Chapter 25 Ravenous Hound

Afterwards, he saw a small bag of nails in the fallen TV cabinet and immediately picked it up. This was a rare item and perfect for reinforcing the raft.

He also found a fruit knife and kept it, thinking of giving it to Olivia for self-defense later.

Opening the refrigerator, he saw boxes of milk and several cans of beer inside.

Harry was overjoyed and quickly found a large plastic bag to put them all in.

"Beautiful, this loot is not small."

In addition, he took all the oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar found in the kitchen. Although these things may not be useful for now, Harry believed they would be useful later.

While he was rummaging through things, he suddenly noticed Olivia coming out. Although she was still a little unsteady on her feet, she had already recovered a lot. She held a large bag in her hand and slowly handed it to him.

"What is this?" Harry took the big bag and opened it, inside were all kinds of snacks, such as sunflower seeds, pistachios, raisins, candy, and so on, the whole big bag was full of them.

"Are these the snacks you usually eat?" Harry looked at Olivia.

Olivia nodded.

Harry smiled and said, "It's good, these are all food, hold onto this fruit knife." After that, he handed her the fruit knife.

Olivia took the fruit knife and was a little stunned.

"Your clothes are quite torn, change into another outfit, we should leave here now." Harry decided to leave since he couldn't find anything else useful here, he didn't want to waste any more time.

Olivia obediently went back to the bedroom and soon changed into a new white dress, almost identical to the previous one, with only slight differences, it was brand new and pure white all over.

Harry nodded in admiration and lifted two large plastic bags, saying, "Let's go."

Olivia didn't say anything, just followed behind him silently.

Harry walked out the door and saw her following him, under the sunlight, Olivia's face appeared pink and white, matching her white dress like a doll. Harry's heart suddenly moved.

She was not as attached to her father's body as he had imagined.

This put his mind at ease, he was worried that she would not want to leave, but he did not expect Olivia to be so obedient. Obviously, she was eager to leave this place from deep within.

No one knows what she experienced or heard while hiding in the closet. Perhaps in her heart, this place was like a nightmare, she had long wanted to escape, there was no lingering attachment.

Maybe it had been a long time since she saw the sunlight, suddenly coming out of the building and being exposed to the sun, Olivia couldn't help but raise her hand to shield her eyes. Suddenly, she looked at Harry as if she had seen something terrible, her face showing a look of fear.

Harry was looking at her at the moment, with his back to the long corridor behind him. Suddenly, he saw her face showing fear as she looked at him.

Harry understood that she wasn't afraid of looking at him, but she saw something behind him. As her face slightly lifted up, her line of sight was above his head.

In an instant, almost instinctively, Harry tilted his head sharply.

Almost at the same moment, something grazed past his shoulder, blood spattered, and a deep cut appeared immediately, revealing bone.

"Watch out!" Olivia finally exclaimed, looking extremely frightened as she stepped back and stumbled to the ground.

In front of her, a black shadow flew over Harry's head and landed on the ground in front of him, appearing in front of Olivia.

It was a blood-red dog, no longer recognizable as any breed, mutated and covered in red muscles that looked as if the skin had been peeled away, leaving only muscles. It was hideous and monstrous.

It had sharp, hooked claws that extended nearly ten centimeters when it reached out, and it had just hooked onto the corridor above and lunged down from above Harry's head.

Harry was completely unaware, but he instinctively turned his head when he saw the sudden fear on Olivia's face, and the claw that had just struck was not his shoulder, but his forehead.

Although he had avoided a fatal blow, Harry was still sweating profusely, and his muscles were twitching and swelling.

He activated his special ability, "Type 1 Muscle Hypertrophy," and contracted the wound in his shoulder to slow down the flow of blood to prevent excessive bleeding.

With a roar from his mouth, Harry threw the two plastic bags he was carrying on the ground, disregarding the burning pain tearing through his left shoulder. He tightly gripped the iron rod with his right hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. He charged forward.

The creature, with red muscles all over its body, leaped over Harry's head and landed right in front of Olivia. It only needed to take one more jump forward to bite Olivia's throat.

After finally finding a companion, Harry didn't want to lose them suddenly.

All his strength exploded in an instant, and the iron rod swung heavily with a slight whistling wind.

A blurry pattern resembling a vertical eye appeared on his forehead, activating the "Peeking Eye Rune."

"Name: Ravenous Hound, an elite species in the second-level Spiritual Source Beasts. It is gluttonous, likes to ambush, and has a one percent chance of evolving into a Gluttonous Monarch. Killing a Ravenous Hound may grant the special ability 'Fangs of Gluttony.'"

Harry's heart sank slightly.

This Ravenous Hound was actually an elite species in the second-level Spiritual Source Beasts? The one-eyed frog he encountered before was also an elite species, but it was only a first-level Spiritual Source Beast. There was no doubt that the Ravenous Hound in front of him was much stronger than the one-eyed frog.

Without much thought, Harry gave it his all and swung the iron rod with a slight whistling wind. The force behind the strike was not insignificant.

Instead of pouncing on Olivia and biting her, the Ravenous Hound suddenly turned around, dodging the iron rod. It spun around and leaped into the air, like an eagle swooping down, attacking Harry.

The Ravenous Hound's jumping power was astonishing, leaping at least two to three meters high, almost touching the ceiling. Harry calmly stepped back and caught sight of the corpse of a beast lying on the ground by his feet. He immediately stretched his toe and slid it under the corpse.

On this long corridor, the bodies of some beasts were lying haphazardly. According to Harry's guess, they were all killed by Olivia's father.

Just as the Ravenous Hound was about to pounce, Harry picked up the corpse of the beast with his foot and charged towards the Ravenous Hound.
