Although the battle was over, the scene before the king was terrifying.
Dozens of people were chased by a fifteen-meter-long, level-three mutated lion, leaving only ten emaciated individuals, with the stench of blood permeating the air.
The ten people that Junjue and Wuhei successfully rescued have regained some of their strength.
These people were trembling, their expressions filled with fear, but also with gratitude.
Seeing that the battle was over, a group of people, though unable to see the road, still weakly walked over to express their gratitude.
"Thank you for saving us! You are truly brave and skilled heroes. Without you, we would definitely have been eaten," a young girl said in a trembling voice.
"That was really close. If they hadn't come, we would have all been killed or eaten by the mutated lions," a boy said, his voice trembling with lingering fear.
The others echoed their sentiments, expressing their boundless admiration for Junjue and Wuhei.
Junjue smiled slightly and said to them, "This is what we should do. Don't be afraid now, everyone is safe."
“I can’t believe we’re back alive,” a young man said, trembling.
“Yes, we are so lucky. If it weren’t for this strong man and that mutated dog…” a middle-aged woman said gratefully, tears streaming down her face.
Junjue waved his hand and said modestly, "Saving people is our responsibility, there's no need for such formalities."
The group continued to share their experiences and feelings, pouring out their inner fears to each other.
Their fear was so real, as if etched into everyone's heart. Lord Jun and Wu Hei listened quietly, their hearts filled with admiration for humanity.
“We should be grateful that heroes like the kind man and the big dog exist in this world,” an old man said slowly, and the others echoed his sentiments.
The nobles ignored the praise and stood silently to the side, gazing into the distance.
They understand that saving lives is only one of their missions in this world.
Many difficulties and dangers await them in the future. But Junjue and Wuhei firmly believe that as long as they uphold their beliefs and protect human life and dignity, countless people will still applaud them.
They shoulder the mission of saving humanity, and like heroes in the real world, they forge ahead bravely.
It's as if they are the embodiment of saviors in this cruel and realistic world.
"Everyone, don't be shy. Now that you have supplies, hurry back!" Junjue said to the group.
"Great heroes, great dogs, we will always remember you."
"Hero, see you again, dog!"
"We have no way to repay your life-saving grace. Please remember to visit our base when you have time."
The ten survivors clutched the life-saving supplies tightly, expressed their gratitude, and then cautiously and slowly left.
After watching the ten people leave, Junjue came to Wuhei's side. Looking at Wuhei, who had only eaten half of the mutated lion and could no longer finish, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
I wonder if Wu Hei will level up now after consuming a level 3 mutated crystal core?
The Duke stood quietly beside the black dog, admiring its jet-black fur.
This mutated black dog was once just an ordinary giant black dog, but through continuous devouring and evolution, it has transformed into a powerful creature.
The black dog's body had become enormous, its ten-meter-long and five-meter-tall form inspiring awe.
Its eyes, like scarlet flames, exuded a chilling aura of power. The black dog's entire body was covered in five shades of black fur, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying.
At that moment, a glint of excitement flashed in Junjue's eyes.
Because he noticed the dog's unusual behavior, the black dog prepared to evolve once again.
Junjue stared intently at the changes in Wu Hei, a hint of unease in his heart.
"Awoooooo~" followed by Wu Hei's somewhat painful low growl.
After a moment, the black dog's body began to tremble, and then its entire body began to emit a powerful energy fluctuation.
With a snap, the black dog's body began to change.
Its body gradually swelled up, its muscles bulged, and its fur became thicker and harder, with more intense lightning flashing on its fur.
Wu Hei's body grew rapidly once again, from ten meters long and five meters tall to sixteen meters long and eight meters tall, evolving once more into a terrifying existence at the mid-stage of level three.
Junjue couldn't help but marvel at the powerful evolutionary capabilities of the Five Blacks.
He understood that mutated animals enhanced their strength by consuming mutated crystal cores and the flesh of other monsters.
The initial stages of mutated animals, from level one to level six, involve increasing body size. After level six, their body size stops changing, and their size increases only through the accumulation of strength.
This time, devouring the level-three mutated lion's crystal core and half of the mutated lion's flesh has propelled Wu Hei to a new peak.
After Wuhei finished evolving, it stared in disbelief at its much larger body. It stood up, its towering form enveloped in a terrifying aura.
Its eyes were filled with ferocity and murderous intent, as if it were a real demon.
On Wu Hei's body, the black and silver fur emitted an eerie glow.
This evolution has made the Five Blacks even more terrifying and powerful.
Junjue knew that Wuhei had exceeded his expectations of a pet and had become a true soul-devouring being.
The stronger it is, the better it will be for me, because with it protecting Wan'er, I can be free from worries.
"Awoo~"
The black dog growled, the sound vibrating through the surrounding air and sending chills down one's spine.
It is like a domineering overlord who looks down on all others, fierce and invincible.
