Spatial Entrance... Opens!

Hearing the shout.

Everyone ran over with solemn expressions.

They saw.

Doberman was already panting from the confrontation with the Brute Force.

But.

This Brute Force had also sustained some injuries; its body had been smashed and dented significantly, but overall it was unharmed.

Doberman panted and said:

"It's different when you have a brain."

"It's really..."

"So much harder to deal with!"

Doberman spat, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

It was clear that dealing with this Brute Force Aberration was not easy for them, but thankfully the Tumor had been temporarily restrained, allowing them to escape.

However.

Because there was still one Brute Force, they couldn't just flee.

But this was exactly in line with Chu Yunyi's plan.

Since killing Aberrations yielded Credit Points, it was even better to kill more here.

At this moment, Chu Yunyi.

Passive skills were in effect: NO.5 [Eidetic Memory], NO.7 [Orderly], NO.8 [Graceful].

Before long.

He entered a state of self-forgetfulness, observing and learning. He simply watched quietly, memorizing the combat styles of the group.

Chu Yunyi went from being a combat novice to someone who had gained a basic understanding.

The Wild Dog House group each had their own combat styles with pros and cons.

Boss Doberman fought with wide, sweeping attacks. Greyhound won with speed, excelling at advancing and retreating. Teddy focused on sharp, aggressive assaults.

Golden Retriever provided support from time to time.

Additionally.

Golden Retriever and Pomeranian blocked two small Tumors, which had split from the larger Tumor earlier.

Watching this battle.

Although the group cooperated well, not a single smile appeared on their faces.

'Boom...'

The Brute Force's body finally fell. Its tendons were shattered, and there wasn't a single good piece of flesh on its body.

But seeing this scene.

The crowd felt no joy at all.

Suddenly.

After the Brute Force fell, the large lump on its head abruptly dropped, transforming into countless thread-like objects that writhed on the ground.

"Not good!"

"Stop it!" Doberman roared, his gaze immediately scanning the ground.

But.

That lump, which wasn't large to begin with, had turned into countless flesh threads on the ground. How could it possibly be found?

Even someone with good eyesight would take a while to find it.

"Here." Chu Yunyi glanced and saw it clinging to a metal box.

It was the metal box that had previously sealed the Tumor.

It wasn't that Chu Yunyi's eyesight was exceptionally good, allowing him to spot it on the shallow grass. It was that the thing became extremely obvious after it attached itself to the metal box.

'Swish...'

The metal threads formed a mass and burrowed into the metal box.

The next moment.

Doberman, who had rushed over, stopped and frowned, saying:

"It's too late now."

"You all go. Let's see if I can hold it off alone."

Doberman's expression was extremely serious, looking as if he were delivering his final words.

'Sizzle...'

A smooth, slick sound rang out.

Before anyone could say anything sentimental, the metal container holding the tumor began to change.

As the sound echoed.

The once soft tumor turned into a jelly-like substance and, in the blink of an eye, squeezed through the narrow gap of the metal container.

"Damn it."

"Its disgusting trait combined with a brain, how are we supposed to fight this?" Teddy muttered.

Hearing this, Doberman said with a grim expression:

"Didn't I tell you all to leave?!"

At the usually good-natured captain's angry roar, everyone fell silent, a sense of shared life and death seemingly descending upon them.

Except... Chu Yunyi.

While everyone was focused, their expressions serious.

Swish!

A mass of tumor latched onto Golden Retriever's thigh, causing a burning pain like fire.

"Ah!!" Golden Retriever screamed and immediately began to try and remove the tumor from his leg.

But this thing.

Once it latched on, it wasn't easy to remove.

It was like breaking an onion, even if you removed it all, countless tiny threads would remain rooted.

In the blink of an eye.

The small tumor grew larger and larger as it continuously fed on flesh and blood.

In just a short while.

The small tumor attacking Golden Retriever had grown to the size of a human head, looking incredibly terrifying.

Meanwhile, another mass of tumor lay dormant in the grass, seemingly waiting for its moment.

Sluuurp...

The metal container was completely empty, all the tumors inside had emerged.

This time.

The tumors had changed slightly, with countless block-like structures made of thread-like flesh and blood inside. Their shape resembled an animal's brain.

Swish!

The giant tumor charged directly at Doberman, as if it had identified him as the strongest fighter.

"Anyone else who stays here, I'll kick you out of the Wild Dog House!"

"I told you! Leave!"

Doberman issued his final ultimatum and charged at the tumor himself.

In the Wild Dog House, the only ones who could likely affect the tumor were Doberman and Golden Retriever.

Both of them used mechanical arms, a form of blunt force attack.

Whereas sharp weapons like those used by Teddy and Greyhound could only cause the tumor to split and become even more troublesome.

Hearing their leader Doberman's harsh words, everyone hesitated.

Fleeing directly was certainly better, but being able to return together was truly ideal.

"How about one person holds it off for a while."

"And then we slowly retreat back to the city?" Pomeranian spoke up, making everyone consider the feasibility of this plan.

Greyhound, who was on the side helping Golden Retriever remove the tumor, didn't have time to respond.

Teddy, however, said:

"Ordinary tumors are already troublesome enough."

"This tumor has merged with an Intelligent Brain! It will definitely try to kill one of us! Even if we stall, at least one person will die."

Hearing Teddy's thoughts, everyone fell silent.

Because.

They knew that running away seemed to be the only option left.

Boom!

Doberman's arm smashed down, pushing the tumor back an inch, but the tumor relentlessly charged forward again.

A large mass of tumor attempted to engulf Doberman's entire body.

But fortunately, Doberman was quick and pulled himself away. However, it was visible that his artificial skin had been corroded, and his muscles could be vaguely seen.

Even the prosthetic parts that had been covered looked somewhat decayed.

"Can't you understand plain language?!"

"I told you to leave!" Doberman yelled, as if his voice was about to break.

Hearing this, everyone stopped lingering. After quickly excising the Golden Retriever's tumor, they prepared to retreat.

Suddenly.

Chu Yunyi said something out of the blue: "Does this thing eat normal food?"

Everyone was stunned by his question.

What did this guy want?

Even now, he was spouting nonsensical things.

But only the Golden Retriever heard him.

He didn't know why Chu Yunyi was asking, but he believed Chu Yunyi had some unknown methods.

Enduring the burning pain in his calf, the Golden Retriever said, "No, it's only interested in living things."

After hearing this.

Chu Yunyi smiled and said, "Good."

The next moment, Chu Yunyi reached out and activated his ability, No. 15, [Portable Space]!

Space portal... open!
