Time passed, and soon it was afternoon.

Looking from a distance, we can already see the villages and towns in the distance.

"It's almost here. It will be there in more than half an hour at most. Let's rest in the town tonight..."

Yellow Dog had a smile on his face. He held the cigarette pouch in one hand and rubbed it on his body with the other. He took out an oval-shaped black ball and flicked it towards Da Huang who was having fun behind the carriage.

At this time, Da Huang was raising its hind legs next to a big tree beside the official road, occupying the territory.

After walking such a long way, it can be said that it has almost occupied all the way, but it still enjoys it, and it will come here every few miles.

And at this moment, there was a snap, and Da Huang was hit hard on the forehead by something.

It made a movement and sat down directly on the ground.

"Near——"

A shrill wail sounded immediately, and Da Huang, with his tail between his legs, flew into the carriage behind him.

Only one head was exposed, and he kept scanning the surroundings, with fear in Huang Dou's eyes.

I just watched it for a while, but found nothing. There was an anthropomorphic suspicion on its dog face.

Then he plucked up the courage to get out of the carriage, cautiously came to the big tree just now, and sniffed the ground. He soon discovered that the thing that attacked him was naturally a piece of cracked black dirt. He came closer and smelled it, and a look of disgust immediately appeared on the dog's face.

Finally, as if he thought of something, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Yellow Dog, who was looking at the carriage in front of him.

"Hahaha... silly dog..."

Yellow Dog couldn't help it any longer, hugging his belly and laughing.

He had long discovered that this yellow-haired wild dog was quite intelligent, but extremely timid, so he teased it from time to time along the way, and the results every time made him feel happy.

"Woof woof woof..."

Da Huang immediately understood and his hair stood up all over his body. He bared his white teeth and kept barking at Yellow Dog, but he didn't dare to get close. After barking for a while, he returned to the carriage honestly.

Lin Sheng is already used to this scene.

Yellow Dog Although he is not young, he is completely restless and will find something to do for himself from time to time.

Shaking his head slightly, he still had a while to arrive, so he thought about practicing for a while longer.

"Woof..."

But at this time, Da Huang's barking sounded from the car again.

The voice was much more rapid than before.

Lin Sheng frowned slightly and was about to scold him.

But he saw Da Huang rushing out of the carriage and coming directly to his side. His whole body was shaking like chaff, and he barked backwards from time to time.

Seeing Da Huang's appearance, Lin Sheng frowned, but felt something was wrong.

Da Huang looked like this, obviously not because he was angry, but because he was frightened.

He looked back, and Yellow Dog on the side seemed to have sensed something. He had just taken out a small book and was going to read it for a while. At this moment, he had closed the book and put it in his arms. He stood up and narrowed his eyes, looking into the bushes behind him.

"There seems to be something going on behind the scenes, Xiaoyou Lin."

Yellow Dog reminded aloud. Lin Sheng also turned his gaze to the bushes behind him at this moment. With his eyes focused, he could vaguely see a strong figure approaching quickly.

At the same time, the uneasy feeling that had been lingering in him had surged to the extreme at this moment.

As the strong figure quickly approached, Lin Sheng could see at a glance the thin black scales covering its body, as well as the wisps of black mist lingering on its surface.

He felt that this scene seemed a bit familiar, and soon his pupils shrank, his face changed color instantly, and he immediately shouted sharply at the old Zhou He Wang Dehai who was driving the carriage.

"Hurry now and don't stop!"

Although Wang Dehai and Old Zhou were a little confused, they immediately followed what Lin Sheng said and waved their whips wildly. Amidst the neighing of the horses, the carriage quickly drove away.

It's just that although the carriage is fast, it is much slower than the strong figure shuttled through the bushes, and the distance between the two is still shortening rapidly.

Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng immediately roared again.

"Go left and enter the woodland!!"

"Yes!"

The forest on both sides was densely covered with vegetation, which was obviously not suitable for carriages to travel. However, Old Zhou knew that there was definitely a reason for Lin Sheng to ask for this. They immediately gritted their teeth and immediately turned around and drove the carriage into the forest.

The carriage was very bumpy, but its speed did not drop too much, and it soon deviated from the official road.

Lin Sheng stared behind him. After seeing that the strong figure did not go to the town along the official road, but turned around and followed them like them, his expression became increasingly ugly.

Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer to him, it was obvious that it would not take long to catch up. He glanced at the two carriages with a stern look in his eyes.

