Peerless War God

"Oh ~ ~ ~"    

The Hell Hound, who was standing at a high place, raised its head and let out a long howl, which was extremely terrifying.    

Chen Xiao could tell at a glance that it was calling out to its companions. This howl was too familiar.    

The Third Prince also had a dark expression on his face. He was very nervous, and even clenched his right fist in fear. He asked, "This sound is obviously a wolf's howl. Why is it called a dog?"    

Chen Xiao turned his head and glared at him. When the Third Prince saw this, he immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything more.    

Chen Xiao's face was dark as he said sternly, "This howl is calling out to its companions. It seems that there is definitely more than one Hell Hound. Although the Hell Hound's strength is ordinary, it is still an immortal-level creature. If it gets entangled with it, it will be very troublesome."    

"Ah, it is actually an immortal-level demon beast? This …"    

When the Third Prince heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief. He felt a little ashamed in his heart.    

He never thought that one day, he would be inferior to a dog. His strength was only at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcender Realm, but the dog in front of him was an immortal-level creature. He was inferior to a dog in real life.    

"Let's go."    

Chen Xiao could not be bothered with the thoughts in the Third Prince's heart. He shouted and turned to leave. He was not the kind of person who would sit and wait for death.    

It was obvious that this Hell Hound had discovered the two of them, but it did not immediately pounce on them. Instead, it chose to summon other Hell Hounds. This meant that this Hell Hound's intelligence was not low, and it was very difficult to deal with.    

Under such circumstances, it was naturally better to run away.    

When the Third Prince saw this, he took a deep breath and tried his best to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind so as to not affect his mental state.    

The two of them ran for a thousand miles and stopped at a mountain.    

Chen Xiao's face darkened as he quickly scanned his surroundings with his Divine Sense. He muttered, "This time, we should be able to get rid of this hellhound."    

The Third Prince took a deep breath and calmed his breathing. He replied, "That's for sure. We ran so fast that I almost used all my strength. No matter how powerful this dog is, it won't be able to catch up."    

Logically speaking, that was indeed the case.    

Chen Xiao made the decision to run away. He was very decisive and did not hesitate at all. When he saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and left, not giving the hellhound any chance to catch up.    

Chen Xiao turned around and glared at him when he heard this. "You have a little crow's beak."    

"Ah?" The Third Prince was stunned and quickly said, "What? It won't chase us anymore, right? How is that possible?"    

He simply could not imagine how this hellhound could do it if it really chased them.    

At this time, Chen Xiao spread out his Divine Sense and saw a hellhound running at a low altitude. Its four limbs were jumping around, and its speed was extremely fast. It was not inferior to a cultivator's flying technique at all.    

The hellhound's eyes were filled with ferocity as it chased after them relentlessly. It was not far from Chen Xiao. It was only about three hundred miles away. At such a distance, it would be able to arrive in a short while.    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao could not help but curse, "Damn it, it's really haunting."    

In the Sea of Soul, Xi Luo laughed and said, "You should feel lucky. Only this hellhound is chasing after you. If there were two more, you wouldn't even have the chance to resist."    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao thought about it, "Xi Luo, where did this hellhound come from? Why would it appear in this secret realm?"    

Xi Luo pondered for a moment and said, "If we follow our previous guess, this place is a prison built by some powerful expert to imprison other cultivators. If that's the case, then this hellhound is in charge of guarding the door."    

Chen Xiao nodded. He also agreed with this guess, but there was one thing that he was most puzzled about.    

"Tell me, is the powerful expert who built this secret realm dead or alive?"    

Chen Xiao asked.    

Xi Luo's heart skipped a beat. His eyes widened, "What do you mean?"    

Chen Xiao laughed, and his expression became strange as he said, "If I'm not wrong, this powerful expert who created this secret realm should have died a long time ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many outsiders to enter the secret realm without any reaction."    

When Xi Luo heard this, he nodded and said, "That's reasonable. If that mysterious powerful expert was still alive, he would have long discovered us. Just a single finger would be enough to crush us all to death. How could he still be alive?"    

Chen Xiao's face was solemn as he nodded his head vigorously to express his agreement.    

Although Xilo's words were unpleasant, they were the truth.    

The existence of the Hellhound was definitely something that appeared out of thin air. Someone must have raised it, and there must be someone controlling it from behind the scenes.    

However, the Hellhound had discovered him, but it did not take any further action. This meant that the original owner of this secret realm was no longer here.    

These Hellhounds were only acting according to some kind of instinct, searching for outsiders like them.    

If that was the case, there might be a chance to deal with the Hellhound.    

Thinking of this, he looked at the Third Prince and started to make plans in his heart.    

After being stared at, the Third Prince was so scared that his entire body trembled. His face turned pale, thinking that Chen Xiao was going to attack him.    

"Brother Chen Xiao, what do you want to do? I..."    

Chen Xiao smiled eerily. "What if I tell you to lure this Hellhound here?"    

"Ah?"    

When the Third Prince heard this, his legs went weak and he directly sat on the ground. "Brother Chen Xiao, aren't you scaring me? I'm only at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcender Realm, and this Hellhound is an immortal-level demon beast. How can I be its opponent? If I lure it away, wouldn't I just be sending myself to death? Brother Chen Xiao..."    

The Third Prince's face was filled with grief, and he looked very pitiful. He had been scared quite a bit.    

Chen Xiao chuckled and patted the Third Prince's shoulder, helping him up.    

"I was just kidding, I was just saying."    

"Hu ~" The Third Prince finally let out a long breath, his face full of resentment, "Brother Chen Xiao, you scared me to death. I really thought you were going to let me lure the hellhound away."    

Chen Xiao's face darkened, and he said again, "But I have an idea."    

"Ah, what idea?" The Third Prince exclaimed.    

"You can see that this hellhound is persistent. If it continues to chase us, it won't be a solution."    

"So?"    

"So I plan to lure the hellhound over and use a trap to kill it, so that there will be no future troubles." Chen Xiao said.    

Hearing that, the Third Prince's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a shocked expression, "Kill it? Are you sure, Brother Chen Xiao?"    

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, then said, "If it's only this one hellhound, I have full confidence."    

The Third Prince heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't think Chen Xiao would boast. Since he dared to say that, he must have a certain amount of confidence.    

He nodded his head and said, "Alright, I believe you. But what can I do?"    

"The things you can do are very simple. In a while, I will lure the hellhound over. You will stand at a high place and pay attention to the movements around you, in case other demonic beasts or cultivators come close. Do you understand?"    

Chen Xiao said.
