A Natural Born Warrior, the Second Pet

"How much longer will it take for the ruins to take shape? Will they last until I get there? The timing of their appearance is really perfect!"

While getting dressed, Su Mo anxiously inquired in the chat.

Having learned that the next disaster could be a cataclysmic flood lasting up to six months, Su Mo considered this only opportunity to prepare for the impending catastrophe extremely important.

Among these steps, obtaining enough Time Currency to cultivate seeds within the ruins is of paramount importance.

"As for the time, there's no rush. The ruins have only just appeared, and according to usual, they need about one to two hours to solidify. I sensed it was coming yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be now."

At five o'clock, the sun had not yet risen.

Upon hearing Su Mo's question, Zhong Qingshu promptly turned on her video.

Behind her, in the still Da Liang sky, clumps of Gray Fog churned and surged between heaven and earth.

"It's actually Gray Fog."

Su Mo was intimately familiar with the colors of the ruins near the Candlelight Shelter.

The fog here is similar in color to the fog I saw when I first entered the Liangfang Town ruins, giving it a rather scary, movie-like feel.

But this color is nothing compared to the black mist I encountered when I entered the ruins for the second time; it's incomparable.

"Okay, don't rush. I should be able to get here in time for the opening. We should have plenty of time. You get ready, I'll be there soon!"

Seeing Zhong Qingshu quickly rush out of the Candlelight Shelter with her equipment, Su Mo's heart sank. He comforted her while hanging up the phone.

The cause of the punitive disaster has not yet been found, and we are completely clueless about how to obtain Time Currency. At this moment, we can only hope that Zhong Qingshu, this academic genius, has sufficient theoretical and practical skills.

As for the potential battle on the other hand, Su Mo, as the main offensive firepower provider, is not afraid at all.

Stepping into the base's planned gym, which is also currently the gun storage room, Su Mo looked at the various types of guns laid out on the ground, gleaming brightly. He bent down, picked up four M-1 Rifle, loaded the magazines onto each one, and put them into the Storage Space.

This time, Su Mo planned to bring all the Type 80 General Purpose Machine Gun with him, and before putting them into the Storage Space, he would fasten the ammunition belts to ensure that they could be fired immediately once the safety was released.

"Hmm, as for Explosive Pack, bring ten. We can't use these recklessly in the ruins, otherwise, if we come out after Welfare Disaster, we'll have nowhere to cry!"

Having learned from the previous experience, this time when entering the ruins, Su Mo adhered to the principle of avoiding destruction if possible, regardless of the danger.

Of course, if it were a real life-or-death crisis, Su Mo would not be a rigid person and would definitely use it decisively.

The powerful guns provided a sense of security from long-range firepower. After repeatedly checking and securing everything, Su Mo thought for a moment and then went to the side, taking the newly acquired, unused, Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade into his Storage Space.

Unlike the ethereal power of a gun, holding the knife in his hand, feeling the surging power within his body, and sensing the overwhelming sense of invincibility in close combat that comes from this enhanced power, Su Mo smiled slightly, and the fear that had lingered from yesterday's World-Ending Floods instantly vanished!

"This time, when I enter the ruins, I must be absolutely certain of success, ensuring I obtain enough items to provide myself with a degree of self-defense in the face of the apocalyptic catastrophe."

"As for the possibility of a punitive disaster, once I leave the ruins, I can try spreading the word in the world chat to increase my influence over the disaster, thereby obtaining more Heaven Stealing Secret Energy and simulating a more realistic situation."

While organizing the emergency supplies he needed to bring, Su Mo pondered to himself.

Previously, all information was kept secret to protect oneself and avoid attracting too much attention.

But things are different now. Heaven Stealing Secret requires enough influence to acquire energy and a more realistic simulation. Su Mo also needs more fame to ensure that he can continuously collect more information!

As for the potential dangers, after looking at the various supplies in his Storage Space, Su Mo made a firm decision and took out the Battle Direction Pet Egg that he had previously opened from the Gold Treasure Chest.

