Chapter 23: Cause and Effect

After passing through the dog hole in the palace wall, a small hill appeared in front of him. Xu Tong looked around with his Life Eye Qimen. After repeatedly confirming that there were no guards around, he became suspicious in his heart.

"Aren't there any guards?"

After all, the front door is the emperor's palace, but there are no guards here. Not only are there no guards, but Xu Tong can't even see a ban.

He is indeed the Great Emperor, but this is a bit too conceited.

Thinking of this, Xu Tong thought about it and thought his idea was funny. How could a thief care about his master?

Since the emperor is so relieved, why should he be polite?

When he jumped up and walked up the bluestone steps in front of him, Xu Tong suddenly shuddered after walking only a few steps.

He felt a cool breeze blowing in front of him, and even his physical body felt completely cold.

I couldn't help but shrink my neck and pull the collar tighter.

"Chang Wuju, are you still alive??"

Under the cliff on the other side, Gao Zhuo and Gu Xibai climbed down little by little, holding on to the vines.

Before landing, Gao Zhuo looked around and felt that this place smelled like a garbage dump.

He almost vomited it out.

As soon as one foot landed on the ground, I immediately felt that the sole of my foot was soft. The dark soil on the ground seemed to be the mud after the water had just receded, and there was no force at all when I stepped on it.

"Fuck, this...can't be a latrine, right??"

Gu Xibai resisted the turmoil in his stomach and thought to himself, "No wonder that little fat boy refuses to come down no matter what."

"Often free!"

Gao Zhuo endured the stench and shouted again, but still no one responded. Just when Gao Zhuo thought that this kid had left here, he suddenly looked straight and saw a big hole on the ground not far away.

Immediately, Gao Zhuo ignored the stench and walked to the pit to take a look. Sure enough, the boy was really under the pit, but he was already dizzy.

So he quickly called Gu Xibai, and the two of them worked together to pull Chang Wuju up from under the pothole.

“Can’t this unlucky kid just listen to the fat monk’s instructions before dancing??”

Gao Zhuo sighed with a wise tone, but he completely forgot that just now they also thought that the fat monk wanted them to jump.

He took out a handful of scarlet grass blades from the props book, pinched a handful of them in his hand, and placed them under the bridge of Chang Wuzhen's nose.

Not long after, Chang Wuju sneezed and woke up. As a result, when he opened his mouth, he lay on the side and vomited loudly.

"vomit……"

Chang Wuzhen's face was ashen and he was almost out of breath. It turned out that the reason why he dared to jump from such a high place was not really mindless and reckless. On the contrary, this kind of operation was completely useless to him.

It doesn't matter.

You only need to use [Shunpo Technique] to move yourself in mid-air before landing, slow down your fall, and you can land easily.

But what Chang Wujie never expected was that the stench below the valley would be so bad.

He was knocked unconscious on the spot and fell upside down.

Fortunately, he had already slowed down a lot at that time, and the bottom was very soft, otherwise he would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Gao Zhuo and Gu Xibai understood this. When they climbed down the tree vines, they almost fainted from the stench below.

Fortunately, before coming down, the fat monk gave them three things.

A bag of tips, which the fat monk ordered to open at the critical moment.

There was a black cloth package with something like sand inside. It was soft when pinched. I didn’t know what it was. I threw it into the prop book. The prop book didn’t show the entry.

and a handful of scarlet herbs.

Just crush the herbs and apply it under the bridge of the nose, and you won't be fainted by the smell.

"what's next!"

Chang Wuju covered his head, feeling dizzy. Looking around, he saw a huge valley in front of him, and further ahead was a huge stone cave.

"Go inside."

Gao Zhuo pointed to the cave in front of him. When he came down, the fat monk only said that there was an opportunity for the three of them down here.

But we really don’t know what the specific opportunity is. At the moment, we can only take one step at a time and wait and see.

So the three of them walked through the mud into the cave. The cave was huge, but it didn't look like it was formed naturally.

