Chapter 123: The Transformation of the Local Dog

  Han's foot stepped on the ground. Xia Yan's body slightly squatted, relieving the tension that had built up in his lower body during the previous dangerous moment. Then he stood up again. A hundred-meter-high cliff was naturally not a problem for Xia Yan, and even an ordinary postnatal peak expert could easily come down from this hundred-meter-high cliff as long as they had a sharp weapon in hand.

  The phantom wolf spun around in circles, wagging its tail. Its eyes, full of expectation, stared at Xia Yan from afar. From the high cliff, it fell down, with drool flowing from the corner of its mouth, while letting out a series of small "wuu wuu" dog-like cries.

  Xia Yan saw the Phantom Wolf's appearance, and his eyes flashed, confirming his speculation that the Phantom Wolf had brought him here to get the Swallow Tongue Flower on the cliff.

  "Is there anything else?" Xia Yan asked with a smile, his hands spread open.

  The Phantom Wolf heard Xia Yan's words, its body shook, and it opened a pair of green eyes that seemed to be disappointed staring at Xia Yan. Its tail also fell down. Its face trembled rapidly for a few times, and its front paws scratched the fallen leaves on the ground. Suddenly, it rolled over and rolled around on the ground in a spoiled manner.

  Seeing Phantom Wolf's actions, Xia Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  This earthy dog-like phantom wolf can't be measured by ordinary beasts.

  "Whatever, it's all because of you that I'm here. These two tongues of birds, I'll give one to you!" Xia Yan shook his head helplessly. He took out a bright red tongue of bird from his collar and threw it on the ground.

  Saw the swallow tongue flower; Phantom Wolf suddenly sprang up, its speed even faster than when it escaped Xia Yan's pursuit earlier. In an instant, it pounced on the red swallow tongue flower and swallowed it in one gulp.

  After finishing eating, the Phantom Wolf slowly got up from the ground, licked its lips, and still stared at Xia Yan with glowing eyes.

  "What? You want another one too?" Tuo Yan was taken aback, this earth dog is too greedy! This Sparrow Tongue Grass is a rare and precious medicinal herb. A priceless treasure, and it's already heartbreaking that this earth dog ate one, yet it's still not satisfied.

  However, the Phantom Wolf heard Xia Yan's words and hastily shook its head, making a series of "wu wu ya" sounds, as if to say that it didn't mean that.

  "Huh?"

  Seeing the Phantom Wolf like this, Xia Yan was shocked. He found that the Phantom Wolf's body seemed to have swollen a bit compared to before. The speed of this swelling was not fast, but after Xia Yan cultivated the Ling Luo Heart Method, his eyes were extremely sharp, so he could notice this not-so-obvious change.

  "Huh?"

  When Xia Yan observed carefully, he indeed found that the Phantom Wolf's body was rapidly growing.

  Growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Such a speed is quite astonishing.

  "Could it be, the Swallow's Tongue Flower?" Xia Yan was slightly stunned, "The Phantom Wolf only underwent this transformation after devouring the Swallow's Tongue Flower. No wonder it brought me here. With its own abilities, it couldn't possibly obtain the Swallow's Tongue Flower on the mountain cliff, so it borrowed my hand. The Phantom Wolf's sense of smell is extremely keen? It must have smelled the scent of the Swallow's Tongue Flower on the mountain cliff."

  After a moment of contemplation, Xia Yan couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Phantom Wolf.

  At this time, the Phantom Wolf's body was completely still, its entire body as hard as a wooden carving, all of its fur standing on end, and its originally gray fur gradually turning black from the roots.

  "This,"

  Xia Yan's heart was shaken, and he personally witnessed a wild beast transform in front of him. Anyone who saw this scene would probably be unable to remain calm.

  "This mutt seems to be transforming, I don't know if it will become stronger after transformation. If it does get stronger, then won't staying here be dangerous for me? Should I kill it now or take advantage of the situation and leave?" Xia Yan furrowed his brow.

  "If I kill it, wouldn't that be a waste of this one rare tongue flower? But if I just leave it like this... I'm really curious what it'll turn into!" Xia Yan shook his head in distress.

  Such opportunities are rare.

  Finally, Xia Yan jumped onto a distant big tree, quietly observing the changes happening to the Phantom Wolf.

  Two hours later, the Phantom Wolf's body was at least twice as large as it had been before.

  The fur all over its body has turned completely black and is also emitting a glossy sheen.

  In the distance, the low growls of wild beasts grew denser and denser.

  Xia Yan crouched on the tree, his eyes flashing, thinking: "This phantom wolf is transforming, those wild beasts are all afraid. These cries are full of fear!"

  "I'm really looking forward to it, I don't know what kind of appearance the transformed Phantom Wolf will have!" Xia Yan's eyes lit up.

  Time flew by quickly, and soon the sky darkened. Xia Yan found a tree stump to sit on. Although it was quite far away and at night, with Xia Yan's eyesight, he could still see the rough outline of the Phantom Wolf.

  "Nor does he know how long it will take for the transformation to end,"

  Xia Yan's mind and spirit converged, the Ling Luo Heart Method slowly operated within his body, and his internal energy followed the heart method, constantly circulating within him. The small Jiling Hole in his abdomen was continuously transforming his internal energy. From Xia Yan's 108 martial arts meridians, internal energy would occasionally enter the Jiling Hole.

