Rubbing the little fairy's soft head, Chen Ziyan planned to call his father again to find out what was going on.
Due to time issues during the last call, he could only get a general understanding of the situation. Now that he is borrowing the communication equipment carried by Yingzi, such problems should not occur again.
But what Chen Ziyan didn't expect was that after he proposed his idea, he was rejected by Yingzi.
"Brother Chen, my uncle told you not to call him easily. It's not safe." Yingzi looked into Chen Ziyan's eyes and said seriously.
"Yingzi, are you sure it's not safe?" Chen Ziyan confirmed.
"Yeah." Yingzi nodded heavily.
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan fell into deep thought. In fact, during the last communication, he had a vague feeling that there was something wrong with the way his father spoke, and it always had a vague meaning.
But he didn't think much about it, thinking that his father had guessed that he was pressed for time.
Now it seems that the problem is probably not with him, but with his father himself being in some kind of surveillance state.
I asked Yingzi to convey these words just to tell myself this.
It seems that the situation at home is far from being as good as said!
Chen Ziyan had a clear idea in his heart and planned to go to another camp to check it out later. It would be impossible for him not to pay attention to the snake mine.
But...
Chen Ziyan lowered his head and glanced at the little fairy curled up in his arms, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
If his vision can really be realized, then he, Chen, will have the final say in this place from now on.
The little fairy told him through the unique connection between the two that she had already led her men to explore the nearby terrain.
During this process, in addition to the camp Yingzi mentioned, the little fairy also made two special discoveries. One was the valley on the other half of the mountain. That place gave her an extremely dangerous feeling. If the ordinary weasels under her hands were
Without her order, I wouldn't dare to get close.
The second point is that she noticed that there is some kind of powerful creature living nearby, and this area is the other party's territory.
However, to be on the safe side, the little fairy did not delve into these doubtful points and came back after detecting the specific terrain.
"Yingzi, why don't you take me to another camp to have a look? We are neighbors and maybe we will work together in the future. Let's go find a door first." Chen Ziyan raised his head and said to Yingzi.
Yingzi did not object to this, and even agreed: "Okay, I just want to see the situation around here so that I can set some traps."
"Trap?" Chen Ziyan tilted his head: "Snake catcher?"
"No." Yingzi said with a bright smile: "It's for defense."
"Then don't be too harsh." Chen Ziyan nodded.
This is in line with Yingzi's character. Although this girl seems to have grown up a lot, the nature she developed in the deep mountains and forests has not changed. It seems that she regards the other group of people as imaginary enemies.
But this is understandable. Judging from their appearance, there are only four people in total here, and the rest are all accompanying animals. Their superficial strength is much inferior to the other party.
Chen Ziyan knows very well that hunters who have been wandering in the old forest all year round are good at dealing with wild animals, but they are also good at dealing with people.
As long as it wasn't for a super-standard existence like Chen Ziyan, an ordinary expert would probably die without even knowing how he died if he really competed with a good hunter in the mountains.
"Brother Chen, that's it."
Standing on a slightly higher ground, Yingzi pointed to the crowded camp below and said to Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan looked at the camp below, and he knew the specific situation with just a simple glance. The scale here was much larger than he imagined, and it could still be expanding. Although there were only a few dozen people now, there would probably be hundreds of people in the end.
.
As expected, it should be the work of the Folklore Administration Bureau.
However, after taking a closer look, Chen Ziyan found that this place did not look like a camp in the conventional sense, but more like a public gathering point.
Because the people in the camp below are all in groups of twos and threes, and they don’t seem to be colleagues in the same organization.
Chen Ziyan can feel that kind of strangeness and vigilance here.
"Woof!"
While Chen Ziyan was thinking, a sharp bark suddenly came from the forest beside them.
Chen Ziyan immediately restrained his thoughts and looked at the place where the barking came from.
This is not the barking of Yingzi's dogs.
Yingzi's dogs are all fierce dogs, and their barks are louder, but this bark is more like the sound of a pet dog.
