Villain: He humiliated the protagonist's sister, but she fell in love with him.

Ji Chen frantically questioned the system in his mind:

"System, get out here!"

"Where's the kidney you were promised? Where is it?"

"Speak up! Speak up, system!!!"

"I @%!$# &%￥"

"..."

But no matter how much Ji Chen called out, the system ignored him.

Lu Chen, who was on the hospital bed next to Ji Chen, was also startled by Ji Chen's ferocious expression.

"Second brother! You're not dead, are you?"

"Don't worry, brother, I'm fine."

Seeing that Lu Chen cared about him, Ji Chen felt much better.

Although I was tricked by the system, at least I became sworn brothers with someone.

Well, it's worth it.

......

The next day.

Lin Ba led Ji Boxiao to the vicinity of a desolate mountain.

This barren mountain is about five kilometers away from Linhai University.

This route has always been used for field training exercises during student military training sessions, and there have never been any abnormalities.

Lin Ba also confirmed with Su Shushuang that the location of this training exercise would be the same as usual, without any changes.

So Lin Ba got up very early, took a day off, and rushed over with Ji Boxiao by his side.

He originally planned to wait until the training camp, follow behind Lu Chen, and look for an opportunity to intercept him.

But Ji Boxiao's appearance changed his mind.

After all, with a dog's nose right there, why not use it? Let's seize this opportunity and steal Lu Chen's chance ahead of time.

Thinking of this, Lin Ba looked at Ji Boxiao beside him with a half-smile.

"Big Yellow! If you find any clues that might lead to treasure later, remember to tell me!"

Ji Boxiao dismissed the comment with disdain, inwardly cursing the situation.

"Tch, why should I, the 72nd generation descendant of the Ziyun Peak of Zhongnan Mountain, help you?"

"Even if I find treasure, I won't tell you!"

Just as Ji Boxiao was feeling smug, Lin Ba's next words made him shudder!

Lin Ba seemed to realize Ji Boxiao's lack of cooperation and directly threatened him:

"Let me tell you, I've prepared ten chubby puppies today, just as many as last time!"

"And each one weighs over 100 pounds!"

"How about this, if you find a treasure, I'll reduce one of your restrictions, okay?"

After hearing this, Ji Boxiao's dog-like face first froze, then seemed to remember something and returned to normal.

"Tch! You've already sterilized me!"

"Don't even mention putting ten female puppies in front of me, even if you put a hundred, I can't do anything about it!"

Ji Boxiao thought with some disdain, then lay the dog down on the ground, clearly refusing to help.

But Lin Ba seemed to have seen through Ji Boxiao's thoughts, and he slowly added a sentence.

"By the way, these ten chubby puppies are male."

Upon hearing this, Ji Boxiao's dog was instantly terrified, its fur standing on end, and it stared wide-eyed at Lin Ba!

Its dog mind involuntarily conjured up a certain image, which startled it and made it shudder.

"Woof...woof woof!"

Ji Boxiao quickly stood up again and called out to Lin Ba a few times in a flattering manner to indicate his agreement.

Seeing that Ji Boxiao was so sensible, Lin Ba nodded in satisfaction.

Then, the man and the dog began a thorough search of the desolate mountain.

About an hour later, Lin Ba looked at Ji Boxiao with displeasure.

"Hey Big Yellow, looks like your dog nose isn't all that useful after all!"

"Since that's the case, then we can't let you live!"

Seeing the murderous intent in Lin Ba's eyes, Ji Boxiao was so frightened that he trembled all over and frantically turned his dog nose on and on.

Even with its nose working frantically, it still couldn't sniff out where the treasure was!

Just as Lin Ba and Ji Boxiao were passing a cliff, Ji Boxiao made a discovery.

"Woof woof woof!"

It seemed to have smelled something and barked at Lin Ba.

After hearing the dog barking, Lin Ba looked around at the cliff.

The cliff didn't look particularly steep, and it was surrounded by a wire fence about a person's height, seemingly to prevent students from falling.

After hearing this, Lin Ba frowned slightly, then leaped and easily landed on the barbed wire.

His gaze swept down the cliff face, then he looked at Ji Boxiao, his tone scrutinizing:

"You mean, there's something at the bottom of the cliff?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Boxiao nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Woof woof! (Yes!)"

At the same time, it was also curious, wondering how Lin Ba planned to go down and investigate.

After all, Ji Boxiao couldn't go down there; he was just an ordinary dog ​​now.

However, the next second, it saw Lin Ba take out a roll of climbing rope from his backpack, neatly tie a slipknot, and quickly put one end on its collar.

Before Ji Boxiao could react, Lin Ba grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up.

Then the dog was suddenly lifted into the air, tracing an arc, and plummeted straight down the cliff.

"Woof!!!"

The rope suddenly tightened when it was about three meters off the ground, and Ji Boxiao, the dog, was thrown upwards, his neck almost rolling back in his head from the choking.

It coughed and swayed in mid-air twice before catching its breath.

At that moment, Lin Ba's voice came from above:

"Big yellow dog, find my spot before you come down."

Ji Boxiao was so angry that his teeth itched, but he was under someone else's roof—no, the dog was on a leash, so he had no choice but to bow his head.

It endured the pain in its neck, hooked its claws onto the protruding rock ridges on the cliff to steady itself, and then leaned in to sniff hard.

Ji Boxiao climbed horizontally along the rock wall for a while, his dog nose rubbing against the cracks in the rock as he moved forward.

Sure enough, I caught a whiff of a scent that was completely different from the surroundings.

"Woof woof woof!!!"

Ji Boxiao quickly raised the dog's head and gestured to Lin Ba.

Seeing that Ji Boxiao had made a discovery, Lin Ba immediately used the Snow-Treading Without a Trace technique to lightly descend along the cliff face and landed beside it in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, Ji Boxiao immediately felt displeased.

Goodness, it came down so easily, then why did you throw it down in the first place?

Despite its displeasure, a hint of barely suppressed surprise still flashed across its dog eyes.

This was the first time it had ever seen such amazing agility and skill.

Lin Ba looked at the rock wall in front of him and confirmed:

"Is this the place?"

"Woof!"

Ji Boxiao nodded.

Normally, there should be some kind of mechanism triggered before you can see the cave entrance.

But Lin Ba clearly didn't have that patience.

He thought he'd try to break it with one punch first, and if that didn't work, he'd use explosives.

Without saying a word, Lin Ba threw a punch directly at the target.

"Bang!"

The rock wall suddenly shattered, revealing a dark hole.

Ji Boxiao, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

Goodness, that's some force!

Even before he turned into a dog, he might not have been able to perform this well in his prime.

What level of cultivation has this person reached?

Besides, judging by his age, he doesn't seem that old...

At that moment, Ji Boxiao suddenly realized that compared to the person in front of him, he didn't seem to be a genius at all...
