It was unknown when Fugui had fully developed his intelligence, but he became adept at saving people, which surprised Chen An greatly.

But it's not too surprising. Fugui was originally the spirit beast that followed the female lead. He was tricked into joining Chen An's group, and Chen An had expected that Fugui would be extraordinary in the future.

Fu Gui has consumed far too many resources, and Chen An has almost run out of the wealth he had accumulated.

After Chen An regained his breathing, he asked the flying fish crocodile to take him back first.

The flying crocodile obeyed Chen An's words without question, obediently lying down at Chen An's feet and twisting its neck to signal her to come up.

Before Chen An could even lift his foot, Fu Gui jumped up first.

Flying Crocodile was very unhappy that Fugui had offended Chen An, but Chen An didn't care. She knew that cats were all like that and should be pampered.

Fu Gui remembered all the kindness Chen An had shown him. Even when Chen An blamed him, Fu Gui would only think of making amends to Chen An instead of betraying him and seeking another master.

The Flying Crocodile's wings have grown considerably in recent days, making it incredibly majestic when gliding through the air, far surpassing the power of mythical beasts like peacocks.

As he was thinking this, three familiar faces appeared to Chen An's right rear.

A motley crew of idiots, consisting of a bulbous nose and two stick insects, sped up riding a nearly bald male peacock.

"Senior sister, I apologize for what happened last time. I am Cui Sinian. You haven't forgotten me, have you?"

The sounds behind him made Chen An feel nauseous. He had no idea why these three idiots had come here.

They are still outside the Zhaoning Sect, where dangers lurk everywhere. Chen An's cultivation level is sufficient for other places.

Dealing with these three was quite a challenge for her.

"Boost."

Chen An ignored the three troublemakers and leaned down to whisper to the Flying Fish Crocodile.

The flying crocodile flapped its wings and immediately increased its speed.

However, the mounts of these three people, those bald peacocks, were clearly quite powerful as well.

It raised its head and let out a long cry, quickly catching up with the flying fish crocodile and steadily following beside Chen An.

No matter how the flying fish crocodile accelerates, decelerates, turns, or descends, it cannot get rid of this plague god by its side; remember its nostrils constantly widening.

Chen An knew these people were after him, so he gently patted the flying crocodile's back to make it descend.

The flying crocodile was unwilling, but it could only obediently fall.

Before they had even descended two or three meters, Fu Gui, who was in front of Chen An, leaped up and kicked the two stick insects behind Garlic Nose down with one of his legs.

The man with the bulbous nose twitched his eyes slightly, pinched his nose, and then looked at Fugui, who was about the size of a tiger cub, with ill intent.

These people were more powerful than him, and Chen An was not confident that he could defeat them. However, Fu Gui's feat of kicking two of them at once made Chen An sigh with delight that his spirit stones had not been wasted.

The man with the bulbous nose wanted to attack Fugui, but Fugui lightly leaped and landed in front of Chen'an.

Knowing he had no chance of winning, Cui Sinian, with his bulbous nose, didn't intend to linger. He rode the peacock, hoping it would carry him away.

"Chase."

The flying crocodile increased its speed, but it was no match for the peacock, and Chen An felt extremely distressed.

Today, Cui Sinian's two henchmen were kicked down by Fu Gui, and they have no chance of survival. If he escapes back to the sect, it will be difficult to resolve this problem.

Fu Gui turned to look at Chen An, his pupils shrinking silently. Chen An looked at the still adorable Fu Gui and asked excitedly, "You have a way!"

Fu Gui nudged Chen An's knee with his head, then turned and breathed on the peacock in front of him.

Seeing Fugui slacking off, Chen An gently patted its head. Fugui bumped Chen An's hand away with its head and barked.

The peacock in front slowed down and descended towards the hilltop below.

"My good Fugui, I haven't spoiled you for nothing. If I had known you were this powerful, I would have earned more spirit stones to feed you."

The flying crocodile followed closely behind the peacock as it descended. Cui Sinian, unable to control the peacock and witnessing Chen An and Fu Gui's methods, decided to fight to the death.

He drew his sword and brandished it wildly behind him, the sword energy from the blade slashing towards Chen An repeatedly.

Chen An summoned the Ebony Sword and held it in his hand, swinging it left and right to easily block Cui Sinian's attacks.

Fu Gui was very fast. In his eyes, Cui Sinian's attack was not enough. The Flying Fish Crocodile had thick skin and was unaffected by such an attack.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Cui Sinian took out a pill and swallowed it.

In an instant, his muscles were filled with enormous energy, his clothes ripped apart, and flesh and blood were exposed from the cracked skin.

This method of inflicting ten thousand casualties on the enemy while losing eight thousand of one's own is indeed admirable, but no cultivator would use it unless absolutely necessary. Not to mention anything else, the side effects alone are frightening enough.

Cui Sinian, panting heavily, swung his sword again. This time, his moves were no different from before, but his speed and power had increased considerably.

The flying crocodile didn't seem to affect Fu Gui much, but it was becoming increasingly difficult for Chen An to withstand it.

Seeing Chen An's serious expression, Fu Gui lightly leaped up and bit Chen An's sleeve holding the sword.

With a forceful pull, Chen An's sleeve was ripped open, and Fu Gui leaped again, grabbing Chen An's hand tightly.

A sword light shot straight at his face. Chen An tried to dodge, but it was too late. He frowned and used his left hand to cover his face.

With Fu Gui's determined expression, Cui Si Nian's sword energy was deflected by a layer of yellow light emanating from Chen An.

Chen An, who thought he was going to die or be seriously injured after the array stone was eaten by Fu Gui, instantly calmed down when he felt the power in his body that he could use without having to summon it.

The sword energy that was deflected struck Cui Sinian's wrist, causing him to fall down in pain.

Judging from the distance, Cui Sinian has a high chance of surviving. Chen An patted the flying fish crocodile on the back, and the flying fish crocodile gently raised its head and immediately flew down.

As a black wall of runes stood before Chen An, a large black hand grasped the wings of the flying crocodile.

With a forceful flick of those large hands, the Flying Fish Crocodile, along with Chen An and Fu Gui, plummeted downwards.

The flying crocodile flapped its other wing with all its might, but it was no match for the overwhelming force.

The black talisman wall rotated once, tightly surrounding them, and then moved into a square house.

Upon landing, Fugui used the momentum to jump upwards, grabbed the creature several times its own size with its two claws, and lifted it up forcefully.

None of the three suffered fatal injuries after falling, but Chen An was still seriously injured.

Touching the pills in his storage bag, Chen An swallowed another one. Fortunately, the things the system gave him had no side effects; otherwise, no body could withstand such abuse.

After recovering, Chen An checked on Fu Gui and Flying Fish Crocodile to make sure neither of them was injured. Then, he frowned as he looked at the small, square box of black energy in front of him.

Chen An dared not make any rash moves and was still observing when Fu Gui leaped forward and disappeared.

The flying crocodile covered its eyes with its wings, hiding behind Chen An and trembling incessantly. It would occasionally peek out with its eyes, but dared not make any further moves.
