Chapter 604 Good Child, Suppressing the God of the Underworld
This old man?

Li Wushou glanced at the old beggar who had somehow gotten up from the bed, somewhat surprised.

That annoyed expression seems somewhat familiar?

The old beggar seemed to be in a similar state when he faced the mysterious beasts in the River Styx and the Corpse Daoist possessing Boyue's skin at Huangyuan Mountain last time.

As Li Wushou followed Mu San, he asked:
"Are the underworld gods of Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Mountain also your old friends?"

The old beggar stepped off the bed, walked to the incense table, lit an incense stick, and then replied:

"They were just good children, already dead, yet some beasts dare to disturb their peace, using their names."

In the end, Li Wushou sensed a murderous aura on the old beggar's face, something he hadn't felt in a long time!
Based on Mu San and the old beggar's words, Li Wushou roughly guessed what had happened.

The underworld gods who distinguished good from evil at Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Mountain must have died long ago.

The creatures currently entrenched in Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Mountain are most likely innate ghost spirits formed by the aggregation of numerous yin spirits and innate Dao patterns.

Having understood these things, Li Wushou did not pursue the matter further.

The old beggar had a close relationship with the underworld. He had previously guessed that the other party might also be a god of the underworld, so it was normal for him to know the gods of the underworld from Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Mountain.

Just a good kid?

Isn't that a bit too much of a boast?
How long did the old beggar live?
He muttered something to himself, then nodded slightly, which was his way of agreeing.

Although he often tugged at the old beggar's clothes, Li Wushou never considered tugging at the old beggar's clothes when the old beggar was serious about something.

Composing himself, Li Wushou followed Mu San into the Evil Dog Ridge.

The moment he stepped in, Li Wushou's mind suddenly cleared.

Looking at the many things inside Evil Dog Ridge again, they became much clearer than when they were outside.

Only then did Li Wushou realize that he had originally thought it was only because of the innate Dao patterns within the bodies of the Netherworld Gods of Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Mountain that he could not see them clearly.

At this moment, it seems that Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Mountain are quite extraordinary.

This mountain, like the "Bridge of Helplessness" that guided them into the tomb, probably contains many innate Dao patterns.

The combined effect of these two factors is what kept Li Wushou in a state of confusion, as if he were looking at flowers through a fog.

How could a bridge and a mountain be so extraordinary?
This innate mausoleum is quite a grand undertaking!

Even Li Wushou was quite shocked.

As Li Wushou looked around, Mu San's body in front of him began to tremble uncontrollably.

The painful memories of crossing the Evil Dog Ridge in the past often flash through my mind.

Only after glancing back at the calm-looking Li Wushou did Mu San force himself to regain his composure and continue leading the way.

Seeing this, Li Wushou nodded in approval.

"This Mu San is weak, but he's got guts!"

He gave a silent compliment, when suddenly a series of low growls from the mountains echoed.

These low growls, filled with bloodlust and greed, echoed from all directions of the mountains.

A rough estimate suggests that there are at least several hundred of these vicious dogs.

Judging from the movements of the pack of vicious dogs, they have clearly discovered Mu San.

The rustling of the dark woods caused Mu San, who was leading the way, to turn deathly pale. He murmured in a daze:

"How could it be so fast? And how could there be so much?"

This was different from their previous experiences crossing the Evil Dog Ridge, where at most a few dozen vicious dogs would cause them heavy casualties.

When had Mu San ever seen such a grand spectacle?

Why are the two underworld gods of Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Mountain behaving so strangely this time?
Although Li Wushou was still following behind him, Mu San's mind had gone completely blank.

Just then, beams of scarlet eyes emerged from the thicket of dark wood.

The pack of vicious dogs surrounded them with a speed that Mu San could never have imagined.

Li Wushou frowned slightly as he looked at the pack of vicious dogs.

These vicious dogs are really ugly!

It's called a vicious dog, but it's actually more like a human that has been mutated.

Each vicious dog was about five feet tall, with limbs covered in sharp claws, a long and thin back, and looked somewhat bony.

The features of a "human" can still be vaguely discerned on its face. The mouth, with its exaggerated canine teeth, occupies most of the face and is currently dripping with saliva.

The moment they looked at Li Wushou and Mu San, the dogs drooled even more.

Its claws scraped the ground, accompanied by greedy growls, making Mu San's scalp tingle.

