Sometimes, Lu Chen felt that the black dog he had raised was not a dog, but another kind of animal. He had never seen a dog that could jump up and down such a dangerous cliff as if it was walking on flat ground. Even if the path was extremely narrow, even if the precipice was very dangerous, and there were hard stone protrusions from time to time.
Ah-Tu did not seem to care about all these hardships. On the contrary, it seemed to be enjoying itself as it walked freely. There were many places that seemed dangerous, where one wrong step could cause one to fall into a bottomless abyss, but the black dog did not even look at them as it leaped over them.
Sometimes, it would even grab onto a hard rock and swing over, causing people to be extremely frightened. The dangerous moments made them want to break out in cold sweat for it. However, this big black dog did not seem to care at all. Instead, it would turn its head from time to time to look at Lu Chen, who was steadily moving forward step by step, sticking close to the precipice. It would bark a few times, and then it simply stopped and waited. There was a hint of disdain in its pair of big dog eyes.
Lu Chen walked over slowly, glared at the dog, and said, "What are you looking at! Have you never seen a human walking before? "
Atsu grinned, stood up, wagged its tail, and continued to walk forward. However, its movements were much lighter than Lu Chen's, and it ran a long distance in two or three steps.
Looking at the huge black dog walking on the narrow precipice path, it seemed particularly uncoordinated. It seemed that it would fall at any time, but the dog was so steady that it was appalling. In the end, Lu Chen could only shake his head and sigh. He muttered, "Is this a dog or a monkey …"
Of course, Atsu was still a dog, although the dog had changed a lot.
Lu Chen recalled the time when he was still in Kunlun Mountain a few years ago. It seemed that during that period of time, Atsu was let loose by him at will. It ran around the vast forest and wilderness of Kunlun Mountain all day long. Could it be that the ability to climb mountains and cross rivers was trained at that time?
However, there were many wild dogs in this world, and there were many that lived in the wild all day long. But apart from the one in front of him, it seemed that it was difficult to find another big dog that could have this kind of ability. Therefore, it seemed that the only explanation was that Atsu had advanced to become a Holy Beast.
However, although he complained, Lu Chen obviously would not be angry because of this. In fact, the sudden display of Atsu's ability made Lu Chen a lot less worried. At least he did not have to consider leaving Atsu alone in the tree hole.
Perhaps it was because the tree hole was too lonely, too lonely, and too depressing. It was fine if Lu Chen was there, but if Lu Chen left for the outside world for a while, when he came back, Atsu would become extremely manic. He did not know if it was because of fear of of of of of Atsu. So, Lu Chen tried to avoid leaving Atsu alone in the tree hole.
…
This canyon was not a straight line that led to the end. Instead, it was more like a twisting long snake swimming in this mysterious Great Snow Mountain, meandering forward.
As Lu Chen and Atsu gradually went deeper, they gradually saw a scene that had not been seen by the outside world for many years. The canyon was sometimes narrow and sometimes wide, and the cliffs on both sides were constantly changing according to the mountain. At the narrowest part, the cliffs on both sides seemed to almost stick together, so much so that Lu Chen could even touch the stone wall on the opposite side if he stretched out his hand. But after walking for a while, the cliffs on both sides suddenly opened up, and the cliffs on both sides were suddenly separated by hundreds of feet. It was so far that it seemed that he could not even see the opposite side clearly.
There was no snow in the sky, but there were no birds flying over the canyon, either. After the never-ending snowstorm temporarily stopped, there was no other sound here.
Everything was a little scary, and only the sunlight falling from the sky in the distance shone into half of the canyon, adding a trace of vitality and warmth to the place.
Many of the demonic beasts in the Great Snow Mountain seemed to be very disgusted with this canyon, so even after walking for a long time, Lu Chen did not see any demonic beasts here. This made him a little puzzled, because according to what Huo Yan said that day, a giant wolf demonic beast had appeared here.
He quietly walked alone in this actually incomparably dangerous canyon. Other than Atsu, there were no other living creatures.
After walking for a long time in this kind of place, it was easy to have a feeling of being forgotten by the whole world.
But, just like this, Lu Chen walked in silence for a day.
