S Growth Value!

The counterattacks from the Horned Sheep were fierce.

Meiqiu had nearly been struck by the Horned Sheep several times, but even when attacks landed on him, Void Body's 50% dodge chance negated them.

So far, he had not suffered any serious injuries.

On the other hand, the three Horned Sheep had been tormented until they were on the verge of death.

Just then, one Horned Sheep saw Meiqiu transform into a streak of black light and reappear. It let out an enraged bleat before violently ramming forward.

The Horned Sheep's second skill, Sky Piercing Horns, activated!

This time, Meiqiu was not so lucky. Void Body's 50% dodge chance did not trigger, and he was instantly sent flying into the air by the ram's horns.

The sharp goat horns pierced Meiqiu's skin, sending a trail of black, crystal-like liquid spilling through the air.

Han Xing's heart instantly clenched.

That crystal-like black liquid should have been Meiqiu's blood. Void Clan creatures had bodily structures different from ordinary living creatures.

After being sent flying, Meiqiu rolled across the ground several times before quickly getting back up.

There was a wound on his abdomen, and it looked rather horrifying.

"Grr..." A low growl came from Meiqiu's throat. Though injured, his ferocity had not diminished in the slightest!

Seeing this, Han Xing hurriedly said, "Meiqiu, come back."

Meiqiu turned his head and looked at Han Xing in confusion.

Seeing that Meiqiu's injuries were not as severe as he had imagined, Han Xing breathed a sigh of relief. He beckoned to him and said, "You did well. Leave the rest to me!"

After hearing that, Meiqiu obediently ran back to Han Xing's side.

At this moment, the two Horned Sheep had already been blinded by rage.

"Baa!"

The Horned Sheep stared with bloodshot eyes, panting heavily as they charged fiercely at Han Xing!

However, the next moment, two arrows gleaming with chilling light rapidly grew larger in their eyes.

Pfft! Pfft!

Both arrows struck their targets at once.

"Baa! Baa!"

The arrows pierced through the two Horned Sheep's heads. After their miserable cries, they died on the spot.

Only the last Horned Sheep remained, but it could not escape the fate of death either.

They had already been tortured half to death by Meiqiu. If Meiqiu had not only been level 1, with low attack power—

he alone could have easily killed all four Horned Sheep.

At this moment, a System Prompt appeared.

Horned Sheep LV3 *4 killed. Obtained 120 Experience Points. Pet 'Meiqiu' obtained 80 Experience Points.

Han Xing crouched down and examined Meiqiu's injuries.

Meiqiu obediently lay on his side, licking his wound.

This is troublesome. How am I supposed to treat an injured pet? Han Xing thought, rubbing his forehead in frustration.

He checked his backpack. There were only two items with healing effects.

Spirit Spring Water and Life Elixir.

"Will these two things work on pets?"

Han Xing was not sure, but there was no better option before him. He sighed and said, "I can only give it a try."

Han Xing took out a bottle of Life Elixir and had Meiqiu lie still.

Then, he opened the glass bottle containing the elixir, and a rich, refreshing fragrance filled his nostrils.

Just smelling the elixir made him feel invigorated.

"Hiss~"

Han Xing greedily took two deep breaths, then poured out the entire bottle of Life Elixir.

The emerald liquid shimmered with faint fluorescent specks. Upon touching Meiqiu's wound, it was rapidly absorbed.

"It worked!" Han Xing's eyes lit up.

Then, he saw Meiqiu's wound healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

At this pace, it would fully close in just a few minutes.

"What an incredible effect!"

Han Xing was overjoyed. This was his first time witnessing the effects of the Life Elixir firsthand, and its powerful restorative ability left him stunned for a moment.

At the same time, Han Xing let out a breath of relief inwardly.

Thankfully... the Life Elixir works on pets too. Otherwise, Meiqiu would have had to rely on his own self-healing ability to recover.

All pets had self-healing abilities, and humans were the same. The only difference was the speed of recovery.

However, when pets were injured, their combat power would be greatly reduced. If the injuries were serious, they might even die outright.

If that happened, Han Xing would probably be heartbroken to death.

Thinking of this, he picked Meiqiu up with one hand and said, "You did well today, but your level is still a little low. I'll take you out to level up first."

Having regained his energy, Meiqiu stretched out his short little legs and kicked them continuously.

More than ten minutes later, Han Xing approached another cloud only a dozen square meters in size.

When he went inside, he found two level 4 Mud Slimes.

The battle began. Having just recovered from his injuries with the Life Elixir, Meiqiu once again displayed his formidable combat strength.

He activated Extreme Speed and rushed ahead of the monsters, beginning close-quarters combat.

However, Han Xing did not let him fight alone this time.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The arrows flew out, dealing armor-piercing damage to both Mud Slimes.

Just then, black light flashed.

Meiqiu's sharp claws raked across them, leaving several wounds that emitted black smoke.

This was the effect of Meiqiu's third skill, Void Force. Besides suppressing healing, it also reduced defense.

Thus, Han Xing directly activated his skill, Multi-Shot Barrage!

Pfft pfft pfft!

All five arrows hit their targets.

They easily pierced through the Slimes' bodies. There was not even any need to trigger an armor-piercing effect to deal terrifying damage.

The two Mud Slimes were instantly killed by this barrage!

Han Xing was stunned. "So this is Meiqiu's defense reduction effect? It's truly powerful!"

"Against creatures with low defense to begin with, every arrow can deal maximum damage after their defense is reduced!"

Working together with Meiqiu was simply too satisfying. Han Xing excitedly clenched his fist.

Mud Slime LV4 *2 killed. Obtained 80 Experience Points. Pet 'Meiqiu' obtained 60 Experience Points.

Pet 'Meiqiu' has leveled up.

"Leveled up?"

Han Xing impatiently checked Meiqiu's attributes.

Pet Information: Void Dire Wolf (Juvenile)

Race: Void Clan

Level: LV2

Strength: 9, Agility: 16, Spirit: 8, Constitution: 9

"Holy crap!"

Han Xing was instantly astonished.

Although he had only gained one level, Meiqiu's attributes had jumped by a significant amount. Strength, Spirit, and Constitution had each increased by two or three points, which was still within expectations.

But his Agility had directly increased by 5 points!

What did that mean?

After all, human survivors only gained a total of four to six attribute points per level.

Yet Meiqiu gained 14 attribute points from a single level, nearly three or four times as much!

After gaining just a few more levels, Meiqiu's base attributes could even crush Han Xing's fully equipped self!

Han Xing could clearly sense that Meiqiu's speed had increased tremendously. Under the enhancement of black light, Han Xing could not even catch sight of Meiqiu's figure, much less hit him.

"So this is an S+ Growth Value pet? Terrifying!"

"If he keeps leveling up like this, he'll definitely become a major boss template!"

Han Xing was wildly excited, filled with anticipation for Meiqiu's future growth.
