During a hunt, hounds will bark continuously when they encounter prey.
When they suddenly fall silent, it means one of two things.
One, they have subdued their quarry. Their mouths are clamped onto the animal, leaving them unable to bark.
Two, they are all injured. Or dead.
From the moment they charged in to the moment they all went silent, no more than ten minutes had passed for Huang Gui's six dogs.
And their opponent was a massive wild boar, weighing over six hundred pounds, that had already gored eight hounds to death.
Faced with such an adversary, could Huang Gui's six dogs have possibly pinned the boar in such a short time?
Obviously not.
That meant when the dogs fell silent, there was only one other possibility.
Those six dogs were either dead or grievously wounded.
Huang Gui ran forward and saw a small, hunched figure limping toward them.
"Little Bear!" Huang Gui shouted, sprinting over. Zhao Jun and the others hurried to follow.
