Upon seeing another source beast, Lin Shi's expression turned stern.
The last time, due to the sudden appearance of the treasure basin's prompt, he was caught off guard and failed to preemptively kill the mutated wild boar.
This time, he would not miss again.
At this moment, the Demon King standing beside him suddenly burst with intense fighting spirit, staring at the mutated calico cat with hostile eyes.
The Demon King took a few steps on the spot, looked up at Lin Shi, and seemed to be asking for his opinion with his eyes.
"Do you want to deal with that cat?"
Lin Shi immediately understood the Demon King's intention.
The Demon King nodded.
Seeing that the source beast was definitely going to be killed, and it was an opportunity to quickly enhance strength, Lin Shi naturally would not let it pass.
It was just a bit surprising that the Demon King took the initiative to request to fight.
But this also happened to allow him to see the Demon King's combat power.
After all, it didn't matter who killed the source beast.
He asked:
"Do you need help?"
The Demon King nudged Lin Shi with his head, pushing him back a step.
The meaning was to let him not intervene.
"Alright, go ahead."
With himself on the side, there would be no danger to the Demon King.
The Demon King gave Lin Shi a grateful look and slowly walked towards the cat.
At the same time, the mutated calico cat seemed to sense something and turned its head to look at the Demon King.
Seeing the Demon King, the cat directly abandoned the group of humans and stared tightly at the approaching Demon King.
Its whole body arched, and it gave a warning cry:
"Meow!!"
The Demon King quickened his pace and pounced fiercely!
Both being source beasts, the Demon King was larger in size, but the calico cat's speed was astonishing.
The cat-dog battle was imminent!
While Lin Shi was intently watching the cat-dog battle outside.
A dispute arose in the gold shop among a family of three.
"Child's father, hurry up and take Aqiu to the hospital!"
The middle-aged woman covered the boy's wound with her clothes and carefully wrapped up the severed hand.
"Do you not know what the situation in the hospital is now? Where are the doctors?! These days, the most people have died in the hospital.
Now there is a giant cat outside, how can we go out!"
After these days, the hospital has become one of the most chaotic places in the city.
The other day, countless people with injuries, frostbite, colds, and fevers rushed to the hospital, and the arrival of the blizzard trapped everyone inside.
The hospital was crowded with people everywhere, but how could the hospital have enough supplies to accommodate so many people.
People who were extremely hungry and cold, at the critical moment of life and death, would do what can be imagined.
Now the hospital has become a hell.
"What can we do then? Are we just going to watch Aqiu die here?!" The middle-aged woman was extremely anxious.
"Mom, tie up Aqiu's wound with a rope first, which can reduce bleeding." The girl who had not spoken before suddenly spoke.
Hearing the girl speak, the middle-aged woman, who had been acting like a loving mother, immediately changed her face, and her tone became sharp:
"What do you know, you dead girl? Do you want to make your brother a cripple?!"
The girl looked timid and said in a low voice:
"This is what I saw on the internet before, if he keeps bleeding like this, he will die from excessive blood loss."
The girl's words were like igniting two barrels of gunpowder, and the middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and slapped the girl hard on the face.
He vented his anger that he couldn't vent on Lin Shi on the girl:
"You just want to watch your brother die, don't you! You useless, despicable thing! Why didn't you hold Ah Qiu back from coming in! Why didn't you help your brother grab the meat pie just now, why weren't you the one bitten?!"
The girl was slapped to the ground, and the broken glass on the floor pierced her palm brutally.
However, the middle-aged couple turned a blind eye to this scene, and the middle-aged woman continued to curse the girl with her sharp and biting words:
"...If anything happens to your brother, you won't have it easy either!"
The girl numbly stood up, silently picked out the shards of glass deeply embedded in her palm, looked at her bleeding hand, and her eyes were dark and inscrutable.
...
The battles between animals are the most primitive and cruel.
In just a few minutes, a cat and a dog had injuries on their bodies.
Those who were chased by the tabby cat took advantage of the fight between the two beasts to escape without a trace.
The tabby cat was now limping, its right leg injured by the Demon King at some point.
And the Demon King had three bloodied gashes under its eye, almost scratched by the tabby cat, barely missing the eye.
Its leg was also scratched with several deep wounds that exposed the bone.
Lin Shi's heart was tense; if the Demon King was in mortal danger, he was ready to use a long-range weapon at any time.
The Demon King's fierce pounce was dodged by the tabby cat again.
The tabby cat twisted and swiftly swiped its claw at the Demon King.
The sharp claws flashed in the sunlight, and the down jacket on the Demon King was torn, with feathers flying everywhere.
At this moment, Lin Shi's eyes moved, and a murderous intent surged in his eyes, a pistol silently appearing in his sleeve.
A girl's scream came from behind Lin Shi.
"Run! They're going to kill you!!"
It turned out that at some point, the middle-aged couple had circled behind Lin Shi not far away, each holding a knife.
Their eyes full of murderous intent and madness stared at Lin Shi, and it was clear what they wanted to do.
"Damn it! This ungrateful bitch!!"
Seeing that Lin Shi had discovered them, the middle-aged man glared at the girl viciously.
After being discovered, he no longer hid and said to Lin Shi with a sinister tone:
"Your dog is not by your side now, kid.
You harmed my son, and I'm going to chop your bones into pieces to feed the dogs!"
"Don't waste time talking to him, kill him.
His clothes are for you, and I want the beef pie!"
The middle-aged woman said anxiously.
In fact, they had been eyeing Lin Shi for a long time.
Originally, they had also set their sights on Lin Shi's dog, but they didn't expect the Demon King to be so ferocious.
After realizing that the dog by Lin Shi's side was not easy to deal with, they had considered leaving first and ambushing in the dark, using the girl to lure the dog away before striking.
Unexpectedly, their own son got into trouble first.
But it was the same to act now, take advantage of the dog's absence and kill the kid!
"Woof!!"
Seeing Lin Shi threatened.
The Demon King roared in anger, slapped the pouncing tabby cat to the ground with one paw, and bit the injured right leg of the tabby cat with even more ferocity!
This bite sealed the victory, the tabby cat's right leg was directly bitten off, emitting a shrill, miserable scream.
The Demon King then pounced on the tabby cat.
The overwhelming strength advantage was displayed at this moment, with sharp claws firmly pressing down on the tabby cat that still wanted to stand up.
The tabby cat struggled desperately, scratching at the Demon King's leg, and in the next second, its neck was brutally crushed by the Demon King.
As for Lin Shi, an unexpected change occurred.
Just as the middle-aged couple charged at Lin Shi with their knives.
The girl, who had been hiding and trembling, suddenly took out a bone-chopping knife from somewhere and swung it at the middle-aged couple!
