Chapter 62.3

Something strange flashed in Shen Yuan’s eyes, he blinked and asked Xiao Tangqiu, “Did I think of something?”

Xiao Tangqiu, “…Did you remember anything?”

Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Tangqiu and asked, “Should I remember something?”

Xiao Tangqiu forced out a smile, “Nothing, I misunderstood.”

Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Tangqiu silently and suddenly said, “Jiujiu should also pay more attention to me and don’t keep making eyes at that guy.”

…That guy? Xiao Tangqiu watched Shen Yuan silently and pointed at Tang Mianmian, “That’s not making eyes at, it’s just normal communicating through eye contact.”

Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Tangqiu with dark eyes, “Then Jiujiu can communicate with my eyes instead.”

Xiao Tangqiu looked at Shen Yuan for a few seconds and quickly looked away in silence, his heart inexplicably having a jolt.

He regretted it as soon as he looked away… Damn, would Shen Yuan feel awkward now?

Fortunately, at this moment, Duan Hongzhen suddenly gave a loud whisper, “We’re at the peak!”

Everyone looked up. Sure enough, a huge full moon hung not far away with nothing blocking it.

They had reached the top of the hill.

For some reason, the huge bright moon that hung above the peak was far scarier than the pitch-black night. The moonlight should give people the feeling of quiet gentleness, but, perhaps because it was huge to the extent of strange, it felt dangerous.

There were only the man and the old woman at the top of the hill under the moonlight. After the man put the old woman down, he hesitated for a long time, not wanting to leave.

The old lady smiled, “Taro, you should go. It’s time to go home.”

The man hesitated for a long time and finally turned and left under the old lady’s urging eyes. His steps were heavy and uneven as he went down the hill.

The old lady watched the man leave. It wasn’t until the man’s back completely disappeared from her sight that she dropped the smile on her face, her expression becoming calm and stiff.

She began to calmly wait for death to come.

Tang Mianmian who was hiding behind the grass couldn’t help but ask Xiao Tangqiu, “What should we do next? Just watch her be bitten to death by wolves?”

Xiao Tangqiu sighed, “Even if we save her again, I’m afraid she will still do it… because this is the” belief “in her heart. Simply saving her is probably useless.”

Tang Mianmian frowned, “Are we supposed to prove to her that the mountain god does not exist?”

Just as the two of them were looking at each other, a wolf’s howl suddenly sounded from nearby!

Dammit! The wolf was coming!

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart thudded in fear and he saw a black wolf suddenly jump down from the tree and landed directly in front of the old lady!

Even though the old lady was ready to dedicate herself to the mountain god, she still screamed and fainted when she saw such a terrible giant wolf.

Wait! Wrong! There seemed to be something wrong!

Xiao Tangqiu let out a yell, “That’s not a wolf!”

This black wolf was much bigger than an ordinary wolf and it was not the wolf that killed Junko that day! It’s wrong! This monster was not a wolf at all! Not only did it have five big tails raised towards the sky, but it also had a human face! And it’s more like a dog than a wolf!

This was a monster with a human face!

The others naturally also saw this. Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows and rushed forward. Xiao Tangqiu hesitated for a moment but also followed, one hand pulling Tang Mianmian and the other pulling Shen Yuan along.

Because of their sudden appearance, the human-faced dog monster was forced to stop attacking the old lady. It roared in rage, demonstratively shaking five big tails at them.

“Fuck! What kind of monster is this!” Tang Mianmian shouted in shock, “Not only are there five tails, it even has a human face! Isn’t it only foxes that have so many tails!”

Xiao Tangqiu forced himself to calm down, “It seems that there really is a dog monster with a human face in the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade…”

“What is it, what is it!” Tang Mianmian couldn’t wait to ask.

Xiao Tangqiu tried hard to recall, “Peng Hou, it’s originally from In Search of the Supernatural. It’s a monster with a human’s face and a dog’s body, grown from ancient trees, and its five tails each have one of the five powers of wind, water, fire, thunder and earth…”

Tang Mianmian, “…Fuck! It’s too strange!”

Just after Xiao Tangqiu spoke, Duan Hongzhen launched an attack on the human-faced dog monster. He moved his fingers and a small knife was immediately shot right towards the center of the monster’s head!

However, the monster was unscathed. It was completely enraged by Duan Hongzhen.

“Roar!” It roared angrily, fanning one of its tails furiously. A gust of wind instantly rose!

