The chains rattled, binding the hellhound to its spot, but the hellhound continued to claw and howl, determined to tear the group apart.

Finally, as if it had gotten tired of scratching, it stopped roaring and just started sharpening its claws in place.

Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and said thankfully, "Luckily there's an iron chain here."

Black Bear took a few steps back, his expression serious as he reminded him, "Young Master, don't be so quick to celebrate. It's just an ordinary iron chain, with embroidery on it. When it pulled forward just now, one of the links almost broke. How could such an iron chain restrain it? It's probably just playing a trick on us."

He retreated to a position not far from Ling Xiao and Xie Yuhua.

"Wouldn't that mean we're being played by a dog?" Wu Xie slowly backed away.

"What's there to be discouraged about? It's not shameful. This thing has three heads, while you only have one." Although it was meant to comfort him, Wu Xie still felt that it would have been better if Hei Xiazi hadn't said anything at all.

Jieyuhua gripped Lingxiao's hand tightly, leaning half her body against him, while holding the dragon-patterned staff in a defensive stance with her other hand. She asked Chengyu for a nine-section whip, worried that if anything happened, the child might not be able to protect himself, so it would be more convenient to have a handy weapon.

"It's been a long time since I've seen my old friend." Ling Xiao weighed the nine-section whip in his hand.

"I should have given it to you a long time ago." There was a hint of self-reproach in Xie Yuhua's voice.

"Roar!" Another roar followed, and the hellhound began to exert its strength. With a sudden burst, just as Black Bear had said, the iron chain was finally broken.

"Wu Xie, open your Thousand Chance Umbrella, switch it to shield mode, and hide in the back," Ling Xiao instructed Wu Xie.

After Wu Xie finished adjusting the Thousand Chance Umbrella, he ran up to him and said, "I promised to protect you. How can you hide in the corner at a critical moment? I can't let a dog fool me. I've improved too. Don't you want to see?"

"Wu Xie, go to the back."

"Then I'll leave it to Wuxie."

Jieyuhua and Lingxiao spoke at the same time.

Wu Xie smiled at Ling Xiao and cautiously stepped forward, holding the Thousand Chance Umbrella.

The hellhound leaped out and charged at the group. Wu Xie was startled, but remembering that his weapon was the only one that could withstand the flames and venom, he took a few more steps forward.

The dog on the left started breathing fire as soon as it saw people. Fortunately, the ear chamber was still damp, so the flames weren't too big. Although Wu Xie blocked most of the flames, it still had some impact. A small amount of flames ignited his trouser leg, but it was quickly extinguished.

The fat man picked up a bunch of limbs and bombarded the hellhound with them, saying to Wuxie as he threw them, "Well done! Naive!" But in the hellhound's eyes, his behavior was comparable to feeding it.

"You fatso, stop feeding them!" Black Bear suddenly fired at the hellhounds, but the shot hit the tooth of the hellhound on the left that was spitting fire...

With one tooth knocked out, the hellhounds sensed the threat and focused their attack on the person who had fired at them.

No matter how much the fat man fed him, it was no longer effective. Cheng Yu thought of shifting the target of the hellhound and fired several shots at it, but he didn't even touch a hair on the hellhound.

It's not really Cheng Yu's fault. This hellhound was just too cunning. It was already tough enough to deal with Hei Xiazi with only one head. Basically, the other two heads saw Cheng Yu before he even fired.

Wu Xie wanted to step forward to shield Hei Xiazi from the fire, but he seemed to be in the way. Going up would only make things worse, preventing Hei Xiazi from attacking and forcing him to be distracted and protect him.
