Chapter 94 - 94: Ancestor of the Blood Sea’s Tragic Dog Life
Almost without thinking, its eyes glinting green, the dog pounced on the frog, biting it in half.
A tingling sensation spread from its tongue.
Only then did the Ancestor of the Blood Sea realize that the frog he had bitten was poisonous!
Frantically, he scrambled to the stream, drinking water to rinse his mouth.
Once the tingling subsided, his body was nearly exhausted, devoid of any strength after the ordeal.
To survive, the Ancestor came to the damp soil by the stream and started digging with his paws.
Soon, a fat earthworm appeared in front of him.
Without much hesitation, the Ancestor swallowed the earthworm.
The taste was slimy and filthy, even with soil entering his stomach, but at that moment, the Ancestor found the earthworm as delicious as the finest delicacy.
The earthworm replenished some energy, and he continued digging and eating earthworms to replenish his depleted vitality.
Once he regained some strength, he began to observe his surroundings more carefully.
The Ancestor noticed there were two types of frogs here: one poisonous and one not.
He lay in wait by the stream, seizing the opportunity when a non-toxic frog leaped by.
At that moment, the Ancestor knew he had mastered the rules of survival in this jungle.
An hour later.
By the stream in the forest, a black dog sat cross-legged on a rock, back straight, in a meditation pose, surrounded by a faint mist.
Opening his eyes, the dog’s gaze was bright, and its fur looked healthier than before.
Beneath its paws was a small mound of frog bones.
As a prominent figure, a demon leader who had reached the Transcendent Stage, the Ancestor could definitely be called a genius.
Now reincarnated as a dog, he was naturally a genius dog.
His technique in blood cultivation was extremely efficient in transforming qi and blood.
The frog meat he ate was completely refined by his current body.
The Ancestor leaped off the rock.
The black dog stood tall and proud, howling towards the sky, “Woof–
The next moment, a large foot came down, pressing on its neck, pinning the black dog to the ground.
“The arrangement within this secret realm has been deliberately altered.”
By a large lake, Lu Xuan spread out a hand-drawn map, floating it in the air.
The map was divided into five regions, each corresponding to one of the Five Elements.
Upon entering, Lu Xuan had noticed something and had mapped the terrain accordingly.
“We are currently in a large lake, which belongs to the Water element. Based on its position… it should be in the west?” deduced Cheng Lingzhu.
“But there’s no Earth element region at the center of this Imperial City,” pointed out Nangong Xuan.
“The arrangement here is inverse to the Five Elements,” Lu Xuan pondered.
“The central Earth element is placed on the outskirts, forming a ring. The other four regions are also reversed…”
“Why is that?” Nangong Xuan was puzzled.
“The true Demon Imperial City has yet to emerge, ” Lu Xuan indicated the map.
“What we see here is merely the protective shell of the Demon Emperor City.”
As a history enthusiast and experienced tomb raider, Lu Xuan had seen similar methods before.
He suspected that the real “Land of Inheritance” lay deep underground in this secret realm.
“What should we do now?” asked Nangong Xuan.
“We could first visit the center of this secret realm, where the celestial palaces are,” suggested Cheng Lingzhu.
“Indeed,” Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.
Inside the secret realm, in the primitive forest.
“Coming to the Demon Emperor City, I’ve encountered quite an extraordinary dog,” said a young man in a purple robe with dark red hair, his smile somewhat sinister.
He held a black dog, examining it up and down, and remarked, “Oh, it turns out to be a female.
The black dog barked and thrashed, trying to escape, but the young man easily dodged its attempts.
He took out a pill and forced it into the dog’s mouth.
The Ancestor of the Blood Sea panicked internally, resisting vehemently.
He couldn’t just swallow any mysterious pill.
A surge of magic from the young man’s palm immobilized the dog.
The pill was pushed down its throat, forcibly entering the Ancestor’s body.
However, after ingesting the pill, the Ancestor realized it was not poisonous but rather a simple nourishing medicine.
It contained abundant blood essence.
For the current state of the Ancestor, it was a significant boost.
“Once you refine this pill, you should regain some strength and be able to communicate, right?” the young man in purple spoke.
The Ancestor remained silent, pretending to be just a dog, unsure if the other party was bluffing or had seen through his disguise.
The Ancestor calculated in his mind.
If the young man was merely tricking him, he couldn’t reveal his identity. But if the young man had truly recognized him and wanted to negotiate—
Then he would pretend ignorance, play along, and try to deceive more pills.
With this thought, the Ancestor felt a wave of sorrow.
He, a revered demon leader and Transcendent Stage cultivator, was now reduced to playing a dog, deceiving juniors for pills.
He vowed to remember this humiliation!
However, to his surprise, the young man in purple had little patience..
