"Whoosh!"
A whooshing sound rang out as a massive body plummeted from the sky like a meteor, crashing into the ice with a deafening roar.
Xia Chen stood atop the Flying Nimbus, floating over a hundred meters in the air. Looking at the commotion below, a hint of a smile played on his lips as he calmly said:
"Hey kid, how's it going? Does your body feel a bit more comfortable?"
During this period Cerberus, Xia Chen used all his other methods except for the Stone Monkey Form, resulting in him constantly dominating Xia Chen.
Thanks to the speed of the Flying Nimbus, Cerberus couldn't even react in time and was completely unable to resist.
But to be fair, its defensive capabilities are indeed quite strong; it withstood Xia Chen's full-force attack for quite some time.
There are almost no people in the world today who can do what it has done. If this dog is considered a pirate, it could definitely become one of the Four Emperors Four Emperors, and probably the most powerful one among them.
After all, for Xia Chen now, the other Four Emperors are simply not a match for him.
If it weren't for the fact that there's an immortal being in this world who has lived for eight hundred years, he would already be invincible, and this has only been a few months since he came to this world.
"Woof~"
A clear dog bark came from the pit below, but compared to its initial strength, the sound was now much softer, and its weakness was easily noticeable.
The Cerberus staggered to its feet from the pit, its body covered in countless wounds, some of which were even dented, making it look incredibly pitiful.
Xia Chen was somewhat amazed that the silly dog could stand up again; this silly dog was really tough!
Fortunately, this silly dog's recovery ability wasn't strong; each injury remained on its body. Xia Chen thought to himself.
But what happened the next second made him feel like he'd been slapped in the face.
Suddenly, eerie blue flames began to erupt from Cerberus's body.
Then, under the scorching of the eerie blue flames, the wounds on Cerberus's body began to slowly disappear, and its aura grew stronger and stronger.
In no time, the Cerberus's aura and appearance were exactly the same as when Xia Chen first saw it.
As the flames gradually died down, Cerberus raised its three heads and looked at Xia Chen with a human-like arrogance on its face.
Xia Chen:...
Did this backfire so quickly?
One second he was saying this stupid dog had poor recovery ability, and the next second it's fully recovered?
Moreover, judging from the situation, it's not just his injuries that have recovered; his physical strength seems to have been fully restored as well.
What the heck is this ghostly blue flame? It's way too overpowered! This is way more awesome Marco's flames!
Could you wholesale one for him too? To be honest, Xia Chen was really envious of the flame's powerful abilities.
He didn't really care much about recovering from injuries, as he could do that himself. But being able to recover his stamina was incredible—it was practically a perpetual motion machine! How wonderful!
However, this would put him at a disadvantage. If the idiot dog's flames were so excessive, a prolonged battle would definitely be detrimental to him, since his stamina couldn't be restored.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen's eyes narrowed, and he made a decision.
In that case, he needs to finish this quickly!
Let's take care of this stupid dog before it can use its flames!
Okay, let's do it this way!
However, just as Xia Chen was about to use his Stone Monkey Form to quickly end the battle, Cerberus made a strange move.
It stretched out a paw and gestured for Xia Chen to stop.
"Um?"
This action left Xia Chen momentarily stunned, and he also stopped thinking about transforming into a stone ape.
He knew this silly dog could understand human speech, so Xia Chen looked at it and tentatively asked:
"You mean we're not going to fight?"
"Woof!"
The Cerberus nodded and barked once, then squatted down on the ice.
"Oh, so you don't want to play anymore! I understand!"
"But whether you fight or not is no longer up to you. You attacked me first, and now you want me to stop? Dream on!"
"I'm telling you, I'm definitely eating dog meat today!"
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
Want to just not fight? How could that be? If this stupid dog were stronger than him, then Xia Chen wouldn't bother them if they didn't want to fight anymore!
But the problem is, he's better than that stupid dog!
Whether a true man can bend or stretch, or forge ahead relentlessly, depends on the strength of the opponent.
The situation is now very clear: he has the advantage. What's there to be afraid of? Let's go for it!
"Woof! Woof!"
Seeing that Xia Chen was about to continue attacking Cerberus barked twice in a hurry. Then it opened its mouth and spat out something that emitted a golden light.
After it appeared, the thing flew straight toward Xia Chen.
Xia Chen Xia Chen created a protective shield in front of him, but after looking at it for a moment, he realized that the golden object didn't seem to be an attack. He couldn't sense any energy fluctuations from it.
However, Xia Chen did not let his guard down and did not remove the defensive shield in front of him.
However, what happened the next second made Xia Chen's eyes widen. The object actually passed right through his defensive shield without any obstruction.
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Xia Chen's forehead. Was this thing really that strange?
But just like before, this thing had no offensive capabilities whatsoever. After passing through the defensive shield, it slowly arrived in front of Xia Chen and then floated quietly in the air.
"Um?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Xia Chen's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly reached out his hand.
The moment it touched the object, it suddenly released a burst of golden light, illuminating the surrounding darkness and making the area as bright as day.
Xia Chen was so blinded by the light that he could barely open his eyes. The golden light shone for more than ten seconds before slowly dimming and finally turning into a black object. But it no longer emitted any light.
Xia Chen looked at the object in his hand with some confusion. After examining it for a while, he murmured:
"What is this piece of?"
Don't ask Xia Chen why he came to this conclusion; it's simply because this thing has a completely irregular, flat shape, and it doesn't look like a complete object at all.
However, what puzzled Xia Chen was...
Why does this thing, which is clearly black, emit such a strong golden light?
Was it purely for showing off? Was the gold and glitter really that good-looking? For some reason, this thought popped into Xia Chen's mind, and he felt that this was very likely the reason.
After glancing at the item in his hand a few more times, Xia Chen put it into his System Space.
If this thing is indeed a fragment of something, then we can definitely find the other parts on this "island" next, and then we'll know what it is.
After doing all this, Xia Chen looked down again. But the area was now empty.
Not only was Cerberus, but even the door had vanished, and the ice on the ground had returned to its black mist form, as if nothing had ever happened.
If it weren't for that fragment lying in the System Space, Xia Chen would have thought that nothing had really happened.
But at this moment, he only wanted to say one thing:
"My plan to eat dog meat today... is ruined!!!"
