Chapter 247 The Three-Headed Dog of Hell and the God of Death
The monster that appeared in front of him was no different from the "three-headed hell dog" that Luo He remembered guarding the underworld.
On the huge dark body, there were three vicious dog heads, and their huge mouths were opened ferociously, with blazing fire surging from their mouths.
Luo He swallowed nervously and saw the three-headed hell dog walking straight towards him. The scorching wave of air hit his face, and his body unconsciously became stiff under the huge pressure.
In desperation, Luo He tried to use Bai Zetu to detect the strength of the three-headed hell dog.
[Name: Three-Headed Dog of Hell]
[Attribute: Fire, Dark]
[Growth level:??]
[Race level:??]
[Explanation: The hellhound that guards the entrance to the spirit world wanders at the boundary of the spirit world. It not only prevents humans from entering the spirit world, but also prevents evil spirits from escaping from the spirit world. 】
[Weaknesses: The three-headed hell dog likes sweets and music. It will fall asleep when it hears its favorite melody. Its favorite food is 'honey biscuits'. 】
Honey biscuits, simply put, are sweet biscuits made of honey and flour.
In the legends related to the three-headed hell dog, it is always recorded that it likes to eat honey cakes, and it often forgets its duty as a gatekeeper due to greed.
In some countries, whenever a human being is buried, the family will place a piece of honey cake next to the body in order to please the three-headed hell dog.
The three heads of the hell dog will bite into a ball as they compete for food.
See the ‘coping method’ given by Bai Zetu.
Luo He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be a gluttonous dog... That would be easy to handle!
Boom——
Following the sound of heavy footsteps, the three-headed hell dog stopped and stared at Luo He coldly.
A huge shadow was cast on Luo He's face. Looking up, he could see the penetrating gazes cast by the three heads.
"Woof!"
The heroic dog guarded Luo He in front of him, crouching and baring his teeth viciously.
The three-headed hell dog looked at the heroic dog with interest, with humanized mockery in its eyes.
The next moment, the three-headed hell dog opened its bloody mouth, and the terrifying aura suddenly spread, which was terrifying.
The war was about to break out, Luo He took out a box of "Royal Jelly Macarons" without panic.
Fish: Σ(°Д°;
Isn’t this my favorite dessert?
Opening the lid of the box, the colorful round cakes exuded the fragrance of cake and the sweetness of honey, attracting the attention of the three-headed hell dog.
The one in the middle had the calmest head and looked at Luo He with some suspicion.
The two heads on the left and right, smelling the aroma of honey cakes, slightly widened their eyes.
Luo He saw this and became more and more certain that this guy was a foodie. He slowly placed a box of honey cakes on the ground, stepped back and said:
"It's our first time meeting you. I brought you some gifts, so you don't have to be polite to me!"
No matter how you think about it, there is no way that there is a cake dessert like ‘macaron’ in the spiritual world, let alone Luo He’s secret cookie.
The head of the three-headed hell dog in the middle, with a majestic face, still stared at Luo He coldly, unmoved.
The head on the left side was secretly swallowing saliva; the head on the right side was silently casting an affirmative glance at Luo He.
Luo He knew that using delicious food to fool hell's guard dogs would work, so he cleared his throat:
"This is just an appetizer. If you don't mind, I can make you freshly baked honey cakes on the spot - it will be even more delicious than these!"
The corners of the mouth of the head in the center were slightly grinned, evoking a sinister arc.
As if to say, do you think you can fool me?
However.
The head on the left side took the initiative to reach towards the box of royal jelly macarons, causing the three-headed hell dog's entire body to stumble.
"roar!?"
The center head of the three-headed hellhound glares angrily at the left head.
Boy, what's going on?
"Aww!"
Unexpectedly, the right head was buried directly in the honey cake box and devoured it!
The other two heads were dumbfounded, showing the wisdom of a husky.
Luo He smiled dumbly.
The Cerberus looks ferocious.
But based on his current performance, he is probably also a comedian!
In just a short moment, the head on the right side had already wiped out most of the royal jelly macarons.
The more he ate, the bigger his eyes became, and the more he ate, the more energetic he became, even to the point of eating in a hurry, moving his whole body towards the cookie box.
The leader's head said angrily: "Roar!" (What's wrong with you!)
The head on the left side is equally irritable: "Roar!" (That is, leave some for me!)
In front of Luo He, the three heads of the three-headed hell dog started biting each other.
During the fight, a piece of flying honey cake happened to land in the leader's head and mouth.
The three-headed hell dog was startled slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled, as if he was recalling the taste just now.
Immediately, it shivered all over, and a look of surprise appeared in its eyes.
