Chapter 1561: First Dead One

Sensing danger, Li Ang decisively stopped the erosion and hid silently into the deepest part of the Mountain-Patrolling Woman's Heart Lake. The Masters of the Dead Realm also arrived at the source of the silver-white frozen river one after another.

"Almost there."

Squinting at the glacier upstream of the frozen river, the Faceless Person turned his head back to the Mountain-Patrolling Woman:

"You go over and eat a piece first, freeze the Food God in your Heart Lake, and then we will talk about the next thing."

"Good."

Seeming to have known that this would happen, the Mountain-Patrolling Woman's face did not reveal a look of surprise, but stepped on the dark ice edges on the silver-white frozen river and rushed toward the huge pitch-black glacier in the distance.

And after truly arriving under the glacier, in Li Ang's vigilant gaze, this mount he had just collected a few days ago actually dug down a piece of pitch-black... from the glacier with her bare hands.

No! Not black!

After taking the risk to reveal his face and taking a short look at the ice block in the Mountain-Patrolling Woman's hand, Li Ang's scalp couldn't help but feel a slight numbness.

The ice block that the Mountain-Patrolling Woman dug down from the glacier was actually not black, but a very deep and dark red! A kind of dark and decaying blood red!

What made Li Ang instinctively feel bad was that the ice block in the Mountain-Patrolling Woman's hand seemed to emit more than just "cold" intent.

The cold that was enough to freeze the entire Heart Lake was actually just the appearance revealed by this aura. The true face of these ice blocks was a strange existence closer to the essence of "death," representing "end" and "silence," like a "blood-smelling" aura emitted by death itself.

And after the Mountain-Patrolling Woman bit off a corner of the blood-colored black ice and swallowed it with extreme difficulty, Li Ang, who was forced to "taste" a bit together, couldn't help but have a incomparably strange thought in his heart.

If "death" itself would bleed... then that would probably be the taste.

"Hiss..."

After shivering uncontrollably, the Mountain-Patrolling Woman, whose blood color had completely faded from her face and whose lips were frozen blue, looking even more "dead" than a dead person, first tried hard to feel her own Heart Lake, and then finally revealed a difficult smile.

"Frozen... d-d-d-frozen! He h-h-he has no movement anymore!"

"Phew..." xn

Looking at the look of relief on the Mountain-Patrolling Woman's face, the expressions of the Masters of the Dead Realm who arrived at the source of the "frozen" river couldn't help but relax slightly.

Nothing else, the "pressure" the Food God brought to everyone in the past period of time was indeed a bit terrifying.

Not to mention the Guardian Death Dog who was brutally killed in the Gate of the Dead and is still queuing for resurrection, just the commotion that overturned half of the Dead Realm two days ago was enough to make all the Masters of the Dead Realm feel fearful.

Facing the Food God's premeditated sneak attack, the Flesh-Fleshed Doe, who was the strongest in the first half of the Road of No Return, was beaten to explosion on the spot in just one encounter. If it weren't for the Mountain-Patrolling Woman pulling it in time, it would already be keeping the Guardian Death Dog company now.

And the Mountain-Patrolling Woman, who firmly ranked in the top three among the Masters of the Dead Realm, was also beaten to full-body cracks, not only did Zhanhuai Mountain collapse by half, but her own Heart Lake was also eroded, almost becoming a puppet driven by the other party.

Regarding this, it can only be said that it is fortunate that there were three Masters of the Dead Realm at Zhanhuai Mountain at that time.

If there hadn't been the Faceless Person weakening from the side and forcibly dragging the Food God down from the Pillar God level, just relying on the Mountain-Patrolling Woman and the Flesh-Fleshed Doe would definitely have been in dire straits. It is estimated that before they could start a war with the Bureau, the 14 Masters of the Dead Realm would have to reduce their staff by three or more in one breath.

Therefore, even knowing that this was only a quarter of the Food God's soul, and that he was hiding in the Mountain-Patrolling Woman's Heart Lake and dared not come out, as long as they thought of the opponent's terrifying battle achievements, a layer of shadow would unconsciously cover the hearts of all the Masters of the Dead Realm.

