Chapter 387 The Shiba Inu with a Long Knife in Its Mouth
"I don't know if the old man will cry, but if this guy really becomes a pirate, he should definitely have a good cry."
Xu Ning turned to look at Qi Liangliang, "Should I fly you there? Or should you go into my cave first, and I'll ask you to come out when we get there?"
Qi Liangliang glanced at the water with concern and chose to enter the Dust Concealment Gourd first.
The moment Xu Ning led Qi Liangliang inside, Wendy let out a scream, "Another cat!"
Xu Ning ignored Wendy, who was sneezing and frantically running to find a small stool, and smiled at Qi Liangliang, saying, "Wait here for a while, I'll call you when I get there."
Xu Ning spread his Wind Wings, creating a breeze on the ground, and flew directly towards the place that Qi Liangliang called "Blade Link Island".
The island is small, less than a tenth the size of Guyun Pavilion. There are many campfires and cooking utensils on the island, but there are not many people around.
However, next to a cage, I saw a ronin samurai drinking.
Xu Ning made a turn in mid-air and fell back to his position.
The samurai, who was leaning against the cage and almost drunk, looked up and saw Xu Ning in mid-air, and chuckled.
"It seems I really was drunk, to see a tengu appear in front of me in broad daylight."
Xu Ning landed in front of this person, retracted his Wind Wings, looked at him and snorted, "Pathetic!"
He brought Qi Liangliang out of the Hidden Cave and pointed at the samurai who looked like a lump of mud, asking, "I forgot to ask you the name of the sender. It shouldn't be this guy, right?"
Qi Liangliang shook her head and said, "It's not him. Old Man Chai's son is named Chai Men Erlang, and he's a very young man."
Xu Ning nodded, stepped forward, and asked the samurai on the ground, "Excuse me, among the pirates on Blade Island, do you know anyone named Shibamon Jiro?"
The drunken samurai sneered, "That idiot dares to call himself a pirate? Bah!"
He reached behind him and slammed his hand twice on the cage containing a large yellow dog, saying, "The boss wanted to train a treasure-stealing dog using the same methods those treasure-stealing gangs use to train treasure-stealing weasels, and even named it Toratarou, but in the end, it didn't find a single fart!"
"Ever since we met that idiot, who supposedly knows the location of the treasure and is preparing to train a treasure hunter, he's been busy on this deserted island for over half a month, but in the end, he hasn't found a single thing!"
"Now, boss, go deal with that idiot. I'll deal with this dog. You've heard of it? Dog meat, after being cooked three times, even a demon god can't stand firm..."
Xu Ning patiently listened to the drunkard's rambling until he finally got the information he wanted, and asked again, "Where is your boss dealing with that guy?"
"Who knows? That guy's incredibly fast. The boss led a group to chase after him."
Xu Ning sighed, reached out his left hand and used the gourd to knock off the lock on the cage, "Then I'll have to trouble you to lend me your dog and help me find that guy."
The big yellow dog inside, Torataro, rushed out excitedly when Xu Ning opened the door, sniffing and licking at him affectionately.
The drunken samurai on the ground, seeing that Xu Ning had actually released his delicious food, angrily got up, drew his sword from its sheath, and pointed it at Xu Ning, saying, "Who gave you the courage to dare to touch your righteous grandpa's dinner..."
Xu Ning chuckled, about to mock the drunkard for holding his knife upside down, when he suddenly felt a gust of wind around him, and a sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out.
This was the faint whistling sound of a blade rapidly cutting through the air. If Xu Ning hadn't been so keenly aware of the flow of wind, he probably would have missed this tiny sound amidst the drunkard's shouts.
Xu Ning reached out and shielded Qi Liangliang and Yin Taro behind him, glancing at the back of the drunken samurai.
As the drunken warrior stumbled and fell, Xu Ning saw a huge knife wound on his back, which ran from his neck all the way down to his tailbone.
The person who had just unleashed that strike was now revealed to Xu Ning.
It was a dog!
To be precise, it was a giant Shiba Inu wearing a straw hat and carrying a long knife in its mouth.
"This is... a ninja dog?"
Xu Ning looked at the small gadgets tied to the dog's four paws and the four-star dart necklace around its neck. The equipment was very similar to that of the ninja dog he had seen in Tassa. However, Goro's ninja dog did not have the fierce killing intent emanating from the dog in front of him.
Moreover, the scar on the dog's face and the tear in the straw hat from the blade all indicate that this Shiba Inu is a veteran of countless battles and possesses extraordinary strength.
Although the drunkard in front of him was attacked from behind, Xu Ning didn't even realize when it had approached until it drew its knife. This shows the ninja dog's skill in stealth and assassination.
However, after killing the drunkard, it did not continue to attack Xu Ning and the others. Instead, it swung the long sword in its mouth behind its back, raising its tail to wrap the blade around its tail.
Then, the Shiba Inu actually stood up like a person and solemnly barked at Xu Ning.
"What is it going to do?" Qi Liangliang asked Xu Ning nervously.
Xu Ning helplessly shrugged. "I'm a human, how could I possibly understand? You're a great demon, how come you can't understand either?"
Qi Liangliang was slightly angry. "I'm a cat, how could I possibly understand such rude language!"
Xu Ning suddenly remembered that there was a guy in his cave who could understand, so he reached out and pressed on the dragon eye of the gourd, "Aji, come out quickly and help translate."
Master Ji quickly appeared on Xu Ning's shoulder.
"Please translate this for me, what does it want to do?"
The Shiba Inu barked again, and Master Ji said to Xu Ning, "It's not talking to you, it's talking to Torataro. Let it go."
So this guy came to save the big yellow dog that was going to be made into a dog meat hot pot?
Xu Ning smiled, stepped aside, and revealed Torataro.
"If you're not in a rush to go anywhere, could I ask Torataro to help me find someone?"
Torataro poked his head out and barked a few times at the Shiba Inu.
"It said it wanted to take you to find that thing as a reward!"
Xu Ning laughed happily, "Then let's set off quickly, otherwise if that guy gets taken care of by the pirates, we'll have made a wasted trip."
The Shiba Inu seemed somewhat helpless about Toratarou's idea, and chased after him with Xu Ning as Toratarou turned and ran away.
Torataro led Xu Ning north along the beach and finally stopped at a small sand dune near the sea. Then, Torataro began to scratch the ground with his claws.
The dog's digging skills were truly exceptional; in no time, a magnificent treasure chest shimmering with golden light appeared there.
