Bloody Battle, Great Harvest!

Seeing Su Mo get knocked back, Oreo behind him pounced forward, blocking in front of Su Mo.

For a moment, the two sides began to confront each other.

Fortunately, with Oreo baring its teeth in front, Su Mo, whose head was spinning, had a precious moment to catch his breath.

After three to five seconds, as the dizziness in his head subsided a little, Su Mo got up and took a closer look.

In the previous fleeting glance, Su Mo thought it looked a bit like a wolfdog.

But now, upon closer inspection, he realized with a chill that this was not a creature that had ever appeared on Earth.

Although it looked like a dog, not a single patch of skin on this creature's body was intact.

Especially its back, where a large area of skin was missing, revealing rotten flesh underneath dripping with grayish-black blood.

A pair of blackened eyes stared fixedly at Su Mo, as if warning him -- you have trespassed on my territory!

The wildness in the Black Dog's eyes was now on full display, as if Su Mo dared to make a forward movement, it would pounce and fight.

This was definitely not a normal creature.

Escape? Or fight? As Su Mo pondered, the hideous and terrifying monster pounced again, leaping from the air like a black lightning bolt, trying to break through Oreo's defense.

Su Mo subconsciously reached out his arm to block, but unexpectedly, just as the Black Dog took off, Oreo below delivered a backstab, hitting the Black Dog in the stomach and knocking it aside.

"Good opportunity!"

A fierce glint flashed in Su Mo's eyes, and with a donkey roll, he turned over on the spot, instantly completing the series of actions to switch from the Iron Axe to the Beech Spear.

A stab and a pull, the spearhead brought up a piece of flesh and blood from the Black Dog's body.

Immediately afterwards, the spear shaft, along with the spearhead, brought Su Mo's full strength down, turning the spear into a whip, and fiercely lashed at the Black Dog.

"Woof woof~ woof"

This whip-spear seemed to hit a sore spot. Even though it had been stabbed with a hole, the Black Dog hadn't made a sound, but now it was howling repeatedly from the spear strike.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Su Mo, who had been gentle and refined for half his life in the civilized era, never expected such a huge force to surge within him.

A surge of energy, starting from the waist, carried to the upper arm, then transmitted to the forearm, and finally moved the spear shaft, striking the Black Dog again and again.

Only after the Black Dog's spine was broken into two pieces did Su Mo stop, looking down condescendingly at the Black Dog struggling on the ground, his gaze lingering especially on the Black Dog's rotten face for a long time.

Seeing the Black Dog unable to get up for a long time, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little exhausted instantly, almost falling to the ground.

Seeing Su Mo's appearance, the Black Dog lying on the ground actually, at this moment, separated its front and back halves as if they were detached, and with a strange posture, its front paws kicked off the ground and burst up, opening its black and yellow teeth to bite at Su Mo's thigh!

Oreo, guarding to the side, whimpered, wanting to come up and help Su Mo block this attack, but Oreo didn't expect Su Mo to be even faster!

As if everything just now was an act, Su Mo raised the spear again, accurately and directly stabbing at the Black Dog pouncing over.

Pachi!

Carrying a huge impact force, the spearhead plunged into the Black Dog's mouth, and Su Mo, holding the spear shaft, also felt like he had been hit hard, and was knocked to the ground by the impact force.

Looking at the Black Dog monster skewered on the spearhead like a kebab, a fierce glint flashed in Su Mo's eyes, he licked his gums, and spat out a mouthful of bloody water: "Pretty damn intimidating."

Putting down the spear in his hand, Su Mo looked at Oreo, but didn't expect Oreo to whimper and lie on the ground, not daring to approach.

Realizing his state, Su Mo was stunned, and then put down the spear in his hand.

The ferocity in his eyes also turned back to the usual gentleness as the spear touched the ground.

"Woof woof woof"

Seeing Su Mo's change, Oreo then ran over aggrievedly, rubbing its dog head against Su Mo's body.

Su Mo wanted to hug it, but as soon as he raised his hand, he only felt sore all over, and his chest, which had been hit by the Black Dog at the beginning, was also stuffy.

Raising his hand, because of the friction from holding the spear shaft tightly just now, it was now covered with dense small wounds.

