"Brother SU, Captain Nie, you have to believe me. I didn't do it on purpose …"
Chen didn't think his words were convincing enough. Still, he explained to Su Ping and Nie Chengkong with a forced smile.
He felt speechless and confused as well.
Did the Dark Dragon Hound have a skill that could make it forget everything at a critical moment?
Nie Chengkong was confused. He believed that the Dark Dragon Hound didn't do it on purpose. After all, it was too obvious that the Dark Dragon Hound had targeted the Dark Dragon Hound twice.
Su Ping remained calm. He didn't mind. He told the Dark Dragon Hound to lure the Hell Spiders out so that he could finish the battle quickly and get the treasure as soon as possible. Leaving the Dark Dragon Hound outside was exactly what he wanted.
"I will cover your Dark Dragon Hound and get it back," Ye Chenshan said at once.
The Dark Dragon Hound had demonstrated amazing abilities. That being said, the Dark Dragon Hound was full of poisonous beasts. No matter how strong the Dark Dragon Hound was, it couldn't escape unscathed. Once the Dark Dragon Hound was poisoned, the Dark Dragon Hound's ability to resist the poison would be much weaker than the advanced beasts.
Nie Chengkong was about to say yes when he heard a dragon's roar.
He looked over at once and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The Dark Dragon Hound that had attracted the Hell Beads was running toward the Hell Spiders that were swarming out from the valley. It was as if the Dark Dragon Hound was going to meet its doom!
You don't have to be in such a hurry to die!
The next second, the Dark Dragon Hound was surrounded by the Hell Beads. Strands of black spider silk covered up the Dark Dragon Hound. Soon, the Dark Dragon Hound was nowhere to be seen.
Nie Chengkong couldn't help but turn to Su Ping. Those Hell Spiders were weaker than the Wind-winged Python but they were at the seventh-rank after all. There were more of them than the Wind-winged Python. Was the Dark Dragon Hound out of his mind?
The others also noticed that. All of them were dumbfounded and looked at Su Ping as if he were a lunatic.
How much did the Dark Dragon Hound hate its own pet to make it fight like this?
Given the Dark Dragon Hound's strength, even without the protection of the Earthen Dragon, the Dark Dragon Hound could have survived the Hell Spiders if it was careful. However, the Dark Dragon Hound was throwing itself at the Dark Dragon Hound.
Elder Hiroshi glanced at it and frowned slightly. He sneered in his heart and pretended not to see it. He controlled his Death Scythe Guardians to fight on the other side of the cliff. He had no intention of going over to help.
Nie Chengkong looked to where the Dark Dragon Hound was. The Hell Spiders had piled up. Nie Chengkong felt his blood freeze and his face was clouded. He could not sit by and watch Su Ping abandon his pet like that. If the Dark Dragon Hound were to die, it would be a huge loss to their overall plan!
Weng!
Under his command, the Devil Priest Beast let out a low hum, waved the iron rod in its hand, and suddenly turned to attack the Blackflame Hell Spiders.
The Hell Beads that were crawling out from the cliff began to spit out webs to entangle the Devil Priest Beast, trying to stop it.
The Devil Priest Beast said nothing. Like a Buddha, it wielded its huge rod and smashed away the Hell Beads that were coming at it. Some of the Hell Beads even exploded on the spot.
After all, these Hellfire Spiders were only Class Seven Monster Beasts. There was a huge difference in strength between them and the Class Nine Devil Priest Beast. They were no match for it at all. Only the layers of spider silk could pose some trouble to the Devil Priest Beast.
When the Devil Priest Beast was about to reach the Hell Spiders, the Hell Spiders began to tremble. Then, from within the Hell Spiders came out a dark flame. The flame was surging, as if it had come from the deepest level of hell, ready to burn down everything in the world!
The strong flame and the strange temperature forced the Devil Priest Beast to stop out of instinct. The Devil Priest Beast sensed danger from the black flame, as if it had encountered a powerful enemy of the same rank.
Roar!!
All of a sudden, a dragon's roar came from the Hell Spiders. The Hell Spiders that were piled up screamed in pain and fell down. Some of them were burned by the black flames and were screaming in pain.
The Dark Dragon Hound crawled out from the Hell Spiders and stepped on some of them. The Dark Dragon Hound turned around, opened its mouth, and pounced on the Hell Spiders next to it.
There were bite marks on the Dark Dragon Hound's body, as well as some blood. The Dark Dragon Hound had put up three layers of advanced shields, but the Hell Spiders' attacks were corrosive and could even eat through advanced shields.
