Chapter 756: Chapter 10 Heroes (Part 1)_3

Zou Hai glared at the Labrador.

The latter let out a whimper of grievance, but dared not stop massaging shoulders.

"That’s enough..."

Gu Shen gently patted the "evil dog’s" head, and the dog, as if relieved of a heavy burden, ended its act. Finally, under Gu Shen’s gentle patting, it let out a dramatically exaggerated, contented growl.

"Go back,"

Gu Shen said these three words with profound implications.

The big dog leapt behind Vice Officer Zou, not daring to make a move.

"Vice Officer Zou, please thank Quasi-General Lin Lin for me, the welcome ceremony at Gu Castle is really very special." Gu Shen smiled and said, "This is my first time seeing a creature other than humans that has awakened the ’Extraordinary Power.’"

Zou Hai looked helpless and sincerely said, "I’m sorry, Mr. Xiao Gu. On behalf of Quasi-General Lin Lin, I apologize for your experience tonight. We will properly train this labrador evil dog."

...

...

"Woof, woof!"

"Woof woof woof!!"

"Woof!!!"

The sound of the dog barking in the study was impatiently interrupted by a slap, and the thick-skinned labrador evil dog curled its neck, hid in the corner, and fiddled with its paws.

Zou Hai, with a complicated expression, stood by, silently listening to this string of "encrypted voice signals."

This evil dog had awakened spiritual power and actually had a rough understanding of human text and language.

Under the use of "spiritual power," it could convey some messages.

So... the dog language just now was, in fact, effective communication.

It was making a complaint.

"What are you barking about?"

The young Quasi-General, incensed by its lack of resilience, slapped the long table and rebuked, "You’re such a big dog, can’t you save me some worry?"

The Labrador let out a whimper of grievance.

Lin Lin crumpled up the discarded letter on the table and threw it hard at Niuniu’s forehead, viciously saying, "You went to provoke the other side for no reason. It’s bad enough you won the fight, but you even got taught a lesson... you’ve lost face all the way to grandma’s house!"

The evil dog raised its head, emitting a confused woof-whine.

Lin Lin got even angrier: "Idiot, it’s a proverb! My grandma’s house obviously means North Continent, not East Continent!"

The cowering Labrador didn’t dare make a sound.

"My lord... there’s no need to be angry."

Zou Hai gave a bitter smile.

He sincerely said, "I think Mr. Xiao Gu doesn’t seem to want to pursue this matter... Speaking of which, he’s really a bit different from the guests we’ve had before."

Lin Lin fell silent.

He was in the midst of writing a long letter, which he had started and discarded numerous times... Before learning of this incident, most of his thoughts were immersed in that letter.

The beginning of the letter was:

"To my long-unseen sister."

At this moment, Lin Lin completely gave up on writing the letter; after all, he wouldn’t finish it tonight anyway.

He lifted his head and looked at Zou Hai’s face, illuminated by candlelight, lost in memories.

Lin Lin lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke, fully bringing his thoughts back to reality: "What do you think of that young man with the last name Gu?"

Zou Hai pondered for a long time, then slowly said, "What I’m about to say is just my own opinion. Although we didn’t spend much time together, I think he’s a reliable person."

"Reliable?"

Lin Lin chuckled lightly. He knew his vice officer all too well, having worked with him for so long; Zou Hai was always careful and as stable as a mountain.

This was the first time he had heard such high praise from Zou Hai’s mouth.

One must know.

Gu Shen had just arrived at Gu Castle Fortress just two hours ago.

Reliable was a word... that was rather premature to use.

"After the elite team from ’Maze Thirty-Eight’ set out, I’ve always had an ominous premonition," Zou Hai said softly, sincerely adding, "That premonition of doom has been lingering around me, the elite team was wiped out, Hong Zhong returned, and until today, that sense of foreboding has never subsided... It feels as if..."

"Something is about to collapse."

Vice Officer Zou fell silent for a bit and then said, "Perhaps it’s an illusion, but after seeing Mr. Xiao Gu, that unease gradually dissipated..."

Lin Lin listened quietly.

He didn’t interrupt Zou Hai, but after letting him finish, he said meaningfully, "His strength is only at the Deep Sea Seventh Level."

After Gu Shen arrived at the Gu Castle Fortress, Zou Hai was the one responsible for receiving him.

This arrangement, naturally, wasn’t just for idle chatter.

"Yes,"

Zou Hai frowned slightly, recalling the time they had spent together, and said somewhat uncertainly, "Actually, you must have noticed it too, right? When he was dodging the Source Energy Cannon... his strength was already revealed. That’s the level of the Deep Sea Seventh Level."

That fireworks display.

High Order Transcendents had already discerned Gu Shen’s strength.

Even though he put on a "thrilling" close-to-the-face flight, the residual source material in the air and the third-tier Source Armor that he barely managed to control both confirmed Gu Shen’s source material level.

Deep water area, Seventh Level.

"However, I feel that Gu Shen is hiding something. I get this feeling every time I look him in the eyes," Zou Hai continued.

"Woof!"

The Labrador vigorously agreed with a bark.

"Shut up."

Lin Lin gave it a knock on the head and continued to ask, "Eye contact?"

"Yes, when making eye contact, I feel like the young man’s eyes... are like a deep sea hidden within them," Zou Hai murmured, "Looking into his eyes is a very contradictory experience. It feels as though I can see both light and darkness. I suspect this is the influence of spiritual power; his spiritual power may exceed that of the Deep Sea Seventh Level."
