Chapter 8, Multiple Evolutionary Energies
At such a close distance, if it were a fully intact dangerous species, it could pounce with just a single breath. Lin Chao's palms were drenched in cold sweat, uncertain of how much strength it still retained, always prepared to dodge. As for whether he could evade it, that remained unknown
Lin Chaosong let out a sigh of relief; this position is crucial. No wonder this dangerous creature is moving so slowly. With every step it takes, the sharp steel grates against the ground, pulling at the wounds within its body. Such intense pain is something it is unwilling to endure
Hmm?
Lin Chao knew he could not hide from its sense of smell. Gripping the iron rod, he stepped forward directly, feeling somewhat nervous in his heart. If this dangerous species still possessed the speed and strength it had when it ambushed the golden dog earlier, he estimated that a single encounter would result in him being torn in half by its claw!
The dangerous creature, however, did not wish to give it a moment's respite, as the human woman bared her teeth and screamed, lunging forward once more
This initial golden dog possesses strength that is only slightly greater than that of a special corpse, and there is a significant gap compared to dangerous species. If it were not for the injury sustained by the dangerous species, a single encounter would be enough for it to pounce and kill it.
The dangerous species moved with exceptional agility, slightly tilting its head to evade and then raising its forelimb to strike fiercely at the golden dog
Just as Lin Chao picked up the multi-evolution energy, a low growl came from behind. Lin Chao turned around and was immediately astonished to see that the golden dog had returned, circling back, and was now glaring fiercely at him
The golden dog immediately jumped back a few steps, slightly increasing the distance and avoiding its powerful pounce. Upon landing, the golden dog suddenly exerted force in all four limbs and charged back towards the dangerous creature.
Although the golden dog is bloodthirsty, it instinctively senses that this dangerous creature is different from ordinary prey. It does not rush to pounce immediately, but instead cautiously circles around the body of the dangerous creature, continuously assessing and selecting the appropriate angle for attack
The golden dog leaped out of the car window, once again pouncing towards the dangerous species
However, the Golden Dog chose not to engage this time, but instead turned and ran away
The golden dog was startled by its momentum and immediately panicked, wanting to retreat. However, the force of this strike was too fierce, and it could not stop in time, resulting in it being caught by the forelimbs of the dangerous creature.
The dangerous creature once again raised its forelimbs, striking it directly on the waist, sending it flying away. In terms of both strength and speed, the difference was several levels apart
adding fuel to the fire
This crystal is only the size of a thumb, and the multiple evolutionary energies flowing within it are a dark red color, resembling concentrated blood. The surface of this crystal is a membrane produced by the proliferation of viruses in flesh, serving a protective function
A young golden retriever that has undergone secondary growth possesses a lethality comparable to that of a dangerous breed
The flames grew larger, and the creature in danger struggled wildly in the fire. Before long, the smell of roasted meat wafted through the air. The sharp steel beneath its belly was quickly heated by the flames, becoming scalding hot in an instant. The portion of steel that pierced its abdomen felt like a branding iron pressed against its flesh.
With a loud bang, the golden dog was sent flying, a large tuft of its golden fur falling away from its side, revealing three deep crimson claw marks that tore through the skin, exposing the flesh and blood beneath
Lin Chao used a flying knife to excavate the location of its heart, and amidst the blurred flesh and blood, a dark red crystal emerged from the tissue, easily mistaken for flesh and blood if not observed closely
The golden dog opened its mouth and bit fiercely at its neck
The golden dog howled in pain, rolling onto the road. Upon seeing the approaching danger, it was frightened and immediately took to its heels, fleeing in panic
In no time, the outer skin of the dangerous creature was peeled away, revealing fresh, red flesh before my eyes. The blood vessels, resembling earthworms, were slightly charred yet continued to writhe instinctively, demonstrating the strength of its vitality
Lin Chao picked up a blood-stained leather shoe from the ground and threw it at this dangerous creature
Looking at this endangered creature that was barely alive and lying on the ground, Lin Chao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gritted his teeth, picked up the iron rod, and took the extra gasoline before heading out
Lin Chao was momentarily taken aback, immediately abandoning the idea of escape, and began to observe once more
Roar
The golden retriever was knocked away twice, but finally learned its lesson. After standing up, it shook its fur, its bloodthirsty and bookish eyes fixed on the dangerous creature, yet it did not advance to attack again, but instead circled around it once more.
