MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 605 - 93: The Rootless Netherworld (Part 6)

Although the lion was a herbivorous demon beast, it didn’t hinder its high status within the Hades Palace. It sped along the way, and any hunting demon beasts that saw it from afar would also make way, not daring to contend with it.

"You’re quite impressive," Lu Hong patted the lion’s nape, eliciting a roll of the eyes from it.

Under the lion’s protection, Lu Hong successfully completed half of the journey.

As they approached closer to the central area of the palace, the fog became thicker, and visibility dropped significantly.

Lu Hong jumped off the back of the lion and said, "Thanks!"

The lion paid no heed to Lu Hong and turned to leave.

A moment later, it turned its head and barked twice at Lu Hong, as if warning him to be cautious.

Nodding, Lu Hong watched the lion leave before getting to his feet and entering the tunnel.

The chilling breath became more oppressive as he went deeper, almost freezing Lu Hong. He had to stimulate his blood energy to protect his body and continue moving forward.

After walking for two hours, Lu Hong had not encountered a single palace demon beast. The silence around was eerily terrifying.

After a while, Lu Hong noticed scattered human bones on the tunnel floor.

There were numerous bones, almost covering the path ahead.

From the appearance of the bones, it was easy to deduce that they were human remains.

"Why are there so many human deaths in the palace?" Lu Hong crouched down and examined the bones.

These bones were fragmented and broken. Yet when Lu Hong squeezed them with force, he felt their immense sturdiness.

The owners of these bones must have been formidable beings with incredible physiques, possibly even Demigods or higher. They were likely exploded by forces far superior to their own physical strength, scattering their bones all over the place.

"How long ago was this battle?" Lu Hong had no forensic knowledge, so he couldn’t make an accurate deduction, but these bones weren’t recent.

So... was the killer who slew these strong beings still alive? Still roaming this area of the palace?

Lu Hong wasn’t sure, but for Nono’s sake, he must delve deeper into the palace and give it a try!

Suddenly, a cat’s meow echoed from the deep, dim tunnel.

Immediately after, a second sound, a third sound... countless meows filled the tunnel, getting closer rapidly.

Lu Hong dared not be careless; he swiftly activated his divine eyes. Through the dense fog, he saw a huge group of rats emitting the meowing sounds.

These rats were numerous, almost filling the entire tunnel, attacking towards Lu Hong.

The power of the War Holy Sword suddenly unfolded, and the Heaven Slaying Skill was activated under Lu Hong’s control.

A blood-red giant sword slashed fiercely at the rat swarm.

With a loud noise, the swarm was shredded by the bloody tide.

It seemed that these rats weren’t individually strong, but their sheer numbers were overwhelming.

The tunnel cleared by the power of the War Holy Sword was quickly filled up again by the rats that followed.

Having assessed the basic strength of the rats, Lu Hong grew bolder. He wielded his dual swords and advanced head-on, with both blades whipping up a bloodbath, slaughtering the approaching rats.

The rat swarm was like an endless sea. Lu Hong, pushing against the current, found each step exceptionally challenging.

Surrounded by rats, even the swiftest movements had their weaknesses. Within half an hour, Lu Hong’s back was a bloody mess.

The rats’ fangs were extraordinarily sharp, capable of tearing off chunks of flesh with each bite.

Bearing the intense pain, he kept moving deeper. Lu Hong did not rashly activate Bloodthirst Capability; the palace’s demon beasts were too bizarre. Although he could absorb their power for his own use, was it possible that their strange blood energy could pose unpredictable threats to him?

Enduring the attacks of the rats, Lu Hong fought nearly a day’s worth of battles. The flesh on his back was completely gnawed away, exposing chilling white bones, and his front was equally wounded.

Although Lu Hong’s blood energy was still abundant, there seemed to be no end to the rat swarm.

With no choice left, Lu Hong had to open up the steel fortress and hide inside for a brief respite.

Blessed with the bloodline of the lion’s heart, his wounds healed at a visually perceptible rate.

The rat’s attacks pounded on the fortress like a relentless downpour.

This couldn’t continue. Lu Hong took a deep breath, switched to the War Holy Sword, and knew he had to break through the swarm at the highest speed without becoming entangled. frёeωebɳovel.com

Crouching down, his sword intent began to gather.

To break through the swarm smoothly, Lu Hong accumulated power for a full ten minutes.

The moment he retrieved the steel fortress, he flashed and activated "Extreme Flash."

Silver gray Sword Qi burst forth.