Yingzi also realized that something was happening, but she did not panic. She just patted the head of a giant mastiff next to her and made a gesture to it, and the giant mastiff understood and headed in the direction of the sound. p>
Chen Ziyan also saw that as the giant mastiff advanced, other fierce dogs on alert in that direction followed the giant mastiff.
This scene surprised him. If it were just Yingzi's giant mastiff, Chen Ziyan would not be like this. After all, Yingzi raised them personally, but it is rare for those fierce dogs to be 'sensible'.
The most important thing is that no dog made a sound during this process.
This is awesome.
Let’s all dive in!
After seeing Chen Ziyan's expression, Yingzi explained in a low voice: "There are many times when it is inconvenient for us to make noise in the forest, so I trained them in this regard."
"Very good." Chen Ziyan gave her a thumbs up.
This girl is such a treasure!
Yingzi was a little embarrassed when she was suddenly praised by Chen Ziyan, but before she could say anything, a strange low growl came from the direction the giant mastiff left.
This made Yingzi's expression change instantly, and she quickly said: "Brother Chen, we have to go over there."
"Okay." Chen Ziyan naturally followed the advice of professionals and immediately rushed over there with Yingzi.
On the way, Yingzi briefly explained to him that the strange noise was made by the giant mastiff, which reminded her that the other party was in danger.
After hearing this explanation, Chen Ziyan became a little curious about the uninvited guests over there. It is not an easy thing to make the giant mastiff with many fierce dogs feel dangerous.
If he hadn't known that Nephew Li was not called that, Chen Ziyan would have thought he had encountered that thing.
Because they were afraid that something might happen to the giant mastiff, Chen Ziyan and the others were very fast and rushed over soon.
But when he saw the scene, he couldn't help but be stunned.
In the jungle ahead, a dozen fierce dogs, led by giant mastiffs, were confronting another dog group.
It was a group of dogs all composed of black backs, especially the leading dog at the front, which was only a little smaller than the giant mastiff. No wonder it could compete with the giant mastiff.
Behind the group of black-backed dogs was a man holding a puppy. This man looked to be in his forties or fifties. When he saw Chen Ziyan and the others appeared, he gave them a kind smile.
.
However, when he saw the group of dogs following him and the several equally huge giant mastiffs, the man's eyes clearly flashed with surprise.
Obviously, the size of Chen Ziyan's team surprised him.
But when Chen Ziyan saw the black back and this person in front of him, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
After he confirmed that there was no real conflict, he looked at the other party and asked: "The fifth master of the Wu family?"
Carrying a well-trained pack of dogs with him at all times, this iconic feature is currently possessed by only one person in the entire underground world, and that is the Wu Family Dog Fifth Master in Nine Gates.
But now in front of others, Chen Ziyan naturally can't directly address Gou Wuye.
"Yes, it's me." Wu Laogou smiled and nodded, and then asked curiously: "I wonder who my little friend is?"
"Xieling——Chen Ziyan." Chen Ziyan clasped his fists and announced his home address.
"It turns out it's the leader of Xieling who I've admired in person for a long time." Wu Laogou responded politely.
While speaking, he glanced at Yingzi without leaving any trace, and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so he said nothing.
As an expert in raising dogs, he couldn't see that the dogs in front of him were all raised by this little girl.
But since the person kept silent, he naturally wouldn't ask questions as soon as they met.
"The fifth master came here this time because of the snake mine?" Chen Ziyan asked Yingzi, signaling to Yingzi to call back the giant mastiff who was still confronting him.
He has figured out the cause and effect. It seems that the barking just now came from the sleeve dog Wu Laogou was holding. The other party must have discovered them in advance, so they issued a warning.
Although Chen Ziyan didn't know much about this sleeve dog, he was certain that it was not a mortal thing and was most likely a spiritual beast.
You must know that his little fairy didn't notice anyone approaching, and the sleeve dog had already given a warning. This alone is enough to explain the problem.
This is not an ordinary pet dog, but a mysterious worshiping dog.
Wu Laogou also asked his dogs to put down their guard and replied: "Well, I just wanted to go out for a walk, so I received the invitation, so I just came to take a look."
