Starting as a stray dog, I embarked on a journey of cultivation.

Thinking of this, Gou An quickly wiped the mud off his body on the grass, straightened his messy yellow hair, and imitated the docile and obsequious posture of the rascal.

With its head lowered and tail gently wagging, it cautiously approached the camp step by step.

As soon as he arrived at the camp entrance, the hunter on guard immediately noticed him, raised his hand to grip the weapon at his waist, and looked on alert.

But when they realized that it was just a docile, tail-wagging yellow wild dog with no aggression, the sentry's vigilance immediately relaxed.

"Another stray dog ​​has appeared?"

The sentry muttered something under his breath, then turned and shouted into the camp, "Old Wang, another stray dog ​​has arrived, looks better than the last one!"

A moment later, a burly, strong man emerged from the depths of the camp.

His gaze fell on Gou An, and his eyes lit up instantly, his face beaming with joy: "This dog is of excellent quality, with a sturdy frame, smooth fur, and a robust physique. It's a rare and top-quality hunting dog prospect!"

The burly man strode forward, squatted down, took out a piece of thick dried meat from his waist, and called softly to Gou An.

Gou An understood immediately, still keeping his head down, gently wagging his tail, and obediently approaching slowly.

When he reached the burly man, the man gently patted his head and offered him the dried meat.

Instead of rushing to swallow, Gou An obediently raised its paw and gently scratched the ground, pretending to be intelligent and well-mannered.

"Good dog! What a smart and good dog!"

Upon seeing this, the burly man burst into laughter, becoming even more satisfied, and casually tossed the dried meat on the ground.

Gou An then lowered his head, picked up the jerky, and swallowed it in one gulp, his posture becoming increasingly docile.

"Follow me, and you'll have an endless supply of meat to eat."

The burly man smiled and spoke, then turned and strode into the camp with Gou An.

Gou An is now a third-tier demon beast, with a strong and tall physique, much larger than any of the ordinary hunting dogs in the camp, making him particularly eye-catching.

As soon as it stepped into the camp, it immediately attracted the attention of the other hunting dogs.

Even Lai Pi, who was squatting in the corner gnawing on a bone, spotted Gou An immediately.

A hint of surprise and shock flashed in its eyes, but when it met Gou An's eyes, which looked like they were about to kill a dog, it instantly felt a chill and quickly lowered its head, not daring to make any further moves, and obediently shrank back to where it was.

Gou An followed closely behind the burly man, slowly walking into the center of the camp. He appeared docile and obedient, but his eyes were subtly scanning his surroundings.

Silently memorizing the camp layout, sentry positions, and personnel distribution, he finally focused his attention on the main tent at the heart of the camp.

The three hunters who had just stolen the storage bag were now inside the main tent, carefully taking stock of his treasures.

The thought that the pills he had obtained by sheer luck would soon be divided up by these three guys who had gotten them out of nowhere sent Gou An into a deep pain, as if his heart was bleeding.

No!

We must not let them succeed!

Gou An suppressed his anger and pretended to be docile and obedient, continuing to cooperate with the dog trainer Lao Wang's various commands. However, his eyes were quickly scanning the entire camp and memorizing the layout and personnel movements.

The entire hunter team consists of twelve people.

The four men stood guard at four different points in the camp, maintaining strict vigilance.

The three people who took his storage bag are inside the main tent, presumably busy studying elixirs.

Apart from Lao Wang, the remaining four each had their own tasks. Some were roasting meat and preparing food around the fire, while others were squatting to the side sharpening their weapons. Everyone was working.

We'll take action later tonight!

Gou An instantly finalized his plan.

With everyone on duty, any rash action would be futile. The only chance to seize the treasure would be when everyone is asleep late at night and their guard is at its lowest.

He composed himself and continued to cooperate with Lao Wang's training, repeatedly performing the simple instructions to stand up, sit down, and roll over, his movements fluid and natural.

After several rounds of training, Old Wang became very enthusiastic. He raised his hand and threw a thick bone far away, shouting, "Retrieve it!"

Upon hearing the sound, Gou An immediately leaped out, his limbs flying and his body swift. In the blink of an eye, he caught the bone and turned back, steadily placing the bone back into Old Wang's palm.

"Their speed and reaction time are top-notch! We've really struck gold!"

