Chapter 484 The Strange Dog and Magical Treasure Add Interesting Stories, Dark Remnants Stir Up New
Amazing dog and magical artifact add to the fun, remnants of darkness stir up new waves.
After returning laden with treasures from the mysterious ruins, the castle was filled with a joyful atmosphere. The heroes' newly acquired powers invigorated the entire castle, the people revered them even more, and the children followed them around, eager to hear their exciting adventure stories.
Pigsy was smug all day long, swaggering around the castle and telling everyone he met, "You didn't see the dangers in those ruins, but we easily overcame them all. In the end, we even gained great power. Now my skills have reached a new level!"
Just as everyone was immersed in peace and joy, a dog wearing green shorts—Xiao Tian—suddenly appeared in the castle. This Xiao Tian was a descendant of the Howling Celestial Dog, inheriting his ancestor's cleverness and eccentricity. He would occasionally pull out strange and wonderful magical artifacts from who-knows-where to ambush the enemy, bringing a lot of joy and surprise to everyone.
One day, Xiao Tian was sunbathing in the castle garden when Zhu Bajie walked by, humming a little tune. Seeing Xiao Tian, Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up, and he decided to tease him.
"Hey, Xiao Tian, your green underwear is really eye-catching. Are you trying to attract the attention of some female dog?" Pigsy teased with a laugh.
Xiao Tian raised his head, glanced disdainfully at Zhu Bajie, pulled a small trumpet from under his belly, and blew it at Zhu Bajie. A cloud of colorful smoke billowed out of the trumpet, directly covering Zhu Bajie's face.
"Cough cough, you little beast, how dare you tease me, old pig!" Pigsy coughed as he waved his arms to disperse the smoke.
Xiao Tian barked smugly twice, as if to say, "Who told you to mess with me first?"
Just then, Xiaoqing passed by and, seeing Zhu Bajie's disheveled appearance, couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Bajie, what happened to you? Did Xiaotian teach you a lesson?"
Pigsy said angrily, "Hmph, this little dog is too ruthless. Little Green, you have to teach it a lesson for me."
Xiaoqing squatted down, patted Xiaotian's head, and said with a smile, "Xiaotian, you can't be so naughty. But Bajie, don't always tease it. Xiaotian has many magical treasures. If you provoke it again, maybe next time it won't spew out smoke, but something even stranger."
Just then, the castle alarm suddenly sounded. Everyone rushed to the castle gate, where they saw a dark aura rapidly spreading from the distant horizon.
Liu Yu said with a grave expression, "It seems the dark forces are up to something again. I didn't expect them to make a comeback so quickly."
Fahai clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, they must have realized that our strength has increased and want to launch a surprise attack before we have fully consolidated our power."
Lingyue frowned and analyzed, "No matter what, we must be on high alert. Our strength has improved since the trip to the ruins, and we must not let them succeed this time."
Xiao Tian seemed to sense the tense atmosphere as well. It stood up, its eyes fixed on the direction of the dark aura, and pulled out a small telescope from somewhere on its body to observe the enemy's movements.
Seeing Xiao Tian's actions, Pigsy couldn't help but say, "Xiao Tian, what can you see with that little telescope? It's not as good as my fiery eyes."
Xiao Tian barked twice at Zhu Bajie, seemingly in rebuttal. Suddenly, Xiao Tian put down his binoculars and pulled out a magical artifact resembling a windmill. The windmill spun rapidly, emitting beams of light, within which images of dark forces appeared. It turned out that this windmill artifact could clearly display distant scenes.
The crowd gathered around and saw that the dark forces included not only the previously seen dark creatures, but also some new faces. One of them, a tall dark mage, was wielding a staff inlaid with black gems, directing the dark creatures toward the castle.
"This dark mage doesn't seem simple; everyone be careful of his magical attacks," Liu Yu said.
