Chapter 606: The First Day

Chapter 606: The First Day

Night.

The street lights were dim.

Lines of burning text quickly appeared on the side of the empty road:

[The Apocalypse is about to erupt in this world]

[As a powerless beast, you have 7 days to prepare]

[After 7 days, you must survive]

[Begin!]

The text flickered and quickly disappeared.

Everything returned to silence.

The yellow dog was lying on the grass with an expression of hopelessness.

If it was a turtle, it could cultivate the [Black Tortoise] technique to temporarily strengthen its shell.

If it was a wolf, it could cultivate the [Transformation] technique to temporarily transform into human form to fight.

If it was a snake, it could borrow the power of the 5 Elements to activate the [Dragon Molting] technique to transform into multiple forms.

But!

But!

I’m just a stray dog right now!!!

It turned its head and looked back.

Rita was lying on its back, clenching her fist and loudly shouting: "Doggy, do your best!"

The yellow dog’s ears drooped down.

Do your best ...

Hah, fine, let’s think about what else I have.

The yellow dog fell into thought.

All of a sudden, its ears perked up again as its gaze became cautious.

A bicycle approached from afar, then ’squeaked’ as it stopped on the side of the road.

"Ah, it’s a stray dog."

The lone figure came down from the bicycle, walking while rummaging through her pockets.

She crouched down in front of the yellow dog and opened a box.

"How pitiful, no one cares about you just like me, right?"

The box was pushed in front of the yellow dog.

The yellow dog looked down to see a piece of steak inside — — from the faint cut marks on it, half of the steak had already been eaten. This was the remaining half.

The meat was already cold.

It then looked at the girl.

"You must be hungry, this is top-quality beef, eat it quickly" the girl spoke with an encouraging tone.

The yellow dog’s nose twitched a bit, its gaze filled with disdain.

Just listen to yourself, is that something a human would say?

I’m the Lord of Demons, the first person to ever defeat the nightmare, about to become a World-class life form — —

You want me to eat this leftover steak?

The yellow dog pridefully turned its head away and was about to leave.

The girl called out from behind: "Hey, this place is very far from the city, there’s a dog meat shop in the village ahead — — doggy, be careful!"

The yellow dog’s body froze.

It slowly turned its head back to look at the steak on the ground.

...

A few minutes later.

The girl stroked the furry dog’s head and whispered, "I don’t come here often. What if you want to eat next time?"

The yellow dog licked the corner of its mouth, licking the meat that was stuck between its teeth and wagging its tail casually.

It did not seem to care about what the girl said at all.

— Since he was already full, he didn’t have to worry about food for the time being. He had the strength to cultivate the basic demonic arts.

By the time he wanted to eat something for his next meal, he would have already cultivated a bit of demonic energy.

At that time, he could look for food everywhere without having to worry about his safety.

While the yellow dog was thinking, it felt the delicate hand leave its head.

The girl stood up, took a few flowers from the bicycle, locked the bicycle, and said to it,

"I’m going to the front. Wait for me here."

With that, she walked towards a small path and gradually left the shadow of the street lamps, disappearing into the darkness.

The Yellow Dog thought about it for a moment, then suddenly felt that something was off.

It’s so late.

What was this girl trying to do by coming to this desolate place alone?

It quietly followed and ran all the way. Soon, it saw the girl’s location again.

It was a graveyard.

The girl left the words on the grave and knelt down with her hands clasped: "It’s actually nothing much, I just missed you, mother."

"Are you doing well in Heaven?"

"I’m currently living a difficult life, but I believe that if I continue to work hard, I’ll definitely be able to make a good living."

She knelt down for a while longer.

The night breeze blew by. The grave was silent, the wild grass swayed gently.

The Yellow Dog silently sat not too far away, its eyes almost closed, as if it couldn’t bear to see the hardships of the human world.

The girl knelt down for a while longer, then silently stood up and turned around to see the Yellow Dog.

"Ah? Why are you here? You still want to eat meat? "

She walked forward and stroked the dog’s head, the sadness on her face fading a bit.

The Yellow Dog stood up and followed her, heading back the way they came.

A girl and a dog walked through the darkness.

Under the street lamp.

Several young men were standing around the bicycle, trying to pick the lock.

The girl was a bit surprised, then quickly walked forward and shouted: "What are you doing!?"

The young men were a bit panicked, but when they saw that there was only one girl in front of them, they slowly calmed down.

"Boss, look." one of the young men said.

"That’s right, so pretty ..." the leader of the group said.

The girl’s steps stopped.

She noticed some sort of danger — — -

It had nothing to do with her bicycle, but with her own safety.

She hurriedly took out her phone, but the men had already caught her and threw her phone into the bushes on the side of the road.

"Knock her out, don’t let her scream." the leader said.

Bam!

The girl was knocked unconscious.

"Go to the fields."

"Let’s go."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The young men excitedly said.

They carried the girl and ran towards the wheat field on the other side of the road.

The Yellow Dog hid in the bushes, silently watching this.

Bam!

The small pixie suddenly appeared from the void of space, angrily saying: "Liu Ping, I interfered with your choice of identity just now, so I’ve been temporarily locked in the small black room by the Laws — — - now we can only rely on you to save that girl."

