"What big thing?"
Vermilion Bird looked at Jiang Chen perplexedly, she didn't sense any danger within the wall.
"There are dogs! Judging from the sound of their breathing, they should be large breeds like Tibetan Mastiffs. Once they bark, our infiltration will be completely blown!" Jiang Chen pointed outside.
Vermilion Bird's brows furrowed slightly, she moved closer to the exterior wall, and listened carefully, then spoke gravely, "This is troublesome. There could be more than a dozen Tibetan Mastiffs inside. Should we find another place to enter?"
"Changing our entry point would probably be the same. More importantly, places without Tibetan Mastiffs might be even trickier. With dogs, as long as they don't make a sound, it's fine. But with people, you need to knock them out or kill them. However, if we leave bodies behind, we can't guarantee they won't be discovered. If found, our mission is just as much a failure," Jiang Chen said while shaking his head lightly.
"This..." Vermilion Bird's brow wrinkled tightly, she understood Jiang Chen was right and felt somewhat troubled for a moment.
"I'll handle these dogs. When you feel a chilling murderous intent, don't hesitate, just leap in!" Jiang Chen spoke softly.
Vermilion Bird was slightly taken aback, "Murderous intent?"
"Though dogs can't speak, their senses are exceptionally sharp. As long as I use murderous intent to crush their psychological defenses in one blow, even the fiercest dogs will turn into lapdogs. Besides, these dogs might even be able to help us!" Jiang Chen explained with a smile.
Vermilion Bird blinked, her face full of confusion, "Intimidate a dozen Tibetan Mastiffs all at once, how strong must that murderous intent be?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Just remember, the moment you feel the murderous intent, jump in immediately. I'll try to limit the extent of the goodwill's coverage, but I can't guarantee that the Fallen Angels won't have someone with keen perception. So, you absolutely can't waste time, understand?" Jiang Chen reminded her once more.
Vermilion Bird nodded vigorously, grasping the gravity of the situation, and dared not take it lightly.
Yet, in her heart, Vermilion Bird somewhat doubted Jiang Chen's ability to scare those Tibetan Mastiffs in an instance.
These were Tibetan Mastiffs that dared to fight tigers and lions, and judging from their breathing, there were at least a dozen of them. How could anyone scare them into submission before they even had a chance to bark?
This was a hundred times harder than killing them in an instant!
"Dragon..." Vermilion Bird started to speak, intending to persuade Jiang Chen to change the plan, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Jiang Chen's figure had already vanished.
Whoosh!
Seeing Vermilion Bird nod, Jiang Chen's legs tensed, and he leapt over the wall, descending toward the inside.
In the moment of leaping over, Jiang Chen quickly scanned the inside: a dozen Tibetan Mastiffs were lying on the ground, vigilantly watching the wall, while in other directions, at intervals of several tens of meters, groups of Tibetan Mastiffs or gunmen were ambushed in trees or among vegetation.
A group of Tibetan Mastiffs stood up abruptly upon seeing someone enter, their mouths opening to bark furiously.
"Shut up!" barked Jiang Chen, his body trembling.
Whirring!
An overwhelming murderous aura emerged as Jiang Chen pushed his Cultivation Technique to the limit, unleashing the intimidatory front half of the 'Third Style of Blood Dance Heaven and Earth' Rupture Earth Soul.
The group of Tibetan Mastiffs instantly felt as though they had fallen into an abyss; the man descending from the wall was not human, but a demon from the depths of the abyss!
"Oh..."
The Tibetan Mastiffs whined softly and lay back down, their eyes filled with terror as they watched Jiang Chen.
Outside the wall, Vermilion Bird felt the murderous intent coming from inside. His face turned pale, and he violently shivered, his face filled with shock as he glanced at the outer wall, momentarily stunned.
What kind of murderous intent was this?
How could the Dragon King possess such a strong intent to kill? How many people must one have killed to accumulate such an aura?
"Vermilion Bird!" A faint call arose, snapping Vermilion Bird out of his reverie. With a jolt, he leapt, flipping over the top of the wall.
Once inside, he saw a pack of Tibetan Mastiffs looking pitiful and frightened, gazing at Jiang Chen. A flicker of shock crossed Vermilion Bird's eyes.
These were Tibetan Mastiffs! The kind that could fight tigers and chase away wolves!
Yet now, they were like pugs, sticking out their tongues and begging plaintively.
This was too terrifying!
"Stop daydreaming! Did you used to daydream during your missions?" Jiang Chen chided Vermilion Bird with a glance, crouching down and stealthily approaching one side of the yard wall. Vermilion Bird snapped back to reality and hastily followed him.
The two of them trailed the wall around the manor before returning to their initial entry point. During this circuit, Jiang Chen had intimidated all the Tibetan Mastiffs in the manor once over.
"Dragon King, what are you..." Upon returning to the starting point, Vermilion Bird glanced at the dozen or so Tibetan Mastiffs that flopped down and wagged their tails upon seeing Jiang Chen. His face showed confusion as he turned towards Jiang Chen.
"Just making sure we have an extra way out."
Jiang Chen softly replied, raising his hand and pointing towards the tallest villa in the center of the manor, "In the whole manor, there are only two places with the strictest guards. One is there, which is obviously where the manor's controller lives, and the other is the huge weapon storage in the backyard. Where do you think the entrance to their underground research facility would be?"
"It should be under that villa. The researchers need to rest, and it would be directly connected to the villa. That way, it ensures the safety of the researchers and serves a hidden purpose," Vermilion Bird pointed towards the villa.
"If it were me arranging such a thing, I would have it under the weapon storage."
Jiang Chen shook his head lightly, "Moreover, creating a resting place underground where researchers don't even need to come up makes it even more secretive. More importantly, having it under the weapon storage means that if outsiders get in and take control of the underground base, simply blow up the weapon storage, and the underground research facility is done for!"
"This..." Vermilion Bird was taken aback for a moment, then slowly nodded, "You do have a point."
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "And the most important point, who would build a weapon storage as big as a stadium? If it was filled with weapons, a single rocket could level the entire manor for miles around. I won't rule out that there is a real weapon storage, but it definitely can't be that big for just weapons alone. It's not like there's a world war. So that must be a decoy."
"You're right!" Vermilion Bird looked at the huge oval-shaped weapon storage and nodded in agreement.
"Let's go take a closer look!" Jiang Chen motioned and made his way towards the weapon storage.
Upon reaching thirty meters from the entrance of the weapon storage, the two hid in the greenery, only to find that they couldn't get in.
At the entrance of the weapon storage, there were two Paladin Knights standing guard.
"Damn it, who said all the Paladin Knights in this garrison were out?" Jiang Chen cursed under his breath.
Thud, thud, thud!
In the midst of talking, the sound of footsteps arose as a patrol of mercenaries walked past the front of the weapon storage.
