"Humans are pitifully weak, what should we do, brother dog?"
Just from the sound of footsteps, Xing could already determine the race and approximate strength of the visitor.
Although Xing was much stronger than the one-eyed creature, he still preferred to ask for the one-eyed creature's opinion in uncertain situations. After all, in Xing's eyes, the one-eyed creature had a richer social experience.
"Don't worry, I'm almost done..."
Xing rolled his eyes; who knew what the one-eyed creature meant by "almost done."
As the footsteps grew closer, the one-eyed creature's "impact" became increasingly fierce, until an old man, though aged, appeared in front of the one-eyed creature and Xing, holding a hunting rifle.
Seeing the old man, Xing and the one-eyed creature continued doing what they were doing, while Blackback, under the one-eyed creature, whimpered as if seeing a family member.
“Dad, save me...”
Even Xing, who didn't understand the language, could hear the sorrow in the voice.
Old Sam glared at his "captured" daughter, instantly furious, and shouted loudly while raising his rifle, "You little mutt, let her go!"
It was unclear how Old Sam came to the conclusion that the one-eyed creature was a little mutt.
Unfortunately, the one-eyed creature was completely unperturbed.
Then, with a loud bang, the lead bullet struck the one-eyed creature's head, and it was knocked back far away. The one-eyed creature seemed completely unharmed, instead becoming even more aggressive.
Next, there were two strange "wails" from the one-eyed creature, and it seemed to collapse as it slid off Blackback, lying on the ground with a lewd expression, lost in thought.
...
Blackback finally freed itself from the one-eyed creature's grasp, letting out a tragic whimper while it scampered over to Old Sam. The look in Blackback's eyes was one of anger and helplessness, but strangely, there was something else...
Seeing that his "daughter" had not suffered any physical harm, Old Sam let out a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the one-eyed creature lying on the ground and the rapidly munching Xing. He raised his rifle slowly, a flash of anger in his eyes, and with a bang, fired again!
Once again, the lead bullet was seemingly deflected away by the one-eyed creature's skin...
Old Sam's hunting rifle, although modified, didn't pack enough power to bridge the gap between a level two and level five creature.
Seeing that his attacks caused no damage to the two massive beasts, Old Sam's anger-fueled mind quickly regained some clarity. He patted Blackback's massive body and slowly stepped back with the rifle.
However, the next second, Old Sam's steps came to a halt.
...
When Old Sam fired the first shot, Wen Yu and Kuang Liu, not far away, had already heard the gunfire.
Wen Yu had experience with guns from his previous life, and Kuang Liu's understanding of firearms was naturally not to be doubted.
"Shall we check it out?"
Kuang Liu asked nonchalantly.
"No need, my spirit pet can handle it."
Wen Yu thought that Xing and the one-eyed creature had encountered enemies, but upon hearing the gunfire, his desire to investigate faded.
Such a lousy gun, even if there were a thousand of them, could not cause any harm to the one-eyed creature and Xing.
"No, I think it's a rare opportunity to find people; we can inquire about some information."
"Oh..."
Wen Yu intentionally elongated his tone.
Just now, Wen Yu hadn’t thought that much; after all, he was quite solitary, and he didn't put much importance on where he was.
However, Kuang Liu clearly had a stronger desire to return to Huaxia than Wen Yu did.
"Then let's go."
After Wen Yu spoke, he slowly stood up straight and then darted quickly toward the place where the gunfire had just occurred.
Behind him, Kuang Liu was not slow either; the sound of "crackling" echoed from his body, and then he followed Wen Yu like a streak of blue light.
...
"Who are you?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of the two yellow-skinned individuals, Old Sam felt a bit overwhelmed.
