Another two days of peace and quiet passed.
Thanks to the eggs provided by Mountain Chicken King, there was no longer any worry about food.
However, eating too many boiled eggs could be unpleasant.
Boiled eggs were the most accessible food for longevity and maintaining a youthful appearance.
Eating more boiled eggs could delay aging.
Therefore, for that reason alone, Zhou You still chose to eat them.
Boom!
One-Blade Gorge trembled.
An Aura was transforming, gradually becoming stronger.
Feeling the commotion, Zhou You slowly walked out of the Dog Hole and looked at the Dog Hole closest to him.
That was where Dog Fugui stayed.
It seemed to be in the midst of a Breakthrough, with low growls emanating from within the Dog Hole.
The other Earth Dogs, sensing the commotion, gathered nearby, their eyes filled with hope.
Any Race needed to understand one principle: the more strong individuals born within their own Race, the more likely they, as members of that same Race, would be able to preserve their lives.
This was a guarantee!
It was a core guarantee that an outsider could never provide.
No matter how kind a fox was to a chicken, the chicken could not deeply trust it; one careless moment and the fox might use the chicken to make chicken soup.
This process lasted for a long time.
By dusk, the Aura gradually receded.
"Done?"
Zhou You leaned against the wall, watching silently, feeling that his Medicinal Pills had not been wasted.
After all, when out and about, an extra Dog meant an extra path.
Boom!
Qi surged, and Dog Fugui took a step out, his Aura powerful.
A Seventh-Grade Yao Beast!
The Earth Dogs, under this pressure, tucked their tails between their legs.
This was the pressure brought by a strong individual.
Whether Human Race or Yao Race, strength was often stratified.
For example, in One-Blade Gorge, there was previously one Seventh-Grade Earth Dog and one Sixth-Grade Earth Dog, and then almost entirely Fourth-Grade and Third-Grade ones.
"Thank you, Canine Emperor Sir."
Dog Fugui lowered his head; he knew very well where his strength came from.
Zhou You looked at Dog Fugui, and after a while, he said, "How about you revert to your previous appearance?"
He truly found it ugly.
Including the previous Dog-Headed Man.
Even if it could stand like a Human, its body was still that of a Dog, and its head was also a Dog's head.
At most, it just looked like a Human.
Dog Fugui's body trembled, his bones writhed, and he quickly reverted to his previous appearance, as large as half a buffalo.
His eyes were chilling, quite imposing.
Zhou You averted his gaze; the only thing he was worried about had not happened.
No matter what Dog Fugui claimed, he was still a Yao Beast.
The nature of a Yao Beast was to be bloodthirsty; if it wanted to seize power, it would directly initiate a challenge.
But he did not feel any hostility from Dog Fugui. This also indicated that Dog Fugui harbored no ill intentions and would not ambush him.
"The plan can begin."
Zhou You mused.
Dog Fugui settled beside Zhou You, wagging his tail and lying on the ground. "I can take Canine Emperor Sir there anytime."
"No time like the present, let's go tomorrow."
Zhou You pondered.
Dog Fugui thought to himself, 'Isn't that still choosing a day? I didn't see you 'crash' into it.'
Zhou You's eyes flickered; this was going to the territory of a stronger Earth Dog.
His identity was useful here, but if it were exposed there, he would surely die.
The dignified Earth Dog Clan would never recognize him, a Human Race Dog King.
Therefore, he still needed to think about this matter very carefully.
No matter how trustworthy Dog Fugui was, if an accident occurred, he would be completely powerless.
A proper plan, and he needed to leave himself enough retreat routes.
He didn't want to fail to learn the Earth Evasion Technique and end up being packaged as food.
Don't just look at these Sixth-Grade and above Yao Beasts calling themselves kings; in reality, they are just the leading Yao Beasts of a branch, similar to a Human Race family head or commander.
One must know that among Yao Beasts, Ninth-Grade was the true Great Yao!
In other words, if there was a Great Yao in that place, his Sword Stream wouldn't be able to save him.
"The Yao Race has indeed become incredibly strong in recent years, completely suppressing the Human Race."
Zhou You sighed inwardly, feeling helpless about it, with no better solution.
He couldn't help but think of the Blood Shadow Wolf King in Xijue City; were the things he said accurate?
Humans were not allowed to enter cities in newly fallen territories.
This was said to be an agreement between the Yao Race and the Human Race.
If those words were true, then the next time the Yao Race attacked should be soon.
"Right, let me ask you a question."
Zhou You looked at Dog Fugui, "Do we Yao Race receive any specific orders each time we attack the Human Race? Or is it according to a specific time?"
Dog Fugui replied, "Specific orders are received at specific times. Just for our small area, the last order came from a Great Yao of the Blood Shadow Wolf Clan."
Zhou You was surprised, "There's a Great Yao among the Blood Shadow Wolves?"
Dog Fugui said, "It's obvious, isn't it? Many group-living Yao Races have Great Yao overseeing them. Although the individual strength of group-living Yao Races can't compare to those solitary Yao Beasts, they win in numbers. When used for attacking and depleting the Human Race's combat power, our group-living Yao Races have a huge advantage. Otherwise, even an Eighth-Grade Bear Yao could do very little. It was also because the Blood Shadow Wolves led the charge last time that all the people in that city became food for the Blood Shadow Wolves. If there are no surprises, next time it should be our Earth Dog Clan leading the charge, and the conquered city will be our food; we can enjoy it as much as we like."
Zhou You frowned slightly; in fact, if he hadn't been so slow to react, he should have asked Dog Fugui this question long ago. "So, regarding the time?"
Dog Fugui said, "About seven months."
Zhou You fell silent.
Dog Fugui hesitated, "Canine Emperor Sir, I have something I don't know how to say."
Zhou You smiled, "Just say it."
Dog Fugui said, "I know you are Human Race, and the Yao Beasts in this area also know you are Human Race. But now the Human Race is weak and fragmented; will you still return to the Human Race in the future?"
Zhou You was silent again, silently looking up at the sky.
Dog Fugui whispered, "The internal struggles of the Human Race are far more severe than ours in the Yao Race. Internal hunting within the Yao Race, after all, still occurs between different Races."
Yao Race was just a general term.
Dog Fugui continued, "If you are willing to stay in the Yao Race forever, as long as you fight hard against the enemy, your status within the entire Yao Race will rise steadily. By then, you can eat whatever you want and have absolute mating rights. Just like the Dragon Clan, high above all. As long as the Dragon Clan is willing, no matter if it's the Turtle Clan, Tiger Clan, Phoenix Clan, etc., any Race, they have absolute mating rights. That's why there's the saying of 'Dragon giving birth to nine sons,' and such preferential treatment is certainly not available to your Human Race."
Zhou You chuckled, "If I leave in the future, what will you do?"
Dog Fugui lowered his head, "I will forever regard you as King, willing to be slain by you, and will never resist."