  However, the capacity of the Spirit Gathering Cave is too small, and even if Xia Yan continuously operates his heart method to urge it on, its transformation speed is still limited.

  After the sky cleared up, the transformation of Phantom Wolf continued.

  At this time, the wolf's head was about 24 times larger than before. Its massive body was almost as big as the Flame Tiger that Xia Yan had killed earlier!

  If it were a fight with the current Phantom Wolf, Xia Yan was really worried that his strength would be insufficient.

  "Bang"

  Afternoon!

  A dull thud shook Xia Yan out of his meditation.

  Open your eyes, at the entrance, a fierce beast is staring at Xiaoyan on the tree trunk with its green eyes. Its front paws occasionally make rhythmic knocking sounds on the rocky ground.

  "Bang"

  Xia Yan's entire body shook violently!

  "What's with that muddy dog?" Xia Yan thought to herself, involuntarily asking herself this question.

  The current Phantom Wolf, no matter what, can't make people think of the previous stray dog's appearance. Black fur, with a shiny oil sheen, tall and majestic body. Full of wild power. However, on its large head, there are still two white circles, which can prove that it is indeed the previous stray dog Phantom Wolf.

  Four hooves also exposed white sharp claws

  Suddenly, the wolf's mouth opened wide and it wagged its tail at Xia Yan. Now its tail was no longer the short one from before, but a new one that was at least 40 centimeters long, as thick as an adult's arm.

  。

  Woo woo

  The Phantom Wolf Boat Xia Yan let out a low hum, as if it was sulking.

  "What does this phantom wolf mean?" Xia Yan was perplexed.

  "Chirp Chirp"

  The Phantom Wolf ran all the way to the big tree where Xia Yan was, and its huge and frightening body actually struck such a coquettish pose, which was really comical.

  ”

  Not far away, a wild boar somehow rushed here and saw the shadow wolf. It was so scared that it turned around and ran away, but it didn't see the big tree behind it and directly hit its head on the thick trunk, fainting.

  "This phantom wolf seems to have no hostility towards me!" Xia Yan pondered for a moment, looking at the frightening phantom wolf below, whose green eyes had no killing intent whatsoever.

  ”

  Xia Yan stood up and jumped down from the tree trunk in one leap.

  "Did you eat the swallow's tongue flower and then transform?" Xia Yan asked.

  The Phantom Wolf is nodding its huge head and sticking out its tongue.

  "Hehe, so I've done you a favor, and from now on, you're not allowed to go to the town's Zhuangyuan to cause trouble again!" Xia Yan said with a smile.

  The shadow wolf nodded again, and then lay down quietly like a little cat.

  "Hmm, I should be going too. With this extra day, the mayor and the others must be getting anxious!" Xia Yan looked up at the sky.

  Woo woo

  The shadow wolf suddenly let out a low howl, looking pitifully at Xia Yan.

  "Huh? You" County's brow furrowed, and he fell silent for a moment. "Are you going to send me back?"

  Phantom Wolf is good at speed, and before transformation, the speed was already astonishing. Now, it's likely that its speed is even faster than before.

  "Woof!" The shadow wolf nodded again, crawling to Xia Yan's side on the ground, then sat up and let Xia Yan climb onto its back.

  Xia Yan thought for a moment and then directly jumped up.

  ”

  ”

  The Phantom Wolf's hind legs stomped on the ground and its entire massive body charged out with Xia Yan.

  The wind blowing inside made Xia Yan's collar flutter and make a rustling sound.

  "So fast!"

  The speed of this phantom wolf made Xia Yan feel like the trees on both sides were flying by quickly, and he couldn't even see them clearly.

  "It's at least twice as fast as I can run at full speed! If I were to chase it now, I wouldn't be able to catch up no matter what." Xia Yan panted slightly and shook his head, placing his palm on the Shadow Wolf's neck. "After its sharp transformation, the Shadow Wolf's strength has increased greatly. And with its newfound intelligence, it's probably already considered a spiritual beast?"

  It took only half a time for Phantom Wolf to bring Xia Yan to the edge of Black Wind Cliff.

  "Halt, halt!" Xia Yan said, already able to see the manor in the distance, as he patted the Phantom Wolf.

  The Phantom Wolf's four hooves leapt up, and its body soared high into the air before landing steadily on the ground. A layer of dust instantly rose from the earth. Xia Yan's feet exerted force, firmly sitting on the back of the Phantom Wolf. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been flung off long ago; the inertia from the sudden sprint was not to be underestimated.

  "That's enough, you should head back too." Xia Yan jumped down from the Phantom Wolf's back and turned around. "Hehe, I'll take my leave for now. I'll come visit you at Black Wind Mountain again sometime."

  With a stroke of his foot, Xia Yan had already unfolded his figure and was heading towards the Huang Ye Town government office along the uneven road surface.

  "Waaah"

  However, the Phantom Wolf did not turn around and run towards Heifeng Mountain, but instead opened its four hooves and followed Xia Yan, making a low humming noise in its mouth, with an eerie glow flashing in its eyes.

  Xia Yan was taken aback and stopped in his tracks, "Why are you still following me? Go back quickly! If someone sees you appear like this, they'll probably be scared to death."
