Cultivating Immortals in Two Worlds: From Qing Fu to Primordial Chaos

Chapter 35: Strange Dog
"Brother, you guys are drinking chicken soup?"

Yuan Xiuxiu had already taken out another small bowl, filled it with pure chicken and handed it to him with a gentle expression.

"Yours will be included! But there are some medicinal herbs in it that are very good for replenishing qi and blood, so drink less and save some for dad and mom!"

"Okay! Sister-in-law treats us well!"

Yang Huan immediately smiled.

Yang Huai curled his lips.

"It's good to have food, but it's not good if there's nothing to eat, right?"

He slapped Yang Huan in the face, and Yang Huan grinned slightly.

"How can that be possible? You too, bro!"

He was in a good mood, but his mouth was as if filled with honey, and he only said the nice things.

"This kid..."

Yang Huai smiled a little, then remembered Yang Huan's words and couldn't help asking.

"What happy event did you just mention?"

Yang Huan said as he ate heartily without even raising his head.

"Brother, you don't know, Yang Sanlaizi was bitten by a wild dog! I saw him when he was brought back just now. The blood was all over the ground, and his leg bones were bitten off. He was howling, it was really refreshing to hear. Don't you think it's a good thing?"

He was somewhat gloating.

"What did he do to deserve being bitten by a wild dog? Could it be a giant insect or a leopard?"

Yang Huai was still a little surprised. What kind of wild dog had such great strength that it could bite off Yang San's leg.

"No, it was a wild dog. Heitou saw it with his own eyes. It is said that a few big wild dogs came from outside the village. Yang Sanlaizi and his group wanted to capture them for drinking, but they were bitten by one of the big black dogs. If the group hadn't used knives to chop it, the wild dog would not have let go!"

“How many?”

Yang Huai was slightly surprised.

Yang Huan raised his head and gestured.

"Yes, it's very big and strong, like a calf. I have never seen such a big dog. It's even bigger than the 'Black Tiger' that Yang Sanlai has in the town. The 'Black Tiger' was scared away as soon as he approached it!"

"Black Tiger" is a big black dog with shiny fur. He is also the "accomplice" of Yang Sanlaizi who is rampant in the village. This big black dog is well fed and is often used to scare people.

Yang Huai frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart. Ordinary people couldn't even get enough to eat these days, so where did so many large wild dogs come from? If there were any, they would have been hunted and eaten for meat long ago.

These so-called wild dogs are probably owned by someone.

But no one around the Yang Family Paddock raised such ferocious hunting dogs, and the few hunters did not have such skills.

Yang Huai had some doubts in his heart.

After a while, Yang Huai heard some noise outside the courtyard from afar. He pushed open the gate and saw a middle-aged man dressed in shorts and black and red official uniform leading a group of people rushing out of the village.

The group of people behind him were all holding forks, sticks, and some were carrying fishing nets.

Such a big commotion attracted many people to watch.

When passing by Yang's door, someone shouted.

"Brother Huai, come out and help hunt down the wild dog that's causing trouble in the village. The clan temple will provide food and wine today!"

Hearing this, Yang Huai cursed in his heart.

"You rich man, you are going to take the public property of the Yang clan's ancestral temple again, at the expense of the entire clan..."

After just a thought, Yang Huai stood up and joined them. In fact, Yang Huai was very curious about the sudden appearance of the vicious dogs.

At this moment, someone in front sent a message quickly.

"I found one, come on everyone!"

Upon hearing this, the big man in police uniform shouted.

"Brothers, whoever kills this wild dog will be rewarded with ten dou of grain, a piece of meat, and a new piece of clothing. Come on, surround him!"

As he shouted, the eyes of the young and old in the village lit up. One dou of grain is about ten pounds, and ten dou is nearly a hundred pounds, not to mention meat and new clothes. It was more exciting than a festival, and every strong man rolled up his sleeves.

Yang Huai watched coldly from the sidelines in the crowd. This Yang Daxin was really evil. He made so many people risk their lives for him just by talking, and all they paid for was a little food and meat.

A vicious dog that can bite off leg bones is not so easy to hunt. If you are not careful, it may even kill someone.

Just at this moment, a cry of surprise came from the front.

"What a big one!"

Yang Huai's eyes moved. Relying on his agility, he had squeezed to the front unknowingly. From a distance, he saw a slick and slippery vicious dog on the slope. This vicious dog was different from ordinary hunting dogs. It had strong chest muscles, yellow eyes with a hint of gray. It was standing on the slope, staring at everyone from afar.

He didn't look like a dog, but more like a tiger coming down the mountain. Just the look in his eyes was enough to make people's scalps numb.

Many villagers were frightened for a moment and hesitated.

