Chapter 607: Rita’s Value

"I’ve decided to take care of you!"

The girl declared with a resolute tone.

In front of her, the yellow dog was lying on the ground with an indifferent expression.

But when the girl woke up, she found that she was completely fine. Everything around her was normal, as if nothing had happened at all.

Coincidentally, a bird flew by, and the Yellow Dog seemed to be paying attention to it. The bird screamed and flew up into the sky, flapping its wings at an extremely fast speed.

This yellow dog seems to be quite ferocious.

If that’s the case, the only reason why I’m still fine is because the yellow dog was too ferocious and chased away all those people.

Those people were clearly hooligans, so if they weren’t chased away, why would they let me go?

There’s no one around.

It can only be the yellow dog ...

Since I fed it, it’s been following me.

The only answer is that it’s the yellow dog.

"Be good, from today onwards, I’ll treat you well. I hope that we can both be happy from the bottom of our misfortunes and bid farewell to our despairing pasts" the girl muttered.

The yellow dog opened its eyes wide.

How interesting.

A normal girl’s words can coincide with the fate of two people, even if it’s a coincidence, it’s still worth paying attention to.

Lines of burning text suddenly appeared in the void of space:

[A side Quest issued by the Samsara:]

[Save the birds and beasts]

[Save at least one wild animal, and you will be able to obtain the corresponding merit from this Heavenly Tribulation.]

[The will of the Samsara has noticed that you require Merit]

[It is willing to share with you]

All the text faded away.

The yellow dog thought briefly.

Although it’s a side Quest, it still gives me Merit.

I’ve already used all my previous Merit to create [Kiss of the Serpent].

I need Merit right now to see if I can give my Close-Combat Mage some new skills as well.

After all, when facing the Apocalypses of the Samsara, a Close-Combat Mage has an advantage over a Blade user.

Those Apocalypses don’t know how to deal with a Close-Combat Mage at all!

The plan has been decided.

The yellow dog shook off the dust on its body and waddled towards the girl. As if it understood her words, it wanted to leave together with her.

Regardless, this person is connected to me by fate, so I’ll help her until the end and make sure she returns home safely.

The girl stroked its head and said: "Let’s go back"

The girl and dog walked through the fields and returned to the main road.

The bicycle was still parked on the side of the road.

"Get on," the girl said.

The Yellow Dog jumped into the backseat and squatted down calmly.

The girl was overjoyed. She thought that this dog was really obedient and seemed to understand everything she said. It must have been trained in a family to understand the rules and understand the big picture.

He just didn’t know if anyone would come looking for it.

She was worried about her gains and losses. Finally, she remembered that it was still wandering around, so she stopped thinking about it and rode her bike towards the city.

...

The night passed.

The next morning, the girl went to work.

As soon as she left, the yellow dog immediately jumped onto the sofa and began to cultivate.

After killing seven or eight people and using the Nine Serenities Demonic Arts to refine their life force, he could directly raise his cultivation.

This was a very quick path.

A short while later.

A wave of energy rippled out from the yellow dog’s body.

The little fairy, Rita, appeared out of thin air and immediately sensed the changes in his body.

"Eh? How did you become a demon? That’s too fast." Rita was shocked.

"The Nine Serenities Demonic Arts is fast to begin with, and I’m using one of the more evil techniques, so it’s only natural that it’s faster," Yellow Dog transmitted.

"Won’t it be a problem if it’s too fast?" Rita asked worriedly.

"You’re right. For a demon, if the power comes too fast and too strong, it’s easy to form an illusion and make them think that they’re the strongest demon in the world, causing all kinds of trouble," Liu Ping explained.

"What about you?" Rita asked curiously.

"I’m the strongest in the world, so I won’t be affected at all," Yellow Dog said calmly.

Rita tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "That makes sense ... Now you’re definitely the strongest among all the dogs, there’s no doubt about that."

Yellow Dog’s slowly swaying tail froze.

Rita didn’t feel anything. She flew around the room and landed on the windowsill, looking at the bustling street outside excitedly.

"Hey, hey, Liu Ping, how long until the apocalypse?" The little fairy asked.

Yellow Dog glanced at the notification and said, "Six days and 13 hours."

"Ah, this is so boring. Let’s play a game," Rita said.

"I want to cultivate right away, gain power and prepare to face the apocalypse in six days. This is the most important thing right now." Yellow Dog rejected her.

"Wuwuwu, just play a game with me, I’m so bored. Pixies will really die from boredom." Rita opened her big round eyes and begged.

"Is that so ... I have a game, do you want to play?" Yellow Dog asked.

"As long as it’s a game, I’ll play it!" Rita asked expectantly.

"Something like seven days, help me cultivate successfully and we’ll defeat the apocalypse together." Yellow Dog said.

"Ah, is it that hard?" Rita asked.

Yellow Dog looked at Pixie with a meaningful gaze and said, "You actually have a way. Since you gave up on the snake, wolf, and tortoise and chose Yellow Dog, I’m sure you have a backup plan, don’t you?"

"I feel that these animals definitely won’t be able to handle the apocalypse, so I skipped them and chose the cutest one," Rita answered.

"That’s it?"

"Of course there’s a more important consideration."

Yellow Dog’s eyes lit up and he asked, "What is it?"

