"Don't bark, good dog!"

A barely audible murmur reached Big Yellow's ears. Even though it couldn't see anything, its keen sense of smell constantly reminded it that someone was there.

Is it a good dog?

The dog lowered its raised paw and bent down to chew the food in its bowl.

Ruan Xianxian noticed the bloody food in the big yellow dog's bowl. She had heard that the owner would feed the pet raw meat to cultivate its ferocity. She looked away and began to examine the courtyard.

Every now and then, a pair of large, clear dog eyes would glance in this direction. Out of the small animal’s keen instinct for danger, it wanted to warn its owner, but its mouth was suddenly grabbed.

Lin Miao's voice was dangerous: "How many times have I told you, don't make a sound in the middle of the night."

"Woo!" Big Yellow whimpered softly, its voice barely audible.

Lin Miao sneered: "A beast is a beast."

He took down the rope from the front of the house, tied one end to the dog's neck, and urged, "Eat up! You take so long to eat. If I let you out, you won't even be able to eat hot shit."

Big Yellow looked at the food bowl, glanced up at its owner, and took a step back to sit properly.

It knew that in this situation, it was best to obey orders and not disobey the person in front of it, otherwise it would be beaten up.

Unable to see the sadness in Da Huang's eyes, Lin Miao was very satisfied with the dog's obedience. He took out a handkerchief soaked in tracking scent from his pocket and placed it under the dog's nose.

"Smell it. Follow this scent to find the person, understand?"

Seeing this, Ruan Xianxian was quite puzzled: "A dog's nose is very sensitive, but it can't find a person in such a big city just by a scent, can it?"

Is this reasonable?

[Wait a minute, Xianxian.] 365 said: [Let me check.]

[I've got it! That powder, when used on animals, produces an stimulating and aphrodisiac effect; animals have a more sensitive sense of smell than you think.]

This scent triggers its instincts, so it's not surprising that it finds people by following the scent and its instincts.

Ruan Xianxian stopped talking and quietly watched as the big yellow dog, which had sniffed the handkerchief, became excited, letting Lin Miao lead it out.

[Commander! Begin the investigation. Where in this courtyard are the hidden valuables?]

365: [There were three ten-yuan bills sewn into the pillow, about 100 yuan in the biscuit box, and six small yellow croakers in a box buried under the water tank.]

Ruan Xianxian: ? ? ?

That's it?

System: [That's all!]

Would you believe it if I told you that a tomb raiding headquarters only had this little bit of money?

[Increase the detection range.]

A moment later, the system responded: 【Found it!】

There is a courtyard 500 meters away, and beneath that courtyard is a secret room containing a large amount of gold and silver.

Beneath the third piece of junk in the house on the left, there is a secret passage leading directly to a hidden room.

The passage is a bit narrow; we'll have to climb through it now.

Following the system's instructions, Ruan Xianxian arrived at a warehouse filled with scrap. The so-called secret passage was blocked at the entrance by layers upon layers of scrap.

Moreover, according to the system, there is only one passage to that dark room.

She clicked her tongue inwardly, thinking that it would be really difficult for anyone else to get in. Just as Ruan Xianxian was about to temporarily put the scrap into her spatial storage, the courtyard gate suddenly opened.

Lin Miao, with a gloomy expression, dragged Da Huang in. He wrapped the rope around his palm several times, tightening it around the dog's neck.

He closed the door and, without saying a word, kicked Big Yellow away, sending it crashing into a wardrobe before falling to the ground.

Big Yellow made a whimpering sound.

Lin Miao's eyes were filled with ferocity. He took a step forward and pinched the dog's muzzle tightly with one hand to stop it from barking.

He muttered to himself, "No? How could there be no? You useless piece of trash."

For those two sets of ritual musical instruments, he personally let the murderer who killed Matsuda Natsuhito go. His plan was to play the long game, catch that kid and the person behind him, and find out the location of the tomb.

Have you told him yet?

The air doesn't smell of fragrance?

The person is missing?

Lin Miao grabbed a stick and struck Da Huang repeatedly until Da Huang was on the verge of death. Only then did he stand up, panting heavily, and spit out a curse.

"Useless thing."

After saying that, he slammed the door and went back inside.

This loss is too great. Not only did Matsuda die, but we also failed to catch any big fish. We don't know how to explain this to our superiors afterward. It's like losing both our wife and our army.

Big Yellow strained to keep its eyes open, staring in the direction where the figure had disappeared, not understanding why the man who fed it would hurt it again and again.

My heart aches with both love and pain.

Suddenly, a pair of clean sneakers came into view. It looked at the girl's face, who was crouching down close to it, and its nose twitched. It recognized that this was the scent of the stranger who had appeared in the yard.

It let out a small whimper: "Awoo."

Hurry! It's dangerous here.

Ruan Xianxian, having deactivated her invisibility, held a few drops of spiritual spring water in her palm and brought them to the dog's mouth, lowering her voice as well: "Drink it, and the pain will go away!"

Big Yellow looked at her. Animals are very sensitive to good and evil, and with the language spoken by this human, it could completely understand. It stuck out its tongue and gently rolled the spiritual spring into its mouth.

In an instant, a warm feeling flowed through my limbs and bones.

Ruan Xianxian smiled and gently patted the dog's head. "Go to sleep! You'll feel better after a good night's sleep."

She got up and walked towards the entrance of the secret passage.

The big yellow dog's eyes followed that slender figure intently, taking one last look at where its owner's room was. A resolute glint flashed in its eyes.

Supporting his body, which was somewhat relieved but not completely free of pain, he staggered to keep up with the fairy's steps.

Yes! This must be a fairy sent down from the dog god to save it.

So, just as Ruan Xianxian finished storing the scrap into her spatial storage, she looked down and found a yellow dog between her legs.

Ruan Xianxian: ? ? ?

Although, but...

Big Yellow tilted its head to look at her, then took the lead in stepping aside the wooden planks and entering the secret passage.

The dark, cramped space was indeed very small. Ruan Xianxian, who was hunched over, complained, "What is this? There's no way a girl as tall as me can stand up straight."

The sound was so smug.

Big Yellow turned around suspiciously, then crawled forward on all fours, whimpering.

"What?" Ruan Xianxian's eyes widened. "You want me to crawl like you?"

"Ooh~"

"Is there a hidden mechanism inside?"

Ruan Xianxian broke out in a cold sweat. She said that with the tomb raiding skills of a tomb raider, how could the entrance to the secret passage be covered by just a broken board?

So that's where the danger was!

Why didn't you tell me there were mechanisms inside the secret passage?

365: [Yo yo yo! Didn't that yellow dog already tell you? What difference does it make whether I tell you or not?]

Is he... jealous?

The dirt road was already dark, so when Ruan Xianxian turned on her flashlight, she heard a constant whirring warning sound...

Sometimes I remind her not to touch the rocks in front of her, sometimes I tell her how to get there...

After an unknown amount of time, a disheveled head, its original shape obscured, suddenly emerged from the corner of the secret chamber at the end of the secret passage.

The owner of the head immediately covered his mouth and coughed.

The flashlight beam inadvertently shone into the secret room, and the owner of the voice suddenly stopped coughing, slightly opening their mouth, and uttered something completely unrelated:

"Big Yellow! Who do you think is more powerful, me or Wu Xie?"
