Chapter 50 Giant Dog

Qiao Yu and his three companions quickly entered the village through the path.

The interior of the village was also severely damaged and looked like a ruin.

Huge trees were scattered randomly throughout the village, and there were few intact houses left, either in the periphery or in the center.

The four of them walked along the original road into the village, and went in to take a look at any houses that had not collapsed.

"Qiao Yu, what exactly are you looking for?" Cheng Sinian opened a kimchi jar and took a look inside. "Are there any special features? Like the material, size, or color?"

They had already searched two rooms, but he still didn't know what they were looking for.

Qiao Yu was riding on Jiang Zhan's shoulders and looking at the top of the wardrobe. When she heard Cheng Sinian's question, she shook her head slightly, "I don't know, but that thing is very special. You can tell it's unusual at first glance."

"..." Cheng Sinian held his forehead and then gave a cheeky smile. "Actually, I think I'm quite unusual. Is there a possibility that you're looking for me?"

"hiss--"

As soon as Cheng Sinian finished speaking, he felt a slap in the back of his head from the air.

"Shut up." Jiang Zhan's voice was so cold that it seemed as if he was going to scrape a knife across Cheng Sinian's face.

"..." Cheng Sinian covered the back of his head and glared at Jiang Zhan's back without daring to say anything.

"Puchi——" Luo Zhenzhen was amused by Cheng Sinian's frustrated look. She couldn't help laughing and accidentally made a sound, which was caught by Cheng Sinian.

Cheng Sinian stretched out his long arm, grabbed her collar and dragged her in front of him, then placed his palm under her chin, pinched her soft cheeks with his fingers, and forcibly squeezed her mouth into a pout.

He pretended to be fierce and said, "Little rabbit is really brave now, huh? He even dared to laugh at me."

"Hmm... no no... please open your mouth!"

Luo Zhenzhen was half-held in his arms, her face pinched, and she couldn't speak clearly. But she could clearly feel the familiar woody scent on his body becoming stronger and stronger.

It was so thick that it seemed to envelop her completely, making her shy and embarrassed, but unable to escape.

"Bang——"

Cheng Sinian was hit on the back of the head again.

This time it was an empty mineral water bottle.

Cheng Sinian turned around and saw Qiao Yu still riding on Jiang Zhan's shoulders, hands on hips, glaring at him like a little bully, and said viciously: "Don't bully Zhenzhen!"

Cheng Sinian was forced to let go of Luo Zhenzhen, looking depressed, "This life is really unbearable..."

--

The four of them searched all the way up the mountain, playing and joking.

"I always feel like there's something wrong here." After searching through another store, Cheng Sinian scratched his brow as he walked out, "Isn't it a little too quiet?"

There were so many villagers here originally. Even if some of them ran away after the end of the world, there wouldn't be no one left, right?

And even if there are no living people, there shouldn't be no alien species left!

This is obviously not common sense.

"It's indeed a bit too quiet, but..." Qiao Yu looked at Jiang Zhan, "Zhan's mental investigation didn't reveal any problems."

Jiang Zhan nodded, "There is indeed nothing around."

"Okay. Maybe they all ran away before the plants mutated..."

"Don't move!"

Before Cheng Sinian could even breathe a sigh of relief, he was interrupted by Jiang Zhan's harsh voice.

Jiang Zhan held Qiao Yu tightly to his chest, his face cold, "Be careful, something is surrounding us! There aren't many, only six, but they're very fast, and they're not aliens."

Upon hearing this, the three of them quickly approached, and the four of them stood back to back, forming a tight defensive formation.

"What is that? Is it a wolf? How can there be such a big wolf?"

Luo Zhenzhen was the first to see the object. She was standing right at the top of the mountain and could vaguely see a dark shadow moving rapidly towards them.

But there were huge trees all around, so she couldn't see clearly. She could only vaguely see the animal ears on the thing's head and its huge body.

That head must be at least three meters high.

They were indeed very fast and arrived in front of them in just a few breaths.

"It's not a wolf! It's a mutant dog! A speed-enhanced mutant dog!" Qiao Yu shouted, quickly condensing an ice cone in his hand and shooting it at the one in front of him. "Their skulls are harder than those of other species. Find a way to attack their necks and cut off their heads! If you can't cut it off, find a way to destroy their brain centers through their eyes and break them from the inside!"

As Qiao Yu spoke, he tried to concentrate and see the direction of the mutant dog's attack.

