Chapter 22: Confusing Black and White, the Xiao Hei Dog Reveals Its True Form

Watching Xiyao chase after it in a rage, Mengchen also pursued closely.

"Big Brother, wait for me! Slow down." Jinmao Shizi did not dare to fall behind, following closely the entire time.

But the crowd of living beings behind them had almost all been scared away by the screaming just moments ago.

Originally, upon hearing the scream, Jinmao Shizi had also wanted to bolt, but because the path ahead was blocked by the crowd of creatures, its legs had gone weak from fear, and it hadn't managed to run! Until now, with the creatures behind all fled and only it left in the darkness, and with Mengchen being the only one it could rely on, it was chasing after them with all its might.

Mengchen followed closely behind Xiyao; at this moment, she was ferociously intense, like a mother tiger, refusing to give up, as if swearing to catch it and teach it a lesson.

"Good thing I managed to shift the blame, though I feel bad for you, Brother Dog!"

A faint sense of guilt rose in Mengchen's heart.

"Fairy, what is wrong? Why are you chasing a little dog so relentlessly?" Turning around, the guilt faded, and Mengchen asked a question he already knew the answer to, his demeanor natural, showing no signs of a guilty conscience.

"I..."

Xiyao's face flushed; she lowered her head shyly, a blush spreading across her cheeks, stammering and unable to utter a single word.

Mengchen put on an understanding look: "Very well, since it is inconvenient for you to speak, Fairy, then we shall not speak of it."

"This little black dog dares to anger you, Fairy; its crimes are unforgivable. Watch me capture it for you, so you can vent your anger."

Mengchen did not lower his voice, and after the creature that looked like a little black dog heard him, it turned its head and spat out foul language.

"Pah! You bald scoundrel, how shameless! Not only do you frame others, but you also have to act so high and mighty."

It could actually speak human language; could it be a Primordial Remnant that entered the nest ahead of them?

At this moment, Mengchen and Xiyao were both taken by surprise.

Mengchen immediately cursed inwardly; if he let this fellow keep talking, the previous incident would surely be exposed.

"If you're a dog, act like one, what's with the human speech? Take this!"

Having said that, Mengchen struck, blasting out a Rune fist imprint.

"Bang!"

The little black dog was agile, and the fist imprint only struck the ground.

"You shameless bald scoundrel, if you have the ability, come and chase me." After dodging the attack, the little black dog issued a provocation and continued to sprint toward the depths.

"Don't let me catch you."

Mengchen shouted, then gave chase.

"Ah, this..." Xiyao's expression was dazed; what was wrong with him? Why was he inexplicably angry? Could it be because of her? Thinking of this, Xiyao's blush surged again; did he know what that little black dog had done to her?

Even so, she did not slow her pace, continuing to follow along.

Behind the two, Jinmao Shizi also followed tightly, not daring to slack off in the slightest. At the same time, it complained in its heart that Mengchen was too unreliable.

Ever since entering the nest, he had ignored it completely to chase after some little dog, not even stopping to rest for a while; it was enough to tire a lion to death.

The little black dog's seemingly simple leaps appeared to be mastering some kind of Order Power.

Every time it leaped away from the ground, it would vanish into a mass of black mist, and when it reappeared, it would jump out from a mass of black mist that suddenly emerged ahead.

Mengchen and Xiyao had also discovered this; otherwise, how could they have failed to catch up for so long?

However, just then, the little black dog stopped; it was no longer running, and it turned around to stare at Mengchen and Xiyao.

Seeing this, Mengchen stopped; where there is an anomaly, there is a demon. This little black dog might have a trap, so he hurriedly scanned his surroundings.

Sure enough, the atmosphere here was strange, and the surrounding black mist was thick.

Soon, Xiyao arrived from behind, and he blocked her, not letting her move forward.

"Bald scoundrel, you're finished, and you, brainless human girl, you're finished too."

The little black dog's voice rang out.

"You little dog, you are truly hateful." Being called brainless by a dog, Xiyao was instantly enraged and was about to charge up to teach it how to be a dog.

Mengchen raised his hand to stop her and signaled for her to observe the surroundings.

This was a huge stone platform; no rock walls were visible in the vicinity, and it was very spacious, filled with dense black mist.

"Where have we walked to?" Xiyao asked in a low voice, then suddenly realized: "Could it be that it lured us here on purpose?"

"There are hidden mysteries here? You must be careful."

Mengchen's expression was stern; he became very cautious here, paying close attention to his surroundings.

"You finally decided to wait for me." The voice of Jinmao Shizi came from behind; it had also caught up.

As soon as it arrived, it noticed the little black dog in front.

"Big Brother is truly martial; how could a mere little black dog escape your palm?" It flattered Mengchen.

Then it shook its massive head, its mane dancing, showing off its heroic spirit, and strode forward, saying imposingly: "Hmph, it's all because of you, you hateful little dog. My Big Brother is chasing you, and you actually dare to run? You truly don't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth."

"You made this lion chase you for so long, you truly deserve a beating."

Having said that, Jinmao Shizi raised its massive front paw, intending to slap the little black dog.

When the little black dog heard Jinmao Shizi's words, its anger was obvious, its little tiger teeth bared, and seeing the paw swinging down, it immediately opened its mouth and shouted! "Scram!"

This voice was mixed with a peculiar power that struck directly at the primordial spirit, causing Jinmao Shizi to instantly wither, hurriedly shrinking its head and hiding behind Mengchen, trembling in shock.

It kept muttering in its mouth: "Terrifying, truly too terrifying. This Ten Fiends nest is really not a place for a lion to come; even a little dog is so terrifying."

"I say, is it necessary to be scared like this?" Mengchen clicked his tongue; this fellow had grown so big for nothing.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing Jinmao Shizi's performance, the little black dog's laughter echoed, and it appeared very satisfied.

"It is your fortune to die at my hands; let you see my true form before you die."

As the words fell, the little black dog was suddenly wrapped in a mass of black mist, within which cyan and dark light flickered and surged from time to time.

Gradually, the black mist dissipated, and the little black dog's true form was revealed.

It had a wolf's head, and on its head grew a pair of huge, ancient-looking, greyish bovine horns.

Besides a pair of blood-red, ferocious eyes, there was a vertical eye in the center of its brow, looking extremely cruel. Its body was covered in black scales, hard and cold, shimmering like black gold. On its back grew nine tails, and at the end of each tail, it seemed as if a dragon head was growing, hideous and terrifying.

"What species is this!"

Mengchen and Xiyao were shocked; they had never seen a ferocious beast with such a peculiar appearance.

After stealing a glance for a split second, Jinmao Shizi was nearly scared to death.

Its species was powerful, and this was a pressure originating from its bloodline, making Jinmao Shizi afraid to look directly at it.

This was a young beast, seemingly having been born not long ago.

Its current size was not large, with a height of only about one meter.

"So it deliberately transformed into the appearance of a little black dog earlier to lure us here," Xiyao said.

This fiend was truly detestable, its mind actually so deep, using the excuse of her being defiled and itself as bait to lure them into a trap.

"Let's go, there is something strange about this place, I fear it is unfavorable for us." Mengchen grabbed Xiyao's arm, preparing to leave this place.

He sensed that this ferocious beast's strength was not powerful, but it was able to resonate with the surrounding black mist, which had to be guarded against.

"Thinking of leaving now, it's too late!"

The young beast's voice rang out instantly.
