Wild Dog ran along a path and flew over a hundred feet away from the Profound Fire Altar. The flames ahead were scorching, even more terrifying than a few months ago. Going any further would be like stepping into the fire, so he had to stop.
"Hall master! Something bad happened! A demon beast tide is coming! Most of our hall members have been wiped out and can no longer hold on!"
Wild Dog shouted, pretending to be a loyal servant reporting news instead of asking for help.
As the howling of the beasts and monsters grew closer, Wild Dog looked fearful and repeatedly called out, but still received no answer. The Profound Fire Altar in the distance looked like a towering flame, still burning.
Looking back, Wild Dog could already see the beasts and monsters charging towards him. Stomping his foot, he gritted his teeth and surrounded himself with the thick and dense North Sea True Energy before rushing into the heat waves.
Wild Dog charged forward for dozens of zhang and was now less than half the distance to the Profound Fire Altar. The beasts and monsters had caught up by now.
A wolf demon, standing over ten feet tall, with a fierce and bloodthirsty gaze, fixed its crimson eyes on Wild Dog in the flames. Without stopping, it shook its head and charged into the fire.
After taking just a few steps, its fur began to burn, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a fiery shadow. However, strangely, the wolf demon continued to recklessly charge forward, without regard for its own life, emitting a shrill and desperate howl as if it wouldn't stop until it tore Wild Dog to shreds.
The dozen or so beasts and monsters behind the wolf demon were also the same, as if they had no sense of pain or death, charging into the heat waves with all their might.
This is the terrifying method of the Beast God, forcibly turning beasts into brutal monsters that only know slaughter and destruction by planting the seed of ferocity. He transformed all the beasts of the Ten Thousand Mountains into a monstrous army of beasts, creating such a harrowing scene.
With this method, as long as the Beast God is not dead, the slaughter of all living beings in the world is not an empty phrase. Starting from the Southern Region, like a snowball rolling downhill, his army of beasts will only increase, never decrease.
What Wild Dog thought was a terrifying monster tide was actually just the beginning, and it could even be said that at this moment, the army of beasts was at its weakest.
Wild Dog found himself in a predicament where he could neither advance nor retreat dozens of feet before the Profound Fire Altar. Behind him were ferocious monsters, and ahead of him was a high-temperature zone that he could not bear. If he took another step forward, the wolf demon that had already been burned to ashes behind him would be his fate.
Fortunately, Wild Dog still had plenty of true energy, and it seemed that the army of beasts would not be able to reach his position for a while. His look of terror finally eased.
But soon, he raised his guard again and began to scream even more desperately than before, even with a touch of crying in his voice. He urgently hoped that Li Xiu would come out and save him.
Because in the distance, a white bone demon snake over ten zhang long was slowly crawling towards him. Its solid bone body easily plowed deep grooves into the ground, and both its posture and aura were far from ordinary beasts and monsters.
A pair of eerie green snake pupils swept over Wild Dog's body, and he immediately felt a chill sweep over his body. This was definitely not a terrifying beast that he could handle.
The white bone snake demon with strangely pale bones crawled up to the edge of the flames and stopped, its three pairs of colorful wings on its back trembling.
The white bone snake demon seemed to possess a certain level of intelligence. It looked coldly at Wild Dog amidst the flames and began to emit dark black gas from its mouth, which was as thick as ink and could not be dispersed by the flames. The gas rapidly approached Wild Dog.
As the stench grew stronger, Wild Dog's mind became increasingly blurry. Suddenly, he remembered that this white bone snake demon was the culprit that had caused many people to pass out earlier.
Although his steps were unsteady and his body swayed, a strong will to survive propelled Wild Dog forward. He bit his tongue hard, the intense pain briefly clearing his mind. He quickly moved aside to avoid the poisonous gas spreading from the demon's mouth.
Losing consciousness and falling in the flames would be no different from being poisoned to death. Wild Dog's mind trembled as he continued to jump and dodge the black gas emitted by the white bone snake demon.
After a moment, the white bone snake demon seemed to become impatient. It stopped emitting the black gas and instead turned its body, quickly crawling into the waves of heat and spitting out eerie white snake venom as it charged toward Wild Dog.
Seeing the white bone snake demon cross tens of feet in an instant and getting closer and closer, Wild Dog's originally frightened face suddenly revealed a few traces of ferocity that he couldn't help but summon. He swiftly moved his footwork and wielded his Six Meridian Divine Sword.
"Boom! Boom!"
The sword energy hit the white bone snake demon's body, making a sound like gold and iron clashing. It had great momentum, but it didn't even manage to scrape off any bone debris.
The white bone snake demon continued to swim, completely ignoring this attack that didn't even scratch its skin. It also treated the scorching flames around it as nothing. When it came near, it swept its snake tail and entangled the terrified Wild Dog. Before he could even make a final cry for help, the snake body twisted mercilessly around him.
Despite Wild Dog's North Sea True Energy being extremely potent, he was still unable to withstand the twisting and was torn apart.
After discovering the uniqueness of the North Sea Divine Technique, the white bone snake demon slyly threw the torn body of Wild Dog onto the Profound Fire Altar. It immediately burst into flames and was reduced to ashes, and Wild Dog died completely.
"scrape, scrape..."
The hard bones made a piercing sound as they scraped against the red stone of the Profound Fire Altar. The white bone snake demon crawled up to the altar. However, before it could reach the third level, it suddenly felt a drastic drop in temperature beneath its body. A pair of eerie green snake pupils flickered with a hint of confusion.
Zap!
The stone door was pushed open, and a man in a disheveled black robe walked out. His eye sockets were slightly sunken, and his pupils were black and eerie. It seemed as though he hadn't seen the outside world in a long time. After greedily gazing around for a few moments, he finally lifted his head and looked at the white bone snake demon on the altar.
The white bone snake demon suddenly spotted a man in a black robe and emitted a venomous hiss. Its eyes flashed with ferocity as it rapidly swam towards the man, opening its mouth wide to bite him.
A foul wind blew, causing the man in the black robe to furrow his brow. He waved his sleeve, as if brushing away dust, and the massive Profound Fire Altar shook violently.
A small red flame shot out of the altar and landed on the white bone snake demon. In an instant, silent crimson flames spread, and the impenetrable ten-zhang-long white bone body turned into flying ash, dissipating into the air.
The crimson flame turned in a circle before disappearing into thin air, transforming into a green jade pendant that hung from the man's belt.
At the entrance of Fen Xiang Valley, a handsome young man dressed in brightly colored clothing sat on a black cloud. Suddenly, he furrowed his brows and turned his head to look in a certain direction, as if sensing something.
At the same time, within the once tranquil Fen Xiang Valley, all the beasts and monsters abruptly froze in their tracks. Then, with a wave of the young man's hand, countless demon beasts went crazy again, rushing towards a certain direction with a terrifying momentum.
The ground shook violently, causing Li Xiu to shift his gaze from the ashes of the Wild Dog, which had been reduced to nothing, and look into the distance, where he saw a surge of demon beasts rushing forward like a tide.