Chen Ziyan looked at the black backs behind Wu Laogou, and suddenly thought that in the original plot, the crisis here was solved by him. Could it be that he relied on these dogs?
If this is the case, he probably understands where his father's confidence comes from.
Although their overall strength in dog training is not as good as that of the Wu family, they have surpassed it here. The little fairy alone is far more than the old dog Wu who only brought a dog king.
The first time Chen Ziyan saw the giant black back, he already knew that it was a king dog. Maybe even a giant mastiff would be no match for him one on one.
But it’s okay to have only one dog king to protect you, but it’s still hard to solve the snake mine problem.
As for the sleeve dog that is suspected of being a spiritual beast, just by looking at its size, you can tell that it is not the type that is good at fighting.
"I wonder if my friend knows the location of the camp?" After Wu Laogou expressed his respect for Xiling, he naturally changed the title.
Chen Ziyan didn't care about this. He knew that he was not worthy of their honorifics in the eyes of these seniors, so he pointed in the direction and said: "It's over there."
Then the two parties returned to their previous positions together, looking at the camp below. Wu Laogou first thanked Chen Ziyan, and then said with emotion:
"It seems that the problem here is very serious."
Chen Ziyan was worried that he could not get the information about the camp, so he asked: "Fifth Master, what do you mean by this?"
Wu Laogou looked like he was talking very well and looked at the camp below and said: "In just a short while, I have already seen many good people on the road. These people come from all over the world. If the problem is not serious, the owner here
How could so many people be summoned?"
"Convocation?" Chen Ziyan noticed the word.
"It seems that the little friend is employed." Wu Laogou explained with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you often stand by the river, your shoes will not get wet. If you have been in this industry for a long time, you will inevitably have to deal with that organization.
, although they are not responsible for what we do in this industry, it does not mean that they cannot take care of it, so it is inevitable that they will owe favors over time."
Chen Ziyan understood what he meant, that is, although there were no tomb robberies within the jurisdiction of the Folklore Affairs Bureau, it did not mean that they could not control it. However, they did not use this to increase their performance, but replaced it with favors and used it.
In this case.
But it makes sense to think about it. The problem here really cannot be solved by violent means. The Snake Mine is a treasure that is difficult to evaluate. It is estimated that no one will be willing to destroy it, and it is not possible to destroy this place just by destroying it.
In this case, it is better to hold it in your hands.
As for the methods within the Folklore Affairs Administration, Chen Ziyan now has some understanding. Whether it is the shelling in the desert or the fence blocking the road, these people are better at arresting and fighting. The problem here happens to be their weakness.
So we simply summoned people from the private sector to solve the problem.
Chen Ziyan thought of this and looked at Wu Laogou curiously: "Fifth Master too?"
Wu Laogou didn't shy away from anything, and said very directly: "I have been able to walk by the West Lake so freely these years, and the Secretariat also helped me."
However, Chen Ziyan only believed half of his words. The Wu family was taken care of by Thaksin in Hangzhou, but it was definitely not just the Bureau of Management.
He clearly remembered that what Wu Laogou said was invitation, and invitation and summoning had two different meanings.
However, he had no intention of going into details. The person in front of him was not the naive one from his family, and trying to get something out of him was tantamount to fantasy.
Now it seems that the question has been answered, but that’s because the other party wanted to say it.
"My little friend, do you know what exactly happened here?" Wu Laogou asked when he saw Chen Ziyan nodding.
"I don't know how specific it is. I just heard that there was a problem in a snake mine." Chen Ziyan said ambiguously.
"Snake mine." Wu Laogou glanced at him with a half-smile.
Snake Mine, this is the answer given by Chen Ziyan.
Although there are many minerals in the world, this is the first time I have seen snakes as mines. If you really don’t know anything, how can you know that there is something wrong with the snake mine?
In fact, what Chen Ziyan didn't know was that the Folklore Affairs Bureau invited Wu Laogou there mainly to ask him to help find the mysterious creatures hiding nearby, and did not mention the snake mine.
Until now, the people responsible for guarding this place thought that it was the appearance of that mysterious creature that caused the silent black-haired snake to show signs of waking up.
