Chapter 524: 524
Listening to the extrely fierce barking, Qin Sisi furrowed her brows and said, "The dogs on this mountain seem to be very ferocious."
Ye You hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, saying, "Why else would it be called Evil Dog Ridge?"
"Then we..." Qin Sisi anxiously looked at Ye You.
Ye You wrapped an arm around her shoulder, gently reassuring her, "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of safety, you’re in charge of finding the person."
Qin Sisi hesitated and said, "But I don’t know Han Zhikun."
"Look closely." Ye You raised his palm, slowly drew a circle in front of them, and then a blue light shone from his palm on the circle, displaying the image of a man.
"That’s him, rember." Ye You reminded Qin Sisi in a low voice.
Qin Sisi nodded, carefully observing the image in the circle, a slightly thin man dressed in a doctor’s white coat.
This was the mory Ye You had extracted from a nurse about Han Zhikun. As a common coworker, the nurse’s impression was only Han Zhikun in his work attire.
Han Zhikun’s facial features were quite ordinary without any noticeable characteristics, his eyes were not large, he wore black-rimd glasses, and he had a scholarly air.
Overall, this man seed sowhat listless, as if his spirits were low.
Perhaps it was due to his quiet personality, Qin Sisi thought as she turned to Ye You and said, "Okay, I’ve morized it. Also, according to Liu Ying, she killed Han Zhikun at ho after dinner, so I think Han Zhikun was probably wearing casual ho clothes or just his underwear."
An appreciative flicker appeared in Ye You’s eyes, he smiled slightly and said, "You’re very careful. Keep an eye out for souls dressed in those two types of outfits."
"Alright," Qin Sisi responded, her voice soft but determined.
Ye You held Qin Sisi’s slender waist and dashed with her up the steep path of Evil Dog Ridge. Occasionally, they would also see other souls venturing on the journey.
Once they started climbing the mountain, Qin Sisi realized that Evil Dog Ridge really lived up its na. Packs of ferocious dogs guarded the sides of the path, their eyes full of malice, their rigid steel-like teeth were spine-chilling, the fur around their necks stood up like steel wires, and they pounced as soon as they saw a passing soul, launching themselves to tear ferociously with open jaws.
The other passing souls were terrified, wanting to move faster to escape these attacking dogs, but the steep path made it impossible.
Qin Sisi watched helplessly as nurous souls were seized by the dogs’ steel teeth, so had their arms severed, so were dragged by the legs, so even lost an entire leg, the crying and shouting were endless.
Unable to bear it, Qin Sisi complained, "They’re already dead, why do they have to endure this torture?"
In a low voice, Ye You explained, "Every place has its own survival rules. Only by going through these hardships do they qualify for better treatnt."
Qin Sisi knew Ye You was telling the truth, and they indeed had no right to interfere with the basic order of the underworld, they could only deliberately avoid those grueso scenes.
Ye You held Qin Sisi in his arms, kicking away the vicious dogs trying to pounce on them with his legs.
Ye You’s strength was much greater than the ordinary souls, his kicks were heavy, the shrilling yelps of the dogs echoed constantly. However, these dogs seed fearless, they continued to pounce even after struggling to get up from the kicks.
Qin Sisi believed in Ye You, but she couldn’t help but feel scared in her heart. She anxiously suggested, "Can’t we use the Divine Dog’s Fury to drive all of them back?"
Ye You shook his head and said, "The power of the Divine Dog’s Fury is too great, it will kill them all. We are just passing by, there is no need to make such a big commotion."
Qin Sisi understood what Ye You ant, so she stopped talking, only hugging Ye You tightly around the waist, resting her chin on his shoulder, and scanning with her eyes in search of Han Zhikun’s spirit.
However, as they walked down Evil Dog Ridge, Ye You had kicked away countless malicious dogs that tried to attack them, but Qin Sisi found no trace of Han Zhikun.
The two spent so ti resting in a relatively flat and quiet area at the foot of the mountain. anwhile, Qin Sisi felt sowhat disappointed and anxious.
Ye You held her hand and said, "Don’t worry, the seven days aren’t over yet. Han Zhikun must still be on his way, we will surely find him."
The next checkpoint was Golden Rooster Terrain. At first glance of the na, Qin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking chickens are generally dosticated animals with no attacking power.
However, the reality quickly subverted her perception. The Golden Rooster Terrain, just like Evil Dog Ridge, had steep mountain roads. Large roosters in groups fluttered their wings and charged towards the spirits passing by. Their beaks curved slightly, sharp as iron hooks, aiming for the eyes of the spirits.
When the spirits raised their arms in defense, they took advantage of the opportunity. Their claws, like indestructible diamond talons, ripped the spirits’ chests open, making their innards spill out.
The sight made Qin Sisi’s stomach churn, she shivered and held Ye You even tighter.
Ye You also held Qin Sisi tightly. Feeling her softness and dependency made him shiver slightly. However, he knew he must not get distracted. He needed to get past the current hurdle first.
Ye You steadied his mind. He was more careful now than when he was on Evil Dog Ridge. They dodged left, and right, quickly moving about and waiting for the right monts to kick away one rooster after another.
A few particularly ferocious roosters charged recklessly. While Ye You was in the middle of a kick, they pecked at his leg.
Ye You quickly retracted his leg, and the hard, curved beaks hit his boots.
If it were any ordinary spirit, the leg would probably have been mangled by now.
However, Ye You’s boots were made from the hide of the rhinoceros living deep in the Snowy Highland of the Demon Sacred Realm. They were extrely sturdy and resistant to attacks. The roosters’ iron beaks and sharp claws couldn’t damage his boots at all.
In the end, Ye You and Qin Sisi safely exited the Golden Rooster Terrain without much risk. Unfortunately, they still hadn’t found Han Zhikun’s spirit.
As they finally landed on the open ground at the foot of Golden Rooster Terrain and started to relax, Lan Di leisurely approached them from the flat plain below the hillside.
A fierce ghost imperial of the mountain guardian who was wielding a weapon blocked Lan Di’s path. Lan Di smiled, pulled out a stack of joss paper from his pocket, and stuffed it into the ghost imperial’s hands. The ghost imperial’s ferocious expression quickly turned gentle and he imdiately made way for Lan Di.
Qin Sisi watched in astonishnt, exchanging a look with Ye You, both of them found the situation quite amusing.
Money can make the ghost grind the mill, the ancients did not lie to .
Had they known this they would have brought so money along.
Qin Sisi mumbled to herself, but quickly realized, no, they were here to find soone. Regardless of whether they had money, they still had to go through Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Terrain themselves.
