Chapter 182: Chapter 112: This Dog Is Really Something—I Want to Keep One Too (6k)_2
Some players seem to have forgotten that they are participating in a world quest.
Especially the players from the Divine Continent and the surrounding countries.
They are the most familiar with this place.
They grew up listening to the legends here.
This is the resting place of the deceased!
Having arrived at the legendary Underworld, how many people can truly be unafraid in their hearts?
However, no matter how much they hesitated, the ghost soldiers remained as unmoving as the coldest machines.
Even when the souls were utterly exhausted, they still did not stop but continued to usher the souls forward.
A strange fragrance wafted continuously.
Legend says that the fragrance released by the Other Shore Flowers can awaken the deepest memories of the soul.
The good and evil deeds done in life will all come to light, facilitating the interrogation and judgment at Yama Hall later.
On the other hand, Lu Wenwu seemed completely unaffected, walking with extraordinary ease.
Moreover, with Black and White Impermanence by his side, he looked like a tourist following two guides, out for a leisurely sight-seeing tour.
He constantly looked left and right, admiring the wonderful scenery that the mortal world could never appreciate.
Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but ask, “Brothers, can I pick an Other Shore Flower?”
“Damn, are you crazy!”
Black Impermanence suddenly cursed, his eyes filled with horror.
“Brother! Listen to my advice, don’t do anything foolish!”
Seeing his demeanor, Lu Wenwu immediately assured them repeatedly that he was just joking and had no intention of plucking hundreds of Other Shore Flowers to plant in his personal space.
The three continued walking silently ahead.
White Impermanence, who had to maintain a stern appearance, was rather shy and remained almost silent throughout the journey.
Lu Wenwu and Black Impermanence, however, hit it off well, chatting happily along the way, quite different from the other players consumed by fear and suffering.
It was likely due to their mental state and living environment.
Walking down Yellow Springs Road, Lu Wenwu didn’t feel the supposed pain of departing from the mortal world at all.
The impressions reflected in his heart had no impact on him whatsoever.
Some players with resilient psychology and steadfast Dao Hearts were inevitably shocked upon seeing how easily Lu Wenwu walked along Yellow Springs Road.
Whose subordinate is this!
Such bravery!
Unlike the hesitation of ordinary players and souls, Lu Wenwu and the other two soon arrived at the end of Yellow Springs Road.
This was also the third stop for souls arriving in the underworld—Wangxiang Platform.
The old saying goes: “Upon reaching Wangxiang Platform, gazing at one’s homeland becomes a dream.”
Lu Wenwu looked ahead, seeing a tall and spacious stone platform emitting a dim light, surprisingly bringing a sense of peace and calm, soothing all sorrow and agitation in the heart.
Three large scarlet characters were inscribed on it—Wangxiang Platform.
Its commanding position allowed one to gaze back.
And indeed, there were players who went up to gaze upon it.
Although they weren’t dead, just participating in a quest, going up to see was permissible and even the most strict ghost soldiers would oblige.
“The legendary Wangxiang Platform…” Lu Wenwu sighed, “But doesn’t something feel a bit off? Is it reasonable for this to be in Song-style computerized font?”
“It’s reasonable, why wouldn’t it be? We’ve already said that our underworld must keep pace with the times!” Black Impermanence said carelessly, “Ever since the merger of the Buddhist and Daoist Netherworlds, Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva showed compassion for all beings, making a vow here, and this Wangxiang Platform is blessed with great magical power.”
The usually silent White Impermanence unexpectedly spoke: “Would you like to go up and take a look?”
“I’d rather not.” Lu Wenwu laughed, declining the offer, “When the day comes that I’m truly dead, that’ll be the time to ascend the platform.”
White Impermanence had no comment.
“Brother, if that day ever comes, the two of us will come to pick you up again.”
Black Impermanence laughed heartily, patting Lu Wenwu on the back, and together they continued to walk forward.
“Come on, come on, the next few stages won’t be easy. We can’t intervene, everything depends on you.”
After Wangxiang Platform, walking forward, Lu Wenwu suddenly heard a series of evil dog barks.
The barking grew louder and more terrifying.
Frequent visitors to the afterlife would know that this was the fourth stop in the underworld—Evil Dog Ridge.
Lu Wenwu looked ahead, seeing a pack of evil dogs with fierce expressions, their fur like steel brushes bristling with barbs.
The clashing of their iron and steel teeth produced a sound like metal scraping, extremely frightening.
These evil dogs had blood-red eyes, recognizing no kin.
The souls of the players passed by in trepidation, and the dogs leapt at them like sharks smelling blood, biting them!
Tearing at each soul body as if they were of flesh and blood, with skin torn and blood flowing.
Once they bit down, they were loath to release their grip without tearing off a limb or leg.
Fortunately, the souls of the players were generally more resilient than ordinary people.
Driven briskly by the ghost soldiers, they managed to fend off attacks from the evil dogs, not getting torn apart.
“Damn dogs, does a dignified B Tier player like me have to put up with this shit? All my power is in my soul!” a player who dodged the evil dogs shouted with resentment.
His hands formed a seal simultaneously, and a powerful flame giant dragon took shape instantly, sweeping towards the attacking dogs!
Thick plumes of gray smoke rose from the bodies of several evil dogs.
Though not dead, they retreated whimpering.
