Yu Longting was indifferent, "A dog that survives by feeding on corpses, can it be anything but strange?"

"I mean, the way they look at me." I've always felt that their gazes are not like those of an animal looking at a person.

They don't seem to be sentient animals; otherwise, they wouldn't stomach eating dead bodies.

But hidden within their bloodthirsty and murderous eyes was a deep, mournful sorrow.

It was like receiving a slight knock to the chest, like a helpless prisoner looking up at the sky outside his cage.

Where could an animal express such emotions? It was clearly... like... a person...

Yu Longting put me down, his tone cheerful as if nothing could be hidden from him, "Do you think their eyes look like human eyes?"

"Yes, that's it, Yu Longting... I..." my feet touched the ground, and I steadied myself.

Just as I was about to say something, the cruelty of the truth choked me like an invisible hand around my throat, leaving me speechless.

Breaking out in cold sweats, my mental fortitude really was unmatched.

Luckily, Yu Longting didn't show any contempt, picking up my frightfully cold and trembling hand to warm it, "Yes, you're right. They're human eyes."

"Someone... scooped out their own eyes... and placed them in dogs..." I stammered out the truth.

I think if I looked in a mirror now, my mouth and face would definitely be pale.

Yu Longting wiped the fine sweat from my forehead with a handkerchief, "They are just mobile surveillance cameras, nothing to be scared of."

"The owner of the eyes is watching this place through the dogs? The sacrifice... seems a bit too great, doesn't it?" Not only am I the successor of the Su Family's Yin Yang Embroidery, but I also have the Spiritual Eye.

I am most adept at seeing the essence through the phenomenon. I didn't notice at first glance because I never imagined someone would use such ruthless methods.

With just a hint from Yu Longting, I saw it.

The dogs' bodies had been subjected to a special kind of art, and if I wasn't mistaken, it was Meishan Mountain Witchcraft.

People took out their own eyeballs and gave them to dogs.

Even though they lost their own sight, they could see the world through the dogs' eyes.

To act so desperately... it must be a last resort!

Quite a courageous move!

Of course, it could also be under duress.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much sorrow in their eyes...

Yu Longting laughed unrestrainedly, "A big sacrifice? These dogs have just been the Feng Shui Bottle's watchdogs these past few days, and they're not Qingyang himself."

"So that means, the Feng Shui Bottle is buried in these chaotic graves," I blurted out, but held back a thought in my heart.

Whether it is Qingyang's doing, I can't be sure.

Qingyang has sworn not to harm Yu Longting or me.

Even if he wanted to harm us, he would use someone else to do his dirty work.

So, who is he using to strike at us?

From Yu Longting's sleeves, countless colorful snakes slithered out, attacking the three wild dogs.

The Wild Dogs, sensing danger, turned tail and ran.

But they couldn't outpace the snakes' swift attack; they fell to the ground in agony, to be devoured by the swarm.

"Yu Longting, these dogs clearly grew up feeding on corpses year-round; it's unlikely that they just arrived here recently to guard the Feng Shui Bottle," I commented, looking at the fierceness of the dogs, they certainly didn't look like recent uninvited guests.

Yu Longting slowly walked towards a particularly malevolent spot amidst the chaotic graves, "The Feng Shui Bottle, buried underground, can't influence the Earth Veins nor change the climate in just three or five years; at the very least, it's been twenty years. Wanwan, you... should never blame yourself."

"So the person behind all this has been aiming to strike at the Snake Sect all along?" Wasn't it because of me after all?

But something seems off, all these recent events.

They all seem to be aimed at luring me down the mountain, yet the whole thing was sparked by the Feng Shui Bottle, which has been buried for over twenty years.

Why exactly?

Suddenly, one of the black Wild Dogs, surrounded by the snakes, barked ferociously like a fierce wolf.

It shook off most of the venomous snakes, riddled with injuries, and escaped, still dragging two or three snakes clinging to its tail and legs, managing to hide behind a tombstone.

Then, leaping behind the tombstone, it grimly bit the snakes on its tail and legs to death with its canine mouth and shook them off.

On instinct, I called out softly, "Yu Longting, the Wild Dog... has escaped!"
