Bang!
With a deafening roar, a massive fireball, accompanied by a wave of heat, flew forward and then exploded.
The ridge-backed dog that was charging at the front was thrown back ten meters by the heat and the impact of the flames and fell to the ground.
The remaining Ridgeback had a patch of fur burned off and some burns on its skin, but it was still able to stand up.
At this moment, Gu Ran took out a spirit communication talisman.
Summoning Technique: Lightning Sword Transformation.
He took out the wakizashi spirit that Angers had given him and held it in his hand.
This knife is called 'Namazuo' because its shape resembles the tail of a catfish.
Angers said that the sword was a family heirloom of Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Tokugawa shogunate period. When he went to Japan to collect war spoils, he took a liking to the sword at first sight and brought it over.
Later, in an effort to save face, the islanders created a fake and presented it as genuine, displaying it in a museum for visitors to see.
This sword has the ability to kill the next generation of beings.
The catfish tail blade is 40cm long. Gu Ran held the knife in his right hand with a reverse grip. When he looked ahead, of the original eight vicious dogs, only the two most seriously injured remained.
Where did the other dogs go?
When the two dogs saw Gu Ran stop, they also stopped.
They didn't bark or show their teeth; they just quietly watched Gu Ran, circling around him with him as the center.
Gu Ran did not sit idly by and wait for his death. He circulated his chakra and used the Body Flicker Technique to move behind a dog and slashed with his sword!
Just as he appeared behind the dog, the dog surprisingly reacted and lunged forward to dodge the attack.
But Gu Ran wasn't about to let it go; he fired a kunai from his left hand behind it.
The dog didn't dodge because the kunai wasn't aimed at its body, but it didn't know that Gu Ran had deliberately shot it astray.
The next second, using the mark on the kunai, Gu Ran used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport and then slash!
Flying Thunder God Slash!
This is a derivative technique developed using the Flying Thunder God Technique, requiring extremely fast reaction speed.
Gu Ran had practiced this move hundreds of times in the dream world of Mount Miaomu, and had already mastered it.
The dog didn't even have to react before Gu Ran chopped off its head with a single stroke!
The remaining dog seemed to realize that Gu Ran was not easy to deal with, so it slowly retreated, then turned and ran away.
Gu Ran was taken aback; these dogs were actually afraid.
He immediately chased after him.
These genetically mutated dogs must all be killed in the underground palace; not a single one should be allowed to leave alive!
Otherwise, it will bite people randomly outside, and may even hurt or eat them!
They are small and agile, move extremely fast, are difficult to aim at with bullets, and are also quite intelligent, making them difficult to capture.
Once they escape to the outside world, the Siamese security forces have no way to deal with them, and if the secret society tries to handle it later, it will take even more time and effort.
Gu Ran kept chasing the escaped dog, all the way to the innermost cage, and then he was shocked!
This cage even had an exit that faced the ground.
In other words, those dogs, knowing that Gu Ran couldn't handle them, had already escaped to the ground!
"Gu Ran, several groups of dogs have suddenly appeared outside. The explosions outside earlier were all caused by blowing open the dog cages," Susie hurriedly relayed to Gu Ran through her communication headset.
In the headphones, one could still hear intense, sporadic gunshots.
Gu Ran asked, "Where are you now?"
Susie said, "We set up a defensive line on the second floor of the villa, with three people guarding three directions. These dogs have fine scales on their surface, so Frigga's bullets can't penetrate them. We didn't bring any live ammunition!"
"I see!"
Gu Ran turned and walked into the armory in the basement, opened an empty box, grabbed a few AKs and Desert Eagle pistols, and threw them into the box.
He also found magazines and several boxes of bullets nearby, threw them into the boxes, and took some heavy weapons such as RPGs and grenade launchers, and put them together.
He was glad he had paid attention in his firearms class at Kassel College, otherwise he would have even picked up the wrong AK bullets.
With his eyes closed and sensing Susie's location, Gu Ran teleported away with the equipment on the ground!
Susie suddenly sensed something behind her. Gu Ran appeared abruptly, and several boxes of guns and ammunition fell to the ground with a thud.
When Susie turned around and saw Gu Ran and several boxes of guns and ammunition, she was slightly stunned.
"careful!"
Gu Ran flicked his wrist and threw a kunai, which flew past her ear and went straight into the eye of a dog that was lunging at him!
The black dog froze for a moment and then fell down.
These dogs have an even more terrifying jumping ability than cats; they can jump four meters high in one go.
"Don't get distracted." Gu Ran handed her two AKs and two magazines, patted her on the shoulder, and then went to deliver weapons and ammunition to Xiao Shui and Johnson.
With the AK, a firearm with extremely high lethality and penetrating power, the pressure on everyone was immediately reduced.
The dogs didn't come up easily again.
Johnson then said on the communications channel:
"Roughly estimated, there are nearly fifty dogs here. These dogs have all been injected with some kind of unknown drug, which is speculated to contain dragon genes, causing the dogs' genes to mutate... I have heard that the Soviet Union used such creatures to clean up the battlefield in Afghanistan. They would attack any living animal based on its smell and body temperature."