Looking at the video, Xiaoqing said, "Moreover, there are more dark creatures than before. We need to think of a good way to deal with them."
Just as everyone was considering countermeasures, Xiao Tian made another move. It ran to Ling Yue's side, patted her with its paw, and then pointed to a location in the windmill image. Ling Yue looked in the direction Xiao Tian pointed and saw a black carriage among the dark forces' ranks, emanating a strong dark aura.
Lingyue pondered for a moment and said, "This carriage might be the key. Perhaps some important items of the dark forces or the source of the dark mages' magic are inside. If we can destroy it, we might be able to disrupt their plans."
Liu Yu nodded and said, "That makes sense. But there are definitely heavy guards around the carriage, so it won't be easy for us to get close to it."
Little Tian barked twice, then pulled out a magical artifact from his person. This artifact looked like a small flying machine, with several buttons on it. Little Tian pressed a button with his paw, and the flying machine began to grow larger, large enough to carry a person.
Pigsy's eyes lit up, and he said, "Hey, Little Tian, your magic weapon is pretty good. How about I, Old Pig, ride it and destroy that carriage?"
Xiao Tian shook his head, then looked at Er Gou. He seemed to think that Er Gou was more agile and better suited for the task.
Er Gou understood what Xiao Tian meant and said, "Okay, then I'll give it a try."
The group began to formulate a detailed battle plan. Liu Yu, Zhu Bajie, Xiao Qing, and Fahai were responsible for confronting the dark forces head-on, drawing their attention, and creating an opportunity for Er Gou to approach the carriage. Ling Yue remained in the castle, using her magic and various potions to provide support to the group on the battlefield.
Soon, the forces of darkness arrived before the castle. The dark mage stood at the head of the procession, his eyes flashing an eerie red light, and roared, "You so-called heroes, today is your end! Did you think that gaining some power would stop us?"
Pigsy stepped forward, brandishing his nine-toothed rake, and shouted, "You dark-skinned fellow, stop talking big! You got away last time, but this time it won't be so easy!"
The dark mage sneered and waved his staff, unleashing a bolt of black lightning towards Pigsy. Pigsy quickly used his nine-toothed rake to block, but with a "boom," the black lightning struck the rake, sending sparks flying. The powerful impact forced Pigsy back several steps.
"Bajie, watch out!" Liu Yu shouted. He quickly unleashed the power of his sword, sending several sword energies towards the dark mage in an attempt to disrupt his spellcasting.
Xiaoqing shook her bell, emitting a powerful sound wave that, like an invisible blade, struck the dark creatures. The creatures, hit by the sound wave, cried out in pain.
Fahai clasped his hands together, and a radiant Buddhist light enveloped some dark creatures, slowing their movements.
While everyone was engaged in a fierce battle with the dark forces, Er Gou quietly boarded Xiao Tian's flying vehicle and flew towards the rear of the dark forces.
Xiao Tian wasn't idle either. It ran back and forth at the castle gate, pulling out all sorts of strange and wonderful magical artifacts to help everyone in the battle. It pulled out a small slingshot, which didn't shoot pebbles, but rather small balls that emitted a strange light. When these balls hit the dark creatures, they produced various effects; some would cause the dark creatures to fall into a brief coma, while others would make their bodies heavy and difficult to move.
At this moment, the battlefield was in chaos. The dark mage saw Er Gou flying towards the carriage and realized that the situation was bad, so he quickly sent several dark knights to stop Er Gou.
Er Gou skillfully maneuvered the aircraft, dodging the Dark Knights' attacks in the air. Seizing an opportunity, he dropped several specially made bombs from the aircraft. The bombs exploded among the Dark Knights, sending them flying.
Finally, Er Gou successfully approached the carriage. He saw that the carriage was protected by a layer of dark magic shield. Er Gou took out his dagger and tried to cut through the shield, but the shield was very tough, and the dagger could only leave a shallow mark on it.