Because the mountain wall is too smooth, it looks more like man-made.

"Why do I think we were tricked by that bald man? What's written in that bag? Open it and take a look."

The further Chang Wuzhen walked, the more suspicious he became. After what happened just now, he began to doubt the fat monk in his heart.

"No, the fat monk said that we can only open the bag of tips when we have absolutely no choice."

Gao Zhuo shook his head firmly. He believed the monk: "If they try to trick us and move their fingers on it, all three of us will die. Why bother?"

"That's right! The other party has no intention of harming us. Moreover, he has taken great care of us along the way. Besides, he also made it very clear that he accepted the money from the boss, so he gave us a chance."

Gu Xibai analyzed as he walked, it was not that he was gullible, but that the opponent's strength was there. If he had bad intentions, as Gao Zhuo said, none of the three of them would survive.

"Haha! Naive, just a few money?"

Chang Wuzhen curled his lips and thought: "How much money can I buy for an opportunity? Isn't the money in my hand enough to make this monk kneel down and call me grandpa?"

"Hmph, you know nothing. Do you understand that money is hard currency?"

Gao Zhuo was also a little annoyed and suddenly became a little rude when he spoke.

Chang Wuju nodded when he heard the words, and was about to show the money in his hand to open the guy's eyes, when suddenly there was a click under his feet.

When he lowered his head and looked down, he saw that there was actually a bone under his feet.

Immediately he looked ahead and saw that the ground was covered with bones, which made Chang Chang become on guard.

"Why so many bones??"

Gu Xibai looked at the bones in front of him and felt a little scared. Generally speaking, this was not a good sign.

"This is!!"

At this moment, Gao Zhuo suddenly focused his eyes, hesitated for a moment, took a few steps forward, and took a closer look.

"hiss……"

Instantly, a chill hit him, making Gao Zhuo freeze there.

Gu Xibai and Chang Wuju saw that he was motionless, and when they were about to step forward, they heard Gao Zhuo screaming in the team channel: "Don't move!"

The two of them saw Gao Zhuo slowly turning around, his forehead already covered with dense beads of sweat. After making a silent gesture towards the two of them, he raised his hand and pointed forward.

When the two saw this, they walked up to Gao Zhuo, raised their heads and looked forward, and saw a huge ivory stuck in the soil in the darkness in front of them.

This tusk is so huge that even the mammoth tusks in reality cannot compare with it.

One can imagine how huge the owner of this ivory once was, but at this moment, this ivory was thrown here, with the end covered with broken bones and stained with strands of blood.

When the three of them saw this, they couldn't help but think of the demonic elephant that was taken into its mouth by the giant dog.

The demon elephant's corpse is here, so it's self-evident what kind of place this is.

Thinking of this, Gao Zhuo and the others felt their scalps go numb, and they cursed the fat monk in their hearts for throwing them into the doghouse.

"retreat!"

For a moment, the three of them held their breath involuntarily and bowed down, like three big ducks with their butts raised, and stepped back step by step, for fear of waking up the monster lurking in the doghouse.

"Woof!"

Sudden!

A barking sound frightened the three of them. They turned around quickly and took a closer look. They saw a small black native dog behind them. They didn't know when they appeared behind them.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was just a little local dog.

"Woof woof woof!"

The native dog waggled its tail and barked at the three of them.

Seeing the little native dog barking more and more happily, Chang Wuwen stepped forward and grabbed the native dog's mouth. With a bone blade in his other hand, he wanted to kill the native dog, fearing that this little thing would

Bark down and lure the old dog out.

"Don't!"

Soon after saying it, Gu Xibai grabbed Chang Wusu's wrist: "Are you crazy, killing dogs in the kennel? What if this is the child of that old dog, do you think you can get out alive?

??”

Hearing this, Chang Wuzhen was also startled. Looking at the little native dog that was twisting and struggling with its muzzle and muzzle clenched by him, he frowned for a moment: "Then what do you think we should do?"

"let me!"