Is there such a delicious honey cake in this world?!
"Roar!!" (Start!!)
The leader's head was the most powerful, easily knocking away the competing heads on the left and right, and swallowed the rest of the honey cake in one gulp.
Under the complaining eyes of the other two heads, the three-headed hell dog froze on the spot. The flame in its mouth seemed to have forgotten to burn, and after it was extinguished, a wisp of light smoke floated up.
For a moment, the three-headed hell dog seemed to have returned to its youth.
At that time, it was carefree and had not shouldered the responsibility of guarding the door. It could always eat the cookies it loved...
However, no matter how delicious those honey cakes are, they cannot compare with the greeting gift brought by this human being!
The three-headed hell dog put away its threatening posture and licked the residue in the box, its eyes flashing slightly.
Luo He looked up at the gray sky in the spiritual world.
Why does the three-headed hellhound often have tears in its eyes?
Because it loves honey cake deeply!
"I have another box here."
Luo He handed all the remaining royal jelly macarons to the three-headed hell dog and said:
"No need to fight, everyone... I mean, every head has a share!"
The next moment, the light flickered.
Luo He summoned the stove, steam oven, rolling pin and other kitchen utensils, and prepared to use them as he liked to make a pastry that the three-headed dog would definitely like.
Xiangshan honey cake.
Honey cake, also known as Xiangshan cake, is made of honey, wheat flour and sesame oil. Simply put, Xiangshan honey cake is the predecessor of all honey cakes in later generations.
Xiangshan Honey Cake is said to have been created by Bai Juyi, nicknamed "Xiangshan Jushi". It was once as famous as Dongpo Pork and Yuanxiu Cuisine, and has become a traditional snack that has been passed down to this day.
Xiangshan honey cake is golden in color, crispy in texture, with the sweetness of honey and the crispy aroma of sesame oil.
Luo He did not use an oven and chose manual temperature control to ensure the details of every step, which is the so-called "ancient secret recipe".
The three-headed hell dog looked at Luo He who started cooking grandly, and was dumbfounded for a moment.
In the dark spiritual world, there is a strange scene of baking in a fire and steaming in a boiler.
However, even the three-headed hell dog, the guardian of the spiritual world, did not step forward to stop Luo He.
The warm stove fire seemed to bring a hint of fireworks to the dark spiritual world.
Time passes.
Luo He opened the steamer lid, and white smoke floated into the sky.
Among them, the Xiangshan honey cake shines with golden brilliance!
"Roar..." The three-headed hell dog took a half-step back in shock and confusion.
"Don't panic."
Luo He said calmly: "I added golden dragon oil to it."
The dough cake is brushed with golden dragon oil and grilled over high heat. When it comes out of the oven, it emits an attractive crispy aroma, mixed with the sweet smell of royal jelly.
Just by smelling the fragrance, the three-headed hell dog stared straight in the eyes and swallowed saliva with all three heads.
"Please use."
Luo He brought three basins and said:
“Fragrant mountain honey cake!”
Staring at this crispy golden honey cake, the three heads were a little hesitant.
"Ugh?" (Boss, this doesn't seem to be the same as the honey cake we ate before?)
"Roar..." (I have never seen the tools he used...)
The middle head said impatiently: "Roar!" (What a fuss, you will know after you taste it!)
The eyes of the two heads on the left and right lit up and they nodded one after another.
The three heads all moved toward the golden honey cake on the plate, sniffed it cautiously, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
Luo He looked at the three-headed hell dog and saw this powerful and fierce gate-guarding hell dog sitting on the ground, chewing majestically.
suddenly.
The three heads looked at each other in unison, showing expressions of shock, confusion, and disbelief.
This honey cake...
It’s so delicious, ma’am!
The three-headed hell dog buried its three heads in the basin and devoured it!
Luo He smiled dumbly.
The changes in demeanor that can be called Yan Yi, coupled with the wise expression, these are simply three large huskies!
"Eat slowly, I'll bake a honey chicken..."
Next to the Styx River, smoke curled up from the cooking pots, and a roast chicken covered in sauce was placed on the fire.
The sizzling oil and water dripped into the fire, making a "squeaking" sound, and the skin was golden, making people salivate.
Luo He flipped the iron stick on which the reed chicken was strung in his hand and looked sideways. He saw a giant black three-headed dog squatting beside him, swallowing hard.
Although the head in the center has a arrogant expression, the constant glances still give it away.
Luo He smiled, threw the roast chicken directly to the head in the middle, and said: "You can eat it!"
The three heads widened their eyes at the same time, but they heard Luo He warn again:
"No grabbing, do you understand?"
