Chapter 1192 Dog bites dog

"It looks like a bird, but also like a crow?"

"It's a Heavenly Dog." Xu Fu said in a deep voice.

"Tiangou?" Shangluo asked, "I seem to have heard of this thing. But why is it called 'Tiangou'?"

He had seen the image of Tengu in many literary works. Specifically, it was more like a masked monster with a red face and a long nose, and it didn't look like a "dog" at all.

"It was indeed a dog, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Shangluo heard a series of reports: "Dog! There's a dog!"

King Kong shouted in the channel: "So many Tengu!"

"You saw it too? What did it look like?" Shangluo asked.

"It's a black-winged birdman with a red face and a long nose - but it's a dog! I can see it! Under this layer of skin, there is a dog! When the werewolf saw the tengu, he went up without saying a word! They are fighting each other! They are dog-eat-dog. No, I am also a dog. Anyway, the Dane Dog Team has already gone up, see you later."

The signals ahead started to get confusing. The Tengu and Dangou seemed to be fighting each other. A familiar wolf howl was heard ahead. It was Schneider who had joined the battle. A civil war between the canines in the spirit world had begun ahead.

Here, Fu Yuanshan, who was following beside him, also stood up suddenly. He used his hearing to capture the subtle disturbance in the surrounding air - a white gust of wind gathered with his gaze and cut off a series of branches in unison. The black shadow that was peering in the air was dispersed far away, leaving only the black crow feathers falling from the sky.

The crow feather fluttered down and was carried to Shangluo by a breeze.

"Shangluo, look at what this is." Fu Yuanshan handed the feather to Shangluo.

"This feels so familiar?" Shangluo held the feather - a familiar feeling came with it. The breath was full of the smell of mossy soil, the smell of pine wood in the mountains, the miasma and dew in the early morning, and a hint of wildness.

All these smells pointed to a group that was just around Shangluo: werewolves.

"So, they are werewolves?" Shangluo asked Xu Fu beside him.

"I don't know what you mean by 'werewolf'. But these tengu are indeed the spirits of the jungle."

"How did they come here? You just said they were dogs at first? Why did they become bird-like?"

"Let me correct you." Xu Fu replied, "Originally it was not an ordinary dog, but the appearance of a heavenly dog ​​- the heavenly dog ​​in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. But why it became like this? This is related to local folklore. In short, they believe that the 'heavenly dog' is a natural disaster. Whether it is wind, rain, thunder and lightning, or 'mountain disasters' caused by natural disasters or getting lost, they can all be regarded as 'heavenly dogs'. But you also know that the heavenly dog ​​does not exist here, right?"

"That's true." Shangluo nodded. "Tengu is a great monster in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is impossible for it to appear in such a remote place. So what is the Tengu here..."

"They were once human beings. They were originally monks who lived in the mountains. Because they understood the way of nature, they fell into the wilderness and became 'Tengu' who brought disasters on behalf of the mountains. They were taken away by their own fear and became what they are now."

"Then why didn't you say it?" "The heavenly dogs don't do evil on their own initiative. They are just a natural phenomenon, similar to the fog in the mountains. When I was refining elixirs in this mountain, I never had any conflicts with those heavenly dogs. But for some reason, they actually wanted to confront the court. If this is the case, then I'm afraid they will have to die. You can do whatever you want. They are just some mountain monsters. It's no big deal."

"That being said, there are too many of them." Shangluo looked around, and it seemed that countless eyes were watching in the darkness. Although it was not difficult to kill them one by one, Shangluo did not expect the locals to show such malice.

"Have we offended these monsters in any way?" Shangluo looked at the map. "Logically, we should just follow the route."

[Wait, Shangluo, could it be that you attracted these tengu because you followed the route? ]

"What do you mean?"

[I just checked the information - this kind of Tengu mainly exists in Shugendo, which is similar to a mountain path, where people traverse the landscape in the mountains to practice their own methods. And Tengu often appears on their path of practice to hinder their progress. Aren't you walking on this route now? ]

"Wait." Shangluo suddenly looked forward - because he heard a dog barking.

Dan Dog King Kong rolled and crawled back from the mountain road ahead, and even Schneider abandoned his dignity and rolled and crawled all the way back. Following behind them was the overwhelming black shadows. There were countless crow wings waving in the black shadows, more than locusts. The overwhelming Tengu rushed towards them, and even the places around them that had been dispersed earlier gathered black shadows again.

Two minutes later, they were back to where they were before going up the mountain.

King Kong sat there with his head down, blaming himself for retreating. Schneider looked even more lost, because running away in the middle of a fight was too embarrassing for him.

"Your Excellency the King of Rome, there are too many of them. They are everywhere!"

Schneider pointed awkwardly at the place they had just come from - and the overwhelming Tengu completely disappeared after they exited Kumano Mountain.

"So, the situation is very clear." Titus sent a message.

"Hmm?" Shangluo only then noticed that Titus did not come out with them. He was still in the mountains. "What's going on over there?"

"I walked ahead of the dogs, I hid myself, and I didn't find anything - it seems that this is the problem. This is a route that tests visitors. This area will conduct appropriate tests on all visitors. I did not participate in the ceremony, so the wilderness here did not test me. And everyone, it seems that since you are following the road, the 'test' will naturally come."

"You call this a test?" Shang Luo pointed to the place he had just left. "I feel like I'm going to go on a killing spree today. Are those overwhelming tengu that are as numerous as a plague of locusts suddenly refreshed?"

"Hmm," Titus thought for a moment, "I think this may have something to do with your strength. In fact, Lady Apollonia should also know that a Qigong practitioner like you, King of Rome, is as conspicuous as a light bulb in the spiritual world. This is still used to describe ordinary Qigong practitioners. When you reach the foundation-building stage, you are no longer a light bulb, but more like a flare. And there seem to be two more people among you."

[He means General Fu. Indeed, both of you are very conspicuous. In this case, it may be because your strength is too high that the wilderness here has given you a 'proper' test.]

"Ridiculous!" He took out the Dinghaishenzhen and smashed it to the ground. "Mountain gods and land gods, come out! You are so brave! Open your eyes and see who I really am! Is this a test for your grandfather?! If you don't come out, the big pit of New Antioch will be your fate! I'll count to three!"
