Zhou Chen leaped onto the wall and took in the open area of ​​the temple.

Inside the courtyard, a bronze incense burner sits in the center, filled with burnt incense sticks.

Further ahead is the main hall, upon which is written a rather unrefined couplet.

"This is no ordinary dog ​​that can bark at the sun; it is a divine beast that can devour the moon."

Zhou Chen carefully pondered the meaning of the couplet, but couldn't recall any familiar deity that was transformed from a dog.

The interior of the main hall was pitch black, without a single ray of light, and nothing could be seen at all.

"Woof woof woof..."

Suddenly, the sound of dogs barking came from inside the main hall, exactly the same as what Zhou Chen heard outside the temple.

A long, thin dog, over three feet long and with gray-white fur, burst out from the crowd. A string of small, red-gold bells hung around its neck, making a clear, melodious sound as it ran and jumped.

Whenever the bell rings, a circle of clear light ripples out, as if cleansing away any evil influences.

The grey and white dog's crimson eyes were touched by the moonlight, and a few traces of confusion flashed across them before they were covered by crimson again. It barked wildly at Zhou Chen on the wall.

"I've been discovered," Zhou Chen murmured, about to retreat.

I don't know where this dog demon came from, and there are no relics to be found in the temple, so there's no need to confront it.

Instead of using your skills to subdue dog demons, it would be better to search for relics elsewhere.

However, Zhou Chen wanted to leave, but the host here was unwilling.

The large gray and white dog moved its long limbs up and down, propelling its entire body toward Zhou Chen.

In the blink of an eye, they were already in front of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen's pupils suddenly contracted. His current skill in Zhenyue Zhuang was still shallow, far from being able to perform it at will on the top of the wall.

Left with no other choice, Zhou Chen sidestepped half a body and jumped into the courtyard.

The gray and white dog was much faster than me, so rather than running away, I should kill it in this safe place.

The large gray-white dog, its eyes bloodshot, stared at Zhou Chen and growled softly.

This time, it didn't pounce immediately. Instead, it tilted its head, its crimson eyes fixed on Zhou Chen, and the muscles in its hind legs twitched and tensed, ready to exert force at any moment.

Zhou Chen took a breath, stepped forward half a step with his left foot, stepped back with his right foot, and bent his knee slightly.

In an instant, the big dog moved without warning.

A gray shadow flashed and was already in front of him, a foul stench assaulting his senses.

Zhou Chen's body swayed and he reached out to try to wrestle with the big dog.

Sharp dog claws grazed his right shoulder, and the clothes he had embodied in the old world were suddenly torn apart.

pain!

Three bloody gashes were slashed across his right shoulder by sharp claws, and a deep, bone-chilling pain shot through him, as if someone had slashed his soul three times.

At the same time, Zhou Chen struck the soft spot on the dog's belly with his palm.

The large dog was sent flying, and a sensation that was both illusory and solid like leather washed over it.

Before Zhou Chen could even relieve the pain in his shoulder, the second pounce followed.

The large gray and white dog pressed its entire body against Zhou Chen, its long, sharp canine teeth biting straight at his neck.

Zhou Chen leaned back and used both hands to press against the dog's chin.

The stench of hot air hit his face, and sharp canine teeth were no more than half a foot from his throat.

"We can't force it."

Zhou Chen suddenly remembered the foundation of the Zhenyue Zhuang beginner level, the Rooting Realm. He relaxed his waist and hips, and the huge force of the big dog's pounce sank down his spine and entered the earth through his legs.

The bluestone bricks beneath my feet trembled slightly.

Zhou Chen's feet were firmly planted on the ground, and with a sudden twist of his waist, he flung the big dog to the side.

boom!

The big dog crashed into the temple wall with a loud bang.

At the same time, the small red-gold bell around its neck jingled.

As the moonlight shone, a look of confusion appeared in the big dog's eyes, and its turning motion suddenly froze.

"Chance!"