The other two heads lay on the ground in disgust, looking at the boss enjoying the roast chicken with envious eyes.
However, Luo He quickly made a serving for them both, and the three heads were immediately happy.
Luo He could finally rest for a while and wiped his sweat:
"call……"
In the past, I could just ask the boss py to cook a dish.
When cooking for the three-headed dog from hell, you have to make three servings!
After eating and drinking enough, the three hellhounds lay on their sides by the River Styx, looking as if they were ready to take a nap.
Luo He hurriedly said:
"I would like to ask, do you know how to get out of here?"
The three-headed hell dog opened its eyes again and looked at Luo He doubtfully.
"I came to the spiritual world accidentally through a crack in the spiritual world."
Luo He explained: "If you can, please send me back to where I came from."
I don’t know whether the flow of time in the spiritual world and the earthly world is the same.
Luo He felt a little uneasy... Captain Li must have been extremely anxious when he witnessed my disappearance with his own eyes.
But falling into a rift in the spiritual world and escaping death, even the General Administration has no good solution.
If I go back late, I might be able to have my own meal...
The three-headed hell dog looked at Luo He and immediately uttered obscure ancient language.
Luo He could understand it, but he couldn't speak it. When translated, it roughly means——
"Every year, there are humans like you who accidentally come to the border of the spirit world."
The three-headed dog from hell said: "Their lifespan has not expired and they cannot enter the spiritual world. I was ordered to stop them at the gate of the spiritual world. But they cannot return to the earth and can only wander on the boundary between life and death."
Luo He's heart tightened and he said:
"You can't even send me back?"
The three-headed hell dog lowered his head angrily and looked at Luo He with some shame.
Immediately, the three-headed dog said don't worry, even if you can't return to the earthly world, you will still be walking sideways in the spirit world as long as I protect you!
"Come on, you can't even send me back." Luo He said.
The three-headed dog lowered its head.
Luo He sighed lightly.
Indeed, to be honest, the three-headed dog is nothing more than a gatekeeper.
If you want to return to the earthly world, you may have to find existences such as Hades and the God of Death.
It’s just... this sounds like a legendary existence. Will he really agree to my request?
"I remembered."
The three-headed dog of hell said: "Human beings like you, wandering beyond life and death, gathered into a community by the River Styx."
"Humans, community?" Luo He was surprised.
The three-headed dog explained that most of the humans who accidentally fall into the spirit world every year go to that community.
They used to call themselves the 'Ghost Village', but recently they changed their name to the 'Ghost Ax Village'. There were some strange movements in the village.
In the spiritual world where monsters and monsters live, there are actually villages where humans live.
Luo He was greatly surprised by the novelty and thought that since he couldn't go back for the time being, he might as well try his luck there.
"Can you take me there?" Luo He looked up at the three-headed dog.
The three-headed dog raised its head and said: "Roar!" (No problem, come up!)
Luo He climbed up on the back of the three-headed hell dog and found that Xiu had also climbed up and put his head in the middle of the three heads.
In short, the four-headed dog of hell!
Along the Styx River, Luo He rode the three-headed hell dog and headed towards the "Ghost Ax Village".
Along the way, Luo He kept making insinuations:
"If you think about it again, is there any other way to go back?"
The three-headed dog gritted its teeth and said: "Roar!" (If you really want to go back, you must get my Lord's permission!)
"Who is your master?" Luo He asked curiously.
The three-headed dog was about to reply when his pupils suddenly shrank to a point, as if he had seen an extremely frightening scene.
Its body was trembling continuously and it lowered its head deeply. In just a short moment, its dark hair was already wet with sweat!
Luo He was a little strange. Following its line of sight, he saw heavy fog covering the Styx River, covering the sky and the sun.
The undercurrent is turbulent, and the sound of large waves can be heard in the thick fog.
A strange and huge sailing ship slowly sailed out of the thick fog, its tattered sails like shrouds fluttering in the calm wind.
The entire ship was built from the nails of the deceased. This nail ship, shrouded in the aura of death, was like the gaze cast by the God of Death, docking quietly right in front of Luo He.
The three-headed hell dog bent down tremblingly, let out a whimper, as if it had made a mistake and was caught by its owner, and whispered for Luo He to get off his back.
Luo He followed the instructions and tried to observe the strange nail ship, his pupils contracted slightly.
On the deck, stood a figure wearing a black robe and a black hat. The oppressive feeling was suffocating, resembling the legendary God of Death.
Wait a minute.
Luo He looked down the black robe, feeling a little confused.
This god of death...why is he still wearing boots?
