Awesome!
Li Song’s heart was filled with excitement as he felt the power in his body increase once again.
Was this what leeching felt like? Awesome, awesome!
The pet was responsible for fighting, but the growth in strength was shared with him. It was simply wonderful!
The effect he felt now was much more realistic than in the game. Besides, who would not have a dream of gaining superpowers?
Even if one did not, having an indestructible body was something that most people could not reject. Li Song’s previous body was not considered good at all.
If even Li Song felt so good, there was no need to mention Bull Two. It was even more excited than him!
It’s back!
Its strength was back!
It was still that familiar super-speed growth rate, and it was the familiar power that far exceeded those of its own race!
Although it did not know what was going on, there was a piece of memory in Bull Two’s mind. In that memory, it was a weak Abyssal Tauren who followed its master from the beginning. Bit by bit, it reached the pinnacle of this world!
It did not know why it suddenly lost all its strength and became as weak as it was now.
However, it was fine as long as its master was still by its side.
In its heart, Li Song was the person closest to it in the world. It did not care about anyone else, including its parents. In fact, in its memory, there were very few memories of its parents. It only remembered that it used to live in a dark abyss.
Moreover… it did not know where its other companions who had followed its master back then were now…
However, this did not matter. When it was strong enough, it would help its master gather all those companions!
Everyone had to be found!
“Eh?” At this moment, Li Song’s eyes suddenly focused as he let out a surprised cry.
Beside the Rock Tossing Lizard’s corpse, a shining object had appeared out of nowhere. He walked forward and picked it up with a strange gaze.
It was a grayish-yellow hexagonal crystal the size of a fingernail.
“This is… a beast core?”
Li Song’s expression was somewhat strange. The beast core should have been inside the Rock Tossing Lizard’s body, but now it had fallen to the ground outside.
This was an… item drop?
Was there even such a function? This was clearly a manifestation of the game!
Although he had guessed it before, when it really happened in front of Li Song, he still felt confused.
However, he did not think too much about it. He stuffed the beast core into his pocket. This would save him a lot of trouble and he did not need to dissect the beast anymore. The beast core was very useful. It could be directly absorbed in the game and could be converted into some experience points. If his stamina was not enough, it could also be used as food.
This was only a low-level beast core. High-level beast cores would often be embedded in various magical artifacts, which could increase a person’s strength to a certain extent.
After taking one last look at the corpse, Li Song brought Bull Two and rushed to another street. There were also some useful items on the Rock Tossing Lizard’s corpse, so he simply stuffed everything into that warehouse of his.
Among the densely packed compartment slots, there was a Rock Tossing Lizard corpse.
At this moment, on another street, there were also Rock Tossing Lizards wreaking havoc. Rock shells bombarded both sides of the street, and from time to time, they would enter the shops and stuff raw meat and concrete into their stomachs. The larger ones would directly hit their heads on the concrete and eat it with their sharp teeth, making crisp cracking sounds.
Within a short period of time, a portion of the streets seemed to have been cleared by a bomb. Several houses collapsed and dust rose.
Fortunately, the surveillance cameras were installed on the iron pillars and the Rock Tossing Lizards were not interested in destroying these things. Therefore, the surveillance cameras were always there, which made it easier for Li Song to observe them.
This was the power of technology.
The choices made by humans throughout the long history were not completely useless in the face of supernatural powers. Of course, this was only relative.
Now, it might be useful to deal with an Ordinary-rank monster. When Elite-rank monsters appeared later on, even tank cannons might not be able to kill them.
However, after this incident, Li Song estimated that it would not be long before surveillance cameras would be installed all over Shanghai. This thing was not worth much, but it was obviously very useful to be able to detect the location of the [Release] point.
At least it made things easier for Li Song…
Very quickly, the man and beast arrived at the second street. It was still a street full of bars. There were quite a lot of such streets in the Radiant Crystal district. Drinking was good entertainment after all.
There were two Rock Tossing Lizards on the street as Li Song looked over.
[Rock Tossing Lizard (Ordinary Level 2)]
[Rock Tossing Lizard (Ordinary Level 2)]
Suddenly.
His vision blurred, and one of the [Rock Tossing Lizards] suddenly jumped from Level 2 to Level 3.
It leveled up?
These monsters could level up?
This was obviously not good news.
The Rock Tossing Lizard that leveled up let out a carefree roar. It lowered its head and continued to chew on the concrete on the wall, its mouth creaking.
Li Song’s expression did not change, nor did he advance recklessly. He remained hidden, waiting for an opportunity to deal the two monsters a fatal blow.
He had planned to do this originally.
But at this moment, his gaze changed. The door of a small tavern on the street suddenly opened, and a figure staggered out from within, followed by a large black dog.
He looked over.
It was a woman in a black office attire, the most common appearance in Shanghai.
