Chapter 395: Chapter 398: Shadow Demon Beast

After Wang Cai put away the Qiankun Compass in his hand, the entire Heavenly Pillar also slowly returned to normal, and except for the surface pattern of the master changing, there was no discernible difference from before.

Mu Can nodded his head, one hand deftly resting on the third Heavenly Pillar, and then his vision blurred. When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a place filled with darkness, where he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face.

“Who’s there?” Mu Can felt like something touched his leg, he called out softly, then kicked out. In this kind of darkness, having someone easily reach his side was not a fun matter.

“Woof! I’m here, why did you kick me?” Wang Cai’s voice came through. It seemed that Mu Can’s kick had genuinely hit Wang Cai, who was speechless for a moment. Just appearing here, he got harshly kicked.

“Sorry, so sorry.” Mu Can quickly apologized. He’d rather apologize himself than provoke Wang Cai, especially since it was his fault in the first place. He should have been aware of Wang Cai’s presence, but still, he kicked out subconsciously.

“Woof! If apologies were useful, the world would be filled with peace.” Wang Cai wasn’t buying it. After all the trouble he went through to help you decipher the array on the Heavenly Pillar and come in to help you pass the trial, he hadn’t expected to be harshly kicked the moment he appeared. He definitely wasn’t going to let Mu Can off easily.

A man and a dog were about to battle it out again, but thankfully Mu Can was aware of his current situation and quickly promised many benefits to Wang Cai, which calmed him down.

The series of benefits promised to Wang Cai included, but were not limited to, finding three treasures for him, and when encountering treasures next time, giving Wang Cai the priority to choose. This dog was truly a treasure-obsessed one.

“Young man, light a fire.” Although with their level of cultivation, they could perceive their surroundings, Wang Cai still reminded Mu Can to create some light, as they were still not used to navigating solely with their senses.

Hearing Wang Cai’s words, Mu Can gestured effortlessly, and Fire Attribute Spiritual Power surged within him. Two Fire Dragons formed beside Mu Can. Not only that, Mu Can unprecedentedly infused the Fire Dragons with robust Life Spiritual Power, endowing them with a semblance of life, as they shook their heads and swayed as if they had Spiritual Wisdom.

“Go investigate our surroundings; you, stay close to me.” Mu Can pointed, and one of the Fire Dragons flew off to the side while the other circled around him.

The appearance of the two Fire Dragons illuminated their surroundings as if it were daylight.

“Woof! That’s not bad.” Wang Cai looked at the circling Fire Dragons, clicking his tongue in admiration. He didn’t expect Mu Can to have such a skill. Although Mu Can could previously manifest a Giant Dragon form with Spiritual Power, it never had this aura of Spiritual Energy. These two Giant Dragons, if they weren’t witnessed by Wang Cai as manifestations of Mu Can’s Spiritual Power, could have been mistaken for real living creatures.

“The wonders of Life Spiritual Power are too many. Only now can I understand why the Reincarnation Pearl needs such a vast amount of Life Spiritual Power,” Mu Can commented lightly.

Life is a miracle in itself, and Life Spiritual Power can be called the most mysterious of all Spiritual Powers.

“Be careful. Among the Banna Clan, those who have passed the three Heavenly Pillar trials are considered once-in-a-century geniuses,” Wang Cai cautioned, then carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The two Giant Dragons summoned by Mu Can were gigantic, reaching about a hundred meters in length, illuminating the entire area.

“Yes, I know,” Mu Can nodded. Although he had managed to get through the first two trials with more luck than danger, Mu Can knew there was an element of taking shortcuts.

While they were talking, the Fire Dragon that went off to investigate let out a mournful cry and exploded into a shower of sparks that slowly dissipated in the air. It had been stealthily attacked by some creature and could only send out a warning cry before being killed without a chance to fight back.

One should know that Mu Can had poured a lot of effort into these two Fire Dragons, having expended nearly half of the Life Spiritual Power in his body.

“Be careful.” Wang Cai looked cautiously at the spot where the incident occurred. Mu Can didn’t see clearly, but Wang Cai did. Just now, a shadow flashed by and, in the next moment, one of the Giant Dragons exploded into a shower of sparks before the shadow vanished back into the darkness.

“It seems that this trial’s Giant Beast is not easy to deal with, and it is very likely one of those assassin-type Giant Beasts,” Mu Can’s Spiritual Power surged, creating several Ice Shields around him and slowly rotating, protecting both him and Wang Cai inside.

Bang!

A startling thud was heard, and a massive crack appeared on one of the Ice Shields in front of Mu Can. It seemed that one more attack like that, and the Ice Shield would definitely dissipate into the air.

After a missed strike, the shadow disappeared in an instant. This time, Mu Can only caught a glimpse of a passing black shadow, while Wang Cai clearly saw it was a pitch-black little beast, much smaller than expected, not a Giant Beast but rather a miniature-looking little beast.

“Shadow Demon Beast,” Wang Cai said, recognizing the creature.

It was a tiny creature that lived in darkness, a natural-born assassin that specialized in preying on large targets. Even the Dragon Group was on its menu.

“Be careful, this one is not easy to handle,” Wang Cai cautioned.

Faced with an opponent that could make Wang Cai show such caution, Mu Can would naturally not take it lightly. Spiritual Power swirling, he doubled the number of Ice Shields. This time, sixteen Ice Shields surrounded and slowly rotated around Mu Can.

“Wang Cai, does this thing have any weaknesses?”

From the first encounter, Mu Can understood that the tiny beast’s greatest advantage was its incredible speed, while its Attack Power was the shortcoming. If it indeed had extraordinary Attack Power, then the first attack would have shattered the Ice Shield, leaving no opportunity for a second attack.

“Woof! Nothing much, just catch and kill it. It’s just too fast, and we can’t let it escape. I know that these Heavenly Pillar trials are timed,” Wang Cai said.
