Chapter 99: If you are not loyal, you are not a dog

With the help of Xiaotian Dog, the efficiency of searching the mountain was greatly improved.

Roaring Sky Dog is also quite powerful. This kind of battle in the mountains and forests is the home ground of hunting dogs. Yang Xu is responsible for the main attack, and it assists from the side, occasionally delivering a fierce bite. As time goes by, the man and the dog gradually become proficient in cooperation.

[Search the Mountain and Subdue the Demons Mission Progress: 10%...]

[Search the Mountain and Subdue the Demons Mission Progress: 12%...]

[Search the Mountain and Subdue the Demons Mission Progress: 15%...]

……

In this way, the two of them fought their way all the way from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, leaving behind corpses of monsters and beasts everywhere, and the progress of the mission increased rapidly.

The sky gradually darkened and night soon fell. The light on the mountain was already dark, but neither of them had any intention of going down the mountain.

After Yang Xu opened his third eye, he already had a certain night vision ability, not to mention the Sky-Roaring Dog. The restrictions on other monsters in the mountains and forests at night would only be greater than for it.

Yang Xu has decided to complete the task of killing these one hundred monsters within this one night.

Under the hazy moonlight and starry night, in the mountains and forests, one monster after another was pierced by spears.

Yang Xu wielded his spear with all his might, stabbing, slicing, picking, chopping, and sweeping. He skillfully performed all the Yang family spear and sword techniques. The blade of the Demon-Breaking Spear was bleeding, and the sound of the spear breaking through the air echoed in the mountains and forests, mixed with the screams of various monsters.

The Yang Family Spear and Sword Principles, although it is just a basic skill, as its description says, it is an integrated offense and defense with endless uses.

There are records of Erlang Shen fighting in thousands of battles, both large and small, during his lifetime. Regardless of the outcome, he never suffered a loss in basic martial arts. This was thanks to this little-known family martial arts.

In the past, Yang Xu had always fought in a wild way, relying purely on reaction and speed to deal with others. Now he was really using formal shooting skills, and he quickly discovered that these mature and systematic routines were indeed much more useful than his own xjbd.

After continuous fierce battles, Yang Xu's physical strength was rapidly lost, and his arms were very sore. However, seeing the experience and spoils in the backpack accumulating quickly, he felt a great sense of achievement. It would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity for improvement.

So Yang Xu still insisted on killing monsters. When he got tired, he would absorb a demon pill on the spot to quickly restore his energy and blood, and then turn around to fight again.

In this way, the two fought from dusk to dawn.

At five o'clock in the morning, as Yang Xu shot a cat demon in the head, the long-awaited system prompt finally popped up.

[Search the Mountain and Subdue the Demons Mission Progress: 100%! ]

[You have completed the quest to search the mountains and conquer the demons. You can go to the Tianmu Immortal Temple to submit the quest.]

"Finally done!"

Yang Xu breathed a sigh of relief. After a whole night of frantic fighting, his body was exhausted to the extreme.

The white dog beside him had been running with him all night and was also very tired. It was lying on the ground with its tongue hanging out, panting.

Yang Xu sat down on the ground, holding a demon pill to restore his energy and blood, with his back against a big tree, and opened the panel to check his harvest.

Of the one hundred monsters hunted that night, the vast majority were 1-star, very few were 2-star, and none were 3-star or above.

It’s not that there are no 3-star monsters on the mountain. The high-level monsters are gathered in the back mountain where the mountains are higher and the forests are denser, so the two did not touch them.

Monsters above three stars, with two levels of star suppression, would be extremely difficult to kill. Killing them would be extremely time-consuming, and once surrounded, there would indeed be some danger to one's life. Their mission only required quantity, so there was no need to actively increase the difficulty.

The 100 monsters provided them with a total of more than 6500 experience points. Except for the first five that Yang Xu killed alone, the rest were shared equally by the two.

With this wave of experience, Yang Xu's level was raised to level 8, and the little white dog was at level 7, which was very close to level 8.

