Chapter 45: The Great Battle with the Mountain Goblins

  A strange premonition surged into everyone's heart, and the black cow was staring blankly at the tiger head. How could this cat walk upright on its hind legs? And it can even use its front paws to drag things... Wait a minute... what is it dragging?

  "Ah~~~~ this...this...is..." Black Cow's butt landed on the ground, his face filled with incredulity as he stared at the monster in front of him.

  "The mountain... the Mountain Ogre..." The black cow called out the name of this monster, and others didn't feel anything, but as soon as Yang Hao heard the two words "Mountain Ogre", his heart felt a chill, and he recalled what his father had told him about it. Back then, his own father, along with two underworld enforcers, hadn't been able to take down the Mountain Ogre, and if not for the timely assistance of a Taoist priest, who knows what would have happened? This gave an idea of just how formidable it was.

  Yang Hao ran to Yunxue's ear and whispered a few words, then Yunxue asked on behalf of Yang Hao.

  "How can you be sure it's a mountain goblin???? Could it be something else??"

  "No, absolutely not... I heard my grandfather say that the mountain goblin is as big as a mountain, with infinite strength, has horns on its head, and a body like a monkey. It's also very intelligent. If it's kind, it will bring good fortune to the area, but if it's resentful, it will bring disaster... Look at this thing, it completely matches what my grandfather said, except... except it seems to be a young one, not born for many days..."

  "What... what should we do???? " Yunxue seemed to have also accepted this fact, and asked somewhat nervously....

  "I don't know either... I've never seen a yōkai before, it... it shouldn't exist, right?"

  "Don't say any more, it's not suitable to stay here for long, everyone quickly pack up and leave..." Kerry was the first to react, shouting a sentence after which Hei Niu and Yun Xue helped her pack up. Before long, everything was ready.

  "Hurry...hurry and follow me..." The black cow bellowed loudly, turned around and ran down the slope. Because Grandpa had told him that if he ever encountered a mountain goblin, he must run downhill, as the goblin was not used to running on downhill roads and would be much slower. If he ran uphill, no animal could outrun it...

  Everyone saw that in the woods not far from themselves, hundreds of birds flew together, and the sturdy big trees fell one after another with a loud crash. The ground shook more and more violently, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer...

  "Run quickly...." The black cow's exclamation made everyone's body tremble, and their consciousness suddenly became much clearer. Following the black cow's words, they turned around and ran. Tiger Head and Yang Hao were still running at the back... After running for more than 10 minutes, the group of people were exhausted and panting. Yang Hao looked back and suddenly saw a large black monster standing in the place where they had just rested. Its body was like a great mountain, and its height was even higher than the tallest tree. The sharp horns on its head looked like evil spirits from hell. At this moment, the Mountain Ogre was comparable to Musha after his transformation. However, it looked even more ferocious and powerful than Musha.

  "Aaaa~~~" A mournful roar shook the sky and earth. The mountain ogre seemed to have discovered the corpse of the little mountain ogre and let out a sorrowful howl...

  "Not good, it's angry... Everyone quickly find a place to hide..." The group of people didn't say another word, and quickly looked around for a place to take cover.

  "Look... there's a cluster of huge boulders... we can hide behind them..." Yunxue saw in the forest not far ahead, many giant stones standing upright, among which one place had naturally formed a small recessed cave, and everyone rushed towards this only lifesaving spot.

  "Ahhh...Ahhh..." The mountain goblin seemed to have discovered Yang Hao and the others' tracks, and while continuously wailing, it rolled and crawled towards Yang Hao with a desperate momentum.

  "Hurry...hurry and get in..." Hei Niu gestured for Yun Xue and Kairui to hide in the cave first. Just as he himself had barely crawled in, Da Shanmo arrived...

  The giant mountain goblin's eyes were bloodshot as it glared at Yang Hao and Hu Tou with unbridled fury. Hei Niu and Yun Xue were on edge, their hearts in their throats, as if the mountain goblin could squash Hu Tou and that wisp of a ghost into a meat patty with just one hand or foot.

  "It seems to see me~~~" Yang Hao stared at the giant in front of him with an unblinking gaze. At close range, the mountain ogre looked even more terrifying. This big fellow not only had a huge head, but also hair that stood upright like steel needles. Those two large feet seemed to weigh thousands of pounds... The mountain ogre raised one hand, clenched its fist, and pounded its chest repeatedly. "Aaaaah......"

  Its cry seemed to be questioning Yang Hao, why he killed its child, vowing to make Yang Hao pay with his life. Yang Hao felt its thoughts and immediately transmitted his consciousness over, this mountain goblin was indeed a spiritual being that could see Yang Hao, and even sense Yang Hao's thoughts...

  "Everyone, your child wasn't killed by us..."

  "Who are you? My poor child, gone from me in less than 3 days...". Da Shan Xiao's face was filled with unbearable sorrow.

  "I understand your sorrow, but your child was not killed by us. We just arrived here and rested for a short while when we saw a black shadow darting out, and then your child died in front of us."

