The Ice Needle hits the mutant dog, but it has no effect; only Leng Yebaiâs Thunder Ability has singed its fur slightly.
The mutant dog struggles madly, and Bai Xiqinâs Control Ability also wavers slightly.
It seems the mutant dog will charge over any second now.
"Sis! Quickly release the ugly monster!"
Bai Yifan rushes in to see a massive mutant Golden Retriever and immediately shouts a reminder.
Ugly monster?
Got it!
Bai Xiqin decisively releases Taowu from the space.
Suddenly she recalls that this creature is an Ancient Fierce Beast, and itâs likely to overpower this mutant Golden Retriever.
As soon as Taowu appears, it excitedly looks at Bai Xiqin, "Master, do you need me for something?"
"We canât hold on any longer, you hold on for a while!"
Bai Xiqin points to the wound on Wang Yiyunâs arm, then to the massive mutant Golden Retriever.
Someoneâs injured, canât take it, you hold on a bit.
"Okay, Master." Taowuâs peculiar human-like face smirks, "Please go out and rest for a moment, Master."
I understand!
If itâs about holding on, it can handle it for a long time; if the master waits here too long, itâs tiring, so Taowu decisively lets Bai Xiqin rest first.
Finally, it gets to shine!
Bai Xiqin, pulled Wang Yiyun out, feeling quite relieved as the family retreats.
As Taowu appears, the mutant Golden Retriever bares its teeth, staring at it, its fur bristling.
It senses the dangerous aura from Taowu.
Taowu is an Ancient Fierce Beast; admittedly, it does look somewhat unappealing, but its strength is likely unfailing.
Seeing the Ancient Fierce Beast appear, Bai Zhengxuan and others decisively retreat as well.
This mutant Golden Retriever has extremely tough fur; ordinary flames have no lethal effect, only Leng Yebaiâs ability can harm it.
It seems this mutant Golden Retriever already meets the Third Rank mutant animal standard.
Third Rank Superpower Users and Third Rank mutant animals are not equivalent.
Before the apocalypse, human attack power was lesser than many large canine animals.
Even post-mutation, sometimes a Second Rank mutant canine requires a Fourth Rank Superpower User to subdue.
Moreover, the mutant dog feeds on zombies; a casual bite can turn someone into a zombie, very troublesome.
"Sis, itâs fine now, right?"
Bai Yifan slightly relaxes, his legs instinctively started trembling having seen the monster-faced Golden Retriever just now.
Before mutation, it was a warm guy; post-mutation, a life-threatening Grim Reaper.
"Should be fine now!"
Bai Xiqin listens by the door for a moment; the two massive beasts collide, then stop moving.
It seems the Golden Retriever has been fiercely suppressed by Taowu.
"Let me check!" Bai Anhai takes a couple steps inside, his facial expression instantly becoming extremely intriguing, decisively stepping back, "Is our Ancient Fierce Beast fake?"
Inside the room, Taowu is pressed tightly to the ground, with the mutant Golden Retrieverâs bloody maw clamped onto Taowuâs neck.
Whatâs notable is, the so-called Ancient Fierce Beast Taowu has its eyes shut.
Is it waiting to die?
Bai Xiqin freezes slightly, lies by the door and takes a couple glances.
"Taowu, what are you doing? Are you getting bitten to death?" Bai Xiqin grimaces, "If youâre getting bitten to death, move your paw."
Taowu lazily opens its eyes, its peculiar human-like face glancing at the mutant Golden Retriever biting its neck, "Master, I already said Iâm very resilient, how could I easily be bitten to death!"
The Master underestimates its renown!
"Then what are you doing now? Getting a tan?"
Bai Xiqin grits her teeth, suspecting this Fierce Beast has brain issues, with evidence.
"Didnât the Master ask me to hold for a while?" Taowu slightly tilts its head, "With its mere bite strength, I can hold on for three days and nights, not moreâIâm hungry!"
Feed it and it can hold until the mutant Golden Retriever dies of old age!
"Groan, groan..."
The mutant Golden Retriever viciously gnaws on Taowuâs neck, wishing to tear Taowu into shreds.
Yet Taowuâs fur is too tough, and it canât bite through.
The mutant Golden Retriever looks fierce, desperately gnawing, seeming as if itâll finish Taowu any moment.
Taowu leisurely looks on as if on a holiday.
The two large animalsâ behavior forms a stark contrast.
The mutant Golden Retriever starts its own business, working hard with fervor.
Taowu is a worker, who will never stand when it can lie down!
"Do you know what it means to hold for a while?" Bai Xiqin takes a deep breath, striving to keep her tone calm.
Itâs not her accommodating Taowu.
The main worry is the mutant Golden Retriever letting go of Taowu and turning around to bite her.
Taowu is resilient, she is not!
"Know, isnât it just resilience!" Taowu says confidently, "Didnât the Masterâs mother just hold for a while and got hurt? Donât worry, Iâm more resilient than her, I hold longer!"
Taowu proudly raises its head, as if resilience is a very remarkable thing.
The on-looking Wang Yiyun: ...
The reason for Taowuâs mouth sharpness surviving till now is found.
Itâs genuinely very resilient!
"You damn well charge forward and bite it!"
Bai Anhai face-palms, looking helpless.
Is the family Fierce Beast mentally faulty?
The generational gap spanning several millennia seems hard to bridge any time soon.
"Bite it?" Taowu looks at Bai Xiqin innocently, "Master never said! Master said to hold, isnât it just learning from Masterâs mother to be resilient?"
"Donât learn from me; Iâm different from you." Wang Yiyun grimaces, touching her wound.
Feeling the wound hurts more.
Why compare toughness with an Ancient Fierce Beast?
Taowu is foolish, she is not.
She never stands foolishly letting a dog bite!
"So... did the Master want me to come hold against, or beat someone?"
Taowuâs peculiar human-like face flashes an awkwardness.
Looks like it misunderstood?
"See the mutant dog biting your neck?" Bai Xiqin seriously points at the ferocious mutant Golden Retriever, "Bite it to death, kill it, beat it, annihilate it, understood?"
"Got it!"
Taowu nods affirmatively.
Taowuâs massive body suddenly stands, the mutant Golden Retriever still fervently bites onto Taowuâs neck without loosening.
Taowuâs heavy paw lands heavily onto the mutant Golden Retriever like a wall.
Instantly, the mutant Golden Retrieverâs body caves in significantly.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
The mutant Golden Retriever winces, releasing its bite, and before more cries could sound, Taowu bites onto its throat.
No chance for a death wail, itâs silenced with a throat bite.
Neat and clean.
Everyone: ...
Turns out the Ancient Fierce Beast isnât useless, just a bit dim.
Seeing the mutant Golden Retriever stop moving, Taowu quietly rubs the blood from its mouth on it, then smiles toothily at Bai Xiqin.
Adorably dumb.
"Master, am I awesome?" Taowu eagerly looks at Bai Xiqin.
That dead Qin Yuan is always called outside by the Master for help; it envies madly!
Being able to assist the Master today is truly delightful!
"You are indeed awesome!" Bai Xiqin decisively praises Taowu.
If its comprehension were better, thatâd be even more awesome!
"Next time call me for help, okay!" Taowu winks playfully at Bai Xiqin.
That peculiar human-like face resembles a zombie, bearing its teeth and claws at Bai Xiqin.
Already quite ugly, being playful makes it uglier.
"...Okay."
Bai Xiqinâs mouth twitches as she stores Taowu back into the space.