The Yellow Dog silently looked at it and sent its voice: "I’m now only a normal dog, and I know very little canine cultivation techniques."

"Ah? Is there really no way at all? "The pixie Rita’s eyes became red, almost crying.

The Yellow Dog continued: "But saving a mortal is still possible, I just want to say — — - next time, before we do anything, let’s discuss it first, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Hurry and save her — — - oh no, the Laws are here to catch me again! "the pixie exclaimed.

Bam!

She silently disappeared in front of Liu Ping’s eyes.

Her hurried voice came from the void of space: "— — save her, I beg you"

The Yellow Dog squinted its eyes.

"Only 7 days ..."

"Very well, I’ll eat your meal and help you get rid of this calamity."

"That’s a good chance to walk the path of evil, the Nineteen Serineties is a bit faster than the Grand Supreme technique ..."

It opened its mouth and lightly bit into the void of space.

A bronze Blade silently appeared and was caught in its mouth.

The Yellow Dog began to run.

It instantly ran across the road and into the fields on the other side.

One of the young men in charge of keeping watch noticed it and asked in surprise: "A dog? With a Blade in its mouth? What’s going on? "

He didn’t even have time to turn around and call out to the group — — -

The dog had already rushed forward and passed by him in an instant.

A split second later.

A tragic howl suddenly rang out in the night sky.

As soon as the men put the girl on the ground, they heard the scream.

"That’s Sixth Brother."

"Wasn’t he supposed to be keeping watch?"

"I don’t know, maybe he was bitten by a wild dog?"

The scream was so horrifying that the lust in the men’s hearts was extinguished a bit.

The leader looked at the girl’s beautiful face, held himself back and said: "She won’t be able to run away anyway, let’s go take a look."

They all headed back.

As they turned around the small path, they saw Sixth Brother’s corpse.

Sixth Brother — — -

As if he was cut in half at the waist, the lower half of his body was lying on the side of the road while the upper half was desperately crawling forward, as if trying to escape from something.

"He’s dead!" someone exclaimed in shock.

Everyone was in a state of panic.

They only came out of the village for a stroll, how did someone die?

"Call the police!" another person took out his phone and said.

"Call the fucking police?! Idiot, why don’t you think about what we’re doing! "The leader slapped him and knocked the phone away.

It was now that everyone realized what happened.

That’s right.

There was still a girl who was knocked out lying there.

If they call the police now, what would they say?

Everyone was panicking.

Just now, they didn’t let the girl take out her phone to call the police, but now they can’t call the police either.

But someone just died!

"Boss, look!" someone called out.

Everyone turned to look.

The corpse on the ground was quickly turning into a pile of bones at a visible speed.

This scene was so horrifying that some people even knelt on the ground while trembling.

Deep in the darkness where they couldn’t see, the dog opened its eyes, both of them glowing red.

"Nine Serenities Awakening, Myriad Evils Fiend Body ..."

"Still need more fear and despair ... as well as your life force"

"... Who would’ve thought, I’d have to pick up these old-fashioned things and play with them again."

It muttered as its fur fluttered, giving off a faint yellow glow.

In the field.

The leader of the group quickly decided: "We’re all going back to the village, pretend we don’t know anything about what happened today."

That was what everyone wanted.

Just as everyone was about to leave, the fattest young man suddenly asked: "Boss, what about that girl, I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl before!"

"Why don’t you take a look at the situation first!?" one of them asked.

"I don’t care, I want that girl!" the fat man loudly declared.

"Go drag her out, we’ll wait for you here, hurry!" the leader said.

"Got it!" the fat man replied.

He ran deeper into the field.

The leader said: "We’ll bring this girl back to the village and put her in 5th brother’s house’s cellar, no one will know."

Everyone hesitated a bit, then recalled the girl’s appearance and nodded.

"Argh — — –"

A desperate scream was heard.

This scream sounded like it was filled with pain, as if it was being subjected to some sort of punishment that didn’t belong to the human world.

"That’s Fattie’s voice," one of them exclaimed.

"Run!" the leader shouted.

This time, they couldn’t be bothered to think about the girl anymore and ran towards the village.

Deep in the field.

A bloody claw mark extended from the vegetable field all the way until it stopped in front of the girl.

"Idiot, coming out to pay respects to your ancestors so late at night, don’t you think about whether it’s safe or not?"

The yellow dog looked at the unconscious girl and scoffed.

While the group was running away — — -

The yellow dog’s ears twitched, then turned to look at the night sky.

"What’s the point of running? The people that I, Liu Ping, want to kill will never live to see the next day."

It thought silently in its heart. It opened its mouth and bit the bronze knife. Then, it moved its body and rushed out.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Suddenly, the yellow dog returned in front of the girl with the blade in its mouth.

If I really leave — — -

This girl is lying in the middle of nowhere. Will she be safe?

The night wind was blowing.

The yellow dog thought for a bit, then stuck the bronze blade in its mouth into the ground and bowed to the blade.

A buzzing sound came from the blade:

"Go, I’m here, you don’t have to worry."

The yellow dog nodded.

That’s right.

With Warden Saber here, just the aura it gave off was enough to deal with a normal predator.

The yellow dog turned around and opened its mouth to bite the Baina Saber. Its figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
