Animal Detective

Chapter 104 Even if you beat someone into submission, they still submit.

The best outcome is that the girl wasn't bitten.

The mother and daughter thanked each other profusely before leaving.

Passersby around Shen Xin also gave him a thumbs up and cheered.

Of course, there were also plenty of compliments for Black Panther.

It looks imposing and fierce; its movement to pounce on the stray dog ​​was swift and ruthless.

It chased away the stray dog, and then came back by itself, biting the leash. It's incredibly clever.

Black Panther seemed to enjoy the praise, proudly puffing out his chest.

"Alright, everyone go buy groceries. In the future, if you encounter stray dogs, try not to feed them directly to avoid trouble." Shen Xin gestured for the passersby to disperse.

Shen Xin deduced that the two stray dogs had attacked the mother and daughter because the girl had fed them chicken legs, and the dogs, being greedy, wanted more.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Shen Xin recalled what the woman had said earlier.

They say there are more and more stray dogs in the neighborhood.

This is not a good thing.

This is a farmers' market, and there are many people coming and going.

Many of them were accompanied by children.

Once these stray dogs form a pack, they will only become more and more arrogant.

Shen Xin guessed that it was probably the tiger-striped creature mentioned by the door and window shop owner that was causing trouble, gathering a group of henchmen to do evil.

Dogs and cats are different.

The bully was a lone wolf; he would bully whoever he didn't like.

Dogs are social animals, living in packs and forming cliques. If they gather in large numbers, it can be a problem.

Since he was already looking for this tiger stripe, Shen Xin decided to catch the kingpin first.

"Black Panther, find that white dog from earlier."

With a 4-point favorability rating and Black Panther being intelligent, Shen Xin directly issues orders.

The blue and yellow dog was badly bitten and will probably hide away to recover.

As for the white dog, having been bitten, it will probably run back for comfort. Following it might lead you to the tabby dog.

Black Panther understood and immediately followed.

The white dog was bleeding, and it smelled fresh.

We followed this road straight ahead and then circled into Xiaoyuan Third Village.

This is an old residential area with no property management, and it's easily accessible from all directions.

The scent was very consistent, and the black leopard didn't even stop to distinguish it before leading Shen Xin through Xiaoyuan Third Village and into the landscaped greenery outside.

Nanjiang likes to do greening, and there are many green plants in these nooks and crannies.

The buildings are quite well-maintained, but some are small and you can reach the end of the road in just a few steps. In contrast, there is a Hongtu Square in front of Xiaoyuan Third Village, where residents go, and few people come here.

The black panther suddenly stopped and barked a few times at the green belt in the distance.

The next moment, just like in a movie, you walk into a secluded alley, you stop, and then several assassins emerge from the hiding place ahead.

Five stray dogs suddenly emerged from the bushes in the green belt in front of Shen Xin.

The white dog was among them.

Shen Xin also saw the tiger stripe that the boss had mentioned.

As the owner said, it is indeed tiger-striped, but very light, with few other colors. It has upright ears, and unlike the common tiger-striped ones, it has a broad and sturdy build, and its body is more slender.

I wonder what kind of mixed breed it is.

It stared at Shen Xin from afar with fierce eyes, emitting a low whimper, as if as a warning.

It's as if it's saying, "Humans, this is my territory. If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave now."

It was impossible to leave.

Shen Xin thought that if this budgie was good at fighting and intelligent, it could definitely be used as a riot control dog.

Of course, it has a history of being a wanderer, so its personality may be unstable.

But it's okay, I already have a good impression of you.

Once you've built up a good impression, everything will be fine.

Moreover, given how much trouble it has caused in the area, it must be eliminated.

The problem now is how to subdue them; increasing their favorability through food is clearly not an option.

For stray dogs that act like bullies, it seems best to use a combination of kindness and strictness.

Even if you defeat them, you still have to submit.

Shen Xin untied the dog's leash, looked around, and spotted a stick supporting a tree.

With a strong pull, it came off.

Shen Xin pointed to the tiger stripe in the middle and said, "Black Panther, this one is mine, the rest are yours."

There were five dogs in total. The white dog had been taught a lesson by the black panther and was no longer capable of fighting. Now it kept its tail between its legs.

If we eliminate the tiger and leopard, then there will be three left.

One of them was so tiny it probably wouldn't even be big enough for the black panther to bite.

Therefore, he should have no problem fighting two opponents at once.

This can be considered a practical combat lesson for Black Panther.

Black Panther remained silent, awaiting the order to attack.

Shen Xin felt the wooden stick in his hand was too long, so he snapped it in half with a snap.

