Chapter 45: The Duel - Stray Dog Gang VS Farm!
Chapter 45: The Duel - Stray Dog Gang VS Farm!
These past two days have been rather unsettling.
It's not that anything happened at the farm.
It was purely a clash between Little Grey and one of the dogs from the Stray Dog Gang.
After observing it, Xu Ran concluded that the little yellow dog was probably the son of the leader of the local dog gang. It was fat and strong, with particularly robust limbs.
Every morning, you can see eight or nine country dogs gathered at the farm gate, a large and imposing sight.
After all, dogs can be quite formidable when they gather together.
In the forest, even tigers are unwilling to confront wolves head-on.
Among them were two very fat and sturdy little mongrel dogs.
They're all the small yellow variety, and they're quite pretty.
Every time they come over, they bark at the farm a few times.
As soon as Little Gray heard the shouts, he led the little wild boar and the little yellow ox out to meet the challenge.
Coke and Sprite followed and ran out.
Xu Ran found it quite amusing and came out to watch the excitement. As soon as she came out, she found that Li Wu and Wang Hai had already arrived, each holding a handful of melon seeds, and were watching with great interest.
Upon seeing Xu Ran, Li Wu and Wang Hai panicked slightly. Li Wu quickly said:
"Ran-ge, we just finished watering the greenhouse, and the tomatoes are all doing great. We just came out to see what's going on."
"Go Little Grey!"
After saying that, he quickly handed Xu Ran a handful of sunflower seeds.
Xu Ran took the sunflower seeds and nodded. "It's good that the work is done. Planting tomatoes a few days ago was quite tiring, but I don't have much to do these past two days."
"Once the watermelons and sunflowers are harvested, we'll probably be busy for a while longer."
As she spoke, Xu Ran looked ahead.
Both sides deployed their troops.
However, it seems that everyone has agreed that adult dogs will not join the battle.
Only let the puppies fight.
The adult mongrels of the mongrels wagged their tails, cheering them on.
Coke and Sprite were barking too.
Little Gray and Little Wild Boar went into battle against two strong little mongrel dogs.
I must say, these two little mixed-breed dogs are quite impressive. They're lively, agile, and well-built, belonging to a breed with excellent genes among mixed-breed dogs.
Little Gray wasn't going to tolerate it and rushed over to fight with one of the little mongrel dogs.
They didn't go all out; they didn't bite wildly. It was purely a contest of strength.
"These kids are fighting pretty fiercely."
"Little Grey is very strong in combat."
Wang Hai, amused by what he saw, couldn't help but comment.
"Little Grey bullied that little mongrel before, and he came here this time to get revenge."
"I refuse to believe we can't beat it."
Xu Ran couldn't help but laugh too.
Little Grey and the little mongrel are fighting.
On the other side, the little wild boar and another little mongrel are quite interesting.
The baby wild boar currently has little offensive capability; it has no tusks and cannot bite, so it can only ram.
The little dog tried to push it down, but couldn't manage it, and was pushed backward by the little wild boar.
The scene was quite comical, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.
Xu Ran was relaxed, but the puppy's owners seemed very nervous.
Cola and Sprite stared intently at Little Grey, swaying back and forth as if they wished they could take the stage themselves.
The members of the local dog gang in the distance assumed attack stances and barked incessantly.
The scene was exceptionally lively.
As the saying goes, "A wise man submits to circumstances," and in this respect, dogs are definitely among the best.
Little Grey was a strong fighter. Seeing that it couldn't win, the little mongrel immediately started barking and pleading. It rolled around on the ground a few times and then slunk away towards the mongrel gang.
A few fierce dogs will fight to the death, but most dogs will immediately back down when they realize they can't win.
The little dog just ran away.
One of them ran away, and the other one, not daring to get entangled with the wild boar, hurriedly followed and also ran away.
Xu Ran's gaze fell on the little mongrel that was fighting with Little Gray.
This little yellow cat has a great physique; it's very sturdy, and you can even see the outline of its muscles.
It's a good dog; it'll definitely be handsome when it grows up.
When the local dogs saw this, not wanting to lose face, they barked a few times in the direction of the farm to express their anger, and then turned and ran away.
That seemed to be saying:
"We will definitely be back!"
Little Gray wagged its tail proudly, basking in the glory of victory.
It happily ran back, its movements light and graceful.
I don't feel like I used much force just now.
After all, it's a battle pet, so its combat power is definitely strong.
"Little Grey, keep it up! There are quite a few local dogs in Nanshan Village. Let's strive to unify the martial arts world and conquer a vast territory in the future."
Xu Ran looked at it and praised it with a smile.
The little gray tail wagged even more vigorously.
Clearly, this little guy really has that kind of idea in mind.
After watching the excitement, Xu Ran went to attend to her farm work.
Farm work is never-ending; there are always many odd jobs and miscellaneous tasks.
For example, cleaning pigsties, cleaning chicken coops, etc.
The little yellow chicks are growing very fast; they've all started to grow feathers and aren't as "yellow" as they were when they first arrived.
That's good news too.
Xu Ran was still looking forward to the joy of collecting eggs everywhere.
Around noon, Xu Ran returned to her small courtyard.
He went to see the tabby cat first.
The little guy is already familiar with the yard and is very dependent on Xu Ran. Whenever he sees Xu Ran, he runs towards her.
They're quite clingy during this phase.
I wonder if I'll still be like this when I grow up.
After all, it is a descendant of a wild domestic cat, not a bred pet tabby, so it will most likely have a very aloof personality when it grows up.
Xu Ran patted its head.
"Cats are definitely quieter."
"They don't fight like puppies."
Xu Ran thought the little tabby cat was very cute and couldn't help but praise it.
At this time, Xu Ran did not realize that when the little tabby cat grew up, it would become invincible throughout Nanshan Village and become the new boss of Nanshan Village.
It's much better at fighting than Little Gray.
She appears innocent and naive, but in reality, she's capable of anything.
It was another relaxing and leisurely day, but as evening fell, Xu Ran lay in bed, opened the system, and suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
Today we can settle the rewards for the survival mission!
They survived another 30 days in the so-called "end of the world".
I must accept the award.
Once the time is up, a notification message will immediately appear on the panel.
[Survival mission complete. Reward: 1 random rare reward.]
[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Climbing Master]
[Climbing Master: The host is proficient in climbing, including climbing trees, walls, cliffs, and snow-capped mountains.]
[A new survival mission has begun: Please survive for 30 days.]
[Mission Reward: 1 random rare reward.]
Upon seeing this skill, Xu Ran raised an eyebrow.
"A climbing master?"
"This is leading me towards becoming the 'King of Thieves'!"
"Who would climb a cliff for no reason?!"
Xu Ran thought to herself.
Skills are generally considered good rewards, since directly obtaining an ability is too overpowered.
He is now an expert climber and can climb six floors in one go without any effort.
However, if someone else sees it, they'll definitely have to call the police.
Therefore, this skill is more suitable for climbing trees, picking mushrooms, lingzhi, and the like.
It's fairly practical.
Moreover, if we encounter danger in the forest in the future, we can quickly climb up a tree.
A new survival mission has been launched, requiring you to survive for another 30 days, with the rewards remaining rare.
It's no different from getting something for free.
If it were truly an apocalypse, completing the system's tasks might be difficult, but in the 21st century, these tasks are far too easy.
Xu Ran sometimes wondered if the system had been bound to the wrong person, and if there was a "chosen one" in the apocalypse who would lose the system.
That's a bit tragic.
However, this is not something he can decide.
It's all fate.
