Chapter 357 What a sinister pet!
"Wu Xiaode."
"Soul power: 48/48, Willpower: 0; Merit: 19.5."
"The Human Emperor's Mission: The Secret of the Border Town."
"Description: There are secrets hidden in this city. You have three hours to explore it. If you exceed this time, your mission will fail."
"Start timing now:"
"00:00:01."
here we go!
Wu Xiaode looked at this small line of characters with a solemn expression.
Judging from the experience of the first two missions, the mission requirements cannot be simply interpreted.
This mission description reveals a dangerous omen——
The task time limit is three hours.
Why only three hours?
It stands to reason that this city has activated the grand formation and can continue to exist.
Wu Xiaode looked at the Book of the Dead.
On the page, the two angels were still sleeping.
Those eventually turned into little bits of light, spinning around them——
I don’t know how long it will take for them to be completely absorbed.
Three hours...
Totally not enough.
——In fact, I don’t care about any tasks at all.
But if you don't complete the Human Emperor's mission, you will be teleported back immediately.
Wu Xiaode was even more worried when he suddenly saw Zhao Congnan walking towards him with Sun Qian's head in his hands with an angry look on his face.
"The traitor was killed by me."
Zhao Congnan threw the head on the ground and said through gritted teeth.
"Good kill - where are the three horses?" Wu Xiaode said.
"Ma San is guarding the war formation. I came here because I have to tell you something." Zhao Congnan said.
"What's the matter?" Wu Xiaode asked.
Zhao Congnan looked around and lowered his voice: "As soon as the formation opened, it swept across the city and immediately found that there were still people in the city."
"Is there anyone else? Are they injured, or are they hiding somewhere and afraid to come out? Let's do this. You tell me the location and I will go and rescue them." Wu Xiaode stood up and said nonchalantly.
"That's not the case."
Zhao Congnan grabbed Wu Xiaode's arm and said nervously:
"The formation can detect the peak strength of individuals, and the individuals discovered are quite strong, not even worse than dragons - there are two such individuals."
Wu Xiaode immediately became serious.
Since you have such power, why didn't you stop the dragon from slaughtering the city just now?
"Are you sure it's human?" he asked.
"It's precisely because I'm not sure that I came to tell you quickly." Zhao Congnan said.
"What is their location?"
"The City Lord's Mansion."
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
After Wu Xiaode finished speaking, he was about to leave, but something suddenly grabbed his pants.
He looked back and saw Bone Dog pitifully hugging his thigh and saying: "Brother Xiao Wu, you are my brother, come and help me, I really can't assemble it."
Wu Xiaode glanced at the densely packed mountains of bones and felt that his head was getting bigger.
"This is your own body, you have to assemble it carefully!"
Wu Xiaode said righteously.
Bone Dog said with tears in his eyes: "There are more than two thousand parts in total. I can't assemble them all even in the Year of the Monkey - I just installed a few wrong bones. Look -"
It gestured to Wu Xiaode to look at its dog head.
I saw a hook-shaped skeleton pressed on the top of the bone dog's head, which looked like a question mark. It was as weird as it seemed.
Wu Xiaode sighed, thought for a moment, and said: "Astroote."
"Master, I don't know how to build Lego, but I am good at breaking them."
From the mist came the giant's voice and said angrily.
Wu Xiaode snapped his fingers.
There was a "click-click" sound in the mist.
"Scadi?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Hehe, Master, I am not good at splicing dragons, but I am very good at splicing human bodies." The succubus goddess said with a sweet smile.
Wu Xiaode felt helpless and had to snap his fingers again.
"Ulysses, you are a healer, so you should know a lot about bones and the like." Wu Xiaode said.
A lazy voice came from the mist: "Just come to me for deception and abduction. These skeletons are too hard-core and do not conform to our sacred style, Master."
Wu Xiaode had no choice but to snap his fingers again.
Accompanied by a sound of "Qi Qi Ka Ka Chi Chi", the voice of Lester, the King of Evil Ghosts, sounded from the mist:
"Master, why didn't you call me earlier? What I am most interested in is creating evil ghosts that have never been seen in the world. Building bones and stuff is just childish."
As it spoke, its fox head had poked out of the fog, staring at the pile of bones with interest.
The bone dog was overjoyed and couldn't help barking twice. He knelt down and begged with his paws in his hands.
"You help it fight." Wu Xiaode had no choice but to say.
Lester recited a spell.
Bang!
Countless little ghosts suddenly appeared on the ground and sorted all the bones at an extremely efficient speed.
When they were sorting, Lester had already read the frost instructions.
"You fight here, I'll go check the situation first."
Wu Xiaode ordered.
Lester’s female head immediately said:
"Master, please wait a moment. The bone dog will evolve into the skeleton of a dragon this time, and its combat power will definitely be greatly improved. Besides, it is known as the 'Silent Secret Leader' and is very good at finding secrets."
Hearing this, Bone Dog also nodded towards Wu Xiaode.
"Yes, our bone dragon clan is very good at finding secrets. You might as well wait for me." it said.
