This situation wasn't like yesterday, but it was just like the day before.
But the day before, it had been Big Fatty and the other three dogs. Today, it was eight dogs.
When dogs suddenly went quiet during a hunt, it meant one of three things. The first was that the dogs had subdued their prey, torn through its hide, and started to eat.
When they were eating, their mouths were full, so of course they wouldn't bark.
The second was what happened after the New Year on Little Gu Mountain, when Huang Gui's six dogs were gored to death or injured by a wild boar.
The moment the dogs fell silent, Huang Gui had panicked. He knew his dogs must have been injured; otherwise, they wouldn't have all stopped barking at once.
The last possibility was what Big Fatty and his group would do: if they couldn't win, they'd turn tail and run back.