"How safe would it be for a dog to stay with a human?" Pixie replied.

Yellow Dog stared at her for a while, then asked: "Staying with a human ... is it safe?"

Rita flew back and landed on Yellow Dog’s nose: "Liu Ping, you have to trust my judgement. The patterns of those three animals are all wrapped around by unsettling Laws, just looking at them makes me feel uncomfortable."

Yellow Dog’s heart jumped.

Pixies are the most sensitive creatures to Laws.

From the very beginning, it felt that the snake, wolf, and tortoise’s future was bleak.

If its instincts were correct ...

Yellow Dog stood up from the sofa, walked in front of the TV cabinet and pressed the remote.

Bam!

The TV was turned on.

[News!]

[Sudden incidents have occurred all over the world]

[A large number of wild animals have fallen into an uncontrollable state of irritation and have begun to harm people]

[The ocean is no exception, various sea creatures are risking their lives to attack ships, several cruise ships have already sunk]

Yellow Dog fiddled with the remote and changed the channel.

[Carnivores like wolves, bears, tigers, and leopards are all fighting one another. According to scientists’ analysis, they’ve all been infected with a strange plague.]

Yellow Dog continued to change the channel.

[Snakes have all fallen into hibernation, being attacked and eaten by other animals]

Yellow Dog changed the channel again.

[Sea turtles have been massacred in large numbers. These gentle sea creatures are unable to protect themselves, as soon as they’re discovered, they’ll be hunted down by a large number of sea predators]

On the TV, a crazed shark bit a sea turtle to pieces, then swallowed it whole.

Bam!

The TV was turned off.

Yellow Dog jumped on the windowsill and looked outside.

The streets were bustling with people and carriages.

It was a scene of prosperity.

Yellow Dog’s gaze moved, then turned back to Rita.

"Isn’t that so? Those Laws might be disguised quite well, but after interacting with them for so long, I can tell that they’re trying to scam you, hmph." Rita held her short staff, speaking with a proud tone.

Yellow Dog fell silent.

Just now.

The Samsara released a side Quest to save wild animals.

Together with what Rita just said.

Thinking about it carefully.

The opening words of this Tribulation were:

[You will face the end of the world as an animal]

Together with

This is the Beast King Tribulation.

Seems like a conclusion can be drawn.

The Beast King Tribulation is the end of the world for all animals.

I was supposed to face the Tribulation.

But Rita removed all three options, and was even locked up in a small black room by the Laws because of that.

Doesn’t that mean ...

As a stray dog that follows humans around, I don’t need to face this Tribulation?

I don’t need to be killed as a hibernating snake, a powerless tortoise, or a crazed wolf.

Which means ...

The Beast King Tribulation hasn’t even started and Rita has already helped me avoid it?

If that wasn’t the case, why would the Samsara suddenly release a side Quest?

Bam!

Yellow Dog turned on the TV again.

[Latest news!]

[Due to the mutation of wild animals all over the world, which has threatened the survival of humanity, every country has officially convened a meeting to discuss how to deal with a portion of the wild animals in a harmless manner]

That’s right.

The end of the wild animals is here!

And as a stray dog that just got reared, I don’t need to worry about facing this kind of large-scale slaughter.

Right?

Seemingly knowing what he was thinking, Rita lightly landed on top of the dog’s head, stretched her back comfortably, "Don’t worry, you’re going to be a reared pet soon. As long as that girl helps you get a dog license in a few days, your safety won’t be an issue."

Yellow Dog didn’t seem to care.

But Rita could feel that its tense muscles were slowly loosening up.

Sure enough, it wants a proper dog license.

Rita silently thought.

At this point, new news appeared on the TV:

[Next, we have an urgent news report]

[Last night, a vicious murder occurred in the Western suburbs, the victims were villagers from a nearby village, a total of 8 people]

[The police have asked the City God through a spirit summoning ritual, the God told us that this death was caused by an extremely evil Witchcraft]

[Attention all citizens, if you discover any unknown wild animals, please contact the police immediately!]

Yellow Dog turned off the TV with a ’bam’, then jumped back onto the sofa and sat cross-legged.

There are Gods in this world ...

Speaking of which, no matter what, I still need to focus on my cultivation.

Yellow Dog closed its eyes and slowed down its breathing.

One second.

Two seconds.

Thirty seconds.

"Hey, Liu Ping, I’m so bored!"

Rita rolled around on top of Yellow Dog’s head, pulling on its fur and shouting.

Yellow Dog helplessly opened its eyes.

"Rita"

"What?"

"Is it that hard to defeat the Apocalypse?"

"That’s right, even if this is a Beast King’s Tribulation, once this one is over, the next one will follow. The Apocalypse is a chain of events, it won’t be easy to defeat it."

"I suddenly have an idea."

"What is it?" Rita excitedly whispered into Yellow Dog’s ear.

"With all four Saint Pillars gathered, is there any way for me to become a true World-type life form?" Yellow Dog asked.

I’m not a World-type life form, but I have to face the Apocalypse like a World-type life form, that’s too much of a loss.

At this point, the sound of a key turning came from the door.

"I’m back!"

The girl pushed the door open.

Rita hid in Yellow Dog’s ear and stared at the girl for a while, then suddenly became serious.