"How long do you need to wait?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Five to seven minutes - please take it with you to fight after that." Lester said.
Wu Xiaode glanced at the time.
"00:04:59."
It's worth spending five minutes in exchange for the bone dog's advancement.
He just stood there and waited.
"General, pretend you don't know anything and go and defend the formation with Ma San. The most important thing is to protect yourselves with the formation." He said to Zhao Congnan.
"I know, be careful."
Zhao Congnan hesitated for a moment, then took out a gossip-shaped disc from his arms and handed it to Wu Xiaode.
"What is this?" Wu Xiaode asked curiously.
"This is my proof of identity - there are some places in the city lord's palace that only senior human generals can enter after their identities have been verified." Zhao Congnan said.
"Thank you, general." Wu Xiaode said.
"You're welcome." Zhao Congnan waved his hand and turned towards the direction of the formation.
After a few minutes.
Lester completed this splicing of bones.
The bone dog is no longer a bone dog. It has transformed into a long skeletal dragon, flying around in the air excitedly, wandering endlessly.
"Has its strength improved?" Wu Xiaode asked uncertainly.
"It is stronger than ordinary dragons - after all, it is the bone dragon of the death world." Lester said with emotion.
"Let's go, it's getting late." Wu Xiaode shouted towards the Skeleton Dragon in mid-air.
Upon hearing this, the dragon of bones immediately flew down and landed on the Book of the Dead.
I saw that its whole body was exuding a pale light, its skeleton was slender and elegant, and it also had a ferocious aura.
"Is there any progress?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Actually, there are many evolutionary directions. I chose one of them after comprehensively considering your fighting style." The Skeleton Dragon said.
"What is it?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Animal transformation, intermediate physical attack immunity and frost spitting. My frost can freeze the target and delay all their movements, making it easier for you to kill the target; as for the animal transformation -"
The Skeleton Dragon shook his body and turned into an inconspicuous native dog with a "bang" sound.
It jumped off the page, wagging its tail, and stood at Wu Xiaode's feet.
"On the surface, I am an inconspicuous local dog - I guarantee that this disguise is extremely clever and ordinary people will never notice it. In fact, I am a bone dragon."
The Skeleton Dragon introduced excitedly.
Wu Xiaode nodded silently.
Just imagine, if the other party is careless and gets entangled by a local dog, he will definitely not care, and may even think about kicking him away.
But it is actually a bone dragon with "intermediate physical attack immunity" and "frost breath" abilities.
——If it fails to defeat, it will also check the opponent's weaknesses online.
You are a good bone dragon, why don't you learn some head-on fighting and use insidious methods?
Wait——
"You just said that you chose the evolutionary route after comprehensively considering my fighting style?" Wu Xiaode said expressionlessly.
"Yes, you are really good at fighting. I think it is worth learning." The native dog sensed some kind of danger and immediately said with a straight face.
Wu Xiaode had nothing to say.
"By the way, I have evolved into a skeleton dragon. Please don't call me 'bone dog' in the future." Tugou said again.
"Then why do I call you?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Others call you Brother Xiaowu, so please let others call me Brother Xiaogu." Tugou said.
"Should I call you Brother Xiaogu too?"
"You, just call me Xiaogu."
"...Okay."
One person and one dog took steps and ran towards the direction of the city lord's mansion.
……
"Current time:"
"00:13:47."
Thirteen minutes have passed since the mission was released.
Wu Xiaode shrouded himself and Xiaogu in the magic mist of silence, looking for clues in the city lord's mansion.
"Wait a minute."
Xiaogu's nose moved, as if he smelled something.
It looked in one direction and said: "Go this way!"
"Hey, you're not a real dog, why can you still smell things?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"No matter what I become, I am good at finding secrets." Xiao Gu said.
"Like you."
Wu Xiaode followed the direction it pointed, climbed over the wall, and came to the back garden.
I saw that there used to be a pavilion here, and the pavilion was full of lotus flowers, but now there is no water in the entire pond, only the fish swimming on the bottom of the pond jumping from time to time.
There is a spiral staircase extending downward in the center of the pool, and it is unknown where it leads.
"I'll go take a look." Xiao Gu said.
"Pay attention to safety." Wu Xiaode said.
"Don't worry."
The native dog rushed out, jumped into the bottom of the waterless pool, and landed in front of the spiral staircase.
It rolled on the spot and turned into a koi. It jumped a few times and rolled down the stairs.
A line of small words in ice crystal appeared in front of Wu Xiaode's eyes:
"Your pet activated the 'Animal Change' and turned into a fish."
Wu Xiaode shrugged.
This guy can do it. He will definitely be his right-hand man in the future.
Waited for a few breaths.
The koi jumped back from under the stairs, turned into a native dog again, and wagged its tail at Wu Xiaode.
"Okay."
Wu Xiaode jumped up and landed in front of the stairs.
"There is a long corridor inside. No one is guarding it. You can go down and explore."
The native dog speaks human words. (End of chapter)
