Zongman, can you be immortal with me for the rest of your life?

"You consider yourself a coward. You mock those vampires who have the courage to die but cannot withstand torture. But you are also that kind of person, unworthy of the same heroic treatment and applause as those around you. You have been awakened many times at night by the phantom pain of your body being burned and pierced..."

In Kazuma's ears, the words became clearer and clearer, and the content seemed to come from his inner feelings, his suspicion, his anxiety, his softest parts, those things that he was aware of but avoided thinking about, appearing in his mind.

Kerry and Yujiro's expressions changed as they fought.

They all heard things they didn't want to hear.

"The strongest creature on earth is just a selfish and fragile old man. He accidentally killed a woman and has spent countless nights regretting it! Sometimes he longs for warmth like a child! But he can only watch cautiously and dare not touch!"

Yujiro's face was darker than ever before.

"Oh! Chris, you are a rare person in the world. You seem to be born without fear in your head, but you are also afraid. You are afraid of happiness. You think happiness will make you dull and no longer sharp. So, in front of friends who have already recognized you, you always keep silent.

You are afraid of losing your decisiveness and judgment, afraid that one day you will fall into the natural pleasures and warmth of human beings and become as addicted as those people you hate.

So you keep moving forward, and forward, without stopping for a moment.

You'd be happy if someone appreciated you, but you're not a hero. You're just a paranoid person who wants the world to run the way you want it to! Why don't you end this exhausting life? At least that way you can ease your already exhausted soul, instead of being like a worn-out sword trying to chop everything in sight?"

"So what? Did you kill that brat just by saying these words?"

Kerry simply put his hands on his hips in reality, looking like what's wrong.

"Speak more of that beautiful praise, and perhaps you can embarrass me."

"..."

The voices in the ears of the three people stopped for a moment because of Kerry's words.

Kazuma also shook his head. He also realized it. It seemed that it didn’t matter. Just say it! I am rotten!

I have been a NEET for so many years under the pressure from my family. Why should I be afraid of your two sentences?

"Mind control, I hate this kind of thing the most."

Kazuma patted his head.

Yujiro's eyes also became clear again, but that clarity only lasted for a second. The next moment, there was only pure murderous intent and rage in those huge eyes from the beast's wounds being torn open.

The thing that whispered may not know yet what price it will pay for what it has done.

376

Chapter 376: Mountain Walk.

The whispers didn't stop, as if someone was cutting open everyone's hearts to find those fragile things to mock.

But that sound would make several people hear it instinctively, and hear something they least wanted to hear.

But no matter what, no one here will be affected by that sound except Xiaoyao.

None of the three knew what the other had heard, but it was clear that it wasn't anything good.

Chris took off the instrument bag, leaving only two specially made clay pots of blood bombs hanging on his waist, and casually threw the bag on the tree. Then he took out one of the pots of blood and threw it to Yujiro over there.

Hanma Yujiro grabbed his leopard print jacket and kung fu clothes with one hand, twisting them together and then pulling them in one direction.

His strong muscles, which had accompanied him in fighting throughout his life, were directly exposed to the air.

My toes pierced through my cloth shoes and stepped directly on the grass.

At this time, the muscles on his entire back had completely expanded and twisted, turning into a hideous face that looked like a crying evil ghost.

Without looking back, he stretched out his hand to grab the bottle of blood in the air, and then crushed the jar with one hand.

Blood bathed his hands and then flowed along with the glass shards onto his feet, which were also covered in muscle.

The red hair no longer spread out ferociously, but fluttered in the night wind. The muscles on his face no longer wrinkled to make any exaggerated expressions, only a cold look remained.

There was no more outward anger, but the hideousness and terror of the thing in front of him was fifty times stronger than ever before!

Kazuma didn't do anything else, but when he saw Yujiro who didn't say a word, he even dropped the flashlight, holding Xiaoyao in one hand and using the fire on the sword to illuminate Kerry in front of him.

Kazuma knew that this thing's words did not push anyone into dejection and self-pity.

On the contrary, it has awakened the real Shura evil spirit.

"Ouch!"

Like the starting gun of a race, a soft dog bark came from the dense forest, and four pairs of eyes looked over there at the same time.

Xiaoyao, who was originally tortured by the voice in her head, was slightly awakened by this voice. She looked over through Kerry's arms.

"It's Chazi, it's Xiaowei's dog! It must be here to lead us to find Xiaowei!"

"Ow!"

The puppy started running, and it seemed that it wanted to lead the few people along the path up the mountain to bypass the monsters.

However, after seeing the monster remains on the ground, the puppy chose to rush directly to the top of the mountain.

Without much talk, several people started charging directly towards the top of the mountain.

The calmness just now when there were no monsters seemed to be just an illusion.

Before reaching the top of the mountain, more evil spirits and monsters came like a tide.

"Roar!"

Large pale faces, like clouds or fog, blocked the path to the top of the mountain.

A huge ball of yarn covered with eyes and strange hands rolled back and forth on the mountain path like a rolling stone.

Blue will-o'-the-wisp fire mixed with red fireballs chased after the few people, as if to block their retreat down the mountain.

The little ghost stared at the head that was bigger than a human and moved through the woods.

I'm afraid that with this density of ghosts, even if there really are some Onmyoji or barrier masters in this world, it would be impossible to break through.

The terrain here seemed to be against them in every way. When they rushed to the center of the suspension bridge, the bridge suddenly collapsed. They could only grab the broken rope and jump onto the land to continue moving forward.

Several people were walking on the slope. The soft soil seemed unable to withstand the baptism of time and suddenly slid down, trying to bury everyone.

Even the bats flying across the sky would drop a few bacteria-filled bat droppings over the heads of a few people.

But it was meaningless. The huge black strange ball was kicked down the mountain path like a rubber ball.