When the sky was getting dark, Lu Chen finally found a slightly more spacious place on this dangerous cliff path. In fact, it was only a small platform three to four feet wide, and the stone surface was slightly protruding, but it could be considered as a rare place to rest on this road.
Lu Chen looked ahead, only to see that as far as his eyes could see, the cliff path was still winding forward, and he could not see the end at all. After a few twists and turns, it turned into a place where he could not see clearly.
Similarly, the mysterious canyon that he was in at the moment, even though he had walked in it for a whole day, was still winding forward, as if there was no end.
Lu Chen whistled to the front. Atsu heard it, turned back to look, and then walked back along the stone wall.
Lu Chen patted its head and said, "It's getting dark, let's rest here for the night."
The cliff path in the canyon was a natural barrier. Walking in the day was an extremely dangerous thing, not to mention at night it was pitch black. It was really possible to fall into the abyss with one wrong step at any time. Even a bold person like Lu Chen did not dare to take this risk.
Atsu lay down next to him. This small stone platform was not very big, and with the two of them here, it suddenly felt a little crowded. Lu Chen simply sat with his back against the stone wall and let Ah-Tu lie on his thighs. This way, not only did it save space, but being covered by Ah-Tu was also like having a warm and thick quilt on his body. It was very warm.
After the sky turned dark, Lu Chen hugged Atsu, and for a moment, he also felt a little warm in his heart. He smiled slightly, and then closed his eyes.
Compared to the quiet Lu Chen, Atsu was a little bit restless. Its huge head kept twisting left and right, but fortunately, it probably knew that this place was not a place where it could do whatever it wanted, so most of the time it was quite obedient.
Just like this, one person and one dog stayed quietly in this canyon until the last bit of light in the sky disappeared above the canyon. Darkness suddenly came, like a tide, instantly drowning everything.
…
There was still no wind or snow at night, but it began to gradually become colder.
There wasn't a single ray of light left, right, front, and back. There was a feeling of loneliness and desolation. The darkness even gave people the illusion that the abyss was right beside them, within reach, and they would fall into it with just a slight flip.
There was nothing above and below them, and they were alone on the precipice.
It was as if they were the only people left in the whole world at this moment.
Atsu's body suddenly moved in the darkness, then it turned its head and looked at Lu Chen. Lu Chen's hands were still on Atsu, and in the darkness, he saw Atsu's eyes.
That pair of eyes with a bit of faint green, there seemed to be a flickering flame in the pupils, but also like a strange mirror, reflecting a vague shadow.
Lu Chen stared at this pair of strange eyes, staring at the reflection in the depths of the eyes, watching it twisting with the flame, and remained silent.
After a while, suddenly, the green light in Atsu's eyes suddenly brightened, as if it suddenly wanted to jump.
Lu Chen was taken aback, and he quickly used his hands to pull Atsu's body.
On this stone platform, which was not very big, there was no room for too much movement. After being pulled by him, Atsu seemed to think of the current situation, and its body quieted down.
However, its emotions did not calm down along with its forcefully suppressed body. On the contrary, it seemed to become more and more agitated. It began to let out a deep roar, and its sharp teeth began to grind, making a clattering sound as if two sharp blades were clashing against each other.
Lu Chen hugged its body tightly, and the pupil in his eyes slightly contracted. He gently pressed Atsu's head against his chest.
Atsu seemed to understand what he meant, and finally calmed down a little, but Lu Chen could still feel that this black wolf's body seemed to be trembling slightly.
"What's wrong?" He lowered his voice and asked softly.
Ah-Tu turned his head and called out in a low voice to the people below.
Lu Chen took a deep look at it, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Is there something down there?"
Atsu did not have any reaction, nor did it make any sound, but from the feeling that came from his arm, it seemed that this big dog's heartbeat and blood flow were all very fast.
Lu Chen let out a soft breath, nodded to Atsu, and then tilted his body, slowly, slowly began to tilt his body. Bit by bit, without any sound, he stretched his head to the side, and looked at the bottom of the stone platform, at the dark and bottomless black crack.
Under the stone platform, it was as dark as the sea.
But at this moment, there were already waves.
The darkness was like a tide, wave after wave, surging and slapping, as if there was something strange twisting, circling, and struggling under the darkness. It roared silently in the darkness, and bit by bit, it surged upwards.
