At that time, Su Hao didn’t think much, instinctively took a step back, sidestepped, and then lifted his knee.
“Bang!”
After a muffled sound, that black and yellow figure was knocked flying out, falling to the side and rolling two rounds.
“Woo woo woo~”
Only to see that black and yellow shadow emit a painful whimper, as if… a beaten dog.
At this moment, Su Hao finally saw the true identity of this shadow, it turned out to be a dog!
This dog was huge in size, like an adult Alaskan Malamute, but with different fur colors, black and yellow mixed, not as beautiful as an Alaskan Malamute.
Su Hao rubbed his sore knee with his foot. Now he was so weak that he actually kicked a big dog flying, and his knee hurt so badly.
The dog looked bewildered, not understanding why it had to get close to its young master, only to be kicked away with a foot.
But it quickly adjusted its state, turned its head to lick the spot where it was knocked, then got up and wagged its tail, tongue lolling, and rushed towards Su Hao.
Su Hao immediately judged that this should be the original owner’s pet dog.
According to the normal script, the dog should come up to cuddle when the owner returns home, but Su Hao was not in the mood to play this kind of game with this dog.
Seeing the dog rushing over, Su Hao immediately lifted his foot and pressed it against the dog’s forehead.
The big dog couldn’t get close, whimpering at Su Hao.
Su Hao pushed with force, and both he and the big dog backed away.
The big dog was about to rush up again but was pushed away by Su Hao’s foot once more.
Then Su Hao frowned.
The big dog keenly sensed that its young master was not right, hesitated and sat still, not daring to move.
That little expression seemed aggrieved. If it could speak, it would definitely say, “Master, you’ve changed!”
Su Hao no longer paid attention to the big dog and cautiously walked into the house.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInside the house, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly. He was about to find the switch, but unexpectedly, the big dog followed in, closed the door first, locked it, and then lifted its front legs to press on a switch.
“Click!”
The lights in the room slowly brightened.
The big dog ran in again, pulled out a chair, and gestured for Su Hao to sit.
Su Hao showed a surprised expression and thought to himself, “Didn’t expect this dog to be somewhat useful.”
He walked over and sat down, then observed the layout of the room, finally looking up at the light bulb shining brightly.
Curiosity prompted him to become restless, eager to dismantle the light bulb now and study it thoroughly.
But he knew it wasn’t the time yet. Firstly, the danger was unknown, and secondly, he didn’t have any tools. Even if he took it apart, he might not be able to analyze it.
“Starting tonight, let’s refine vitality first! Everything else can wait.”
…
Time flew by, one year later.
Su Hao lying on the bed opened his eyes, reached out to push the big dog’s head aside, got up and stood in the middle of the room.
With a thought.
“Click, click, click~”
His originally one meter five height rapidly soared to one meter eight, a magnificent bone armor formed, enveloping his entire body.
Su Hao moved around casually, and that familiar strength came back again.
Big dog: “???”
To be precise, this male dog used to be called Beibei. But now Su Hao called it the big dog, which sounded catchy and was not open to debate.
In one year, Su Hao successfully evolved into a [Bone Demon], which meant he could now freely use the power of gene-altering liquid.
This was the turning point where his strength was about to undergo a qualitative change.
However, it was a bit slower than expected. The human body structure in this world was somewhat different from before, which caused him to spend a bit more time.
The next plan was to use genes to draw core runes, advance to a Grandmaster, and gain the powers of ‘radar perception’ and ‘space teleportation’.
But this couldn’t be rushed. Just advancing to a [Bone Demon] required some time for the body to adapt.
After adjusting, he exited the [Bone Demon] state, picked out clothes from the wardrobe and neatly put them on, then walked downstairs.
Evolution into a [Bone Demon] consumed a lot of his vitality, and the food reserves at home were already insufficient. He planned to go out for some purchases.
Passing by the cupboard, he casually opened it and took out two large loaves of bread. Taking a bite of one, he tossed the other one aside, and the big dog flew up, mouth open, precisely catching it.
Without even looking, Su Hao pushed the door and left.