Old Wang's eyes lit up with even more joy, and he praised repeatedly. He then casually pulled out a piece of dried meat from the cloth bag at his waist and threw it on the ground.

Gou An took the opportunity to lower his head and swallow it in one gulp, looking even more obedient and endearing.

"Good dog." Old Wang nodded in satisfaction, casually adding, "Stay put and don't run around."

Having said that, he stopped paying attention to Gou An and turned to rest and relax to the side.

With no one watching over him, Gou An's gaze instantly locked onto the main tent ahead once again.

He pretended to be idle, casually strolling around, slowly probing and gradually closing the distance to the main tent.

Just as he was about to approach the tent, a figure suddenly moved to the side and blocked his way.

What stopped him was not a hunter, but a completely black mongrel.

The black dog wagged its tail and came straight up to Gou An, lowering its head to sniff his buttocks.

This sudden action startled Gou An, causing his chrysanthemum to tighten!

He immediately bared his teeth, revealing sharp canines, and adopted a threatening posture, trying to scare the reckless black dog away.

But the black dog did not back down in fear; instead, it moved even closer, wagging its tail more and more happily, its posture extremely ingratiating and affectionate.

Gou An carefully examined the situation and quickly grasped its implications.

It turned out to be a female dog. Judging from her affectionate and proactive attitude, she had clearly taken a liking to his handsome, large, blond dog.

Upon thinking of this, a strange chill instantly shot from Gou An's tailbone straight to the top of his head.

Although he was reborn as a dog after transmigrating, he still possessed a human soul!

He absolutely could not accept the idea of ​​him having any kind of relationship with a female dog.

Not daring to linger, Gou'an quickly tucked his tail between his legs and turned to retreat.

This black dog's cultivation level is at most first rank. With his strength as a third-rank demon beast, he could easily crush and defeat it.

But now that they are in a human camp, any action would expose them, so they have no choice but to endure it.

At that moment, all he wanted was to get rid of this infatuated black dog as soon as possible.

But the black dog was still persistent, following closely behind Gou An, refusing to leave.

With the black dog relentlessly harassing him, Gou An completely lost his chance to sneak up on the main tent.

Helpless, he could only wander aimlessly around the camp, dodging the black dogs' harassment while patiently waiting for an opportunity.

Time passed, and night deepened.

After the hunters in the camp had eaten and drunk their fill, they finished their work and went into their tents to rest and sleep.

Only four sentries remained scattered around the camp, still holding their posts and on guard.

Although the camp seemed safe enough, Gou An remained still, patiently waiting.

It wasn't until late at night, when all human voices had fallen silent and the sentries were increasingly lax in their vigilance, that he slowly opened his eyes, which he had kept closed for so long. He lowered his body and stealthily made his way toward the main tent.

He quickly surveyed the main tent. The tent fabric was sturdy and tightly sealed, with no gaps on any side. The only entrance to the interior was the front door.

But at this moment, the white dog with a keen sense of smell that had been there during the day was lying at the tent entrance, dozing with its eyes closed, its body blocking the entrance.

Trying to sneak into the tent would inevitably alert the hunting dog, making it impossible to get a foothold.

Just as Gou An was concentrating on finding a way to break the deadlock, a faint aura quietly approached his side. He caught a glimpse of the unusual movement beside him and was immediately startled.

That's cheating!

The guy moved silently, and before he knew it, he was already beside him, without making a sound at all.

Gou An muttered to himself, no wonder this guy was able to survive the brutal massacre of the female sword cultivator. His stealth ability, which makes him seem inconspicuous, is indeed quite unique.

Lai Pi lowered his voice and asked in a barely audible dog-like whisper, "Brother Gou, what are you looking at?"

"None of your business."

Gou An was too lazy to waste words with it and turned to avoid it.

But Lai Pi followed closely, relentlessly pressing him in a low voice, "Brother Gou, are you trying to cause trouble?"

If the matter is not properly addressed, the journey will not stop.

"I noticed it all." Seeing this, Lai Pi simply pointed it out: "Ever since you entered the camp, your eyes have been fixed on this largest tent."

"When those three people entered the tent during the day, they were carrying a bag with a very special fragrance wafting out. I could smell it from a great distance."

It paused, a shrewd glint in its eyes, and continued, "They had just entered the tent when you, Brother Gou, sneaked in right after them."

"You definitely came for that bag, right?"
