Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 93 It's time to trust people too.
"Tell me, what's your method to make it obey?"

The dog chuckled slyly twice, then spoke in a seductive voice into Yun Ce's head: "I just checked and found that this dog's pituitary gland is abnormally developed... Hehe, you know, the growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland is the driving force for animal growth."

Now, strangely enough, this dog's body can not only grow larger, but also gradually shrink. So, I want to observe it long-term and control its pituitary gland to secrete growth hormone, so that..."

"Remove its pituitary gland completely, leaving no trace."

Before Gouzi could finish speaking, Yun Ce decisively issued the order.

"You beast—the pituitary gland not only secretes growth hormone, but also prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, gonadotropins, adrenocorticotropic hormone, melanocyte-stimulating hormone, antidiuretic hormone, and oxytocin... If you cut it off, this dog will basically have no hope."

"This is a dog-skin monster. Believe me, this guy is incredibly strong, and you can't apply the growth patterns of ordinary animals to it."

Cut it off.

"It will definitely hate you to death."

Is there a way to erase its memory?

"According to your moral standards, you would also like to cut off this guy's hippocampus, right?"

"Cut it off! Remember to clean it up thoroughly."

"In that case, you'll only get a stupid dog."

Yun Ce sneered, "What's the point of a dog being so smart?"

Under Yun Ce's watchful gaze, several more silver threads burrowed into the dog's mouth. Moments later, the dog began to roll around on the ground frantically, its mouth sometimes as large as a cave and sometimes as small and exquisite.

Yun Ce paid no attention to these changes. He kept staring at the dog's eyes until the intelligent light in them gradually faded and the eyes became clear. Only then did Yun Ce pick up the dog and put the leftover jerky to its mouth. The dog opened its mouth, took a bite, and chewed the jerky in Yun Ce's arms, looking very satisfied.

The dog waved the silver thread in front of Yun Ce: "Look carefully, this is the pituitary gland and hippocampus that were removed according to your request, and it has been cleaned very thoroughly."

Having said that, he shook the silver thread and threw the things he had just cut off far away.

Just then, Steward Qiu returned with his men carrying an enormous dog skin, and everyone in the carriage looked over.

Steward Qiu beamed and told everyone he met, "My head steward has killed Dogskin King."

Despite the somewhat unsettling looks those people gave Yun Ce, Yun Ce waved his hand, signaling the convoy to continue on its way.

On the way, we still encountered many dogs, but these dogs were no longer as orderly as an army. They were scattered in groups, and some groups were even tearing at each other, showing a complete lack of organization.

Yun Ce sat on the back of a chestnut horse, holding a beautiful black and white dog in his arms. This dog was very strange. Whenever Yun Ce pinched its tail, its mouth would suddenly widen, and then two rows of white teeth and two guillotines would quickly close.

Yun Ce spent a day and a night testing it on the road before figuring out the exact way to use this thing. He could leave it with E Ji, that silly girl who doesn't have the ability to protect herself. With this dog, it can bite through metal when the enemy is caught off guard.

Upon returning to the Royal Hunting Grounds, Yun Ce did not interfere much with the arrangements for those who had come to seek refuge. He simply opened the gates of the hunting palace, entrusted everything to the two men and women chosen by Lao Cao and the others, and then hurriedly left.

Honestly, entrusting one's family to someone requires a tremendous amount of determination. Yun Ce believed that Lao Cao and the others must have been desperate to entrust their family to him so easily.

At the same time, he also believed that Lao Cao and his group in Chuyun City must be feeling extremely anxious, with all sorts of good and bad speculations running through their minds like a carousel.

At this time, Yun Ce would naturally not be too close to those family members. If even a bad rumor or a misunderstanding were to arise, Yun Ce's efforts to do favors would be in vain.

Back at their residence outside the hunting palace, Yun Ce's courtyard was bustling with activity. E Ji and An Ji, along with a group of people, were unloading goods from a carriage.

If they found something they liked, they would have Feng An and Liang Kun, along with Steward Qiu and his group, move it into the courtyard. If they found something they didn't like, they would have Steward Qiu and his group take it to the hunting camp to distribute to everyone.

Seeing that Eji and the others were extremely busy, Yun Ce sat on the threshold with a smile, watching them busily working.

Unable to bear Eji's seductive glances, he turned and went to Pengzeng's room to recuperate.

In fact, it had only been two days since they last met, but Peng Zeng had already recovered from his near-death state. When he saw Yun Ce enter, Peng Zeng was on high alert.

