The pack of Earth Dogs charged forward, kicking up dust.
Zhou You sat on a dog's back, his gaze fixed ahead.
Now, he had a grand dream.
He wanted to build a demon beast force that belonged entirely to him.
Just imagine, these Earth Dogs don't eat much but work a lot. They can run around, find spiritual items, and even locate spirit stone mines.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
By then, he would achieve fame and success, and marry several beautiful wives.
A perfect life!
Cultivating this group of dogs would surely be much faster than cultivating the Zhou Family, wouldn't it?
Later, dogs would bear dogs, and those dogs would bear more dogs.
This cycle would continue, ceaselessly.
In less than ten years, he would have tens of thousands of dogs under his command. By that time, who would care if he only knew the Sword Stream?
Tell me, seeing so many dogs, who would dare to be hostile towards him?
Do you dare? I ask you, do you dare or not!
Zhou You, immersed in this beautiful dream, completely ignored the seven terrified girls.
It wasn't until the Earth Dogs had left, leaving only a trail of dust, that the blue-dressed girl's lips turned white, and her voice trembled, “Sis… Sister, are we… not dead?”
Heavens, what exactly had they witnessed today?
They had only intended to go out for some training, but how did they encounter such a terrifying event?
A Canine Emperor-level powerhouse who didn't possess a single trace of demonic aura!
Most importantly, there was no record of such a thing whatsoever.
They had done their homework before coming, knowing that the strongest beings in this vicinity were the Dog-Headed Men of the Earth Dog Clan.
The seven sisters couldn't fight individually, but they had a very effective combined formation, which could at least ensure their survival.
Otherwise, why call it training? Training required a bit of tension and excitement, plus a touch of life-and-death crisis.
But they couldn't actually die; if they truly died, the training would become a meal delivery service.
The red-dressed girl lifted her skirt, revealing her fair, jade-like white leg, then pinched it hard, leaving a faint bruise. “No… not dead, still… still alive.”
The orange-clothed girl's face turned pale, “We must report to Master as soon as possible. That seventh-rank Dog-Headed Man might have already broken through to ninth-rank, no, tenth-rank, or even higher. That unique aura, almost indistinguishable from a human, if he infiltrates human territory, he will absolutely be impossible to find again. This is a great disaster, a great disaster is upon us.”
The seven sisters' delicate bodies trembled, their eyes filled with fear, and they turned and fled frantically.
As for Zhou You and the group of Earth Dogs who returned to One-Blade Gorge, they began to divide the sheng yang grass.
There were a total of three hundred sixty-five adult dogs and eighty-eight puppies.
Zhou You only took the most essential part of the root system; it tasted similar to a white radish, but he didn't care. If he could eat demon cores casually, would he care about the taste of this?
Anyway, as long as he didn't eat bigu pills, anything else was fine.
As the spiritual item entered his body, he felt his blood surging and his vital energy completely boiling that night.
Inside One-Blade Gorge, the Earth Dogs barked excitedly, engaging in their reproductive duties.
By late night, when the Earth Dogs quieted down, Zhou You also calmed, suppressing the restlessness within his body.
“Fan Blood Realm Seventh Heaven!”
Zhou You was incredibly excited; this was definitely an unexpected surprise. He hadn't expected the medicinal properties of the sheng yang grass to forcefully activate a portion of the residual medicinal power within his body, allowing him to break through.
At this moment, he increasingly felt that staying in One-Blade Gorge was a wise decision.
Even though he hadn't initially planned to.
But he still praised himself for his wise choice.
Over the next few days, Zhou You summoned Dog Fugui and taught him the first level of the Overlord Heaven Art. In his opinion, this was already sufficient for the Earth Dogs.
Demon beasts are already intelligent, and with Dog Fugui being a sixth-rank, he naturally understood it easily.
After a few more days, it seemed everything began to proceed as planned.
As long as the quantity was sufficient, then one could pick out the best from the average.
Dog Fugui selected ten talented dogs from the group. Although they were all fourth-rank, their speed in cultivating the Overlord Heaven Art was very fast.
These ten dogs would be Focus on training and receive a certain degree of resource allocation.
Dog Fugui was the kind of dog that could infer other things from one point; he wanted to create a personal guard army that could be mobilized by the Canine Emperor at any time!
Zhou You was extremely pleased with this; this performance couldn't have been better.
The busy and happy new path of life for the Earth Dog Clan thus began: making fires for cooking, hunting everywhere, searching for various spiritual items, and also looking for more spirit stones.
Zhou You was also cultivating vigorously. The hope he hadn't seen for a hundred years, yet in a short period, he continuously broke through two minor realms; this feeling was truly amazing.
Approximately ten days later.
Accompanied by a sharp shriek, the Earth Dogs in One-Blade Gorge roared in anger and rushed out of their respective caves.
Zhou You also walked out. Above the cliff, a group of foxes glared angrily.
Dog Fugui took the lead, leaping up, baring his teeth and snarling, completely fearless.
“Dark Shadow Demon Fox?”
Zhou You walked to Dog Fugui's side. There were fifty of them.
Recalling the illusion of the fox from before, Zhou You couldn't help but frown.
But fortunately, besides the leader being a sixth-rank, the others were all fourth-rank.
“Human?”
The leading fox stared intently at Zhou You.
Zhou You nodded, “Is something the matter?”
The Dark Shadow Demon Fox bared its fangs, “How do you explain killing my mate?”
Zhou You looked at Dog Fugui in confusion.
Dog Fugui replied, “sheng yang grass.”
Zhou You suddenly understood, “Survival of the fittest, the strong survive! Now you dare to underestimate our Earth Dog Clan and provoke us. I'd like you to give me a reasonable explanation.”
The pack of Earth Dogs moved, gradually surrounding the group of Dark Shadow Demon Foxes.
The group of foxes roared continuously, nervously shifting their positions.
The pack of Earth Dogs snarled, eyeing them menacingly.
A great battle was imminent, the atmosphere was tense.
The Dark Shadow Demon Fox angrily rebuked, “Where is the Canine Emperor? I want to speak with him personally. Our clan and your Earth Dog Clan have always kept to ourselves. Now you dare to kill my mate, are you not afraid of Ancestor Grandma's wrath, wiping you out?”
Dog Fugui growled, “This is our great Canine Emperor. His command is the highest principle of our clan. If you dare to be insolent today, I will tear you to shreds!”
The Dark Shadow Demon Fox was furious, “I will definitely report this to Ancestor Grandma and make you pay for this blood debt!”
Zhou You was curious, “Ancestor Grandma?”
Dog Fugui explained in a low voice, “An old fox from the Fox Clan, over one thousand three hundred years old, extremely far from here.”
Zhou You rubbed his fingers lightly; it sounded like a troublesome individual. He couldn't help but stare into Dog Fugui's eyes.
Dog Fugui's eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly. “For this matter, our Earth Dog Clan will certainly give you an explanation.”
Before he finished speaking, he leaped up and pounced on the Dark Shadow Demon Fox.
The moment the Dark Shadow Demon Fox's eyes swirled, an Earth Dog rushed out from the side, biting its neck, tearing its fur and splattering blood.
In an instant, all the Earth Dogs charged one after another, immediately overwhelming all the invading Dark Shadow Demon Foxes.
