CHAPTER 292 THE DEAD DOG

After Darren had killed the double-headed mutant, he took his corpse and quietly walked back.

"I never thought that you were so strong, Darren! You just killed a double-headed monster all by

yourself!" Tom looked at Darren in awe. He initially thought that Darren's strength was only a little

superior to his, but the fact made it clear to him that Darren was not only stronger than him, but also

much more powerful.

Darren shook his head. "It was nothing. I would still need to draw the other double-headed monster's

attention away. Hurry and go fetch the fruit."

"Okay, I got it." Tom nodded once and dashed away.

Darren then walked towards the double-headed man guarding the tree, dragging the dead corpse of

the other.

"Ah, my brother!" The other double-headed monster's eyes grew wide in despair.

"I killed him. Don't you want to take revenge?" Darren threw the dead body towards the monster.

The monster narrowed his eyes at Darren. "Are you trying to lure me away? No way!" The double-

headed man was quite smarter than Darren had thought—he did not fall for Darren's trick.

The monster suddenly raised his head towards the sky

and howled like a wolf.

"Damn! He's summoning his pals!" Darren's eyes widened in alarm—he had a bad feeling about what

was going to happen. He then immediately charged at the monster, trying to get a head start in the fight

before the others arrived.

"Come on, Tom! We can't afford to waste any time!"

Rushing towards the fruit tree, Tom quickened his pace even more.

Boom!

The battle had begun. The double-headed monster was evidently much stronger and much smarter

than the previous one. He had a good strategy and was very efficient in his attacks, using strong ones

in short intervals, giving Darren no chance to defend himself or counterattack. He was even able to

bombard Tom with attacks when fighting Darren. Tom fell down from the tree several times.

The rumbling of numerous heavy footsteps was heard not far ahead—a powerful army of monsters was

approaching.

Within a few moments, hundreds of strong figures charged right towards them. Numerous double-

headed monsters had heard the monster's call for help.

"Now, Tom!" he urged. Seeing the pack of double-headed monsters, Darren activated all his power and

attacked the double-headed monster who was guarding the fruit tree.

The double-headed monster guarding the fruit tree lowered his vigilance once he saw his leader

coming with the whole army. This resulted in him getting hit by Darren's attack, stumbling a few feet

backwards.

Tom took this chance; he quickly swiped at the Seven-holy Fruits and picked them off the tree. Once he

absorbed the fruits, he immediately felt that the suppression on him weakened and his strength

drastically spiked up.

"Kill him!" Hundreds of double-headed monsters charged towards Darren.

"Hey! You bunch of stupid beasts!" Tom snorted smugly. He then flew towards the charging army,

smashing a few dozen heads of double-headed monsters with the wave of a hand.

"Tom! Watch out!" Darren called out as he saw one of the double-headed monsters charging towards

Tom on full force. The monster broke out a strength that was almost comparable to the strength of a

warrior in the Wonder Realm.

Tom had now fully recovered his power, but he was still only at the primary stage of the Wonder Realm

—he was out-matched by the double-headed monster's strength.

"Damn humans. Do you really think that you are the only ones who are capable of figuring out ways to

break free from the suppression? Go to hell!" The strong double-headed monster continued to march,

shaking both of his heads disdainfully.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Tom was able to immediately react after he heard Darren's warning. However, the double-headed man

had also recovered his strength, severely injuring Tom with ease.

After wrecking Tom, the strong double-headed monster then directly charged at Darren next.

'This will not do. I have to summon the Water Kylin, ' Darren thought. Without the help of the Water

Kylin, Darren would surely be killed in an instant.

"Water Kylin! Come out now!" Darren utilized his spiritual sense and soon, there was a rumble that

echoed in the Ancient Void Battlefield.

The air in front of Darren distorted, and then a black figure of the size of a goat appeared—it was a

miniature-sized Water Kylin.

"I want you to kill them all. If you succeed, I will order Finley to treat you nicely," Darren said dryly,

glowering at the charging monster.

However, instead of following Darren's order, the Water Kylin dropped down onto the ground like a

dead dog.

"What?" Darren lowered his head to check on the Water Kylin. His back was suddenly soaked in cold

sweat; he saw the Water Kylin's head droop down and its tongue peak out—Darren could not even

sense any sign of life from it.