Just as Er Gou was pondering how to break the shield, Xiao Tian seemed to sense his predicament. Xiao Tian barked at Ling Yue a few times, then pointed to a button on the aircraft.
Lingyue understood Xiaotian's meaning. She used magic to establish a connection between Xiaotian's magical artifact and the flying vehicle, and then passed the magic spell to Ergou to break the shield.
Following the incantation given by Lingyue, Ergou cast a spell and successfully broke through the shield surrounding the carriage. He quickly planted explosives on the carriage and then piloted his flying vehicle away.
With a deafening roar, the carriage was blasted to pieces. The dark power within the carriage erupted instantly, creating a powerful shockwave that sent all the surrounding dark creatures flying.
The dark mage's face darkened when he saw the carriage destroyed. He roared in fury, unleashing powerful dark magic without restraint. The sky instantly turned pitch black, and countless black tentacles emerged from the darkness, attacking the castle and the people around them.
"Everyone be careful! This dark magic is very powerful!" Liu Yu shouted.
Pigsy brandished his nine-toothed rake, desperately trying to fend off the attacks of the black tentacles. But with so many tentacles, Pigsy gradually began to struggle.
Xiaoqing concentrated, shook the bell, and emitted an even more powerful sound wave. The sound wave collided with the black tentacles, producing a piercing sound.
Fahai unleashed his full power of Buddhist light, which clashed with the dark magic, the light intertwining in mid-air.
Just as everyone was locked in a fierce battle, Xiao Tian suddenly ran to the castle wall. He pulled out a huge horn from his person; the horn looked ancient and mysterious. Xiao Tian blew the horn with all his might, and the sound was melodious and loud, containing a powerful force.
As the horn sounded, the dark magic seemed to be restrained in some way; the black tentacles began to gradually dissipate, and the sky regained its light.
Seeing that his magic had been broken, the dark mage knew that all was lost and hurriedly led the remaining dark forces to retreat.
"Phew, we finally drove them back," Pigsy said, wiping the sweat from his brow.
The crowd gathered around, praising Xiao Tian: "Xiao Tian, we owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for your strange and wonderful magical treasures, we wouldn't have won so easily this time."
Xiao Tian wagged its tail proudly and barked a few times, as if to say, "This is what I should do."
After this battle, everyone in the castle grew to love and rely on Xiaotian even more. Xiaotian became an indispensable member of the castle; its magical artifacts and quirky personality not only brought joy to everyone but also played a vital role in the battle.
However, everyone knew that the forces of darkness would not give up so easily. They had to continue to improve their strength and be prepared to deal with the next attack from the forces of darkness.
In the days that followed, Xiao Tian often trained with the group. It would bring out various magical artifacts, showing everyone how to use them so they could better coordinate in the next battle.
One day, Xiao Tian led everyone to the castle's training ground. He took out a magical artifact that resembled a Rubik's Cube, with different runes engraved on each face of the cube.
Xiao Tian barked at everyone a few times, then began its demonstration. It turned the Rubik's Cube, and the cube emitted beams of light that formed various virtual enemies. These enemies varied in strength and were extremely agile.
"Xiao Tian, is this magic weapon for our training?" Liu Yu asked.
Little Tian barked twice and nodded.
So, everyone began to use this magical artifact for training. Pigsy brandished his nine-toothed rake and charged towards the virtual enemies, the rake swung with great force; Little Green shook her bell, emitting sound waves to attack the virtual enemies; Fahai used his Buddhist light to try to purify the virtual enemies; and Er Gou, with his agile skills, weaved through the virtual enemies, looking for opportunities to attack their weaknesses.
During the training, the group constantly tried new combat techniques and teamwork methods, engaging in fierce battles with virtual enemies.
After a period of training, everyone's strength has improved further. They know that the forces of darkness may strike again at any time, and only by constantly strengthening themselves can they protect this continent.
