Chapter 58 - 56: Dog’s Legion

Hang Yu returned to reality.The first thing was to inspect the room.

The furniture was intact, the appliances were intact, everything was undamaged.

Hang Yu was somewhat surprised, quickly checked the Spirit Field again, each Magic Power Grass and Life Grass was already grown and could be harvested immediately for Medicine Refining, indicating the Spirit Land was indeed powerful.

Not a single Spirit Plant was missing!

Huh, that’s strange, why is Erha so well-behaved?

This doesn’t match the species setting of this guy!

Neither in the front nor back yard was a Husky found, could the Dog have run away from home?

At this moment, from a nearby alleyway separated by a wall, there came several continuous barking sounds; Hang Yu, being a Level 3 individual, had hearing much sharper than ordinary people, so it was easy to discern that among the barking seemed to be Er Gou’s voice.

What sort of mischief is the Husky Spirit causing now?

Raising Erha is never a worry-free affair!

Especially a highly intelligent, imaginative, and particularly mischievous Erha Spirit, one must be prepared at all times for their worldview to be overturned!

Hang Yu promptly climbed over the wall.

The alley was an abandoned cul-de-sac, a place where nearby residents piled up sundries.

At this moment, a dozen or twenty Dogs were digging pits and moving items.

A Husky with bright black and white fur was pacing back and forth among them, looking like a contractor inspecting workers at a construction site, chest puffed and head held high, looking very spirited, almost a bit arrogant!

"Er Gou, what are you doing?!"

The group of Dogs on the scene was startled upon hearing the voice and began to panic.

The Husky Spirit quickly barked twice.

The stray dogs resumed their respective duties.

Wang Ergou trotted over noisily and began introducing, "Awooo, please allow the boss to inspect, these are all members of my entrepreneurship team, they will follow me in helping the boss conquer lands!"

Entrepreneurship team?

Hang Yu chuckled.

It’s truly a world full of extraordinary beings these days.

Every cat and dog claims to be starting a venture.

"Your thinking is truly unique, why don’t you use this Dog’s Legion to seize the opportunity to rule Earth and dominate the universe?"

The dog breeds on the scene were very diverse: Chow Chow, Akita, Bull Terrier, Alaskan... every breed imaginable, all stray dogs from the Cyan Dragon Alley community, even some house dogs, might have been rounded up by Er Gou.

They were working in a bizarre order under the Husky’s command.

Not normal!

Very abnormal!

Cyan Dragon Alley indeed was a superior Spirit Land.

Humans or animals living there for extended periods do become healthier, their minds clearer yet not to the extent of animals becoming spirits, even in the Spirit Realm, highly intelligent animals are very rare.

Hang Yu knew from memory and knowledge.

Spirit Beast types, only those at King Level, might possess high intelligence.

Elite, Lord Level, Overlord Level, even some Beast King Level Spirit Beasts, even if endowed with intelligence, mostly possess low to medium intellect, truly high intelligence Spirit Beasts are extremely rare throughout the Spirit Realm.

These Dogs were just ordinary Dogs, right?

Why were they so well-trained?

Could it be that this Erha Spirit had innate Beast Taming Skills?

The Erha Spirit saw Hang Yu’s expression changing unpredictably, thinking the boss was unhappy, it immediately barked to defend itself and the team.

"Awoo awoo, boss, don’t underestimate us."

"Times have changed, Dogs can carry half the sky now!"

"The Dog’s Legion is self-sufficient, it doesn’t cost the boss a single dime for dog food."

Facing the ambitious Erha Spirit.

He felt a vague ache in his liver once again.

Even Dogs were now establishing their own forces, it was absolutely insane!

"Awoo, boss, please see the truth, this humble Dog serves the boss wholeheartedly!" The Husky seeing Hang Yu’s incredulous face continued, "We even prepared a gift for you!"

"Gift for me? What is it?"

The Husky led Hang Yu to the innermost part of the alley.

He lifted a piece of turf, dug a dirt pit, and with his mouth, pulled out a bundle wrapped in cloth, carefully presented it before Hang Yu, wagging his tail and eagerly saying, "Boss, open it and have a look!"

Hang Yu opened the cloth wrap.

It was a complete and fresh green Spirit Plant.

Its surface was enveloped in a subtle faint glow.

This indicated it was a valuable treasure of decent quality, much more advanced than the herbs in the yard’s Spirit Field.

Hang Yu opened the Storage Space and directly threw in the emerald green Spirit Plant. The attributes displayed on his phone.

"Elf’s Life Spirit Grass", White Middle Grade Quality, permanently increases 1 point of Life Energy, can be consumed up to five plants.

