Salia was utterly exasperated with the monsters.
His clever monsters were all killed by the cat demon on Little Fish Mountain.
The remaining survivors were mostly mindless dogs who didn't obey his commands and only knew how to eat and drink their fill.
He turned to face the six dog-headed demon cultivators, pointed his knife at the tree, and said, "Go and bring her down!"
"Charge!"
The six men rushed toward the tree, drew their broadswords, and began hacking wildly at the trunk.
Wood chips flew everywhere.
The tree began to shake again.
"Headmaster, what should we do? My spiritual energy hasn't fully recovered yet! We're really going to be dog food today!"
Luo Haiqing clung to the tree trunk in terror.
Zhao Xi glanced at the demon cultivators' dog heads, pondered for a moment, and suddenly decided to give it a try, raising her head and letting out a soft "Awoo~?"
The dog-headed demon cultivators hesitated: ? ? ?
Zhao Xi thought: Awooooo~~~
The dog-headed demon cultivators cried out in unison: "Awooo!! Awooo~"
My brothers died such a terrible death!
"Boss, the manager of the Hundred Beasts Garden is a good person; she'll mourn for the brothers!"
"Boss, there might be a misunderstanding. It's not those little brats' fault!"
Zhao Xi thought, "Tsk."
I had just sat on the bell when I heard the dogs on the mountain howling in unison for a long time.
It turned out they were wailing at a funeral.
No wonder she was crying so sadly.
Saliah lost all his temper. Instead of getting angry at his brothers, he pushed them aside and swung his knife at the tree several times, yelling, "Come down here, I'll beat you to death!"
The shaking caused the leaves to fall gently.
Zhao Xi thought, "Awooo!"
Salia: "No howling!"
Zhao Xi thought, "Awoooooo~~~"
"hateful……"
Saliah crouched down, covering his head and ears.
That's too much! He really wants to howl too!
As a demon cultivator, having spent so much time with dog demons, he couldn't shake off the habits he carried with him.
This howl is a word passed down from the primitive wolf tribe, a wild beast language etched into their bones and blood.
There are joyful howls when they are happy, and sorrowful howls when they are sad. There are also alert howls, alerting the enemy to their presence...
But she imitated the howling of the dog demon brothers.
"Awoo~~"
Saria covered his ears in frustration and pain, but his voice still managed to get through his fingers: "Stop shouting! Shut up!"
A soft hand patted his head.
He froze on the spot.
At this moment, he couldn't tell whether the shame of being a demon cultivator outweighed the happiness of being petted on the head as a dog amidst such distress and anger.
His face flushed red, he stood up, and shoved Zhao Xi away, thinking, "What are you doing?!"
Zhao Xixiang wasn't angry; her smile was gentle. "I'm sorry, I mistook you for Xiao Ding. When Xiao Ding is sad, I pat him like this too. He's carefree, and he'll cheer up in a little while."
She thought for a moment, then said, "You're so angry because you've lost a lot of your companions. It's okay. After you've vented your emotions, you'll be able to cheer up quickly, just like Xiao Ding."
Salia didn't know what to say, so she looked up at the sky.
The sky suddenly turned gloomy, and it was about to rain heavily.
He was indeed taking his anger out on others to cover up his own guilty conscience.
He was the true leader of the dog demons, and because of his misjudgment, his brothers lost their lives, even ruining the efforts of the dog demons over the past thousand years.
The four cubs shouldn't be blamed; they're innocent. They even helped steal the phoenix feathers.
"They left on their own; they should be going back to your animal park. You should go now; that mother cat might attack soon, and she might trample you, a mere mortal, to death."
Saliya snorted and led his brothers to the back of the mountain to continue burying the bodies.
Zhao Xi wanted Luo Haiqing to deliver paper cranes to Wu Tuba, requesting their assistance.
Although she was a mortal, she had ridden on Luo Haiqing's sword and flown several times. Even Luo Haiqing, an old Golden Core cultivator, was swaying when he carried her. Xiao Jia had only just formed his core. Even if Shan Shan could fly, how could he carry Xingye and Xiao Ding?
Maybe the four little ones are still wandering around on some mountaintop.
Wu Tu Ba's demon cultivators also had to stop and recuperate, at least they could keep them company and help them drive away the demon beasts.
Moreover, there is another possibility...
"What if they're with Elisa? Can I see the demon cultivator's corpse?"
Zhao Xi wanted to follow.
Saliyah's expression hardened, and a deep worry appeared on his fierce face. He quickened his pace and headed towards the back of the mountain.
The pit on the back mountain has not yet completely buried the demon cultivator's corpse.
Although the dog-headed demon cultivators were unwilling, they still cooperated with their leader and dug the soil again.
Zhao Xi wanted to squat in the pit and unbutton the demon cultivator's clothes.
These dog-headed demon cultivators had no scratches on their bodies, but they looked as if they had been flattened by something.
(Luo Haiqing squatted down to check together: "Oh dear, these demon cultivators are really in a sorry state. They've exhausted the last bit of spiritual energy in their bodies, and even their spiritual roots have been burned.")
Zhao Xi seemed to be deep in thought, then looked up and asked Salia, "Do you know magic?"
Saliya said, "Of course! I am the number one cultivator of the Fire Golden Core!"
(Old Man Luo: "Hehe, what a coincidence, I am the number one Thunder Golden Pill...")
Zhao Xi wanted to ask, "Then why didn't you use magic on me?"
"Hmph, you're just a mortal, I wouldn't deign to look down on you!" Saria said dismissively, asking her, "What have you discovered? Stop dawdling, my brothers still need to be laid to rest!"
Zhao Xi guessed, "Is it because the spiritual energy on the mountain is scarce, and even with meditation, it's not enough to make ends meet? They don't want to consume extra spiritual energy, right?"
