rocky peak,

In a quaint temple under the shade of ancient trees.

To the north of the bluestone square, with its rough stone lamps, dog statues, and shrines, there is a wooden and stone building that is slightly lower than the tall temple at the end of the square.

This is the residence of the three leaders of the dog clan, the leader of Lan Feng.

At this time, two adult demon dogs with pure white hair sat respectfully in front of the door, with serious expressions.

"Arashiki, Arashiba, you two guys are talking about...... That little guy named Lanya, who grew insanely and fell into a deep sleep inexplicably, was brought back from the Wild Wolf Valley by the little demon dogs?"

Lan Feng's hoarse and slightly gloomy voice rang out from inside the room.

The demon dog named Arashiba immediately replied:

"Yes, Commander, this was three days ago, when the little one's mother, Arashiro, found Elder Arashiku to check on ......"

"But later, I heard rumors in the clan, Elder Lan Gu said that the little guy had devoured something powerful with demonic power, and it would be difficult to completely digest it for a while, so he fell into a deep sleep, and there was no big deal......

Another demon dog named Lan Mu, while his companion was telling, he quietly raised his head to take a look, but saw Lan Feng's appearance at this time from the shadow of the crack in the door, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

Lan Feng in the room sat on a bluestone bed, still holding the black-handled thin knife with a sheath in his arms.

At this time, his appearance was extremely miserable.

A straight, huge laceration stretched from his face to his abdomen, the wound was so deep that it almost pierced his body in his chest, and even the bright red heart beating in Lan Feng's chest could be clearly seen from the exaggerated wound.

Half of his face was intact, but the other half of his face had been completely torn off, blood was dripping and flesh was blurred, and most of his gums were exposed, as terrifying as the evil ghost Shura.

One of his legs also hung limply to the ground, twisted and shapeless, broken into at least three or four pieces.

The monster's powerful constitution can quickly recover most ordinary injuries, and even the most terrible injuries, as long as they do not endanger vital points, such as the heart and skull, it is only a matter of time for the youkai to recover - as evidenced by the constant wriggling of flesh and blood trying to heal in the shocking scars.

However, a terrifying demonic aura visible to the naked eye was entrenched on the edge of his scars, stubbornly hindering the healing of the flesh and blood, and even turning some of Lan Feng's flesh and blood into a dry and dead dark red, which was very evil.

"Commander Lan Feng, who is this fighting with youkai...... Caused such a horrible injury......"

The demon dog Arashiki was surprised in his heart and secretly speculated.

"Hmm? Elder Lan Gu said that the little guy fell into a deep sleep because he devoured something with powerful demonic power?"

In the room, Lan Feng first narrowed his eyes suspiciously, and then as if he thought of something, his face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying, and he muttered to himself:

"Do you mean...... The demon blood was obtained by that little cub?"

"Damn! I'm fighting for it...... I almost died at the hands of those three bone demons, but I didn't get anything......"

Lan Feng had a faint guess in his heart, and he was suddenly furious, and he was about to struggle to stand up, but then he snorted again and sat down weakly.

"Damn!" he said, his face was extremely ugly, "this wound will take at least a few months to regain combat ability." ”

His face turned pale, and the thoughts in his mind kept rolling.

"In terms of the powerful demon power of the demon spirit blood, that little cub was actually not blown up, which means that he is very likely to have only swallowed a little bit, and most of the demon spirit blood must still be there, and it has not been consumed by him!"

"Great!"

He habitually narrowed his eyes again, and there was a faint cold light in his eyes.

"As long as I arrest that little guy now and force me to find out the whereabouts of the demon blood, isn't it still mine......"

He "swooped" and cast his eyes on the two demon dogs in front of him.

"You two, go and get that little cub of Lanya for me now, I have something to ask him!"

The two demon dogs glanced at each other, their faces suddenly a little embarrassed, and they said:

"Commander, all the elders and grand leaders of the clan attach great importance to that little guy......"

The two of them are not stupid, although Lan Feng said "I have something to ask him", how could they not see the killing intent that almost overflowed on Lan Feng's hideous and terrifying half of his face at this time.

"Huh?" Lan Feng raised his eyebrows, stared at the two demon dogs coldly, and said word by word in an unusually cold tone: "My words are not good?"

After a while, the two demon dogs trembled at the same time, lowered their heads in unison, and said that they didn't dare.

"Go ahead, the sooner the better, and it's best to get that little guy back for me before Elder Lan Gu knows about it. ”

He snorted, and then said sharply: "Of course, even if Elder Lan Gu knows, he will still follow it, just say that this is my order, understand?"

