Chapter 158: Demon Dog!

Swoosh!

Lu Tianyu put away the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, his body descending rapidly.

There was no need to think; it was definitely Cui Jinjia causing the commotion below.

Boom, boom, boom~

A series of booming sounds rang out continuously; it must be that Cui Jinjia had encountered something and a great battle had broken out.

As he descended, the demonic Qi became increasingly dense.

Yet, Lu Tianyu's eyes were filled with excitement: "There must still be members of the Demon Race below. If only they were special Demon Race members; if Cui Jinjia kills them, I can collect them and slowly refine them."

But the next second, his expression changed.

The booming, thunderous sounds were drawing closer, along with angry roars and a woman's shouts.

"Cui Jinjia is losing the fight against the thing below; is she being chased out?"

As soon as the thought arose, Cui Jinjia's golden figure appeared in his line of sight.

She was seen slashing out with her blade before turning to retreat upward.

At this moment, her expression was extremely ugly, and her figure was in a sorry state.

Clearly, she could not defeat the thing below and was fighting while retreating.

Lu Tianyu looked behind Cui Jinjia and was immediately shocked.

A pitch-black thing, twice the size of Cui Jinjia, was seen charging straight toward her body.

Up close, he saw it clearly.

It was a canine animal; its head, body, and limbs were no different from the common dogs kept at home.

Only, this fellow was a bit large, its mouth was pointed, and its eyes were crimson red, looking very terrifying.

This fellow was hairless, its surface covered in scales the size of copper coins.

Bang!

Cui Jinjia slashed her Golden Blade against the fellow's body, emitting a loud clanging sound.

Something that shocked Lu Tianyu happened: Cui Jinjia's Golden Blade was actually sent flying, and her figure retreated violently.

Conversely, this fellow was completely fine.

It seemed as if it wasn't a great blade that had struck it, but a wooden stick.

"Young Master, run!"

"This fellow's defense is too monstrous; I can't move it at all."

Only then did Cui Jinjia notice Lu Tianyu not far above, staring blankly without running.

Just now, she had followed the cave all the way down, killing quite a few small demonic creatures, and had not discovered any powerful demonic creatures.

She hadn't encountered Lu Tianyu along the way, so she continued searching downward, killing those demonic creatures along the way.

But just as she reached the bottom of the cave, a black shadow rushed over from below.

She directly brandished her battle blade and fought the black shadow.

After a few exchanges, her arm was numbed by the vibrations, and the blood in her body was surging.

Cui Jinjia secretly thought it was bad and turned to run.

But this fellow chased relentlessly, and its speed was extremely fast; Cui Jinjia couldn't shake it off at all.

She could only fight while retreating!

Cui Jinjia was very puzzled; both were at the early Great Vehicle Stage, so why couldn't she beat this fellow!

At this moment, she only hoped that Lu Tianyu had already left the cave, but she didn't expect him to be waiting here, and even staring foolishly at the monster without moving.

Clang, clang, clang!

Cui Jinjia slashed out several times with great force, grabbed Lu Tianyu's arm, and prepared to take him away.

But the next second, she was stunned.

Lu Tianyu was seen staring blankly at the monster, and the monster was also staring straight at Lu Tianyu, motionless.

Lu Tianyu's small eyes stared at the monster's large eyes, as if he were possessed.

Cui Jinjia secretly thought it was bad; at this critical moment, Lu Tianyu had been controlled by this fellow's soul, so what was to be done?

But the next second, an even more shocking thing happened.

The violent aura on the monster's body suddenly retracted, its crimson eyes became pitch-black and gentle, and then it let out a puppy-like "ao-ao" sound toward Lu Tianyu.

It lowered its head and wagged its tail, completely in the manner of a puppy seeing its master.

What she didn't know was that Lu Tianyu was also in a state of confusion at this moment.

However, he quickly thought of the cause of the matter; the eye and Eye Membrane he had just refined should have been the eyes of this dog's master.

He could clearly feel that his aura was the same as this dog's; this fellow was lowering its head and wagging its tail, showing its loyalty.

Lu Tianyu immediately smiled: "Doggy, come here!"

Cui Jinjia, however, screamed: "Young Master, you must not!"

"This is a Demon Dog, the most ferocious evil dog among the Demon Race!"

But Lu Tianyu smiled and shook his head: "Senior, do not worry. From now on, I am its master."

"Senior, I just refined a treasure from its master's body, and it has mistaken the treasure for its master."

Cui Jinjia's mouth opened wide upon hearing this: "You, how did you refine it?"

"It is a Demon Dog, and its master was also a Demon Person. Could it be that you, you are..."

She wanted to ask if Lu Tianyu was a Demon Person, but she stopped there.

The righteous aura on Lu Tianyu was very strong, without a trace of demonic Qi; how could he be a Demon Person?

But what on earth was going on?

She could not figure it out no matter how she thought about it.

However, she vaguely guessed that it must be related to the treasure on Lu Tianyu.

Lu Tianyu stroked the Demon Dog's head: "Maybe it's because my character exploded."

Cui Jinjia curled her lips: "Only a ghost would believe you!"

"Let's go, this place is not suitable for a long stay!"

"Alright!"

One hour later, Lu Tianyu and Cui Jinjia appeared in the main hall of Kulu Zong.

According to Lu Tianyu's request, the Demon Dog turned into the size of a newborn baby, wagging its tail and circling around Lu Tianyu.

It even jumped up and down from time to time, leaping onto Lu Tianyu's shoulders, his head...

Who would have thought that this little dog was a Demon Dog that even she, at the Great Vehicle Stage, could not defeat.

This guy looked just like a common dog, with not a trace of demonic Qi exposed on its body.

Cui Jinjia's mind was booming, and she could never calm down.

She tried her best to suppress her excitement: "Young Master Lu, what should we do now?"

With this Demon Dog, she felt that her status as a Protector was threatened.

No, she must improve her strength as soon as possible; she could not let this Demon Dog outshine her.

As soon as the words left her mouth, she remembered that she had come chasing after Zong Tianling's divine soul: "Young Master Lu, I was chasing a..."

She recounted what had just happened and frowned: "I chased all the way here and found nothing."

Lu Tianyu's expression also became grave: "There is still space below the Demon Cave; if it's not above, it must have run below. Should we go down and take a look?"

Once these words were spoken, Cui Jinjia immediately shook her head: "Forget it, it's too dangerous down there. One Demon Dog is already powerful enough; if we run into even greater trouble, it will be a big problem."

Although the Demon Dog had been subdued by Lu Tianyu, she still dared not go down.

Lu Tianyu thought for a moment: "We should still go down and take a look."

"To cut weeds, one must remove the roots. That guy is from the Netherworld Sect, and letting him escape will have serious consequences."

"Besides, with this little guy following us, we have nothing to fear."

He reached out and stroked the Demon Dog's head.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo!"

The Demon Dog barked, as if responding to Lu Tianyu.

Cui Jinjia gritted her teeth: "Alright!"

"We must be careful; if we encounter danger, we must retreat."