It was afternoon now, and there were only a few pedestrians on the street, making it seem very deserted. This was because the residents of the town preferred to go out shopping in the morning. By the afternoon, they were all busy with their own chores.
Most of the residents in the small town knew each other, and as Su Hao walked down the street, he met the middle-aged men and women from the town who greeted him warmly. Su Hao smiled and responded skillfully.
Half a year ago, he had already mastered the language of this world fluently, and his vocabulary was even richer than that of an average person.
At the same time, he also had a preliminary understanding of this world.
In this world, there is a special energy distributed everywhere, called “Origin,” with the meaning of “the origin of all things.”
And those who master this energy are called “Origin Masters,” while the beasts that possess this energy are called “Origin Beasts.”
The theme of the world is precisely the struggle of humans using “Origin” to resist the disasters brought by “Origin” and survive against all odds.
The disasters brought by “Origin” mainly consist of three types: “Origin Beasts,” “Natural Disasters,” and “Anomalies.”
The most common is the attack of Origin Beasts, the most terrifying is natural disasters, and the most inscrutable is anomalies.
Any one of them can take away a large number of lives.
The disaster Su Hao encountered shortly after his reincarnation belonged to the most common type, a Origin Beast attack.
In the short year since his reincarnation, he had encountered four Origin Beast attacks, which was unusually frequent.
Originally, Su Hao thought this was the norm in this world. However, he changed his opinion after hearing some townsfolk say, “Recently, Origin Beast attacks have been so frequent.” Maybe it had something to do with him?
But Su Hao felt powerless about it.
All he could do was to quickly gain powerful strength to combat the disasters.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter completing his procurement, on his way back, the familiar sound of horns rang out from the town center.
“Woo—woo!”
One long and one short, two horn blasts.
At the moment the horn sounded, everyone in the town stood still as if they had been immobilized by a spell, listening intently.
After hearing the one long and one short blasts, they immediately relaxed, smiles returning to their faces as they laughed and chatted loudly, discussing various matters.
“Scared me! Turns out it was just a quality Origin Beast, no big deal, heh!”
“That’s right, most of the ones we’ve encountered this year are quality Origin Beasts. I’m almost scared silly by now.”
“The destructive power of quality Origin Beasts is really outrageous.”
“Even those Illusionary ones, remember the one from a year ago? At that time, I thought I was done for. That was the second time I encountered an Illusionary Origin Beast, and both times I thought I was done for. But in the end, I survived just fine, hahaha!”
“But we still need to be careful. There are also many powerful big guys among the quality Origin Beasts.”
…
At the moment when everyone was chatting and laughing, the ground on the town street began to tremble slightly. Everyone was stunned, not understanding what was happening, but a sense of unease swept over them.
In the instant the ground shook, Su Hao immediately judged the enemy’s position and loudly warned, “Watch out underground!”
At the same time, he dropped the supplies, put his hands behind him, and quickly condensed a bone knife, with various runes quickly engraved on it.
Just then, a middle-aged man who had just greeted Su Hao panicked and tried to find a place to hide. He had only run a few steps when a bulge appeared under his feet, and a tentacle full of slime suddenly shot out, wrapping around him and pulling him underground.
The man screamed in terror, his throat almost torn apart, and his hands weakly clawed at the tentacles coiled around him, but he couldn’t do anything.
As he felt the irresistible pulling force from the tentacles and felt despair, a white light flashed.
“Puff!”
The slime splattered, the tentacle was cut off at the root, and the man lost his balance, falling heavily to the ground.
At this moment, Su Hao shouted loudly, “Don’t run around, it can sense people moving on the ground.”
With that, he casually picked up a nearby wooden barrel and threw it onto the open space. The barrel bounced on the ground twice, rolled a few times, and then a bulge appeared on the ground below it. With a “whoosh,” a thick tentacle shot out, directly wrapping around the barrel and pulling it underground.
“Whoosh!”
The barrel crashed heavily to the ground, turning into a pile of fragments.
Now everyone dared not move, holding their breath, their feet rooted to the ground as if they were nailed there, not daring to move.
Some people’s faces were filled with fear, and they weakly spoke, “Origin Masters, why haven’t they come yet? If they don’t come soon, we’re done for!”
