Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then figured that she should first fix the snake some food.

At that moment, she heard a series of footstep sounds, which were clearly made by a four-footed animal.

Hearing the familiar footstep sound, the snake which had buried its head into its coiled body immediately reared up its head vigilantly and stared at where the footsteps sound was coming from. Its body was twitching slightly as it was ready to start running at any moment.

The zombie dog came back as it was too bored. It seemed to have sensed the snakes vigilance, so it stopped a few meters away. It thought for a moment, then took a circle around the snake and ran to Lin Qiaos side.

As the dog seemed to give up on chasing it, the snake didnt crawl away immediately, but didnt stop twitching either. It wanted to run, but it was too tired to do so.

Lin Qiao gave Bowwow a kick and said to it, Look at you! How you can bully it when its covered in wounds and exhausted? Youre taking advantage of its misery, and that is wrong. Do you understand?

After saying that to the dog, Lin Qiao gave it a second thought and found it not exactly right. So, she added, Well, its not like you can never do that. It depends on whos your target. This one is not your enemy now, so you cant bully it when its injured. Do you understand?

Ow? Bowwow looked at Lin Qiao with confusion. It knew nothing but how to attack and grasp an opportunity to end its opponents when they were weak.

The dog just didnt understand what Lin Qiao said.

Lin Qiao continued to explain, Since you want to play with it, you need to think about its condition. Imagine, if youre as exhausted as the snake is, but someone still chases you every single day, would you feel good?

Ow? Roar!No! Ill bite it to death!

Bowwow figured out Lin Qiaos meaning and had its look changed. It bared its teeth and gave a fierce roar.

Lin Qiao spread her hands and said, Exactly! I think the snake wants to bite you to death now.

While speaking, she pointed at the giant snake.

Ow Bowwow stared at the snake and fell into deep thoughts.

Lin Qiao stood beside it and crossed her arms as she continued, If you want the snake to play with you, you need to let it recover first. Now, Im going to send you out. You should go and catch some large rats to feed it. Perhaps, itll have the energy to play with you when its no longer hungry.

Ow! Bowwows eyes glowed instantly. It happily looked at Lin Qiao, clearly agreeing with her idea.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, So later on, Ill put you into the rat woods. Try to bring back lots of rats.

By now, she called the woods near the sweet potato field the rat woods, because the zombie dog had been catching rats in that place for many days, and there were still more in that place.

Ow! Bowwow looked at Lin Qiao expectantly, waiting for the latter to let it out. So she grabbed its tail and threw it out of the space.

After that, she turned herself invisible and hopped onto the rock by the woods. She saw that Xie Dong and the others had already started to loosen the soil.

They were using the shovels and hoes that Lin Qiao found from a park earlier to put the small piles of soil which were dug out by the group of level-four zombies back into the ground.

They had also been digging through the untouched area of the field to loosen the soil.

Bowwow was good at catching rats, so most of the rats near the field had been scared far away by it. Hence, it needed to go further away to catch rats and bring them back.

Lin Qiao didnt spend too much time on the rock before she saw the dog come out of the woods with a yellow rat.

This kind of rat was smaller than the normal rats, and its fur was hard.

Squeak! The rat which Bowwow caught was still alive, and had been struggling energetically.

Ever since Lin Qiao told it not to bite through the skin of its prey, Bowwow started to like it this way. It gave it a better sense of achievement.

It came back with the yellow rat and looked around, but failed to see a trace of Lin Qiao. With confusion, it followed its own tail and made a circle.

Lin Qiao stood on the rock and watched the dog while laughing silently. When the dog circled for a few more times, she leaped off the rock and gently gave it a kick.

Ow? Bowwow took fright when the invisible Lin Qiao kicked it. It relaxed its bite and bared its teeth, roaring at the surrounding area. However, it was stunned upon seeing nobody around it. But soon enough, the dog realized that it was no one else but Lin Qiao.

It was aware that Lin Qiao was able to turn invisible.

After figuring out what had just happened, it immediately forgot about the fact that Lin Qiao kicked it on the butt. Instead, it hurriedly chased the rat which had just fallen from its mouth and was trying very hard to run at the moment.

The poor rat didnt manage to run far, as it was caught by the dog again.

Squeak!

Bowwow brought the rat back to the stone, then sat by the stone and raised its head to look at the air, as if it knew that Lin Qiao was up there.

It had no idea that Lin Qiao was actually behind it.

She dragged the dogs tail and brought it back into her space.

In the space, Bowwow quickly turned back to look at Lin Qiao. Seeing her, its lusterless eyes started glowing again.

Lin Qiao crossed her arms before her chest, then pouted her lips toward the woods and said to the dog, Go, bring it to the snake by yourself.

Bowwow instantly turned and happily darted to the woods while Lin Qiao slowly followed behind it.

Bowwow followed the giant snakes vibe and ran up to it, then found that the snake was still lying there without moving. Its head was buried in its coiled body again. Sensing the zombie dog coming, it only moved slightly to expose its flat head, then looked at the dog with its narrow, rhombic, dull eyes.

However, its eyes glowed on seeing the living rat in the dogs mouth.

It was tiny, but could still make a meal. After all, the snake was starving already.

Bowwow held the rat which was as big as a young cat in its mouth and stood three meters away from the snake, looking at it.

Lin Qiao was standing on a branch behind the dog. The snake had already been attracted by the scent of the rat, but was still looking at the zombie dog with vigilance.

Lin Qiao understood that the snake was no longer as afraid of the dog as before. The dog chased it every day, but had barely hurt it.

It was just super annoying!

So now, as the snake was exhausted and starving, it decided not to move. Seeing the living rat in the dogs mouth, the sense of hunger had occupied it mind. It was only staying on alert instinctively.

Bowwow spent a few seconds gazing at the snake, then slightly lowered its head. After that, it glanced back at Lin Qiao who was on the tree. Next, it turned back, raised a paw, and made two tiny steps toward the snake.

The snake didnt move, but fixed its eyes on the dog. It raised its head slightly higher and looked at the zombie dog with confusion. Clearly, it hadnt figured out what the zombie dog was trying to do.
