“Oh, that’s more like it.”
Facing the large white dog’s fierce struggle, Zhou You’s tone was cold, “The aura I sensed was never that stray dog outside, but you, this rather special fellow.”
Bang!
The ground exploded, and the large white dog finally broke free.
Zhou You’s expression remained indifferent.
He seemed to finally understand what that slovenly young man had said.
Indeed, with how miserable things were in the wilderness, the Sects really should take action.
But the problem was, he wasn’t a member of a Sect.
Was he?
He even started to doubt it himself; his Master didn’t seem to mention the Sect’s name.
The large white dog seemed to have just given birth recently, and its aura was very weak. Now, it could only protect its young, staring fixedly at Zhou You.
“You ate her, I eat you, it’s quite reasonable.”
Zhou You’s tone was calm, “I don’t mind that you’ve eaten people.”
The large white dog’s fur bristled all over; it felt that the person in front of it was the true Yao Beast!
Zhou You walked to the window, pulled over a chair, and brushed off the dust from it, “My Cultivation has run into some problems, so I need some rather unique essence Blood to nourish my Bloodline. I think you can definitely help me, right?”
Over the years, Zhou You absorbed everything.
For example, he could directly extract a wisp of the purest essence Blood from a Yao Beast’s body.
Didn’t his Master say?
When his Blood glowed with golden light, his bones contained golden patterns, and his tendons emitted a Dragon’s roar, then he could enter the Tuotai Realm.
Naturally, he started working from that angle.
“I’m talking to you!”
Zhou You suddenly shouted in a stern voice.
The large white dog’s body trembled, and its four legs constantly shook. It was a fifth-grade Yao Beast, but at this moment, it felt like an ordinary wild dog. “He… he… heard… it.”
As a fifth-grade Yao Beast, it naturally understood human speech.
But, it couldn’t speak human words.
Yet at this moment, it was so frightened by Zhou You that it involuntarily spoke human words.
“Name.”
Zhou You spoke coldly.
The large white dog stammered, “Bai… Bai… Bai…”
“Race.”
“Earth… Earth… Earth Dog.”
“Home address.”
“One… One-Blade… Gorge, Thirty… Thirty-six… Cave.”
Facing Zhou You’s questions, the large white dog tried its best to answer.
“Your attitude is quite good.”
Zhou You slowly stood up.
The large white dog trembled, “Spare… spare my life.”
Zhou You said, “I’ll ask you a question. As long as your answer satisfies me, I’ll spare you.”
The large white dog nodded desperately.
Zhou You asked, “You’re very hungry right now. In front of you are me and your children. Who do you choose to eat?”
The large white dog looked up in horror, then raised its front paw and pointed at its offspring on the bed.
“Even a tiger won’t eat its cubs. A heartless fellow like you absolutely cannot be spared.”
Zhou You turned and walked out. The large white dog lowered its head, its head falling to the ground, while a wisp of Blood Qi and a gray current chased after Zhou You.
As Zhou You walked into the courtyard, the house completely collapsed.
Outside, Zhou Chen and Li Wanji had also found their way over, with Zhou Chen even carrying two dog legs.
Zhou You’s gaze swept over Zhou Chen’s stomach; there was a claw mark, but she didn’t seem to be seriously injured.
Zhou Chen’s small face was flushed with excitement; she felt that her growth was truly rapid and that she was completely living up to Second Master’s cultivation.
“Are you okay?”
Zhou You asked.
Zhou Chen shook her head, “No, I just got careless for a moment.”
Zhou You smiled slightly, “Miss Li, do you know where One-Blade Gorge is?”
Li Wanji was surprised, “You want to go to One-Blade Gorge? It’s said that there are many Yao Beasts there, and it’s extremely dangerous. It’s even said that people have seen the Earth Dog Clan there, and even a Zhen Xuan Realm Ninth Heaven expert wouldn’t dare to go.”
Zhou You sighed, “What an honest dog.”
Thinking about it carefully, that large white dog really didn’t lie.
If he had known, he should have given it another chance to answer again.
Li Wanji’s face darkened. Why was he suddenly calling people dogs?
Zhou You said, “How much do you know about the Earth Dog Clan?”
Li Wanji said unhappily, “Legend has it that the Sky Dog and Earth Dog both came from the Demon Wasteland Continent, a place that is not connected to our Kunyuan Continent. Legend has it that the Sky Dog can devour the moon, and the Earth Dog can burrow into the ground.”
Zhou You finally understood. Everything Li Wanji said had to include the words ‘legend has it’.
In short, everything she knew was hearsay, never personally experienced. In fact, it wasn’t even certain if it could be confirmed.
“Burrowing into the ground?”
Zhou You gently rubbed his chin, “That’s a good life-saving trick.”
Li Wanji, on the other hand, said, “Some Bloodline secret techniques possessed by Yao Beasts can only be used by their own Bloodline. Furthermore, even great Yao Beasts cannot teach their unique skills to us of the Human Race. And if humans want to obtain secret techniques, they can only do so through Blood Spirits.”
Zhou You nodded, “I know that.”
A Blood Spirit is a trace of spiritual consciousness stimulated by a Cultivator’s own Bloodline. Its form varies and can be anything.
As long as the Blood Spirit isn’t too bad, these types of Blood Spirits will come with some ‘secret techniques,’ also known as innate secret techniques.
If one Awakens a ‘Dragon,’ then they will roughly possess some of the Dragon Clan’s secret techniques.
Thinking this way, he actually felt that if his Blood Spirit were a wild dog, it might not be bad; what if it came with the ability to burrow into the ground?
But then he thought about how difficult it was for him to even Breakthrough to the Tuotai Realm, and he immediately felt utterly disheartened.
“It’s going to take forever.”
Zhou You sighed deeply. If Cultivation continued to be this difficult in the future, then even if he did Breakthrough to the Tuotai Realm, it would be useless; it might take another hundred years to achieve spiritual communication.
But this emotion didn’t affect him for too long. As soon as the thought passed, he was beaming again.
He had also opened up a new Dao for himself: the more Yao Beast essence Blood he absorbed, the stronger the Blood in his body would become.
He just didn’t believe it. Wasn’t it just about his Blood glowing golden?
Even if he was the stupidest and most foolish, he should at least get some benefits, right?
Li Wanji was horrified, “You’re not really going, are you?”
Zhou You nodded, “Of course. As a man, if I say I’m going, I’m going.”
Li Wanji’s face instantly turned pale, “Do you want to die that badly?”
Zhou You looked at Li Wanji in confusion, “This is called tempering. Why does it sound so unpleasant when it comes out of your mouth?”
Suddenly, all three looked up simultaneously.
They saw a figure flying rapidly through the air.
Li Wanji immediately exclaimed, “A strong practitioner of the Yin Yang Realm!”
What Zhou You didn’t know was that only strong practitioners above the Yin Yang Realm could fly in the air. “Fly… He can fly! Damn it, I can’t even fly, but he can!”
Zhou Chen’s expression was excited, “When can I be like him…”
Boom!
A strong wind rose, and an incredibly huge golden eagle swooped down, swallowing the strong practitioner flying in the air in one gulp.
“…Strong.”
Zhou Chen’s last word was uttered with difficulty, only somewhat indistinct.
Li Wanji and Zhou You were completely stunned.
Boom!
A strong wind swept through the village, and the trees swayed.