Even a Ninth Grade Monster Beast like the Earthen Colossal Dragon, which was famous for its defense, would have its scales and armor completely corroded if these Hellfire Spiders were given some time. Then, they would devour its skin and bones.
Even so, the Dark Dragon Hound's will to fight didn't diminish at all. Instead, it was getting more and more excited.
That was the taste.
That was the tingling sensation.
It had been a long time!!
This was the place where the Dark Dragon Hound had "graduated" from. Compared to the other horrifying places that Su Ping had taken it to, this place was a nostalgic paradise.
Roar!
The Dark Dragon Hound howled excitedly as if it had taken stimulants. It dashed into the Hell Spiders, biting and killing them.
The Hell Spiders' poison was nothing to the Dark Dragon Hound. The Dark Dragon Hound's cells had gotten used to it and were immune to it!!
Without the poison, the Hell Spiders were just some average seventh-rank beasts to the Dark Dragon Hound. To the Dark Dragon Hound, the seventh-rank beasts were food, like cabbages that could be trampled on!
Hum, hum, hum!
The Dark Dragon Hound dashed back and forth in the valley, enjoying the slaughter.
Inside the Shield of Dragons, Nie Chengkong and the others were dumbstruck. They were dumbfounded.
What happened to the poison?
Didn't they say that the Hell Spiders were extinct and their poison was unknown and hard to resist?
The Dark Dragon Hound had been bitten many times, but it didn't seem tired at all. Instead, the Dark Dragon Hound was getting more and more excited …
They all suspected that the venom of the Hellfire Spiders was an accelerant.
They looked at Su Ping with strange expressions.
Was there something wrong with the Dark Dragon Hound or were the Hell Spiders not as scary as they thought?
Soon, the Hell Spiders realized that the Dark Dragon Hound was harder to deal with than the other two ninth-rank beasts. The Hell Spiders turned around to attack the Fallen Priest and the Sickle Guardian. The Hell Spiders' webs almost filled up the entire valley.
The Dark Dragon Hound was covered in flames. The webs were destructive to the Dark Dragon Hound but they couldn't stop the Dark Dragon Hound.
The Death Scythe and the Fallen Priest focused on dealing with the Hell Spiders. Some of the Hell Spiders had lost their minds because of the Dark Dragon Hound's pursuit. Some of the Hell Spiders ran to the Earthen Dragon and were stomped to death.
In a few minutes, the valley returned to peace.
Dead bodies of the Hell Spiders were everywhere and the webs were scattered everywhere.
This dangerous place where the secret treasure was hidden had been completely destroyed in the battle. This was the place where the Black Flame Hell Spiders resided. Aside from the Black Flame Hell Spiders, there were no other demonic beasts here. In other words, they only needed to go in and find the secret treasure.
Guo Yuelin used the Earthquake to check and make sure that there were no more Hell Spiders lurking around. Then, he told Chen to deactivate the Dragon Shield.
Looking at the scene of Purgatory that was filled with corpses, everyone was shocked and speechless. They felt that this battle was far easier than they had imagined.
Nie Chengkong looked around and found the Dark Dragon Hound. The Dark Dragon Hound was eating something among the dead bodies. The Dark Dragon Hound didn't seem to be poisoned. Nie Chengkong breathed in relief. He turned to Su Ping and said, "Your Dark Dragon Hound is a … strange creature."
He couldn't think of another word to describe the Dark Dragon Hound. Strange? It sounded more like a curse. But strange creatures weren't any better …
"What?" Master Mo frowned. He jumped to his Sickle Guardian and noticed that the bone scythe on the Sickle Guardian's arm was blunted as if it had been corroded.
There was also a fist-sized hole in the Sickle Guardian's arm. The area around the hole was swollen.
The others hurried over as well. They were surprised to see the swollen wound.
"Poisoned?" Ye Chenshan asked.
Clearly, the Dark Dragon Hound had been infected by the venom attack.
The others were stunned as well. Was the Dark Dragon Hound infected just like that?
They couldn't help but look at the Dark Dragon Hound that was gnawing on something in the distance. The bleeding had stopped, but the wounds were still there. The Dark Dragon Hound was just as wounded as the Death Scythe. After all, the Dark Dragon Hound had been too aggressive and was drowned by the spiders.
However, the Dark Dragon Hound seemed to be perfectly fine.
Master Mo thought of the same thing. He pulled a long face. He almost spat out blood when he saw the strange looks everyone was giving him. In the end, he swallowed the blood back down his throat.
Nie Chengkong was the first to come back to his senses. "Use the antidote to suppress the toxicity," he said at once.
Master Mo came back to his senses. He took out the antidote from his backpack. There were six antidotes in a metal box. He took one out and injected it into the Dark Dragon Hound.
