I was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat after being disturbed by those two vicious dogs.

Who would have thought there would be dogs in an ancient tomb? And vicious dogs that eat dead human flesh!

Seeing the dog running away, we didn't have the energy to chase it. I hurried to Hu Wazi's side and asked, "Hu Wazi, are you okay? Did the dog bite you?"

Hu Wazi sneered, "This animal wants to bite me? It doesn't have that ability!"

After speaking, he kicked the wild dog he had knocked dead and cursed, "Ma Mai Pi! Where did this dog come from! Cāo her niáng de!"

Lao Wei also frowned and said in a deep voice, "Could it be stray dogs from the county, coming to Nanshan to forage for food, and then crawling into the ancient tomb through the robber's hole?"

"It's possible." I nodded and said, then glanced at the dog that Hu Wazi had knocked dead. I saw that it still had an old-fashioned collar around its neck, and the collar wasn't particularly dirty; it was quite clean.

"This should still be a domestic dog; it's wearing a collar," I said.

"Cāo! How can a domestic dog be so fierce? Attacking people on sight?" Hu Wazi frowned.

"It may be a watchdog raised in the countryside; they have to be fierce, or they can't guard the house," Xiao Liang reminded.

At this time, Lao Wei walked towards the corpse of the grave robber on the ground. It was almost completely eaten.

He pointed at the unlucky guy and asked Yinhuan She, "Sis, is this one of yours?"

Yinhuan She said, dumbfounded, "His face has been eaten clean; how can I recognize him? Old brother, you're joking with me!"

Here's a little-known fact: when dogs eat people, they like to start with the face. First, because the meat on the face is especially tender and easy to eat. Second, because people usually wear clothes, and only the meat on the face is exposed, making it easier to attack.

In fact, it's not just dogs; carnivorous animals all have this characteristic. Stray cats are the same.

I remember there being many videos online of people getting drunk and falling asleep on the ground. Stray dogs and cats would come over and lick people's faces, and netizens would say that the animals were being humane, wanting to lick people awake, afraid that they would catch a cold sleeping on the ground. But that's completely wishful thinking.

Those stray cats and dogs are preparing to lick the face clean and have a feast. As long as the drunk person doesn't wake up for a while, the stray dog or cat will bite the face.

So, the face of this grave robber in front of us was the first to be gnawed clean. At this time, Yinhuan She couldn't recognize the person's identity at all, and could only shake her head.

Lao Wei walked over and rummaged through the man's pockets, but the man's pockets were cleaner than his face; there was nothing in them.

"Forget it; let's not worry about whose man this guy is. Let's hurry to the Crystal Palace," Hu Wazi urged impatiently.

Lao Wei nodded, gestured to Yinhuan She, and said, "Sis, lead the way."

Without saying a word, Yinhuan She continued to walk forward along the tunnel.

After walking for about a few dozen steps, I suddenly heard a burst of dog barking. Judging by the noise, it seemed like more than one dog was barking. The sound was very chaotic.

"What the hell, there's more?"

I was about to collapse. Two dogs were enough of a headache; how come these dogs are never-ending?

Hu Wazi also stared, "Ma Mai Pi! Did we poke a dog's nest? How come there are so many wild dogs in this ancient tomb? It's really damn weird!"

As he spoke, Hu Wazi held the retractable baton in his hand. Yun Jie and Er Jun behind him also took out their weapons.

Seeing this, I quickly took out a knife from my backpack. It must be said, these wild dogs are quite scary when they go crazy. The Xiaoling Guard’s guns aren't very easy to use either; it's a bit difficult to shoot these fast-running things.

Taking two more steps forward, we saw these animals.

The dog that had run away earlier had brought back two more companions from who knows where. The three dogs stood in the middle of the tunnel in front of us, barking "wāng wāng wāng" in our direction.

Lao Wei cursed at them, "Get lost! Get lost! A good dog doesn't block the way! Get out of the way now! I'll spare your dog lives!"

As a result, the three dogs gathered together, probably emboldened, and actually pounced on us, acting as if they were going to fight us to the death!

Seeing this, the Xiaoling Guard started shooting without saying a word, firing several shots in a row, instantly killing one wild dog.

The remaining two dogs still wanted to rush forward, but Hu Wazi, leading the two Gēgé, raised their batons and smashed them down, knocking down another wild dog.

Seeing two dogs being killed instantly, the third dog turned around and ran away. A young man in the Xiaoling Guard had good marksmanship and aimed at the dog's butt, shooting it down directly.

When Hu Wazi saw this, he picked up his baton and was about to give it a set of Dog-Beating Staff Technique when suddenly, an old woman's voice came from afar.

"Aiya! Stop! Stop! Don't kill my dogs! Don't kill my dogs!"

We were all dumbfounded when we heard this voice, even Hu Wazi was stunned!

What does this mean? These dogs have an owner?

Are these not wild dogs, but dogs raised in the underground palace?

I looked in the direction of the voice, shone my flashlight, and vaguely saw a thin, gray-haired old woman standing at the end of the tunnel.

The old woman was dressed in tattered clothes, leaning on a thick tree branch, her face full of wrinkles, her eyes narrowed into slits. At first glance, she was quite scary, like an old female ghost from a horror movie.

Xiao Liang was also taken aback by her and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this person... a person or a ghost?"

Lao Wei quickly said, "Of course it's a person; where did the ghost come from? Don't talk nonsense!"

The old woman saw that we had already killed two of her dogs. Although the third dog hadn't died yet, it had been shot in the butt and probably wouldn't survive. Kuàishū Gé

The old woman immediately wailed like a bereaved family member, shouting, "My treasures! My treasures! How were you killed by people! How am I supposed to live now!"

Yinhuan She rolled her eyes when she heard this and said, "Your treasures, my foot. You didn't see them eating human flesh so deliciously just now. When you get old one day and can't get up anymore, these animals will surely eat you too."

Lao Wei stepped forward and asked, "Grandma, are these dogs all yours?"

The old woman wailed for a long time, but there wasn't a single tear in her eyes. She looked up at Lao Wei and said, "Of course! These are all stray dogs that I took in, living with me and my old man in the underground palace. Why did you beat them to death!"

Lao Wei sneered, "Grandma, the dogs you raise are quite fierce, not only biting people on sight, but also eating human flesh. Just now there was a person in the tunnel who was probably bitten to death and eaten by these dogs, and there's almost nothing left."

When the old woman heard this, she waved her hands and said, "Impossible, impossible! You must be talking nonsense! The dogs I raise don't bite people, they're usually very docile!"

Hu Wazi couldn't listen anymore and cursed, "Bullshit! If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself. The corpse is still there. See for yourself what these dog animals have done!"
