Chapter 695 Becoming a Demon (2)
“Yes, not bad. You’re lucky. I’ll go and recruit that big stupid goose.”
Satisfied, the large black dog strode towards the small lake in the valley. There were a few big geese here. When one of them saw him coming, it immediately raised its head and barked loudly.
“Uh-uh-uh!”
The largest goose immediately stepped on the water and stretched out its long neck, looking like it was preparing to bite the large black dog.
“Tsk, do you think I’m afraid of you this time?”
The large black dog said disdainfully, “If it weren’t for the fact that you chickens and geese usually have a lot of numbers, would you be worthy of becoming the three tyrants of Qingsang Village with me?”
The big geese that rushed over were all shocked by the large black dog’s human language. Their intelligence was slightly lower than the big rooster’s, and they only knew that those who could speak were very powerful.
However, they were not afraid of this fellow usually. For the time being, they did not stop because the large black dog could speak. They continued to tread on the water.
“Woof!”
The large black dog used the same trick again. With a roar from afar, it immediately plopped!
The big geese seemed to have fainted from the shock and all of them fell into the water. They only recovered after a while. When they looked at the large black dog again, their gazes had already changed.
“Come and pay your respects to me. I’ll be the strongest tyrant in Qingsang Village in the future.”
The large black dog said arrogantly.
The geese flipped over, spat out a few mouthfuls of water, and called out a few times to communicate. In the end, they lowered their heads to the large black dog and did not foolishly provoke this person again.
At the side, Xu Hongniang, who was carrying a basket and preparing to wash her clothes, was in a daze. Was she hallucinating? A dog actually subdued a group of geese here?
Although she knew that this big black dog was quite smart, she did not think of this.
The large black dog turned his head and grinned. “Aunt Hongniang, do you have anything delicious to eat?”
His tone was similar to that of a child. At this moment, his IQ was the same as the children’s, which was why he ran to subdue the chickens and geese at home childishly.
“Oh my god, you’re really good at talking. You’ve become a demon!”
Xu Hongniang was so frightened that she covered her plump chest and was a little shocked.
“That’s right. I’m a demon now. I can talk in the future.”
Instead, the big black dog was very proud. He ran over to take a look at the basket and sniffed it. He said in disappointment, “There’s nothing to eat, Aunt Hongniang. Then I’ll go find something to eat myself. Master hasn’t given me anything to eat for two years.”
With that, the large black dog turned into a shadow and rushed to the back of the mountain to hunt.
Widow Xu Hongniang watched in a daze as the large black dog ran away. Her face twitched. “How did Young Master Song raise it? The dog has even become a demon. Isn’t it too powerful?”
She had heard that demons who could speak human language were at least equivalent to Connate Grandmasters. As for this large black dog, it had been captured by the village and was only five years old.
It was only after Song Shi had raised this dog for five years that an ordinary dog actually became a demon. It was too powerful. Didn’t they say that only intelligent animals could become demons?
When she thought of how she had relied on the spiritual fruits she had eaten to break through to the Connate realm when she was building the road back then, she was speechless and felt envious.
She looked at the courtyard vaguely visible in the clouds at the top of the mountain and her eyes lit up. “I have to tell everyone about this quickly.”
Without washing her clothes, she turned around and ran back. She found the old village chief who was sweeping the courtyard and said anxiously, “Village Chief, do you know what I saw just now?”
“Who peeped at you bathing?” the village chief asked.
“What is it?”
Xu Hongniang rolled her eyes at the old man and stopped keeping him in suspense. She said directly, “I saw Young Master Song’s big black dog speak.”
“Speak? Big black dog?”
The village chief was stunned. “Are you sure it’s a dog?”
“It’s a dog!”
Xu Hongniang nodded. “If you don’t believe me, you can go take a look yourself when you have the chance later.”
“That’s impossible. How can a dog speak? Could it have become a demon?”
The village chief was puzzled.
“Even though he has become a demon, he still calls me Aunt like those brats. He’s like a child. It’s too magical.”
Xu Hongniang’s eyes lit up. She was only a Postnatal martial artist in the past and usually did not come into contact with these things.
“This… I have to go and take a look myself.”
The village chief still did not believe it. He was stronger and had encountered demons in the Savage Desolate area at the back of the mountain, but all of them had only appeared after cultivating for more than a hundred years.
