Chapter 371: Chapter 329: Eye Demon Battle!

The Eye Demon is such a race.

Their bodies are frail, but their Soul Power is exceptionally strong.

Thus, the Eye Demon race is renowned for its psychic and Space Magic.

Due to their scarce population and the difficulty of birthing new members, the Eye Demon internal conflicts generally don’t result in death.

They compete by pitting their pets against each other.

Through pet duels, they decide victories and determine the relationships between them.

As for the source of their pets—

They are generally other species controlled by their psychic manipulation skills.

However, when dealing with outsiders, the Eye Demons are not so civilized.

They strike at their enemies with full force using their psychic and Space Magic.

After absorbing the historical memories of the Eye Demon, Wu Xiaode understood clearly.

——He would face a pet battle.

Indeed.

The leading Eye Demon snorted and released a powerful Mind Storm:

"Where do you come from, acting so haughty? How about a fight?"

Boom.

A giant bear exuding a frosty aura landed on the open ground.

The bear was completely white, and as soon as it appeared, it let out a roar full of eagerness to fight.

Wu Xiaode watched the bear, pondering whether to create something with his bronze hand, then saw the Book of the Dead flip open quickly.

The bone dog stood on the page and let out a roar.

It was issuing a challenge.

That was to be expected; it was a bone dragon, after all.

"Hey, the opponent is an Ice Frost Giant Bear, and you have such a small body. Are you confident in your victory?" Wu Xiaode asked telepathically.

The bone dog confidently raised its front paw and firmly patted its chest, conveying telepathically:

"Don’t worry, I have awakened my latest ability."

"What ability?" Wu Xiaode asked with interest.

The bone dog spat out a wisp of frost.

That wisp of frost floated mid-air, forming a blank rectangular frame.

The bone dog’s claws flew as it tapped out a Magic into the Void.

Suddenly, a line of small text appeared in that rectangular frame:

"The vulnerability of the Ice Frost Giant Bear."

The bone dog pressed its paw down solemnly.

The frosty frame in the Void instantly collapsed, reverting to a cloud of frost mist. After a few breaths, it manifested again into rows of small text:

"Vulnerability of the Ice Frost Giant Bear:"

"1. Can only consume corpses covered with frost;"

"2. Its nose is tender and susceptible to serious injury;"

"3. The central point on the back of its skull is fatal."

After scrutinizing these words, the bone dog glanced at Wu Xiaode, its expression somewhat proud.

The Book of the Dead displayed a prompt rune:

"The bone dog has unleashed an ancient Death Giant Dragon’s innate Magic:"

"Ice Frost Search."

"——A search Magic created by the Dragon Clan due to having too many treasures."

Wu Xiaode closed his eyes.

Search my sister! This is clearly just a search bar, okay!

Another prompt rune popped up on the Book of the Dead:

"Note, it’s the original creation."

Original creation...

Alright, it seems somebody had contact with the Dragon Clan and learned this from them, right?

Wu Xiaode looked toward the other side, only to see that the three Eye Demons were already growing impatient.

——Then this battle is yours.

He simply stretched out a tendril and lightly tapped it into the Void.

"Come out, bone dog!"

The instant the Mind Shock resounded, the three Eye Demons on the other side all showed alert expressions.

Boom.

A skeletal dog about half a meter tall appeared before everyone.

It was enveloped in a mechanical shell, with sturdy bones inside, and also emitted an aura of frost.

The three Eye Demons were startled and couldn’t help but burst into crazed laughter.

"Hahaha, what kind of pet dog is this!"

"You think this can battle the Ice Frost Giant Bear of our boss?"

"This guy was so arrogant just now, and this is all he’s got?"

The Ice Frost Giant Bear bared its fierce teeth with a grin, lunging at the bone dog.

Roar——

The bone dog showed no fear, scratching at the ground where it stood.

The bear and the dog collided head-on!

A muffled sound.

The frost spread out in a ring.

Stumbling back a few steps, the Ice Frost Giant Bear’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

Its nose had been completely smashed in, with dark blue blood streaming down nonstop.

However, the bone dog remained immovable in its spot.

——Its bones were originally the Shattered Bone taken from the body of a giant dragon by Wu Xiaode, who spent over three million Soul Power to slash a sword in the giant dragon’s world.

The giant dragon was a top-tier existence in the Death World!

The strength inherent in these bones alone was enough to handle the Ice Frost Giant Bear before it!

The bone dog leaped—

It jumped onto the head of the Ice Frost Giant Bear, forcefully driving its claws into the back of the bear’s neck.

The Giant Bear immediately let out an earth-shattering roar, its body shuddering wildly as it twisted desperately to throw the bone dog off,

The bone dog bared its teeth coldly and drove its other paw into the back of the neck.

With a forceful tear from both claws—

A ring of blood mist exploded from the neck of the Ice Frost Giant Bear.

It collapsed heavily onto the ground, motionless.

The battle had ended.

Wu Xiaode sent a telepathic message to the three Eye Demons opposite him:

"Well? Anything else to say?"

The three Eye Demons looked at each other and simultaneously bowed their heads.

