The Death List Novel - Chapter 111
Chapter 111 Gaduludo
The pier plaza was filled with countless huge pits. These pits were actually docks. The submarine dock was different from the dry dock of the land dock. It was very similar to the repair slots of the auto parts factory. They were all below the ground.
These docks were basically empty, with only one dock in the middle holding a damaged warship. The battleship was not a Japanese ship, but a large western sail Galen.
The bow and stern of the warship were half-embedded in the cabin. There were three thick masts on the deck, and there were quite a few ancient cannons on both sides of the ship. Its sails were unloaded, and there was a large hole in front of the hull that almost shattered half of the ship’s bow, exposing the cabin partitions inside.
Looking at it roughly, Qin Lun noticed that its dragon bone was also slightly broken. No wonder the Illusory Demon abandoned the warship. The damaged keel warship could not be repaired at all. It was the right thing to tear down the wood that could still be used on the warship.
At this moment, in the middle of the pier square, a fierce wind shot out, and a group of people were engaged in a fierce battle with a big monster. Because of the distance, Qin Lun could not see the specific situation clearly for the time being.
Sandbags and wooden boxes were scattered all around the pier square and dock. Qin Lun lowered his body and slowly approached the battle circle in the middle of the square, relying on these sandbags and wooden boxes.
About a hundred meters away from the battlefield, Qin Lun did not dare to continue forward. The occasional strong winds from the battle center made him a little shocked. He was afraid that the battle here was not something he could interfere with. Moreover, he could already clearly see the two warring parties from this distance, so there was no need for him to take the risk of getting closer.
In the middle of the battle, there was a big monster. It looked like two giant dogs fitting side by side, with two ferocious and terrifying heads. Its neck had a boar-like white mane, and its body was five meters tall. Without its tail, it was seven meters long.
The two-headed dog gritted its teeth and growled softly. Its mouth saliva dripped down along the huge canine teeth. The hook claws at the tips of its toes were long and sharp, as if they were covered with steel finger gloves. It wore iron armor and special helmets on both of its heads. The helmet covered the entire dog face, and it was invisible to the eyes. There was a sharp steel cone at the top of the helmet.
According to the Illusory Demon Wind Record, this two-headed dog was the boss guarding the Underwater Shrine. It was called Gaduludo and was Oda Nobunaga’s two watchdogs when he was alive.
There were a total of seven humans surrounding Gaduludo, and one of them was a handsome Japanese warrior who resembled one of the Ghost Warrior protagonists that Lyu Kuang had introduced, Mingzuo Ma Jie.
Mingzhi Zuo Ma Jie wore red armor, held a warrior saber with a mighty shape, and on his right hand was an oddly structured armor. This armor was embedded with an eyeball-shaped red gem on his wrist. It was probably the Ghost Warrior’s signature weapon, the Ghost Cage Hand.
Most of the reason why ghost martial artists were powerful was because of their Ghost Cage Hands. After the ghost warriors defeated the Illusory Demons, the Ghost Cage Hands could absorb their souls, replenish their blood energy and magic power, and refine their weapons and armor.
It could be said that as long as the ghost martial artists weren’t surrounded by the Illusory Demons, they would be the strongest individual warriors in the Illusory Demon World, evolving to the end and even surpassing the Illusory Demon King.
However, the Ghost Cage Hand could only be used by Ghost Warriors and be connected to their souls if it was recognized by the Ghost Race. Even if others killed ghost warriors, they wouldn’t be able to obtain the Ghost Cage Hand.
There were a total of four Samsara cultivators who fought against the two-headed dog, Gaduludo, together with Smart Zuo Ma Jie. Two of them were black Matthew and Japanese girl Junko Yoshida. As for their other companion, Joe, he was lying face down on the ground, not knowing whether he would survive or die. There were two piles of Illusory Demon Ashes not far from Joyce, but they didn’t know what kind of ashes they were. It looked like the two Illusory Devils had died with Joyce.
As for the other two Samsara cultivators, from the occasional angry shouts, Qin Lun also recognized their identities. These two people were the two veterans he had encountered in the maze. The sturdy Samsara Cultivator was called Pan Hu, and the handsome Samsara Cultivator was called Lou Ying.
Pan Hu and Lou Ying were different from Matthew. They were truly experienced experts. Not only had they crossed more than a dozen mission worlds, they had also opened their own combat professions.
However, even if the four Samsara cultivators were to join forces with Smart Zuo Ma Jie, they were still at a disadvantage in the battle. The key to this wasn’t the two-headed dog Gaduludo, but the two Illusory Demon Reincarnations standing close to the Illusory Demon Boss.
The two Illusory Demon Camps’ Samsara Cultivators were a man and a woman. The man wore a magical robe and seemed to be a magician, while the woman held a long axe spear in her hand. It was actually a rare weapon profession.
The strength of these two people was no less than that of Pan Hu and Lou Ying, and the battle between the two sides was currently in a stalemate. In fact, in terms of strength alone, the Ghost Alliance’s battle prowess surpassed that of the Illusory Demon Alliance.
If neither side had the help of Samsara, Master Zuo Ma Jie alone would have been able to deal with Gaduludo.
The two-headed dog was indeed powerful. One head could spit out flames and the other could spit out frost. However, it was large, inconvenient to turn around, and without armor covering its lower abdomen and buttocks, it was easy to be killed by the smart Zuo Ma Jie.
