This little black dog was one he raised.
It wasn’t very big and not imposing, just a common mutt.
But it was unlike other mutts.
It was extremely clever and alert.
Especially its sense of smell, which was far more acute than other mutts.
Among the four members of the Wu family, he was the one who loved raising dogs the most.
He had put a lot of effort into this little black dog.
He hadn’t expected that finding this person would rely entirely on it.
He fished a piece of meat from his pocket.
And handed it to the little black dog.
As if it had a soul, the little black dog glanced at him before lowering its head to swallow the meat.
“Little Black, you go ahead. He can’t escape!”
The young boy ordered.
The little black dog immediately turned and left.
It was extremely obedient.
He stood up and looked at the lit house below.
For a moment, he didn’t know what to do.
Everyone was at home.
He couldn’t go steal anything.
The other man’s martial arts skills were too terrifying.
If he was caught, he wouldn’t even have a life left.
“Wait a bit. I don’t believe he won’t leave!”
The young boy was determined to make this difficult for him.
Just as he was thinking this.
He suddenly heard a whimper from the little black dog in front.
But in the next instant, the sound was gone.
“Little Black…”
The young boy was startled and turned his head sharply.
He saw a man walking out of the woods.
The little black dog was in his hand, its neck held in his grasp.
It was none other than the guy who had taken his family’s scroll.
“So it’s you. You sure know how to raise a good dog!”
Zhang Chen was utterly calm.
This black dog was small, and didn’t weigh much when held.
But it was very fierce.
Even with its neck pinched, it was frantically twisting its head, trying to bite him.
Unfortunately.
Zhang Chen simply used a grappling technique.
With a gentle shake of his wrist.
The bones in the mutt’s body instantly felt as if they had been shaken loose.
Its body went limp like mud.
Even its jawbone had been dislocated, its mouth hanging open, unable to even bark.
“You… What did you do to Little Black?”
The young boy “swish” drew a short knife from his waist, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
“Don’t be so tense!”
Zhang Chen looked at the boy.
He couldn’t associate him with Old Man Wu at all.
But…
This boy was indeed cunning.
Also.
This boy was also quite skilled.
He had found Zhang Chen so quickly.
But what surprised Zhang Chen even more was that he dared to come looking for him in the middle of the night?
He’s still just a kid, after all.
He doesn’t know the dangers of the world.
“Who are you? How did you find me?”
The Wu family boy couldn’t figure it out.
He had stayed far enough away.
The dog hadn’t even barked a few times.
There were many dogs kept in this village.
He didn’t believe he could be found by a few barks.
But…
Zhang Chen had actually been alerted by those two barks.
Firstly.
Behind his house was a forest, with no houses around.
Usually, the dog barks were from the village in front of his house.
Secondly.
What kind of dog would only bark twice?
Furthermore.
Since his Xuan Tian Gong internal energy had progressed.
The five senses enhancement brought by the Zi Ji Mo Tong had become even more powerful.
He could tell at once that this dog was different from ordinary mutts.
Therefore, he used the Zi Ji Mo Tong to look in this direction.
For ordinary people.
At night, and from this distance, it was natural that they couldn’t see anything.
But the Zi Ji Mo Tong could see at night.
Moreover, its eyesight was incredibly sharp.
Even in the entry level of the micro-level, it could clearly see a young boy standing beside the forest, not even bothering to hide.
“You’re the Wu family’s San Ya Zi, right? What do you want from me?”
Zhang Chen didn’t answer his question, but asked instead.
This Wu family boy knew that the other man wouldn’t tell him.
But he was panicking right now.
Although he had been through a lot.
He wasn’t an adult yet.
Being suddenly discovered, he forced down his fear and held his knife to defend himself.
All he could think about was “I’m going to die today.”
This man wasn’t a good guy.
One look at how he was holding the knife told you that he had definitely stained his hands with blood.
What was he supposed to do with a ruthless man like this?
But when he thought of his dead father and his second brother and uncle, etc.
He gritted his teeth and resentfully said, “You stole something from my second brother!”
“The Warring States scroll?”
Zhang Chen looked at him with a smile, “Then you have to kill me to get it back!”
“I…”
He was speechless, rendered unable to respond by Zhang Chen’s words.
This guy was simply fearless.
“Do you want to die?”
Zhang Chen asked.
“What?”
The Wu family boy was stunned.
“I asked you, do you want to die?”
Zhang Chen’s tone was somewhat cold.
The Wu family boy involuntarily shivered and gritted his teeth, “Of course, who wants to die!”
“Then don’t mention anything about your second brother’s thing. Don’t forget, you used us as shields against the blood corpse. Because of that, I could have killed you right then!”
Zhang Chen spoke calmly and coolly, but there was a hint of killing intent.
Hearing this, the Wu family boy’s face changed involuntarily.
Regret? Of course he regretted it.
He never expected this man to be so powerful.
He had hidden so far away, and still been discovered.
He had been careful and cautious.
But the other man seemed to know everything.
However…
From the other man’s tone.
It seemed like if he didn’t mention the Warring States scroll.
He wouldn’t kill him?
Thinking of this, the Wu family boy felt a little relieved.
After a while, he said, “Fine, I won’t mention it again.”
Zhang Chen chuckled.
This boy was indeed a character.
Of course.
Since he was from one of the Nine Gates.
Old Man Wu wouldn’t have gotten this far without some skill and character.
Just as they were talking.
The Wu family boy’s stomach suddenly growled.
The two of them looked at each other.
“How long has it been since you’ve eaten?”
Zhang Chen asked.
“A day!”
The Wu family boy said.
“Then come have some food at my place!”
Zhang Chen invited.
The Wu family boy was stunned.
Invite him to eat?
What was going on?
He was wary and wanted to refuse.
But then he thought about the other man’s abilities and didn’t dare.
Then he thought about it again.
If he wanted to kill him, he could have just punched him right here.
Why bother inviting him to eat like this?
Could it be?
He wanted him to help with something?
Right…
This man had immediately called out his identity.
He even knew his nickname, San Ya Zi.
Could it be…
He knew our Wu family?
Countless mysteries arose in his mind.
He wanted to ask.
But Zhang Chen had already turned and walked ahead.
“Wait!”
The Wu family boy quickly called out.
Zhang Chen turned back.
He saw the boy point to his dog and said, “Big Brother, can you please heal my dog first?”
Zhang Chen smiled.
He was indeed a dog lover.
He didn’t ask anything else, but first asked him to heal his dog?
“Mm-hmm!”
Zhang Chen nodded.
Then he walked over and picked up the black dog by the neck.
His wrist shook.
There was a series of “crackling” sounds.
Little Black, who had been like a puddle of mud, its bones completely dislocated, immediately recovered.
Zhang Chen let go, and the black dog darted to the Wu family boy’s side, looking at Zhang Chen warily.
But it didn’t bark or bite.
It was as if it knew Zhang Chen’s abilities.
“What a good dog!”
Zhang Chen chuckled.
