"I'll … I'll be your dog!"
Finally, the Gold Thug's ferocious old face calmed down. He seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant as he spoke weakly.
Fwah!
The Gold Thug's choice was beyond everyone's expectation, including Duan Lingtian.
"The Gold Thug actually chose to be his dog?"
"He'd rather be a dog than die … It seems like the Gold Thug values his life more than his dignity!"
"Even a Martial Monarch's dignity is as light as a feather in the face of life and death."
…
Many people in the swift boat exclaimed.
When Gold Thug heard the words of these people, his emotions fluctuated violently. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He could not help but want to slaughter all of these people.
However, he did not do anything in the end.
He was now a dog. He was the purple-clad young man's dog.
His master had not spoken yet, so naturally, a dog like him could not simply bite people. If he made his master unhappy, he would have to bear the consequences.
Obviously.
When the Gold Thug made his choice, he already had the resolve to be his master, Duan Lingtian's dog.
"Come to think of it, I might have made the same choice if I were him."
Soon, someone sighed again.
"I would've made the same choice if I were him! If I had a Sixth Level Martial Monarch cultivation base, I wouldn't want to die as well. Dignity and whatnot are nothing compared to my life. "
"That's right! I think so too. "
…
Many people praised the Gold Thug's choice.
The Gold Thug's mood instantly improved.
"Are you sure you want to be my dog?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he stared deeply at the Gold Thug.
"Master."
The Gold Thug bowed respectfully at Duan Lingtian, using his actions to answer Duan Lingtian's question.
"If that's the case, make a few oaths using the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."
Duan Lingtian said calmly.
He did not want to have a ticking time bomb by his side. Therefore, some restrictions were necessary to avoid a lot of risks.
Gold Thug was not surprised to hear Duan Lingtian's request. If he were in Duan Lingtian's shoes, he would have made the same request.
Then, Duan Lingtian asked Gold Thug to swear a few oaths using the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation Oath.
They were not allowed to attack him or the people around him.
Without his orders, they were not allowed to leave his side. They would only obey his orders as their master.
Don't do anything that will harm his interests.
Anyone who disobeyed would be killed by the lightning punishment!
"Young Master, why don't you ask him to swear an oath that forbids him from being disloyal? If he harbors any 'disloyalty', he will ultimately be an ingrate and a yellow-eyed dog! "
Xiong Quan reminded from the side.
As soon as Xiong Quan said that, Gold Thug's expression changed.
"That won't be necessary."
Just as Gold Thug was about to say something, Duan Lingtian shook his head and said, "It's impossible for him to not be disloyal now. If he were to make such an oath now, I'm afraid he would be killed by the lightning punishment in the blink of an eye!"
No matter what, Gold Thug was still at the Sixth Level Martial Monarch Stage.
Although he had given up his dignity and was willing to be his dog, he would definitely be dissatisfied and disloyal.
Without a certain amount of time, it would be difficult for him to change his mind.
"You're wise, Master!"
Gold Thug looked at Duan Lingtian gratefully.
"You … You're not human?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian seemed to have noticed something. He raised his eyebrows and looked into Gold Thug's eyes.
Gold Thug's eyes looked normal at first glance.
However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that the veins in his eyes were very different from a human's. If one did not look closely, one would not have noticed it.
As someone who had merged with the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's two lifetimes' worth of memories, Duan Lingtian had inherited the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's eyesight and experience. It was easy for him to see that Gold Thug was not human.
"Didn't you see it earlier, Master?"
Gold Thug was stunned.
"Huh?"
Duan Lingtian frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you see that I'm not human, Master?"
Gold Thug smiled bitterly. "Otherwise, why would you ask me to be your dog, Master?"
"What are you talking about?"
Duan Lingtian frowned. The confusion on his face deepened. He had no idea what Gold Thug was talking about.
In fact, Duan Lingtian was not the only one who was confused.
Everyone in the swift boat looked at Gold Thug in confusion. Like Duan Lingtian, they did not understand what Gold Thug was talking about earlier.
This time, Gold Thug did not say anything. He used his actions to answer Duan Lingtian.
Boom!
A soft sound reverberated in the air. All the people saw was a dazzling golden light burst out from Gold Thug's body. It was like a scorching sun. Many of them could not help but squint their eyes.
When the golden light dissipated, the scene in front of everyone's eyes caused them to be dumbfounded.
"No … No wonder he said that earlier."
"Did that purple-clad young man really not see through his background?"
"He should have seen through it … Otherwise, why would he make such a request?"
"I think he saw through it as well! Otherwise, why didn't he make Gold Thug his servant or follower? Why did he make Gold Thug his dog? "
…
The people in the swift boat whispered among themselves. Their faces were filled with shock.
"This …"
Duan Lingtian stared blankly at the spot where Gold Thug was standing in the air. He could not regain his senses for a long time. "No wonder he said that … How can there be such a coincidence in this world?"
