Chapter 104: Slaughter of the Mountain God

  "Patience is so good!" Li Mang had been strolling around Qingqiu Mountain for half an hour, but still hadn't waited for the Nine-Tailed Fox, and couldn't help but feel a little impatient. He muttered to himself, then suddenly saw a tree in front of him that was full of bright red wild fruit, so he quietly walked over.

  "Hmm... it smells quite good, but I don't know if it's poisonous." Li Mang muttered to himself, subconsciously scanning the ground with his eyes, noticing that the surface was smooth and seemed to be frequently visited by animals, with chicken droppings nearby, containing fruit pits.

  Li Mang felt a bit relieved, picked one off and wiped it with his hand before putting it into his mouth.

  "Hmm..."

  Who would have thought that even eating a fruit could not be peaceful, the nine-tailed fox that had been hiding in the dark finally made its move, and its elongated tail suddenly attacked Li Meng.

  Li Meng was also caught off guard, and although he dodged the attack, the fruit in his hand was knocked to the ground. This made the foodie extremely angry, and he suddenly exerted extraordinary strength, grabbing the tail with one hand and pulling it back with great force, shouting: "Return my wild fruit!"

  "Crack!"

  A fox was pulled out alive from the bushes, its face filled with shock and confusion, it didn't quite understand why this human had suddenly become so strong.

  "Ah!"

  The crystal dragon hidden in the high altitude finally took action, a water crystal long tail appeared and swept down, the nine-tailed fox was frightened to pale, instinctively wanting to escape. However, its tail was being pulled by Li Meng with great force, although it dragged Li Meng into a tumble, but it couldn't shake him off at once, resulting in an extremely slow escape speed, thus...

  "Bang!"

  Jīng Lóng's tail still successfully hit the nine-tailed fox, but it remained upright, pulling its tail back from Li Mǎng's hand and was about to drill into the thicket.

  But during this time, a lot of time was delayed, and the crystal dragon with its bloody mouth open had already approached, accurately biting onto the nine-tailed fox's body.

  "Squeak!!!!!!"

  The nine-tailed fox struggled with all its might. Its nine tails grew longer, some supporting the ground, while most of them coiled around the Crystal Dragon's body, pulling tightly and fiercely. The force of its death throes was so great that it made the Crystal Dragon's crystal scales crackle and creak, and if this continued, they would be crushed to pieces.

  "Stinky fox!" Li Meng didn't just stand by, his long knife accurately stabbed into its body, and when it still hadn't died, he used force to stir it around. The fox wasn't an animal worthy of sympathy anyway.

  ……

  At the intersection of Qingqiu Mountain and Jishui Mountain, Li Mang placed all the offerings on a stone platform in an orderly manner, then hid with Jinglong in a hidden place to wait quietly. Burn incense? Light candles? In ancient times, there was no such etiquette for worship. This sacrifice is simply placing the necessary things on the altar and waiting for the mountain god to come and eat, that's all.

  Time passed slowly, and a familiar black shadow soon appeared in Li Mang's line of sight. It was the bird-bodied dragon-headed god that had just been in an intense battle not long ago.

  It finally arrived in front of the altar. After looking around at the things on the altar and nodding its head in satisfaction, it directly picked up the prey from the ground and started eating. Without peeling or removing the fur, it swallowed the whole thing into its mouth, drinking blood and eating flesh, extremely terrifying.

  Li Mang's eyebrows furrowed in distaste, feeling a bit nauseous. For an ancient wild beast, it might not be worth mentioning, after all, the beast was not human. Eating things were all about devouring hair and drinking blood, but seeing it personally and thinking that he still had to eat its meat... his stomach couldn't help but churn.

  In the blink of an eye, the bird-bodied dragon-headed god had eaten almost all the offerings on the altar. The last one it picked up was the corpse of a white gibbon, which it sniffed and then wrinkled its forehead in distaste, clearly sensing that this body was not fresh. More importantly, this white gibbon had died of old age, devoid of any vital energy, making it utterly tasteless to the spiritual beast, like chewing wax.

  "Damn it!" Li Mang's heart suddenly rose to his throat, he had originally planned to use the old ape's corpse to deceive and get away with it, but if it didn't work, wouldn't this sacrifice be in vain? Li Mang's face was instantly filled with a tangled expression.

  "Hmph!" The mountain god snorted in discontent, casually tossing the old ape's corpse to the ground, his body swaying back and forth like a drunk.

  "Strange..." Li Meng muttered to himself, then turned to Jing Long beside him and said: "Jing Long, you go try it out, but be careful, if things don't feel right, come back immediately."

  Jing Long nodded and then flew up quietly, approaching the Mountain God who was about to leave. If it were before, as long as Jing Long entered the range of Jitui Mountain, the other party would immediately have a perception. However, this time, the bird-bodied dragon-headed god did not discover Jing Long, still staggering forward.

