Chapter 9: The appearance of the howling dog

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Amidst the mournful cries of the cultivators, the black dog ran faster and faster, its long tongue hanging out of its mouth, saliva splattering in a comical manner.

Roar! Roar! Roar...

Countless demonic beasts roared one after another, their voices shaking the heavens and causing the Qi Refining cultivators to tense up, each of them cursing their parents for not giving them an extra pair of legs.

Qin Jun, being held by Daji, looked at the tsunami-like tide of beasts and asked in his heart, "System, do we gain experience points from killing demonic beasts?"

"We do, but the experience gained from killing demonic beasts within the same realm is less than that from killing enemies," the system quickly replied, instantly sparking Qin Jun's thoughts. With so many demonic beasts here, how much experience points could he gain if he killed them all?

Thinking about this, he asked Daji, "Can you defeat this tide of beasts?"

Daji's mouth twitched helplessly as she replied, "Young Master, this is a tide of beasts. How could I possibly handle it alone? Moreover, such a large-scale tide of beasts is either caused by a natural disaster or a calamity, or it is being manipulated by a demonic king!"

Demonic king!

Qin Jun cautiously asked, "Are demonic kings very strong?"

"Every demonic king is at least in the Void Transformation realm. With such a large-scale tide of beasts, the demonic king might be even stronger," Daji's words made Qin Jun break out in a cold sweat. In his opinion, although Daji was also in the Void Transformation realm, she was still a woman, and would definitely be at a disadvantage when fighting against other Void Transformation realm powerhouses.

Thinking about this, he immediately gave up the idea of facing the tide of beasts.

"Help! Don't leave me behind!"

The terrified voice of Chang Hao came from behind, leaving Qin Jun speechless. Chang Qianqian subconsciously turned to look, only to see Chang Hao chasing after them like a lost dog, completely devoid of his usual demeanor.

She suddenly felt that her once invincible senior brother was actually quite pitiful.

If Chang Hao knew about the change in his junior sister's view of him, he would definitely be speechless.

"Qin Jun, can you save my senior brother? He will soon be caught up by the tide of beasts," Chang Qianqian asked pitifully. After all, they were from the same sect, and she couldn't bear to see her senior brother being torn apart by the tide of beasts.

Qin Jun sneered, "How can I save him?"

"Besides, he could have returned the way he came and hidden in the woods, but he insisted on following us," Chang Qianqian was infuriated by Qin Jun's twisted logic. She wanted to say more, but Qin Jun was unyielding, "I only promised to take you back, not him!"

Joking aside, if it weren't for the mission, I wouldn't bother with you!

Although Chang Qianqian was beautiful, there was still a noticeable gap between her and Daji. Moreover, they were not related, and Qin Jun didn't want to be entangled with her for too long.

Wait until I ascend to the throne, you won't be able to reach me!

Chang Qianqian gritted her teeth in silence. At this moment, all she could do was pray for her senior brother to run faster and not fall behind.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

At that moment, the sound of barking came from behind. Qin Jun instinctively turned around and saw a black dog running towards them.

Seeing this seemingly domesticated black dog surpassing him, Chang Hao was almost faint with anger.

As a disciple of the Xuan Ling Sect, he couldn't even outrun a dog?

"Xiao Tian Dog?"

Qin Jun's expression suddenly became strange. Although the black dog was relatively large compared to ordinary dogs, it was still far from being a divine beast, making it impossible for him to compare it to the first divine beast in Journey to the West.

"Master! Don't run away! I am the Xiao Tian Dog!"

At that moment, the black dog suddenly transmitted its voice into Qin Jun's ears, causing his eyes to widen.

Damn it!

It really is the Xiao Tian Dog!

I refuse to believe it. In my imagination, the Xiao Tian Dog should come to me riding on a seven-colored cloud!

Qin Jun cursed in his heart, but he was still very happy. Looks can be deceiving, or rather, a dog's appearance can be deceiving. The Xiao Tian Dog, with all its abilities, was a super powerhouse in the Earthly Immortal realm. With it here, the tide of beasts was nothing to worry about.

Thinking about this, he quickly said to Daji, "Don't fly, let's go down!"

"Why?" Daji frowned. If they were surrounded by the tide of beasts, it would be difficult to escape.

Chang Qianqian also looked at him with confusion.

To this, Qin Jun smiled calmly, "The demonic king you mentioned has arrived!"

According to Daji, the demonic king that could cause the tide of beasts was probably the Xiao Tian Dog.

Daji and Chang Qianqian widened their eyes in disbelief. Did Qin Jun know that demonic king?

As for the Xiao Tian Dog, they simply ignored it. A mere mutt, it didn't look like a demonic king at all.

With that, Daji held Qin Jun and Chang Qianqian as they landed, and the Xiao Tian Dog came to Qin Jun. Qin Jun squatted down and patted its head, looking excited. This scene appeared extremely strange to Daji and Chang Qianqian.

They hadn't heard the Xiao Tian Dog transmit its voice to Qin Jun earlier, so they were very puzzled as to why Qin Jun was so friendly to this seemingly ordinary black dog.

"You... finally... stopped flying..."

Chang Hao ran up to them and stopped, panting heavily with his hands on his knees. He had forgotten that there was a large wave of beasts behind him, approaching rapidly.

"With it here, we don't need to run," Qin Jun stood up and said with a smile. The Xiao Tian Dog circled around him, looking no different from an ordinary pet dog, lacking the demeanor of a divine beast.

"Just this, a mere mixed-breed black dog!" Chang Hao sneered. Anyway, with Daji here, he wasn't afraid. As long as he followed Daji, he would be safe.

This woman was a super existence who could easily suppress Xiahou En!

When the Xiao Tian Dog heard Chang Hao insult it as a mixed-breed black dog, it suddenly stopped and stared at Chang Hao with a cold gaze. Chang Hao felt a terrifying killing intent surging towards him like a tide, making him shiver and unable to speak.

How could this be...

Chang Hao looked at the Xiong Tian Quan in horror. He felt a more terrifying pressure from Xiong Tian Quan than from Xiahou En and Daji. With a thud, he knelt down and worshipped Xiong Tian Quan.

"Big Brother, what's wrong with you?" Chang Qianqian frowned and asked. The pressure from Xiong Tian Quan was only directed at Chang Hao, and she didn't feel it.

Chang Hao knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, and couldn't listen to Chang Qianqian's words at all.

On the contrary, Daji frowned and looked at Xiong Tian Quan. She sensed a hint of danger from Xiong Tian Quan.

Fortunately, Xiong Tian Quan was very close to Qin Jun and was not an enemy.

"I'm telling you, show some respect to Xiong Tian Quan, or I'll let it tear you apart!" Qin Jun coldly snorted. Can you mortals defile the divine beast of the Heavenly Court War God?

Chang Hao dared not speak and could only cower on the ground, trembling constantly.

Seeing her senior brother in such a sorry state, Chang Qianqian couldn't help but shake her head, full of disdain.

At this time, a group of cultivators ran over.

"The beast tide is coming, why are you still standing there?"

"Forget it! Don't bother with them! They're just waiting to die!"

"Run, I don't want to die here!"

"Yeah, don't pay attention to them!"

Qin Jun glanced over. There were a total of eighteen cultivators, all of them at the seventh level or above of the Qi Refining Realm. From their clothes, it could be seen that they did not belong to the same faction.