However, now that there were two more veterans of the Illusory Demon Faction, the chemical reactions within them were very wonderful. The Magician and the Axe Spear Woman had covered Gaduludo’s weakness very well. Now, not only did Pan Hu and Lou Ying not dare to rush to the lower abdomen of the Twin-Headed Dog, even Master Zuo Ma Jie did not dare to risk his life.
Originally, they had tried to use too many men to go around Gaduludo’s buttocks to explode, but they were not able to match the Magicians and the Axe Spear Girl because of the lack of manpower. With more points, Gaduludo would turn around. No matter how slow the twin-headed dog turned, there was enough time for the Magician and the Axe Spear Woman to delay.
If the Ghost Faction’s Samsara wanted to kill the Magician and the Axe Spear Woman first, they would avoid their attacks and rely solely on Gaduludo to defend against them. A two-headed dog wearing iron armor was simply the best MT. Its huge body covered the two of them firmly.
It had been almost half an hour since this battle. Not to mention the Samsara of the Ghost Faction, even Master Zuo Ma Jie was depressed.
Gaduludo was getting more and more energetic. It had been a long time since the Underwater Temple had been abandoned and no one had played a fight game with him. Although the armor was potholed, in fact, it didn’t have many small wounds. As an Illusory Demon Boss, its self-healing ability was also very powerful.
As for Master Zuo Ma Jie and the four Samsara cultivators from the Ghost Faction, they slowly fell into a predicament over time. Gaduludo’s breath of ice and fire was very strong. Even though his speed was relatively slow, occasional stumbles were still inevitable. As more small injuries accumulated, there would always be a moment when quantitative changes would lead to qualitative changes.
Most importantly, the Illusory Demon Faction was the main arena in the Underwater Temple. The recovery medicines on the Magicians and the Axe Spear Woman were basically not consumed. The reincarnations of the Ghost Faction had come all the way here. Even though there weren’t many Illusory Demon Guards in the Divine Seabed Palace, they would definitely be consumed more than the Magicians and Axe Spear Girls.
“What should we do?” Lou Ying glanced at his companion and asked on the guild channel.
“Should we retreat? Go to the boss’s side and give up the reward for killing Gaduludo. Do you want to use that thing?” The rough-looking Panhu said with a serious expression. “The armor on Gaduludo’s body has also been damaged a lot. He shouldn’t be able to withstand that kind of power!”
Lou Ying said hesitantly, “If I use that thing, I will basically lose my combat strength. There is no problem for Smart Zuo Ma Jie to kill Garuda, but the other party’s Samsara …”
“Hmph, don’t worry! Their strength is indeed not bad, but I am still a First Grade MT. It won’t be a problem to stop them for a while. As long as Smart Zuo Ma Jie kills Gaduludo quickly, they won’t be able to turn the tide!” Pan Hu’s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness. “The other two are half-baked, which makes me very worried!”
Lou Ying and Pan Hu discussed for a while and finally made up their minds. They had worked so hard to find the Illusory Demon Boss of the Underwater Shrine that they had even delayed the progress of another major branch mission. If he were to retreat like this, he would be a little unwilling.
Although Gaduludo was not the main branch, it was also related to a hidden plot. Moreover, by killing any Illusory Demon Boss, the Samsara of the Ghost Race would be able to obtain a huge amount of reputation points, and they could also exchange for precious special treasures in the Demon Breaking Mirror.
“Go around behind your backs one more time, and I will have Mingzhi Zuomajie cooperate with you!” Iwakita Tiger’s eyes lit up as he greeted Matthew and Junko Yoshida.
Matthew and Junko Yoshida did not hesitate and immediately circled around Gaduludo, but they did not discover that Smart Zuo Ma Jie did not follow them as usual. Their strength was the weakest amongst these reincarnations, and they had done similar cooperation before. They did not doubt that Pan Hu had ulterior motives.
Pan Hu immediately winked at Lou Ying after the two of them were blocked by Gaduludo.
Lou Ying took a deep breath and jumped out of the ring of battles. He took out an ancient bronze mirror from his storage space and sounded an ancient spell incantation.
The frame of the bronze mirror was carved with two small dragons. The dragon’s mouth gathered together at the top of the bronze mirror, and in the middle was a small pearl that resembled a two-dragon playpearl. Following the faint incantation sound, the tiny pearl instantly lit up, and even the entire copper mirror shone brightly, emitting a golden and dignified light.
The center of the bronze mirror produced a large cloud of mist out of thin air, causing the wind to surge, lightning to flash, and thunder to rumble. Two golden dragons appeared in the wind and clouds, soaring into the clouds and riding the fog, as if they were about to break through the mirror.
“Crackle!” At some unknown time, a huge black cloud had also gathered above the square. A small bolt of lightning exploded above everyone’s heads, giving off a prelude that the mountain rain was about to blow over the entire building.
“Not good, quickly retreat!” The mages of the Illusory Demon Camp looked up and their expressions changed drastically.
There was only one drawback to relying on Gaduludo as a shield, and that was that his vision was limited. Furthermore, Matthew and Junko Yoshida had attracted their attention and failed to stop Lou Ying from activating this powerful equipment.
Gaduludo seemed to have sensed danger as well. His huge body squatted down slightly and lowered his two dog heads. He tried his best to face the winner with the helmet on his head.
“Ao!” Just as the atmosphere was suffocating, the bronze mirror in Lou Ying’s hand erupted with a burst of intense light. The two golden dragons in the mirror each let out a deafening dragon roar.