As Lin Chao was about to put down the telescope and consider how to evade this dangerous creature's counterattack, he suddenly saw the ground beneath its belly rapidly stained red, with a large pool of fresh blood flowing out from underneath it
The dangerous creature chased for a few steps, then came to a halt. The intense friction caused the steel beneath its abdomen to violently churn its flesh and blood, inflicting pain that was nearly unbearable
The golden dog was struck on the waist by this paw, immediately sweeping it off and sending it flying, crashing heavily against the window of a car, shattering the glass into pieces
Lin Chao's expression was peculiar; this golden dog did not seem to be foolish at all, as it even understood the concept of attrition warfare, clearly having a firm grasp on this dangerous breed
Lin Chao was taken aback.
Lin Chao's heart was filled with surprise as he immediately picked up the dark red crystal, completely disregarding the blood containing the virus that was smeared on it, and quickly wiped it clean with his own clothing
At that moment, a shocking scene suddenly unfolded before him. The nearly unconscious dangerous creature abruptly leaped high, emitting a piercing scream from the twisted mouth of its human-like face. It raised its forelimbs and claws, fiercely tearing at the body of the golden dog
This golden shadow is unmistakably that golden dog
Lin Chao, however, did not let his guard down; the scene of the sudden attack on the Golden Hound was deeply etched in his mind, making him wary of underestimating the intelligence of these creatures
Bang
After losing a significant amount of blood, this endangered species moved slowly and appeared somewhat listless. At that moment, a golden shadow suddenly sprang out from the entrance of the community, leaping several times to land on a car in front of this endangered species, looking down at it from a height
Lin Chao immediately put on the magazine wrist guard, arming himself and preparing to strike at any moment. He would not allow his hard-earned achievements to be snatched away by a dog
Hello!
Lin Chao continued to barbecue for a while, confirming that it was not a disguise but truly dead, before slowly approaching, drawing out the flying knife from his leg, and dismembering its corpse
This dangerous species also feels threatened, baring its teeth in anger, as if to threaten the golden dog
However, the dangerous creature quickly became enraged, because after the book stopped, that golden dog also came to a halt and lewdly returned to its side, pretending to pounce and harassing it
He did not take immediate action, but continued to wait
Lin Chao did not approach, but instead took out the gasoline-filled mineral water bottle he had brought, climbed onto the roof of a car approximately six meters away from the dangerous species, and then poured the gasoline from the bottle onto its body
With its sharp teeth, it can directly bite through and tear off the head of a dangerous species as long as it bites into its throat
Lin Chao felt a tightness in his heart and immediately prepared to go downstairs to seize the multi-evolution energy. Such a precious item must not be consumed by a mere dog
He quickly took the elevator down to the first floor. As the elevator doors opened, Lin Chao saw that the main entrance of the building had been knocked over, lying on the steps to one side, with blood everywhere. There were two or three corpses of decayed bodies lying at the door, all with their heads bitten off.
Except for some special corpses that are immune to fire, other corpses instinctively fear flames, and this dangerous species is no exception. The flames on its body cause it panic and pain, as it squeals in distress, rolling around in a frenzy, unsure of how to extinguish the fire.
The remaining corpses have disappeared, presumably having wandered off to other places
As time passed, after more than ten minutes, there was almost no blood flowing from the abdomen of the dangerous creature. A large part of the street was stained red with its blood. It lay on the ground in a state of weakness, barely alive, lacking even the strength to roar, and ignored the golden dog as it feigned pounces several times.
Lin Chao immediately chose the route with the least number of corpses and soon arrived on the street. There, amidst several dilapidated vehicles, the dangerous creature lay motionless, its underbelly stained with dried, dark blood. It had its eyes closed and seemed to have lost all signs of life
Moments later, this dangerous creature fell completely silent, remaining motionless in the flames, its entire body covered in blackened scales. The woman's brown curly hair on her head was also singed to the scalp by the fire, leaving her face utterly disfigured.
