2299 Hell Hound
The falling momentum of the Martial Dao Prime Body did not decrease the entire time, as though they were just going to continue falling.
Beneath them seemed like a bottomless abyss that could devour everything!
The Martial Dao Prime Body could no longer calculate the height the two of them fell after entering the Hell's Gate.
After a long time, the two of them and the wolf seemed to have passed through a barrier that was like water and suddenly entered another space!
The space was sinister and filled with a thick black fog.
After the Martial Dao Prime Body entered this place, he realized that his Essence Spirit and Essence Qi were suppressed by an invisible force and could not be activated!
The range of spirit consciousness detection was limited and visibility was extremely low!
"We're here! This is Avici!"
Heavenly Wolf's trembling voice sounded inaudibly, as though he was afraid of waking up some terrifying existence in Avici!
Upon entering this place, even simple Dharmic arts such as voice transmission with spirit consciousness could not be released.
"The surrounding black fog is the Avici fiend qi!"
One of the palms of the Martial Dao Prime Body supported Heavenly Wolf the entire time. He could sense that Heavenly Wolf's body was trembling—Heavenly Wolf was truly afraid!
The Martial Dao Prime Body tried his best to stabilize himself. After a while, he finally landed on the ground and felt his feet touch the ground.
The surroundings were extremely quiet and sinister.
The Martial Dao Prime Body focused his gaze and two balls of flames appeared in his eyes, allowing his vision to expand as much as possible.
He still could not see anything.
The Martial Dao Prime Body could only see the dark ground beneath his feet and the pitch-black rocks around him. Some of the rocks were even stained with blood.
The malevolent ghosts of Hell did not seem to have appeared.
"How should we proceed?"
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked softly.
"I don't know either."
Heavenly Wolf's face was pale as he shook his head. "This place is different from what I remember."
"This way."
The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered for a moment and chose a random direction. He led the way and Heavenly Wolf followed closely behind, looking around tensely.
Yan Beichen was still sprawled on his back in an unconscious state.
Everything around him was unknown and the Martial Dao Prime Body did not dare to walk too quickly.
After dozens of kilometers or so, the surroundings were silent. Apart from the footsteps of the Martial Dao Prime Body and Heavenly Wolf, there was no other sound.
Along the way, the Martial Dao Prime Body saw many corpses in Avici. However, most of them were already died up and could turn into ashes with a gentle touch.
Even the storage bags beside the corpses were rotten and the Dharmic treasures and divine weapons within had turned into dust.
He even passed by a pool of blood that had existed for a long time but had yet to dry up!
The Martial Dao Prime Body did not dare to approach.
The pool of blood contained an extremely terrifying power!
After walking for dozens of miles, the Martial Dao Prime Body suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around, looking over.
Heavenly Wolf was shocked and stopped hurriedly as well.
"What's going on?"
He asked softly.
"There was an additional sound of footsteps earlier on."
The Martial Dao Prime Body said slowly.
"You mean to say…"
Heavenly Wolf had a horrified expression.
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, "There's something behind us!"
Psst!
Heavenly Wolf bared his teeth and gasped. His fur stood on end and his entire body expanded.
The Martial Dao Prime Body could only see a thick black fog and nothing else.
After taking a deep breath, the Martial Dao Prime Body continued forward.
This time round, the footsteps behind them did not appear again.
About an hour later, a strange sound echoed from the black fog on the left!
Crack!
It was a crisp sound as though bones were being crushed!
The Martial Dao Prime Body looked over with a grim expression.
Suddenly, a scarlet spot of light appeared from the black fog and floated over slowly like a strange lantern.
The lantern gradually approached.
Heavenly Wolf was on guard and his eyes widened.
At that moment, he calmed down instead.
After all, he was once the Seven Emotions Fiend King in his previous life and had experienced too much bloodshed and countless dangerous forbidden grounds. At such a juncture, panicking would only lead to death!
Before long, the outline of a massive body gradually appeared and walked out of the black fog.
It was a vicious dog that looked to be more than 30 feet tall. Its body was mangled and ribs protruded from one side of its body!
There was only half of the Hell Hound's head and its only eye was filled with endless killing intent. It bared its sharp fangs and drooled with sticky saliva.
Even at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley in Tianhuang Mainland, malevolent ghosts with flesh and blood had appeared.
The Martial Dao Prime Body was not surprised that such a ferocious living being could be born in Avici of the upper world!
"Roar!"
The Hell Hound glared at the Martial Dao Prime Body for a while. As though it could not figure the latter out, it growled and lunged towards Heavenly Wolf.
Heavenly Wolf was fearless and dodged the attack of the Hell Hound in a flash. Suddenly, he turned around and bit the Hell Hound's neck, swinging it violently!
Crack!
The neck of the Hell Hound was snapped by Heavenly Wolf and half of its head slumped weakly.
Heavenly Wolf spat and pouted. "B*stard, how dare you provoke me with such mere capabilities."
He turned around and was about to leave when the Hell Hound whose neck was bitten off stood up strangely. It lowered its head and glared at Heavenly Wolf with its single eye, the blood glint in its eyes turning brighter!
The moment Heavenly Wolf turned around, the Hell Hound stood up and lunged forward, launching a fatal attack!
By the time Heavenly Wolf realized the danger, it was already too late.
A purple figure flashed.
The Martial Dao Prime Body was even faster. Arriving behind Heavenly Wolf, he reached out with both hands and grabbed the front claws of the Hell Hound, tearing them apart!
Shing!
A jarring sound sounded as the Hell Hound was ripped into two by the Martial Dao Prime Body and fresh blood flowed.
Even so, the Hell Hound was not completely dead!
Half of its body squirmed slightly on the ground. However, it was no longer possible for it to stand up and attack.
Living beings that were derived from malevolent ghosts did not have consciousnesses or Essence Spirits.
The only way to kill them completely was to burn them to ashes!
"You've never seen such Hell Hounds before?"
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked with a frown.
From Heavenly Wolf's performance earlier on, it seemed like he had no experience fighting against such a Hell Hound.
Heavenly Wolf shook his head. "I've never seen them before. After my old master and I fell in, he recuperated on the spot. Before long, countless malevolent ghosts swarmed over endlessly."
"My old master was severely injured and could not defend against the attacks of the swarm. That was the reason why he died in the end."
The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered for a moment. "As you said, Avici is vast and boundless. It's only logical for us to encounter different living beings of Hell."
"Thankfully, this Hell Hound is not strong and is not much of a threat to us."
Heavenly Wolf shook his head gently. "This Hell Hound is indeed very weak. However, there must be malevolent ghosts that are much stronger than it in Avici!"
"If those malevolent ghosts awaken, we won't be able to defend at all!"
"The only way to survive is to find my old master's corpse as soon as possible and think of a way to leave this place."
