On the field, after the shepherd dogs had gathered the flock of sheep, they started herding them forward. Just like in the Eastern region finals, the flock of sheep gradually picked up speed. Even if they took a little longer to gather the sheep than the previous two teams, they could still make up for the difference based on the speed at which they herded the sheep.
Wu Yi and the others in the viewing hall were getting more and more excited. Zu Wen and the others were even roaring until their faces were red.
The road ahead was narrowing, and there was an obstacle in the middle. If they wanted to pass, they would have to make the flock even thinner or they would have to split up.
Su Hou applied for on-the-spot guidance and gestured to Curly Hair and Bingo, indicating that they would lead the dogs on both sides to split up.
Fang Zhao, who had been staring at the screen, narrowed his eyes. He saw that as Curly Hair ran, he would bark a few times. He was giving instructions!
This sort of leading dog barking to give instructions to the other shepherd dogs was not rare, so no one paid it much attention. However, Fang Zhao, who had been watching Curly Hair closely, realized that before Su Hou had made the signal, Curly Hair had already started to accelerate. This meant that Curly Hair's judgment of the situation might even be a step faster than Su Hou's! If Su Hou had not applied for on-the-spot guidance, what would Curly Hair get the other dogs to do? Fang Zhao had no way of guessing.
When the flock of sheep encountered the obstacle in front of them, they split into two groups, from "Y" to "Λ," and then gathered together again. Throughout the entire process, the speed of the flock of sheep did not change at all. Although Bingo's group was a step slower, overall, the process was still very smooth.
The people in the viewing hall were about to go crazy with excitement when they saw the prompt display on the top right corner of the screen.
The only person in the hall who was calm was Fang Zhao, who was analyzing Curly Hair's behavior.
Curly Hair had already learned how to lead the other dogs on the field to coordinate with the shepherding. He had already adapted to being a "leader" on the field. Besides strength, he also had brains.
The more difficult the challenge, the faster he grew.
His appearance had not changed, but his innards were changing every day. Would his intellect soon be the same as that of an average adult?
Fang Zhao did not know if bringing Curly Hair to Muzhou was the right decision, but from the looks of it, Curly Hair did not seem to be a threat.
...
While the competition was going on in the stadium, the police officers guarding the airport gate were not as busy as before, but they still had to stay here to prevent any accidents from happening.
The extended platform of the stadium had been retracted, and the stadium was sealed off. The sound of the audience inside was completely isolated. They could only hear the commentator's voice coming from the stadium. Occasionally, they could hear a few inconspicuous barks coming from the open-air grass field during the commentator's pause.
However, the previous two matches had been normal. Once the Dongshan Farm match started, things started to go wrong.
The police dogs let out a low growl, but this time they didn't bark. One reason was that they were far away, so they didn't feel that the danger was too strong. The other reason was that they were instructed not to bark loudly during the competition, because it would disturb the dogs in the field.
It wasn't just one dog that reacted this way. The police dogs distributed around the huge arena all had the same reaction.
The lips on both sides of the police dog's mouth curled up, revealing its sharp canine teeth. Its eyes were filled with an ominous glint, and it kept growling.
"Captain, what do we do?" someone asked.
The police captain had already received similar reports from the people scattered around the arena. After asking for the specifics, he discovered that it was all the same. It was only when Dongshan Farm appeared that the police dogs started to growl. This hadn't happened when the first two teams appeared.
After thinking for two seconds, the police captain spoke to the other team members through the comms, "If the police dogs only growled at the field, don't move. Wait until Dongshan Farm's match is over, then report back to me."
The competition was still going on. The people stationed here couldn't see the live broadcast, but they could tell from the commentator's increasingly excited tone that Dongshan Farm's sheep-herding was almost over. They had already passed all sorts of obstacles, and their results were pretty good.
"In the pen!"
"All in the pen! Not a single one missing! Four minutes and forty-nine seconds! "
The commentator roared, "Four minutes and forty-nine seconds! Better than last year and the year before! This is the best result in the past five years! Only five seconds away from the record! "
The police officers outside the arena looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy, and they made a peace sign.
They had all placed their bets on Dongshan Farm winning first place. This result was already outstanding enough. If there were no surprises, they would clinch first place.