Clenching it with force was even more excruciatingly painful.

"This damn thing, really has strength, this shouldn't be considered a normal creature, it doesn't even need to breathe."

Using his elbow to rub Oreo's dog head, Su Mo braced himself and stood up.

The Black Dog was clearly not a creature that existed in his knowledge base. Even the mutated Chameleon from before was still within the realm of biology.

But this monster had no breath, no scent, and even with its spine broken in two, it could still launch a suicidal attack, which was truly frightening.

Forcing himself to focus, Su Mo began to walk towards the middle house, using the Beech Spear as a crutch.

He was worried that the commotion just now had attracted other creatures, so he had to act quickly and decisively, searching for anything useful first.

"This lock is a bit similar to the ones on Earth, although I've never seen this design before, but now is not the time to study locks."

Taking out the Iron Axe and enduring the pain in his hand, he swung it down, and the thin iron chain holding the lock snapped, the lock hanging down limply.

Pushing open the door, a musty smell of a long-uninhabited place wafted out.

Using the light from outside, Su Mo could barely make out the interior.

The room was extremely simple, as if it had been looted.

Moreover, calling it a house, the left side of the entrance was a kang, a heated brick bed favored by northerners, taking up a full third of the room.

On the kang head, there was an old-fashioned CRT television.

Without a second thought, Su Mo walked straight over and put the television, along with the power strip it was connected to, into his inventory.

Whether it was a CRT or an LCD television, coming to this world and seeing objects from the previous world, Su Mo felt a sense of familiarity from the bottom of his heart.

As long as there was electricity, perhaps the television could play, who could say for sure? After collecting the items on the kang, Su Mo didn't leave behind the tea set placed on the round table in the middle, throwing it in along with the table.

Each person's inventory initially had 20 slots. Before leaving, Su Mo had used six, so there was still plenty of space to store things.

Observing again, with the idea of ​​sweeping everything away, Su Mo rolled up the already moldy bedding on the kang and threw it in, then walked out of the middle house.

"The owner of this house may have already taken what they could, and what's left is mostly inconvenient to take, or meaningless..."

Splitting open the door lock on the right, as expected.

The room had been emptied, without even an object for Su Mo to scavenge.

For a moment, Su Mo was a little frustrated that he had paid such a price for so little, but when he opened the door lock on the left, he was pleasantly surprised.

"This should be a cooking area, I didn't expect there would be something left for me."

The structure of the room on the left was even simpler, with two earth stoves on the left and a small table with a cutting board on the right.

Of course, these were not the source of Su Mo's surprise!

The bottles and jars placed on the table were the source of Su Mo's surprise.

Half a bag of salt, pepper, chili powder, baking soda, star anise, bay leaves, and seven or eight kinds of seasonings were stuffed into Su Mo's inventory.

Lowering his head, Su Mo was delighted to find that there was also half a bag of opened flour, placed in a water tank.

Because of the water tank's airtightness, Su Mo dug around with his hand, and although the top was a little black, the bottom was still snow-white, which was a pleasant surprise.

"Take it! Take it all!"

Earth stoves, water tanks, seasonings, half a bag of flour, the kitchen had become the biggest gain of this battle.

After confirming that there was nothing else in the room, Su Mo retreated and limped towards the gap in the earthen wall, leaning on the Beech Spear.

During this time, Oreo was dutifully squatting at the gap, on guard. Seeing Su Mo coming over, it quickly ran over.

"Woof woof woof"

Oreo barked urgently, while pulling on Su Mo's trouser leg, trying to pull him out.

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go, no more exploring. When we have better equipment in the future, we'll come back here and search every inch."

Looking at the houses next to him with earthen walls, Su Mo was a little envious.

But opening Oreo's status bar and seeing that the Sixth Sense skill was already on cooldown, Su Mo's heart tightened, and he quickened his pace, walking out through the misty entrance he had come from! With Su Mo's departure, the noisy Ruins entrance returned to silence.

Before long, the dissipating mist began to envelop the area again, but at the gap that Su Mo had split open with the Iron Axe, a shadow the height of a person could be seen.

The shadow seemed a little anxious, pacing in place before disappearing back into the mist.