"What the hell happened? Did Finley actually beat him to death?"

The double-headed monsters in front of him, who were all initially startled, started to laugh incessantly.

They realized that the thing Darren summoned was nothing more than a dead dog.

The thunderous rumbling of the strong double-headed monster's footsteps grew louder

as he swiftly stormed towards Darren, all four arms violently swinging forward.

The thought of being subjected to a force with the strength of the Wonder Realm terrified Darren—a

mere slap had the possibility of crushing him into pieces.

Now out of options, Darren had no choice but to use the Water Kylin's body as a shield to withstand the

attack.

All the double-headed men were stupefied by what happened in the next moment;

the powerful double-headed monster exerted all his strength and attacked the Water Kylin, but then his

four arms were suddenly shattered by some unknown force. A coppery smell filled the air as the fog of

blood dispersed.

"I'm going to kill all you beasts! Every last one!"

Tom had recovered his strength and was now charging towards the powerful double-headed monster,

bombarding him with hundreds of strikes that hit all his organs.

"You bastard! Our chief is not going to let you off, you insignificant human being!" the powerful monster

bellowed, refusing to resign himself to defeat.

"Go to hell!" Tom sent out another powerful slap, crushing the rest of the monster's body.

After that, Tom's figure flashed around the rest of the double-headed monsters. They all fell in their own

pool of blood as Tom swiftly beheaded them one by one.

Tom immediately felt exhausted after killing all the double-headed monsters. He fell onto the ground, no

longer able to support himself to stand upright. Brows furrowed in curiosity, he looked at the Water

Kylin then turned to Darren. "Where did you get this dead dog? His body was so strong that he crushed

the double-headed monster's arms into pieces."

Fed up, Darren rolled his eyes. This was the ancient legendary beast, but everyone thought that it was

a dead dog.

"Do you still remember the beast that attacked me when we came to the island?" Darren said, his face

blank.

"Ah! So... What you're saying is that's... The Water Kylin!" Tom was so excited that he tried to abruptly

get up, accidentally opening up his healing wounds. His face contorted in pain.

Darren slightly winced then said, "Yup. I have tamed it."

"What the hell, Darren! I'm starting to think that you're a true monster. You can even tame such a

powerful legendary beast! Oh my goodness!" Tom exclaimed in disbelief.

Darren clicked his tongue and said, "Enough about this. You need to take care of your wounds first. It

appears that all those double-headed monsters had figured out how to break the suppression. There

must be more powerful ones among them. We need to be even more cautious as possible."

Hearing what Darren said, Tom endured the pain he was feeling and flew up towards the fruit tree. He

picked off several Seven-holy Fruits and immediately began absorbing them. Once he had recovered

much of his strength, his started on healing his wounds.

Darren, on the other hand, was observing Water Kylin to see if he was really dead.

"Finley, why did you kill the Water Kylin?" Darren relayed a message back to Finley in the Ancient Void

Battlefield. His voice was brimming with anger.

"Hey don't get mad at me, Darren. I didn't kill him. I will have nobody to beat if I kill him. Besides, killing NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

him won't benefit me in any way." Finley seemed to be innocent.

"Well then, what the hell happened? Was he killed by that kid?" Darren was baffled.

"No, I don't think so. The kid was busy wandering around and playing with those flowers and grasses.

He hasn't had the time to cause any trouble so far. And I don't think that dog is dead. He's probably just

sleeping," Finley replied.

"This dead dog is actually just asleep!" Darren kicked the Water Kylin hard and shouted, "Get up! You

almost got me killed, do you know that?"

"Don't waste your efforts, Darren. You told me to break his meridians and send him to the spiritual pool,

remember? Well, when I brought him to the pool, he suddenly absorbed everything. He had been

asleep since. If I am not wrong, that dead dog is undergoing a complete transformation. He's going to

have a huge improvement in his strength soon enough."

Darren hummed. "Is that so?" Darren then recalled that when he found the spiritual pool in the Ancient

Void Battlefield, the spirit inside was too ancient for him to absorb, which was why he ordered Finley to

send Water Kylin there. However, even he himself never thought that the beast could actually benefit

from it.