Seeing the violent wind rushing towards him, Duan Hongzhen and the others quickly avoided it. Xiao Tangqiu was quickly pulled aside under Shen Yuan’s sharp eyes and quick reflexes. Only Tang Mianmian was unable to dodge and was immediately flipped around for several meters before being stopped by a tree.

Tang Mianmian, “…Fuck! Why is it only me! Who! Couldn’t! Dodge!”

Xiao Tangqiu felt guilty for a moment and rushed to pull Tang Mianmian up. Meanwhile, Duan Hongzhen flung three small knives at the monster without hesitation.

The monster roared and dodged, swinging another tail and water rushed towards them.

Xiao Tangqiu was pulled away again by Shen Yuan. Tang Mianmian, who barely managed to get up, was hit again by the water.

He suddenly swallowed a big mouthful of water. Fortunately, the terrain was rugged and the water could not gather, quickly flowing away. But he was still choked up and coughed violently, “Cough! Why is it me again!”

Xiao Tangqiu felt even more guilty and wanted to make up for it. At this moment, Xue Junli also shot — he raised his hand with an assault rifle and fired at the monster!

Countless bullets hit the monster, making it scream and roll in pain.

But although it was in pain, there were no obvious wounds on it. Ordinary bullets obviously didn’t do anything to this kind of thick-skinned monster.

The monster rolled in place for a while and shook another tail in anger. A rush of flames rose into the sky, rushing towards Xiao Tangqiu and the others!

Xiao Tangqiu was quickly pulled away by Shen Yuan again, but this time he remembered to pull Tang Mianmian, too. The three of them lined up like pulling radishes. Tang Mianmian was finally saved from torture, but his clothes were still burned full of holes by the flying sparks.

“Owowowow! It’s hot! It’s hot!” Tang Mianmian looked down and noticed that sparks had landed on his clothes and were about to set him on fire. Fortunately, there was still some water on the ground and he rolled around on the spot.

Meanwhile, Xue Junli had replaced his weapon with a bazooka.

Boom!

The monster was blown up, the fur on his body disintegrated and it was beaten down for a few seconds. But it recovered again soon, roaring and waving his tail again!

Xue Junli had a heavy expression, even the bazooka was useless! This thing was too hardy and tough!

Xiao Tangqiu eyelid twitched, “I have a bad feeling… Tang Mianmian! Get up! Water…”

But Tang Mianmian’s response was too slow. The monster’s tail waved and a blue current instantly spread out!

“Fuck!” Tang Mianmian was like a fish that encountered a power grid in the water, instantly shocking his hair upright and passing out.

“…is conductive.” It was too late.

Seeing that four attacks had no effect, the monster was surprised and angry. It roared and shook its last tail!

After a moment, the sky went dark and the ground rolled!

The ground under their feet began to shake and several deep cracks appeared!

“This is its last ability? No!” Xiao Tangqiu frowned. “This is… this is an earthquake!” When the human-face dog monster used the power of all five tails at the same time, it could cause a huge earthquake!

Not just the top of the hill, the whole hill was shaking!

Under this violent shaking, the old lady and Tang Mianmian who were passed out were woken up. Tang Mianmian looked at the horror scene of the moving earth and his eyes once again rolled up. Xiao Tangqiu rushed up and pinched him with force!

The old lady shouted in excitement and terror after seeing the monster, “Mountain God! Mountain God! It is really a Mountain God! The Mountain God of the Holy Mountain! Bless my son! Bless Hundred Ghost Town! I am willing to stay here with you forever! ”

Xiao Tangqiu wore a chilling expression, “That’s not a mountain god at all! It’s a monster!”

But the old lady didn’t listen at all. She straightened her body desperately and ran towards the monster with all her strength. She didn’t stoop and limp, as if she was young again, “Mountain God! Mountain God!”

“Don’t go!”

But no one could stop her.

Just when the old lady was about to run in front of the monster, a person suddenly rushed out and blocked her way!

The old lady was shocked, “Taro?”

The person standing in front of her was her always cowardly and timid son. It turned out that after walking a while, he returned the same way and secretly hid nearby.

“Mother…” The man shook with his arms spread to block the old lady’s way, “Don’t go…”

“Taro! Go back! Go home!” The old woman screamed in anger.

The man shivered, “Mother…”

But the next second, his head was bitten off by the monster!

“–Roar!”

Blood splattered the old lady’s face. After a moment, she collapsed onto the ground, her expression frozen.

T/N: Sorry for the delayed post, some unexpected things happened in the family so we all got busy for a while. Also, there were some questions about the whole “80’s, 90’s” reference in the previous post. I’ve edited it and added in a more detailed T/N at the end of the previous chapter to explain the details.
