Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 158 Cerberus
Facing Qiao Yu's questioning, the Mechanical Empress was silent for a moment before saying, "Cerberus is a dog native to hell. I told you that you couldn't even beat the local dogs in this dungeon, and you didn't believe me."
Qiao Yu was speechless.
How fresh, calling the hellhound a local dog.
Looking at Cerberus's attribute information, Qiao Yu had to admit that he might not be able to defeat this monster in a real fight.
"Qiao Yu, we shouldn't have to deal with this monster."
Zuo You reminded him.
"The system task only asks us to cross the Gate of Hell. We don't need to fight this monster head-on."
"Wait a minute. Let me think." Qiao Yu stroked his chin and began to think.
Five minutes later.
Two strange undead had joined the vast army of the dead.
Unlike the other undead, these two undead were also hanging their heads, but they were traveling on foot.
"...Qiao Yu, will this really work?" Zuo You asked.
At this time, she was covered in mud that Qiao Yu didn't know where he had dug up. She looked like a newly unearthed cultural relic.
"Hey, don't worry, I'm pretty lucky!"
Qiao Yu's tone was certain.
"You see, the three-headed dog eats randomly. How unlucky would it be to bite us?"
"But..." Zuo You was still a little worried.
"Hey, no buts! It's impossible to bite us! We're almost at the Gate of Hell, lower your head!" Qiao Yu said.
The two lowered their heads and walked towards the Gate of Hell in the army of the dead.
*Whoosh!*
Cerberus, the hellhound's six blood-red eyes opened, staring at the army of the dead like six red lanterns hanging high in the sky.
"Crap, it can't be that unlucky, right?"
Qiao Yu's Adam's apple couldn't help but roll.
For some reason, he felt like that local dog was looking at him.
But the Gate of Hell was right in front of him, and now he could only bite the bullet and continue walking forward.
"Zuo You, lower your head, don't make eye contact with that dead dog," Qiao Yu said.
"Okay!" Zuo You nodded heavily.
"Qiao Yu, should we keep moving forward?"
Receiving no response, Zuo You couldn't help but ask again.
"Qiao Yu?"
She turned her head, only to find that Qiao Yu had long disappeared.
Replaced by a row of sharp, fishy, and foul-smelling teeth.
The hellhound had directly bitten Qiao Yu into its mouth!
"Qiao Yu! Are you okay, Qiao Yu?"
Zuo You was anxious and directly punched the hellhound's fangs.
But her strength couldn't shake the hellhound at all.
"Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!"
The hellhound's big mouth kept chewing on the dead, and this time, Zuo You clearly saw blood seeping from the corners of the hellhound's mouth!
The dead don't bleed, so the only possibility was that the blood came from Qiao Yu!
Zuo You's eyes turned red instantly, and she rushed out of the army of the dead!
The hellhound's left head stretched forward and spat a large mouthful of purple pus at Zuo You.
"Sizzle!"
The purple pus contained great corrosiveness, and as soon as it touched Zuo You's body, it corroded her body, causing it to emit white smoke frantically.
However, Zuo You didn't seem to feel any pain and rushed towards the hellhound, enduring the purple pus.
But her health was also decreasing rapidly. At this rate, she would be corroded into a skeleton before she could get close to the hellhound.
The purple pus also corroded part of Zuo You's clothes, and the red cross was exposed to the air.
[Ding! Detected that the player is very stubborn, bathing unprotected in the hellhound Cerberus's venom for more than 100s, rewarding the passive skill "Adaptive Poison Immunity"]
《Adaptive Poison Immunity》Level: A
Effect: When attacked by the same toxin for more than 10s, the toxin will no longer be able to harm you.
As the skill was activated, Zuo You immediately felt the pressure on her body lighten, and the purple pus felt as warm as a hot spring to her.
Except for some fishiness, the hellhound's venom could no longer harm her.
Before Zuo You could be happy, the hellhound made a swallowing motion, its whole body suddenly paused, and then it twisted its head frantically as if it had gone mad.
Zuo You had just gotten close when she was directly knocked away by the hellhound.
"Ugh!"
The hellhound let out a deafening retching sound.
Countless pale, severed limbs were vomited out of its mouth.
Qiao Yu, who was mixed in among them and was red all over, was particularly dazzling.
"Qiao Yu!"
Zuo You's voice was full of surprise.
"Ugh!"
Qiao Yu, who had just escaped from the dog's mouth, didn't have time to pay attention to Zuo You and also let out a retching sound.
He never wanted to experience the feeling of being eaten into the mouth by the hellhound with countless dead again in his life.
It felt like putting you and a bunch of incomplete corpses into a super-large washing machine and then stirring quickly.
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
The hellhound's middle head coughed violently.
A pair of basketball-sized dog eyes were full of pain.
Its other two heads looked at the middle head with concern.
"Run!"
Qiao Yu didn't have time to wipe the saliva and unknown sticky liquid from his body, he grabbed Zuo You's hand and began to escape into the Gate of Hell.
At this time, the hellhound had no time to pay attention to them. It could only be seen that the middle head coughed a few times and fell down softly, its eyes rolled back and it died.
Without the hellhound's obstruction, the two of them quickly crossed the Gate of Hell.
After running until they could no longer see the towering white stone gate behind them, Zuo You, panting, stepped forward and punched Qiao Yu hard.
"You're too reckless! Do you know that you almost became dog poop and were pulled out just now?"
Qiao Yu was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you just saying that the dead dog didn't bite us?"
Zuo You: "..."
"How did you escape from the hellhound's mouth just now?" Zuo You couldn't help but ask as they continued on their way.
"When you eat fish, have you ever had a fishbone stuck in your throat?" Qiao Yu said.
"What do you mean?"
"I stuck the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in that dead dog's throat."
Qiao Yu looked pained. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade had followed him for more than a hundred chapters and had provided him with a lot of help in the early stages.
Now that it was stuck in that dead dog's throat, he didn't know if he could get it back.
The two continued to move forward.
What Qiao Yu didn't know was that not long after they left, the middle head of Cerberus, the hellhound, in front of the Gate of Hell, suddenly opened its eyes again.
Cerberus snorted out two white breaths and then opened its mouth and swallowed a large mouthful of the dead.
Accompanied by the wails of the dead, Cerberus's six big eyes stared fixedly at the back of the Gate of Hell.
