Zhang Heng raised the Plague Bone Bow in his hand and aimed at the shepherd dog lying on the ground, seemingly asleep.
At this distance, he was confident he could kill it with a single shot, hitting the shepherd dog directly in the head. It would not suffer much pain and could leave this world in its sleep. This was probably the last thing Zhang Heng could do for it.
But the next moment, just as Zhang Heng was about to release the bowstring, the shepherd dog suddenly opened its eyes.

Zhang Heng put away the Plague Bone Bow and turned to leave.
