Chapter 278 The Birth of the Mastiff
"There's no road ahead. Could this be the main burial chamber?"
Looking at the hellish scene before him, Chen Wenjin said in disbelief.
"Impossible. Even if Genghis Khan was a Mongol, his main tomb wouldn't be filled with so many bones."
Whether considering his belief in the Eternal Heaven or the traditional Mongolian burial practices, doing so is taboo.
Yang Xueli firmly denied the possibility that this was the main burial chamber.
Cheng Feng stared intently at the thick layer of bones in the tomb chamber. If it was really as he thought, there was no need to go into this tomb chamber, because the entrance to the main tomb chamber was definitely not here.
Just then, Ah Xiang tugged at Cheng Feng's sleeve, her gaze fixed on the terracotta warriors in front of her, and whispered:
"Brother, something terrifying has awakened here, and it has its eyes on us."
Upon hearing Ah Xiang's words, the two women who were discussing where the main tomb chamber might be located also stopped.
Then, in the quiet atmosphere, a faint clicking sound could be heard from behind the terracotta warriors.
"Old Cheng, put these terracotta warriors away."
With her eyes fixed on the opposite side, Chen Wenjin whispered a reminder to Cheng Feng.
But Cheng Feng clearly didn't want to do that, because these terracotta warriors were different from the previous ones.
Those terracotta warriors were cast entirely from clay, and there were skeletal remains inside them.
The clay was merely a thin layer covering the surface of the corpse.
"These are not terracotta figurines but human figurines; it would be better to burn them."
As he spoke, hundreds of Dapu Ghost Insects, each carrying immeasurable karmic fire, flew out from in front of Cheng Feng.
Following Cheng Feng's will, these Dapu ghost insects spread their wings and flew towards the terracotta figures covered in clay.
As they collided with the terracotta warriors, the boundless karmic fire, capable of burning in ice layers tens of degrees below zero, instantly reduced the terracotta warriors to ashes.
The blue flames that suddenly ignited also completely alarmed what was behind the terracotta warriors.
Amidst the dust mixed with ashes and clay, a wolf-like creature several times larger than a Siberian tiger faintly appeared.
Its movements were stiff, as if it were unfamiliar with its own body.
But as it stepped over the corpses on the ground and walked towards Cheng Feng and the others, its movements became increasingly fluid.
The monster had a robust skeleton, with dry skin tightly wrapped around its bones.
Its fur was pure black, but it had almost completely fallen out, and the few remaining hairs were as fragile as a middle-aged person's hair.
Moreover, as it continues to move around, the fur on its body is gradually falling out.
Its head is particularly ferocious, with withered skin and no hair, making it look like a skinned wolfhound.
A set of fangs was exposed due to the dryness of his lips, and black, viscous liquid was dripping from them.
"A wolf that has turned into a zombie? It's rare to see a wolf this big. It looks much bigger than that white wolf king!"
The goddesses' expressions remained unchanged; this thing posed no threat from any angle.
So even when the monster is about to launch an attack, they still have the mind to consider its species.
“This is not a wolf, it is a mastiff, and it should be the main body of this widest and largest tomb.”
It is said that the conditions for breeding a true mastiff are extremely demanding.
The primary condition is to have ten puppies from the same mother, ensuring that these ten puppies were born together.
Provided that all ten cubs are healthy and strong, raise them until weaning.
When they are old enough to eat meat, prepare a pit and put ten young mastiffs of the same age into it.
Every day thereafter, only very little food was provided.
These mastiff puppies must go through brutal competition to ensure their survival.
After their ferocity was cultivated, the amount of food provided was reduced again.
At this point, the hungry mastiff puppies will start attacking their brothers and sisters.
After a fierce battle and devouring, the last one remaining is the true mastiff.
'The Spirit Hound Appears, the Thousand Wolves Vanish'
It is said that once this mastiff grows to adulthood, the surrounding wolves will stay away and dare not approach the area where the mastiff is located.
Moreover, a mastiff will only recognize one master in its lifetime and will be extremely loyal to that master.
Now Cheng Feng suspects that the owner of the mastiff in front of him may very well be Genghis Khan.
It served by Genghis Khan's side during its lifetime, and after its death, it was transformed into a ferocious beast that guarded his tomb using special methods.
This also explains why a dog's grave is often larger than that of other grave keepers.
Moreover, its style is fundamentally different from other tombs.
The once fierce mastiff has become even more ferocious after transforming into a demon mastiff; it opens its large mouth, which is dripping with black slime.
Suddenly accelerating and sprinting forward,
After reaching a position seven or eight meters in front of the group, it charged forward with its hind legs, lunging at Cheng Feng, who was standing at the very front.
Its movements were as swift as the wind; at this distance, the four women would have no chance to dodge.
At the critical moment, Cheng Feng raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible wind blade instantly struck the head of the ghost mastiff in mid-air.
boom,
The ghost hound's pounce was blocked by the wind blades and it slammed heavily onto the ground.
At the same time, a deep wound appeared from its right eye to its jawbone.
"The charging time wasn't long enough, otherwise this wind blade should have sliced off half of its head."
Thinking to himself, Cheng Feng summoned several more flying Dapu Ghost Insects.
Unlike the previous form of boundless karmic fire, this time the Dapu Ghost Insect is silvery-white, like tiny ice crystals.
They are another form of the Dapu Ghost Insect, namely the Poisonous God Ice.
The wind blades did not cause any real damage to the ghost mastiff. It rolled over, got up from the ground, and fearlessly charged at Cheng Feng again.
Because the distance was too close, the newly summoned Naiqiong God Ice didn't even have time to flap its wings a few times.
The Ghost Hound then rammed headfirst into Naiqiong Shenbing.
Instantly, a large amount of frost spread from the head of the Ghost Mastiff, and finally, less than half a meter away from Cheng Feng, it was completely frozen into an ice sculpture.
'Ding~ Mission to eliminate the Ghost Mastiff is complete.'
Reward: Grass and Tree Collection
Do you wish to collect it?
Since it is not needed at present, Cheng Feng chose to temporarily store it in the system.
Looking at the snow mastiff frozen solid so close to her, Ah Xiang sighed softly and whispered:
"I can't see anything else in it."
The three women were finally relieved and took a few steps forward to carefully examine the ghost mastiff, which had been frozen into an ice block.
"I saw Tibetan Mastiffs at the Wu family's house before, and at the time I thought they weren't much better than other large dogs."
They're not as miraculous as the legends suggest. Now it seems that if a real mastiff looks like this...
Even large wolf packs would probably be no match for it.
The fact that Chen Wenjin mentioned the Wu family to Cheng Feng shows that she has completely let go of Wu Sansheng.
I will no longer have any particular emotions about Wu Sansheng.
"I've heard my mother mention this before. Apparently, Old Dog Wu went to the Tibetan region specifically for this purpose."
I wanted to find a real mastiff, but unfortunately, after months of searching, I still haven't succeeded.
Finally, he brought back a puppy he had borrowed from a herder's family.
Huo Ling felt a little smug when she mentioned this. If there were a mirror at that moment, she would have noticed...
Her expression at this moment was almost exactly the same as when Huo Xiangu told her about it.
