Chapter 155: Release

　　The four of them quietly sneaked past the lit house.

　　The people inside seemed to be having a hot pot, laughing and chatting, completely unaware of the situation outside.

　　Lu Fei and his three companions split into two groups and quickly familiarized themselves with the dog farm's environment.

　　Behind the lit house, Lu Fei found a large room specifically used for keeping meat dogs.

　　Meat dogs, which are dogs specifically raised for their meat.

　　There were all kinds of dogs inside, and it was unclear if they had come from dubious sources; they were huddled in the corners, shivering.

　　"You are free now."

　　Lu Fei opened the cages and released them.

　　Then, he and Hu Zi hurried to the factory where the yin energy was present.

　　A Long and Jing Jian were already waiting there.

　　The factory door was not locked.

　　It was left wide open, with no concern for thieves.

　　No thief would be foolish enough to visit a place like this.

　　The stench of animals mingled with a faint, elusive smell of blood, wafting out through the door.

　　Lu Fei leaned against the door and listened.

　　There was a heavy, ox-like breathing sound inside.

　　He nodded to everyone and gestured to Hu Zi, indicating that he should first use the beef laced with sleeping drugs as a test.

　　Jing Jian, on the other hand, raised his repeating crossbow, tense and on alert.

　　A Long silently stood by his side, cautiously observing the surroundings.

　　Hu Zi took out three pieces of beef from his backpack and threw them forcefully into the factory.

　　A moment later.

　　The sounds of clanking chains and swaying cages immediately echoed in the pitch-black factory, followed by the urgent barking of dogs.

　　Woof woof woof!

　　Woof woof woof!

　　The rugged and powerful dog barks sounded particularly clear in the night.

　　Soon.

　　The neighboring house reacted, and a man came out, his face flushed, holding a beer bottle in his hand.

　　"These damn animals, making such a racket late at night!"

　　He cursed and staggered over to the factory, feeling around on the wall for a while before turning on the light.

　　Under the dim yellow light.

　　In three abnormally sturdy iron cages, three ugly but strong fierce dogs were ramming their bodies against the cages, seemingly very anxious to get out.

　　"Behave! What's all this noise in the middle of the night?"

　　The drunk man walked over and kicked the iron cages a few times.

　　The three hounds stopped one after another, raised their ugly heads, and fixed their red eyes on the man.

　　Their mouths open, razor-sharp teeth bared, thick drool dripped from their jaws onto the ground.

　　The man shivered under that gaze.

　　But the three dogs were not only locked in cages, they were also chained with thick iron chains, making it impossible for them to get out.

　　"Go to hell! What are you looking at? If you keep staring, I'll kill you and cook you in a hot pot!"

　　The man kicked the cage again, shouting threats.

　　The three dogs simply looked at him quietly, their crimson eyes showing no fear, and their saliva dripping even more heavily.

　　"All of you, behave!"

　　Still thinking about the hot pot, when the three dogs stopped making a fuss, the man picked up his bottle and walked away. After just two steps, he suddenly stepped on something soft.

　　He looked down.

　　"Huh? Where did this meat come from?"

　　The man was taken aback.

　　Outside the factory, the four of them, Lu Fei included, who were hidden in the darkness of the night, immediately tightened their grip on their tools, ready to act at any moment.

　　"So they were craving meat, no wonder they were howling like that!"

　　The man snorted with a sneer.

　　"That guy Bingzi is so careless! He didn't even notice the meat had fallen here. But those three don't really like this kind of meat... Whatever, as long as it can shut them up."

　　The man swayed as he picked up the three pieces of meat from the ground and threw them into the dog cage, then hurriedly turned off the lights and left.

　　"Take it easy there, leave some for me!"

　　"What's going on? Why are those three beasts making such a ruckus?"

　　"Hungry, what else could it be?"

　　"Well, they will just have to stay hungry, the kind of meat they like isn't available every day..."

　　The sound of laughter and clinking bottles came from inside the house.

　　The four of them, including Lu Fei, finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

　　However, they did not let their guard down and instead listened attentively to the sounds inside the factory building.

　　The iron chains clinked in the darkness, and the three dogs seemed to be pacing back and forth in the cages, panting rapidly, but no sound of them chewing on the beef was heard.