Gao Zhuo stepped forward, grabbed the native dog's head, took out a roll of tape with one hand and shook it in his hand. He turned his head and said proudly to Chang Wugu and Gu Xibai: "This is not easy.

Wouldn't it be better if we tied its mouth?"

After saying that, he planned to take action, quickly tore off the tape, and wrapped a circle of tape around the dog's mouth. It looked like it was firmly wrapped.

Only then was he satisfied and held the dog in front of him.

"Woooooooo..."

Looking at the puppy, which kept clawing at its mouth and struggling with its head, Gao Zhuo grinned, stretched out a finger and shook it in front of the puppy a few times, and then flicked it to the ground with a snap of his fingers.

After letting out a proud laugh, he clapped his hands and turned around and said proudly: "How about it? I have pretty good hands-on skills."

Gu Xibai rolled his eyes and said to himself: "You know how to bully a puppy like this."

Just when he was about to say something, his pupils suddenly tightened and his body froze in place for a moment.

"What?? Is there any problem?"

Seeing that the two of them didn't reply, Gao Zhuo couldn't help but take a step forward. Unexpectedly, when he took a step forward, Gu Xibai and Chang Wugu took a step back.

Seeing the fear revealed in their eyes, Gao Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came over him.

"Click! Click! Click..."

There seemed to be the sound of something breaking behind him, which made the corners of Gao Zhuo's mouth twitch a few times, and the hairs all over his body stood up unconsciously.

In fear, he didn't dare to look back at all. The sweat on his forehead rolled down the corners of his eyes and he said instantly: "Run!"

After saying "run", Gao Zhuo kicked his legs and jumped up. Under the urging of fear, his clothes were torn apart by a pair of flesh wings, and he was completely transformed into a corpse, turning into a flying yaksha.

"Fuck you, uncle!"

Seeing Gao Zhuo, Gu Xibai and Chang Wuji ran away without any warning. When they came to their senses, they saw a pair of wild pupils as big as fireballs sweeping towards them.

With these huge eyeballs, the two of them could even clearly see the tape stuck to the dog's nose.

"Woof!"

A roar of a dog shook the ground and the mountains shook. The black dog in front of them pounced, its huge body pressing down with overwhelming power. For a moment, Gu Xibai and Chang Wugu were unable to move.

Chang Wuzhen even found that his space teleportation ability could not be used at this moment.

"It's over!"

Seeing the huge figure rushing towards them, the two of them felt a chill in their hearts and despair showed in their eyes.

They never thought that one day they would die in the mouth of a local dog, even if it was the dog raised by the emperor.

"boom……"

The raging wind blew up the surrounding gravel and bones.

But the expected pain did not come, and it was only when they opened their eyes that they realized that they were still alive.

The black dog ignored them both and chased Gao Zhuo straight away.

"Are we... okay??"

Gu Xibai's lips trembled, feeling that her breathing had stopped at that moment.

Until now, I still can't believe the fact that I am still alive.

On the side, Chang Wuju touched himself and made sure that he had no arms or legs. Then he breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said as if he was awake from a dream:

"Is it because we are covered in feces and this dog is too lazy to eat us??"

"Not necessarily."

Gu Xibai looked at the direction the black dog was chasing, and shook his head: "Maybe this is a personal vendetta."

Who made Gao Zhuo not only silence people, but also give them a slap in the head?

But after all, the two of them couldn't just watch Gao Zhuo die.

I can only bite the bullet and chase after him, looking for an opportunity to rescue this idiot.

Compared with Gao Zhuo's troubles, Xu Tong was equally uncomfortable on the other side.

"Huh~"

A breath of white breath came out of Xu Tong's mouth, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a thin layer of frost and dissipated in the cold wind.

He raised his head and looked at the bluestone path in front of him, his eyelashes already covered with a thick layer of frost.

Only now did Xu Tong understand why such an important place had neither guards nor restrictions.

Because there is no need at all.

The road got colder and colder as we walked up the stairs. Every time we climbed a step, the surrounding air seemed to drop by more than ten degrees.