The police captain looked at the police dogs. Their growls had gradually stopped, and their ferocious demeanor had receded. The team members who were spread out in other areas also reported the situation there. They were all the same.
"Alright, everything is normal. Don't get distracted. Keep watching," the police captain said.
Just five seconds short of breaking the first round record was a bit of a pity. However, for Fang Zhao and the others in the viewing hall, this was enough to excite them. This result was enough to crush most of the teams participating in the first round of the finals!
There were still five teams left, but the atmosphere in the viewing hall was much more relaxed. When Su Hou and the seven shepherd dogs returned, Wu Yi wished he could kneel down and kiss the seven dogs one by one.
After the veterinarian gave them a checkup, someone came over to feed them water, massage them, and relieve their fatigue. The seven dogs enjoyed better treatment than humans.
Fang Zhao glanced at Curly Hair. Curly Hair had just drunk some water and was enjoying the massage. When he saw Fang Zhao looking over, he wagged his tail vigorously, as if asking for praise. He looked no different from the other dogs.
Fang Zhao smiled and gave him a thumbs up. He retracted his gaze, but he was even more puzzled. Was Curly Hair's change really related to his rebirth? It seemed like he had to find some time to go to the black street and ask around after the competition.
"There are still five teams left. Let's keep watching!" Wu Yi collected his emotions and sat down to continue watching the competition.
Every time a team finished, Wu Yi would heave a sigh of relief. Those teams had not taken any less time than them. Shoubei Farm in the Eastern region also had a good time, 5 minutes and 13 seconds. They were in the top four.
Of the five teams behind, the best was a farm in the Western region. They had also taken five minutes, but their time was 4 minutes and 58 seconds, nine seconds more than Dongshan Farm.
Teams that could enter the finals were all very outstanding. The first round's results were not that far apart, but without a doubt, Dongshan Farm's results were indeed eye-catching.
When all eight teams had finished their matches, the sealed stadium once again opened up. The previously quiet stadium suddenly became noisy. They were still discussing the previous matches. Some were happy, some were worried, some were laughing, and some were angry. These were all people who had spent a large amount of money on their bets. However, some were able to get back double the amount, while others could only watch as the money they had bet became someone else's.
After the competition, Wu Yi and Su Hou had to bring their dogs through the competitors' exclusive passageway. They had to undergo post-competition inspections and be assigned a dog carriage. They also had to be interviewed. The organizers had people to protect them. Su Hou and Su Feng had also hired people to protect them, so there was no need to worry about their safety.
Fang Zhao brought Zu Wen and the others through another public passageway to exit the competition hall.
Fang Zhao had just left the competition hall and was thinking about Curly Hair's problems when he heard someone call out to him from behind.
"That person in front, Fang... Fang something... Right, Fang Zhao! Hey, Fang Zhao! "
Fang Zhao turned and looked in the direction of the voice. The others also looked back curiously. When Su Feng saw the person running over, his face twitched involuntarily.
"Zaro Renault?" Fang Zhao looked at the sloppy looking young man running over and recalled Great General Renault's temper. If Renault was still alive and saw his descendant behaving like this, he would probably be so angry that he would take action, right?
Zaro's assistant, who was following closely behind, held two cups in his hands. One was filled with alcohol, the other with a cold drink. Another bodyguard, who was following closely behind, was holding a fan and blowing at Zaro.
After Zaro ran over, he twirled his glasses and turned his head. The assistant hurriedly passed the cup of cold drink over. After slurping a few mouthfuls, he kept the cup and stood still.
After drinking the cold drink, Zaro smacked his lips and sized up Fang Zhao. "The one who created Polar Light was you? Forget it, we'll talk about other things later. "As he spoke, he looked left and right but could not find the dog he was looking for.
"Where's your dog?" Zaro asked with an air of "I'm the boss".
Zu Wen and the others immediately went on guard. Did this idiot have designs on their Curly Hair?!
"Walk to the other side for the inspection," Fang Zhao said.
"When can it come out?" Zaro asked again.
"No idea."
"Then forget it. I heard that Curly Hair is your dog?"
"That's right," Fang Zhao replied.
"Are you selling it? Name any price! "
