"Mister Su, captain… Trust me, it slipped from my mind. I swear!" Chen tried to explain even though he couldn't make himself sound very convincing right then.
Nie Chengkong chose to believe him. He didn't think Chen would willfully cause trouble at such a moment, putting the entire team at risk in the process. That would be too stupid.
On the other hand, Su Ping didn't seem to care. Or, he was glad that the Dark Dragon Hound could freely move outside so they could get rid of the spiders and find the treasure as soon as possible.
"Mister Su, I'll help your hound so it can run back for cover," Ye Chenshan offered. He didn't think the hound was sturdy enough to resist the deadly spider poison, even though it looked pretty fast when fighting the vipers.
Nie Chengkong thought to agree, but didn't get to say anything when he heard the hound roaring again.
