Rebirth of a White Dog

Chapter 1: Reborn as a White Dog

Southern Border, Skull Mountain, perpetually shrouded in poisonous mist, teeming with snakes, insects, and poisonous ants.

At the foot of the mountain lies a small village, rooted here for over a hundred years. The villagers raise white dogs and possess some knowledge of raising and controlling gu (a type of venomous insect used in sorcery), enabling them to survive in this harsh environment.

The white dogs in this village differ from those in the Central Plains. They have short, white fur, strong limbs, and ears that can listen to the wind. They often sense danger in advance, allowing the villagers to avoid disasters.

When going out hunting, they can evade large beasts and also avoid Yin Ghosts and Malevolent Spirits, truly considered auspicious creatures.

"How did I wake up as a white dog?" Wu Tian looked at his paws, on the verge of tears. He was just an ordinary working man in a later generation. After a night of heavy drinking, he had become one of the white dogs in this village.

At first, he thought he was dreaming. But for two or three consecutive days, his surroundings hadn't changed. In fact, if he didn't eat, he felt the pangs of hunger.

"White Dragon, what's wrong? Are you sick?" Just as Wu Tian was lamenting his fate, a little girl, about five or six years old, gently stroked his white fur with her small hand and spoke softly.

The girl had fair skin. Although she wore tattered Miao clothing, her beauty was undeniable, clearly a future beauty.

"You haven't eaten for two days. Shall I carry you to see Grandpa?"

Wu Tian felt the girl's gentle touch. The comfort it brought temporarily suppressed his inner turmoil. This little girl was his new young mistress, named Chili Mu.

In this village, surnames were placed last, so everyone was surnamed Mu.

His current body was still a puppy. Southern Border white dogs had longer lifespans than other dog breeds, but their growth was slow. It usually took about three years to reach adulthood, and under the guidance of their parents, they learned hunting and sensing danger from the wind.

However, a few days ago, his parents and the girl's father had an accident while out hunting. At that time, seven or eight people and over a dozen white dogs died in the village.

For this small village, it was a devastating blow.

Wu Tian stuck out his tongue and licked the girl's small hand.

She was only five or six years old and had already lost her father. With such a major incident, everyone in the village was busy, and no one paid attention to the little girl.

Although Chili Mu was very young, she was already sensible. She just talked to him every day, not wanting to disturb the adults.

"Forget it, forget it. What's done is done. Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. I should focus on surviving first!" Wu Tian sighed softly in his heart, slowly getting up from the ground. He shook the fur on his body, dusting off the dirt. His white short fur was as lustrous as jade under the sunlight.

Wu Tian's mind moved, and a semi-transparent, pale blue light screen immediately appeared before his eyes. This was the cheat he had discovered not long ago.

Name: Wu Tian
Age: 2
Bloodline: Southern Border White Dog
Talent: Poison Devour 3% (Beginner)
Skills: Hunting 11%, Listening to the Wind 7%

This panel simply recorded Wu Tian's current situation. It was very basic.

So far, he hadn't discovered any other abilities of this panel, only that it had quantified his skills and talents to a certain extent.

"I haven't eaten for two days. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll starve to death."

Wu Tian felt the hunger in his body and let out a whimper. He nudged the girl's pant leg with his head, then sprang up like a white streak, running out of the village.

Southern Border white dogs were different from ordinary dogs. They had long lifespans and slow growth, taking over three years to mature. At two years old, he was still considered a puppy.

Although he was just a puppy, he had already received guidance from his parents, and his hunting skills were considered rudimentary.

White dogs born in the wild jungles were almost natural hunters. Their ears could keenly hear the wind and discern dangerous information from it.

The skill of listening to the wind was almost an innate talent for white dogs, and it was precisely this talent that allowed them to survive in this treacherous and desolate land.

Wu Tian felt the strength in his body. Although young, he was very agile and ran extremely fast.

He followed the route in his memory and quietly left the village. Although there were patrols in the village, they didn't stop him when they saw this white dog. Only as he neared the exit did an adult white dog let out a growl at him.

Wu Tian understood. It was scolding him to go back.

Running out of the village alone was a dangerous thing.

But Wu Tian didn't look back and darted out.

The white dog guarding the village entrance immediately let out anxious barks. But by the time the people around realized what had happened, Wu Tian had already slipped away.

After leaving the village, it was as if he had entered an ancient jungle, with towering trees everywhere. Spiderwebs hung from the branches, and large spiders were often seen hanging from them.

Wu Tian was terrified. Those spiders were huge, with clear, fuzzy bodies and vibrant, colorful patterns, clearly highly venomous.

Besides them, snakes and insects lurked in the dark corners.

Just as he exited the village, he saw numerous poisonous insects and several venomous snakes. The forest was dense with foliage, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, leaving the ground covered in dark, damp dead branches and fallen leaves.

Wu Tian stuck out his tongue, pricked up his ears, and used his listening to the wind skill, carefully sensing information from the wind.

The dangers in this jungle were even greater than he had imagined. He had initially thought that with the wisdom of an adult and the body of a white dog, hunting would be a piece of cake as long as he didn't take risks.

But now, it seemed he had underestimated the dangers of this jungle.

Wu Tian dared not be careless. He knew that white dogs had the innate talent of poison devour, allowing them to consume poisonous creatures in the jungle without being poisoned. Instead, it would increase their resistance to poison.

However, not all poisonous creatures could be eaten. His parents had taken him to live in this jungle before and taught him for a period of time.

Wu Tian's steps gradually slowed down. His ears were perked high, carefully listening to information from the wind, avoiding danger, and at the same time, his nose was sniffing, searching for his prey.

Soon, he had a target: a green snake, its scales shimmering with a faint glow, no more than a foot long.

This was clearly food that was extremely suitable for it.

Poisonous, but not highly so, and it wasn't a large snake. With its physique, it could handle it.

This was one of the White Dog's usual prey.

Wu Tian suppressed his aura and cautiously approached. His paws made no sound even when stepping on dry branches, like soft cotton.

He was not far from the Green Snake, only about ten feet away.

Although this was his first hunt, as soon as he entered this hunting state, the instincts within his body seemed to be fully activated.

His short ears listened to the wind, his nostrils sniffed the air, his body agile, he gradually drew closer.
