Once it exceeded 15 meters, the accuracy immediately plummeted significantly.

Having a clear understanding of his limits, Fang Xiao went to the supermarket and duty-free shops near the hotel.

Over there, he paid a deposit and obtained a pair of binoculars.

Next.

Checking the time, it was about right.

He gathered a few more items.

Then prepared to head to the place agreed upon with Old Dog.

His current equipment:

One diving mask, the prepared long lasso. Binoculars.

And the waterproof backpack on his back containing the lasso.

Besides these, there was also a fruit knife and a kitchen knife.

That was it.

Next, he walked with heavy steps, heading step by step toward that abandoned pier.

Of course, he didn't directly appear at the abandoned pier to face Old Dog head-on.

Instead, after getting close, he found a high ground from where he could see Old Dog's location.

Using the binoculars, he observed the situation around Old Dog.

What he saw through the binoculars was this:

Old Dog was sitting on a large tire at the abandoned pier.

Behind him was the coastline.

On three sides were cement grounds overgrown with weeds.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiao murmured to himself: "Xiao Shui, this must be your spirit in heaven creating this opportunity for me."

"After all, I'm going to use the method you taught me to deal with Old Dog."

After that.

He took the diving mask from his backpack and put it on, then entered the sea from his position.

Secretly swimming toward Old Dog's direction.

The seawater was somewhat cold, but Fang Xiao had been drinking for so long that his entire body felt feverish, which actually helped dispel the chill.

Soon, he swam underwater all the way, reaching the area behind Old Dog.

The place Old Dog had chosen was an abandoned pier.

The shore was overgrown with weeds, with all kinds of messy debris piled up everywhere.

Not to mention the coastline near the pier, which was even more chaotic.

Plastics, metals, all sorts of things were piled up on the coastline behind Old Dog.

Fang Xiao swam underwater all the way to this area, choosing a spot that could conceal his figure, so he wouldn't be discovered by Old Dog and his dogs.

After that, he began measuring the distance between his position and Old Dog.

Current distance: thirty meters.

He quietly observed his surroundings.

Extremely carefully inching his position forward.

Finally, he reached the limit of 25 meters.

He couldn't go any further.

Any further and he would easily be discovered by Old Dog's dogs.

"25 meters, my maximum distance is 15 meters, even one meter more and my accuracy plummets significantly."

"Xiao Shui ah, this time I'm entrusting my fate to you."

"If you want me to lasso him, then I'll lasso him, if you don't want me to lasso him, then I won't."

"No matter what happens, I'll accept it willingly."

Putting his hands together, Fang Xiao sincerely closed his eyes and silently prayed.

The object of his prayers had always been his girlfriend of seven years who had passed away unexpectedly.

Finally, after finishing his prayers, he took off the backpack he was carrying and took out that lasso.

At the abandoned pier.

Fifteen more minutes until 2:30 PM.

Old Dog, just like at noon 12 o'clock, was sitting in his usual spot.

The dogs around him were also like at noon, surrounding him on all sides.

Some were scattered around, vigilantly keeping watch.

Old Dog closed his eyes, silently waiting in his heart for the time to come.

While Old Dog closed his eyes and concentrated, his Cherry Blossom Country Wolf Blue was secretly observing him.

At 2:15 PM, Fang Xiao was originally preparing to throw the lasso.

But right at this moment, a large white dog actually started walking slowly toward his position.

Fang Xiao quickly lowered his body, hiding behind an obstacle.

And he looked at the mud on the ground, smearing the black-gray mud all over his body and face.

This was to conceal his scent.

Quickly, after covering himself completely, he curled up behind the obstacle, closed his eyes, waiting to see if he would be discovered.

If discovered, that dog would definitely bark.

But several minutes passed, according to the speed that dog should have already barked, but it hadn't yet, probably hadn't discovered him.

