466: Chapter 455: A Bark 466: Chapter 455: A Bark “Brother, you still have a wound on your arm, you can’t overdo it,” Song Yuxue said in an urgent voice, tugging at Song Yun’s sleeve.
“It’s okay, trust my abilities.
I’ve always had a knack for taming things,” Song Yun patted Song Yuxue’s hand reassuringly.
Not long after, Hei Lao San found a chain and placed it in Song Yun’s hand.
After stretching a bit, Song Yun smiled at the Snow Mastiff in the cage and said, “Here I come.”
Seeing Song Yun holding a chain and walking towards it with an evil grin, the Snow Mastiff suddenly felt a surge of fear.
They say dogs have a sixth sense, not to mention a Tibetan Mastiff reputed to have the “eyes of heaven.”
Just as the Snow Mastiff scooted back, it realized it had reached the edge of the cage.
With no escape possible, it had no choice but to face the challenge.
“Don’t be afraid.
I’ve come to save you,” Song Yun said with a wry smile, swinging the chain.
“If you follow me, you’re in for a good life.
I’ll make sure you have the best of food and even the highest quality female dogs.”
Although the Snow Mastiff was smart, it couldn’t understand human speech.
To it, Song Yun seemed like a demon, approaching step by step.
The past couple of days had been terrifying, with creatures being taken from their cages and then heard wailing pitifully.
With its years of experience, the Snow Mastiff recognized those cries as the sounds of impending death, so seeing Song Yun enter filled it with both hatred and fear.
The Snow Mastiff’s fur bristled, and its forelimbs tensed as it glared at Song Yun, growling continuously.
As Song Yun unlocked the cage, he said cheerfully, “I told you not to be scared.
I’ve come to rescue you.
If you don’t come with me, who knows, you might end up skinned and sold for meat by these people.”
The Snow Mastiff’s tongue licked the tip of its nose, its eyes filled with confusion.
Just moments ago, Song Yun appeared to be a bloody devil.
Now, he seemed to have turned into a good person, with all signs of malice seemingly disappearing.
Song Yun entered the cage, sat down cross-legged in front of the Snow Mastiff, and pulled its head over, saying, “I don’t know what you’re so afraid of.
I’ve already said I won’t kill you, so stop trying to hide.”
Before Song Yun could finish speaking, the Snow Mastiff opened its mouth wide and bit towards his arm.
The watching girls gasped in horror.
If the bite was real, Song Yun might as well get a disability certificate.
The Snow Mastiff felt proud inside.
It had not expected to catch this human off guard so easily.
Hmph, it was the dominant Snow Mastiff of the highlands, and this bite would be a lesson.
But as it bit down, its teeth met something incredibly hard rather than soft flesh, causing it pain.
While the Snow Mastiff was still confused, it suddenly found a chain wrapping around its mouth, effectively restraining its head.
“Hmph, with your little tricks you thought to kill me?
Not a chance,” Song Yun said coldly as he tied the Snow Mastiff’s mouth with the chain.
“You’d better behave, or I might just skin you and eat you.”
Drool dripping from its mouth, the Snow Mastiff couldn’t help but shrink back.
This human was too scary—just moments ago, he had seemed like a good person, but now he was back to his true nature.
The Snow Mastiff had never felt such a deadly aura, not even from the wolves it used to chase around the plains.
Seeing fear in the Snow Mastiff’s eyes, it whined pitifully.
You admit defeat?
If you submit, behave yourself.
If you play any more tricks, see how I deal with you,” Song Yun said as he removed the chain from the Snow Mastiff’s mouth.
The Snow Mastiff was considering how to beg for mercy when it realized it could open its mouth again.
Damn it, it might be tough, but how dare he treat it like that?
It planned its revenge, but this time it didn’t dare to bite; instead, it extended its paw and scratched fiercely toward Song Yun’s face.
“Damn it, you’re playing dirty again?
Do you think I’m made of mud?” Song Yun grabbed the attacking paw with his right hand, then balled his left fist with the middle finger slightly bent and jabbed it on the paw.
The Snow Mastiff felt an intense pain shooting through its body from its paw and finally understood what kind of devil this human was.
But since it wasn’t one of those revered living Buddhas, it couldn’t deal with this devil.
Resigned to its fate, it decided to submit.
Watching the Snow Mastiff raise its head, Song Yun gazed intently into its eyes for a minute, and finally, the Snow Mastiff gave in.
Its front legs buckled, and it lay on the ground, its tongue licking Song Yun’s hand nonstop.
“Now that’s a good dog.
Stick with me, and I’ll get you even more females,” Song Yun said with a laugh, patting the Snow Mastiff’s head.
“From now on, you’re mine.
Stay at home, keep watch, and if I find out you’ve caused any trouble, I’ll castrate you.”
With the chain around its neck, Song Yun dragged the reluctant Snow Mastiff out of the cage.
The Snow Mastiff felt extremely aggrieved—being skinned and stewed at least would have allowed it to die with dignity, but serving as a guard dog for this human was worse than death.
But, like the saying goes, you follow whom you marry—be it a chicken or a dog.
This good dog just had to resign itself to a life with this master.
“Brother Song, you’ve got some skill.
I, Old Black, have never revered anyone, but you’re the first.
I went through a lot of trouble for this beast, and yet you barely exerted any effort and it submitted,” Hei Lao San said with a flattering smile.
“Rawr!” The Snow Mastiff bared its teeth and roared at Hei Lao San—it was this bastard who had captured it.
If not for him, it might have already found a mate in the mountains.
Now it was released, it was time for vengeance.
Spooked, Hei Lao San stepped back several paces and said to Song Yun with a wry smile, “Brother Song, this beast is really fierce.”
“What beast beast?
It doesn’t go by that name,” Song Yun said, slapping the Snow Mastiff’s head.
“What are you howling for?
You’re a dog, not a wolf.
Bark properly for me.”
The Snow Mastiff gave Song Yun a “you must be an idiot” look.
Catching the disdainful gaze, Song Yun glared back, and the Snow Mastiff, understanding its place, shrank its neck and let out a soft bark.
“That’s more like it.
That’s how a dog should behave,” Song Yun said, satisfied.