  "It's impossible, what dark shadow?? Don't come up with excuses.. You didn't kill it, why are you running?? Are you guilty in your hearts, stop talking nonsense and come to atone for your lives!!" The mountain goblin's breath changed from sadness to anger in an instant. The tiger head also seemed to have received the greatest shock in history. Its waist moved, and with its constantly shaking body, a huge white tiger appeared in front of the mountain goblin. However, in the eyes of this enormous mountain goblin, not even a dragon would be taken seriously, let alone a tiger. Only the mountain goblin's two fists were raised above its head, striking down vertically. This strike brought about a strong gust of wind through the forest, causing leaves to fly everywhere.....

  "What the...?! How did he dodge that?!" The giant mountain demon looked at Yang Hao with a puzzled expression, and then a massive fist came flying towards him. However, the mountain demon still failed to hit Yang Hao. The ground cracked open with a 20-meter long fissure. The tiger head watched as the mountain demon indeed was formidable, its punches and kicks capable of uprooting mountains and rivers. It was absolutely impossible to engage in a direct confrontation with it, estimating that its strength was greater than that of 10 giant elephants or 20 rhinoceroses combined. At this moment, the mountain demon's mind was fully focused on Yang Hao, having missed twice, it couldn't help but feel enraged, determined to chase down Yang Hao and kill him with one move. However, the mountain demon didn't realize that there was still a giant white tiger behind it, its back currently facing the tiger. The tiger head saw an opportunity and quickly ran towards a large tree on the side, leaping into the air and landing squarely on the mountain demon's back. Without hesitation, the tiger head bit down.

  The big mountain demon suddenly felt a pain in his back, and with a loud roar, he swung his huge fist towards his back. The tiger head looked at it hastily and jumped backwards. As soon as its feet touched the ground, the bloody piece of meat was also thrown to the ground by it.

  Has the mountain goblin ever suffered such a loss??? Dealing with tigers, the mountain goblin can easily kill it with one hand, although he can see that the tiger in front of him is somewhat different, but still underestimates it. So, its attention shifted over here.

  Yang Hao and Dashan Yao's confrontation wasn't because Yang Hao was faster, but because he was a ghost with the divine dragon blood, so he could withstand Dashan Yao's extremely masculine punches without much impact. An ordinary ghost would have dissipated long ago. However, even so, Yang Hao felt that he couldn't let it attack Tiger Head. Although Tiger Head had an advantage in speed, the difference in strength was too great. If there was a slight mistake, Tiger Head might be killed by this giant's punches. Therefore, Yang Hao became a "mosquito" around Dashan Yao, disturbing its vision and attention as much as possible.

  The tiger head didn't let up, and every time the mountain ogre exposed its back, it wouldn't give up. The mountain ogre's back was already a mess of blood holes and blurred flesh. Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, the big mountain ogre stood in place, panting heavily. Yang Hao continued to distract the mountain ogre, but what happened next made everyone break out in cold sweat. The mountain ogre followed Yang Hao as he turned 180 degrees, its back once again exposed to the tiger head. Without hesitation, the tiger head leapt up and was about to succeed when the big mountain ogre suddenly spun around, saw the tiger head flying towards it, and its anger reached a boiling point. A massive fist hurtled towards the tiger head. The tiger head was caught off guard by the sudden change, but while in mid-air, how could it change direction??? With the giant fist about to hit its body, the tiger head tilted its body to minimize contact with the fist. As a result, the mountain ogre's fist only grazed it.

  "Boom~~ boom~ boom" The body of the tiger head flying out continuously hit and broke 2 thick big trees, then was buried in a pile of rubble, the hiding place of Yunxue and Heiniu also appeared under this impact.

  “Hmph….” The tiger's throat felt sweet and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. Da Shan Gui looked at it with satisfaction and rushed towards the hiding place of Yun Xue. It seemed to have realized that Yang Hao had no attacking power, only able to disrupt its judgment from the side, while the only one with attacking power, the old tiger, had already been punched flying by itself. Next, it could avenge its child as it pleased. Thinking of this, it raised its fist and heavily smashed it towards the recessed cave. At this time, a white light suddenly appeared, and it was the tiger head. After spitting out blood, it saw Yun Xue's hiding place being discovered and knew that it was extremely dangerous. It rushed up without regard for its life, biting down on Da Shan Gui's wrist, and at the same time, it tore to the side. Da Shan Gui's fist fell off target and did not hit the recessed cave, but the pain made Da Shan Gui even angrier. His other hand grabbed the tiger head...

  "You stinky mosquito, I'll pinch you to death..." Yang Hao heard the implication in its roar and his fear reached an extreme point. He knew that as long as Da Shan Xie used a bit of force, the tiger head in its hand would definitely become "hot dog". The black cow and others who had just escaped also saw the tiger head being pinched by Shan Xie, and Yunxue involuntarily shouted out loud.

  "Tiger head....." "You big monster... stinky monster... let it go quickly!" Yunxue's shout was accompanied by a trembling tone, but Dashan Jiao, instead of getting angry, froze in place.
