Xiaobai's Life Force was draining away, its life counting down to zero. It collapsed into a pool of its own blood, hot tears streaming from the corners of its eyes as it fought desperately to stay awake.
Its uniquely gifted Yin Yang Eyes could no longer muster even a sliver of light.
A House Guardian Dog must shed every last drop of blood for its master, even if it cannot protect them. It must die before they do.
WHIMPER...!
It whimpered out of frustration, shame, and self-blame, for it had failed to complete the task its master had given it.
Lying in the pool of blood, Xiaobai let out two choked whimpers, then fell completely silent.
How could a mere dog hope to stop a Fierce Beast Taotie? In truth, Xiaobai had already done incredibly well, awakening its bloodline's potential to break through to Rank Two. But it was all for naught. Even if it had become a Rank Three Dog Demon, it would have made no difference.
"Xiaobai! Xiaobai, don't die! Please, don't die!"