"What is this?" Yang Huai frowned. He smelled an extremely disgusting stench from the vicious dog, and saw wisps of invisible black air, which was very similar to the breath of the slaughtered demons in the slaughterhouse, but more rotten and smelly.

"Ghost dog? Demon dog, could it be that it has become a spirit, or has it got another owner?"

Yang Huai pondered in his heart, thinking of the unusual and strange people that Yuan Xiuxiu mentioned, and he became a little more alert.

However, a look of human-like thought seemed to emerge in the eyes of the vicious dog.

"Look, it's running away!"

As someone shouted, the vicious dog suddenly disappeared into the path under the slope and ran towards the forest in the distance at a very fast speed.

"Chase! We must eliminate this evil today!"

Yang Da shouted angrily, his energy and blood filling his body, and he rushed towards the hillside like an arrow. The people behind him were immediately encouraged and rushed forward with weapons in hand.

"It's running away, catch up with the beast!"

"Kill it and we'll all have meat tonight!"

A group of villagers swarmed over.

However, Yang Huai felt something was wrong, so he grabbed a strong man beside him and tried to persuade him.

"Wait, Liu Si, don't be impulsive. I think there's something wrong with this vicious dog. It's better not to enter the forest!"

The Liu Si mentioned by Yang Huai is Liu Jingjing's fourth brother, also a burly man. He is taller than Yang Huai, but not much older, just looking older.

"Yang Huai, are you scared?" Liu Si was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, and then patted Yang Huai's shoulder and said with a smile.

"You may be afraid, but I am not. The four of us brothers kill countless animals every year. Why should we be afraid of a big wild dog? Even if it has become a spirit, it can't escape the swords, guns and arrows of so many people today!"

"Let go, don't delay me and my brothers from getting the prize!"

He pointed at several hunters in front who were carrying bows and arrows, then broke free from Yang Huai's hand and rushed into the forest.

Liu Da, who was doing farm work in the back, came over carrying a dung fork. He was big and strong, and had a heroic spirit. Yang Huai also tried to persuade him, but Liu Da was almost the same as Liu Si. They also refused to listen and insisted on entering the forest.

Seeing this, Yang Huai frowned slightly. It was really hard to hear such nice words. Since these people were willing to take the risk, he could only give up the plot of saving people. He had no intention of getting involved in this mess. He could vaguely sense that something was wrong.

"But with so many people, and with a martial artist like Yang Zhuang and many hunters, there shouldn't be any big problems!"

He paused while thinking to himself.

Deep down, he was still quite conservative, and felt that before he had achieved success in his cultivation, it would be better not to attract attention.

He immediately turned around, left the woods, and walked back along the ridge of the field.

……

At this time, deep in the woods, in front of a small mound, the Wild Dog Taoist opened his eyes and saw a group of gray-eyed vicious dogs jumping out from the grass and squatting in front of him. The Wild Dog Taoist stroked the dogs' heads slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Are they all here? Are those 'murderers' among them? That's great!"

"Today I can finally kill my brother's enemy!"

He continued to raise his hands to comfort them, but as the vicious dogs knelt on the ground and wisps of black air merged into his body, his expression suddenly changed and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Oh, there's another one who took the initiative to be alone. That's good. I'll deal with you first!"

He looked at the two figures behind him who were wearing cloaks and holding swords.

"Fourth brother, sixth brother, I'll leave that person to you. Huizi will show you the way. Go quickly and come back quickly!"

Hearing this, the two figures behind him looked at each other, and one of them said in a deep voice.

"Leave it to us!"

At this moment, the Wild Dog Taoist suddenly became distracted and saw a particularly vicious dog approaching. He was stunned for a moment and thought to himself.

"The Dog King said that the man's essence is extremely pure and tastes much better than other warriors. Eating it can greatly replenish one's essence? Is there such a good thing? Then we can't let the fourth and sixth brothers go, so as not to ruin this good thing that is delivered to our doorstep!"

He coughed slightly and then said.

"Forget it, leave that person to me. You can accompany me to play with these treasures and those villagers. You should already know who he is, so just take the opportunity to kill him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly turned into a gray shadow and disappeared into the dark forest in an instant. The dog king followed closely behind him and disappeared into the forest.

At this time, the swordsman holding the Wu Gou sword sneered.

"It seems that my second brother has encountered some good things again, so he left us two behind. How unkind of him! He left it to me, so if there is any benefit, go first!"

Another cloaked swordsman with a thick-backed knife on his back said coldly.

"He's always like this. Never mind. Let's go and take care of those targets first. Big brother must be getting very upset waiting for him now!"

"Alright!"

The two of them immediately jumped and disappeared into the woods.
