Chapter 122: How did they get in?!

"Good! We'll stay right here!"

Zhang Yi waved his hand and walked over first.

Jubiao and the Pterosaur followed closely behind, while Nudi followed slowly at the very back, looking completely uninterested.

Zhang Yi and the others found a comfortable spot and began to rest.

Jubiao and the Pterosaur practiced their cultivation separately, absorbing the rich spiritual energy in the surroundings.

Nudi, however, played with her fingers in boredom.

She stole a glance at Zhang Yi from time to time, secretly complaining to herself: This guy really has the potential to be a charlatan.

The two little ones, Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon, could not sit still.

After eating and drinking their fill, they began to scurry around and play hide-and-seek.

These two little ones—one covered in fur like a little fuzzball, the other slippery like a little loach—ran off in a flash and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It is unknown how much time had passed when the two little ones actually ran to the entrance of the Hexinquyu.

The entrance to the Hexinquyu was a barrier formed by condensed spiritual energy, emitting a faint fluorescent glow.

Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon stared curiously at the barrier and reached out their little claws to poke it.

The spiritual energy on the barrier fluctuated, sending out ripples in circles.

This movement startled the Demon Beasts outside who were practicing with their eyes closed.

"What's going on?"

"It seems like something touched the barrier!"

"Could someone have gone inside?"

The Demon Beasts opened their eyes one after another and looked toward the direction of the barrier.

They saw two tiny figures standing inside the barrier, making faces at them.

"Damn! What is that?"

Xiong Batian widened his eyes and rubbed them in disbelief, "How did these two little things get inside?"

The Red Flame Tiger was also stunned and hurriedly looked at the Great Demon of the Demon Saint Mansion: "Venerable one, didn't you just say that even we would need to cultivate for a year before we could enter? How can these two little things get in?"

The Great Demons of the Demon Saint Mansion were also stunned, and they observed Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon carefully.

"This... this is impossible!"

A Great Demon exclaimed, "Could these two little ones be..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the little earth dragon suddenly open its mouth and spray a beam of earthy yellow light at the barrier.

That beam of light actually pierced a small hole directly through the barrier!

"Holy crap! This little thing can actually break through the barrier!"

Xiong Batian exclaimed, his eyes nearly popping out.

The other Demon Beasts began to discuss it as well, all of them incredibly excited.

"What exactly is the origin of these two little things?"

"Could they be descendants of some divine beast?"

"If we could follow them inside, wouldn't we be able to ascend to the heavens in a single step?"

Just as the Demon Beasts were discussing, Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon had already squeezed out of that small hole and scurried right in front of Xiong Batian.

Xiong Batian looked at these two little ones and forgot to react for a moment.

The little earth dragon raised its head and grinned at Xiong Batian, revealing two rows of sharp little teeth.

Then, it reached out its little claw and tapped lightly on Xiong Batian's sleek, oily belly.

"Smack!"

A crisp sound rang out, exceptionally loud in the silent night sky.

A deep indentation was actually left on Xiong Batian's belly from the little earth dragon's single claw strike!

"Awoo!"

Xiong Batian let out a miserable shriek, clutched his belly, and collapsed to the ground, in agonizing pain.

The surrounding Demon Beasts were all dumbfounded.

This... this little thing actually knocked Xiong Batian down with one claw?

This is just too unbelievable!

Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon high-fived each other as if they had succeeded.

The earthy smell on the little earth dragon's claw smeared all over Xiao Pu's fur, and Xiao Pu shook its head in disgust.

Then the two little ones nimbly squeezed back into the small hole in the barrier and returned inside.

At first, Xiong Batian had completely disregarded these two furry, slippery little things.

In his view, these two little things were like two specks of dust; what threat could they possibly pose?

He was currently immersed in shock—these two little things could actually break through the barrier!

This was even more rare than a sow climbing a tree!

Therefore, when the little earth dragon left a claw print on his belly, he hadn't even reacted yet.

The sharp pain coming from his belly brought him back to his senses, and Xiong Batian clutched his stomach, sweating from the pain.

Only then did he realize that he had been played by these two little things!

He was burning with rage, his brain racing—why did these two little things... hit him?

Who did he offend?

Wait... these two little things, it seems like he has seen them somewhere before...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he remembered!

Aren't these two little things just the two little trinkets that follow that person named Zhang Yi around!

He was furious, waving his massive bear paw and smashing it fiercely toward the barrier.

He fantasized about shattering the barrier with a single punch, then rushing in to tear Zhang Yi and those two little things into shreds.

However, reality slapped him hard in the face.

With a loud "Bang!"

Xiong Batian was rebounded by the barrier.

He flew out like a tattered sack, slammed heavily onto the ground, and crushed a few small demons that hadn't had time to dodge.

"Ouch! My old back!"

Xiong Batian let out a miserable scream and struggled to climb up from the ground, his body covered in mud and blood, looking utterly disheveled.

He shook the dust off his body and walked back, looking bedraggled, feeling incredibly stifled inside.

Several Great Demons from the Demon Saint Mansion had also stood up by this time; their expressions were grave, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

They had just seen with their own eyes these two little fellows break through the barrier, which simply overturned their understanding.

"You... how did you get in?"

A Great Demon pointed at Xiao Pu and the Earth Dragon, his tone carrying a trace of trembling.

Xiao Pu and the Earth Dragon looked at each other, then simultaneously stuck out their tongues and made faces at the several Great Demons, refusing to say a word.

They ran around the several Great Demons, playing and frolicking as if deliberately provoking them.

"Little things! Don't be too arrogant!"

Another Great Demon shouted angrily, wanting to make a move to grab these two little fellows.

However, the speed of Xiao Pu and the Earth Dragon was astonishing; they shuttled between the several Great Demons like two bolts of lightning, impossible to catch.

After they had played enough, the two little fellows slipped into the depths of the barrier and disappeared.

The several Great Demons looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do for a moment.

They had never seen such a bizarre event; what exactly was the background of these two little fellows?

The Scarlet Flame Tiger was the first to react.

"The two of them are with the Wangri Bird; could it be... that those birds have all entered the Hexinquyu?"

As the words fell.

All the Demon Beasts were stunned.

For a moment, the heated discussion was about to flip the sky.

"Impossible! Even the Great Demons of the Demon Saint Mansion can't get in, how could those few birds possibly get in!"
