Chapter 151 (1/2)
Hundreds of dogs of all stripes gathered at the house in such a short period of time. If someone else had seen this, it would have been posted on various social media platforms the next day. Therefore, Lily quickly moved the dogs to the back of Hao Ren’s big house.
It was said that Hao Ren’s house was actually the last home in the outskirts of the Southern Suburbs, which was also located at the end of the white, stoned-paved road. The back of the house was a wasteland, flanked by walls and unoccupied homes. You could say this was the boundary of human civilization in the Southern Suburbs. The gathering of hundreds of dogs at the back of Hao Ren’s house was not completely exposed. At least, they managed not to attract unwanted attention within that short amount of time.
Hao Ren as well as Vivian followed them, and they looked at the spectacular scene in amazement.
Among the hundreds of dogs, only half of them were domesticated dogs. The rest were the distinct residents of the Southern Suburbs—stray dogs. This large army was made up of many varieties and different sizes, from the Tibetan Mastiff, which was as tall as a man when standing upright to a big pug, which was as tall as a rabbit when it straightened up. They looked as powerful as the United Nations Military Force. Rollie came and took a peek out of curiosity. It was frightened on the spot, cried and ran up to the roof of the two-storey building. It ran up along the wall. The poor cat probably thought it was karma for running amuck around the area. Now, the dog nation of the Southern Suburbs came to crusade against it with their national power…
Lily strutted proudly in front of the dogs. All of them were docile.They sat on standby obediently. Vivian could not help but turn her face away and said, “She’s enjoying this quite a bit… As a werehusky, she is so embarrassing…”
Finally, Lily finished the inspection of her team, and was satisfied with showing off. She raised her hand and gave a command, “Woof!”
All the dogs immediately put the spell cards in their mouths on the ground and followed Lily, “Woof!”
“Stop! Stop!” Hao Ren dragged Lily to the side in a hurry and said, “Keep it low profile, please. This is too loud.”
Lily quickly nodded and replied, “Woof… Err, I got it. Landlord, what do you think of the size of my army?”
“The combat power is quite strong. It shouldn’t be a problem for us to make a clean sweep of the stray cats in the Southern Suburbs,” Hao Ren said this from the bottom of his heart and then, he bent over to pick up a spell card from the nearest pug. The red paint of the Letta rune was blurred by the dog’s saliva. It became void. “…You’re so smart. You even thought of using dogs.”
“A dog’s nose is sensitive,” Lily said with delight and pointed to her nose happily. “In the beginning, I found the spell cards in between the bricks after I smelled some strange scents. But, it was impossible for me to find all the papers in the neighborhood alone so, I organized the team. They can’t do anything else but, they are excellent in searching. I gave them a clear order, don’t come and see me if they can’t find the spell cards…”
Vivian sighed again. She really did not understand what was there to be proud of such an authority. However, she had to admit that Lily’s talent as a husky had finally played a big role this time. A real werewolf would probably have not been able to put down its dignity, squat on the ground and bark with the dogs.
“So, have they collected all the spell cards on the street in the neighborhood?” Vivian frowned and looked at the large pile of spell papers on the ground, which made her even more worried. There was a possibility that the demon hunters were coming in a group. If they were not, it would have probably taken one week for a demon hunter to create such a big number of spell cards. “I wonder if there’s anything else other than the spell cards. Those guys are the best at setting traps. They’re as cunning as hunters.”
“Let me ask you something,” Lily said as she squatted down and patted a big, yellow dog’s head (it looked like a subchief). She asked the dog with a very serious look, “Woof, woof? Woof woof…”
Hao Ren had the idea of recording this scene. He thought that in the future, he could repeatedly watch them barking at each other and enjoy it for a long time! Listening to Lily’s question, the big, yellow dog tilted its head and thought for a while. Then it replied, “Woofoo…”
Hao Ren and Vivian were muttering, “Can you understand what they’re talking about?”
“No.”
“Then, why did you nod?”
“To protect my dignity. Don’t you see that these dogs look at us as if we’re Servant No.2 and No.3? To them, Lily is the boss. I have to prove that my status is higher than the doggie.”
“As a senior vampire, do you really have to compete with dogs?”
