When Liu Guanfeng returned to the cave, he felt a bit hungry, so he took out a lot of meat from the Cosmic Bag and simply marinated it. However, he didn't prepare any barbecue forks, so he had to find some Iron Spears and a sword forged by the Black Tortoise from the Cosmic Bag and used these weapons to skewer the prepared meat into a giant kebab.
If anyone outside knew about this action, there would definitely be people who would want to die. After all, these were weapons forged by the Black Tortoise; last time, just one Steel Blade fetched an astronomical price. This time, using such expensive weapons for BBQ would surely shock many.
After preparing everything, Liu Guanfeng carried the giant kebab out of the cave. Since there was no vegetation here, making a campfire with wood was out of the question. Fortunately, there was a natural flame here, which saved Liu Guanfeng from having to start a fire himself, although the flames were quite intense.
Liu Guanfeng went directly to the Magma River outside the rocky area and placed the kebab on the ground. He then moved some small stones and started grilling the meat over the magma.
Fortunately, Liu Guanfeng was very sensitive to fire, so grilling the meat over the high-temperature magma didn’t burn it. However, once the meat was cooked, problems arose.
At this point, over a hundred Hellhounds had gathered around Liu Guanfeng. The ones at the front were all small Hellhounds, each about the size of a Pekingese. These Hellhounds were attracted by the smell of grilled meat; after all, they hadn't eaten such fresh meat in a long time. Even the prey caught from the Underworld lacked moisture and flavor compared to Liu Guanfeng's meat. Moreover, what they had been eating was raw and didn’t taste as good as grilled.
After about half an hour of focusing on grilling, Liu Guanfeng finished cooking all the meat. When he turned around, he was startled but quickly understood upon seeing the expressions of the small dogs. The reason Liu Guanfeng had prepared so much meat was also to treat the elders among the Hellhounds, but instead of seeing them, he found so many little dogs.
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly at the dozens of small dogs in front of him: "Do you want to eat? If you want to eat, follow me."
All the Hellhounds parted to make way for Liu Guanfeng. As he walked past them, he could clearly feel them sniffing eagerly.
Although Liu Guanfeng was generous, he didn’t dare to be too extravagant here. The amount of prepared meat was sufficient for now, but with five or six thousand Hellhounds around, even that wouldn’t be enough. However, since these little dogs had limited appetites, he could still afford to feed them.
So Liu Guanfeng walked ahead while all the Hellhounds followed him. However, when Liu Guanfeng entered the cave, the adult Hellhounds dispersed voluntarily while the smaller ones unceremoniously entered the cave with him.
When Liu Guanfeng brought a group of little dogs into the cave, Little Black was also startled: "Xiaofeng, how come there are so many little Little Guys?"
Liu Guanfeng shook the kebab in his hand: "These things attracted them." After saying that, he tossed a piece of grilled meat to Little Black, who immediately dragged it over to a nearby rock and started enjoying it.
Meanwhile, Liu Guanfeng took out a dagger and began slicing pieces off the kebab before tossing them to the little dogs. The small Hellhounds were all Sixth Tier magical beasts and had some intelligence; despite their numbers being large, they still ate in an orderly manner.
Liu Guanfeng enjoyed feeding the little dogs while also feeding himself. Once all his grilled meat was gone, he felt full as well. Then Liu Guanfeng took out a water jug from his Cosmic Bag; this water was something those little Little Guys had never tasted before. All the little dogs eagerly drank as if it were nectar.
Soon enough, they drank every last drop from the jug. However, instead of leaving right away, these little dogs surrounded Liu Guanfeng and began playing and frolicking around him while he watched them happily.
Thus, every day for three days straight, Liu Guanfeng would feed these little dogs and give them water as well. XP hadn’t appeared for three consecutive days either; when asked about it, an elder said they weren’t sure because only the clan leader could receive such inheritance. The last clan leader had gone in for three days before coming out.
With no choice but to continue feeding the little dogs while waiting patiently, Liu Guanfeng was glad that he had brought enough food and fresh water; otherwise, he would easily be eaten poor by those little Little Guys.
Since this is the Underworld, time does not pass very noticeably. However, Liu Guanfeng's biological clock told him that about seven days had passed. That night, after Liu Guanfeng had just fed the greedy little Little Guys, he heard a commotion from afar caused by Hellhounds. So, Liu Guanfeng and Little Black stepped out of the cave. This time, he saw three enormous heads of xp slowly emerging from the largest cave, while the former clan leader and the elders were waiting at the entrance.
As soon as xp came out, they all surrounded it, asking many questions. However, xp only said one thing to the clan leaders and elders: "I really want to see my master right now. I will talk to you later." After saying that, xp pounced on Liu Guanfeng and transformed into its cutest little form.
As soon as xp reached Liu Guanfeng's arms, it said, "Master, I am hungry. I haven't eaten anything for several days."