Fang Xiao quietly raised his head and discovered that large white dog had indeed not discovered him and had turned to leave.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking to himself: "It seems Old Dog trained these dogs to become fierce and cruel fighting dogs, specifically trained in biting and fighting aspects, their sense of smell has degraded significantly compared to ordinary dogs. Of course, it's also possible these dogs aren't search and rescue dogs, if they were professional search and rescue dogs, you couldn't fool their noses."

He raised his head, feeling he could make his move now.

But right at this moment.

He suddenly had a feeling, sensing a gaze watching him from his left side.

Looking to the left, it was the high pier wall, and further up, among the overgrown weeds, was half of a dog's body.

The dog looked like a wolf dog.

Black-gray fur.

It was currently in a commanding position, looking down at Fang Xiao from above.

Fang Xiao thought, it's over, I'm going to be discovered.

But, after a while, he discovered that this dog just kept staring at him, neither barking nor moving.

Even more, he saw a smile on this dog's face.

What kind of smile was that, Fang Xiao couldn't describe it, but it made him feel somewhat creeped out.

"This dog, could it not be from Old Dog's pack?"

"No, it can't be, if it weren't a dog from the pack, but a stray dog, it would already be dead."

Having dealt with Old Dog for so long, he knew all too well what Old Dog's dogs were like.

Old Dog's dogs were vicious toward humans, and even more vicious toward their own kind.

Somewhat like golden retrievers.

Smiling and friendly toward humans, but baring teeth and snarling toward other dogs.

Regardless of this dog's situation, since this dog wasn't barking or alerting Old Dog's side.

Fang Xiao continued with his plan.

He grabbed the rope below the lasso with his right hand, began raising it upward, continuously rotating it, building up force.

While building up force, he murmured to himself:

"Xiao Shui ah, Xiao Shui, you should be watching all this from heaven, right?"

"Success or failure depends on this one move."

He threw it forward with all his strength.

As the lasso flew forward, the rope in Fang Xiao's hand also rapidly flew forward.

"Damn it! It's off target!"

Sure enough, for Fang Xiao whose limit was 15 meters, at this 25-meter distance, it was ultimately off target.

Fang Xiao watched the lasso flying off course, his heart already felt dead.

He had already prepared to dive back underwater and escape.

But right at this moment, he suddenly saw an incredibly unbelievable scene.

The lasso that was originally flying off course was suddenly blown by a gust of wind that arose.

Returning it back to the correct trajectory.

"Is that you? Xiao Shui..."

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiao's eyes instantly reddened.

In his eyes, today at this abandoned pier that had been completely calm until now.

Suddenly a gust of wind came, and it precisely corrected his lasso back on track.

Was this Xiao Shui's spirit in heaven protecting him?

Protecting him to defeat his enemy, just like how he used to be in the boxing ring back in the day.

Old Dog also felt this sudden gust of wind.

But he didn't pay it any mind.

Nor did he have any so-called unusual feeling of impending danger.

After all, he had exactly 59 dogs around him.

He really couldn't imagine what danger he could possibly face?

Unless there was a sniper rifle or some other long-range weapon, otherwise, he truly felt invincible.

"Three more minutes. Has this Fang Xiao still not arrived?"

Old Dog, having sat for too long, felt some soreness in his waist.

Therefore.

He stretched contentedly toward the front.

After feeling tired, stretching was the most comfortable thing.

And during stretching, is when humans are most relaxed and let their guard down.

It was precisely at this moment.

The dogs around Old Dog, as if they saw something, started barking frantically toward his back.

Old Dog opened his eyes, looking at the dogs barking at him.

He scolded: "Wretched beasts, what are you barking at?!"

Old Dog prepared to turn his head to see what was happening behind him.

As a result, that lasso that Fang Xiao had thrown before Old Dog started stretching, suddenly appeared from behind Old Dog, instantly catching Old Dog's neck just as he was about to turn it.

Once the lasso caught Old Dog's neck, it suddenly tightened and pulled backward.

Instantly, Old Dog who was stretching and turning his head was pulled down, frantically being dragged backward by that lasso around his neck.
