The Reappearance of the Origin Beast

A middle-aged couple, along with an older girl and a boy in his teens, passed by the shop and entered Lin Shi's line of sight.

Both middle-aged individuals and the girl were carrying large bags, while the boy had his hands empty.

They appeared to be a family of four out searching for supplies.

As the four approached the entrance of a gold shop, they glanced inside the wide-open store, seemingly preparing to take a look.

Lin Shi spoke up to remind them:

"Someone is here; if you want to rest, go somewhere else."

Upon hearing Lin Shi's words, the two middle-aged people were about to leave, but the boy stopped in his tracks.

"Is this your house?! I'll go in if I want to!"

The boy had a sour expression, as if the whole world owed him five million, and his tone was very aggressive.

He was about to step inside, kicking glass shards along the way.

The girl nearby quickly grabbed him: "Ah Qiu, don't cause trouble."

However, this sentence seemed to touch a nerve in the young man, and he flung off the girl's hand, cursing as he strode into the store:

"I'm coming in, what's it to you, brat? It's not his place, so what's the big deal if I come in?"

The boy named Ah Qiu walked straight up to Lin Shi.

It wasn't until he saw the Demon King that he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

But seeing the beef pie in the Demon King's mouth and in Lin Shi's hand, Ah Qiu's steps halted again.

He stared straight at the beef pie.

At this moment, the three people outside also followed and came in.

The middle-aged couple, who had been about to call Ah Qiu out, couldn't tear their eyes away from the beef pie either.

Although it had only been a few days since the loss of electricity and natural gas,

for those accustomed to cooked food and meat at every meal, these days were as hard to endure as eating dirt.

"Young man, it's such a waste to feed such good meat pies to a dog, isn't it?"

The middle-aged woman looked at the beef pie by the Demon King's mouth with a face full of regret and couldn't help but say.

The Demon King was not pleased with what the middle-aged woman said.

He raised his head, his eyes showing a fierce light as he looked at the middle-aged woman, ready to forgo the pie and eat people if a word was out of place.

The middle-aged woman immediately closed her mouth in fear, hiding behind the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at the beef pie, swallowing his saliva, and then looked at Lin Shi and said:

"Young man, you should put a leash on such a big dog when taking it out; otherwise, what if it bites someone? Why don't you tie it up first?"

"If you're afraid of being bitten, you can leave; you've already disturbed our meal."

Lin Shi replied indifferently.

The middle-aged man was choked by Lin Shi's words, a displeased look appearing on his face, but after glancing at the Demon King, he said nothing.

At this moment, the boy named Ah Qiu spoke up:

"Mom! I want to eat the meat pie!"

The middle-aged woman awkwardly glanced at Lin Shi, pulling the boy and saying:

"Mom will make it for you when we get home, let's go."

"There's no meat at home, we don't even have a hot meal, I want the meat pie, I want it now!"

The boy pulled the middle-aged woman's clothes and stamped his feet:

"I won't leave unless I get the meat pie!"

Annoyed by the boy's noise, Lin Shi looked at him, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

The boy was immediately frightened into silence.

"Young man, can we trade these things for four, no! Three, for three beef pies?"

The girl among the four also had her eyes fixed on the meat pie, and upon hearing this, she lowered her head.

Lin Shi refused without a second thought:

"No way."

The woman's bag was filled with summer clothes, curtains, carpets, and such items, which were of no use to him at all.

"How about those two pieces, or just one! Please help, my son hasn't had any meat for several days, he's become so thin from hunger."

The demon king glanced at the boy's round belly and round face, tilted his head, seemingly puzzled as to why the woman was talking nonsense.

Seeing Lin Shi unwilling to trade, the middle-aged man said irritably:

"They'd rather feed the dog than trade, stop embarrassing yourself here, let's go!"

The middle-aged woman sighed helplessly, pulling the boy, and the family walked out.

Lin Shi ignored them and continued to have lunch.

He casually stuffed another piece of beef pie into the demon king's mouth, who had already finished one.

The demon king, however, did not accept it, but suddenly raised his head and looked outside.

Lin Shi turned his head to look at the street outside, following the demon king's gaze.

At this moment, the boy named Aqiu suddenly broke free from the middle-aged woman's hand and rushed up to snatch the meat pie Lin Shi was preparing to feed the demon king!

"Give it to me!!"

Lin Shi noticed the boy rushing over to snatch the meat pie, a flash of murderous intent on him.

At the same time, the demon king's aura also changed instantly, biting towards the boy who rushed in front of him.

He bit off the boy's hand in one bite!

"Ah!!"

Two screams rang out at the same time, one from the boy and the other from the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman pounced over and hugged the boy who fainted from pain in an instant, desperately calling out the boy's name.

The demon king spat out the bloodied hand from his mouth, as if spitting out some dirty thing.

At this time, there were already faint sounds of commotion coming from outside.

Lin Shi was about to go out and see what was happening.

"Stop right there!!"

The middle-aged man glared and questioned Lin Shi:

"Your dog bit off my son's hand, and you just want to leave like this?!"

Lin Shi didn't even turn his head.

"He rushed up to snatch things himself, not being bitten to death is already my dog showing mercy."

He patted the demon king's head and said, "Next time you encounter someone who snatches things like this, just bite them to death."

The demon king obediently nodded, turned his head and looked at the boy again, seemingly thinking about whether to go over and bite him to death now.

"Do you even have any humanity! Feeding food to dogs is one thing, but treating human lives so carelessly!!"

The middle-aged man shouted, but he didn't dare to come forward to avenge his son.

At this time, clear screams and panicked footsteps could be heard from the street outside.

"Help me!!"

A group of people were fleeing madly on this street, with a calico cat, black and brown, as big as a mountain cat, chasing a group of people behind them.

This cat was extremely fast, with its sharp and fierce eyes clearly losing the lazy and gentle characteristics of an ordinary cat.

Its sharp claws would pierce through a person's body with each grab, tearing a piece of flesh from the person's body.

After knocking a person down, it would continue to claw until the person was a bloody mess under its claws, and then it would pounce on the next person.

It seemed to have already treated humans as mice under its claws.

After playing with another person to death, it leaped up with super jumping ability and directly jumped in front of the fleeing crowd.

It looked at the desperate humans mockingly.

When the cat approached within a hundred meters of this shop, the treasure pot interface in front of Lin Shi issued a reminder:

[A first-order source beast has been detected within a hundred meters]

Another source beast has appeared!
