Chapter 826: Awaken
Crunch, crunch...
The sound of bones being crushed echoed in the air. It was eerily similar to the noise the Night Fiends had made while devouring their fallen companions during evolution. But this time, it wasn’t the Night Fiends.
It was Black Emperor. The mutt was gnawing and chomping down on the flesh and bones of the fallen Night Fiends with unrestrained delight.
“You little—!” Huang Dinggou rushed over in a panic. “You dumb mutt, are you insane?! Do you want your guts to melt from the inside out?”
The blood of the Night Fiends was so corrosive it could burn through stone slabs in the ruins without effort.
“Woof woof.” Black Emperor barked lazily, brushing him off, and continued munching away gleefully.
The supposedly indestructible bones snapped like chocolate under its sharp fangs. The caustic blood, which should have been lethal, was being licked up like a tasty treat. Black Emperor even wagged his tail in glee. Forget damaging its teeth, the corrosive blood didn’t even singe a single strand of its jet-black fur.
Huang Dinggou began to seriously question reality. Li Xiaofei rubbed his chin thoughtfully. At this point, he was starting to suspect that this damn dog could probably bite through his alchemy furnace if it tried.
“By the way,” Huang Dinggou suddenly said, as if something clicked in his mind. “Hall Master, this alchemy furnace of yours... it looks kinda familiar.”
Li Xiaofei’s expression darkened and said, “Don’t you dare say it’s one of those you accidentally lost while digging around in the manure pit.”
“How could that be?” Huang Dinggou gave a very reserved, almost gentlemanly smile.
If it were anyone else, he might’ve tried to bluff his way through. But since it was the Hall Master standing in front of him, he wasn’t foolish enough to test his luck.
