Seeing that the dark shadow was captured, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief, and came together to see what that daring thief really was.

Black Scorpion Scarred Mark* also stunned to looked at the little things that he pressed under his hands, it has the smooth and supple fur like the finest silk and dainty body, but it's a little bigger than an adult cat, a pair of big round eyes flashed a faint red light against the flames, and a pair of round ears pulled down showing a pitiful expression. If it is not for the “material evidence” still on it's mouth, no one can believe that this cute animal which no one can resist was the “Thief ” just now.

(T/n: Black Scorpion Scarred Mark is Black Mark's full name, i decided to write it from now on, because i want to show that he has full name too, just like Falling To The Silence which shortened as Silence, Black Scorpion Scarred Mark often shortened as Black Mark, it won't change anything though)

Falling To The Silence put away the scimitar and walking back to Black Mark's side, he also squatted down to observe the animal, but the two quickly exchanged a meaningful look when everyone didn't notice. “this is it?”

“d.a.m.n! How dare you steal it! We must kill this fellow!” Extreme Element who had been simmered by the scent of the mouth watering barbecue skewer, seeing that the deliciousness fell into the belly of this little beast, actually couldn't hold back.

“Don't, look how cute it is, isn't it just a little bit of skewer? If you want to eat, I'll make it for you~” Black Scorpion Scarred Mark took the animals on the ground and held them up, blocking the knife that Extreme Element had stretched out, he hurriedly said. The little thing seems to be able to see that Black Scorpion Scarred Mark willing to to protect it, it pretended to make a pitiful look, the furry head went straight into his arms.

There was a sudden flash of sharpness in Falling To The Silence's eyes. (This little beast, it even dare to eat tofu on Black Mark, just wait for a while i must peeled off its skin, pumped it hard, cut its meat, chopped up its bones to feed the chicken!)

Feeling the inexplicable murderous vibe from one direction, the animal unconsciously shook a bit, and drilled into Black Mark's arms even more.

“What do you want this thing for? Dark and swarthy*, how can it be cute?” A Ghost Dragging Knife approached and poked it with his finger, saying with a look of disdain.

(T/n: 黑不溜秋 Dark and Swarthy : is explaining that the dark black color is often described as black and ugly).
“Throw it away!” A certain a.s.sa.s.sin who's throwing the vinegar bottle* said.

(T/n: 打翻醋瓶子 Throwing the vinegar bottle is simply means ‘jealous')
“No, I want to take him as a pet.” Black Scorpion Scarred Mark touched the fur of the animal in his arms, reluctantly said.

“It's useless, throw it away!” Falling To The Silence still doesn't loosen up.

Hearing this, the animal's ear in Black Mark's arms suddenly stood up, and the sound of “grunt” sounded in his mouth. As if it's protesting.

“That's right ah, Black Mark, you see that this thing is not enough meat for a dish to eat. What's the use of collecting pets? If you want pets, what cute pets you can't catch? Do you want this thief? ”

“Uh………” Everyone said a word, and it can be said that Black Mark was also shaken, the hand that was holding it tightly could not help but loosen the force.

“That's it, Black Mark, leave this thief with me, how dare you eat your grandfather's skewer! Hey, look at me, i won't bake you into skewers!” Extreme Element was going to grab the animal in Black Mark's arm. Unexpectedly, Falling To The Silence was a step ahead, he pulled that thing out of Black Mark's arms, carried it by the neck, turned around and left.

“Hey, What are you going to do with it?” Black Mark asked hastily.

“Kill it.”

……………… A cold wind swept through the fallen leaves, everyone can't help but shrunk their shoulders.

“Hey! Hey! Let me go! You bunch of ants, how dare you move this uncle?!!” A burst of roar came from the mouth of the animal that was on Falling To The Silence's hands. If you ignore the milky voice of its, the words sounded a bit majestic, but now this sentence has been exchanged by the low laughter of everyoneafter a brief silence.

The animal struggled to look up and saw the sly smile on the faces of everyone, it can't help but feel annoyed —— I've been fooled!

“Say! What the h.e.l.l are you?” Silence shook his hand mercilessly and the little guy on his hand made an exaggerated arc in the air. He has long thought that this fellow wasn't right, how can a warcraft have that abnormal speed? The flying Eagle King is the fastest warcraft, but compared to it the eagle king is even inferior, if it's not for Black Mark the abnormal agile fellow, it's impossible to catch it at all.

“I am just ordinary Warcraft~.” The watery big eyes flashed, ordinary people will definitely feel guilty in their hearts when they look at it, but it forgot —— the one who's standing here is not ordinary person.

“Can ordinary Warcraft can talk?” Black Scorpion Scarred Mark deliberately bite the word “ordinary” very heavily, saying with smile.

“Emm…” It seems that It did make a mistake, it shouldn't be greedy for stealing the skewer and shouldn't be so careless revealing its ident.i.ty——I'm screwed!

“You're a special NPC, aren't you?” Black Scorpion Scarred Mark brought his face close to it, he learned that Fusu's spring-breeze-like smile, but the hidden blackmail beneath the smile made its ears involuntarily stood up. “I advise you to tell us the truth~ to be honest..My friend's patience is actually very bad.”

