Chapter 784: Chapter 782: The Dog is Mine Now

Chen Yang stared at it and slowly walked up to it.

As Chen Yang got closer, the dog began trembling even more violently, as if convulsing.

Seeing it scared out of its wits, Chen Yang couldn’t help but chuckle.

It had been so aggressive earlier—was this what they meant by "a dog depending on its master’s power"? Otherwise, how could it be this frightened now?

"You’re such a coward."

Chen Yang mocked.

"This dog... it does have a tendency to rely on its owner’s authority, but its nose is incredibly sensitive. Its primary function is tracking things." Seeing Chen Yang’s disdain, the middle-aged man behind him made an effort to defend the dog.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang paused for a moment before reaching into his pocket and pulling out two spare training pills.

"Eat it."

Chen Yang threw the training pills in front of the wolf dog, signaling for it to eat them.

But the wolf dog was clearly terrified. It wouldn’t dare eat Chen Yang’s offering and instead whimpered softly, looking pitiful to the extreme.

Watching the dog’s pitiful behavior, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh again, especially thinking back to its fierce demeanor earlier.

Was this really the same dog?

The difference was staggering.

"Go ahead, eat it. I don’t mean to harm you." Chen Yang smiled, pointing at the pills.

The wolf dog quieted down a bit upon hearing Chen Yang’s words and stopped whimpering, but its eyes darted around nervously and it still refused to eat.

Seeing this, Chen Yang’s patience began to wear thin.

Since he knew the dog could likely understand human speech, he decided to directly threaten it.

"Won’t eat? If you don’t eat, I’ll eat you."

As soon as Chen Yang issued this cold threat, the wolf dog trembled visibly, and with a desperate gulp, it swallowed the training pills on the ground.

"Haha, that’s more like it."

Chen Yang chuckled as he patted the wolf dog’s head, then stood up and walked back to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man’s face was still contorted in pain. The aches hadn’t fully subsided yet and continued to torment him.

When he saw Chen Yang approaching him again, he thought Chen Yang intended to finish him off.

However, upon reaching him, Chen Yang began questioning him further.

"The mystical ginseng—what exactly is it? What’s its significance to you? And how do you know there’s mystical ginseng in this mountain? Also, how many people have entered the mountain this time, and do they also have animals like wolf dogs to assist them in tracking?" Chen Yang questioned coldly, towering over him.

The middle-aged man swallowed hard, not daring to ignore Chen Yang’s interrogation.

"The mystical ginseng is a ginseng that’s absorbed mystical energy and gained a spirit-like quality. To put it simply, it’s become sentient. If you consume it, it offers immense benefits to the human body—a treasure money can’t buy..."

"The information about mystical ginseng in this mountain didn’t come from me—it was the Gu Family who sent us here for it and told us about its location. As for how they obtained the intel, I don’t know."

The middle-aged man answered Chen Yang’s first two questions in one breath.

After a brief pause, he continued addressing Chen Yang’s final question.

"To my knowledge, at least five or six teams came into the mountain this time, all from the provincial capital. As for whether they have animals like Xun Biao to assist them, I’m not sure, but I can guarantee that even if they do, those animals won’t have noses as sharp as Xun Biao’s."

"Xun Biao" was the name of the wolf dog, as the middle-aged man had mentioned.

Hearing this, Chen Yang felt slightly reassured.

If all five or six teams had wolf dogs like Xun Biao to aid them, the trouble for him would multiply.

If those people ended up coming after the mystical ginseng in his possession, wouldn’t that turn everyone into his enemy?

Although Chen Yang wasn’t one to shy away from conflict, he respected Old Master Wang’s advice.

For now, it would be better to keep a low profile. Otherwise, it would be too easy to attract trouble.

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Yang’s gaze returned to the middle-aged man.

He pondered how to deal with this group.

Should he kill them to silence them or let them go?

If he chose to kill, seven or eight mystical ability users dying here wouldn’t go unnoticed by the Gu Family. They would undoubtedly investigate, and if they discovered anything, it would spell trouble for him.

Old grievances combined with new grudges—wouldn’t the Gu Family go mad?

But if he let them go, they already knew he had mystical ginseng. Who could guarantee they wouldn’t spread the word?

"If only I could make them forget everything that happened just now," Chen Yang thought, though he quickly realized this was impossible—such a method simply didn’t exist.

"Please... let me go. I swear I won’t say a word about the mystical ginseng, and I promise never to become your enemy again." The middle-aged man, sensing Chen Yang’s dilemma, pleaded in fear of being silenced.

Seeing this, the others began to recover and realized how dire the situation was.

One by one, everyone started begging Chen Yang for mercy.

"Yes, yes, let us go. We promise not to say a word about the mystical ginseng!"

Watching their evident fear of him, an idea suddenly struck Chen Yang’s mind.

"Fine, I won’t kill you."

With that, Chen Yang pulled out seven or eight ordinary pills from his pocket and continued, "But you’ll have to eat these."

The middle-aged man’s face darkened instantly when he saw the pills in Chen Yang’s hand.

Although he didn’t know what they were, he was certain they weren’t harmless.

"What... what are these?"

He asked hesitantly.

"These are Gu poison pills. Have you heard of them?" Chen Yang said with a grave expression.

"Gu poison pills?" The middle-aged man’s face paled further upon hearing this. He clearly knew exactly what Chen Yang was talking about!

"Haha, that’s right—Gu poison pills. Swallow them and keep everything about today buried in your stomach. If you dare speak even one word, you’ll die." Watching the man’s face grow increasingly ashen, Chen Yang felt a smirk inside.

If he understood what Gu poison pills were, then he’d grasp the consequences of eating them, making them more effective as a deterrent.

"If you want to live, eat quickly and get lost. If you’d rather die, say the word, and I’ll personally send you on your way." Chen Yang shouted coldly.

The middle-aged man and the others, terrified by Chen Yang’s ultimatum, scrambled forward without hesitation and each took a pill.

They didn’t want to eat the pills, but the alternative was death. Faced with the choice, they understood what to do.

Chen Yang watched as they swallowed the pills, and once again, he couldn’t help but smirk inwardly.

"Alright, since you’ve all eaten them, hurry and get lost. Stay out of my sight in the future." Chen Yang waved them off impatiently.

The middle-aged man’s face was extremely grim, but hearing this was like receiving a pardon. He forced himself to endure the pain, climbed to his feet, and hurriedly led his group away.

On their way out, they initially intended to take the dog with them.

However, Chen Yang wasn’t about to let that happen. The wolf dog was a spiritual creature and was bound to be useful to him.

"Don’t even think about it—the dog’s mine now," Chen Yang declared loudly.

The middle-aged man’s face darkened further, but he didn’t dare retort and slunk away without a word.

Although the group had suffered injuries at Chen Yang’s hands, they were all mystical ability users. Their escape was swift, and within moments, they had vanished into the jungle.