  "It's strange, what is the actual effect of this ritual?" Li Mang stroked his chin thoughtfully, wondering whether it was to offer sacrifices, appease the mountain god, or even to hypnotize the mountain god.

  At this time, Jing Long had already arrived behind the Bird Body Dragon Head God, and seeing that it still didn't react, Jing Long's courage grew a bit bigger, its tail swooshing down to whip.

  "Roar!"

  However, just as Jing Long was about to succeed, the Bird-Headed Dragon God sensed danger approaching and turned around with a loud roar.

  "Boom!"

  "Ahh!"

  But what was astonishing was that Jing Long actually succeeded, the Bird Body Dragon Head God although sensed the threat, but it seemed to have lost some of its abilities and was flung to the ground in a sorry state.

  Li Meng was taken aback.

  Jing Long was also stunned. The mountain god's strength, he knew it, before meeting Jing Long didn't even have the chance to exert his own strength, but now...it's a bit dramatic.

  "Roar!"

  The bird-like dragon's head was furious, and with a loud roar, it crawled up from the ground and pounced on Jing Long like a madman. Its movements were powerful and seemed to have great strength. But precisely because of this, it could better reveal its clumsiness, and its former spirituality had almost disappeared.

  "Bang!" "Roar!"

  Jing Long saw this, and with a fearless attitude, he started a crazy and intense fight. It was a purely primitive hand-to-hand combat, very exciting to watch, and Li Meng's blood was boiling too. But he didn't forget his identity after all, seeing that the Bird Mountain God had indeed greatly reduced in strength, he also became fearless, drew his knife and charged forward.

  "Roar!" The bird-bodied dragon-headed god was enraged, and a single crystal dragon had already given it a headache. Now that Li Mang had joined in, it was even more powerless. As for the Mountain God's law, there were not many that it could use at this moment, precisely because of the sacrifice.

  "Roar!"

  However, the bird-bodied dragon-headed god was not at a loss for tricks either. With another roar, a flame suddenly shot out of its mouth and flew straight towards Li Mang. The scorching temperature formed a heat wave that could be felt from afar, causing Li Mang's face to change drastically!

  "Roar!" The crystal dragon opposite him also responded with a dragon's roar, opening its bloody big mouth, but it was a water dragon that spouted out, completely suppressing the flames of the bird-bodied dragon-headed god, directly extinguishing them. The crystal dragon was originally a water-attribute spirit beast, so it wasn't surprising that it could spit out water, it just hadn't had the opportunity to show it before.

  Li Meng woke up from his shock and found that the bird-bodied dragon-headed god was somewhat dispirited after spitting fire, so he seized this opportunity to fly up with one foot on the ground and came to its face, stabbing his long knife towards its lantern-sized eyeball.

  "Hiss!" Although the bird-headed deity dodged its head slightly, the long knife still hit its mark, deeply embedding itself in the corner of its eye, rendering that eyeball useless!

  "Ahhh!!!"

  The bird-bodied dragon-headed god was enraged, and the surrounding mountains and rocks shook violently, then flew up one after another, pressing down on this side like a landslide.

  But these stones moved extremely slowly, apparently restricted by the Bird Body Dragon Head God's abilities. Jing Long didn't even glance at them, instead using his sharp claws to scratch out another eyeball, allowing the stones to hit him without any reaction. However, Jing Long seemed completely unaware and unaffected.

  Lost its twin eyes, the bird-bodied dragon-headed god, though not dead, could only spin around in place, attempting to drive away the attack. Afterwards, it even flapped its bald-backed wings, wanting to escape.

  "Roar!" Jing Long naturally didn't miss this opportunity, and with one bite, he clamped down on its leg. Then, with a heavy drag, the bird-like dragon's cumbersome body suddenly plummeted downwards, causing the ground to shudder violently.

  Li Meng also cooperated tacitly, without saying a word, he quickly ran over and crazily stabbed Huang Pin's knife into his neck, piercing and crushing it, even nailing it to the ground before stopping. Jing Long was equally unwilling to show weakness, his claws fiercely slashing at the vital parts of his body, tearing out wound after wound.

  After a few struggles, the bird's body and dragon's head gradually lost their strength, and finally, under the joint efforts of one man and one dragon, they still lost their breath.

  "Hah……" Having exhausted all his strength, Li Mang suddenly sat down beside the corpse of the Bird-Body Dragon-Head God, panting heavily, but with a smile full of excitement and agitation on his face. Since obtaining the Shan Hai Jing, this was still his most intense battle in the Shan Hai Jing space, thoroughly enjoyable!

  "Bang!"

  Li Meng suddenly felt his hand pressing against something metal and couldn't help but lower his head to take a look, at which point he couldn't help but let out a surprised cry.
