56. Out of the Mud

Without warning, they struck. The four ferocious police dogs pounced on Ah-mo, sinking their teeth into each of Ah-mo's limbs. The sheer force of the dogs caused Ah-mo to tumble over, out of the mud, snapping his neck, and crashing into the dazed and sweaty Ah-moe.

"Ow..." Ah-mo grumbled as a spasm of pain shot through his senses. Having a less complex system of nerves, Plutonians felt a lesser degree of pain that we humans would feel. Breaking a neck for us humans would probably be fatal. To him, it was more like a cracking of a hard knuckle.

"Ah-mo! 不要紧! 我来帮你! Yah..." Ah-moe screamed as he untangled himself from the mess, sinking his teeth into the tails of the police dogs.

1... 2... 3... 4... Ah-moe counted as he bit into each of the dog's tail in a flurry of motion. One by one the dogs released their grip on Ah-mo and scampered off into the distance. One more to go Ah-moe thought to himself and chewed on the last tail.

His front teeth all broke as he clamped down on the black shaft. As he eyed the solid tail, he noticed 2 more black shafts were slowly rising up from the butt of the dog. He looked around and saw 2 identical shafts stuck to the ground. It was then that he realised...

"笨Ah-moe! 哈哈哈哈! 你没有用er!" Ah-mo squealed in laughter.
