There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

Bai Jie and Si Bu Xiang blinked and looked around. There was a small pool of water that seemed out of place.

The mountains were fiery red, not to mention there was hardly any vegetation to be seen.

The surface temperature was a bit high, and they felt like they were soaking in a hot spring.

Bai Jie has good heat resistance and is protected by the Holy Spirit, so she won't get too hot.

He checked on the four creatures; apart from sweating a little, they seemed fine.

There were only a few plants on the ground that looked like they were about to wither.

"What kind of beasts are you!?"

Bai Jie heard an unfamiliar voice, turned around, and found a black, canine-like divine beast staring fiercely at them from the shore.

The black divine beast was also puzzled. There were no signs of any creatures nearby, so why did two divine beasts suddenly emerge from the hot spring?

He often comes to this hot spring to wash himself and replenish his water supply.

Upon seeing the divine beast's appearance, Bai Jie realized that she and the Four-Faced Beast had likely trespassed on its territory.

The Four-Faced Beast tugged at Bai Jie's tail. "Golden Thread, shall we hurry up and leave?"

"Ahem, sorry, no offense intended, we'll be going now."

Bai Jie coughed lightly, and then she and Si Bu Xiang dived into the water.

'? ? ? '

"Don't even think about running away!" The black divine beast also plunged into the water.

These two beasts can appear here silently. What if they suddenly rush out while I'm taking a bath?

Bai Jie saw that the black divine beast had actually followed them.

It was faster than the Four No-Four.

The black mythical beast became increasingly alarmed as it swam; when did this hot spring become so deep?

The chase hasn't stopped.

With a flash of blue light, they reappeared in another place.

"..." The black divine beast swam to the surface with Bai Jie and the others. Looking at the scene before it, the beast was completely distraught.

The yellow sand stretched as far as the eye could see, with only this small patch of green and a small pond.

Where did I come from? Is this still my home?

"You, take me back!" The black divine beast seemed a little flustered and angry.

His breathing became heavier, and there was a faint glow between his breaths.

"Emmm... I didn't ask you to catch up, did I?" Bai Jie said, shrugging her hands.

Bai Jie and Si Bu Xiang were normally clean and dry because of the Holy Spirit, while the black divine beast was wet, but as its breathing became heavier, the water on its body evaporated rapidly.

Hearing Bai Jie's words, the black divine beast seemed even angrier, roaring!

A ball of flame shot out of his mouth, heading straight for Bai Jie.

Bai Jie was startled. He had only encountered physical damage before, so how was he supposed to deal with this sudden magical damage?

Without much thought, his body suddenly grew larger, the Holy Spirit covered his claws, and he blocked the flames.

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh~'

The Holy Spirit was too fragile; it shattered within seconds of touching the flames, leaving slight burn marks on its claws.

Bai Jie's eyes sharpened, and she slammed her claws into the pool, then splashed water at the black divine beast.

The black mythical beast, which was about to unleash flames again, had its flames extinguished instantly by the splashed water.

"...?" No, you guys have no sportsmanship!

It then charged up again, only to be extinguished by the splashed water.

"...You've gone too far!"

Seeing that splashing water was a good idea, Si Bu Xiang also splashed water at the black mythical beast.

Already annoyed, he was then splashed with water, and in a fit of rage, he lunged at the Four-Faced Beast.

What are you doing here?!

Bai Jie saw that this guy didn't hit him, but instead pounced on the Four-Faced Beast.

'Ha, I don't know any magic. Do you think I can't beat you physically? And you dare touch my Qilin? What kind of creature are you?'

Bai Jie's claws arrived in an instant, amplified by a power control technique, and with ten times the power, she slapped the black divine beast's head.

"Snap!" A crisp sound rang out.

It sounded like something breaking.

The black mythical beast was slammed onto the shore, its mind buzzing, its eyes turning into mosquito coil-like eyes, and it lost its ability to fight!

"Hmm...is it really this crispy?" Bai Jie was slightly stunned. He swear, he hadn't expected this!

Wasn't the previous one hit by him with ten times the force and forced back several meters, or even caught the blow directly?

That would knock them out, wouldn't it?

If you're weak, you're weak. Why pretend you're strong when you don't have the physique?

Bai Jie thought to herself that she had trespassed on someone else's territory first, and now she had knocked them unconscious and brought them the desert. If she just walked away like this, the black divine beast would probably cry its eyes out.

Anyway, this guy is so weak and not a threat. Just gag him and he should be fine.

We'll ask him about that fiery red mountain later.

"Golden Thread, your claws are injured!" Four-Faced Beast said, looking at Bai Jie's claws.

His eyes were filled with heartache.

Then his tongue began to lick it.

"Ah, it's alright, I have a little burn from 'Springtime' that won't heal in a minute~" Bai Jie said, but she didn't refuse Si Bu Xiang's kindness.

Fortunately, the black divine beast fainted. We wondered if there were any other beasts.

Otherwise, the difference in height would be so great that it would elicit a "whoosh".

After the burn marks on her claws disappeared, Bai Jie swam ashore and patted the black divine beast's head with her paw.

Good, I slept peacefully.

As the 'Springtime' energy circulated, it repaired the black divine beast's dog head.

His breathing gradually calmed down, and now it was just a matter of waiting for him to wake up on his own.

About ten minutes later.

"Phew~ What's wrong with me? My head hurts so much—" The black divine beast woke up.

It seems that I was knocked unconscious by something?

"Hey, wake up."

Bai Jie said, chewing on the meat in her storage space.

"..." The black divine beast seemed about to lash out again.

Bai Jie reacted quickly, using a strap to wrap around the dog's mouth.

Then they pulled the dog to the edge of the pond.

The meaning is already quite clear.

The dog's eyes instantly became clear.

"Next, I will ask you questions and you will answer them. Do you understand?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-" the dog nodded repeatedly.

Bai Jie untied the strap, allowing the dog to breathe heavily.

"Who are you, and what was that place before?"

"My name is Huodou, and that used to be where I lived," Huodou said.

Huo Dou? I think it's the mount of Zhu Rong, the god of fire?

"Do you have another master? Someone named Zhu Rong?" Bai Jie asked.

"Yes, yes, but my master is usually not around, so I'm the only beast there." Huodou nodded his head vigorously.

Bai Jie rubbed his chin. If he remembered correctly, Zhu Rong should be a dog lover second only to Yang Jian.

Hmm...it seems like she's afraid of water?

His spiritual power grew along with the power of his dreams, and he had not forgotten these past events.

"So why did you insist on chasing after us to fight?"

"...Do you think you would let a strange beast come and go from your home at will?" Huodou rolled his eyes.

This is a ticking time bomb; it's unbelievable that this person could even ask such a question.

Bai Jie paused, as if that was the case?