With the two sticks in hand, it felt just right.

Then he directly charged forward with Black Panther.

Several stray dogs paced restlessly in circles, and the tabby barked twice.

But Shen Xin remained unmoved and pounced straight at him.

The speed is really fast.

However, Shen Xin had some training, and he aimed his right hand and swung the stick.

It didn't hit.

This tiger-striped bird is incredibly agile.

Black Panther had already charged at the remaining stray dogs, tearing them apart. Despite being fully vaccinated, he showed no fear.

The tiger-striped creature seemed to understand tactics; when its first attack failed, it landed and tried to flank the enemy.

Shen Xin spotted him and swung the wooden stick with his left hand, hitting him squarely on the head.

He remained silent for a moment, then lunged at Shen Xin again.

Shen Xin then swung his right arm in a wide arc and swept it out horizontally.

We hit it.

The tiger stripe was swept to the ground, but it rolled on the spot and pounced again.

Shen Xin continued swinging the stick.

The police baton wasn't used for nothing; it struck the dog directly on the head.

That was a powerful blow; it was knocked to the ground and no longer dared to attack indiscriminately.

But the fact that it didn't run away immediately is enough to show how aggressive it is.

Shen Xin bent down to pick up the stick that had been thrown, but the dog immediately pounced on him.

Shen Xin decided to treat it as an opening and still swept it out with the stick.

With a snap and a mournful cry, the stick broke in two.

Although it's as thick as a child's arm, it's been exposed to wind and sun for a long time and is no longer sturdy.

"come!"

Shen Xin grabbed half a stick and shouted at it.

It lay on the ground, baring its teeth at Shen Xin, both fearful and fierce.

By this time, the remaining stray dogs had all been chased away by the black leopard.

Stray dogs are already quite weak in combat, let alone a black panther of such a large size.

It turned its head and pounced directly on the tiger stripe.

It still bites the neck.

The tiger-striped tiger turned its head to dodge, but was bitten on the leg. It then turned its jaws around and bit the black panther.

The two dogs immediately started fighting.

Soon, the tiger stripe was suppressed due to the size difference.

Shen Xin seized the opportunity and stepped forward, pressing down on Tiger Stripe's waist and head, pinning him firmly to the ground, just like apprehending a suspect.

The black panther barked incessantly beside them, ready to pounce at any moment.

At first, the tiger-striped animal struggled, but after being restrained for a while, it stopped moving.

Its cry changed, turning into a fearful whimper.

And the next moment, a favorability icon appeared above his head, and it jumped to 2 bars in one go.

Sure enough, even if you're beaten into submission, you still have to submit.

Shen Xin then let go.

It lay prone on the ground, with a black leopard watching it menacingly.

But his eyes still held a hint of defiance, even revealing a touch of cunning.

With a favorable rating, Shen Xin could clearly sense its emotional changes.

So when it saw an opportunity and got up to run away, I smacked it on the nose with a stick.

Hit the dog by hitting its nose.

The tiger-striped tiger curled up in pain after being hit with the stick.

The favorability rating above my head increased by 2 bars again.

"Are you still going to run away or not?"

Shen Xin said in a deep voice.

The tiger let out a soft whimper and remained motionless.

"stand up."

Shen Xin scolded again.

Shen Xin will show a stern side when dealing with bullies, who are animals that can be subdued by beating.

This tiger-striped creature must be really smart, able to see the situation clearly. And after gaining favor, its obedience was also evident, as it immediately stood up.

"Come here and squat down."

Shen Xin pointed to the front.

The tiger hesitated for a moment, then actually ran over and squatted down.

Shen Xin took out some beef jerky from his pocket and gave one to Black Panther as a reward.

This guy did a great job today.

"Black Panther, well done! I'll give you extra food when we get back," Shen Xin praised again.

If you want to improve someone's favorability, you have to speak up and express your closeness.

The market is over there; I'll go buy some beef later.

With a shift in his gaze, Shen Xin took out another piece of beef jerky and threw it directly in front of Tiger Stripe.

"eat!"

The tiger-striped creature remained unmoved, its eyes still darting around, likely still plotting its escape.

Shen Xin slapped it across the face.

"eat."

Shen Xin pointed to the beef jerky on the ground.

Tiger Stripe's gaze softened a bit, but he still seemed somewhat unconvinced.

It lowered its head and bit into the beef jerky.

then……

It was stunned for a moment, its eyes lighting up instantly; it probably had never tasted such delicious beef jerky before.

They eagerly chewed it up and swallowed it.

When he looked up at Shen Xin again, his eyes changed, and there was a hint of ingratiation in them.