Zhou Chen saw the big dog dazed by the small red-gold bell around its neck, its body sinking down before it pushed off the ground.

The bluestone bricks cracked, and the force of the recoil exploded from his heels, sending Zhou Chen flying to the side of the big dog.

Sink your waist, sit on your hips, and throw a punch!

He channeled all his strength, having mastered the art of skin-training, into a single punch, which slammed into the dog's throat.

The dull sound of bones cracking echoed through the air.

The big dog was hit hard, its eyes glowing red, staring at Zhou Chen but unable to utter a sound.

"Is he/she dead?"

Zhou Chen stood there, breathing heavily, his right shoulder burning with pain.

This was his first injury in the old world, and the pain he felt was far more direct and profound than any physical pain.

He crouched down and reached for the small, reddish-gold bell around the dog's neck.

If the bell hadn't affected the big dog's mind, the outcome of this deadly fight would still be uncertain.

As soon as the Crimson Gold Bell was obtained, faint light appeared on the gray-white dog's corpse. Strands of gray energy peeled away like the outer shell, revealing the dog's original appearance.

Zhou Chen looked at it and saw that the big dog's fur was pure white as snow, clean and spotless, as noble as a Taoist guardian beast.

In the next instant, the snow-white form transformed into specks of light that merged into the crimson-gold bell.

[Divine Relic: The Remnant Will of a Person Possessing Great Divine Power]

[Supernatural Power Name: Spirit Tracking (Inherited from the Celestial Hound)]

[Function: Howling Sky Spirit Tracks, allows demons and monsters from the Nine Netherworlds to appear out of nowhere and disappear into the void, and can also be used to track enemies across vast distances.]

[Has it been infused with supernatural powers?]

"A relic of supernatural power?"

"The Celestial Hound?"

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Chen's mind.

In his previous life, the Howling Celestial Dog was the well-known pet of Erlang Shen, so how could its name still exist in this old world?

Although this big dog was incredibly fierce to him, it was insignificant compared to the mythical Howling Celestial Dog.

Moreover, if the Celestial Hound is here, where is Erlang Shen?

"Integrate with supernatural powers."

In the instant of the decision, the crimson-gold bell transformed into rainbow light and merged into Zhou Chen's body.

Two streams of intense heat rushed into his eyes, causing two lines of clear tears to stream down Zhou Chen's face.

He kept sneezing, and the air in the old world, which was originally colorless and odorless, was now like a spilled bottle of mixed flavors, with all sorts of smells rushing in.

Decay, cold, deathly still, and barely visible light.

[Supernatural Ability: Spirit Tracking (Beginner, 10%)]

[Tracking technique and supernatural power have been detected and fusion is complete.]

After a while, information popped up on the panel. Zhou Chen's eyes dimmed, and his senses returned to normal.

"A kind of exploratory supernatural power?"

Zhou Chen wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood there for a while to calm down before he could digest most of the impact of the supernatural power he had just received.

He tried to use his telepathic abilities as easily as moving his own limbs.

Various atmospheres surged in again, and Zhou Chen frowned as he looked towards the light that had been suppressed by the immense negative aura, leaving only a few specks.

A golden light appeared before his eyes, and the luminous aura he could smell was inside the main hall of the temple in front of him.

A white ball of light was emitting a faint glow, but if you moved any further away, it would revert to its state before the spiritual trace was activated, and you could not investigate it.

"Able to detect relics within a hundred meters!" Zhou Chen's heart pounded.

Most importantly, although the eyes can only detect the location of relics within a hundred meters after activating the spirit tracking, the light that can be smelled by the nose extends far beyond a hundred meters.

In this way, he wouldn't be wandering around the world like a headless fly, relying on luck to find relics.

Instead, they are targeted and can directly locate the relics.

Zhou Chen was overjoyed and quickly strode towards the main hall.

Judging from the color, the items in the main hall in front should be the most common relics from breaking through realms.
