Chapter 1448
Chapter 1448 Hanyang Long Time No See
“Are we safe for real?” Mengmeng repeated her question.
After they entered the secret realm, Zhang Han only looked around for two seconds and then took them to fly at a fast speed.
During this period, he also took out some crystal stones and set up an ambush.
They also encountered strange beasts on the way, but Zhang Han could always avoid them or cast a spell to force them back.
They didn’t encounter other trouble. When they crossed the river, Zhang Han said, “We’re safe now.”
After he said that, Grand Master Chu had a strange expression on his face. “I’m afraid that only an expert like you would have the confidence to make us safe in the secret realm, Big Brother.”
“Let’s go and see what is inside this secret realm.”
Zhang Han led the group to move forward quickly. Sometimes, they were very careful. It took them a few minutes to walk only dozens of meters.
However, with them leading the way in the front, the team of King Luo Dong in the rear encountered some trouble, which was relatively limited.
At the same time.
In the depths of the secret realm, in the center area, there were numerous mountain peaks that seemed to have been carved.
The mountain peaks were of different colors, and the mountain ranges below were continuous. Some people could occasionally be seen walking here.
“Have you found that black dog?”
“How dare they snatch from our Illusory Sea Manor? They are truly courting death!”
“That black dog is too fast and scheming. Elder Li is very powerful, but that black dog always robs the weak and never faces Elder Li head-on.”
“Be careful. There are many spiritual treasures in this secret realm, especially spiritual herbs. Someone has seen that the black dog has taken a kind of ninth-tier spiritual herb, as well as more than a dozen eighth-tier ones. It also snatched countless seventh-tier ones. It’s like a black dog with a herb garden.”
“It’s really weird. Our sect has millions of people, but we’ve failed to catch a dog. Besides, we have Elder Li leading the team and more than a hundred other elders. Why can’t we catch it?”
“That dog’s nose is very sensitive. It can smell experts’ odor. No matter how hard the elders try to conceal themselves, it would not work.”
“It’ll be a great merit if we catch the black dog. Unfortunately, it’s not something we can do.”
“I hope Elder Li has a solution. Although our sect is powerful, there are also many people from other sects here, especially those from other Astral Domains. They are not easy to deal with. So far, more than 30,000 disciples of our sect have died. This is only the preliminary estimate. In fact, there are more of them. We should be careful.”
At the center of the secret realm, there seemed to be an incomparably large game going on.
Not just the Illusory Sea Manor but the other large sects also issued an order.
“Whoever finds that black dog will be rewarded with a seventh-tier spirit treasure.”
“Whoever catches that black dog will be rewarded with three kinds of eighth-tier spirit treasures!”
“If you find that dog, you’ll get 3,000 points.”
“….”
The various rewards made many disciples go crazy.
In fact, only the high-level officials present knew how many spirit treasures the black dog had taken.
It took them a lot of effort to clear the way from the periphery to the core area. They saw a Bounded Domain, the core spirit treasure of this secret realm, and a huge herb garden.
Unexpectedly, a black dog was frantically plundering that herb garden, which was a hilarious scene.
“It’s been a year!” The Illusory Sea Manor’s Elder Li looked at the countless mountain ranges in front of him and sighed softly, “We have obtained nothing. All the secret realm’s supreme treasures have been snatched away by that black dog. Where is it from?”
It had always been the great sects that fought over treasures in the great secret realms.
Now, it turned out to be a competition for a dog-pursue.
It was almost a peaceful scene.
When people from different sects bumped into each other, they didn’t go tit-for-tat like before.
“Have you found the black dog?”
“No. What about you?”
“I can’t even see its tail.”
“Well, let’s continue to search. I hope you can find the black dog soon. I don’t want to stay here.”
“Gee, thanks. I don’t want to find it. Someone else will do it.”
For a period, the black dog especially led the crowd to plunder the nests of the local Exotic Beasts.
Because of this, many people died.
One day, two days… ten days later.
Hiss!
A slight sniff sounded in the dark of the forest.
Swoosh!
Like a bolt of black lightning, a black figure flew forward at an extremely fast speed.
Moments later, a woman in cyan ahead was about to take a sixth-tier spiritual herb.
The black figure flickered, and the spiritual herb was gone.
“What?”
The woman was stunned. After a short while, she exclaimed, “It’s the black dog. That black dog is here!”
“Search for it now!”
