Saved by a Black Dog

Rumble!

The Porcupine Demon charged, and in an instant it slammed into the tree Zhao Yingying was in, jolting Zhao Shanshan, who had been on the verge of passing out, awake again.

Although Zhao Yingying did not fall from the tree, her situation was hardly any better. After the demonic beast's charge just now, she had heard the tree creaking and cracking.

Zhao Yingying estimated that if the beast charged twice more, the tree she was on would definitely snap. She hurriedly looked toward the surrounding trees.

Unfortunately, the trees closer to her were all smaller than this one, while the larger ones were too far away for her to possibly jump to.

If she went to those smaller trees, they would not be able to withstand even a single charge from the demonic beast. Zhao Yingying had no idea what to do.

Seeing that its charge had been ineffective, the Porcupine Demon slowly backed away again, seemingly in no hurry to knock Zhao Yingying down.

At this moment, the Porcupine Demon felt that these two women were already meat on its chopping block. There was no way they could escape, so it moved with leisurely ease.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Every time the Porcupine Demon's hind legs pawed at the dirt, Zhao Yingying's heartbeat sped up.

Rumble!

The Porcupine Demon charged. Up in the tree, Zhao Yingying closed her eyes. She had even given up struggling.

All she could do now was pray in her heart that if a prince charming came to save her, she would decide to marry him.

However, after Zhao Yingying closed her eyes and waited for a while, she did not feel the Porcupine Demon crash into the tree. Moreover, why had the surroundings become so quiet?

Hadn't the earth been shaking and the mountains trembling just moments ago? Could her prayer really have come true? Had a prince charming truly appeared to save her?

With that thought, Zhao Yingying hurriedly looked down, only to see a scene that shattered her heart: a black dog stood in front of the Porcupine Demon.

It was precisely because of the black dog's sudden appearance that the Porcupine Demon did not continue charging, instead standing still and staring fixedly at the black dog before it.

Zhao Yingying's thoughts at this moment were: Heavens! Even if you won't send a prince charming to save me, at least send a human!

What do you mean by sending a black dog? Are you asking this dignified Princess to marry a black dog?

Zhao Yingying was on the verge of collapse, but she suddenly noticed something was wrong. How could an ordinary mongrel stop a Level Six Demonic Beast's charge?

Moreover, whether it was an illusion or not, Zhao Yingying seemed to see the Level Six Demonic Beast, the Porcupine Demon, fearing that black dog.

Woof, woof, woof...

While Zhao Yingying's thoughts ran wild, the black dog barked twice at the Porcupine Demon. Then, under Zhao Yingying's astonished gaze, the Porcupine Demon that had nearly taken the two sisters' lives actually lay down on the ground just like that.

Immediately afterward, the black dog flashed and appeared before the Porcupine Demon. It picked up the Porcupine Demon in its mouth and vanished. Zhao Yingying did not even see how the black dog disappeared.

Still dazed, Zhao Yingying could not understand how the black dog had picked up such a huge demonic beast, nor how it had left.

"Ying... Yingying..."

A weak voice suddenly rang out, startling Zhao Yingying awake. Only then did she remember her seriously injured older sister. She hurriedly climbed down from the tree and quickly went over to Zhao Shanshan.

"Big Sister, how are you?"

Zhao Yingying swiftly took out a Healing Pill and gave it to Zhao Shanshan, asking anxiously.

"Yingying, I'm fine. Let's... let's leave this place quickly."

After swallowing the Healing Pill, Zhao Shanshan improved somewhat and was no longer in as much pain as before. However, the blow from the demonic beast had left multiple bones throughout her body fractured. It would probably take at least half a year to recover.

"Big Sister, I'll carry you out right now."

Zhao Yingying carefully placed Zhao Shanshan on her back and headed toward the outskirts of the Thunder Mountain Range. She had to leave the Thunder Mountain Range before she could help her sister recover. Otherwise, if they encountered another demonic beast, who knew whether they would have such good luck again.

Zhao Yingying carried Zhao Shanshan over mountains and across rivers. Fortunately, they did not encounter any more demonic beasts along the way, but Zhao Yingying now wore a troubled expression.

Because she seemed to have gotten lost.

What made Zhao Yingying even more devastated was that Zhao Shanshan on her back, perhaps because she finally felt safe, had already fallen unconscious, whether from exhaustion or her injuries.

Helpless, Zhao Yingying could only keep moving forward. This was already the outskirts of the Thunder Mountain Range, after all. One day, she would eventually walk out.

Laga Village.

Mu Feiyang had just fed his daughter three hundred milliliters of Spirit Milk. He had not intended to let her drink so much, but after she finished one hundred milliliters and was still unsatisfied, Mu Feiyang mixed another hundred milliliters.

Only after his daughter had drunk all three hundred milliliters of Spirit Milk did she finally stop. As soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw Little Black returning with a huge pig in its mouth.

Looking at the wild boar, which was as large as a calf, Mu Feiyang stared at Little Black speechlessly. Had this fellow been craving meat for too long and wanted to eat its fill in one go?

"I told you to catch something like a pheasant or a wild rabbit. Yet you brought back such a huge wild boar. Be careful you don't stuff yourself to death."

Woof... woof woof!

Little Black: Master, don't worry. If I eat myself to death, that's on you.

Mu Feiyang shook his head. After giving Little Black an instruction, he waved his hand and took the wild boar toward the back mountain. There was a small river there, so it would be better to deal with it there rather than getting the house reeking of blood.

Watching Mu Feiyang leave, Little Black trotted over to the doorway and lay down, waiting for its master to return and make roasted meat.

"Glutton!"

A voice suddenly appeared in Little Black's mind. Little Black raised its head and arrogantly glanced at the Undying Phoenix locked in the chicken coop nearby. It ignored the bird and lay back down.

Half an hour later, Mu Feiyang returned after preparing the wild boar. He took out a Grill Rack and placed the entire boar on it. With only a snap of his fingers, clusters of flames rose from the Grill Rack.

Seeing Mu Feiyang start grilling, Little Black hurried back to its doghouse and came out carrying a plate in its mouth. After setting it beside Mu Feiyang, it waited anxiously.

Mu Feiyang pretended not to notice Little Black's actions and focused on turning the wild boar on the grill. When the boar was nearly done, he took out his specially made seasoning and sprinkled it over the meat.

As Mu Feiyang scattered the seasoning, a unique aroma wafted through the air. Little Black, watching nearby, drooled greedily and paced back and forth beside Mu Feiyang.

More than ten minutes later, the Spirit Fire in the Grill Rack went out. Mu Feiyang took out a small dagger, sliced off a large piece with a swish, and tossed it into Little Black's food bowl.

"Eat."

Woof... woof woof!

Little Black: Master, such a huge wild boar, and you're only giving Little Black this much?

"Eat it first, then we'll talk. Why are you in such a hurry?"
