Chapter 517

But just as the three cleaners were about to return to the present world, they were forcibly pulled back at the most critical moment. Their anger was building up so much it was almost overflowing. They’d rather strangle him on the spot than chat with him.

“Just a little more…”

After breaking free from the immense disappointment, Mona, the fieriest female cleaner, let out an angry roar. Ignoring the suction cups on her arms still being sucked by the tentacles, she forcibly broke free and started wildly tearing at the tentacles binding her, her bloodied arms swinging furiously.

The other two weren’t faring any better. Despite their bodies nearly becoming transparent due to burning their souls before being ambushed, they still struggled fiercely, trying to resist the death ambassador’s restraints.

“Ah… if you don’t want to talk, that’s fine.”

Seeing these three cleaners being so uncooperative, the long-tailed giant horse couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment. Then, using its tentacles to scoop up the three cleaners, it walked towards the Gate of the Dead while incessantly babbling, “Let me tell you something. When your Clearing Bureau’s madman ate the Hound God, I was actually there. Wow, the scene was bloody beyond imagination. You guys can’t even imagine how crazy he was.

“The Death Guard Dogs he ate were the weakest among the True Gods of the deathscape, but even the weakest is still a True God. And yet, he slaughtered them, drilled into their bellies, and began gnawing from inside out. That’s what I call ruthless! When we death ambassadors arrived, that lunatic was holding the Hound God’s heart, chewing on it while crawling out of its belly, completely covered in blood like a blood person. His clothes were soaked in divine blood, not a speck of another color could be seen!”

After chattering on for a bit, the long-tailed giant horse crouched outside the Gate of the Dead, originally the Three-headed Dog God’s territory. While scooping up the souls of two dead people into its mouth, it continued excitedly, “Tsk tsk, none of our death ambassadors expected to encounter such an event. Everyone was stunned.

“The blind fish in the River of Yellow Springs jumped into the river in fright. The Blood-Crested Ravens flew away without looking back. The Bone-White Reindeers exploded on the spot out of fear and haven’t recovered yet.

“Fortunately, I had less courage than them, didn’t dare to get too close at first, took a quick glance and ran away. But I still got scolded by Lord Sovereign and was sent here to guard the gate first.

“Hmm… guarding here is actually pretty boring. Those deceased souls with insufficient strength, once they step onto the No Return Road, can’t stop. There’s no time for idle chatter. But you three have strong souls, you should last three to five days? How about this: you stay here and keep me company. I’ll wait until the Blood-Crested Raven comes to relieve me in four days before eating you. What do you think? Interested?”

“Get lost! Go away!”

“Eh, alright then. I thought you might entertain me a bit.”

Looking at the furious female cleaner who clearly had no intention of cooperating, the long-tailed giant horse couldn’t help but sigh in helplessness. Then it opened its big mouth full of grinding teeth and used its tentacles to scoop up the female cleaner to shove inside.

“That horse! Wait!”

At this moment, a somewhat anxious voice came from afar. The long-tailed giant horse glanced sideways and saw a small figure dressed in bright red rushing over.

Who are you to make me wait? Why is your face so big?

After checking the soul strength of the incoming person, it found it was only slightly stronger than a regular cleaner, weaker than the one in its mouth by more than half. The long-tailed giant horse couldn’t help but sneer disdainfully and was about to bite down directly.

However, at this moment, the other two cleaners bound by the tentacles recognized the newcomer and couldn’t help but shout in despair,

“Leon? How… were you killed too?”

Oh, so his name is Li… ah? Leon? The Food God Eater Leon?! Upon hearing this shocking name, the long-tailed giant horse couldn’t help but tremble violently. It suddenly realized that the brightly red figure was indeed the Food God Eater it had glimpsed from afar! As for why he was so red…

That’s unremovable god blood!!!

“Help! Lord Sovereign, save me!!!”

And seeing it about to enter the gate, Leon, who was rushing over, immediately panicked.

No other reason, the authority of the Death Guard Dog must rely on the Gate of the Dead to take effect. And like the Three-headed Dog God, it only has the ability to block entry and exit, but no power to release anyone.

In short, if the souls of the three cleaners hadn’t entered the gate yet, then Leon, who “replaced” the Death Guard Dog, had the authority to keep them out. But if they had already entered, whether they could come out again would depend entirely on themselves.

“Stop! Don’t run!”

Hearing Leon’s roar, the long-tailed giant horse’s whole body shivered, its legs stumbled, almost falling down. But in the end, it didn’t stop as instructed, instead running faster.

Only a fool would stop! The Food God Eater disappeared for so many days, now suddenly appearing outside the deathscape gate, probably because he digested the dog god and was hungry again, wanting to come back for more food! If I don’t run, am I waiting to be eaten? No choice…

Seeing its forehoof already stepping into the Gate of the Dead, and its neck’s tentacle winding around the three cleaners about to pass through the door, Leon couldn’t help but sigh, then stopped, raised both hands and aimed at the distant huge gate, forcefully clapping them together.

“Close it for me!”

With Leon’s roar, the heavy gate appeared out of nowhere, separating life and death. The Gate of the Dead slammed shut with a loud bang, and the surging thick death energy swept all around, blowing all the deceased near the gate away.

And seeing Leon willing to force the gate closed just to taste him, the fleeing long-tailed giant horse was already scared witless, not caring about potential injuries, and managed to stick its head through before the Gate of the Dead closed…

Not a single mistake, one after another, content inside 69 book bar!

“Boom!”

The heavy gate closed completely, the body of the long-tailed giant horse was left outside, and the horse’s head rolled down. Relying on the two tentacles remaining on its neck, it ran away like a human, screaming loudly while running.

“Trouble! Run fast! The Food God Eater is hungry again!!!”

“…”

What the hell is this thing…

Through the closed gate, Leon watched the horse head flailing its two octopus tentacles, quickly running far away on the No Return Road, his sanity points plummeting. He couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle, then hurriedly took out the [Silver Knife] and freed the three cleaners bound by the tentacles.

“Leon? What’s going on…”

“No time to explain!”

Feeling the deathscape boiling again after the forced closure of the Gate of the Dead, worried about being caught by the sovereigns of the deathscape, Leon quickly dragged the three bewildered seniors and turned to run in the direction he came from.

“Hurry up! If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!”