The wrists of those strange hands that stretched out from the darkness were broken, and the eyes of those giant heads were gouged out and their brains were pulled out.

The paradise of ghosts and monsters, these monsters can only be slaughtered like livestock.

There was even no point in stopping them, as most of them were killed as soon as they emerged from the shadows.

Past the signboard, past the woods, past a shrine with a stone tablet.

Several people reached the top of the mountain.

But unexpectedly, there was nothing here. Other mountains were visible outside the cliff. There were no evil monsters and no culprit causing trouble.

It was empty, as if the monsters along the way were guarding a meaningless piece of land.

The top of the mountain is a cliff. At the end of the cliff there is an old slanted tree with a red dog leash hanging on it. Under the leash is a wooden box, and on the ground lies a pink plush rabbit backpack.

"That's Xiao Wei's bag and Xiao Hei's leash! Xiao Hei is another dog that Xiao Wei raised."

Xiaoyao looked at the backpack on the ground in surprise.

Kerry and the others had also seen it. When Xiao Wei was still there, she was carrying a bag like this on her back.

Yujiro, who actually had no idea why he went up the mountain, finally realized the situation when he saw that thing.

There is no doubt that it was here that Xiao Wei chose to climb onto the box and hang herself by the neck with a dog leash, ending her life.

And the culprit is...

Kazuma and Chris searched for the scent, and Kazuma locked the flashlight on a stone Buddha statue near the top of the mountain.

Noticing the gazes of the two people, Yujiro rushed forward without saying a word and kicked the Buddha statue into pieces.

Behind the Buddha statue, a narrow cave with a deep bottom appeared.

Without any hesitation, Yujiro ducked down and went in.

Kerry and Kazuma also entered one after another.

It felt like arriving at the bottomless cave of Xiankong Mountain, or as if arriving at the deep cave in Huanyin City leading to the place where Mibao fell.

I walked for a while in the narrow, dark gap towards the road that was obviously sloping down, and then the view suddenly opened up.

Arriving here, several people couldn't help but slow down their pace.

Kazuma was scanning around with his flashlight, and Keri and Yujiro also looked up at this place.

This place looks like a natural grotto, with stone pillars sharp enough to cut human skin everywhere, and sharp stone spikes hanging from the ceiling.

Occasionally, one could see rotten ropes at the tops of the stone spikes, with talismans with unknown patterns tied around them.

It seems that we have found the right place. This place looks like the back hall of a shrine, a small house for the gods to live in.

With the flashlight, some traces that looked like spiders but were the size of children were also captured.

It’s just that those things seemed to be avoiding the light, crawling away quickly when not exposed to the light.

If you look closely, you can probably see that those spiders don't have any arthropod characteristics at all. They are made up of giant human fingers.

The few people and the dog continued to walk inward and soon came to a stone bridge. There was empty space on both sides, and below was a bottomless abyss that led to nowhere.

But when the few people reached the center of the stone road, the shaking began.

Thinking that this was another trick of that thing, several people jumped forward quickly.

But this time it was different. At the same time as the vibration came, a huge fragrance emerged from the abyss below along with the shaking.

A huge shadow rose from the ground with a ferocious smile.

Countless red lines blocked all directions like infrared defense, forming a spider web.

No, or rather, the entire mountain is a spider web that lures thousands of prey. It was only when it reached the cave that the spider finally made sure that the prey had been tied up that it lifted up its claws and crawled to the prey.

Chapter 377: God of Bonding: Make up for it!

It was not the stone path that was shaking, but the entire cave.

In the center of the red lines, a huge monster poked out its huge head.

If we were to say the first impression it gives people, it would be that it is huge, so huge that it makes people feel powerless.

If we talk about its complete body size, it is probably not much different from the ordinary Godzilla among monsters.

It looked like a mummy wrapped in bandages all over its body, but if you looked closely, it was not bandages at all. The huge head was not a bandage at all, but two giant white hands.

Two giant hands, with ten fingers intertwined, seemed to swear to never separate from each other. The fate forged by the two formed the huge skull of this thing, and the two hands were huge mouths that could directly swallow a truck. There was no skin, just like the upper and lower jaws of a skeleton strangely spliced under the two hands.

It's just that thing is so, so big.

And there were more than just two hands. Another pair of giant hands with bent and deformed knuckles protected the monster's neck on both sides. Giant red eyeballs with a diameter of more than one meter were irregularly distributed on these four hands. One of the eyeballs was even blinded by its own fingers, and red and black blasphemous blood kept flowing from it.

And these four hands are just the center of this monster. On its left and right, there are countless pairs of claws that look like bones and spider legs, but as wide as a path.

The countless claws on its back kept moving up and down as it moved, as if this ugly thing had a pair of huge wings behind it, and its real blasphemous body was all hidden under a huge white cloth like a waterfall.

Ugly and hideous are the only two feelings this thing gives people, but because of its huge size and the red lines around it, it gives people another feeling.

It was a majestic and sacred thing, and its various characteristics, combined with the clues that He Zhen saw at the foot of the mountain, all revealed its identity.

The God of Bonding.

A deity who brings people together.

Use the red silk to weave a net to connect people.

But maybe that's just the way it is. People can obviously meet each other on their own initiative, but they always ask God to determine their fate. Fate will naturally be the thread that makes two people meet in the end, the thread that makes it impossible for two people to separate even if they torture each other...

But perhaps, with the factories abandoned and the economy in recession, this god that people used to come to worship and beg for help is no longer worshipped.

So it learned on its own, learned to follow the threads of love that carried people's wishes, learned to touch those red lines, dragged people here, and learned to eat those people.

"Don't move!"

A huge voice came out from the open mouth.

Those red eyes stared intently at the prey that broke into its nest and stepped onto the spider web.