Six speed-enhanced mutant dogs appeared at the same time. This was the first time Qiao Yu had seen such a situation.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhan and the other two also used their special abilities to attack the mutant dogs on the necks.

Cheng Sinian dodged a mutant dog's attack and threw a fireball. However, the fireball missed the mutant dog and slammed heavily into a mutant tree in the distance, causing the trunk to quickly catch fire.

"No, they're too fast. I can't hit them at all." Cheng Sinian took a few steps back. "Qiao Yu, give me a gun! It's too dangerous to use my superpowers here. I don't want to wait until the mutant dogs are killed before setting the village on fire."

Then Qiao Yu won’t be able to find what he is looking for.

"Next!" Qiao Yu quickly pulled out a submachine gun and a Tang sword from the space and threw them over. He then took out a few boxes of bullets and threw them at Cheng Sinian's feet, "Here are the bullets, too!"

Cheng Sinian accurately caught the gun and the Tang sword, turned around, and fired a burst of bullets at the mutant dog that he had just missed. "I want to see which is faster, your claws or my gun!"

Luo Zhenzhen's abilities were actually the most effective against speed-based opponents, as lightning-based abilities were also incredibly fast. Luo Zhenzhen only unleashed three or four attacks before successfully chopping off the mutant dog's tail. However, she couldn't grasp the timing, and her strikes kept missing the dog's neck and eyes.

Jiang Zhan was surrounded by two mutant dogs, and another was constantly stalking in the shadows. The three of them were so intense that he couldn't even manage a single move. He kept attacking with wind blades, dodging the dogs' ghostly movements, and even had to use his mental energy to protect Qiao Yu. Several times, he narrowly avoided being smacked by the dogs' claws.

"Azhan, focus on your work and don't worry about me! I can handle it!" Qiao Yu stared at the mutant dog in front of him and shouted without turning his head.

As if to prove that what she said was true, Qiao Yu seized the opportunity and quickly erected an ice wall in front of her, successfully making a mutant dog rushing towards her crash heavily into the ice wall.

The mutant dog let out a wail and fell to the ground. Before it could stand up again, two ice blades pierced into its eyeballs.

Ice flowers soon covered its face, and then shattered into pieces along with its head.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhan stopped insisting, withdrew his mental strength and focused on the battle.

These mutant dogs are indeed difficult to deal with, mainly because they are too fast. Jiang Zhan's wind blades have passed over their faces several times, but they have never pierced their eyes.

Jiang Zhan frowned and began to use his mental power on the mutant dog that was wandering around, trying to see if he could restrain its movements with his mental power.

After Qiao Yu dealt with one, he wanted to come over to help Jiang Zhan. However, when he turned around, he saw that the mutant dog that had been wandering around suddenly twitched its body, then stretched out its claws and pounced on Jiang Zhan, as if it was making a final, full-strength attack when its strength was about to run out.

"A Zhan!" Qiao Yu's mind went blank and he rushed forward without thinking, raising his arm to block the attack for Jiang Zhan.

"Hmm..." Qiao Yu groaned and instantly knelt on the ground.

Three bloodstains were so deep that the bones were visible, winding down from Qiao Yu's left shoulder to his forearm.

"Ayu——"

"Qiao Yu!"

“Sister Qiao!”

Three voices sounded almost simultaneously.

Jiang Zhan cast a mental barrier and leaned over to hug Qiao Yu. Looking at Qiao Yu's bloody left arm, Jiang Zhan's eyes turned dark red, and a storm suddenly rose in his eyes, with a madness that devoured everything.

Jiang Zhan leaned Qiao Yu against a tree and enveloped her with a mental barrier. Then he stood up, with cyclones surging around him and more than a dozen wind blades appeared around him at the same time.

Jiang Zhan separated his mental power and once again invaded the mental world of the mutant dog that had injured Qiao Yu. With a fierce twist, the mutant dog twitched and fell to the ground.

Jiang Zhan's face turned paler in an instant.

But he was already consumed by rage at this moment, and seemed to be unable to feel the pain in his head. He controlled more than a dozen wind blades and inserted them all into the mutant dog's eyes.

With a loud "bang", Jiang Zhan crushed the mutant dog's skull from the eyes and exploded.

Jiang Zhan then used the same trick to deal with the other two mutant dogs.

He crushed each one of them from the inside of the skull.

When Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen finished dealing with the mutant dog and ran over, they saw Jiang Zhan holding Qiao Yu and preparing to run out of the village.
