第一千六百一十六章 捉宝

Lin Xuan didn't rush to act immediately.

Provoking the enemy by revealing his hand would be foolish. He planned to wait until the little pup entered the center of the array before making a move.

Lin Xuan's face was grave as he continued to suppress his qi with his divine vision technique.

After getting off the shore, the dog didn't rush towards Coral Island but cautiously moved around its edges.

It hopped about for a moment and then barked twice. The little pup raised its head, and an invisible entity could be seen rushing out.

Spiritual sense manifestation!

Lin Xuan was greatly surprised. Being able to condense his spiritual sense to such an extent was almost beyond him, comparable only to the old monster of Profound Yin Realm.

Fortunately, he had one more trick up his sleeve—using a red cloth to cover himself. Otherwise, it was uncertain whether he could remain undetected by the other party.

The thousand-year-old fire coral excelled in Fire遁 techniques.

Before entering the array, capturing it would be almost impossible.

Lin Xuan felt relieved. If he had missed this little pup, he would definitely regret it.

Facing the dog's spiritual sense detection, Lin Xuan quickly held his breath and withdrew his divine vision technique. Any fluctuation of qi might be detected.

This search took as long as a meal. Lin Xuan's efforts paid off; the dog didn't notice anything amiss, but it remained vigilant, sniffing its nose vigorously...

Lin Xuan was speechless.

The little pup’s alertness far exceeded his expectations.

But could this transformation into a dog truly grant it such enhanced olfactory senses?

Lin Xuan wasn’t sure about that. However, based on the pup's actions, there was indeed some possibility.

Fortunately, the red cloth not only shielded spiritual sense but also concealed body temperature and scent. So Lin Xuan’s surprise didn't turn to worry.

Another fifteen minutes passed before the dog found nothing amiss and happily wagged its tail, vanishing in a flash of red light.

Lin Xuan was alarmed. Could it be that at this point, he had still been discovered?

He hurriedly tried to release his spiritual sense but stopped immediately as spatial fluctuations appeared. The dog reappeared, not far from him, standing before the small mountain.

The dog landed on the peak and sniffed its nose, but this time, it wasn’t checking for ambushes; instead, it began to eat.

An incredible scene unfolded. A strong wind swept across the island, and a faint pinkish-red mist appeared in his vision, which the dog ingested.

On its face, there was an expression of deep satisfaction, almost human-like, as if a wine lover had found a fine vintage.

Clearly, this was the pup’s purpose for coming to Coral Island. Now was the perfect time to capture it.

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a buzzing sound echoed as dozens of sword qi shot out like lightning, aiming at the dog.

The sudden change scared the little pup, causing it to fall to the ground in a doggy-style mud bath. However, the pup’s reaction was swift; with a flash of red light, it vanished from sight.

Fire遁!

And it had reached such an advanced level that even his Nine Heaven Micro-step seemed inferior. But Lin Xuan wasn’t anxious. The pup was now ensnared in his trap and wouldn't be able to escape.

Indeed, the dog staggered to the edge of the island but was repelled by a blue light barrier. The entire island was enveloped by the Four Symbols Azure Dragon Array.

The dog crashed into it, only to be bounced back.

But the pup persisted, shaking its dazed head and charging forward with red light blazing around it like a meteor.

Boom!

A loud sound echoed as the dog was thrown to the ground, dazed and drooling. Golden stars danced in its eyes; it looked incredibly cute.

Lin Xuan smiled without speaking. This little pup wouldn't give up until it had tasted some pain.

In the next moment, the dog’s body emitted a burst of spiritual light, barking loudly as spatial fluctuations occurred. It split into seven, each opening their mouths to shoot out arm-thick beams towards Lin Xuan.

Transformation technique?

No, this shouldn’t be such an advanced divine vision skill.

Lin Xuan's combat experience was rich; he was surprised but quickly realized what was happening. Without hesitation, he focused his qi into his eyes.

His eyes glowed with a rainbow light, and six of the dogs and beams vanished, leaving only one real one.

Illusion!

And it was quite advanced. If not for his expertise in spiritual vision techniques, he would have been deceived.

Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile as he grew more interested in this dog. He didn’t dodge but took a step to the left, vanishing from sight.

Spatial fluctuations occurred near the dog, and Lin Xuan appeared there.

"Ao!"

This time, the dog seemed truly enraged, lifting its head like a wolf. Spiritual light flashed, revealing an enormous dog head, measuring over ten feet from top to bottom, appearing incredibly formidable.

It opened its blood-red maw as if it was about to emit some kind of energy wave. However, Lin Xuan’s actions were even quicker; the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring flew out and flashed, creating hundreds of palm-sized wind blades that pierced the giant dog's head. The pup might have had some techniques, but they were insignificant compared to his own.

The sound of crunching echoed as Lin Xuan’s right hand glowed brightly, extending towards the dog.

Seeing it about to be caught, the dog showed a cunning expression and exploded into a ball of fire. The terrifying heat turned the air white, almost melting space itself.

Lin Xuan realized that the pup had intentionally revealed its trap to lure him in. A smile grew on his lips as he understood.

P.S.: Darn, I just got another phone call; there's still something else. Sorry for today’s update. I owe 1000 words and will make it up tomorrow with 2000. Please support me by giving recommendation votes.
