Peerless War God

"This is …"    

Chen Xiao walked over and squatted down to check.    

Xiloh jumped onto his shoulder and said indifferently, "It's just an ordinary spiritual material, about two or three hundred years old. It's called Blue Jade Root, it's not very useful, can only be used to replenish spirit energy. It's too ordinary."    

Chen Xiao smiled, but he did not think so.    

"Although it's just an ordinary spiritual material, there might be other things around. The spirit energy here is abundant, there must be a lot of it."    

Xiloh thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's possible."    

Chen Xiao squatted on the ground and dug. Soon, a Blue Jade Root was in his hand. Although it was only a few hundred years old, the spirit energy contained within was not a bit less.    

If this kind of spiritual material was in the outside world, it would also be worth a lot.    

"Woof." Hei Zi surrounded Chen Xiao's feet and shouted like he was taking credit.    

Chen Xiao thought about it, then took the Blue Jade Root and put it in front of Hei Zi's nose, saying, "Try it, then go find it."    

Xiloh's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea. Dog Zi can also be put to use here."    

Chen Xiao laughed, "I brought it in here for this, I can't waste it."    

"En."    

Hei Zi sniffed it twice, memorized the smell, and then looked in a direction and ran away.    

When Chen Xiao saw this, he said, "It seems like there really is a door. Let's go."    

"Alright."    

Immediately, a man and a dog started digging up the spirit materials. Before long, they had a bountiful harvest. The main reason was that they relied on the Infernal Hound's good nose to search for spirit materials. It was much easier.    

In just a short while, Chen Xiao had more than a hundred stalks of spirit materials in his hands. The harvest was extremely great.    

"Haha, good dog, you have done a great job today."    

Chen Xiao was extremely happy and rubbed Hei Zi's head.    

"Woof, woof."    

Hei Zi happily stuck out his tongue and jumped around, looking quite excited.    

"It's really a good dog." Xilo said indifferently.    

Hei Zi barked twice and then ran out again. Chen Xiao continued to follow. In the middle of a rock forest, he found another large Blue Jade Root.    

Even Xilo's eyes lit up when he saw it. "This one is probably a thousand years old. Not bad, not bad."    

"A thousand years old? Haha, very good, good dog."    

Chen Xiao laughed loudly and squatted down to dig it up.    

Very quickly, a thousand-year-old Blue Jade Root fell into his hands. After taking a careful look, he couldn't help but be fond of it.    

But at this moment, Chen Xiao's ears twitched and he felt an unusual movement.    

"This is?"    

Xilo also heard it and frowned. He lowered his head and looked at the ground. It was the small hole that Chen Xiao left after he dug up the Blue Jade Root.    

"There seems to be something underground?"    

"Underground?" Chen Xiao had a strange expression on his face, thinking that it was impossible.    

But very quickly, he was slapped in the face.    

A small black shadow flew out from the small hole and pounced straight at him. Chen Xiao was already on guard and quickly retreated. He raised his hand and slapped.    

"Heaven Destroying Palm."    

The power of wind and thunder interweaved, and a thunderclap exploded. With a "Pa!", the small black shadow was sent flying and smashed into a large pit on the ground.    

When Hei Zi saw this, he immediately pounced over and bit down fiercely. After the small black shadow screamed miserably, it stopped moving.    

A cunning look flashed across Hei Zi's eyes. He was about to swallow it whole, but was stopped by Chen Xiao.    

"Don't eat it. Spit it out."    

Hei Zi was stunned and turned his head with a wronged expression. He looked at Chen Xiao with his eyes wide open.    

Chen Xiao was expressionless as he said again, "Spit it out."    

Only then did Hei Zi reluctantly let go and spit out the small black shadow. Chen Xiao went closer to take a look, but it was a yellow-furred underground rat. It was half the size of a person and had sharp claws and teeth. Its body was extremely agile.    

"It's a yellow-furred underground rat, a very common demon beast. It feeds on the roots of plants and vegetation. It seems that you dug up the Blue Jade Root, so it's yours."    

Xiluo said indifferently.    

Chen Xiao ignored it. He squatted down to check the yellow-furred underground rat, but he was a little shocked.    

"It actually has the strength of a Tribulation Transcender and a core in its body."    

Chen Xiao opened his stomach and dug out a yellowish inner core. It was very small, only the size of a finger, and it was very inconspicuous. Its aura was also extremely mixed and impure, but it was indeed an inner core of a demon beast.    

"It is of the earth attribute. You don't need it," Xilo said.    

Chen Xiao looked at it for a while and lost interest. "This inner core is too small, and its spiritual energy is too weak and impure. It is useless. What surprised me is that such an ordinary burrowing rat demon beast can actually grow to the Tribulation Transcender Realm in the space of the Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda. It's really unbelievable."    

This was what truly shocked Chen Xiao.    

After all, burrowing rats were low-level demon beasts with very low talent. They did not have much growth potential. In the Divine Realm, even the Prominent Divine Realm burrowing rats were extremely rare.    

He never thought that in the space of the Divine Pagoda, a random burrowing rat would have the strength of a Tribulation Transcender. It was shocking.    

"Oh, you are worried about this. Maybe it's just a coincidence."    

Xilo said.    

Chen Xiao's face darkened. "Maybe. I always feel that it's a bit strange."    

Xilo shook his head and said indifferently, "What are you worried about? It's just a burrowing rat. Its strength is low and it is not a threat."    

"I hope so."    

"If you are still a little uneasy, you can set up some contingency plans," Xilo said.    

When Chen Xiao heard this, his eyes lit up. "Okay, let's do it."    

"..." Xilo.    

Thus, Chen Xiao set up a deathtrap array formation on the spot, inserted more than ten array flags, and used a concealment technique to cover it up.    

After a while, the array formation was completed. Chen Xiao clapped his hands and said, "I've completed the task. Alright, now I feel much more at ease."    

"You're the one who has a lot of things to do."    

"Haha, be careful. It's only right to be cautious."    

"Alright, I'll listen to you. What do you plan to do next?"    

"Continue. I'll search for spiritual materials and hunt demon beasts at the same time. I think there are enough prey in the Demon Beast Plains. It should be enough for me to practice."    

Chen Xiao said confidently, with a hundred times more confidence.    

"Okay."    

"Woof, woof." Hei Zi, who was at the side, shouted excitedly. He was already eager to try. His tongue drooped down and drooled nonstop.    

Chen Xiao looked at him and said, "You want to eat it?"    

"Woof, woof. Yes, Master." Hei Zi shouted.    

"I'll give it to you."    

Chen Xiao raised his hand and threw the underground rat in front of Hei Zi. Hei Zi swallowed it without any hesitation. He gulped it down and did not even chew it. Such a small yellow-furred underground rat was too small to fill the gap between his teeth.    

"Woof." After eating, Hei Zi ran to Chen Xiao's feet and rubbed it.    

Chen Xiao was a little helpless. "Is it not enough to eat?"    

"Woof."    

"Hmph, a gluttonous fellow. He really is a dog."    

Xilo scolded him from the side with a smile. The atmosphere was very relaxed.
