Chapter 419: Why Can’t You Keep Other Animals?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The zombie dog was unhappy. It fought that snake so hard, having defeated it and getting prepared to eat it. But, why on earth was Lin Qiao letting the snake go? The dog didn’t understand!
“Clearly, I brought you out only to let you have some fun,” said Lin Qiao, “I make the decision about whether we’re going to eat it or not. If you want meat, we’ll catch some other snakes.”
“Awoo… Awo…” The zombie dog was still pawing at the ground and letting out unhappy grows.
Lin Qiao kicked on it’s a*s and said impatiently, “Why’re you howling? You can’t eat it, because I say so. Let’s go!”
While speaking, she violently dragged the dog up.
The zombie dog followed her out of the pit very reluctantly while turning back again and again to look at the snake which was still at the bottom of the pit. As Lin Qiao and the dog left, the snake slightly relaxed its tightly coiled body and raised its head to watch Lin Qiao drag the zombie dog away. It was greatly confused.
Quite a while later, the king coil uncoiled itself and quietly crawled to the edge of the pit, sneakily sticking its head out of the pit to observe the surrounding area. After making sure that Lin Qiao was really gone, it suddenly rolled back down and darted into the nearest small hole.
Lin Qiao came downhill and saw Xie Dong and Shen Yujen staying where they were. The bags in their hands had been squirming. Clearly, they had each caught quite some snakes.
Xie Dong and Shen Yujen both fixed their eyes on the huge zombie dog which was leashed by Lin Qiao. The dog looked entirely rotten, covered in dirty blood; and its body was weirdly distorted.
They had both seen zombie beasts, which were like zombies. No matter how horribly their bodies were damaged, they were able to move flexibly and bite people like zombies as long as their brains were good.
Unlike normal zombies, zombie beasts were fast and nimble. They were agile, traceless, and hard to put up a defense against. They were also strong, and their attacks were highly lethal.
Therefore, Xie Dong and his old teammates would rather encounter zombies than zombie beasts when they left the base for missions. Even mutated animals were better than zombie beasts, as the former wouldn’t attack people actively.
Zombie beasts would excitedly charge at all human beings they saw like dung beetles that had smelled dung.
Looking at the awfully distorted, extremely ugly zombie dog, Xie Dong felt that Lin Qiao had such a weird hobby.
‘I understand that you want to have a pet, but can’t you have a pretty and adorable one? Well, it’d be okay if you don’t like pretty and adorable animals, but please, at least find a normal creature, alright? Why do you have this zombie dog? Its skin is wrinkled, its chest is hollowed, it’s covered in rotten wounds, and its mouth is cracked!’
Lin Qiao conveniently dragged a thumb-thick snake off a branch nearby and threw it at the zombie dog’s mouth.
“Here, don’t you want a snake? Eat it.”
“Pah!” The zombie dog automatically spat the small snake out with a strong dislike. How could such an energy-less snake be compared with that giant, high-leveled one? That one smelled way better.
Seeing the surprised look on the faces of Xie Dong and Shen Yujen, Lin Qiao said to them, “Look, isn’t it cool?”
Shen Yujen and Xie Dong both shook their heads. They just could not understand how this terribly ugly zombie dog was cool.
Lin Qiao laughed and continued, “You don’t understand. It’ll become gorgeous when I slowly fix its body.”
Xie Dong paused briefly, while Shen Yujen looked at him confusedly with puzzles in her eyes. Xie Dong knew about the miraculous healing power of Lin Qiao’s magical lake water. Thus, he observed the zombie dog once again. Judging by the shape of its head, it used to be a wolf dog before it turned into a zombie dog.
He pictured how the zombie dog would look like after its skin and fur were fixed. Its sticky fur would become smooth and shiny; when the wounds on its head were healed, it would have a pair of standing ears and sharp eyes. It would be huge and healthy, with strong limbs and sharp teeth.
Its large and fluffy tail would be wagging. Indeed, it would look much more gorgeous than now.
However, what Lin Qiao said next broke his imagination.
“But, don’t you think that it looks like Cerberus 1 from the legend?If only it had three heads…”
Xie Dong didn’t know how to respond.
‘That would be a monster!’
When Lin Qiao approached with the zombie dog, Shen Yujen had already drawn back to the side. The zombie dog was so hideous and scary.
Watching the two’s reactions, Lin Qiao said, “What are you afraid of? You’re zombies, so it won’t attack you.”
She glanced at their bags, then continued, “Alright, we’ve gotten enough snakes. Now, let’s go and try to find some farmlands.”
After saying that, she dragged the zombie dog out of the woods.
On the highway, she let out a vehicle.
“Hop on,” she patted the car roof and said to the zombie dog, which dog looked at her with confusion.
“Get up, or I’ll send you back to the woods. Do you like that?” Lin Qiao continued.
“Awooo…” the zombie dog didn’t want that, so it hurriedly leaped onto the car roof.
Lin Qiao dropped the vine, then abruptly released a stream of black mist from her other palm. Next, she raised her head and said to the dog, “You stay up here by yourself. If you run, I won’t stop you, but devour you. You know what to do.”
The black mist drifted up to the car roof and surrounded the zombie dog.
“Awooo…” As the dark mist was so close to it, the zombie dog immediately dropped its ears and lied on the car roof. That mist made it feel very, very afraid, and Lin Qiao had threatened it. The zombie dog knew how powerful she was, and was aware that it would never be able to run away from her.
Also, it had sensed an even stronger vibe than Lin Qiao. It didn’t know who owned that vibe. If it took off, it might encounter the owner of that powerful vibe. Would it be killed by that mysterious being?
The smart zombie dog was actually afraid of death like many other creatures. It would have a sense of crisis under absolute suppression. So, it now suddenly felt that staying around Lin Qiao was actually safe.
As the dog became quiet and motionless, Lin Qiao opened the car door and sat into the driver’s seat. Meanwhile, Xie Dong and Shen Yujen tied up their bags tightly and threw them into the trunk, then got into the backseat.
Lin Qiao spent a short while waiting for Qiu Lili, but the latter didn’t show up. She figured that Qiu Lili didn’t want to take a ride, so she started the car and drove toward Mount Wu.
After a few turns, she saw a plain area covered in grasses. From those grasses, she surprisingly sensed a sweet smell which belonged to sweetcorn and sweet potatoes.
She parked the car by the plain, then came out to carefully observe this piece of land. As she expected, she found some sweet potato leaves from the grasses, and some other plants, such as sweetcorn.
That was the source of the sweet scent which she had sensed. However, the sweetcorn plants were rarely found, while lots of sweet potato plants were seen.
