I Collect Skill Fragments in the Demon World-Chapter 579 - 302: The Peculiar Big Black Dog
The Big Black Dog was majestic, its fur glossy and jet black, clearly not an ordinary breed.
Just as Zhang Chen was in awe, suddenly the Big Black Dog sniffed the air, and in the next moment, Zhang Chen’s vision blurred. Then, the Big Black Dog appeared in front of him without him knowing, and before he could react, he was caught in the Big Black Dog’s mouth.
"What?" Zhang Chen was shocked by this scene, disbelief written all over his face. Wasn’t he considered quite a skilled fighter now? Yet, he couldn’t even see how the Big Black Dog approached him, so much so that he didn’t even have the thought of resisting before he was already in its mouth.
At this moment, a deadly sense of crisis surged in his heart. Zhang Chen had an inexplicable intuition that if he dared to move, the Big Black Dog could kill him with a single bite.
The most critical thing was that there seemed to be a peculiar force in the Big Black Dog’s mouth, a force that permeated every limb and pore of Zhang Chen’s transformed body, sealing all his powers. At this moment, he couldn’t even mobilize his Vampire Bat bloodline power.
"This Big Black Dog is really terrifying! My superpower is utterly powerless against it!" Zhang Chen’s heart was in extreme shock. He had always known the Spiritual World was terrifying, but he never imagined it could be to this extent?
He was no pushover, yet in front of the Big Black Dog, was he really without any standing?
As Zhang Chen’s thoughts were racing, the Big Black Dog released him, dropping Zhang Chen onto the ground, and then a pair of large black and white eyes stared at him. It extended a paw to push Zhang Chen around, seemingly trying to drive him away.
Although Zhang Chen’s bloodline power couldn’t be used temporarily, his ability to fly remained. Seeing himself free from the dog’s mouth, he flapped his wings suddenly, trying to seize the chance to escape. But the next moment, before he could take off, the Big Black Dog bit his wings again and placed him back on the ground, pawing at him.
By now, after several repetitions, Zhang Chen finally understood: this Big Black Dog was playing cat and mouse.
However, Zhang Chen didn’t dare not to run. What if the Big Black Dog became dissatisfied and angrily snapped him to death? Wouldn’t that mean the end for him?
After several attempts to escape and failing, Zhang Chen began to loaf around slowly, but the Big Black Dog wasn’t having it. Seeing Zhang Chen slacking off, it directly used its paws to push him around, and those paws were so sharp that they scraped Zhang Chen painfully to the point of tears.
Isn’t a toothache painful enough? But getting scratched by the Big Black Dog’s paw was a pain a thousand times that of a toothache.
"Damn thing, it’s hardly human," Zhang Chen cursed internally, contemplating ways to escape. The main issue was his powers were sealed, and he couldn’t revert from his Vampire Bat form. Many methods were unusable, so how was he supposed to escape?
"I can only wait until the Big Black Dog settles down, and then find a way to fly away," Zhang Chen thought, grumbling in his heart, a bit wary. He had the ability of Limb Regeneration, so the Big Black Dog biting him to death was unlikely, but what if the dog simply decided to swallow him whole?
As countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen’s mind, the Big Black Dog simply picked him up and then swung him into the air. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Seeing this, Zhang Chen was overjoyed: "Oh, good one! Really a good one! I was just thinking of escaping, and now this darn Big Black Dog is giving me the chance on a silver platter."
In a moment of wild joy, Zhang Chen seized what seemed to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, frantically flapping his wings, ready to soar into the sky and fly away. But just as he flapped, the Big Black Dog lightly leaped, and at an incomprehensible speed, it reached Zhang Chen first, clawing onto his wing, bringing him back to the ground and pinning him there.
"This is too much!" Zhang Chen struggled under the Big Black Dog’s paw, turning to glance at it, seeing only a mocking gaze in its eyes before it once again flung him away.
This time, Zhang Chen stopped struggling entirely, giving up resistance. As he plummeted toward the ground, the Big Black Dog caught him easily with its mouth and casually tossed him aside again.
Thrown up, caught!
Thrown up, caught!
Repeating this cycle over and over, the Big Black Dog seemed to tire of playing. As Zhang Chen was about to fall again, it opened its mouth wide, aiming to bite at him once more.
Looking at the Big Black Dog’s gaping mouth, there was no fear in Zhang Chen’s heart, only frustration and humiliation. He, a dignified Zhang Chen, was not one to suffer losses easily. When had he ever put up with such triviality?
Yet here he was, getting toyed with by a Big Black Dog. It was truly ridiculous.
Amidst the whirlwind of thoughts in Zhang Chen’s mind, the Big Black Dog caught him once more, turned, and walked into the forest. It ran swiftly through the lush greenery as if patrolling its territory, occasionally lifting a leg to mark with its urine, incessantly running back and forth among the mountains.
The Big Black Dog walked and stopped along its way, sniffing around, carrying Zhang Chen as it sped through the mountains, giving Zhang Chen some understanding of the surrounding terrain.
The Big Black Dog moved incredibly fast, covering miles as if it were a mere breath. The mountains blurred before Zhang Chen’s eyes; if it weren’t for his special bloodline, he wouldn’t have been able to make out the indistinct scenery of the mountain paths on either side.