"So, they'll attack us first?" Susie asked.
“Not necessarily.” Gu Ran spoke up at this moment, recounting his experience just now. “They are driven by self-interest and avoid danger; they have some intelligence and are not simply killing animals.”
At this moment, a large group of the Rocback Hounds did not attack easily.
But they remained surrounding them, silent and still.
“These dogs are never properly fed to maintain their ferocity; they’re all skin and bones,” Susie reported while firing shots. “Through the observation scope, I saw them devouring the corpses of their companions. If we let them eat their fill, they might run away to another place. We should try to use them as bait to lure them to eat us.”
Chapter 164 Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet
Susie was a sniper in the Lionheart Society and had good marksmanship, but even so, the dogs were always moving more than 100 meters away, making it difficult to hit them.
Moreover, these dogs cannot be killed instantly with a single shot; the bullet can penetrate the flesh but cannot incapacitate them.
While the dogs were eating the corpses of their companions, she raised her RPG and fired a rocket at the pack.
But the dogs weren't stupid; they scattered as soon as they saw the grenade coming.
Johnson said, "We should use a grenade launcher; RPGs are too slow."
The initial velocity of an RPG rocket is approximately 150 meters per second, which is then increased to near the speed of sound through acceleration. It has a flight trajectory, giving small, agile targets at a distance of 100 meters ample time to evade it.
"Perhaps it's because the dragon blood infection wasn't severe enough, leaving them with some sense and retaining their instinct for fear, not entirely influenced by their killing intent." Xiao Shui looked at the fleeing mad dogs. "The advantage is that their scales aren't thick, so ordinary bullets can hurt them."
"The downside is, if one dog escapes, it might become a spirit..." Gu Ran asked with a wry smile, "Has it been reported to the execution headquarters?"
Johnson said, "I've reported that they've already contacted the King of Siam, deployed defenses on the perimeter, and are even preparing to send out armed helicopters... How did it happen so quickly?"
Before he could finish speaking, an armed helicopter flew in from the sky, the noise of its rotors echoing through the night.
Immediately afterwards, the machine guns on the armed helicopter turned towards them.
The four reacted quickly; seeing something was wrong, they immediately sought cover to avoid being shot at.
This armed helicopter is very cunning; it strafes from a hundred meters away, not caring about the hit rate, but just using firepower to suppress the enemy.
Gu Ran observed from the shadows with his white eyes. There were only three people on the armed helicopter: a pilot, a machine gunner, and another person observing from the other side.
In addition, there were two cages containing two Tibetan mastiffs.
Gu Ran frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning of putting two Tibetan mastiffs in the armed helicopter.
The machine guns continued to provide suppressive fire, and then someone opened the cargo hatch of the helicopter and threw two Tibetan mastiffs out.
Two large cages crashed to the ground from a height of 100 meters.
Gu Ran had been observing, and he saw that the two Tibetan mastiffs hadn't been killed by the fall, and the cage had been opened.
He had a bad feeling; the two dogs that had been abandoned must not be ordinary species.
He immediately created a shadow clone in a secluded corner where no one could see him, and ran at lightning speed to the ammunition box, carrying over a box of RPG rocket launchers and several grenades.
"Susie, you use this!" Gu Ran withdrew his shadow clone and called out to Susie, "I'll distract it!"
After saying that, he jumped outside to attract the attention of the armed helicopter attackers.
Sure enough, the machine gunner immediately began aiming at Gu Ran and firing, spraying bullets at him.
But Gu Ran moved extremely fast. He ran in an arc, using his Sharingan to observe the movement of the machine gun muzzle, predict the bullet's landing point, and dodge the line of fire.
Because of the distance, it is easy to dodge the line of fire, while the guns on the helicopter have limited firing angles, so in order to find a firing angle to attack, it is necessary to move around.
Just as the helicopter turned, Susie launched the RPG rocket she had been aiming at for a long time.
Armed helicopters are not like dogs; they are large targets and difficult to turn around, so they simply cannot dodge this RPG grenade!
With a loud bang, the helicopter was hit, bursting into flames and teetering precariously in the air.
The helicopter did not explode; it simply crashed to the ground, and then the fuel tank began to leak.
Susie raised her AK and aimed without hesitation or mercy, firing a shot that struck the metal near the fuel tank. The sparks from the friction between the bullet and the metal ignited a fire.
The helicopter that crashed to the ground began to burn, and soon after, several explosions were heard.
Two of the fire figures seemed to struggle for a while in the flames, then remained completely still.
"The dog is coming up!" Susie shouted.
While the armed helicopters were strafing, the dogs seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and by then they had already rushed into the villa.
At close range, firearms become even more difficult to aim, so only melee weapons can be used.
"You all go up to the rooftop and guard the only entrance," Gu Ran instructed. "I'll go to the first floor."
“I’ll help you!” Susie said.
"No need!" Gu Ran refused decisively, having already jumped to the bottom of the stairs on the first floor.