Of course, Lan Feng is not afraid of Elder Lan Gu, who is only at the level of demon beasts, but the trouble is that Elder Lan Gu is the father of the big leader of Lan Gu, and not many people know about this matter in the dog clan, but he, Lan Feng, as the leader, is of course one of them.

Therefore, more or less Lan Feng still has to give Elder Lan Gu a little face, if he can, he doesn't want to clash with Elder Lan Gu, so the best choice is to take Lan Ya down like lightning before everyone reacts.

With Lan Feng's final order, the two demon dogs also turned around and left, heading straight to the bottom of the mountain.

He leaned against the bluestone bed, squinting slightly, one hand rubbing the black handle of the thin knife in his arms, not knowing what he was thinking.

......

It was the longest sleep Ranya had since she was born, and it was also the most soundly slept.

He was woken up by the familiar barking of dogs.

He opened his eyes and found himself back in a familiar cave with a sleeping white lying next to him.

The white is naturally Lanya's mother, Lanluo, and this cave is the nest on the rocky mountain.

Lanya stood up, and immediately noticed that the familiar cave seemed to be much smaller, and then he realized that it was because of his size.

Obviously, it was only while Ranya was asleep that his body really began a new round of growth.

And beside Lanya, the female dog Lanluo was also awakened by Lanya's movements, and immediately stood up and came over.

"Lanya, are you alright?"

Lanya didn't just feel fine, his state at this time was simply very good, energetic, his mind was like electricity, every inch of his body was filled with a powerful force far beyond before, and the demonic energy in his body was surging, although it had not yet reached the point of demonization of adult demon dogs, but it was also very powerful.

At this time, he found that his mother Lan Luo in front of him was no longer as unattainable as before, but so close, he subconsciously compared the height gap between his mother and himself, and found that his height was close to Lan Luo, who was two zhang high, and came to one zhang five.

One zhang five, only one meter five away from his mother Lan Luo.

Although the height difference of 1.5 meters is almost the height of an adult, for the already large demon dogs, this is no longer a number that can only be seen from afar.

Lan Luo first watched Lan Ya wake up in surprise, and after a while, a pair of amber eyes looked directly at Lan Ya, and asked in a deep voice:

"How did you become ...... What does this look like?"

A few days ago, her son Lanya was suddenly brought back from the Wild Wolf Valley by several little demon dogs, and he fell asleep, his size skyrocketed, and his appearance changed greatly, making her almost unrecognizable.

Although she felt that this was probably not a bad thing, for the sake of safety, Lan Luo still invited Lan Gu, an elder who was highly respected and sympathetic to the younger generations, to check it out.

Elder Lan Gu said that Lan Ya had fallen into a deep sleep because she had swallowed something powerful with demonic power, but she was still worried.

When Lanya woke up at this time, she naturally couldn't help but ask.

Lanya was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that 'this look' was referring to his skyrocketing body size at this time.

This is obviously not a thing that can fool the past, and there are definitely many demon dogs in the clan who will be suspicious of the skyrocketing size of Lanya, Lanya thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth.

"I found a cave under a snowy peak in the Wolf Valley, and when I walked in, I ......"

What Lanya has done so far is beneficial and harmless to the canine clan, and it has also revealed the secret of the mysterious liquid secretly refined by the bone demon Jiayi.

In other words, Lanya is currently meritorious to the Canin, and he is only hiding a small part of the information when reporting to the clan, and using this small part of the information for his own benefit.

Besides, there is no direct evidence to prove that Ranya knew about Jiayi's lair and chose to hide it, he can completely deduce that he himself broke in unintentionally, and then accidentally swallowed all the mysterious liquid, and Ranya didn't know what was hidden in that lair.

This may sound like a very sophistical statement, but it is normal in the logic of the yokai, because most of the youkai are creatures that tend to be evil and orderly, and no one thinks that it is a mistake to find a treasure and hide it secretly and then take it privately.

So, Ranya only needed a plausible reason.

Of course, if Ranya was found to be carrying that mysterious liquid on his body at this time, then the nature of the matter would be completely different.

Adult demon dogs of the same clan will unceremoniously come and snatch Ranya's things, unless it is Ranya's mother.

This is precisely because in the bandit logic of the monsters, of course it is not wrong for you to secretly conceal information and seize treasures privately, so I am stronger than you and can naturally snatch your things as a matter of course, which is not wrong.

Again, in the yokai world, it is a matter of course in the eyes of other youkai that fist-sized youkai snatch anything from weak youkai.

Of course, the weak monster who was robbed of things would be angry itself, but how could anyone care about the anger of the weak?

As soon as he told the half-truths about his experience of obtaining the mysterious liquid, a voice came from outside the cave.

"Is that little guy Ranya awake?

"Commander Lan Feng wants to see you!"
