Crossing the center of the venue, Famous was in the leading position with Red Dragon and Prince falling behind with more than four-bodies in length, and the gap seemed to be increasing. The crew was manipulating the lift, and the videographer zoomed in the camera and take close-up shots of the three dogs alternately.
Feng Xuan was sitting in a chair, and the assistant gave him the tablet where the images were transmitted to the screen in real time, allowing Feng Xuan to observe the status of the three dogs.
The actions and expressions of Red Dragon and Prince had shown that they were struggling, only being able to run a bit forward after they looked back at their owners, as if gaining some sort of strength from them. At least, they were still going forward. In this aspect alone, they were stronger than average dogs, proving themselves to be the elite police dogs selected by the police force.
Instead of focusing intently on the front, Famous seemed to be shaking its head slightly and looking around, as if seeking for or defending against something.
Seeing that their own dogs were falling further behind and may stop running at any time, Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang used their wit to come up with a solution.
”Red Dragon! Red Dragon! Come on!”
”Prince! Prince! Come on!”
Instead of cheering for their own dog solely, the two men cheered for the two dogs in unison, their voices were much louder combined, so loud that even all of the noise from the venue couldn’t completely overwhelm theirs.
Red Dragon and Prince suddenly became energetic, as if injected with a stimulant, they started to bark and rush forward with full force, and almost in the blink of an eye, they had shortened the distance between them and Famous!
Guan Biao narrowed his eyes to estimate the speed of the three running dogs. His meaty fingers on the remote detonator moved away from the ”sound” and ”smoke” buttons to a series of ”blasting” buttons.
Battlefield.
Famous had forgotten that it was auditioning, but felt like it had returned to the smoke-filled battlefield, implementing an important search and rescue or message delivering mission alone during the intense fight against the enemy. It seemed very familiar with the ruthless battlefield.
Speed was not important on the battlefield; it was survival that mattered. Whoever made it to the end was the victor.
As Famous ran, it observed the mounds, puddles, rocks, and bomb craters in front of and around it. These complex terrains possibly contained hidden traps, and an enemy sniper may emerge at any time to end its life with a shot.
Famous heard paws rubbing on the surface of the ground and breathing, and even heard grass snapped and pebbles kicked off. It knew that two creatures of its same kind were behind it trying to catch up with it.
It looked back and barked, trying to remind them if they kept running at full speed, they would not be able to avoid danger if any, and they couldn’t accelerate to escape. However, they did not seem to understand it, nor did they care at all, shortening the distance to half a body, and appearing on the left side of it.
Two police dogs had run past two-thirds of the venue, shortening the distance from lagging behind three-bodies length at the beginning to now almost running alongside with Famous. The finish line was far in sight, but with this trend, it was only a matter of time before they surpassed Famous.
The two police officers were overwhelmed with excitement. Even Sheng Ke, who was squatting on the floor, stood up and could not help but join in their cry.
”A little faster! Red Dragon!”
”Try harder! Prince!”
The cheer from the three of them was filled with passion.
”Slow down!” said Famous, ”Take it slow!”
Red Dragon and Prince ignored them, running faster and faster in their owners’ applause.
For the first time after setting out from the start point, Famous lagged behind. In the eyes of others, this seemed to be the indication that Famous had insufficient stamina.
As it continued moving forward a few steps, Famous’s eyelids suddenly jumped a bit, and the corners of its eyes seemed to catch some unusual movements.
Suddenly, a puddle on its right front side flashed for a fleeting moment, and the calm surface of the water floating with thin ice cracked, and the three dogs had no time to dodge and the turbid muddy water splashed all over them.
The cold muddy water stagnated their hot bodies. Immediately, a pile of rocks in front of the left side exploded without warning. Countless sharp pebbles were splattering in all directions like stray bullets!
Famous, who had always been wary of the surroundings, knew that they had fallen into a trap when it was splashed with muddy water, sensing something was going wrong, it rolled away and escaped these pebbles in the nick of time. Unluckily, Red Dragon and Prince had almost suffered from the full impact from the pebbles, being covered with bruises all over their bodies, they fell on the ground feebly…
...
There it is! Famous knew that its ability that it had learned from Galaxy appeared again. Foreshadowing crisis—that’s what Famous named such an ability.
To be exact, this capability had not been taught by Galaxy, but was what Famous had perceived from the numerous times of reincarnation.
