Chu Ge had never done much research on dogs. In fact, he had never raised a pet before. It was not that he didn’t like pets; it was just that he felt they were too troublesome. Therefore, for the dogs, he could only judge whether they met his requirements or not by their appearance.

In the end, Chu Ge bought four dogs: a bulldog, two German shepherds, and a large yellow-furred Tugou, all of which were adult dogs and had done some training in the past. Chu Ge spent more than 5,000 yuan on the four dogs. He felt that he might have been overcharged, but it didn’t matter. The most important thing was that he could use these dogs immediately.

Chu Ge thought in his heart that he had now gone further down the road of a hunter with no return, as he became an archer who set traps, to now even having dogs.

Chu Ge had considered buying a dog when he was sweeping through the Kobold Instance Dungeon. However, on the one hand, that Instance Dungeon had a relatively low difficulty, so he was able to fight through it himself. On the other hand, he was uncertain about the number of Kobolds in the Instance Dungeon. If he ran into the Instance Dungeon and had accidentally lured a lot of monsters out, it would be a terrible situation. Therefore, he had never bought any dogs.

That is, until now.

But this time, he didn’t have to worry about the dog randomly luring out monsters. After all, the final Boss was the only one left.

Also, Chu Ge did not expect these dogs to be of much use. As long as they could attract some aggro from the Boss and share some of the damage from the Boss, then it would be regarded as them completing their task.

The next day, the four dogs were sent to Chu Ge’s home.

Chu Ge had already prepared food for the four dogs by buying food, including beef, chicken drumsticks, and good quality dog food. When these four dogs entered the house, they were a bit shy. However, after Chu Ge fed them, they were successfully tamed by Chu Ge.

“Eat, go eat. It will be easy to work once you are full,” Chu Ge thought as the four big dogs gobbled up the food. This could be counted as the meal before heading into battle.

Although the dogs were dispensable, Chu Ge still gave them names. He called the bulldog Daniel, and the two German shepherds were called Da Hei and Er Hei, respectively. As for the Tugou, it was called Lai Fu.

Considering the danger of the next Boss battle, he did not put much thought into the names. After getting to know the dogs and doing some simple training with them, Chu Ge entered the Instance Dungeon again on the fourth day. This time, he was determined to sweep through the Instance Dungeon in one go.

All four dogs were taken into the Instance Dungeon, and Chu Ge himself had put on his equipment. Today, he did not wear his anti-explosive armor, but instead wore two Black Fur Armor. Although it stunk a bit and its defense was a lot worse than the anti-explosive armor, it added two additional endurance attribute points. These two endurance points were equivalent to increasing the health limit by 20 points. Coupled with his own 11 endurance points, he now had 130 points of health. Considering that he had to deal with a magician Boss, it was useless to stack up armor. Instead, it was safer to beef up his health.

As soon as they entered the Instance Dungeon, the four dogs immediately became happy. They had probably been locked in the house for too long, so as soon as they arrived inside the Instance Dungeon with a wide area, they wanted to run. Chu Ge used a lot of energy to hold them back.

“You guys will get a chance to run and have fun later,” Chu Ge thought to himself. While holding the four dogs, he continued walking forward. Very quickly, he arrived at the entrance of the room where the final Boss was.

Chu Ge first tied the four dog leashes to a torch on the wall next to the stone door. Then, he pushed open the stone door. Behind the door, the scene of the Boss’s room remained unchanged.

The four Undead Warriors stood faithfully under the steps that led to the top of the platform. As for the Necromancer Apprentice named Auguste, he was still doing his experiment that could never be completed.

Chu Ge took a deep breath, then took out a gas can from his backpack.

During these past few days, apart from training the dogs, Chu Ge also studied the tactics of dealing with the Boss. Now that he had watched the Boss for a while and repeatedly made calculations in his head, Chu Ge was feeling confident about how to handle the Boss.

As long as things went smoothly, there was a 90% chance of winning.

The first step was to pour gasoline on the gas can, then unscrew the valve to blow up the four Undead Warriors so that he could start the battle against the Boss.

The second step was to release the dogs to fight against the Boss. That way, they could attract the first wave of firepower from the Boss.

The third step was to take advantage of this opportunity and cut down the Boss.

Yes, the plan was perfect. All that was left was to do it!

After Chu Ge thought it through, he poured the gasoline on the gas can, then unscrewed the valve. With the sound of gas spurting out, a gas smell spread in the air. Without hesitation, Chu Ge put the gas can on the ground and kicked it with his foot. The gas can made a sound as it rolled on the ground. It arrived in front of the steps and in front of the four Undead Warriors.

After all that, the battle was still not triggered. Chu Ge’s heart was about to jump out. It seemed that as long as he was not close to the radar range of the Undead Warriors, as long as he did not harm the Undead Warriors, he would not trigger a battle, which was convenient for him. He retreated behind the half-opened stone door, then shot a fireball at the gas can.

As soon as the fireball was shot out, Chu Ge immediately closed the stone door.

There was a loud bang. Even through the stone door, the sound was deafening for Chu Ge. It seemed like the entire crypt was trembling. The explosion made the dogs bark crazily. Fortunately, their leash was tied to the lamppost; otherwise, they might have run away.

Chu Ge counted silently for three seconds, and by the time he opened the door again, the four Undead Warriors had been reduced to pieces of debris in the flame.

The first step was successful! Chu Ge was so excited that he almost cried out. However, now was not the time to be happy. The Boss also reacted to the death of the four Undead Warriors; he had already raised his staff and stood up.

Auguste (Necromancer Apprentice) said, “Another intruder. Why? Why do you guys always disturb my experiments? But it doesn’t matter. You will soon become a member of my guard.”

“Do you think you can defeat me by killing my guards? As long as I still have my magic, I will have an endless number of guards,” Auguste (Necromancer Apprentice) said.

While he spoke, he began to cast his magic. He waved his staff at the pile of corpses next to him, as a body was brought back to life.

Sure enough, he began to summon small monsters. Chu Ge did not dare to neglect this as he turned back and grabbed the four leashes that were tied to a torch. After untying the leashes, he led the dogs through the stone door.

When the stone door closed behind him, Chu Ge let go of the leashes.

“Go! Go! Go!” He yelled at the four dogs and kicked them at the same time. However, the four dogs reacted differently. Lai Fu jumped directly on the burnt Undead Warriors and started to gnaw on a bone. Daniel spun on the spot with a confused face. Only Da Hei and Er Hei, after a moment of hesitation, had rushed towards Auguste in the distance.

Looking at Daniel and Lai Fu, Chu Ge was speechless. He thought in his heart that these two sure were untrustworthy.

He couldn’t care too much, as he pulled the leashes of the tugou and the bulldog to follow after the other two dogs quickly.

At this moment, Auguste had already summoned a skeleton and resurrected a corpse, while Da Hei and Er Hei had rushed up to the Boss.

Feeling threatened, Auguste stopped resurrecting corpses and instead used a Negative Energy Shot. A gray Energy Shot hit Da Hei, who suddenly screamed, then sprawled on the ground and twitched.

At the same time, the skeletons and zombies controlled by Auguste also blocked in front of Er Hei, who directly ran forward and became entangled with the zombie.