A low exclamation ran through my mind:
"It's over!"

But the next moment, Mu San remembered Li Wushou behind him, gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly:

"My lord, I will lure these vicious dogs away. You should retreat back to Wild Ghost Village along the way you came and contact Youdu City to discuss further!"

After saying that, he tore off his clothes, revealing his tattered body that had been gnawed by vicious dogs. The Dao patterns that had been tightly wrapped around his body were now actively seeping out of Mu San's skin. At this moment, Li Wushou could actually smell the aroma of flesh on the other man's body?

This meaty aroma isn't from the sense of smell, but rather from the craving of the Dao patterns within the body.

If even Li Wushou was like this, then the many vicious dogs that surrounded him were even more so.

Even the god of the underworld hidden deep within the wood seemed to cast his gaze upon us.

Li Wushou pondered for a moment:

These vicious dogs are tearing at Mu San and these Yin spirits because they want the Dao patterns within their bodies.

It doesn't seem surprising!

Muttering to himself, Li Wushou slowly walked to Mu San's side, who was about to run towards the pack of vicious dogs, and gently placed his hand on Mu San's shoulder.

"Let me do it!"

Mu San froze, losing control of his body.

Then the vicious dogs that had been poised to attack suddenly stopped in their tracks.

A sudden chill ran through my mind, and at the same time I heard a crisp sound of wood breaking.

"Crack!"

"Rustle"

A series of sounds of rubbing branches and leaves of the Yin wood followed, and the Yin wood that was originally somewhat lush around Mu San and Li Wushou split in two at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, a vacuum formed around the two of them!
Mu San stood frozen in place, not yet able to react, when he saw the still, vicious dogs, along with the Yin Wood, split in two.

Even the Dao patterns within the vicious dog's body shattered at the same time.

At the same time, Mu San suddenly felt his body lighten, and then the surrounding scenery changed.

When they stood still again, they realized they were deep in the Evil Dog Ridge.

A colossal creature, composed of the bodies of countless vicious dogs, lay prostrate before him.

An overwhelming aura rushed towards him, pressing down so hard that Mu San could not stand upright, and even the Dao patterns within his body seemed about to collapse.

Mu San knew perfectly well that this was the God of the Underworld from Evil Dog Ridge in person.
Is this the god of the underworld who has held the power of life and death over the village of wild ghosts for so many years?
This was also the first time Mu San had seen the true form of the God of the Underworld. Although he harbored many grievances, his physical instincts compelled him to kneel on the ground.

"Ugh, please."

"life!"

Mu San tried his best to stand up straight, when suddenly a mournful cry rang in his ears.

Looking up, one could see thousands of vicious dogs writhing and struggling on the body of the god of the underworld, which lay prostrate on the ground.

Mu San then realized that the mournful cry was actually coming from the body of the God of the Underworld.

And the state of the god of the underworld is also somewhat abnormal.

A golden longsword was stuck in the other's head, piercing through the body of the god of the underworld.

The blade pierced through the bone structure formed from the Nine Symbols Innate Dao Patterns within the opponent's body. The prostrate posture he saw was because the God of the Underworld was pinned to the Evil Dog Ridge by this long blade.

this.!
Mu San stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend what had happened.

After a while, Mu San suddenly woke up, looked around, and murmured:
"Where are the officials of Youdu City?"

As the murmur ended, Mu San's heart skipped a beat once more.

I subconsciously looked up at the horizon.

Upon seeing it, his knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground.

A colossal object was plummeting rapidly from the sky, tumbling backward for dozens of feet. Suddenly, a deafening roar reached Mu San's ears, followed by a shrill crowing of a rooster.

Mu San looked over with lingering fear, and what he saw was a sharp beak, slanted into the mountain ridge.

With just one glance, Mu San felt a stinging pain in his single eye.

The sight of his eyes being pecked out by a golden rooster was a recurring nightmare, and that sharp beak was hundreds of times larger than the rooster that had blinded him.

His gaze swept back and forth between the two wailing behemoths.

An unbelievable thought popped into my head.

Are these the two underworld gods of Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Mountain?!
Could it be?

The next moment, this conjecture was confirmed.

Suddenly, a soft hum echoed from the mountains.

"Shut up! I'll kill you if you make another sound!"

Mu San quickly looked up and saw a figure suspended in mid-air above.

White hair and green robe, fluttering in the wind.
