Chapter 1 My Ideal Man

There's a classic line that goes something like this:

"My ideal man is a peerless hero who will one day come to marry me, clad in golden armor and riding on a cloud of seven colors."

Zuo You had heard this line a long time ago, but she never expected it.

That one day, her ideal man would come hurtling past her on a dog.

At this moment, Qiao Yu was equally speechless, only able to hear the whistling wind rushing past his ears.

The Hellhound dragged him who-knows-how-far. This damned dog seemed tireless, running forward for all it was worth.

Qiao Yu barely managed to open his eyes and saw a seething blood pool in front of him.

He remembered Yi You saying that this was the first valley of the Seventh Hell, the Blood Pool Hell.

Qiao Yu was shocked.

Had this damned dog dragged him all the way from the Third Hell to the Seventh Hell?

Qiao Yu's expression grew increasingly strange. Wasn't this Hellhound going to drag him straight to the Underworld Palace?

As if to confirm his fears, the Hellhound didn't stop at all after reaching the Seventh Hell.

It dragged Qiao Yu onward, the seething blood pool unable to harm the Hellhound in the slightest, as it hurtled across the pool.

Soon, a dark black palace shimmering with a faint moon glow appeared before Qiao Yu.

The palace exuded a solemn and ancient aura, making Qiao Yu feel somewhat terrified.

Was this the Underworld Palace?

Moreover, as soon as he arrived here, the black cross on his chest suddenly began to radiate a warm sensation.

Qiao Yu turned and pulled it out, seeing the black cross emitting a faint light, vaguely corresponding to the light of the Underworld Palace.

Screech!

Upon reaching the front of the palace, the Hellhound suddenly stopped.

It raised its three heads and whimpered softly.

Like an ordinary, aggrieved puppy begging for its owner's pity.

As it whimpered, the light on the palace began to flicker on and off.

Then, a beam of light shot onto the Hellhound.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

After being illuminated by the light, the Hellhound's already huge body began to slowly swell again.

The veins on its three necks bulged as it burst the black iron chains directly.

Qiao Yu's scalp went numb. No wonder this damned dog wanted to bring him here; it turned out it had been hiding this trick up its sleeve!

"Woof!" x3

The three dog heads let out an angry roar, throwing Qiao Yu off its back.

At this moment, the Hellhound was even more ferocious than before, its six eyes filled with bloodthirsty ferocity.

Its originally smooth fur now stood on end like terrifying steel needles.

It swatted a paw down at Qiao Yu, who propped up his fists to resist with all his strength.

Bang!

With one paw, half of Qiao Yu's body was smashed into the rock.

Qiao Yu struck the Hellhound's paw with a chop, but instead, he was pricked by the steel fur on its body, leaving him covered in blood.

Qiao Yu's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. How was he supposed to fight this?

This dog was cheating!

The Hellhound wouldn't give him so much time to react. It had just been choked by Qiao Yu for so long, and it was now full of anger.

Its middle head opened its big mouth and bit down at Qiao Yu.

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!"

Qiao Yu's eyes flashed, and through the Hellhound's stinky mouth, he clearly saw a metallic glint.

Qiao Yu knew that it was his Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

Bang!

Qiao Yu took the initiative to jump out of the rock, throwing himself into the Hellhound's mouth as if he was courting death.

However, this time, the Hellhound had learned its lesson. After swallowing Qiao Yu with its middle head, it immediately tilted its head back and opened its mouth wide.

Then, the left head stretched out its neck and spat a mouthful of purple pus inside.

The middle head swallowed hard and closed its eyes contentedly.

It was confident in its venom. Surely, that kid wouldn't be able to cause trouble in its stomach this time, right? That's what the Hellhound thought.

It burped and howled respectfully towards the palace before preparing to return to the Third Hell.

But after taking only two steps, the Hellhound suddenly felt an unbearable pain in its abdomen.

"Woof!"

This time, its cry was clearly filled with a hint of panic. It didn't know what was happening.

Screech!

A golden light tore through the Hellhound's stomach, followed by a second and a third.

Countless golden lights directly pierced the Hellhound's body into a sieve.

"Ooo Woof!"

The Hellhound rolled around on the ground in pain, its huge body shaking the nearby stone walls.

Whoosh!

A figure shot out of the Hellhound's abdomen in a "休" shape.

It was none other than Qiao Yu, carrying the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

The Hellhound's venom had completely corroded the clothes on his body, leaving only the Mad Spider Armor on his upper body.

His lower body was naked, and he held only a golden broadsword in his hand.

Joy couldn't be contained in Qiao Yu’s eyes. Clearly, the equipment upgrade stone had given him quite a surprise.

At this moment, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade was already a B-grade equipment.

No, perhaps it should be called the Golden Dragon Crescent Blade now.

However, looking at the enchanting effect brought by the equipment upgrade stone, Qiao Yu couldn't help but awkwardly scratch his nose.

【Golden Dragon Crescent Blade】:

Grade: B-grade

Effect: When attacking, if the opponent dodges, the Dragon's Roar Combo will be triggered with 100% probability, triggering a dazzling golden dragon effect.

【Dragon's Roar Combo】: When the player's attack is blocked, the next attack will be automatically launched, increasing the damage value by 5%. (This skill can be stacked infinitely.)

Enchantment: Damage to opposite-sex creatures increased by 20%.

He, Qiao Yu, never hits women. This enchantment effect was useless to him!

Oh well, Qiao Yu shook his head. The most urgent task was to deal with the Hellhound in front of him.

"It's one thing to swallow me once, but you dare to swallow me a second time. Are you really not afraid of death?"

Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes.

The Hellhound lay quietly on the ground, as if it was already dead.

But Qiao Yu didn't relax at all because the Otherworld System didn't give him a kill notification.

This meant that the dog wasn't dead yet!

He hadn't forgotten that after killing one of the Hellhound's heads at the Gate of Hell, the head had later revived.

Seeing that Qiao Yu wasn't fooled, the Hellhound stopped pretending and revealed its hand. It stood up and growled angrily.

Its originally riddled abdomen was also slowly healing.

Qiao Yu sized up the Hellhound. He believed that the dog must have a weakness. If the dog was immortal, then there was no point in fighting.

He might as well just be eaten by the Hellhound and become dog poop.

"Three heads? Three heads?"

Qiao Yu suddenly thought of the island nation whose people were doing well. They had a legend of an eight-headed serpent.

If one of the eight-headed serpent's heads was cut off, it would quickly grow back and revive again.

The only way to kill the eight-headed serpent was to cut off all eight heads at the same time with lightning speed.

Could it be that the Hellhound was the same?

To kill this Hellhound, you had to cut off all three of its heads at the same time?