　　"Not eating?"

　　This result did not come as a surprise to Lu Fei and the others.

　　"No need to wait any longer, Brother Jing, let's get started."

　　Lu Fei glanced at the house with the lights on and nodded slightly at Jing Jian.

　　Hu Zi turned on the flashlight, and the four of them cautiously entered the factory building.

　　In the cage, the three muscular, fierce dogs immediately raised their alert heads, their blood-red eyes fixed on them.

　　It was a cold, bloodthirsty gaze. Just two seconds of being stared at made one feel a chill throughout their body.

　　Jing Jian raised his repeating crossbow, aiming at a fierce dog.

　　Staring down three pairs of bloodthirsty eyes, his hand trembled slightly.

　　"What's the rush?"

　　Lu Fei lifted his arm, steadying his hand.

　　"I'm not in a hurry, I just didn't eat enough for dinner."

　　Jing Jian gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger of the crossbow.

　　Whoosh!

　　The delicate arrow was instantly released, streaking through the dim factory like a bolt of lightning, accurately striking the cage.

　　The fierce dog inside the cage immediately stirred, its mouth gaping wide, revealing sharp fangs.

　　Facing the impending danger, it showed no intention of dodging at all.

　　Puff!

　　The crossbow bolt deeply embedded itself into the muscle of the fierce dog.

　　Blood spurted out.

　　Owoooo!

　　Owoooo!

　　The three fierce dogs howled loudly, savagely ramming against the cage. The chains clattered, and the cage shook violently, as if it would be broken open at any moment.

　　This time, the commotion was so great that all the people eating hot pot rushed out.

　　"Don't mind them, keep going!"

　　Lu Fei's expression remained calm.

　　The greatest threat in the dog yard were these three beasts. Once they were eliminated, nothing else would be a cause for concern.

　　A Long and Hu Zi stood guard at the door.

　　Jing Jian took a deep breath and aimed his crossbow at the remaining two.

　　Whoosh, whoosh, two shots!

　　They hit their marks precisely.

　　The poison from the first arrow to hit the fierce dog began to take effect, its cries grew fainter, and the force of its collisions with the cage gradually weakened; the only thing that didn't change was the ferocity in its eyes.

　　"The poison on this single arrow is enough to kill an elephant; I don't believe it can't kill one dog!" Seeing the poison working, Jing Jian felt more assured, and spoke with more confidence.

　　Soon, the poison in the other two fierce dogs also took effect.

　　All three dogs collapsed in the cage, their muscular bodies heaving violently, with black blood gushing from their mouths and noses.

　　At that moment.

　　People from outside came running.

　　"Who dares to barge into our dog yard!"

　　Seeing someone at the gate, they were instantly startled, and half of their drunkenness subsided.

　　Long did not speak, just staring coldly at them, his unfriendly aura rampant and unrestrained.

　　Huzi twisted his neck and clenched his fists, making cracking sounds.

　　The three men retreated in fright, taking two steps back.

　　"What do you want?"

　　Someone secretly took out a whistle. Long's eyes turned cold, and he immediately rushed forward, reaching the person in just a few strides, directly twisting his hand.

　　"Ah!"

　　The man cried out in pain as the whistle fell to the ground and was crushed under Long's foot.

　　Huzi, not showing any weakness, stepped forward with a sweeping kick, directly knocking down the other two people who were trying to escape.

　　Lu Fei and Jing Jian were in the factory, closely watching the three fierce dogs in the cage until they completely stopped moving and their breathing ceased.

　　"Good!"

　　Lu Fei steadied himself and walked out of the factory with Jing Jian.

　　Those three people had already been subdued by Hu Zi and A Long, they were no match for them at all.

　　However, Lu Fei noticed that the short and stocky dog trafficker from the photo was not among them.

　　"Escaped? Or hiding?"

　　Lu Fei looked up and searched around.

　　He suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he was being watched by a ferocious beast.

　　He turned his head, and his heart instantly sank.

　　In that dark house, a pair of crimson eyes flashed with a cold and sinister light in the darkness.

　　Is there actually an even larger red-eyed dog?!