Many disciples in the surroundings were in a state of chaos and got busy for quite a while before they helplessly stopped.
They weren’t as fast as the black dog and couldn’t find it.
According to the rough estimations of the major sects, the black dog’s instant speed was no less than that of a full-speed aircraft. Moreover, it was more flexible and could hide its aura better. It was difficult to sense its presence as it was just like an illusory ghost.
In fact, it didn’t matter how fast it was. There were too many people present who could deal with it.
The thing was that those powerful people could not meet the black dog at all.
It had been hiding the entire time. It had a special method of sensing one’s aura.
It kept avoiding the elders, and the others couldn’t catch up with it. For a moment, they were in a rather awkward situation.
Many elders shook their heads and sighed softly. “I’m afraid only the Tribulation Stage Supreme Experts can catch that black dog. Even Elder Li of the Illusory Sea Manor, who is at the Peak Stage of the Mastery Realm, can’t do anything about it. We don’t have any chance at all.”
Having been here chasing after a dog for half a year, the major sects got to know each other and even had sympathetic feelings.
Hiss!
This black dog was, of course, Little Hei.
It sniffed every once in a while, and Little Hei finally realized the power of its Treasure-sniffing nose.
“Before Master comes to pick me up, I’ll save more treasures.”
Little Hei had never stopped, which was also the reason why the major sects called it a Treasure Dog.
The secret realm was so large. Who could stand it while 80% of the treasures were taken away by a dog?
The dog-catching competition was still ongoing.
Little Hei finally revealed its weakness to them.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…
“Ow!
“Ow! Ow!”
Little Hei usually used its Treasure-sniffing nose as usual. Suddenly, it was stunned, and its pupils contracted rapidly.
It began to shout.
“Awoooooooo!”
The sound waves were extremely loud and spread out in all directions.
“Master!”
Little Hei stared into the distance and flew away in a straight line at its fastest speed.
It could sniff the smell of its host and Little Master.
It didn’t pay attention to the others as long as it could sense these two auras.
At that moment, Little Hei was as happy as a puppy.
When it was flying wildly-
“Woof!”
It even let out a familiar bark.
But most of the time, it was roaring.
Little Hei was telling its master that it was coming. “I’m coming for you!”
But it was still too far away from Zhang Han and his group, so they couldn’t hear it.
However, the people of all the major sects present heard it.
Someone exclaimed, “Did that black dog actually let out a roar?”
Someone asked suspiciously, “Is this a trap?”
Someone said angrily, “Provocation! This is purely a provocation! It’s insulting us!”
But at the same time, they were very fast. They rushed to the source of the sound. Some of them who didn’t hear the sound was also informed by their subordinates and quickly flew over.
“Elder Li, it’s over there. That black dog is very fast. It’s flying ahead.”
Many subordinates of the Illusory Sea Manor reported the news.
Swoosh!
Elder Li’s speed was extremely fast. In fact, there was even a trace of joy on his face.
In this secret realm, his strength was the strongest. When he caught the black dog, he would no longer need to be subservient to others and could easily walk away.
He rapidly flew over
Moments later.
The faces of many elders from other sects changed slightly.
“Elder Li, you’ve come so quickly.”
“Of course, I have to.” Elder Li said lightly, “That black dog has finally appeared in our sight. If we don’t take action now, we may not have another chance to do it.”
“Elder Li, you made us feel a lot of pressure.” Someone said with a bitter smile.
“We’re in the same boat. Whoever is capable and has more means will be able to catch that black dog. We are getting along quite well with each other in this secret realm, so I feel that the competition later should not be too fierce. How about stopping at where it should?” Elder Li said.
He was not afraid of these people, but he was afraid of their alliance.
All the major sects also had their own ideas in mind.
There was only one black dog.
It didn’t matter who caught it. What mattered was whom the treasures would end up with.
Most likely, even the elders of small powers would have to hand over quite a few treasures before being able to leave unscathed.
In this regard, the pressure on the small forces in the secret realm was very great.
“Found it!”
There were more than a hundred people in the front, 30% of whom were elders from the Illusory Sea Manor.
One of them cried out in alarm, “It’s up ahead!”
From a distance, they could see a black shadow rushing forward like a stream of light. The black dog didn’t seem to care about being discovered, nor did it care about the people chasing it from behind. It flew forward in a hurry.
“Is there something important ahead?”
Someone said, “It must be something that the black dog cares about very much. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have flown like this without even hiding its aura.”