The dangerous species is a corpse that has undergone a secondary metamorphosis. After the various human systems and organs within it decay, new organs grow again, which are more suited to its body and more powerful. Therefore, it is different from a regular corpse; it not only possesses the senses of pain and taste, but also gives rise to a new consciousness within its brain
The leather shoe struck its head, and the dangerous creature immediately opened its eyes, its fierce female face turning towards the position where Lin Chao was hiding
Roar!
After dousing it with gasoline, this dangerous creature continued to glare at him menacingly, showing no signs of action. Lin Chao did not dare to relax; he quickly fished out a lighter from his pocket and tore off a piece of paper from the magazine arm guard, crumpling it into a ball. After igniting it, he swiftly threw it towards the creature.
The scales were too densely packed, and after being scorched, they became even harder. Lin Chao had no choice but to start working from underneath its belly, where a large wound had been pierced by steel. Once the steel had cooled slightly, Lin Chao immediately began to shake the steel with his hands, widening the wound a bit more, and then used a flying knife to cut along the surface of the wound.
After the golden dog left, the dangerous creature immediately stopped its body and lay down again, squeezing out a considerable amount of fresh blood from the wound on its abdomen
The burning paper ball was thrown at this dangerous species, yet it did not evade; it seemed to regard such a small fireball as incapable of causing any harm.
Roar!
Multiple Evolutionary Energies
However
Lin Chao immediately understood that he was attracted by the bloody scent of this dangerous species, and it was evident that he was regarded as prey
Lin Chao observed the scene through his telescope. When the danger raised its forelimbs, he immediately saw a sharp steel object embedded in its body beneath its abdomen, with blood gushing from the wound. With each movement of its body, blood would spurt out from the injury.
Lin Chao immediately guessed that it must have sustained serious damage underneath its abdomen, which is good news
An excellent hunter must possess sufficient patience, waiting for the prey to struggle in the trap until it has completely exhausted its strength; only then is it the moment to reap the rewards
The dangerous creature lay on the ground, wanting to rest for a moment, when the golden dog immediately pretended to pounce. As the dangerous creature became alert and prepared to counterattack, the golden dog quickly retreated. This back-and-forth continued, preventing the dangerous creature from healing; its wounds remained in a torn state, unable to recover.
The burning paper ball fell, like a stone dropped into a lake, instantly igniting the gasoline on it. The fierce red and blue flames spread over the gasoline, quickly burning to the parts that were soaked in gasoline, soon completely enveloping its body in flames
The intense pain drove it almost to madness, as it rolled desperately, but being stuck in gasoline, it was utterly unable to extinguish the flames. Coupled with excessive blood loss, its strength was nearly depleted, and before long, its struggling power gradually weakened.
This golden dog is very clever, continuously circling around the dangerous creature, yet it does not attack; instead, it plans to pounce once it is completely weakened
If it were a dangerous species in its prime, even ten golden retrievers would be insufficient to contend with it. However, the current dangerous species is already severely injured. If it cannot withstand this golden retriever and is killed by it, the massive viral nutrients within this dangerous species would immediately trigger the second evolution of the golden retriever
Seeing a one hundred eighty degree turn in events, Lin Chao was stunned. He had thought that this golden retriever was already sufficiently sly and cunning, but he did not expect that the intelligence of this dangerous breed was equally high. It even understood how to disguise itself and launch ambushes. That deadly claw just now, if it weren't for the fact that it was really low on strength, it could have probably directly ripped out the golden retriever's intestines
Lin Chao felt a surge of joy in his heart and continued to pour gasoline incessantly
Just like the second personality that emerges from humans, this personality is initially dominated by beastly instincts at the moment of its birth, and only after multiple evolutions does it possess intelligence comparable to that of humans
Lin Chao saw that the flames were nearly extinguished, and immediately smashed open the accelerator of a nearby abandoned car, collecting the gasoline inside with a bottle, and continued to pour it over himself.
The dangerous species roared anxiously, yet it had little effect. Finally, in anger, it chose to launch an attack first
After the golden dog tested several times, seeing that the opportunity was almost right, it immediately bared its fierce fangs and lunged forward with a low growl
Only this dangerous creature was seen lying on the street, continuously howling in pain, its voice sharp and piercing. It crawled slowly forward, leaving a trail of bright red blood in its wake
Beneath its human face, it exhaled sharp snake fangs, and its body suddenly shot out.