After being away for a few days, Liu Guanfeng missed xp very much, so he personally went outside to roast a large piece of meat for xp to enjoy a hearty meal. After eating, xp drank some clean water and fell asleep.
Liu Guanfeng could sense that xp's strength had significantly increased since emerging from the giant rock. However, he did not ask about it; he knew that xp would tell him when the time was right. So after xp fell asleep, Liu Guanfeng stayed beside it with Little Black, waiting for it to wake up.
Once xp fell asleep, a large aura composed of gold, earth, and fire elements formed around it like when it advanced before; however, this time the aura was much smaller.
Liu Guanfeng was very happy to see xp like this. Although it could not improve further, the energy gathering at Headquarters allowed its strength to increase somewhat.
Seeing xp's condition, Liu Guanfeng went outside to inform the Former Clan Leader and the elders not to disturb xp. He then continued to guard beside xp with Little Black just in case.
xp slept for three consecutive days. As the surrounding aura gradually faded, Liu Guanfeng knew that xp was about to wake up. He asked Little Black to keep an eye on xp while he went out to prepare food.
After preparing the roasted meat, Liu Guanfeng returned to the cave. At this point, the aura around xp had become so faint that its color was barely discernible. Once Liu Guanfeng entered the cave and inserted the large skewer into the ground, xp's eyes suddenly opened. Then it said, "Master is still so caring for me."
Soon after, both Liu Guanfeng and the two beasts finished dinner. Afterward, xp summoned all the elders and the Former Patriarch. When all the Hellhounds gathered in the cave, there was enough space inside.
Once all the Hellhounds were present, xp stood on top of a rock: "Dear elders of our clan, I White Pup would like to thank you all for taking care of my parents over these years. During these past few days, I have accepted our clan's inheritance and learned many things. I have also awakened our clan's divine bloodline and discovered how to lift the Forbidden Spell. These are my responsibilities; I know what I need to do now that I am the clan leader. Shouldn't I also have some privileges?"
"Of course! The clan leader must have privileges," said the Former Patriarch.
"Then it's settled. Now all elders must follow my orders and retrieve a piece of Hellfire Heartstone to give to my master so that my master can complete his task."
"Yes, Clan Leader." The Former Clan Leader left and returned shortly after with a red crystal in its mouth. When Liu Guanfeng took it and examined it closely,
the entire crystal was heart-shaped, with magma-like red liquid flowing inside.
"This is Hellfire Heartstone?"
"Yes, this is Hellfire Heartstone, esteemed guest."
"Master, since you have obtained Hellfire Heartstone now, you should go out with Little Black. Staying here too long will influence your health," xp looked at Liu Guanfeng with reluctance.
"Xp, why did you let me go with Little Black? What about you?"
"Master, I am now the leader of this place. It is my duty to lead my people in eliminating the Black Dragon and to help our people break through the bloodline Forbidden Spell."
"Xp, can you tell me what you really intend to do?"
"I'm sorry, my Master. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay by your side in the future. Big Brother, please take care of my Master for me."
"Xp, what exactly happened? We've been together for so long; don't you understand me? Whatever it is, I will help you. Just say it out loud, and we can figure it out together."
"Forget it, Master. There’s no other way to think of. This might just be my fate."
After hearing xp's words, Liu Guanfeng fixed his gaze: "Xp, if you call me Master, it means you still acknowledge that you are my Mount. You know what kind of person I am better than anyone else. I don’t want to waste words; I just want to hear about your Hellhound race and what you meant earlier. If there’s a problem, we’ll solve it together. Remember, I am your Master. I need to know about your matters, understand?"
After saying this, Liu Guanfeng stared at xp, while xp looked troubled at Liu Guanfeng. Little Black then said to xp: "Xp, we’ve been together for quite some time now. You should understand Xiaofeng better than I do. Although Xiaofeng appears easygoing on the surface, he takes things very seriously—especially when it comes to friends. And even though you are his Mount, he has always treated you as a friend. If you don’t want to upset Xiaofeng, you should speak up. Whatever the issue is, we can tackle it together; many hands make light work—that’s something I learned when I was young."
Xp looked up at Little Black, who gave him a determined look. Then xp turned his gaze to the elders around him, and the Former Patriarch had automatically become an elder after xp became the leader. Looking at his people, xp spoke: "Elders of the clan, you are all respected members of our tribe. This person is my Master; to me, none of you are outsiders. Moreover, my Master may help us come up with some solutions, so I have decided to share our clan's matters with him here. I wonder if any of you have any objections?"
The Former Patriarch replied to xp: "Leader, he is your Master and thus our entire clan's Master; he is certainly not an outsider. So there’s no need for you to hold back on anything. Just speak freely; we won’t have any objections."
Liu Guanfeng clasped his fists towards the Former Patriarch: "Thank you, elders. Xp, you can speak now."