The Sword Qi struck the wall of Hades Palace, leaving behind a shallow white sword mark, which truly showed the incredible defensive capability of the blue sheer stones.

As for the mouse horde, they did not have such strong defenses and were easily torn apart by the Sword Qi, turning into a mist of blood.

Under the powerful penetration of the extreme flash, the passage in the center of the mouse horde was cleared; using the ability of the Divine Eye, Lu Hong saw the end of this tunnel and also the end of the mouse horde.

Charge!

Heavenly God descended and the Lion King arrived; both top states activated simultaneously, transforming into a streak of light, rushing towards the end of the tunnel.

At the same time, more mice poured in from branches on both sides of the main path, and the passage that was cut open by the extreme flash was quickly submerged back under the mice.

However, this time, Lu Hong felt confident. Although the end of the tunnel was very far, at least Lu Hong saw hope, the hope of breaking through the mouse horde.

The battle continued unabated for three solid days.

After slashing the last mouse that stood before him, Lu Hong finally walked out of the tunnel.

However, it was not yet time to rest. Behind Lu Hong, the vast army of mice still surged towards him.

Lu Hong walked briskly and soon turned into another tunnel.

A two-headed tiger was lying asleep at the entrance of the tunnel.

Upon hearing the noise, it raised its head and looked at Lu Hong with four eyes full of confusion, and asked, "Human?"

"Yes," Lu Hong nodded, gripping the War Holy Sword tightly, not daring to relax at all. The area that even lions dared not enter must be extremely dangerous.

"How did you get through the man-eating mouse horde?" the two-headed tiger asked curiously.

"Carved a bloody path through them."

"Hm?" The two-headed tiger grinned and said, "Just a Second Transition, yet you managed to carve a bloody path through the man-eating mice. No wonder you dared to enter Hades Palace alone."

During their conversation, countless cat cries rang out behind Lu Hong again.

The two-headed tiger’s eyes turned cold, it stood up, and a roar issued from its mouth.

Upon hearing the two-headed tiger’s roar, the mouse horde seemed startled and retreated swiftly, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Holy shit? Another natural enemy?

The predator-prey relationships among the Hades Palace’s demon beasts were really obvious, and it made one wonder what kind of demon beast the two-headed tiger’s natural enemy would be.

After dispersing the mouse horde, the two-headed tiger lay back down in its original position and spoke to Lu Hong, "It’s been a long time since any humans have entered here, but the rules can’t change. You must answer my question correctly, and also pose a question that can stump me. Only then can you enter the tunnel behind me."

"Go ahead and ask," Lu Hong said. Not having to fight was a relief, as the two-headed tiger that could intimidate the mouse horde was undoubtedly extremely powerful. Probably unbeatable in a fight.

"Alright, listen carefully. How can you evenly divide a watermelon among five kids using only three cuts?"

"First, kill one kid with a cut, then a cross cut will do."

"Ah?!" the two-headed tiger was stunned, its four eyes wide open, "You... you..."

This question had stumped it for countless years, and now this man had answered it in an instant? How was that possible?

Seeing the two-headed tiger’s strange behavior, Lu Hong asked, "What? Did I answer wrongly?"

The two-headed tiger looked frustrated, "How did you think of that?"

"Isn’t it simple?"

"Simple?" The two-headed tiger looked very uncomfortable; it had almost lost all its fur over this question...

"Do I get it right or not?"

"Yes, yes," the two-headed tiger said helplessly. "Now you can ask me a question. If I can’t answer, you can pass through here."

"Okay," Lu Hong nodded. Although he wasn’t exactly a scholarly genius before his transdimensional journey, he still knew a few things. He spoke, "Do you know math?"

"Math?" the two-headed tiger tilted its head. "You mean like 1 + 1 = 2? Go ahead, that’s very simple."

"Alright, then I’ll ask you the simplest one," Lu Hong said with a smile. "Assuming rabbits have four legs and chickens have two legs, there are now 100 heads and 320 legs in total. How many chickens and how many rabbits are there?"

"Ah?"

Clearly, the two-headed tiger had never encountered such a problem and was immediately confused.

Several tiger paws shuffled for a long time, but it couldn’t count beyond ten.

Seeing the two-headed tiger’s eyes turning red from counting, Lu Hong coughed lightly, "So, can I pass now?"

"You... go ahead," the two-headed tiger said as it tilted its head at a 45° angle, tears involuntarily flowing. Clearly, it was going to spend countless years again trying to solve this math problem.