Even though Xu Tong had wrapped himself in thick clothes, the cool breeze pricked him like a pervasive cold needle.

Every step he took, the soles of his feet felt as if they were half-pierced by sharp spears, causing every muscle in Xu Tong's body to tremble.

He looked up at the steps in front of him. He was clearly so close, but yet he seemed so far away.

At this moment, Xu Tong realized the feeling of being cold at a high place, but the more painful it was, the more it aroused the bloody nature deep in his heart.

Not related to tasks.

At this moment, he wanted to go to the top of the mountain to take a look and see how different the scenery that Emperor Youshan could see was.

Looking at the rugged bluestone path in front of him, Xu Tong took out something from the props book, a ginseng as thick as a radish.

I don't know how long it took for this ginseng to become so thick. Xu Tong usually only cut off a small part of the roots when making elixirs, which was enough for use.

But at this moment, Xu Tong actually put this ginseng to his mouth like a radish and started chewing it.

Suddenly a pungent bitter taste hit him. Xu Tong didn't care so much and just stuffed it into his mouth.

By the time he ate a whole ginseng, Xu Tong's face had turned red and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.

Ginseng is a life-saving medicine, but it is also a killer.

In the Emperor's Forbidden Palace, although Xu Tong's physical strength was suppressed, his physique was still astonishing, far beyond the ordinary, even with a ginseng in his abdomen.

Within a moment, waves of cramping pain came from the abdomen, and it felt as if the internal organs were on fire.

A stream of hot white gas was spit out from the mouth, even stained with a few drops of blood.

The feet on the bluestone were slowly raised, making a tearing sound, and the soles of the shoes were actually frozen to the bluestone.

When Xu Tong saw this, he just frowned and continued walking barefoot, one step, two steps...

The figures on the mountain road gradually began to blur, but there were clear blood marks left on this bluestone path...

…………

"Ahhhhh!"

Gao Zhuo's screams echoed in the empty cave. When he looked back, he saw the huge shadow behind him getting closer and closer. For a moment, Gao Zhuo almost cried.

The last time I was chased by a dog was when I was seven years old.

I didn’t expect that after so many years, I could relive this childhood fear.

Fortunately, after Gao Zhuo transformed into the Flying Yaksha, his speed was astonishingly fast. From time to time, he summoned two zombies and threw them behind him, trying to delay the black dog.

As a result, the dog seemed to have spotted Gao Zhuo and ignored the incoming zombies.

Moreover, this kind of little zombie will be directly bounced away by the aura of the black dog before it can get close, and it will have no effect at all.

"Why are you only chasing me!"

Seeing the black dog getting closer and closer, he felt a huge pressure that almost took his breath away.

Divine power.

Although it is impossible for this kind of pressure to appear on a dog, it is not surprising at all that it appears on this dog. After all, this is a dog raised by the emperor.

Gao Zhuo found that his breathing became more and more rapid. He was shrouded in divine power and his speed suddenly dropped.

"Woof!"

Seeing this, the black dog raised its paws and took a photo of Gao Zhuo. A huge shadow temporarily enveloped Gao Zhuo's head, making Gao Zhuo's blood run cold.

He immediately gritted his teeth, folded his wings, and suddenly fell to the ground.

[Overlord Body] Active Skill 1: Overlord’s Wrath

A layer of faint golden light covered Gao Zhuo's body, and at the same time, his legs landed on the ground and he squatted down heavily.

It consumes 300 script points. After activation, the size increases by 20%, the strength increases by 30%, and the agility decreases by 20%.

During the duration of Overlord's Wrath, you are immune to all physical controls, immune to mental controls below level 6, and your jumping ability is increased by 50%.

After receiving the blessing of the Overlord Body, the oppressive feeling caused by the divine power was suddenly reduced a lot. Immediately, he pushed hard, and the rocks under his feet burst into cracks like spider webs.

