The Dog Pack Really Had Some Skills

On his second trip to the Main God Space, Russell didn't know if he could continue to embark on World Quest. It would be best if he could do any missions, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't trigger any. He could still make more contact with Reincarnator and collect a few cards to fill his inventory, which would make the trip worthwhile.

This is Russell's current plan. If World Quest is triggered, adjustments will be made accordingly.

After all, plans can't keep up with changes. He often plans to stay for 24 hours, but he's rarely succeeded!

Russell brought Ying Yingying with him for this very purpose. When the two first met, Ying Yingying revealed that the trip to Skull Island was Team Battle, and having her by his side would increase the chances of encountering other Reincarnator.

"Why did you pee for so long? I thought you'd been carried off by Husky. Sorry, I misspoke, it was a wolf that looks like Husky!" Ying Yingying, carrying two large bags on her back, stood with her hands on her hips like a mobile luggage rack, her resentment clearly visible.

Russell ignored the sarcasm in her words and turned to walk towards the center of the island. "You're still young. When you grow up and find a boyfriend, you'll know that it's a good thing for a man to pee for a long time."

"Pah, stop spouting dirty jokes! This kind of vague claim has no scientific basis whatsoever. It's just you men bragging. From a medical point of view, taking a long time to urinate is a disease."

Ying Yingying quickly followed. Skull Island was Team Battle battleground, and her abilities were declining. Only by staying close to Russell could she be safe.

She was clearly overthinking things; Russell had brought her along to lure other Reincarnator out!

Deep into the ancient forest, the two walked for about an hour and gradually discovered traces of human habitation—not by modern humans, but by the natives who lived on the island.

A simple stone path, clearly man-made, extends intermittently, with moss growing in the cracks between the stone steps and many tree roots clinging to it.

Along the stone path, one can see cylindrical stone statues about half a person's height from time to time. The statues are carved with abstract facial features, and the magnified facial features fill the entire face, making them look very strange.

These creatures are crudely shaped and exaggerated in form, with fierce, large eyes and sharp eyebrows, and gaping mouths full of sharp teeth.

Russell had seen documentaries before and knew that the grotesque appearance of the stone statues was not due to unique aesthetics, but rather to the superstitions and aspirations of the tribes. They longed to become the terrifying figures on the stone statues in order to gain great power.

With a stone path to guide them, Russell and Ying Yingying instantly increased their speed. The two walked quickly and soon arrived at a mountain stronghold built against a rocky mountain.

The two stone walls are about three meters high, constructed of massive stones reinforced with clay, the joints fitting tightly together. Despite their extremely primitive technology, the wisdom of the tribe cannot be underestimated; the two stone walls are exceptionally sturdy, and the clay appears to have been mixed with some substance, its bright red color striking.

Perhaps due to the passage of time, the stone walls are severely weathered, making this an abandoned mountain village.

The mountain stronghold was eerily quiet. Russell decided to go in and scout ahead. At this crucial moment, he stopped making things difficult for Ying Yingying, put the two backpacks into his Space Ring, and took out a Dogleg Saber, handing it to her.

He himself, carrying the Great Fast Blade Autumn Water, walked through the gap between the two stone walls, which was likely the entrance. On both sides of the open space, the earthen houses had collapsed, and weeds grew in abundance, vaguely revealing their former scale.

Ying Yingying followed behind Russell, keeping a distance of one meter, holding Dogleg Saber, and concentrating on guarding her surroundings.

Just then, she stepped on a moss-covered tree root, and several roots sprang up from the ground, their front ends baring fangs and teeth, and lunged at her.

It wasn't a tree root, but a python whose camouflage matched the color of the moss. It was over four meters long, its snout open, raising a foul stench.

Whoosh!

Ying Yingying reacted incredibly quickly, wielding her Dogleg Saber and slashing back to slice off the fist-sized tongue, sending it crashing to the ground.

The foul-smelling blood splattered out, and the headless snake's body twisted and coiled on the ground, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Russell held his longsword upside down and pinned it to the snake's head. The sword energy scattered, tearing the snake to shreds. Although he didn't know the snake's species, judging from its triangular, ferocious appearance, it was likely highly venomous. Snakes are resilient; even a severed head can survive for a while, so this strike had to be delivered.

"Jason, I smell it! There's blood in the air!"

Ying Yingying's breath trembled as she pointed to the end of the mountain stronghold. The bloody smell she was referring to wasn't from the python at her feet, but from the largest and best-preserved stone house.

Are you Husky?

"I used to be an assassin and learned the corresponding skills." Ying Yingying thought to herself that she was petty, then gestured and walked ahead.

The two quietly took a few steps forward, and the smell of blood grew stronger; Russell could smell it now as well.

Within seconds, he saw the skeletons scattered on the ground, some human, some Beast. None of the skeletons were intact; most were hard skulls, covered in bits of flesh and blood, gnawed and mangled.

Russell patted Ying Yingying on the shoulder, shook his head slightly, and gestured for her to prepare to leave. The stone house had been used as a den by some kind of predator. They weren't there to film a documentary, and whatever the creature inside was, there was no need to find out.

Ying Yingying nodded. Having not played the role of an assassin for a long time, she was so engrossed in the role that she didn't realize what was happening.

The two left the mountain stronghold one after the other, but little did they know that the tiger had no intention of harming them, but the tiger was intent on harming them. The beast in the stone house followed them out, drawn by the scent.

The four-headed, bipedal velociraptor was over 3 meters long and about the same height as Russell when standing upright. It had a yellowish-brown body with red vertical stripes on its sides.

These four simple-minded fellows clearly saw Russell and Ying Yingying as their prey. Their two-colored vertical pupils revealed a Bloodlust glint. They flicked their long tails, opened their mouths full of sharp teeth, and drool dripped all over the ground.

"Should you go or should I go?"

Just as Ying Yingying finished speaking, a howl of hungry wolves echoed from the depths of the jungle, and the four velociraptors immediately stiffened. Their nostrils twitched slightly, and with a low growl of slight reluctance, they turned around and charged away. The muscles of their two thick hind legs tensed, and they leaped over a three-meter-high stone wall and ran into the depths of the jungle.

"Woof woof woof!!"

Four Husky came running over, panting, and jumped around Russell, pulling his black robe back the way they came.

According to the laws of the food chain, predators will only abandon their prey when faced with a superior predator, which means these Dog Pack are really something.

"This, this...this..." Ying Yingying pointed at the Husky, unable to speak coherently.

"What? I already said, they're wolves, even the velociraptors were scared away!"

Seeing the disbelief on Ying Yingying's face, Russell felt extremely proud. He squatted down, pinned down the Husky that was holding his black robe, and started rubbing its belly.

Seeing that a certain traitor was the only one receiving favor, the other three Husky grabbed Russell's black robe, demanding that he share the affection with them.

"Good Dog Pack ... cough, good wolves, listen to me, are you hungry? I'll hunt down a Kong to feed you." Russell scratched the bellies of the four Husky one by one.

"Jason, I don't think they're hungry, they've just found living people." Ying Yingying couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Russell's self-praise.

"A living person!?"

Russell paused in his petting of the dog; Jason had actually been outdone by the Husky!
