When Orea saw that Su Mo had been hit, it flew up from behind and stood its ground between Su Mo and the beast.


At that moment, the two canines stood facing each other.


It was a good thing that Oreo stood in front of him. Su Mo already had the wind knocked out of him and was given precious seconds to catch his breath.


After three or five seconds as the dizziness in his head subsided a bit, Su Mo pushed himself up and focused his attention on the two canines.


Previously, Su Mo only caught a glimpse of the beast and thought that it looked like a wolfdog.


However, when he looked at it straight ahead, his scalp went numb as he realized it was not like any creature that lived on earth before.


Although it looked like a dog, none of the creature’s skin was intact throughout its body.


The fact was especially prominent on its back where a large area did not have skin where it was supposed to be, revealing rotten flesh dripping with grayish-black blood.


Its eyes were jet-black, staring at Su Mo, as if it was warning him—


You are intruding into my territory!


The wildness in the black dog’s eyes was on full display at that moment, as if it would pounce and attack if Su Mo made the slightest movement.


It was definitely not a normal creature.


‘Fight or flight?’


As Su Mo thought about that, the hideous creature swooped over again like a black lightning bolt leaping up into the air, trying to break through Oreo’s defense.


Su Mo subconsciously stretched out his arm to block, but to his surprise, Oreo stabbed out from below as the black dog jumped, hitting the black dog on its stomach and knocking it to the side.


“Now’s a good chance.”


A vicious look flashed across Su Mo’s eyes as he performed a forward roll. Instantly, he switched his iron axe for his Japanese Oak Spear in a series of smooth movements.


As he thrust forward and pulled out, the spearhead yanked out a piece of bloody flesh from the black dog’s body.


Immediately, Su Mo used all his strength to lash down the spear body and spearhead, using the spear as a whip as he ruthlessly whipped the black dog’s body.


“Awoo~”


That whipping movement seemed to hurt the creature a lot. Even after he poked a bleeding hole on its body, the black dog did not make any noise, but right now, it howled repeatedly from the lashing.


While it was down, Su Mo went in for the kill.


Su Mo, who had lived a refined and cultured life for half his life in the civilized era, did not expect such tremendous power to emerge from his body at that moment.


The force started from his waist, traveling up to his triceps, passing through his forearm, and finally into the spear as he slammed it into the black dog’s body.


When he saw that the black dog’s backbone was broken into two, Su Mo stopped and gazed down from above. He looked at the struggling black dog lying on the ground and his gaze paused on the black dog’s rotten face for a long time.


After he saw that the black dog did not get up after waiting several moments, Su Mo let out a long breath and momentarily felt a wave of fatigue as he almost fell onto the ground.


When the black dog that was lying on the ground saw Su Mo’s lethargic appearance, at that moment, its front feet stomped the ground in a bizarre position as if the front half and the back half of its body were separated! It opened up its mouth and tried to bite Su Mo’s thigh with its black and yellow teeth!


Oreo, who was beside Su Mo, whimpered and tried to help Su Mo deflect the attack, but it did not expect Su Mo to be faster than it!


It was as if Su Mo was feigning it the whole time as he brought his spear back up and pierced it right into the black dog that came flying at him.


Crack!


With the huge impact, the spearhead pierced into the mouth of the black dog, and Su Mo, who was holding the spear, fell to the ground from collision.


When Su Mo looked at the black dog monster with the spearhead stuck inside it like meat on a skewer, a vicious look flashed across his eyes as he licked his gums and spat out a mouthful of blood.


“What a f*cking bluff.”


After he put the spear down from his hand, Su Mo looked at Oreo. To his surprise, Oreo let out a whimper and slumped to the ground. It did not dare to approach him.


When Su Mo realized how he must have looked, he was momentarily stunned and dropped the spear from his hand.


The fierceness in his eyes also reverted to his usual mild temperament as the spear hit the ground.


“Awoooo~”


When Orea saw Su Mo’s transformation, it ran over aggrievedly, rubbing its head against Su Mo.


Su Mo was about to hug it when he felt soreness all over his body as soon as he raised his hand. He also felt a little breathless from the black dog’s hit on his chest.


He looked at his hand. There were small wounds all over his hands from the rough friction when he held the spear tightly just now.


When he clenched his hand firmly, pain shot up to his core.