Permanently increases life?

That’s really a good thing!

The value of this Spirit Medicine is several times higher than that of the tree spirit fruit!

At the current stage, an increase of 1 point in Life Energy can significantly enhance survival capability.

The Spirit Grass that the Erha Spirit brought back is worth three tree spirit fruits, at least equating to the value of a level 1 or even level 2 White Equipment weapon, enough to exchange for two or three sets of houses like this old mansion behind.

Could Hang Yu not be surprised?

This feeling is like his mentally challenged son suddenly scored first in the whole city on an exam.

The Erha Spirit noticed the changes in the boss’s expression, feeling happy and proud, wagging its tail quickly while letting out a boastful bark.

"Aroo, see, I didn’t lie, did I? Last time I accidentally ate a few of the boss’s fruits, and got heavily reprimanded, but I still felt bad, so I prepared this gift to compensate the boss."

Speaking of it.

The Erha Spirit also felt quite distressed.

It really craved this grass.

Hang Yu patted Erha’s dog head, and earnestly said to the dog, "At least you’re not entirely useless."

The Husky was very happy.

It extended its tongue and licked Hang Yu’s hand.

After all, the Erha Spirit is just a dog.

No matter how high its intelligence is, it can’t change its racial instincts.

Canine animals naturally have a very strong sense of hierarchy, just like how there’s an alpha wolf in a wolf pack in the wild, this ingrained trait grants dogs absolute loyalty to their superiors.

Although Hang Yu didn’t make the Husky call him master, in the Erha Spirit’s dictionary, boss and master have similar meanings, and now receiving the boss’s approval made it very happy.

"Awoo, thanks to the boss guiding Bald Qiang that gave me the inspiration as well."

"If Bald Qiang can organize a reconnaissance and gathering team, why can’t my Dog’s Legion?"

Sounds about right.

Dogs do have advantages over humans.

Under the leadership of the Erha Spirit, the Dog’s Legion plays a significant role, just the resources found probably already enable self-sufficiency, the whole process without needing Hang Yu to worry.

Hang Yu had some thoughts.

He immediately asked the Erha Spirit, "Can these dogs really follow your commands completely?"

"Aroo, of course, if I tell them to do something, they’ll do it. Let me show the boss a demonstration!" The Husky barked twice, and all the dogs immediately gathered, then formed an S shape, then a B shape, "Aroo, how about that boss? Isn’t it amazing!"

It’s confirmed!

Apart from reconnaissance talent.

The Husky has some sort of Beast Taming talent.

Otherwise, a group of ordinary stray dogs wouldn’t be able to form such intelligent formations!

The intelligence of these dogs is generally too low, they can only perform relatively complex tasks under the leadership of the Erha Spirit, and would struggle to accomplish complex tasks without it.

However, for things like sentry duty, searching, and tracking, as long as the Erha Spirit plans ahead, they can also do well, if Er Gou could control all the cats and dogs in Cyan Dragon Alley, it would be like having eyes everywhere.

Any changes could be fully monitored.

This kind of capability is truly impressive.

Wang Ergou can fully cooperate with Bald Qiang’s reconnaissance team, yielding results better than either Bald Qiang or Wang Ergou working alone.

The Erha Spirit is more useful than imagined.

Hang Yu decided to entrust him with important tasks.

After all, compared to Bald Qiang and others, Hang Yu certainly trusts this dog more.

The reason is simple, on the one hand, dogs naturally come with loyalty attributes, and on the other hand, the Spirit Beast bound by a Spirit Beast Contract would have its life completely bound to the owner, making any act of betrayal impossible.

The Spirit Realm is different from computer games.

In theory, Spirit Beasts can be contracted infinitely.

In other words, as long as one can obtain enough Spirit Beast Contracts, one could even contract a hundred Spirit Beasts and open a zoo without any problem.

But just like learning skills.

One can theoretically learn an unlimited number of skills and inheritances, but collecting Skill Stones requires massive costs, and enhancing a skill requires pouring in a lot of Spiritual Qi and consuming a lot of time.

While it’s true that Spirit Beasts can be infinitely contracted.

Getting Spirit Beasts is just like acquiring skills.

Spirit Beasts themselves can grow, but the process of cultivation and enhancement will certainly incur corresponding costs, unless someone has a peculiar collecting hobby, no one would be dumb enough to contract an entire zoo.

Selection of Spirit Beasts should focus on quality rather than quantity.

Wang Ergou will become Hang Yu’s first Spirit Beast.

He is indeed just a Husky from Earth, but his learning ability and intelligence are enough to surpass many Beast Kings, with vast potential for future development, truly a dog head military advisor!