He was the one who caught that black dog. At most, it had only been three years. How did it become a demon? It did not make sense.
“That guy ran to the back of the mountain to hunt. He will probably only return after a while.”
Xu Hongniang said, “If you want to go, let’s find a few more people and go straight to the back mountain to look for him?”
“Sure, I’ll hunt some prey along the way.”
The village chief had no objections. They usually raised pigs and sheep and usually only ate them at the end of the year or during festivals. If they wanted to eat meat, they had to hunt.
He put down what he was doing and went out to greet the few of them before going up the mountain with bows, arrows, and spears.
On the way, Xu Hongniang recounted the matter again. The others were a little skeptical.
When they arrived at the back mountain area and went deeper, they saw some bloodstains. Soon, they saw the large black dog eating a cheetah and cursing, “Who told you to run? I’ll eat your entire family later.”
Sensing footsteps, the large black dog turned around warily. When he saw that it was someone from the village, he was relieved.
“Little Black?”
The village chief shouted.
“Wow, Grandpa Village Chief!”
When the big black dog saw the village chief, it put down the food in its mouth and immediately ran over happily. It cupped the village chief’s leg respectfully and licked the village chief’s old hand happily.
“Heavens, you can really speak.”
The farmer who followed over was shocked.
“No one will believe it.”
The other person said in disbelief.
“Hmph, my master taught me.”
The large black dog was smug.
The village chief touched the dog’s head with emotion. “Little Black, what kind of natural treasure did your master feed you? In just a few years, you can actually cultivate to the point of speech. In the demon world, you’re already considered a little demon.”
“It’s nothing. Master hasn’t given me anything to eat for a long time. We have to rely on ourselves to find food. It’s like we’re wild.”
The large black dog said gloomily, “However, Master will occasionally touch my dog head. I feel that I’ve become smarter and stronger.”
“That’s it?”
Xu Hongniang touched the dog’s head strangely.
“More or less. Anyway, I feel warm all over every time.”
The large black dog nodded. “Then, I learned the breathing technique Master taught me. When I’m free, I breathe in and out the moonlight. I feel refreshed.”
“He even taught you how to cultivate…”
Xu Hongniang didn’t know what to say.
The large black dog looked at the village chief curiously, “Grandpa Village Chief, how powerful are the little demons in the demon world?”
“Uh, it’s considered the lowest level. It’s a little stronger than ordinary ferocious beasts without any intelligence.” The village chief said.
“Ah, so I’m nothing now. I can only dominate a group of chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs in Qingsang Village.”
The large black dog was a little depressed.
“That’s still very impressive. You’ve only cultivated for three years.”
The village chief shook his head. “If you can maintain this speed, it won’t be long before you become a great demon. You might even become a Demon King in the future.”
“Greater demons, Demon Kings… They sound stronger.”
The large black dog felt that he had a goal to strive for.
The village chief was a little embarrassed. Why did he feel that he would be surpassed by this guy soon?
He said helplessly, “Uh, go and eat quickly. Don’t get cold.”
“Alright, Grandpa Village Chief.”
The large black dog turned around and ran to eat, leaving the few of them staring at each other.
“Ridiculous. We’re really inferior to dogs.”
The farmer was depressed.
“When you have time, go visit the young master and ask him to pat our heads too?”
Xu Hongniang suggested.
The village chief was speechless. “Why are you touching its head? Young Master Song should be the one washing its meridians and marrow. If it were us, why should we?”
“That’s true. Little Black is his guard dog. He’s closer to us after all.”
The farmer nodded.
“Can we not compete with it…” Xu Hongniang muttered.
“Let’s pay a visit. No matter what, we’re neighbors. When the time comes, everyone can prepare gifts.”
The village chief still decided to visit.
He had no choice. This benefit was too tempting. Regardless of whether Song Shi gave it to him or not, he had to give it a try.
“Yes, to be able to make a dog become a demon in a few years, Young Master’s ability is much more powerful than I thought. Just give us anything is enough for us to advance by leaps and bounds.”
Xu Hongniang nodded and sighed. “No wonder Young Master doesn’t like her. She’s indeed amazing. I wonder how powerful his wife is. In any case, I’m not worthy.”
The few of them discussed non-stop and returned with uneasy emotions.