"You go first, I will catch up with you."

After saying that, he jumped off the carriage.

Yellow Dog stood on the carriage, his eyes flashing as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he shook his head slightly and said something to the two people driving the carriage.

"Don't go deep into the forest. You'll turn back to the official road soon. Don't stop in the town..."

After saying that, his figure also disappeared from the official road.

After jumping off the carriage, Lin Sheng did not stop, but galloped away in another direction.

While traveling at high speed, he did not forget to look back. The strong figure that was following him was also chasing him in the direction of Transformation, which confirmed his guess.

"Sure enough..."

He sighed in his heart and ran forward at full speed without having time to think about it, but the distance between the two was still slowly getting closer.

However, after such a long time, Lin Sheng has stopped. He understands that even if he keeps running, he will be caught up by that thing. Instead of wasting his energy, it is better to maintain his energy and stay and finish it off.

And...

Lin Sheng turned to look aside, and Yellow Dog's figure also appeared behind him.

"The bandit leader was killed by me personally and it is impossible for him to come back to life. Xiaoyou Lin, do you know what is behind you?"

Seeing Lin Sheng stop, Yellow Dog also stopped and looked at the strong figure getting closer and closer behind him.

Although his appearance had changed drastically, he could recognize it with his eyesight at a glance. The figure he was following was none other than the bandit leader Du Long who died in his hands.

After seeing the other party's face, he was also shocked. Du Long was dead, and the thing behind him was definitely not Du Long.

"I'm not sure what that thing is, maybe it has something to do with the thing on Yangping Mountain."

Lin Sheng said in a deep voice.

He was indeed not sure. When he saw Du Long, he was shocked in his heart. However, after seeing the shape of Du Long and the black mist lingering around him, he thought of the terrifying Demon Beast he had come into contact with. Especially coupled with Da Huang's frightened reaction, he became more and more sure of this guess.

"Yangping Mountain!?"

Yellow Dog frowned, a daze flashed in his eyes, but he reacted the next moment, with a look of surprise on his face.

"You're talking about Phantom Demon Beast!!"

"This shouldn't be the case. Long Zilu took action personally and sealed it with Blood Demon Great Array, so Phantom Demon Beast shouldn't be able to break out... unless..."

Speaking of this, Yellow Dog seemed to have thought of something.

"Is it possible that Demon Beast has already recovered? But even so, if he wants to break out of Blood Demon Great Array, he will definitely have to pay a high price."

Possibilities flashed through his mind, but he didn't have time to think about it because the other party was already within a hundred meters of them.

This is a strong man over two meters tall with fine black scales all over his body, or a monster would be more appropriate to describe him.

At this time, Du Long's hands and feet were gone and replaced by four sharp claws. Only his head still retained a human appearance, and his identity could be barely identified.

There was no trace of color in the pitch-black eyes, the black lines on his cheeks were twisting, and there were wisps of black mist lingering all over his body, which looked so weird.

"It turns out to be really Phantom Demon Beast. How did this thing get here?"

Yellow Dog had a solemn look on his face, and his words were full of doubts.

You must know that Yangping Mountain is quite far away from here. There are countless towns and villages along the way. Why did they end up here?

It is now attached to the bandit leader, and he has obviously been to the bandit camp.

And it is obvious that they are now being targeted.

"Little friend Lin, you have to be careful. Although this thing in front of you is not a complete Phantom Demon Beast, it has devoured many living beings along the way. Don't be careless."

Yellow Dog warned in a deep voice.

"I understand."

Lin Sheng nodded, his face also full of solemnity.

He also didn't understand why Phantom Demon Beast appeared here, but he knew very well that if he didn't deal with the other party, then today's plan would be impossible.

When the two of them were sizing up Du Long, the other party was also sizing them up.

Two dark eyes first swept over Yellow Dog's body, and finally landed on Lin Sheng's face. Then, the corners of his mouth split open, revealing a mouthful of jet-black sharp teeth that looked like they had been dipped in ink.

The next moment, the figure was flying towards him like a phantom.

Lin Sheng waved his hand and sent a few darts past, but the other party did not dodge and ignored them at all. He let the darts fall on him, but in the end they only exploded with a few strings of sparks, which had no effect at all.

At this time, Du Long was already close to him, and his claws stretched out to grab Lin Sheng's heart.

"Rampaging Bull's Headbutt!!"