“No matter what it is, I’m only interested in that dog!”
Swoosh!
The elder who spoke suddenly took out a flying supreme treasure. It was a disc with a diameter of two meters. His speed had obviously increased.
When the others saw this, they all cast their supernatural powers and picked up their speed.
But the fastest one was still Elder Li.
He sneered in his heart. “The black dog is mine!”
He had to get the black dog in front of him.
The black dog had gotten too many spiritual herbs, which were quite valuable, especially the ninth-tier ones. They were all rare in the world. Who wouldn’t be tempted by those?
“Where do you think you are going?”
Some of the elders began to attack.
However, no matter how hard they tried, their moves did not have much of an impact on Little Hei because it was far away.
An intense pursuit began.
On Zhang Han’s side.
They were sitting on the edge of a cliff on the side of a waterfall.
The scenery was not bad, and there was an open space.
“Take a two-hour break.”
Zhang Han waved his hand.
Dahei began to roast some meat, and the others also sat down.
“I didn’t expect that we would bump into a secret realm. It’s hard to predict what will happen in the world. I’m afraid that King Luo Dong will regret it later.” Grand Master Chu sneered. “He should’ve let your parents go directly instead of doing all of this.”
Along the way, Zhang Han set up many traps, which were enough to make the other party suffer a lot.
“Daddy, when will we go to find Mummy?” Mengmeng asked in a low voice.
“You haven’t found Yan yet?” Zhang Guangyou and Rong Jiali’s faces changed slightly.
“Not yet.” Zhang Han sighed and said, “But soon we will.”
As he spoke, he gently patted Mengmeng on the shoulder and said, “We’ve almost used up all our crystal stones now, so we need to pass through this secret realm and leave in another direction. If there are any Dao Seeking Cultivators of the Human Clan in this secret realm, we can rob some crystal stones by the way.”
“Okay,” Mengmeng replied.
She sat there in a daze.
This kind of travel could not make her happy. Only by reuniting with all her family and taking adventures together with them could she be truly happy.
Just as Mengmeng was feeling a little depressed.
“Awoooooooo!”
A loud cry came from a distance.
“Hey!”
Mengmeng’s beautiful big eyes slowly widened.
Little Hei had grown up with Mengmeng.
How could she not be able to recognize this voice?
“Little Hei!”
Mengmeng suddenly stood up straight, her eyes shining, and looked to the side.
“Is Little Hei here?” Mu Xue was pleasantly surprised.
“It’s Little Hei,” Chu Qingyi also stood up.
“Ow! Ow! Ow!”
Dahei was so excited that its body kept rising, turning into a 150-meter-tall giant. It kept pounding its chest with its fists and shouted, “Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!”
It responded with its roaring.
“Awoooooooo!”
Little Hei’s cry came again.
This was a kind of sound-making skill. The sounds spread very fast while Little Hei was still some distance away from here.
But it would only take three or two minutes for Little Hei to arrive.
“Hahaha.”
Dahei shouted, “Second Brother, come here!”
“Little Hei is back!” Mengmeng said, “Daddy, Little Hei is back!”
“I can hear it.”
Zhang Han smiled.
He got up with Zhang Guangyou and Rong Jiali.
Everyone looked to the side, while Grand Master Chu was in a daze. He looked at Dahei, whose feet were taller than him. It was the first time that he had seen a chimpanzee that could transform.
“No. It can’t be!”
Grand Master Chu’s expression changed. “This is a King Kong? The legendary King Kong?”
His way of looking at Dahei suddenly changed.
No one could answer his question.
In fact, except for Zhang Han, no one else knew the current state of Dahei.
Zhang Han didn’t know much about it. He only knew that Dahei was growing and on the way to the King Kong Realm.
But there was still a long way to go before Dahei could become a real King Kong.
“Little Hei.”
Mengmeng wanted to fly over to meet it.
“Master, Little Master, don’t come over. Run now!”
Little Hei said that via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
Mengmeng’s pretty face changed.
Zhang Han observed for a while. He took out thousands of crystal stones with a wave of his hand and set up a formation that could increase everyone’s speed. He was ready to withdraw.
From afar, they could see a black shadow rapidly approaching from the sky above the mountain range.
But soon, more and more figures were chasing after it.
The distance was not close, but it was not far for Dao Seeking Cultivators.
“Prepare to flee now!”
Grand Master Chu came to his senses. He felt that the other party was not ordinary, and his face changed dramatically.