The big black dog beside her was called the [Black Earth Demon Hound], a big dog with the potential to reach the Overlord-rank.
Li Song cursed silently. Why would there be a person on this street at this time?
Actually, Zhang Xiaoxue was also very confused. Today, they had just finished a project and she brought a few employees here to relax. The people working under this project had worked hard for a long time, so she took it as a little vacation for everyone.
In the end, she accidentally drank too much. When she woke up, she heard the ruckus outside. There was also a new breed of dog beside her that she had never seen before. She did not hate it, and even wanted to bring it home to raise. When she looked at the time, it was almost four in the morning.
“No one called me?”
“This is how they treat their boss? Tsk!”
As for why there was no one in the bar, Zhang Xiaoxue did not think much about it. However, when she staggered out of the door and saw two lizards the size of cars on the street, she was dumbfounded.
“Grr…”
The Black Earth Demon Hound went in front of Zhang Xiaoxue. It lowered its body and let out a threatening growl.
“Buzz!”
The two Rock Tossing Lizards let out excited roars. Their limbs moved quickly, and their bodies were like two trucks as they charged forward!
Zhang Xiaoxue stared at the scene in front of her with her mouth agape. For a moment, she was frozen in fear. Her body wanted to move, but her legs were so soft that she could not use any strength.
“Moo!”
At this moment, a small figure suddenly rushed out.
It had two sharp spiral-shaped horns on its head that seemed like there were blood grooves on it, and even by including the length of the horns, it was only 1.78 meters tall. Yet, it charged straight towards the two Rock Tossing Lizards.
This scene actually looked a little heroic.
“Monsters fighting monsters?”
Zhang Xiaoxue was about to go crazy. This lizard that was the size of a small car aside, why was there a Tauren as well?!
Was this something that could appear in the real world?
Although the Tauren seemed to be here to save her…
The next moment, the two collided.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out. What Zhang Xiaoxue did not expect was that the Tauren, which looked much smaller, actually blocked the Rock Tossing Lizard with both hands. The ground beneath its feet cracked slightly, and its two long horns moved crazily. In a moment, the Rock Tossing Lizard’s top was riddled with holes!
Blood gushed out like a fountain!
However, the danger was not over yet. After all, there was only one Tauren. The other Rock Tossing Lizard was already charging towards them rapidly. A huge rock appeared on its arms like a cannonball.
Swoosh!
Another enormous sound of the air being torn apart resounded like sharp objects tearing through the air!
“Hiss…!”
A railing stabbed into the Rock Tossing Lizard’s body like a spear, instantly piercing through it!
The rock that had been condensed suddenly fell to the ground. The immense pain caused the Rock Tossing Lizard to let out a loud hiss of pain. Its yellow eyes were bloodshot as it turned its head towards the direction of the attack.
But just as it turned its head, a black shadow flashed before its eyes.
Bang!
Li Song’s kick actually broke through the air and ruthlessly landed on the Rock Tossing Lizard’s ugly head!
It staggered as a black light flashed in front of it, as if it had lost consciousness. Its eyes bulged from the impact of the external force, and blood began to flow.
Li Song leaped onto the back of the Rock Tossing Lizard’s neck, grabbed it with one arm, and pulled it under his arm!
The energy on his arm surged and his muscles bulged like dragons. His entire arm seemed to have become thicker!
“Hiss hiss…!”
The Rock Tossing Lizard’s forelegs could not touch its neck no matter what. It could only wildly shake its body, trying to throw the hateful human behind it down. However, Li Song’s feet seemed to have grown roots, not moving at all. No matter how the Rock Tossing Lizard moved, it was useless.
“Die!”
Li Song suddenly exerted strength in his waist and performed a shoulder throw. With a “crack”, the neck of the Rock Tossing Lizard was actually broken!
The Rock Tossing Lizard’s body turned limp and lifeless. Li Song released its head and threw it to the ground.
On the other side, Bull Two also finished off the other Rock Tossing Lizard.
Not paying attention to the upgrade information in his mind, Li Song turned around and frowned at the woman who was already stunned.
“Keep going south along Route 37. There are no such monsters on this road. You have to move fast.”
“Otherwise, don’t blame me if you die on the road.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the Black Earth Demon Hound that was staring intently at him and added, “Follow your Tamed Beast.”
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoxue was already scared silly. She almost instinctively followed Li Song’s orders.
She did not know what was wrong with this world.
After a bout of drunkenness, the world became so crazy.
A lizard the size of a car, a hound with black fangs, a Tauren with two horns, and this indifferent man who hunted monsters with his bare hands.
Everything had become so foreign and crazy.
It was not until she had walked tens of meters away that she turned her head in hindsight. She wanted to ask the man’s name, but she could only see two figures disappearing into the street lights.
She opened her mouth but did not shout out in the end. The black dog bit her trousers and gently growled as she also turned around at this time.
“Thank you.”
