The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Visitors from Western Guarding Palace

The Golden Retriever was having a blissful snooze when it was abruptly lifted up by Fang Lin, thoroughly incensing it.

“Quit sleeping and start singing!” Fang Lin slapped the little dog’s head to help it wake up, hurriedly speaking to it.

Seeing a swarm of Black Wind Wolves coming at them, the Golden Retriever yelped twice in fright, its fur bristling in fear.

Fang Lin was on the verge of cursing loudly. Er Gouzi had gone weak at the knees right at the crucial moment. Such a useless creature!

At this point, the Black Wind Wolves had already rushed forth, and everyone struggled to resist. They quickly managed to kill off the first wave.

Of course, individually, these Black Wind Wolves weren’t especially powerful, but their relentless surge was highly effective. It was battle of sheer number – or rather, a sea of wolves.

“Stop trembling! Sing a song, and once you’re finished, all these wolf Demon Cores are yours!” Fang Lin continued to slap the Golden Retriever several times, tempting it with the reward of Demon Cores.

Upon hearing about the Demon Cores, the Golden Retriever instantly became spirited, opened its throat, and began to sing.

Well, it wasn’t exactly singing, but rather emitting a strange sound. This sound possessed a magical ability to make demon beasts fall asleep quickly.

Once this sound rang out, all the approaching Black Wind Wolves began to wobble. Every Black Wind Wolf that heard the sound felt drowsy.

Even the distant Black Wind Wolf King, with its crimson eyes, couldn’t resist – its body involuntarily succumbed to sleep, not even the King’s willpower could withstand this peculiar power.

Thump! Thump!

One after the other, the Black Wind Wolves fell to the ground. As far as the eye could see, scores of Black Wind Wolves lay sleeping. The sight was quite magnificent.

Everyone was astonished and watched Fang Lin, or more precisely, the Golden Retriever in Fang Lin’s arms, in awe.

This had happened before with the Bear Demons. After the strange sound, they had all fallen asleep too.

This time it was the same. No matter how many Black Wind Wolves there were, they couldn’t withstand this strange noise emitted by the Golden Retriever.

The Black Wind Wolf King managed to resist for a few breaths’ time, but eventually, it too could not fight off the sleepiness and tumbled down.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that there was the Golden Retriever, otherwise, they probably wouldn’t have survived this calamity.

The attacks of the Black Wind Wolves were terrifying. They fought fearlessly and would surround and exhaust their prey alive.

“Fang Lin, what’s the story behind this dog of yours? It’s incredibly powerful,” Steward Shen asked curiously.

Fang Lin grinned and said, “Well, my Er Gouzi is naturally powerful. However, in terms of its origin, well, I picked it up.”

“Picked it up?” Everyone was speechless. Was Fang Lin really so lucky that every dog he picked up was so powerful?

No one believed Fang Lin, they all felt that he intentionally refused to disclose the Golden Retriever’s origin. Therefore, no one asked further questions.

The Golden Retriever seemed very tired after displaying its unique ability. It appeared to be struggling to keep its eyes open, yawning continuously.

However, the Golden Retriever still pointed its little paw at the Black Wind Wolves lying asleep around them, seemingly reminding Fang Lin not to forget the promise of Demon Cores.

Fang Lin said irritably, “Alright, alright, I’ll keep the Demon Cores for you, you can eat them after you wake up.”

The Golden Retriever yawned once again, then burrowed into its Beast Bag and immediately fell asleep.

This unique ability to put demon beasts to sleep quickly couldn’t be used by the Golden Retriever indefinitely. Almost every time it used it, it needed to rest for a few days to recover its strength.

Fang Lin sighed inwardly. If the Golden Retriever could use this unique power without restriction, then he could fearlessly tread anywhere in the Hundred Beast Mountain.

“All of you, stop loafing around and hurry up and help me extract the Demon Cores from the Black Wind Wolves. Don’t hide any,” Fang Lin ordered abruptly.

Zhou Zhishui and the others all responded, and with expressionless faces, they followed Fang Lin’s command. For a while, the fallen Black Wind Wolves were gutted and their blood gave off a strong, pungent smell.

Two hours later, Zhou Zhishui and the others returned with a large pile of Demon Cores. Although most of the Pills were not of high grades, there were many of them, enough for the Golden Retriever to feast on.

As for the Demon Core of the Black Wind Wolf King, Fang Lin kept it for himself. The Demon Core of a Three Transformations demon beast did have some uses for him.

Just then, Steward Shen suddenly furrowed his brow, and the Spirit Eye on his forehead flickered with light.

“It seems like somebody is approaching us. The aura is really strong!” Steward Shen stated, his voice carrying some weight.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin also activated his Spirit Eye and looked behind him.

Indeed, there were two figures coming their way, and Fang Lin also noticed an item floating in front of them.

Fang Lin continued to stimulate his Spirit Eye’s power, trying to clearly see the item, but was met with a resistance. The item seemed to perceive that someone was observing it and suddenly burst forth with black light.

Both Fang Lin and Steward Shen let out a muffled groan, withdrawing their gazes, their faces pale.

Although they couldn’t see the item clearly, Fang Lin managed to see the faces of the two individuals.

He didn’t recognize them but he vaguely remembered that these two, a man and a woman, were those that had been following the Lord of the Western Town that day.

“Oh no! It’s people from the Western Guarding Palace!” Fang Lin thought to himself.

Considering the grudges between him and the Lord of the Western Town, running into people from the Western Guarding Palace was unexpected. This wouldn’t be good, as there was a very high probability that they were after him.

Meanwhile, the man and woman from the Western Guarding Palace noted the reaction of the dark seal and were immediately on alert.

“It seems like it’s not far ahead. Earlier we heard the sound of wolves howling, but now it’s gone?” the man said, a surprised expression on his face.

“Let’s go and see, with this treasure in our possession, where can’t we go?” The woman said with extraordinary self-confidence.

The two didn’t hesitate and quickened their pace, chasing ahead.

“We need to leave quickly!” Fang Lin said to everyone.

Without any delay, the group quickly fled the territory of the Black Wind Wolves and entered a woodland area.

“Why do I feel that this place is more terrifying than the previous place?” A young royal murmured as they walked through the forest, a strange tense mood hanging in the air.

Not only him, but everyone also seemed to be on edge.

The Demon Qi in this area was particularly dense, which indicated the presence of a very powerful demon beast.

“We seem to be nearing the junction between the outer area and deeper parts of the Mountain. It’s just unknown how far we are from that boundary. Let’s hope we still have some distance left,” Steward Shen spoke.

What no one saw was an elongated eye slowly opening in the depths of the forest, its gaze directed towards the location of Fang Lin and his companions.
