Chapter 12: Hellhounds
The giant flying fox spreads its two curved wings and runs and circles in the air. It stopped chirping, flapping its wings and swooping down towards Xiao Ran.
"Quick...... Run, Xiao Ran......!"
Xiao Ran didn't stop for a moment, and ran towards the cave after Chu Muyu, the giant flying fox didn't seem to intend to let them go, and chased after him.
"Get down, Xiao Ran......!"
Chu Muyu and Xiao Ran pounced on the ground, and the giant flying fox roared past them, slicing through the clothes behind Chu Muyu with its claws, and stopped in front of them.
"Are you okay, Brother Mu Yu!" Xiao Ran helped Chu Muyu up, and the two looked at the demon beast in front of them, not daring to move even a step.
"It's okay, you hide behind me, it seems that we can't leave without getting rid of it. Chu Muyu ran the Yunding Technique, gathered his aura, ran forward two steps into the air, and slapped it towards the head of the giant flying fox.
The demon beast instigated its wings and flew up, easily dodging Chu Muyu's palm, and grabbed Chu Muyu's back with its hind paws, hanging him in the air.
"You let go of Brother Mu Yu......" Xiao Ran's angry eyes turned purple, and suddenly the cold was overwhelming, and the temperature in the cave dropped sharply. Xiao Ran's whole body was white, and several icicles as sharp as knives were gathered in each of his hands, and the icicles slowly hung in the air, floating in front of Xiao Ran's eyes.
The claws of the giant flying fox grabbed Chu Muyu's back fiercely, and the claws cut into his flesh, leaving blood on his back. He tried to break free, but the more he broke free from the demon beast, the tighter he clung to it, and the pain in his back made him dare not move, only hanging passively in the air.
"Heh" The icicles hanging in front of Xiao Ran's eyes split into two ways and flew towards the giant flying fox, the giant flying fox closed its eyes, still clearly felt Xiao Ran's attack, and flew half a body higher in the air, and the first few icicles flew out under Chu Muyu's body. The next few icicles were originally aimed at its head, but as it moved upward, it hit its hind legs, and the giant flying fox howled and let go of Chu Muyu.
Xiao Ran hurriedly ran over and helped Chu Muyu to run towards the cave, the pain in the giant fox's foot made him howl all the time, and he opened his eyes angrily, his blood-red eyes had the ability to charm and bewitch people, and he quickly chased after him.
"Brother Mu Yu, are you okay?" Xiao Ran didn't dare to look at Chu Muyu's back, those few deep scratches made people's hearts tremble when they looked at it.
"It's nothing, run now, it's about to catch up. Chu Muyu endured the pain in his back and quickened his pace. They passed through a short aisle and ran to a large, open area where many trees and plants grew.
"What's that......" Xiao Ran looked at the fire in front of her, getting closer and closer.
"Head down......" Chu Muyu pressed Xiao Ran's head with his hand, and a fireball flew over their heads, which really smashed on the giant flying fox that caught up behind.
The giant flying fox instantly ignited its whole body and fell from the sky, howling loudly and flapping its wings on the ground. The smell of burning dust stirred up by the wings filled the surroundings.
The pungent smell made Chu Muyu and Xiao Ran cover their noses and look at the giant flying fox that was still struggling on the ground, and it didn't take long for it to be quiet.
"What is this......" Chu Muyu was a little puzzled by where this flame came from.
"Brother Mu Yu, we may be in trouble!" Xiao Ran looked around, observing carefully. pulled Chu Muyu behind the tree next to him and motioned for him not to speak.
As soon as they crouched down, a huge figure in the distance jumped towards the charred giant flying fox.
"This is the Hellhound, it can smell the giant flying foxes from a long distance, and specializes in preying on them to increase their cultivation, and the Hellhound is also their nemesis. Xiao Ran said in a low voice.
Hellhound: Large canine monster, 10,000-year-old monster. Strength, agility, resistance to all fire spell attacks, sense of smell and sensitivity, can use all parts of fire spells.
The Hellhound smelled something unusual in the neighborhood and stopped. Chu Muyu and Xiao Ran didn't dare to make any movements, hiding behind the tree and observing its movements.
"Xiao Ran, if it finds us in a while, you will run as soon as possible, I will help you in front of you, run as far as you can, don't hesitate. You know ......?"
"I don't want to, I want to be with you. You can't leave me behind!" Xiao Ran said in a somewhat coquettish tone.
"Don't be stupid, the two of us are together, no one can escape, I am for the master, I must find the seven-colored grass. You're different, there's no need to accompany me on adventures. ”
Xiao Ran looked at her brother Mu Yu with some grievances, and didn't answer, just quietly stayed by his side.
The Hellhound observed for a long time, stopped at the tree where they were hiding, and walked over slowly. Chu Muyu blocked Xiao Ran with one hand and slowly retreated.
Suddenly, the Hellhound sped up and pounced on them.
"Run......" Chu Muyu pushed Xiao Ran away, but Xiao Ran didn't stand firm while retreating, and fell on his heels. The Hellhound slapped the tree they were hiding from with its front paws, and the tree was snapped off in an instant.
Chu Muyu and the hellhound looked at each other, this size was indescribably big for Chu Muyu, the biggest object he had ever seen was the Lingwu Hall of Yunding Peak, but the pressure brought to him by the demon beast in front of him caused his legs and feet to become weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.
The gas exhaled from the Hellhound's nose was like the heat emitted from the magma, and from time to time it carried flames. Nine saber-shaped barbs stretched from the top of their heads to their backs, the nails of their limbs digging deep into the dirt, and two fierce eyes staring at the two of them.
Chu Muyu had never felt such a strong pressure, he felt his limbs stiffen as he sat on the ground, and he didn't listen to the command of his brain at all, so he could only watch the hellhound slowly approach. He tried to stir up the aura, but in his panic he could no longer concentrate.
The hellhound jumped up the moment he started and pounced on Chu Muyu, Chu Muyu didn't know what to do, waiting for only the full force of this powerful demon beast to strike.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Xiao Ran...... What are you doing?" Chu Muyu shouted.
Xiao Ran stood in front of him without any scruples, Chu Muyu's eyes were a little moist, if he and Xiao Ran had swapped positions just now, he would not have made such a choice for the sake of the friend he had just known for a day. Xiao Ran's move deeply impacted Chu Muyu's heart.
Xiao Ran's whole body was wrapped in snow-white light, and the Heart-loving Exercise was raised to the realm of 'Demon Child'.
"Ice shield ......," Xiao Ran's crisp shout, it was not difficult to hear her determination to protect Chu Muyu at this moment.
A thick layer of ice surrounded Xiao Ran's whole body, and she stood inside without giving in at all. When the hellhound approached Xiao Ran, the high temperature made the thick ice shield instantly turn into a talk of clear water and sprinkle it on the ground. This claw slapped heavily on Xiao Ran's right shoulder.
"Xiao Ran......"
This claw directly slapped Xiao Ran away, and fell heavily on the trunk next to him, Chu Muyu ran over and hugged Xiao Ran in his arms, and tears finally flowed from his already moist eyes.
"Xiao Ran...... I'll let you go, why do you ...... for me" Chu Muyu was a little speechless.
"Brother...... It's okay, you can ...... now Let's go!"