Then there were demon pills and some demon beast materials. Except for some demon pills used to restore strength, the remaining 90 or so demon pills, as well as some demon beast furs and bones that could be exchanged for money, were also harvested and taken away by the two.

In addition, while searching the mountain, they found a cat demon's lair and luckily discovered a treasure in it.

[Warm Jade Storage Ring: A jade ring imbued with abundant fire energy, it protects the wearer from the cold and provides 27 cubic meters of storage space.]

A storage ring, and a ring with special functions!

The cat demon hid the ring under his nest to warm his bed. If it weren't for Roaring Sky Dog's nose, he would have almost missed it.

Yang Xu equipped the ring on the spot and threw all the materials and demon pills he had collected overnight into it.

Coming back to his senses, Yang Xu looked at the sky.

They arrived yesterday at the Chen hour, around seven in the morning, and they would return to Blue Star in two hours.

Before that, they need to rush back to Erlang Shen Temple to complete the certification.

After a short rest, Yang Xu and Bai Quan got up and went down the mountain.

Fortunately, their levels and attributes were greatly improved that night. They rushed all the way and finally returned to the Tianmu Temple before seven o'clock.

There was no one in the shrine, only the stone statue of Erlang Shen stood majestically.

Yang Xu walked to the altar, put down the last half of the spirit stone on his body, and put two more demon pills.

As the tributes were in place, the entire temple was filled with golden light.

From Yang Xu's divine eye perspective, Erlang Shen's spirit shadow appeared again on the surface of the stone statue.

Erlang Shen saw Yang Xu, looked him over carefully, and nodded: "Not bad, not bad."

The task was completed in one day. Yang Xu thought Erlang Shen would say something to encourage him, but nothing happened. He just said two good words and then turned his gaze to the little white dog beside him.

This time, Erlang Shen didn't even give a single comment. He glanced at the white dog, then looked at the white stone sculpture of a small dog beneath him. Without saying anything, he waved his hand and a golden light fell on Yang Xu, then he fell silent.

As Erlang Shen's shadow vanished, the statue of Roaring Sky Dog beside him began to emit golden light. A tiny, armored dog emerged, also opening its mouth and emitting a golden light that landed on the little white dog. Yang Xu had no time to worry about the little white dog; a flood of notifications were already appearing on his dashboard.

[You have gained the recognition of the True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao. The Young Yang Jian skin has been unlocked and can be used in real life.]

[The basic compatibility of Young Yang Jian's skin has been increased to 15%.]

[Young Yang Jian's skin level cap increased to level 20.]

[Skin attribute unlocked: (Justice) (Pride) (Filial Piety)]

[Young Yang Jian skin has gained new skills:
Companion: While Roaring Dog is near you, you gain (0) Free Attributes. Unlocks at Level 10.

Third Eye - Insight: Actively release, use the third eye to explore the origin of matter, can obtain detailed information about objects or creatures, and has a chance to see through their weaknesses. Each use consumes 5 mana. Unlocked at level 15.

In just one mission, his compatibility increased by 14%! This was probably Erlang Shen's recognition of his completion of the mission in one day.

In addition, there are two new skills. One is the advanced skill of the Sky Eye, which needs to be released actively and can detect detailed information of things, similar to the Eye of All-Seeing.

The second one made Yang Xu a little confused. Partner, it seems that it should be a collaborative skill between him and Xiaotian Dog. When the two are around each other, they can each increase a certain amount of attributes, but what the hell is getting 0 points?

Before he could figure it out, he suddenly heard the little white dog beside him whine.

Yang Xu turned his head and saw the white dog bathed in golden light, but the whole dog was lying on the ground, holding its head with its paws, rolling desperately, with a look of extreme pain on its face.

"What's going on?" Yang Xu was confused. Could it be that Bloody Darkness failed the inheritance mission?

Yang Xu couldn't help but look at the stone sculpture of a white dog behind the altar.

Roaring Sky Dog's spirit remained in the same place. Meeting Yang Xu's gaze, it spoke in human language: "If I'm not loyal, I'm not a dog."