"Besides Oreo, it's time to unlock my second Pet Egg to bolster my fighting strength!"

Rather than cooperating with other humans in the wasteland, Su Mo prefers to form United Front with his pets.

Loyal pets will never betray you and are the best companions when exploring ruins!

The first time I entered the ruins, I managed to escape the life-or-death crisis with the Corrupted Black Dog by opening Oreo from Pet Egg.

Then, in the second crisis, Oreo again dragged the rope, forcibly leading Su Mo through the blizzard.

As for the Pet Egg as a reward, this time before the big battle, Su Mo didn't plan to leave it behind. He took it out of his Storage Space, placed it on the ground, and prepared to open it.

Oreo's Pet Egg doesn't have a direction marked, but this particular Pet Egg clearly shows "aggressive".

As countless aggressive animals flashed through Su Mo's mind when he thought about the pets he could get, a drop of blood slid down the back of his hand and landed on the Pet Egg.

One second, two seconds, three seconds. Unlike Oreo's first appearance, the Pet Egg didn't emit a bright blue light or show any signs of abnormality.

Instead, just like animals hatching from their eggs on Earth, cracks slowly begin to spread across the eggshell.

Visibly, as the cracks multiplied, the Pet Egg began to expand rapidly, like a sponge that had absorbed water.

The eggshell stopped expanding when it was almost as tall as Su Mo's shoulder, and then something else spontaneously floated out of the Storage Space.

"Is this... the staff I found in the Kobold Castle?"

After the White Robed Kobold was angered to death, Su Mo found the staff beside him. Unfortunately, the staff was not something that could be blessed; it only contained a trace of pseudo-divinity.

At this moment, seeing that the Pet Egg required so-called "divinity," Su Mo did not hesitate and directly assigned the Game Panel to take out 3 units of pseudo-divinity and 1 unit of True Divinity.

"After the game manifested, the divinity turned into something like a battery, which is probably a manifestation of energy. Could it be that this Pet Egg requires a lot of energy?"

One unit at a time, Su Mo carefully added to the surface of the eggshell, until all three units of pseudo-divinity were consumed. Then the eggshell began to spin around, seemingly very satisfied.

Then, before Su Mo could retract his True Divinity, the eggshell pounced on him and sucked him into its body, turning into countless fragments that exploded in the air.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Large pieces of eggshell fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a crisp sound. At the same time, amidst the flying shell dust, a rather imposing upright creature appeared.

Before Su Mo could investigate what he had unearthed, the upright creature suddenly emerged, even emitting a muffled sound, "Whoosh!"

"Master Su Mo!"

"Can speak?" Upon hearing a voice that, though a little awkward, was unmistakably Chinese, Su Mo's face lit up with joy, and he immediately went to greet it.

Now, Su Mo finally saw clearly what kind of treasure he had unearthed! Thick, powerful arms and legs, grayish-yellow fur covering the skin, a dog-like face, a large head and long Big Mouth, small eyes and ears, and large, well-developed molars, making its chewing power look terrifying.

Especially its feet with five sharp claws, which make it clear at a glance that it's not someone to be trifled with.

Did I drive out a bear?

"No, Moore is not a bear, Moore is a great Bearman Race Warrior!"

Surprisingly, the bear-man Moore not only denied Su Mo's words, but even came up and affectionately hugged Su Mo into his arms, rubbing his bear head against Su Mo's face.

Despite having mentally prepared himself, Su Mo still couldn't suppress his instincts and wanted to resist when such a large bear rubbed against him.

However, Moore controlled the strength of his hug very well, and Somo actually felt a warmth when he was held in his Su Mo.

"Moore, let me go! We need to go out and fight!"

"Fighting! Moore loves fighting the most!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, the bear-man Moore's face lit up with joy. He quickly released the hug and looked over with anticipation.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, a flash of light appeared on the Game Panel in front of Su Mo, simultaneously pushing over the Pet Egg's attributes and opening records.
