"Awooo awooo awooo!"
The dog kept barking, and Pei Yuhuan poked his head out for a look,
"Why is your aim off?"
Huangfu Yi raised his hand to recall his floating treasure sword and glanced at it,
"No, I aimed at the ground, but it floated up, as if protecting its own blade."
"Oh, then this sword's grade isn't low. Could it have developed a Sword Spirit?"
Huangfu Yi was curious too, so he took a glance with the system.
"Sword, Ninth Grade, trash. Recommend smashing it."
The system is really strict, even this good flying sword isn't good enough for it…
At this time, the dog got tired of barking and ran into the fire to retrieve its ball. So Huangfu Yi also took a glance…
"Dog, Non-Entry Rank, garbage. Recommend stewing it."
"Ball, Eighth Grade, waste. Recommend selling it."
Huh?? This dog toy is this powerful? Yet it's considered waste!?
But thinking back, this ball did smash and break an Immortal Fruit Tree...
Huangfu Yi couldn't help but move closer to inspect the ball.
The dog warily watched him, holding its toy in its mouth, avoiding him.
Huangfu Yi thought for a moment and said to the dog,
"Hey, don't stand so far away. Sooner or later, when your master reincarnates, they'll come looking for me.
Why not come along first? You could lend a hand, carry a basket or something."
"Hey! You want to drop me with a dog?!"
"That's a legitimate Immortal Mount, okay?"
"No way! I don't want to ride a dog!"
The dog didn't want to be ridden either. Holding the ball, it ran fiercely backward, running farther and farther, not looking back.
Huangfu Yi shrugged, casually cut the scorpion meat into eight pieces to make preserved rations.
"Rustle rustle"
Then there was a light sound. Huangfu Yi turned his head and saw the ground and the forest covered with scorpions of all sizes, surging like a tidal wave. There were dozens of large scorpion monsters, the size of dogs, flipping the ground as they emerged.
Damn, no wonder the dog ran off into the distance…
So Huangfu Yi no longer cared much, and with a jolt, he sprinted after the dog, running down the mountain as fast as he could, desperately avoiding the pursuing scorpion swarm.
One person and one dog, one behind the other, fled for half the night before shaking off the scorpion swarm, tumbling all the way to a small stream at the foot of the mountain, where they finally sat down, drank some water, and took a breath.
Pei Yuhuan wasn't affected much, and was still analyzing,
"Those scorpions must have a master. I saw Treasure Light shooting up the mountain top. I fear it's not just one or two Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, it seems like some Immortal Relics or a Mystic Spirit Secret Realm emerged.
I suspect the master of those scorpions arranged them to fend off strangers outside. I wonder what good thing attracts such a big deal."
Huangfu Yi wiped his face,
"It doesn't matter what it is. It's blocking our path. With that many insects, it'd take two mountains and several more days to detour around these demons. Let's wait at the mountain foot for a night; perhaps they'll leave once they've secured their Immortal Fate."
Pei Yuhuan was unsatisfied,
"Didn't you hear me say it's really great Treasure Light? An upper-class Immortal Fate is right before us, aren't you a man?"
Huangfu Yi wasn't provoked, and just sat down on the ground, closing his eyes for breathing,
"A person should know their own limits. I have no sensitivity at all, indicating that the mountain is simply not my Immortal Fate.
Moreover, I've eaten quite a few spiritual fruit and fairy vegetables along the way. Instead of taking this risk, I might as well refine and digest them, turning all the True Breath into my use.
Why take such a risk again?"
Besides, it will probably result in just scavenging some worthless garbage…
"Awooo awooo awooo!"
Then came a burst of barking.
Huangfu Yi opened his eyes and saw that the stream in the mountain glen had turned blood-red.
This smell is blood.
