This time Xiaohei learned to be smart, pondering for a while with its head tilted, slowly sitting down.

It stretched its neck, looking at Lin Zheyu, with a mix of fear and inquisitiveness in its eyes.

It seemed to be asking, is this right.

"Very good."

"Since you're cooperating so well, I'll roast some meat for you."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

He didn't rush to hunt, as finding a Qi Blood Realm-level fierce beast in the vast mountains was not easy.

Days of continuous hunting without encountering a Qi Blood Realm fierce beast was a common occurrence.

Lin Zheyu suddenly missed the Beast Roar Mountain near Songyi City, where the density of fierce beasts was high.

In the depths of Beast Roar Mountain, there were quite a few Qi Blood Realm-level fierce beasts, but it was much more dangerous there.

Moreover, the fierce beast market in Songyi City was small, not fetching good prices.

Crackling~~

Lin Zheyu chopped some branches and lit a fire.

Beside him, Xiaohei seemed to know what he was doing, looking incredibly excited, watching Lin Zheyu process the beast's fur.

Soon, the aroma of roasted meat spread.

Xiaohei opened its mouth, saliva dripping from the corner of its mouth, forming a small puddle on the ground.

It couldn't help but stand upright, wanting to rush over for a bite, yet feared Lin Zheyu's powerful strength, only able to watch eagerly.

"Sit… Stand up… Turn around…"

Lin Zheyu trained Xiaohei as if it were a dog.

In its eagerness to eat roasted meat, Xiaohei obediently complied, not taking its eyes off the roasted meat in Lin Zheyu's hand while it performed the actions.

"The intelligence of this beast is much higher than expected; in just one night, it can complete so many actions."

Lin Zheyu was very satisfied with the training results.

Hiss… Chirp—

Xiaohei squatted to the side, getting a bit impatient.

It rolled its eyes, ran to the side, and dragged another beast corpse to the fire with its mouth, wanting to place it in for roasting.

"Put it down!"

Lin Zheyu glared at it and said.

Upon hearing the voice, Xiaohei trembled all over, released its mouth, and obediently sat down, saliva still dripping from its mouth.

It had developed a conditioned reflex to Lin Zheyu's voice, recalling the fear of being dominated and the delicious roasted meat upon hearing it.

"Here, eat."

Lin Zheyu was very satisfied with Xiaohei's performance, tossing the roasted meat over.

Xiaohei's eyes lit up, leaped up, and bit into the roasted meat, devouring it quickly.

After over an hour, sunlight broke through the leaves, casting beams of golden light.

The fog in the woods was dispelled.

Lin Zheyu glanced at Xiaohei lying on the ground, its belly round, eyes half-closed and thoroughly enjoying itself, feeling somewhat speechless.

He tugged the rope: "Get up, let's go hunting."

Xiaohei, with a jolt, flipped up.

This beast was interesting, naturally possessing strong concealment abilities; as long as it didn't fight, it wouldn't reveal its aura.

Bringing it along for hunting wouldn't expose their presence, startling the prey.

This was why Lin Zheyu kept it by his side.

Swish swish—

Lin Zheyu held blood bait in both hands, caught Xiaohei by the skin at its neck like holding a black cat, moving swiftly in the forest.

He slightly released his aura, showing the strength of someone newly entered the Qi Blood Realm.

A weak aura rarely piques strong beasts' interest.

Revealing the strength of someone newly in the Qi Blood Realm prevents weaker beasts from recklessly attacking him and can also serve as bait to lure powerful beasts.

Time flies.

After a day, Lin Zheyu still hadn't found traces of a Qi Blood Realm beast.

Looking at the dimming forest, he gave up continuing the search.

He hunted a giant python over six meters long and carried it to a water source, prepared to roast it.

Having been carried by Lin Zheyu all day, Xiaohei looked a bit dazed, with a confused appearance.

It wanted to escape but couldn't.

However, upon seeing Lin Zheyu had hunted a giant python and was starting to prepare the fire for roasting, its bewildered eyes suddenly brightened.

The night gradually fell.

The giant python's body had been cleaned, roasted, and half eaten.

Lin Zheyu roasted while training Xiaohei, not feeling bored.

Xiaohei felt the same.

Its obsession with roasted meat was intense, knowing that staying by Lin Zheyu meant eating roasted meat, eroding its desire to resist and run.

It obeyed absolutely to Lin Zheyu's training.

The next morning.

Before sunrise, the first ray of light appeared in the distant sky, but the forest remained dark.

Xiaohei woke first, carrying a beast corpse to Lin Zheyu's side and putting it down, then sat obediently, waiting for Lin Zheyu to wake.

"Well done!"

Lin Zheyu patted Xiaohei's dog head, speaking with a smile.

With a variety of beast types, he didn't know what kind of beast Xiaohei was, seeing it was as fat as a pig but resembled a fox in appearance.

Foxes belong to the dog family, so Xiaohei should be as well, calling it a dog head wasn't wrong.

Hiss… Chirp… Hiss hiss…

Xiaohei stood on the beast corpse, waving its paws, constantly calling out.

It could produce mainly two sounds, hiss and chirp, expressing different meanings with varying tones.

Although Lin Zheyu couldn't understand, he could roughly grasp Xiaohei's meaning.

This beast had just intended to launch a sneak attack on Lin Zheyu, but was killed by Xiaohei, which stood guard nearby, as it came to claim credit from Lin Zheyu.