——This was the way Eye Demons communicated with each other.

Since the other party had won, it was proof that they were stronger in all respects.

After all, using pets controlled by Spirit Control in battle was the most important fighting method for the Eye Demons.

Because of their frail bodies, Eye Demons generally had their pets fight at the forefront while they hid behind, casting mental and spatial spells.

"We acknowledge your strength," said the leading Eye Demon.

"Hmm, that’s more like it. What are you doing here?" Wu Xiaode asked, glancing toward the Bone Dog.

The Bone Dog had opened its mouth and was tearing into the skull of the Ice Frost Giant Bear.

Before long,

The Ice Frost Giant Bear’s skull was exposed.

In the center of its skull, there was a naturally formed Frost Rune.

The Bone Dog bit off the Frost Rune, along with the bones it was imprinted on, and swallowed them in one gulp.

Hum——

A wave of Ice Frost power radiated from its body.

The Bone Dog let out an excited bark, jumped down, and dashed over to Wu Xiaode.

"I’ve leveled up," it conveyed through thought.

"Great, do you have any new abilities?" Wu Xiaode asked eagerly.

"I do——"

The Bone Dog hopped back onto the Book of the Dead and exhaled a stream of ice-cold mist onto the pages.

The mist once again coalesced into a blank search bar.

"Isn’t this exactly the same as before?" Wu Xiaode asked, puzzled.

"Look closely," the Bone Dog instructed telepathically.

Wu Xiaode widened his vertical pupils and examined the search bar.

This time, he noticed two lines of small text beneath the search bar:

"This search bar has been upgraded; results will not include any advertisement content;"

"This search bar now can perform real-name searches of the target’s location and status, provided the target is within the current world."

Thoughts raced through Wu Xiaode’s mind.

The first feature was to be expected. You’re a dragon, not taking the holy path, so you don’t plan on becoming a Holy Death Giant Dragon in the future, right?

The second feature, however, was interesting.

Real-name search...

"Search for Xia Huilan for me," he said.

"Alright."

The Bone Dog raised its paws and typed into the Void, turning the search bar into a mist of Ice Frost, revealing Xia Huilan’s figure.

Xia Huilan was seen sitting at a command post, reporting the previous events to several individuals dressed in General’s uniforms.

"How about that, not bad, right?" the Bone Dog said with a laugh.

"Not bad—rest for now, I’ll deal with these Eye Demons," Wu Xiaode said.

The Bone Dog’s expression turned serious, and it adamantly cautioned:

"Don’t underestimate the Eye Demons; they were once masters of all beings. Later, as the Epochs changed, their power waned. If you get a chance, you must acquire their power."

A chill ran through Wu Xiaode’s heart.

The wisdom and heritage of the dragon were no joke. Since it had said this, he must find a way to complete this task.

"I understand,"

Wu Xiaode responded.

The Book of the Dead closed.

He looked toward the three Eye Demons opposite him.

The Eye Demons were still bowing their bodies in a gesture of awe and submission.

Wu Xiaode thought for a moment and then burst into laughter:

"Alright then, it’s rare to come across some of my own kind. I was just playing with you. Stand up."

The three Eye Demons breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and floated in mid-air again.

"What should we call you?" one of the Eye Demons asked respectfully.

"And you?" Wu Xiaode asked in return.

"Wind," one of the Eye Demons said.

"Forest," said the second one.

"Fire," said the third.

Wu Xiaode’s mind clicked, and he gestured with a tentacle: "I am Mountain."

"So you are Brother Shan," the three Eye Demons said in unison.

"Right, now what are you doing here?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"The demons won’t let us engage with strong enemies. As a result, we don’t have quality pets, and our strength cannot improve," Wind explained.

"We managed to deceive the other species and teleported a powerful warrior from the heartland of the Human Race. She was known as the female war god—we intended to turn her into a pet to fight for us," Forest elaborated.

"But she disappeared!" Fire added.

"I see, humans aren’t exactly a powerful species, why would you go to such lengths to capture a human?" Wu Xiaode asked with feigned indifference.

The three Eye Demons exchanged looks and sighed together:

"The other species won’t allow us to interact with their people, not even their corpses; they won’t let us control them, sigh."

——Are things really that bad?

"What about the others in our clan?" Wu Xiaode inquired.

"They can’t even find food, let alone pets; they dare not show themselves, brother," Wind said.

"Indeed, without food, there’s no Soul Power; without pets, we cannot confront other species face-to-face and can only hide," Forest mentioned.

"Our hard-won scheme has led to losing that female warrior of the Human Race, sigh, it’s over now," Fire lamented.

Wu Xiaode observed their despondent faces and, with a flicker in his vertical pupils, spoke up: "You saw my pet a moment ago, didn’t you?"

The Eye Demons nodded together.

"Is it powerful?" Wu Xiaode questioned.

"Powerful!" the Eye Demons admitted wholeheartedly.

"In that case... I think we can spare ourselves the trouble. Join me in equipping my pet with gear and power. If it evolves to a certain point—"

"Trust me, it is our Eye Demon Clan’s true opportunity to rise in prominence once again,"

Wu Xiaode said slowly.
