Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.

A charred black branch, passing through a fat sheep that had been skinned and dismantled, slowly roasted on the flames.

The sheep was neither big nor small, fat and thin, and the flames shrouded its smooth body, making it look shiny.

The tongue of fire licks the tender mutton, making a beeping sound, which is extremely appetizing.

As time passed, a simple but rich smell of meat slowly spread, and the fragrance slowly wafted across the woodland and into the distance.

I don't know when,

In the shadows of the woodland, a tall black shadow slowly lurked along the scent.

What is this fragrance?

Like food cooked by humans, are there humans around?

The Shadow laughed happily, but silently, remembering the hunter it had eaten years ago, and began to miss the delicacy of human flesh.

Today, can you have another good meal?

Cautiously and silently poking its head out through the deep grass, it even secreted fishy saliva between its lips and teeth because of the long-lost desire for some kind of deliciousness.

however

The moment it poked its head out, the moment it saw the situation not far away, its body that was about to pounce suddenly froze, and a deep fear appeared on its face, as if it had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

"It's this horrible creature!" the dark shadow let out a silent wail.

Although he is just a spirit and is insignificant in the eyes of the other party, the spirit naturally has a circle of spirits, so it has heard the other party's name.

The other party is a demon dog that has become famous in recent years, and it is said that he has a thirst for killing, and his temperament is extremely bad, and he will not let go of any object that can be hunted, even if it is those real demon beasts, they are afraid of him.

The black shadow swallowed quietly and spit, terrified in his heart.

What's more, it is said that the other party's sensing is extremely sensitive, and it can detect the slightest movement of the prey from dozens of feet away!

Will you have been discovered by the other party at this time?

He thought with fear, his body almost stiffened with fear.

It's not that it's too timid, it's that the rumors it's heard about the other party are too scary.

As a spirit that has lived in the Forest of Bones for many years, it naturally has its strengths, and it regained its composure as quickly as possible, suppressed the fear in its heart, and began to think.

The other party didn't make a move at this time, and it didn't seem to be aware of himself, so it seems that the rumors are not necessarily true.

It stared into the distance without blinking, knowing in its heart that the next moment would determine whether he would survive or not.

It regressed step by step, slowly moving backwards with its slowest movements, cautious and careful.

Well?

Its movements stopped.

It seems that something behind it is blocking its way out.

Suddenly it was dark.

It suddenly had an ominous premonition.

It turned its head and was shocked to find that behind it, a huge demon head was silently suspended in the air for some time, its shadow almost completely enveloping it, and it was now opening its bloody mouth and smiling silently at it.

......

"Alright, boss, how mature do you want to be?"

One end of the branch was caught between the claws of a fiery red dog, and at this time, it was continuously spitting slender flames from its mouth, scorching the mutton in front of it.

It was Lan Lie, a demon dog who had just recently become an adult.

Lan Lie skillfully turned the fat sheep, keeping the fire as even as possible, and carefully scorched the parts of the fat sheep that were not easy to bake, with professional movements, serious and focused.

From the beginning of accidentally roasting the whole wild sheep into charcoal, to now being skilled like a barbecue master, the devil knows what Lan Lie has experienced.

A lazy voice came from not far away.

"It's half-cooked, the kind with a little bloodshot. ”

Taking the roast whole sheep handed over by Lan Lie, the silver giant dog swallowed half of it in one bite, and muttered something like a little cumin.

This is undoubtedly Ranya.

At this time, Lanya, after three years of growth, has officially reached two zhang in height, stepping into the height of an adult demon dog in the definition of the canine family, although in Lanya's system display, Lanya, as a cangtian cloud dog, has just stepped into the puppy stage from a chick.

His combat power has increased a lot again, and his status in the dog clan is getting higher and higher.

At this time, Lanya is carrying out the daily task given to each adult demon dog in the dog clan, that is, patrolling the territory.

When he was a little demon dog before, he never understood why the adult demon dogs seemed to be idle, but he rarely saw them on the Iwatu Mountain, including Lanya's mother Lanluo.

It wasn't until later that Lanya discovered that many of the adult demon dogs of the original dog clan would be assigned to patrol the territory in addition to the hunting team.

The Canine Clan's territory is unusually large, occupying almost a quarter of the entire Forest of Bones.

And this vast territory naturally needs more members to protect and defend.

In the concept of the Yokai Race, the territory is extremely important, because the territory itself means food, safety, and habitat, and is the most important area for the Yokai, and because of this, the Canine Clan will send the Demon Dogs to patrol all directions of the territory every day.

The size of the Forest of Bones is limited, the food and resources are also limited, and the territory that produces resources is also limited, so the competition for territory among the youkai is naturally very fierce.

Almost every year, an adult demon dog dies in the battle for territory.

Especially in the past year, the dog demon clan, the evil ghost demon bird clan, and even the powerful monsters of the bone forest have been in turmoil and fighting, and fierce battles have broken out one after another for territory.

Among these many battles, there are several that can even be called wars, wars of yokai.

Then

A demon head like a demon's head flew quietly under the cover of knee-high grass, and finally landed in the hair between Lanya's neck with great skill, and there was even blood left between the demon head's teeth.

A moment later, new soul blood began to pour into Lanya's body.

With the infusion of wisps of soul blood, Lanya's demonic qi barely increased.

Ranya sighed in his heart.

I have to say that war is the best way for Ranya to obtain soul blood, because in the battle of the monsters, there will always be monsters who die, and it is extremely difficult to find hunted spirits and even monsters on weekdays, but in the monster war, they die one after another, and many of the souls of these dead monsters are cheaper than Ranya.

But just as everything has a limit, as Ranya first discovered, the increase in demonic energy brought by soul blood will drop rapidly with the number of times Araya uses it.

Just as a drug can be used too many times, drug resistance can increase rapidly.

From the very beginning, the soul of a spirit brought about a layer of increase to the amount of demonic energy that Lanya had at that time, and now, the growth of demonic energy brought by each spirit soul to Lanya has almost stopped.

But even so, Lanya's demonic aura has also increased tremendously in the past three years, and it has even easily reached the level of demonization.

At this time, he was already the most powerful group of demon beasts in the Bone Forest.

Of course, it's only at the monster level.

And in the past three years, it has changed greatly not only Lanya, but also the head of the evil ghost and demon bird.

Because every time a soul is hunted, part of the energy in it will be refined into soul blood by the demon head, and the other part of the energy will be absorbed by the demon head itself.

This mysterious demon weapon produced by the system has also been absorbing the energy in the souls of the monsters and growing in the past three years, and has undergone several transformations.

After three years of growth, this demon head has not only gained the ability to fly, but can also swell to the size of a house, and can easily bite into rocks the size of a buffalo.

But because he can't explain the origin of this demon weapon, Lan Ya has been hiding the existence of this demon weapon, otherwise, he is likely to not be able to keep this demon weapon, so for now, the demon head can only be used as a hole card that turns the tables at a critical moment.