Yang Xu immediately understood that it was because Bloody An, as the successor of Roaring Sky Dog, had not yet sincerely submitted to him, the successor of Yang Jian, so Roaring Sky Dog refused to certify him.

"Well, loyalty can actually be cultivated slowly..."

Yang Xu looked at the little white dog struggling in pain, then at the stone sculpture of Roaring Sky Dog, and couldn't help but plead for mercy.

He could fully understand the dilemma faced by Bloody Dark.

Loyalty is a very unfamiliar term for open-minded modern people. Especially for a person to be absolutely loyal to another person, it is simply a fantasy unless they are brainwashed.

It is often said that actions are judged rather than the heart, and no one is perfect when it comes to the heart. However, now, the certification requirement for Roaring Sky Dog is to force the heart to be judged. One must submit to another person from the bottom of his heart in order to obtain the inheritance. The more proud a person is, the more difficult it will be to pass this level.

Putting himself in the other person's shoes, Yang Xu felt that if he were in Bloody Darkness's position, he probably wouldn't be able to overcome this hurdle.

So Yang Xu subconsciously pleaded for mercy, but was rejected by Xiaotian Dog, who shook his head firmly: "Loyalty is the bottom line of accepting Xiaotian's inheritance."

Yang Xu frowned, looking at the unyielding look of the Sky Roaring Dog's phantom, then at the little white dog rolling on the ground in pain. Finally, he sighed, suddenly stood up, rushed to the stone platform, and waved his hand to knock away the remaining spirit stones and demon pills on the altar.

Judging from the condition of the little white dog, it is obviously impossible to complete the inheritance. In short, let's stop the ceremony first.

The shadow of Roaring Sky Dog saw Yang Xu's actions and guessed what he wanted to do. He just glanced at him sideways and did not stop him.

"Wait, don't..."

As a result, the little white dog spoke in human language with difficulty and stopped Yang Xu.

Yang Xu looked back in surprise. The little white dog's struggle on the ground slowed down. It looked at Yang Xu who rushed to the table. The look in its eyes changed from resistance to unwillingness, and finally, to resignation.

"Forget it, as long as I can get revenge, it doesn't matter if I live my life as a dog..."

Along with this thought, the pain in the bloody dark sea of ​​consciousness suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The golden light sank into the body, and the white dog completely stopped struggling, but its body grew rapidly. In just a few seconds, it turned into a white-haired young man.

The boy was in his teens, with a body shape and skin similar to the Taoist boy. He had short white hair, slightly pointed ears, a slightly large and red nose, and four slightly protruding fangs in his mouth. Apart from these few barely visible canine features, he looked exactly like a human.

As the little white dog transformed into a human form, Yang Xu suddenly noticed that the information on the panel had changed.

The attribute added by the previously acquired 'Partner' skill has been increased from 0 points to 10 points.

"you……"

Yang Xu looked at the white-haired boy in front of him with some surprise. He didn't know what kind of mental journey Bloody Dark had just experienced, but it seemed that he really completed the psychological transformation by himself and gained the recognition of Roaring Sky Dog?
At this moment, a prompt sounded in the ears of both of them at the same time.

[This projection will only last 30 seconds. Please reach a relatively safe area within 30 seconds.]

The stay time was about to end, but I didn’t expect to be reminded until the last half minute.

The white-haired boy had obviously heard the voice as well. He looked towards Yang Xu with a complicated expression. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly said, "Broken Shadow."

"What?" Yang Xu didn't understand what he meant.

"Duanying, the forum ID of this new skin, is the "Duan" of "drawing a sword to cut water" and the "Ying" of "shadow."

Only then did Yang Xu realize that he was telling him his contact information after returning.

Yang Xu thought for a moment and quickly said a name: "Sanmu, the three in one, two, three, and the wood in wood."

The white-haired boy nodded.

A white light began to shine on the ground, and the two were almost swallowed up by the white light at the same time and disappeared into the temple.