The whole person flew out like a cannonball with a "whoosh" sound, narrowly avoiding the dog's claws that were photographed.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked in front of me. With just a slap of the dog's claws, the ground collapsed completely, sending up a ten-meter-high sandstorm.

Fortunately, Gao Zhuo dodged it. If he hadn't dodged it, he would have been able to bear the claws.

Seeing how terrifying this dog was, Gao Zhuo could only speed up his escape by bouncing.

"Woof!"

The black dog pounced in vain, but chased Gao Zhuo more happily, as if he had discovered a new toy, just chasing Gao Zhuo to play with.

For this dog, maybe this is a toy delivered to the door, but for Gao Zhuo, every time he avoids it, it is full of dangers. If he is not careful, he will be slapped by this dog in the next moment.

Bolognese.

"You idiot, you deserve to tease this dog."

At this time, Chang Wenzhen's scolding came from the team channel.

Gao Zhuo heard the curses coming from his mouth, but he had no choice but to say: "If I knew it was this dog, I should let you stab it with a knife and let you try what it feels like to be chased by a dog."

"You two, stop arguing and think of a way." Gu Xibai interrupted the quarrel between the two of them, but Chang Wuju had a grimace: "What way can you think of? Do you think the three of us can beat this dog?"

?”

Gu Xibai was speechless for a moment.

This dog really proved with actions that not only were they worse off than a dog, but they were even inferior to this dog in strength.

The gap is too big. If we really attack with all our strength, not only will we not be able to save Gao Zhuo, we will actually annoy him, and all three of them will die here.

"The tips bag! Yes, look at what it says in the tips bag."

At this time, Gu Xibai suddenly remembered that among the three things the fat monk gave Gao Zhuo, there was a tips bag. He couldn't open it now, and wait until later.

Gao Zhuo's eyes lit up and he didn't care about anything else. He just took out the kit, opened it and took a look.

I saw a small note inside.

Unfold the note and there is a sentence written on it: "Hit the dog's nose with grass ash."

“Grass ash??”

Gao Zhuo was startled, and suddenly he remembered the black cloth package that the fat monk had given him. He immediately took it out and was about to go back and smash it, but when he turned around, he realized that the dog's two red-flame eyeballs were flashing like

Something is coming out.

Immediately his face suddenly changed, and he felt a chill in his heart. He immediately didn't care about hitting the dog's nose with grass ashes. He bit the tip of his tongue, formed a seal with his hands, and his figure turned into a stream of light, flashing forward a few hundred meters away.

It's too late, it's too late.

At the moment when Gao Zhuo flew forward, two strange lights flashed out from the dog's eyes. The next moment, the area where Gao Zhuo was located turned into a piece of gravel.

Seeing this scene, Gao Zhuo's heart froze.

I can't imagine that if this hit me, I'm afraid I would be out of my mind today.

"What's written in the brochure?"

At this time, Gu Xibai asked in the team channel.

"I smashed the dog's nose with grass ash, but I didn't dare approach the dog at all."

Gaucho screamed.

Not to mention smashing the dog's nose, if he got closer at this moment, the dog would tear him into pieces.

Hearing Gao Zhuo's words, Gu Xibai frowned slightly: "Throw the ash into the team warehouse."

"Then what??"

Gao Zhuo asked.

"Hold it and leave the rest to us..."

"boom!!"

There was an earthquake in the mountains and rivers, and rubble fell on Gao Zhuo, almost knocking him out.

But before he could catch his breath, the black dog was already rushing over excitedly, wagging its tail.

"I'll be good."

Gao Zhuo's face twitched a few times and he jumped up to dodge.

Seeing that the space to dodge was getting smaller and smaller, Gao Zhuo was about to despair.

At this moment, two figures were seen running straight from the side.

"It's all on you!"

Along with Gu Xibai's long roar, the muscles of his originally thin body suddenly exploded. With the blessing of martial arts, the muscles on his arms actually made a thunderous buzzing sound. After spinning in place, he suddenly opened his arms and moved forward.

one shot

"Whoosh!"

