Chapter Thirty-Four I Want to Go with You to Jiu You City

  The sky quickly darkened, and the dense foliage blocked out the fiery sunset, leaving the forest in a dull haze.

  The cute younger sister kept flying around Shen Dou's head, seeing that Shen Dou didn't pay much attention to it, it also became quiet.

  Because the cute girl had said before that this road would encounter many strange and fierce beasts, Shen Du walked quickly with his eyes not idle, his whole body was on high alert for the situation around him.

  But after walking for about an hour, all Shen saw was still the mountain full of beautiful red flowers and lush greenery, just as she was about to relax, she heard a dog barking again.

  "Woof woof!"

  The sound subsided, and in the distance ahead, a lame black dog was surrounded by twenty or thirty massive saber-toothed tigers.

  "Stupid dog, your master is already dead. As the most loyal spirit beast in this world, shouldn't you follow in your master's footsteps and leave?" A majestic saber-toothed tiger sneered at the black dog.

  "No! It's impossible, Master's swordsmanship is unparalleled, it can't be that easy for him to die!" The black dog yelled angrily, its two eyes gleaming with an entrancing green light in the dim forest.

  But the saber-toothed tigers were growling "Roooaaaar", step by step closing in on the black dog.

  The black dog glanced around at the saber-toothed tigers surrounding it, its lame front leg pointing accusingly as it barked in a commanding tone: "All of you, back off! Otherwise, when my master returns, he will not let any of you off!"

  "Haha, this guy must have gone crazy, otherwise how could he say such stupid things. We witnessed a young man beheading the Soul Dampener, and now it's impossible for the Soul Dampener to control us again."

  A saber-toothed tiger stuck out its tongue, revealing rows of sharp fangs, and said fiercely: "Today, we're definitely going to eat you!"

  The black dog showed no fear, despite being lame in one front leg, and still put on a bold stance, ready to engage in a bloody battle with the dozens of big guys in front of him.

  Shen Du stood not far away, gazing for a long time, worried about the black dog in his heart, but he didn't dare to approach rashly. Just now, fighting with Hun Dan had consumed a lot of physical strength and sword energy, even his internal energy had been depleted a lot.

  Turning back to look, the strange bird that had been following me all along was nowhere to be seen, probably it saw the situation wasn't favorable and flew away by itself.

  Shen didn't think much anymore, staring intently at the black dog, only to find that the black dog seemed to have already discovered his presence.

  But upon closer inspection, it was staring at the Soul Dull in his arms. From a distance, the green-glowing eyes seemed to be filled with a hint of despair and suffering.

  Shen was shocked by this gaze, even if it were a person, it would be hard to see such a moving gaze.

  "No!"; The black dog seemed as if it didn't dare to believe what it saw, and retreated step by step, with two lines of bloody tears flowing from its eyes.

  At this moment, dozens of saber-toothed tigers pounced on the black dog at the same time, and the black dog did not dodge or evade, its eyes fixed on the already deceased Soul Damp.

  Shen Du could no longer stand idly by, although Jiuyou City was not his usual haunt, but seeing this scene of bullying the weak, he found it hard to turn a blind eye, let alone that he had just promised Hundan to bring Hundan's corpse before Hapi Ge.

  From its physical characteristics and the black dog's gaze at Soul Dullness, Shen Du had already confirmed that the black dog in front of him was indeed Hapi Ge as mentioned by Soul Dullness.

  He then put down the pale corpse, shook his long sword and rushed out, stepping on the void, and with a single sword from above the heads of the group of sword-toothed tigers, just in time to block the footsteps of the sword-toothed tigers.

  The saber-toothed tigers were shocked, retreated several steps back, and roared loudly.

  They had witnessed Shen Dou's soulless killing with their own eyes and were already terrified of him, so they dejectedly left his line of sight.

  Hapi Ge didn't have time to thank Shen Du, and like a tiger pouncing on its prey, he quickly rushed to the side of the pale corpse, wailing sorrowfully.

  Shen Du furrowed his brow and walked closer to Hapi Ge's side, comforting him: "Don't be sad, the soul's death was his own choice. He hoped you would devour his flesh and blood as well as his soul, in order to alleviate your physical suffering. Although I don't know why he wanted to do this, it was after all his last wish. I hope you can fulfill it for him."

  Hapi Ge heard this and was disheartened, the blood tears that flowed from his eyes had already dried up, his eyeballs which originally shone with a green light now turned into a bloody red color, in this dimly lit forest, it looked extremely terrifying.

  It glared fiercely at Shen Du, shouting loudly: "If it weren't for your appearance, how would the master die so easily? One day, I will definitely take your head to avenge the master's death." After finishing speaking, it dragged the pale corpse in its mouth towards the west.