In accordance with his words, the sound of Falling To The Silence's Vega Storm “shua” pulled out of his waist, dark cold blade, reflecting the swaying fire scatters the bloodthirsty light. The animal saw the Vega Storm, his eyes jerked a bit, and the original imposing manner faded. Seeing the other's eyes glued to the knife motionless, Black Scorpion Scarred Mark blinked thoughtfully, pretending to inadvertently take out the Taomari and hold it in his arms, just as expected, seeing the Taomari makes the animal's eyes were even more bizarre. This further confirms the speculation in their hearts —— this little fellow must have great background.

“Okay~ Okay, I said it.” Seeing that the lies couldn't keep going, the animal lowered hits head and said helplessly: “I am nothing but a puppy~~~~”

A cold light flashed in Falling To The Silence's eyes, the Vega Storm was lifted up and swung it over its head, scared the little fellow who claimed itself as a “puppy” to scream: “Don't!! Don't! Stop, I said it… In fact, i'm really a dog~~ it's just the gate i guard is more special…”

The gate that it guards is more special? Black Scorpion Scarred Mark's brain turned a few loops and suddenly realized, “It turns out that you are the h.e.l.l guardian dog Cerberus!”

Cerberus: Greek Mythology character

“Yes~” It has been caught by people and its ident.i.ty was exposed again. Cerberus' head hung down.

“Are you kidding me? How can the famous h.e.l.l's three-headed dog got here? Besides, it can't be this small, can it?” Hidden Dragon In The Abyss asked in disbelief.

“That's why I said that i'm a ‘puppy'! If this uncle hasn't been in his infancy, how could you catch it so easily!” The “puppy” is being poked to the pain, it unwillingly said in anger.

“Since you are a h.e.l.l guardian dog, why did you come here?” Black Scorpion Scarred Mark doubtfully asked, shouldn't the so-called door-man leave the door? Isn't it considered negligence?

“This is because the food supplied by the system is too disgusting!!!!” Usually he's not starving to death and he's determined not to touch it, today he suddenly smelled the savory food, it couldn't help the temptation and ran out, it didn't expect after eating a few bites it became a prisoner.

When it brought up the system food, everyone can't help but think of the hard-stone-like dry bread, a sense of fellow sufferers empathize with each other* emerged for this puppy —— It turns out it's not just the player's stomach that's poisoned by the system food~~~

(T/n: 同病相怜 fellow sufferers empathize with each other (idiom) ; misery loves company) 
“The food in the system is really hard to eat~~” Recalling the dry bread that he had eaten in the novice village, Black Scorpion Scarred Mark's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkled.

“Yes ah! Not even 1 per thousandth of the food that this beauty made!” The h.e.l.l Three headed dog immediately nodded and echoed.

Black Scorpion Scarred Mark gently tap the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of cunning flashed through his eyes: “Then why don't we make a deal.”

“What deal?”

“How about I exchanged 10 string of skewers for your canine teeth?”

“20 strings” It immediately reverse the counter-offer.

“Deal!” He answered without hesitation!

Under everyone's stunned eyes, Black Scorpion Scarred Mark smiled exchanging the 20 barbecue skewers to the canine teeth of the h.e.l.l dog……………

The profiteers… Absolute profiteers… Everyone looked with gritting their teeth and thought the same.

“That's right, what do you do if you don't have teeth?” Hidden Dragon In The Abyss asked curiously. After all, the animal's fangs are equivalent to human's weapons, it would be inconvenient to lose it, wouldn't it?

“I'm in the tooth-changing period ah~~ The baby teeth are going to drop sooner or later.” Its mouth was stuffed with skewers, Cerberus indifferently answered. “Hey, beauty, is there anything else? What you're making is so delicious!” 20 strings of skewers were solved in a flash, and the h.e.l.l three-headed dog had no pride rubbing around to the side of Black Scorpion Scarred Mark —— acting spoiled.

“Still want to eat?”

“Yes.”

This stupid dog must have been taken profit again… Looking at the s.h.i.+mmering light in Black Mark's eyes, everyone thought sympathetically.

Sure enough, Black Scorpion Scarred Mark took out a dozen of skewers and put them in front of it: “It's okay for you, but what are you going to trade it for?”

“I am just a dog~ I'm a special NPC, i'm not as well equipped as a monster BOSS, what if I still use my teeth to change it with you~”

“I only need one for the teeth.” Black Scorpion Scarred Mark  look at the other's disappointment and dropping its ears, he smiled and said: “But since you're guarding the gates of h.e.l.l, it should be no problem to give us a few pa.s.ses.”

The puppy, which was very frustrated, lifted its head on time. “Isn't that easy? Take it.”

This… What is this? Everyone looked at the object that suspected as a dog biscuit in its hand, they hung a few black lines on their heads. If they weren't engraved with their respective names, I am afraid that everyone would think that this fellow use its own food to exchange….

“Ah~ I lose it! After for so long, if Lord Lucifer knows he must be freak out~~~” Pick up the barbecue that hasn't been eaten yet, Cerberus shakes its tail towards Black Scorpion Scarred Mark. “Beauty~ i welcome you anytime to come to Abyss of h.e.l.l to play oh~ Don't forget to bring me delicious food~” After that, it turned into a gust of wind that broke into the trees and disappeared.

Everyone looked at the entry pa.s.s and the canine of the h.e.l.l dog in the hand, they're silently speechless…
