Chapter 741

~8 min read 1,552 words

The Director's level of beastliness is truly as consistent as ever.

After smacking his lips in speechlessness, Leon tried hard to shake this unfriendly thought out of his mind, then began to search along the road for the Dog God knocked down by the Director, following the method Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma had taught him.

A comatose, three-headed puppy tied up by red hair...

A comatose, three-headed puppy tied up by red hair...

Heaven rewards the diligent; after Leon silently recited it a dozen times in his heart, a dog that basically met the criteria really did appear not far ahead, and as for why it was "basically"...

"Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma..."

Looking at the three dog heads soaking in the black-yellow swamp by the side of the road of no return, each two sizes larger than a round dining table, Leon could not help but say speechlessly:

"This dog's head alone is this big; if you pulled the whole thing out, it would be at least five or six meters long. This can't be considered a puppy anymore, right?"

"It is very large to us, but among the gods of the Dead World, it already has the smallest volume."

Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, on Leon's back, explained gently:

"In our world, the soul exists attached to the physical body, so the priority of the physical body is very high; if the body size is too huge, one's own flesh and blood cannot easily bear it.

Therefore, unless one encounters things like descending evil gods that can use alien rules to briefly erode the world's rules, it is very difficult to see things with too huge a body size on land."

"But the rules of the Dead World are different from ours; it does not acknowledge the existence of the physical body here, so as long as the soul can support it, the body size of Dead World creatures can be raised almost infinitely, even growing as large as a mountain range.

As for the Dog God responsible for guarding the gate of the Dead World, it spends most of its time outside the Dead World and is one of the few Dead World gods with a real physical body, so it is the one with the smallest main body among all the True Gods of the Dead World."

So that's how it is.

Thinking of the Dead World Overlord who ground his own bones into bone bricks and paved them all the way from the entrance of the Dead World to the deepest part, Leon could not help but nod in sudden realization.

Indeed, if that "First Dead One" did not have a sufficiently huge body size, he might not necessarily have had so many bones to grind into powder, but...

"How should we wake it up?"

After looking at the Dog God's fangs, which were longer than his own feet, Leon asked somewhat hesitantly:

"Should we shout loudly at it directly? Or reach out and pat it? Also, it's been knocked unconscious by the Director; will it still be willing to help us open the door?"

"It will help."

After looking at the three-headed Dog God soaking in the swamp by the road, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma said with a somewhat complicated expression:

"Olivia's reputation in the Dead World is relatively... relatively loud, and back then, for my sake, she came to the Dead World many times and also fought... she also communicated with the Dog God many times, so after it sees me, it will send us out.

As for how to wake it up, it's also very simple; the Dog God relies on its nose to distinguish the living from the dead and is very sensitive to the aura of the living, so you just need to blow a breath at its nose."

"Oh..."

Instantly understanding Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's high-EQ answer, Leon sighed at his Director's notoriety while cautiously walking off the road of no return, arriving at the edge of the swamp, and blew a fierce breath at the nose of the unconscious Dog God.

"Woof?!"

Even though the position where Leon was standing was still seventeen or eighteen meters away from where the three-headed dog had fallen in, after this breath containing the aura of the living was blown over, the twelve eyelids of the six eyes on the three dog heads still moved simultaneously.

"Alive!"

Accompanied by a still somewhat vague mutter, the pink dog nose closest to Leon, which was the size of a basketball, twitched violently, and the ears that had originally drooped on its forehead suddenly stood up, twitching slightly from side to side, searching for nearby sounds; the teeth, which were already somewhat protruding, bared out of its mouth in an extremely unfriendly manner.

"Daring to break into the Dead World, I will..."

"Angxi!"

After noticing this scene, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma on Leon's back straightened her body slightly, actively meeting the six huge dog eyes that were glaring over, and asked loudly:

"Do you see who I am?" "..."

After the six eyes, which were as large as hand-held lanterns and flickering with ghostly green phosphorus fire, stared at Auntie Auntie Ai Ma and examined her carefully for a while, the muscles on the awakened Dog God's cheeks twitched slightly, and then it said with an unkind expression:

"So it's you... you want to go to the 【City of Regret】 to see your family again? Didn't they say they refused to see you? How come you don't know what it means to give up?"

City of Regret?

After hearing the Dog God's opening remark, Leon's eyes could not help but narrow slightly.

If he remembered correctly, that was the place where those dead who had too strong regrets or remorse and refused to continue moving forward lived, and it was inhabited by a large number of dead who were unwilling to let go.

Only until they were forgotten by all the living, and no one remembered them anymore, or the people or things they regretted, felt remorse for, or hated during their lifetime had all vanished with time or death, would these dead leave the City of Regret and continue on the road of no return to the 【Cliff of the End】.

So... Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's clansmen, at least a portion of them, had not "completely" left, were still living in the City of Regret, and had always held a grudge against her?

"This has nothing to do with you..."

Seemingly stirred up by the Dog God's questioning, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's face turned slightly pale, and then she bit her lip and said:

"Help us open the door; we want to leave the Dead World now!"

"Fine, I'll open it for you! You damn cleaners always like to rely on the anomalous objects in your hands to break the rules and do things that break the boundaries between life and death!"

On the huge dog head, a look of disgust appeared in a rather human-like manner; the three-headed Dog God stared at Leon and the other, saying with full malice:

"I have remembered your scent! When you come in as the dead, I will definitely take a big bite out of both of you! Especially you!"

"..."

???

Looking at the three-headed Dog God glaring at him with a fierce face, Leon asked in astonishment:

"Me? This is my first time coming to the Dead World, right?"

"Heh, before you lie, do you want to ask this woman who I am first?"

After snorting forcefully and blowing out the black-yellow swamp mud from its nose, the three-headed Dog God said with a look of contempt:

"In terms of strength, I am the weakest among the True Gods of the Dead World, but in terms of the nose, no one can be stronger than me.

I can tell with one sniff that you must have come to the Dead World about three years ago, and recently you have almost entered the Dead World at least a hundred times, only to be run back by you using anomalous objects; am I right?"

"..."

Recently... that's indeed true; the number of times he had avoided death by relying on the sheep horn and sheep heart added up to more than a hundred.

But three years ago... wasn't that when I first "came"?

"Heh, nothing to say now?"

While Leon was frowning and thinking about the reason, the three-headed Dog God, who thought he had rendered him "speechless," smiled triumphantly, then suddenly opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar.

"Woof!"

Accompanied by the dull and powerful barking, the huge gate in the distance opened slightly, and Leon and the other seemed to have fallen into a black hole, disappearing instantly without any warning.

"Get lost quickly!"

After spitting three times in the direction where the two had left, the three-headed Dog God said with a look of displeasure:

"Damn Cleaning Bureau! Damn cleaners! And that damn red-haired woman! After she dies, I must... hmm? Anpu?"

After smelling a familiar scent, the three-headed Dog God turned its head in surprise and said to the Crocodile God who had crawled out from the swamp behind it:

"Why did you come? Didn't you always... uh... err..."