Especially Elder Li, who made him feel greatly intimidated.
“Hahaha, we’re finally going to catch that black dog!”
Someone roared loudly from the back.
The situation seemed to be slightly critical. It was a critical moment.
Zhang Han, however, froze a bit.
He waved his hand and said, “Let’s wait.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
He took out the last few crystal stones in his pocket, which were about 50,000 crystal stones. He set up more than a dozen layers of magic formations, ready to take action when the opportunity was right.
Little Hei was getting closer and closer.
The distance narrowed from a thousand meters to a hundred meters.
Swoosh!
Little Hei came to them.
“Master, Little Master!”
Little Hei sat in front of Zhang Han and Mengmeng, wagging its tail. It raised its head slightly and looked at the two with clear eyes. It opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue. It looked a little tired.
On Little Hei’s neck, there was a necklace, which was tied to a Space Ring.
“Little Hei!”
Mengmeng wrapped her arms around Little Hei’s head.
“There are so many people behind us. Daddy, why don’t we run now?” Mengmeng also noticed the people chasing after Little Hei.
However, Zhang Han remained still.
He narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. “We’ll keep waiting.”
Gurgle!
Grand Master Chu swallowed a bit.
He was a little nervous, but suddenly, he also exclaimed in surprise, “Hey? Tsk, tsk, hahaha.”
Abruptly, Grand Master Chu began to laugh loudly.
He no longer seemed to be afraid at all.
Gradually, under everyone’s gaze, hundreds of people came over in a mighty manner.
They were quite shocked and bewildered when they saw Zhang Han and the others.
They stayed levitating a kilometer away because they couldn’t feel Zhang Han’s aura.
“Are they experts?
“We’d better be careful and figure out the situation before taking action.
“If those people are powerful, whoever comes forward will be asking for trouble.”
“Is that black dog their pet?”
“Who are those people?”
“Which force do they belong to?”
Many people had their doubts.
Some impatient people could not help but ask.
At that moment, Elder Li suddenly flew forward and loudly laughed as he said something that caused the expressions of everyone present to change greatly.
“Hahahaha!
“It’s Hanyang!
“Greetings to Han Yang Immortal!”
Elder Li clasped his hands in the air and paid his respect.
Zhang Han also smiled and said, “Elder Li, you haven’t changed.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The expressions of the hundreds of people present were largely the same.
At first, they were stunned, and then they were shocked with their face pale. Cold sweat soon flowed down their faces.
“What the hell?
“Han Yang Immortal? An Immortal Master?
“A super expert who’s above the fourth-tier Tribulation Stage?”
Countless people gasped in horror.
At the same time, they also finally came to a realization.
“That black dog belongs to the Immortal Master!”
They sighed. “So it turns out to be the Immortal Master’s dog. Then everything makes sense. It’s only natural that it’s formidable.”
Just at this moment.
“Master.”
Little Hei spoke the human language, “They have been trying to catch me for more than half a year.”
Hiss!
The hundreds of people gasped in unison.
Many of them looked at each other and found that they had the same expressions in their eyes, which meaning was – they should run now.
An elder with eagle-like eyebrows said, “My apologies. My granddaughter is about to labor. I have to go back and check on her.”
Swoosh!
He broke through the sound barrier in an instant and didn’t dare to join in the fun at all. When he fled, he was frightened and prayed in his heart. “Don’t attack me, Immortal Master! Please don’t attack!”
After running far away, he found that his clothes were all wet with sweat.
After he started fleeing, the others all followed him.
“I’m sorry, I got lost. How did I get here?”
“Well, my inner-door disciples asked me to go back for dinner. I shall excuse myself now.”
“I should go back to take some medicinal pellets. See you around.”
“…”
In just a minute, these people had all run away.
Out of trust for Elder Li, they all ran away, and no one dared to stay.
Because Elder Li was the strongest on the spot, so how could it be fake when he called the other party an Immortal Master?
“These people sure run fast.” Grand Master Chu laughed heartily. Then, he cupped his hands and said, “Greetings, Elder Li.”
“Zheng.”
Elder Li quickly flew over, glanced at him, and laughed. “Why are you following Hanyang again, kid?”
After teasing Grand Master Chu, he looked at Zhang Han.
The two of them exchanged a glance.
“Hahahaha!”
Elder Li laughed, raised his arm, and hugged Zhang Han.
He softly said, “Hanyang, long time no see.”
