On their way past the farm, they saw Proteus again.
This time, however, Proteus excitedly bounded over, calling out to Tian Kui.
"Where are you guys headed?"
"Let me come too!"
Tian Kui couldn't be bothered with him. A couple of days ago, after getting off "work," this guy had wandered out for some reason and tried to start a fight with Tian Kui and his crew.
Naturally, he got his ass handed to him and immediately learned his lesson. Now, seeing Tian Kui, he was more eager to please than when he saw his own master.
When Tian Kui ignored him, Proteus didn't mind and quickly fell in behind the group.
Excluding him, there were eight dogs in the group.
He tagged along at the very end, following their every step, his head held high.
Tian Kui had assumed their target was nearby, but they left the small town and, to his surprise, ran a good five or six kilometers without stopping.
"How much farther are you going to run?"
Tian Kui barked at Da Mei.