  "I!"; Shendu wanted to explain that it wasn't him who killed Soul Dancer, the cause of Soul Dancer's death was mainly due to being poisoned by a mysterious and unknown toxin, combined with overexertion from practicing internal energy, which led to toxic air attacking his heart and killing him, but Happy Brother had already dragged Soul Dancer's corpse far away.

  Shen Du stood still on the spot, and didn't know why, but his mind kept thinking of He Pi Ge's vicious gaze.

  As soon as I arrived here, I had a fierce battle with the soul of the Sword King, not only was my left shoulder injured, but also my internal energy and sword energy were damaged, and there are still decades to come in the future, I really don't know how to spend them.

  He touched the incomplete sword manual in his bosom and felt somewhat relieved.

  At last, I have found the sword manual. As long as I dedicate myself to practicing it, I should be able to make a breakthrough soon.

  Thinking so, he decided to find a secluded place in this mountain to adjust his breath first, and then set off for Jiuyou City.

  I don't even know what the Jiuyou City is like, I just learned from that strange bird's mouth that there are many monsters there, and those monsters love to eat human flesh and drink human blood, especially high-level swordsmen, they are their favorite food.

  But then I thought about it, that strange bird clearly said that to go to Jiuyou City, you have to cross countless snow-capped mountains, and there are many ferocious snow monsters on the snow-capped mountains, so how did it get here from Jiuyou City?

  Did you really fly here with just two wings?

  Shen Du begins

  Doubting the identity of that strange bird, the more I think about it, the more fearful I feel in my heart.

  "Could it be another monster?!"

  Thinking of this, it's indeed possible that the long laugh that shook heaven and earth just now was so powerful that countless birds and beasts around were shocked to death with seven orifices bleeding, even he as a mid-tier sword cultivator felt hard to resist, yet the strange bird returned to his side without any injury.

  Just as he was deep in thought, a young girl wearing a pure white feather cloak appeared before him, leaning against the trunk of an enormous ancient tree, as if waiting for something.

  Noticing Shen Dou's arrival, she slowly turned her face, a pair of beautiful eyes, deeply sizing up Shen Dou, with a soft and gentle tone asked: "Young master, where are you going?"

  Shen Du heard the words and stopped in his tracks about ten steps away from the girl, thinking to himself that it was said that outsiders were not allowed to enter this forest, so why would there be a third person here. He asked in surprise: "I don't know your surname and name, miss, what brings you to appear here?"

  "Hehe." The young girl stretched out her slender white jade hand to cover her face and giggled, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Shen Dou's firm gaze, softly saying: "Young master hasn't answered my question yet, how come you're asking me instead?" As she spoke, she stepped closer to Shen Dou.

  Shen Du cautiously took a step back and warned: "Don't come any closer, if you have something to say, hurry up and say it, I'm busy!"

  "Oh!"; The young girl indeed stopped in her tracks, with a disappointed expression saying: "I originally wanted to ask you for a favor, but since you're busy, I won't bother you anymore, please go ahead."; After finishing speaking, she stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

  Shen Dou heard this and had another question in his mind. Since there was no one around, waiting for someone to help here seemed ridiculous. However, he didn't say much and prepared to step over the girl's body. But at that moment, a strange fragrance emitted from the girl's body made Shen Dou feel an unprecedented sense of comfort. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks and take a closer look at the girl. Only then did he notice that not only were her facial features delicate, but her pale skin also had a faint pink hue, making her resemble Fei Lu somewhat.

  But Feilu carried a proud and charming demeanor, while the girl emitted an inexplicable innocence.

  "Sir, don't you still have something on your mind?" The young girl reminded Shen Du in a soft voice.

  Shen Du then felt his own rudeness, and his face slightly flushed, and he continued to walk towards the deep mountains in the east.

  But just as Shen Dou walked out dozens of steps later, the woman who claimed to be Yan Mo shouted again: "Young master, please stay."

  Shen Du heard this and was shocked, extremely curious, stopped in his tracks, slowly turned around and coolly asked: "Miss, is there anything else?"

  "I just want to remind the young master that going further ahead is Mushroom Mountain, where all the mushrooms are highly toxic, reminding the young master to be careful." The girl's voice was so soft and gentle that even the cold and rigid words sounded pleasant and acceptable when spoken by her.

  Then Shen Du also smiled sincerely and thanked her: "Thank you for reminding me, Qian Mo young lady." After finishing speaking, he turned around to prepare to leave.

  But then I felt that the other party's kind reminder to myself was also a help to myself, and I couldn't be an ungrateful person who forgets kindness, so I turned around again and asked softly: "Miss, you said earlier that you wanted me to help with something, but what is it?"

  Upon hearing the words, a pair of beautiful eyes that were already extremely good-looking sparkled with excitement, and a 30-degree smile lifted at the corners of her mouth. She took big strides to stand in front of Shen Du and said softly: "I want to go to Jiuyou City with you, will you take me along?"
