Chapter 54, Team 1, Little Dog Head
"Explore the first level of the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm with the help of the Spirit Fruit? Defeat Niu Daren? Obtain the illusion of the Fiery Heavenly Dog?"
Lu Chao was completely bewildered.
He looked at Niu Daren beside him.
Niu Daren was also stunned. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could say anything, suddenly with a bang, his whole body turned into a blue fruit shaped like a pear, bouncing on the ground like a ball.
【? ? : A special spiritual fruit? ? ?】
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
Lu Chaoding thought it was outrageous.
The spirit fruit that Niu Daren transformed into couldn't speak. It jumped around a bit, and Lu Chaoding immediately received a system notification: "Ding, the spirit fruit invites you to join the team. Do you agree?"
"Will you team up again?" Lu Chao immediately replied to the system: "Agreed!"
"Ding, team successfully formed!"
After the system notification, the spirit fruit that Niu Daren had transformed into just kept hopping forward mercilessly. After hopping for a while, it would stop in place. Lu Chao would follow, and it would continue hopping.
And so, Lu Chao followed the spirit fruit that Niu Daren had transformed into, and continued to delve deeper into the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm.
Two minutes later, the Spirit Fruit arrived at a red lava ditch. It quickly hopped twice in front of the ditch, and a ball of red gas suddenly surged up, which then quickly transformed into a translucent, blood-red, flying-haired Niu Daren.
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha!"
This "Niu Daren" was laughing strangely, as if he had been possessed by a demon. His body was semi-transparent, floating in mid-air, like a ghost.
【? : Special monster Niu Daren, LV15, HP 10000, Attack 1000, Resilience 5, Defense 5, Speed 100, possesses skills Blood Drinking Return to Origin, Sweeping All Directions, Heavenly Demon Transformation ???】
"Senior Brother, you're getting arrogant!"
Lu Chao shook his head. Without any mercy, he pointed and sent a large array of Xuan swords flying towards the [Special Monster Niu Daren]!
Boom boom boom boom...
In a flash of fire, the special monster Niu Daren was instantly blasted to death.
Lu Chaoding is currently level 15 with an attack power of 220. He is not riding the Black Saber-toothed Tiger at this moment. The Earth Spirit is equipped with the [Little Clam Spirit] and the weapon is the [Great Xuan Sword] with a refinement of +6. The total attack power is 460. With the first strike, the weapon output, sword shadow output, toughness break damage, and fire explosion, the total damage of one attack is as high as 10428. When it hits the [Special Spirit Niu Daren], it will overflow by 428 points.
A single, fatal blow requires no entry into the battle space. The special monster, Niu Daren, vanished in a flash of light, but firelight gathered again in its place, quickly forming a phantom the size of a water buffalo.
The phantom resembled a bulldog with short limbs, a large head, a face full of wrinkles, and a pair of fiery wings on its back. It was the [Phantom of the Fiery Heavenly Dog], its tongue lolling out as it stared at Lu Chaoding with a憨憨 (simple and honest) expression.
【? : A special phantom of the Fiery Tengu, LV15, HP 30000, Attack 3000, Resilience 12, Defense 20, Speed 120 ? ? ?】
A system notification suddenly sounded: "Ding, the phantom of the Fiery Tengu has become your follower!"
"Ding! [Phantom of the Fiery Tengu] requests to join your party. Do you accept?"
"accept!"
Niu Daren responded to the system, and immediately, the team panel popped up, and [Phantom of the Fiery Tengu] really joined the team.
"Ding, an unknown error has occurred. Automatic repair is now available."
"Ding! The phantom of the Fiery Tengu has transformed into a special Earthly Deity, its level has been reduced to LV1. This Earthly Deity does not occupy the Earthly Deity slot and is set as a personal battle attendant."
"Not taking up any prime spots, this is getting more and more exciting!"
Lu Chaoding was very excited at this moment. He looked at the [Phantom of the Fiery Heavenly Dog] again. With a bang, the phantom transformed into a small puppy the size of a soccer ball. Its head was particularly large, its limbs were particularly short, and it was fat and chubby. It flapped its wings and flew around Lu Chaoding. Its attribute information also changed.

"Haha, we've got another little thug!"
Lu Chaoding felt pretty good.
At this moment, the spirit fruit that Niu Daren had transformed into continued to hop forward, like a leader.
It was clearly very familiar with the terrain of the first level of the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, and seemed to know the hiding places of all the "special monsters Niu Daren". It led Lu Chaoding forward, sometimes bumping into a "Niu Daren" on the rock wall, sometimes stepping on a "Niu Daren" on the ground.
In short, Lu Chao followed him closely, and whenever he encountered "Niu Daren", he would immediately attack with his sword, instantly killing him each time!
As a result, more and more of the [Phantom of the Fiery Heavenly Dog] followed Lu Chaoding and all of them transformed into the Three-Star Earth Prayer.
An hour later, Lingqi Guo led Lu Chaoding to the second entrance of the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm. At this time, there were already 18 [Phantoms of Fiery Heavenly Dogs] in Lu Chaoding's group. They were all the size of basketballs, like small bulldogs, flapping their wings and following behind Lu Chaoding.
At that moment, the spirit fruit fell to the ground with a thud and stopped bouncing.
"Ding! You have cleared the first level of the Tengu Secret Realm and killed all the [Special Monster Niu Daren]. The secret realm characteristics of the first level of the Tengu Secret Realm have been removed."
"Ding! The Spirit Fruit has left the team!"
Lu Chao bent down, picked up the spirit fruit, and said with a regretful expression, "Spirit fruit, spirit fruit, what happened to you? Spirit fruit, you can't die!"
The system notification that responded to Lu Chao's challenge was: "Ding! You have obtained an opportunity! Congratulations on receiving the Spiritual Energy Fruit!"
Upon closer inspection, Lu Chaoding discovered that the item in his hand was now an ordinary spirit fruit. It possessed complete attribute information, just as Niu Daren had previously stated. This item was "rarely found," with only one in the entire Heavenly Dog Secret Realm. Players could either consume it themselves or feed it to the Earthly Deities. Consuming it would grant cultivation points, while feeding it to the Earthly Deities might allow them to level up. This fruit had even more uses, which players would need to explore on their own.
"This is good stuff. I have to take it back to my cave and study it carefully."
Lu Chao glanced back at the phantom of the Fiery Heavenly Dog following behind him and muttered to himself, "One spirit fruit and 18 dog heads, this is a pretty good harvest. It's a pity that my senior brother was sacrificed; his death was too bizarre!"
Lu Chaoding laughed. He wanted to enter the second level of the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm, but the entrance to the second level was blocked by a purple light curtain. Lu Chaoding tried but couldn't get in.
"Ding! Please locate the entrance to the second level of the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm, opened by Niu Daren!"
Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Chao muttered, "I still need to find my senior brother, but he's all turned into a spirit fruit. Where am I supposed to find him?"
Lu Chaoding then led a small team of dog-headed individuals to explore the first level of the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm again, but left after finding nothing.
Upon returning to the summit of Quanya Mountain, Lu Chaoding immediately saw Niu Daren standing there blankly.
"The senior brother has refreshed!"
Lu Chao was overjoyed and rushed to Lord Niu, asking, "Shall we go to the second level of the Heavenly Dog Secret Realm?"
