Peerless War God

He took a step forward and patted the Third Prince's shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, unless I have no other choice, I won't abandon you. But if that moment comes, don't blame me."    

Hearing that, the Third Prince forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "With Brother Chen Xiao's words, I feel at ease."    

After a pause, the Third Prince continued, "I wonder what Brother Chen Xiao plans to do next?"    

"Plans?"    

"That's right. The underground cave this time has a lot of gains. Logically speaking, we should be able to go back directly. But now, it's been more than a year, and there are still nine years before we can go out."    

The Third Prince said in a deep voice.    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao nodded, "That's right. But for safety's sake, let's just wait. Nine years is not much."    

The Third Prince nodded. Although he was a little unwilling, since Chen Xiao had said so, he could only do as he said.    

The only thing he had gained from this trip was a Wind Metal Stone. Compared to Chen Xiao, it was naturally much worse. But if he could return safely, it would be a great fortune.    

At this moment, a series of strange footsteps approached.    

Chen Xiao and the Third Prince were shocked, "Not good, there's someone?"    

He suddenly turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw a demonic beast in the air outside the valley, its eyes blood-red, as if it was dripping blood, staring at the two of them fiercely.    

This demonic beast looked like a ferocious dog. It was thin, and its skin was dark. It was covered with fangs, and its limbs were long and slender. Its claws were like sharp blades, and it was extremely shocking.    

"A dog demon? What kind of monster is this?" The Third Prince was shocked when he saw it.    

"..." Chen Xiao was shocked and stared at the other party.    

One had to know that he had deliberately set up the Three Extremes Heaven Trap Formation outside the valley and a concealment formation. It would not be detected by ordinary demonic beasts, unless it was a cultivator who came here.    

"This is a hellhound. Legend has it that it is a terrifying demonic beast that guards the gates of hell. Any living creature that approaches it will be detected by it."    

Xiluo said in his soul sea.    

"What? Hellhound? I have never heard of it before. How strong is this hellhound?" Chen Xiao frowned and asked.    

"Hellhound's strength is very ordinary. Among the demonic beasts of the same level, it is almost unranked. The strength of this hellhound is in tracking and finding people. No living creature can escape its detection. However, even though its strength is ordinary, it has reached the immortal level. It's not much weaker than the demonic beasts I encountered before."    

Xiluo said slowly.    

When Chen Xiao heard this, his scalp went numb. "Then why did this hellhound appear in the secret realm?"    

Xiluo spread out his hands and said, "How would I know if you ask me? This secret realm is extremely strange. The underground cave trap you encountered before was obviously deliberately set up by someone. It is not surprising for a hellhound to appear here."    

"This..." Chen Xiao's eyes quickly turned as he stared at the hellhound and observed its next move.    

At this time, Xi Luo said again, "But I forgot to tell you that these hellhounds usually appear in groups. Usually, there won't be only one."    

"What? You should have said so earlier." Chen Xiao turned pale with fright and his expression changed.    

Without a word, he grabbed the Third Prince's hand and turned to leave. At this time, the Third Prince was still in a daze, not knowing what had happened.    

"Brother Chen Xiao, what's going on?" The Third Prince shouted.    

"Quickly go, don't ask."    

Chen Xiao grabbed the Third Prince's hand and with a flash, he quickly escaped from this place. He didn't even want the formation disk, afraid that if he was a step late, he would be tangled up with the hellhound.    

He even used up his mana and used a few teleportations consecutively, trying to pull away from the hellhound as far as possible.    

At this time, the Third Prince also noticed that something was wrong and did not dare to say anything.    

"Hellhounds usually have owners. They won't appear in this place for no reason. It's better to be careful."    

Xi Luo reminded.    

Chen Xiao's heart trembled, "So, this hellhound is really being raised by someone to guard the house?"    

"Yes, it is obvious that this secret realm recognizes you as outsiders. If you are targeted by the hellhound, the consequences are hard to predict." Xi Luo said.    

Chen Xiao's face sank, "It seems that I have to be careful and avoid it. As long as I don't meet it, it should be fine."    

At this time, the Third Prince could not help but ask, "Brother Chen Xiao, what kind of demon beast is that? Why does it look like a dog?"    

"It's a dog. It's called Hellhound, and it's good at tracking living creatures. If we get tangled up by it, it will be troublesome."    

Chen Xiao said coldly.    

"Ah?" The Third Prince was also shocked, but he was very confused. He asked, "But where did this Hellhound come from? Why haven't I seen it before?"    

"Maybe it's because we entered the secret realm and startled these Hellhounds," Chen Xiao said.    

"Hiss ~" The Third Prince couldn't help but take a deep breath. "So that's how it is. Then what should we do?"    

"Let's hide. What else can we do?" Chen Xiao said.    

"En, that's the only way."    

Immediately, as the two of them escaped from the danger zone and could no longer see the Hellhound, Chen Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.    

"It's good that the Hellhound didn't chase us. This secret realm is more dangerous than I imagined. There are actually demon beasts like Hellhounds."    

"It's better to be safe than sorry. No wonder so many cultivators died when they entered, and very few were able to escape. This Hellhound is too terrifying."    

The Third Prince said with a face full of fear.    

Chen Xiao agreed with this. If it wasn't for his Spatial Teleportation, it would not be so easy to get rid of the Hellhound.    

"Then what should we do now?" The Third Prince asked.    

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, "Safety first. Let's take one step at a time. Let's return to the place where we teleported before and make a decision."    

"Yes."    

Thus, the two of them did not stop. They carefully returned to the way they came. At the same time, they had to pay attention to the possible demonic beasts that might appear.    

After a few days, the two of them arrived at a tall mountain peak. Their field of vision was excellent, and they could see very far away.    

"If I remember correctly, this place is very close to the teleportation channel," the Third Prince said in a low voice.    

"Yes, let's wait here first," Chen Xiao said.    

He scanned his surroundings with his Spiritual Sense and found nothing unusual. He then took out a formation flag and prepared to set up a concealment formation to prevent any accidents.    

At this moment, the two of them had gained quite a lot. They did not want to cause any more trouble, so it was better for them to leave safely.    

"I hope we don't meet any more demonic beasts," the Third Prince muttered in a low voice.    

However, sometimes it was like this. The more scared one was, the more they would encounter something.    

"Oh ~ ~ ~"    

A loud and clear cry interrupted the movements of the two of them, causing them to stiffen. Their expressions were extremely ugly.    

"It's the hellhound," the Third Prince said in a shocked voice.    

Chen Xiao clenched his fists and cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, why did we still be discovered? We clearly didn't find any traces of the hellhound just now. How could this be?"    

"It's the wind."    

"Wind?"    

"The wind will spread the smell of people extremely far, and the hellhound will immediately notice it," Xilo said.    

"..." Chen Xiao.