Yun Ce barely suppressed the urge to use this guy as a medicine man, because this guy's abilities were just too amazing. However, this guy was not Dog Skin after all, and he couldn't just study him whenever he wanted.

"Kill me, stop torturing me. All my suffering comes from you. Perhaps you are my nemesis, my destiny." "Heal your wounds and leave on your own. Don't ever see me again. It's better for both of us."

Peng Zeng, who was already able to sit up, lowered his head and said, "What did you do to me? This time is different from the past. My body is recovering faster again."

The dog roared in Yun Ce's mind, "Look how tempting he is! If you let me continue to study him, all the Nobel Prizes in Medicine in the future will be mine... no, yours."

Yun Ce looked past Peng Zeng's inquisitive eyes, clenched his fist in his sleeve, and finally said, "I'll give you five more days. I think your injury will be healed by then."

"Once you're healed, you can leave."

As soon as Yun Ce's figure disappeared through the door, the old woman who served Peng Zeng immediately said to him, "Leave as soon as you can. I saw the look in the head steward's eyes that he wanted to devour you. Be careful, no one in this world can be believed. Everyone is lying. They are all liars."

Peng nodded silently. Over the past few days, this old woman was the only one who had truly been good to him.

"This dog is silly."

Eji looked at the puppy with disdain, but held it tightly in her arms.

Yun Ce forcibly picked up the dog and placed it in front of a low table. He pinched its tail hard, and the dog yelped in pain. Its mouth suddenly enlarged and instantly enveloped the low table. Its two rows of teeth snapped shut, and the bulky low table was bitten in two.

"Don't touch its tail normally. Only pinch its tail when a bad guy tries to hurt you. That way, it can help you bite the enemy in two."

Before Yun Ce could finish speaking, the puppy was in E Ji's hands. Excited, E Ji couldn't bear to use the furniture for the experiment, so she hugged the puppy skin and went to gnaw on the big tree outside.

It turned out to be a great logging tool.

With such excellent tools, it would be very difficult, extremely difficult, for the stones, trees, dilapidated buildings, and broken carriages outside the hunting lodge to remain intact.

When it was time for bed, Yun Ce pulled a dog out of E Ji's bed, threw it on the ground, and pressed down on E Ji's struggling body with one hand, saying, "Sleep well."

Under Yun Ce's observation, the dog was walking with a slight limp, which was probably related to the fact that too much of its brain had been removed.

However, it still has a strong sense of territory, lifting its legs to urinate in various places around the house to mark its territory.

"I will raise the homing birds well. You brought six chicks today, and I will raise them into excellent homing birds."

Yun Ce thought that E Ji would continue to talk to him about the dog skin, but she didn't expect that she would talk more about the messenger birds, the six messenger birds that she brought back from Chuyun City.

There is also a messenger bird on Earth called the Bluebird. Yun Ce has never seen it, but has only heard of it in legends. It is said that whenever the Bluebird arrives, all the longing in people's hearts will turn into the East Sea. No one knows whose longing it is that can fill the East Sea.

When Yun Ce woke up in the morning, E Ji was still asleep. The silly dog ​​had its head buried in E Ji's neck and was sleeping soundly. Yun Ce was startled. He was always very alert when he slept. Last night, he didn't notice whether the dog climbed onto the bed or E Ji got out of bed to catch the dog and then brought it back onto the bed.

"Don't worry, your wife got out of bed to catch it; you were fast asleep," Dog's voice echoed in my mind.

Yun Ce nodded, then turned to look at the still-sleeping E Ji. He felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart. He didn't know when, but his trust in E Ji had shattered the strong defenses he had always prided himself on.

"Actually, it's quite good. If you want to change or transform a group of people, you must first integrate yourself. If you can't even do that, you'll be a demon to them."

Where was this passage copied from?

"I used the bones of the Bible, the muscles of Nietzsche, and the skin of general history to come up with this conclusion. Isn't it perfect for you?"

He removed Eji's hand from his chest and abdomen, which was very close to his heart. Yun Ce sat up, dressed, and opened the door. Immediately, a dazzling ray of sunlight streamed into the room.

Angie was already up; she always gets up very early. This morning, the little girl who loves to dance was gracefully dancing in the sunlight.

This was Yun Ce's first time witnessing the dance of the Han Dynasty. The dancers were light and graceful, and even without music, An Ji still managed to showcase the beauty of this dance that emphasized the waist.

As the dance ended, Anji knelt at Yun Ce's feet and asked, "My lord, did you find this 'Green Waist' pleasing to the eye?"

Before Yun Ce could answer, a pillow flew out of the house. An Ji nimbly caught the pillow and then ran away with a grin.