And now that the Mountain-Patrolling Woman ate 【Dead Man's Blood】 and relied on death to freeze the Food God, it could be considered that the Li Ang who was pressing on their heads was temporarily driven away, making the Masters of the Dead Realm, whose hearts were heavy, feel slightly better.

"Since the problem of the Food God has been temporarily solved, let's talk about the main business."

Staring at the Mountain-Patrolling Woman and confirming that her Heart Lake was indeed as silent as if she were dead, the Faceless Person finally set his mind at ease, and then opened his mouth with a solemn expression:

"Regarding the plan to ambush the Bureau at the Sage Cemetery that was decided before, do you have any thoughts?"

"..."

"How about this, I will ask more directly." After looking at the Masters of the Dead Realm whose expressions were different but none of whom opened their mouths, the Faceless Person couldn't help but sigh:

"Do you still have the courage to participate in the ambush now?"

"..."

"..."

"This is not a question of courage, but the risk is a bit too big."

Facing the Faceless Person's rather unceremonious questioning, the Masters of the Dead Realm stood out after being silent for a while. The Death-Workshop Master, covered in corpse bands and blood hair, opened his mouth with a hesitant expression:

"If we really ambush the Bureau and kill two or three directors, then there will be no room for negotiation between us and the Bureau.

And everyone saw what happened two days ago. The Food God only came with a quarter of his soul and caused such a commotion. If we completely fall out with the Bureau, and then fail to capture the Food God, and let him run away..."

Then there will probably be no peace from now on.

Although the Death-Workshop Master didn't finish his words, everyone present, the Masters of the Dead Realm, understood his meaning.

Judging from the ability the Food God showed in the commotion two days ago, as long as they didn't capture him and let him run away with even a soul fragment, he could repeat the disaster before and randomly kill a few of the masters present.

No one is wrong, one is sent, one is inside, one is content, one is looking!

And if the Food God ran away completely, or if his true body didn't come at all, then there would be a terrifying existence three times stronger than before, thinking about coming to the Dead Realm to kill a big one all the time. Who can stand this?

"But but but... but we have to fight!"

After carefully spitting out a little bit of ice dregs of 【Dead Man's Blood】, the Mountain-Patrolling Woman, who was trembling all over, shouted, and then gritted her teeth:

"I have fought the Food God head-on! I... I saw it clearly! When he faced us, those eyes were like he was looking at dead people!

Bah! Listen to me! There is no way the Food God could ever tolerate us; he wouldn't even accept a surrender! I knew it the moment I saw him—he definitely wants to destroy the entire Dead Realm! There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation!"

After spitting out all the ice shards in her mouth, the Mountain Patrol Woman's voice slowly stopped trembling. She said, her eyes filled with wariness:

"You can ask the Faceless One and the incarnated hind; they were both there at the time. Ask them if they felt the same way!"

Upon hearing this, the gathered Dead Realm Sovereigns felt their hearts tighten. Once the Faceless One and the incarnated hind nodded in succession, even the Death Workshop Master, who had been the first to stand up in opposition, fell silent.

So, it really is a fight to the death with the Cleanup Bureau then... but...

"Can we win?"

After blinking the two crow eyes on her left and right temples, Granny Crow-Eye frowned deeply and said:

"Even if we can open the 【Frozen Coffin River】, the directors of the Cleanup Bureau all have the protection of the Star Palace, and they have many ways to save their lives. Can the 【Frozen Coffin River】 really keep the directors who come to negotiate?"

"What is the Frozen Coffin River?"

"The Frozen Coffin River is..."

After subconsciously answering half the sentence, Granny Crow-Eye suddenly realized what was happening. She snapped her neck around with a 'Crack!' and looked at the Mountain Patrol Woman's chest as if she had seen a ghost... The Food God was poking his head out from there, looking at her with a curious expression, seemingly still waiting for her answer.

"You weren't frozen?!?!?!!!"
