"Little Grape, you take the left, I'll take the right!"
He spread his vision and quickly scanned the dogs' bodies for Pathogen Cores.
Just as he began the visual search,
a pale human arm suddenly reached out from one of the saw-cut, torn-open wounds in the dog's body, followed by a suffering, thin-haired boy covered in mucus.
"Big Brother! It hurts so much~ I feel awful! I want to come out. I want to leave this place."
Likewise, a withered arm crawled out from the other half of the dog, while the weathered face of an old man pushed out from among its organs.
"Young man... kill me quickly. I'm begging you."
However,
the scene failed to affect Yi Chen in the slightest. He had seen countless situations like this when he was alive. Beneath those hypocritical masks were nothing but bloody maws eager to eat him.
He swung his hand axe,
first waist-chopping the dog's body where the little boy had emerged, then hacking it repeatedly until he caused a Great Bleed.
The lacerations cut across the dog's surface linked together into a single whole, forming an enormous blood-soaked wound that bled all at once.
Smack! It was like piercing a balloon filled with red paint.
The Great Bleed directly caused half the dog's body to explode apart, scattering as a red mist. Even its smallest units had been reduced to scraps of meat.
Unfortunately, his luck was poor. He had lost the 50% gamble.
The Pathogen Core was hidden on the old man's side.
When he turned back, the other half of the dog had already fused with the old man crawling out from inside it... One half was the original Diseased Hound, while the other half was the old man's body, together supporting themselves on the ground.
