854 Giving up on this strange world (1/2)
”Are you sure that this thing is that beast?” Su Hao looked into the distance...
Yes, he's right!
A pile!
A pile of soft wool balls!
This can't be compared with yesterday's giant beast.
The beast was gigantic. When it stood up, it's estimated to be as tall as a building! Because of this, it could easily swallow Su Hao whole. However, looking carefully at this beast in front of him, Su Hao thought that he had found the wrong target. This thing, was it the one that chased them before?
”It's true.” Chen Yiran nodded, ”Don't look down on its small size. Once it makes a move, its body will grow. With Rule Force powering it, it would become like what we faced yesterday.”
”What's your opinion regarding this?”
”I have observed it for several days beforehand. This berserk beast is strange. It doesn't eat or drink. Unless one steps into its territory, it won't ever move.” Chen Yiran explained.
”Really?” Su Hao fell into deep thought.
”En, at times, I noticed that it knew I was there. It was just too lazy to move.” Chen Yiran said in a low voice.
Both were hiding behind a hill while looking at this beast, ”I thought it chased us pretty far before?”
”Probably because you hurt it.” Chen Yiran rolled her eyes, ”You came out from within its body by beating it. Guess whether it will be painful or not.”
”Let me try.” Su Hao smirked.
Su Hao threw a stone and happened to hit on its head. The beast raised its head, looked at Su Hao angrily before going back to its nap lazily. Chen Yiran didn't manage to stop him, but looking at this situation, she was stunned.
This beast...
What happened?
It didn't react even after it got hit?
Su Hao raised his eyebrows a bit.
Since it already noticed them, there was no longer the need to hide.
Su Hao simply walked up to the beast without even having any intention to be wary. He looked at it carefully. If he was to observe from the angle above, its shape did look like a bear. With its bright brown furs, it exudes the ultimate attitude of laziness.
”Hey~!” Su Hao gave it a kick.
Chen Yiran was startled. Su Hao was simply playing with fire! She recalled that Su Hao was with Li Xin several days ago. This couldn't help her to have deep worry about him.
It can't be that Li Xin had influenced Su Hao… right?
”Roar~!”
That beast glared at Su Hao angrily.
”Hey~!” Su Hao kicked again.
”Roar~!”
”Hey~!”
”Roar~!”
The beast was finally angry for real.
The powerful Rule Force condensed. Chen Yiran was getting ready to take action as her hands were illuminating. However, Su Hao still remained calm, looking at it coldly. As the Rule Force condensed in its body, the size of this beast amplified. In front of these two, it was as if a balloon had swelled up.
Before Chen Yiran took action, that beast's body retracted at a quicker speed.
It was akin to leaking air.
That beast returned to its normal size. No, it was smaller than before. At first, it looked like a brown bear, two or three meters tall. After failing its transformation, it now became only half a meter tall. That angry beast scratched Su Hao's body without being able to inflict any damage.
”Aowo~” That beast looked at Su Hao angrily and charged over here. Su Hao easily grasped its tail with one hand and threw it up, ”This is that beast?”
”It... it should be?” Chen Yiran wasn't sure.
This beast, wasn't it that beast before?
Looking at the beast which opened its eyes wide, Chen Yiran suddenly felt guilty. At this moment, she seemed to realize that she was the one who took the initiative to kill the beasts in the past. She had never imagined that there would be such a beast that would give her such a feeling; it was as if...
It's a human!
”As I suspected.” Su Hao squinted his eyes.
This beast was similar to the wolf in Huangliang City, and they are unique life forms. They looked like beasts but aren't. Otherwise, they would have been suppressed here. Of course, Su Hao was clueless of the fact that the wolf in Huangliang City had been officially named by Li Xin as Little Husky...
Are they creatures born from the mutation of Nitai artifacts?
”They are like blank pieces of paper, and act by instinct or imitating their surroundings.” Su Hao calmly analyzed, ”Instead of treating them like beasts, I would rather treat them like humans or... babies.”
”Then what should we do now?” Chen Yiran smiled bitterly at this beast in front of her. She didn't have the heart to attack it anymore.
”Aowo~” That beast struggled.
With its tail as a fulcrum, it swayed around Su Hao's hand like a wing. Su Hao turned it upside down and grabbed it. That fluffy tail and body were like a toy in his hands. Of course, the texture was so amazing. Su Hao rubbed it back and forth, and couldn't help but say in a regretful tone.
”I bought a stuffed toy for Ling Er before. The feeling is completely different.”
Chen Yiran: ”...”
”Aowo~” That beast protested.
