Qi Shu did not chase after the larger blobs of the source of life right then. The people who headed over to the restricted area were definitely powerful people that belonged to an organization. Otherwise, they would not dare to go against the government.
It just so happened that a relatively small piece of the source of life flew towards him. He just needed to wait for a while!
Soon enough, the piece of the source of life floated down to a height where he could grab hold of it.
Qi Shu’s legs bent slightly. He then propelled himself forcefully towards the source of life in the air. However, just as his hand was about to touch it, the source of life instantly sped up and evaded his grip.
Qi Shu’s attack was unsuccessful. He swung his hand downward, grabbed onto the telephone pole beside him, and hung from it. He frowned as he looked at the source of life that had left He could definitely have caught those pieces just now.
However, just as he was about to grab it, he felt a distinct sense of resistance within the source of life. It was as if this thing had an instinctive resistance towards him!
“How strange!”
Qi Shu stabilized himself and was about to chase after it again when he saw the source of life fly onto the body of a stray dog by the side of the street and instantly meld into its body.
The stray dog fused into the source of life, and its body, which was extremely thin due to malnutrition, began to tremble slightly. Its body began to fill up and grow slowly.
Its originally dirty fur, old teeth, and dull claws began to fall off.
In just a while, a three-meter-long, one-meter-tall, green wolf with bluish-gray fur, a strong body, and sharp teeth was born. It could no longer be called a dog. It had returned to the roots of its ancestors and turned into a wolf.
It looked like the wolf was hungry. It stared at the creature on the pole. Its mouth wide was open, and its saliva slowly dripped to the ground.
Qi Shu watched the scene unfold before him. It seemed like the wolf was treating him as food. However, he was also very puzzled right now. “Is the source of life only compatible with animals? It won’t allow me to capture it!”
Qi Shu was about to go down and catch the wolf to study it when he saw the girl from his neighbor’s house walk out. She looked around and seemed to have the same thoughts as him. She wanted to find the source of life.
The appearance of Xiaoling meant that other living creatures had appeared. The wild wolf immediately changed its target. With a ferocious look in its eyes, it charged forward.
Even though Xiaoling was pretty strong, she was still a ten-year-old girl. When she saw this situation unfold, she stood rooted to the ground in fear. She did not know how to resist or even dodge.
The moment Xiaoling came out, Qi Shu felt that something bad was about to happen. He stepped on the telephone pole forcefully for leveraget, and instantly traversed more than ten meters using the hungry tiger pounce. He then arrived beside the frightened little girl.
The punch landed squarely on the wolf’s face, causing its eyes to turn bloodshot. It looked like it had been severely injured.
However, the green wolf did not retreat after being injured. Instead, it erupted with the ferocity of a wild beast. It roared and charged forward, determined to tear the creature that had injured it into pieces.
Qi Shu looked at the Green Wolf that was charging towards him and lowered his waist slightly. He made a clever and beautiful Tiger Fist stance. His entire aura was like a ferocious tiger that was ready to strike, causing people to tremble in fear.
Right then, the green wolf finally reacted. The natural suppressive force that Qi Shu exuded instantly made the entire green wolf cower in fear and turn around to escape.
It was impossible for Qi Shu to let go of this target. He had already executed the Tiger Fist, and no creature could easily escape the tiger’s hunting range!
Qi Shu suddenly jumped up and pinned the green wolf to the ground. His fist mercilessly struck its neck.
With a cracking sound, the spine of the green wolf snapped. It struggled for a while before dying.
It was impossible for Qi Shu to let it go. Otherwise, his neighbors would definitely be threatened. His neighbors treated him very well. Since he was here, he did not want them to be threatened.
Qi Shu stood up and was about to leave this place when he suddenly noticed that the green wolf’s body had slowly returned to its original appearance. The source of life appeared once again. It t wanted to escape as soon as it came out.
At such a close distance, it was impossible for the source of life to escape. He grabbed it in his hand, but it continued struggling to escape.
Qi Shu looked at the source of life in his palm and clenched his fist. The source of life turned into specks of green light and fused into his body. The power of the source of life quickly swept through his entire body.
Right then, Qi Shu felt his blood boiling, his bones cracking, and his flesh trembling. He felt as if his entire body had undergone a complete transformation.
This time, the upgrade was not painful at all. It was a comfortable upgrade. He could clearly feel that his strength had broken through. His strength had increased exponentially from the bottleneck of Class 2 to Class 3.
Qi Shu felt the changes in his body and praised, “As expected of the source of life. This was only a small piece of it. If I’d absorbed the huge mass that I’d seen at the very start, I’d definitely soar into the skies!”
Qi Shu grabbed the corpse of the wild wolf and threw it into a nearby trash can. Then, he went to Xiaoling, who was scared stiff. He then patted her head and spoke to her.
“Go home. It’s best if you don’t go out. It’s dangerous outside.”
Qi Shu’s words woke her up. She hugged herself and cried loudly.
“Brother Qi Shu, there’s nobody at home now. Don’t leave me alone at home! I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. I only treated you like that because I thought you never played with me! I’m so scared! Sob sob sob!”
Qi Shu patted her back. She was really still a child. In the face of such a situation, even if she had great strength, most people would be so scared that they would not even be able to use one-tenth of their strength.
Furthermore, Xiaoling had been living with her parents. However, her parents were both government workers, so for some reason, they had to leave their daughter at home. Thankfully, she had met him, or it would have been a disaster.
Qi Shu squatted down and gently wiped her tears away before saying, “Alright, stop crying. You can go to my house first. I’ll call your parents later and get you settled in a safe place.”
Qi Shu could not leave the child alone. He brought her home and contacted her parents.
Xiaoling immediately nodded and said, “Brother Qi Shu, I…I will listen to you!”
Qi Shu then brought her to his house. He glanced at his watch. He needed to go back too. It was almost time to collect the reward. He would decide his next move after collecting the reward.