Meanwhile, in the heart of the dark forces, a dark mage knelt before a massive black throne. Seated on the throne was a dark lord, even taller and more malevolent.
The dark mage lowered his head and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, our attack on the castle has failed. We didn't expect them to obtain some strange powers and magical artifacts, especially that dog; its magical artifacts are extremely troublesome."
The Dark Lord roared in fury, "Useless! They can't even handle such a small matter. Their power is growing too fast; we must find a way to stop them."
The dark mage quickly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I already have a plan. We can use some humans corrupted by dark forces to infiltrate the villages around the castle. Then, we can cause some disasters, frame the people in the castle, and sow discord between them and the villagers. This way, internal conflicts will arise, and we will have the opportunity to defeat them one by one."
The Dark Lord listened, a sinister smile appearing on his face: "Hmph, this plan is good. We'll do it your way. If it fails again, you know what the consequences will be."
The dark mage immediately kowtowed: "Yes, Your Majesty. I will certainly not let you down."
Soon after, strange things began to happen in the villages surrounding the castle. Some villagers fell ill inexplicably, and their illnesses were so severe that they could not be cured. At the same time, rumors began to circulate in the villages that the people in the castle were secretly using dark magic, which was causing these disasters.
The villagers began to harbor suspicion and resentment towards the people in the castle. Some radical villagers even organized themselves and prepared to go to the castle to demand an explanation.
The people in the castle were shocked when they heard the news.
“This is definitely a conspiracy by dark forces; they want to sow discord between us and the villagers,” Liu Yu said.
Xiaoqing said angrily, "These dark forces are too despicable, resorting to such methods. We must find a way to clear up the villagers' misunderstanding and find out who is behind this."
Xiao Tian barked twice, seemingly in agreement. It then pulled out a compass-like magical artifact from its body; the compass needle began to spin rapidly, pointing in a direction from the village.
"Xiao Tian, can your magic weapon help us find the mastermind behind this?" Pigsy asked curiously.
Little Tian barked twice, then ran in the direction the compass needle was pointing. Everyone quickly followed Little Tian to see what it could discover.
Xiao Tian led everyone to a secluded corner of the village. In front of a dilapidated house, the compass needle stopped spinning.
“The mastermind behind this should be in this house,” Lingyue said.
The group cautiously approached the house when suddenly, several men in black rushed out. These men, armed with weapons, attacked them.
"There really was an ambush!" Liu Yu shouted.
The group quickly engaged in battle. Pigsy brandished his nine-toothed rake and fought the man in black in close combat; Green Chakra shook its bell to create sound waves that would disrupt the man's movements; Fahai used his Buddhist light to try and see the man in black's true face; and Er Gou looked for an opportunity to attack the man in black's vital points.
After a fierce battle, the group successfully subdued the men in black. They discovered that these men were humans corrupted by dark forces, and their leader was none other than a young man who had previously disappeared from the village.
"Why did you do this? Why did you try to sow discord between us and the villagers?" Liu Yu questioned the young man.
The young man said painfully, "I didn't want to either. The dark forces captured my family and threatened to kill them if I didn't do what they wanted. I... I had no choice."
Everyone who heard this felt a pang of sadness.
“We’ll help you break free from the corrupting influence of the dark forces first, and then we’ll go together to rescue your family,” Liu Yu said.
Lingyue stepped forward and cast a spell, attempting to dispel the dark power emanating from the young man. With Lingyue's efforts, the dark aura around the young man gradually dissipated, and his eyes regained their clarity.
“Thank you. I know where the dark forces are holding my family. I’ll take you there,” the young man said gratefully.
So, the group followed the young man towards the place where the dark forces were imprisoning his family. They knew this was yet another battle against the dark forces, but they were fearless. They believed that as long as they united, they would surely defeat the dark forces once more and protect the peace and tranquility of this continent. And Xiao Tian, with its strange and wondrous magical artifacts, would fight alongside them, facing new challenges…