“That d*mn thing was really strong. It was probably not a normal creature, right? It didn’t even have the chance to breathe!”


Su Mo rubbed Oreo’s head with his elbow and braced himself to stand up.


The black dog was clearly not a creature that he had ever seen before. Even the mutated chameleon from before was beyond his realm of knowledge about creatures.


Even so, this monster did not breathe, did not need to smell, and even though its spine was snapped in two, it was still able to launch a suicide attack. What a scary reality.


After Su Mo gave himself a pep talk, he began to walk toward the middle of the house, squeezing his spear.


He was worried that the commotion earlier would attract other creatures and he had to make a quick decision. Therefore, he had to search the place first.


“This lock… is somewhat similar to the locks on earth. Although I’ve never seen a profile like this one, now is not the time to study the lock.”


He took out his iron axe and endured the pain in his hands. He chopped the thin chain hanging around the lock until it broke—the lock slid down weakly.


He pushed open the door of the house and a musty smell emerged from inside, the kind that would build up when houses were uninhabited for a long time.


From the faint light that shone through from outside, Su Mo could barely see the interior structure of the house.


There was barely anything inside the place and it looked like it was ransacked.


Although he called it a house, when he walked in he saw that a third of the room was taken up by a kang bed-stove that northerners preferred.


At the head of the kang bed-stove was an old large-backed television.


Su Mo did not even think twice as he walked right over to it and put the television and extension cord into his inventory.


He did not care whether it was an old bulky television or an LCD television. When Su Mo came to that world and saw the objects from his previous world, a sense of familiarity rose from the bottom of his heart.


As long as there was electricity, perhaps he could get the television to work. It could not be ruled out.


After collecting the things on the kang bed-stove, Su Mo did not leave the tea set on the round table in the middle either. He also bagged the table for good measure.


Everyone’s inventory initially had 20 spaces. Before Su Mo set out, he used up only six spaces, so there was more than enough storage for him at that moment.


When he looked around the place one more time in case there was anything else he could salvage, Su Mo rolled up the moldy bedding on the bed and threw it into his inventory before walking out of the middle house.


“The owner of this house has probably taken what he could as the things that were left were either too inconvenient to slug around or too worthless…”


After he slashed through the lock for the door on the house on the right, he was not surprised to find what was inside.


The house was empty and there were not even any objects for Su Mo to loot.


For a moment, Su Mo was a little dejected after paying such a price for the journey, but when he opened up the lock of the left door, he was pleasantly surprised.


“This must be a kitchen. I didn’t think there’d be something for me to loot.”


The left house was constructed with more simplicity. There were two woks on the left and a small table on the right with a wooden board on top.


Of course, those things were not what surprised Su Mo!


What took him by surprise were the bottles and jars on the table.


Half a packet of salt…


Black pepper… chili powder… baking soda… star anise… allspice… Su Mo stuffed seven or eight kinds of spices into his inventory.


When Su Mo looked down, he was delighted to find half a bag of flour that had already been opened inside the water tank.


Since the water tank was sealed tightly, Su Mo dug through the flour with his hands and found that only the top was a little blackened. The rest of the flour below was still snow-white, to his delight.


“I’m taking this away! I’m taking everything away!”


The wok, water tank, seasoning, and half a bag of flour. The kitchen turned out to be the biggest harvest of the battle.


After confirming that there was nothing left in the room, Su Mo retreated as he leaned on his spear, limping toward the opening in the mud wall.


At that moment, Oreo was strictly doing his job, crouching at the opening to keep watch. When it saw Su Mo coming, it ran over to him.


“Woof woof woof…”


Oreo barked sharply while tugging Su Mo’s trouser hem.


“Okay, okay. I’m going. Let’s go. No more exploring. We’ll come back here next time when we’re better equipped to look through the place again.”


Su Mo looked at the mud-walled folk houses next to him with a little covet in his eyes.


However, after opening Oreo’s status bar and seeing that the sixth sense ability was on cooldown, Su Mo was startled. He quickened his steps and passed through the foggy exit, quickly walking out!



As Su Mo left, the clamor of the ruin entrance once again returned to its state of tranquility.


It did not take long for the scattering fog to start shrouding it again. However, at the opening in the wall that Su Mo made with his iron axe, there was a person’s silhouette.


The shadow seemed a bit agitated, wandering on the spot before disappearing into the fog again.