In the distance, apart from Xiong Quan, even Feng Tianwu was stunned.
Heavens!
What did they just see?!
At this moment, they could clearly see a huge dog with a golden mane and a black horn on its head standing not far away from Duan Lingtian.
The black horn on the huge dog's head was shining with a gloomy halo. It exuded an extremely cold aura.
As for the huge dog's golden mane, it looked like balls of golden flames were burning every time it moved. It was extremely beautiful.
"I can't believe the leader of the Four Southern River Thugs, Gold Thug, is actually a demon beast! Yes, I should say he's a demon. "
"This is my first time seeing such a dog-type demon beast … The black horn on its head that's shining with a black light, the golden mane all over its body, and its four paws are also shrouded in a black light."
"I think I know a lot about demon beasts, but I've never seen or heard of a dog-type demon beast like this before!"
…
Many people in the swift boat were discussing softly, afraid that they would disturb the black-horned Golden Retriever in the distance.
"Golden Hellhound!"
At this moment, an exclamation resonated in the air, causing everyone to turn their heads to look at the source of the voice.
Even the huge dog with a black horn on its head and a golden mane all over its body was looking at the source of the voice. A purple-clad young man stood there with a shocked expression on his face.
"Master, do you recognize my true form?"
The huge golden retriever spoke in human language. It was Gold Thug's voice. His voice was filled with shock and horror.
"You're really a Golden Hellhound?"
Duan Lingtian had a surprised expression on his face. "Didn't your Golden Hellhound Clan go extinct in the great war more than 20,000 years ago? How can your bloodline be passed down to this day? Not only that, but it's also the Imperial Bloodline. "
Gold Thug was actually a demon. Moreover, he was a demon that was cultivated from a dog-type demon beast. This fact shocked Duan Ling Tian.
In the beginning, Duan Lingtian found Gold Thug's true form familiar after carefully studying it for a while.
He found out the answer when he searched through the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's memories of his first lifetime.
Golden Hellhound!
During the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's first lifetime, there were two great demon beast clans on Cloud Continent. They were the Golden Hellhound Clan and the Berserk Mongrel Rat Clan.
These two great demon beast clans were well-known existences in the Cloud Continent at that time.
Not only were they good at reproducing, but they were also very talented. They were much more talented than ordinary demon beasts.
Of course, they could not be compared to demon beasts like the Jade-eyed Heavenly Rat. The Jade-eyed Heavenly Rat was a powerful existence that could become a Demon Emperor. It was extremely rare.
Among the two clans, the Golden Hellhounds and Berserk Mongrel Rats with the purest bloodline were talented enough to break through to the Monarch Stage and become powerful Demon Monarch powerhouses.
These pure-blooded Golden Hellhounds and Berserk Mongrel Rats were called the Imperial Clan in their clans.
Below the Imperial Clan was the Royal Clan.
The Golden Hellhounds and Berserk Mongrel Rodents of the Royal Family were usually able to break through to the Void Transformation Stage and take human form.
The best among them could even break through to the peak of the Void Stage as a demon.
Below them were the ordinary Golden Hellhounds and Berserk Mongrel Rats. The lower the purity of their bloodline, the weaker their abilities would be when they reached adulthood. However, they would not be weaker than a Void Interpretation Stage martial artist.
Due to this reason, these two demon beast clans could be said to be two giants in that era.
Unless one was an Emperor Stage powerhouse, no one dared to provoke them.
Unfortunately, these two demon beast clans started a great battle in a large canyon in the Inner Land of Cloud Continent. In the end, they almost perished together.
Only a few weak Berserk Mongrel Rats were left in that battle. They quickly disappeared without a trace.
All of this was recorded in the memories of Reincarnation Emperor Wu.
In fact, during Reincarnation Emperor Wu's second lifetime, which was 10,000 years ago, apart from the two great ancient clans on Cloud Continent that had records of the Golden Hellhounds and Berserk Mongrel Rats, nobody knew of their existence anymore.
The two great demon beast clans that once ran amok in the Inner Land of Cloud Continent had disappeared without a trace.
"Master, you … Not only do you recognize me as a Golden Hellhound, but you also recognize me as the Imperial Clan of the Golden Hellhounds?"
When the Golden Hellhound heard Duan Lingtian's words, its pair of big green eyes widened as it looked at Duan Lingtian in disbelief.
In its opinion, this was simply unbelievable!
"Golden Hellhound?"
At this moment, everyone in the swift boat, including Feng Tianwu and Xiong Quan, was stunned when they heard the conversation between Duan Lingtian and the Golden Hellhound, Gold Thug.
"What a domineering name! However, why haven't I heard of this dog-type demon beast before? "
"Logically speaking, a demon beast that can break through to the Monarch Stage shouldn't be a nobody."