I don't know what it was that made a sharp crackling sound.

The black dog seemed to have noticed something approaching, but when he looked up, he didn't find anything.

In a daze, Chang Wenzhen's figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Chang Wuju's body was covered with a robe like a green shirt, which was the treasure [Qingluan Immortal Clothes] obtained in the heaven.

The divine power of this dog prevents him from using space teleportation, but the invisibility ability of [Qingluan Immortal Clothes] is not affected.

"Smelly dog, go back!"

Chang Wuju's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and hit the package heavily on the dog's nose.

"boom!"

Immediately the package exploded, and grass ash with a faint golden light sprinkled on the black dog's nose, causing the black dog to let out a piercing scream.

I don’t know what the fat monk used to make this grass ash.

After the black dog howled for a while, he turned around and ran away with his tail between his legs, ignoring Gao Zhuo and the others.

On the cliff outside the dog cave, I saw the fat monk leaning half against the mountain wall, looking leisurely and contented. At this time, his broad ears twitched.

"coming!"

The fat monk said he was coming, stood up and untied the rope from his waist, knotted it casually and waved it away.

The rope soared in the air, shining with golden light. Just waiting for the black dog to rush out of the hole, it was set on the black dog and rushed out with the black dog.

Looking at this black dog, it ran straight towards the direction of the Great Emperor's Palace.

The fat monk nodded with a smile, clasped his hands together, and said:

"Amitabha, venerable sir, the only way this poor monk can help you is in this last journey. Even if the karma I owe you has been paid off, it depends on you whether you can survive the calamity next.

, it’s so good, it’s so good.”

After the fat monk said this, the Buddha's light suddenly shone on his body.

It turned into a golden lotus of merit and slowly flew up until it disappeared into the air.

"One step, two steps, three steps..."

Above the Youshan Palace, a bluestone path leads directly to the top of the mountain. However, this path is not accessible to ordinary people. Every step is like a cold knife coming to pick out the flesh and scrape the bones.

It is said that it is extremely cold at high places. How can it be possible for ordinary people to reach the top of this secluded mountain, overlooking the pinnacle of the underworld?

In the vast white snow, Xu Tong's eyelids were constantly trembling, and his strong willpower supported him to continue going up. However, his feet had been standing there for a long time without moving at all.

It's like a person who is extremely sleepy and still working. He has already coded thousands of words in his mind, but in fact he has fallen asleep on the keyboard.

It wasn't until his mind suddenly shook that he realized that he had been standing there for a long time.

Seeing that his feet were rotten by the cold, Xu Tong tried to bite the tip of his tongue and rely on the stinging pain to lift his legs. However, he only slightly raised one foot and placed it on the stone steps in front of him, but he stopped.

I don't have the strength to push up.

"Is it the limit?"

Xu Tong's eyes showed unwillingness.

If his physical strength was not suppressed by the Forbidden Palace, maybe he would still have a chance.

Thinking of this, Xu Tong felt helpless for a moment.

It seems that after becoming a player, he has not experienced this feeling of powerlessness for a long, long time.

"call……"

A cold wind came, blowing his body, as if there were palms trying to push him down from here.

No matter Xu Tong tried to struggle, his weak body could no longer hold on.

He could only watch helplessly as he swayed from side to side in the strong wind until his body rose up and fell backwards.

"Woof!"

I don't know if it was an hallucination, but I heard a barking sound in my ears.

Just when Xu Tong was closing his eyes and waiting for death, a black shadow suddenly jumped past him. The speed was so fast that Xu Tong could not see clearly what it was, but immediately after, he felt a tightness in his waist.

It was as if something was wrapped around his waist.

It was like a life-saving straw. Xu Tong didn't care what the life-saving straw was, and immediately grabbed it with his hand subconsciously.

"Huhuhu..."

Suddenly, a huge force of inertia struck from the rope in his hand, which dazzled him as he was lifted up into the air and dragged directly to the top of the mountain...