Lin Sheng raised his hand and punched him.

A fist and a claw collided together. However, at the moment of collision, there was no muffled sound as expected.

Lin Sheng frowned, feeling as if he had been hit by a sticky liquid. The force was completely absorbed by the other party, and the next moment his expression changed.

It felt like the liquid that was very sticky and non-aggressive a second ago turned into refined iron in an instant, followed by a terrifying explosion Great Strength.

Click...

With a cracking sound as his bones were overwhelmed, his body flew backwards.

At the same time, a brass pipe had quietly landed on Du Long's head.

With a muffled snap, Mr. Du's head shattered into pieces, but no blood or brain matter flowed out of it, only a ball of black mucus.

These black slimes seemed to be alive, shooting out and connecting with each other, like black chains, tightly binding Yellow Dog.

Yellow Dog frowned slightly, but did not show any panic at all. He only shouted in a low voice.

"Spirit Flood Dragon Transformation!"

After spitting out the three words, the next moment Yellow Dog's shriveled figure inflated as if inflated, the clothes around him were directly burst, layers of blue-green scales appeared on the skin, and the old cheeks became younger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But in the blink of an eye, he changed from a skinny old man in his sixties or seventies to a slender, handsome middle-aged man in green clothes.

The cloudy and dull pupils blinked, revealing a brown Vertical Eye.

"Break it for me!"

In the hoarse low harmony, the black chain that bound Zhou Shen was broken immediately, and Qinglin's claws stretched out and directly collided with the black claws grabbing at his neck.

As soon as it collided, the claws softened like liquid, as if they were trying to repeat the same trick they just did to knock Lin Sheng away.

"Little tricks!"

With a slight snort, Yellow Dog's claws glowed with green light, directly surrounding Du Long.

"Profound Flood Dragon Gang Sha!"

The green awns surrounding Du Long swelled to the extreme, and then quickly gathered together, like pieces of meat entering a stuffing machine. Du Long's body was immediately chopped into countless tiny pieces of meat by countless green awns.

Although it suffered such a brutal attack, the Black Scale monster still did not die. Instead, wisps of black mist collected on the countless fragments, connecting with each other, and soon the broken body was connected again, and reassembled into its original appearance.

"Alas... I knew it wasn't that simple!!"

Seeing this scene, Yellow Dog couldn't help but sigh, and before the Black Scale monsters were completely gathered together, he launched another attack, and a ray of green light shot out. However, this time, the Black Scale monster seemed to be prepared, and opened its mouth to spit out a ball of black mist that collided with the green light.

"You'd better not get close to this thing. This is not what you can handle now."

Yellow Dog spat out a sentence without looking back, and the person he spoke to was naturally Lin Sheng who was approaching quickly.

Just the arrival of Lin Sheng naturally cannot escape the attention of monster Black Scale.

Lin Sheng can clearly feel that a pair of dark eyes without any emotion are falling on him at this moment.

As if being stimulated, the black mist around the Black Scale monster surged faster and faster, and a ball of black mist shot out, heading straight for Lin Sheng.

But just as he flew halfway, he was blocked by a ball of green light.

Roar...

Seeing that his offensive was blocked, the Black Scale monster immediately let out a weird low roar, smashed the ground with his feet and rushed towards Yellow Dog who was blocking the front.

"Come on, I want to see how much strength this lingering thing still has!?"

Yellow Dog also became angry. He originally thought that after he showed his strength, the opponent would not fight to the death, but he didn't expect that it would not be over yet.

One person and one monster collided violently, causing them to fall back several feet.

"You'd better leave here first and go to the nearest town to spread the news about Phantom Demon Beast..."

"Okay."

Regarding Yellow Dog's proposal, Lin Sheng simply nodded.

Judging from the strength shown by monster Black Scale, I am afraid it has surpassed Blood Circulation realm, and it is still difficult for him to compete now.

The strength shown by Yellow Dog also exceeded his expectations, and it was obviously not just as simple as Blood Circulation.

Rather than staying here, it is really better to spread the news and let the experts come and deal with it.

After responding, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Seeing Lin Sheng leaving, the Black Scale monster seemed to be getting more and more impatient, and the black lines Distortion on his cheeks were moving faster and faster.

Immediately, a large black mist erupted from the body, which was much denser than before.

"Are you going to get serious?"

Yellow Dog looked solemn, took a deep breath and the green light appeared as if it were real.
