Chapter 470 - Dog Beast

It was some sort of secret lab and most things were destroyed, but from what Adma could see, they seemed to be researching on people and animals.

Adam could understand why his aunt would want to destroy such a facility, since it was horrible to produce such things, but how did his aunt know about it and there was such a strong evil energy lingering after she had left, worried him.

After exploring the facility, it was large and there were smashed pieces of all sorts of technological appliances that Adam had never seen before, while most things had been thoroughly destroyed.

It was to the point that Adam had to assume that his aunt held a personal grudge towards those within the facility, or had stolen something and didn't want to leave any traces.

Either way, if it truly was her aunt that had been here like Nathaniel's information said, then she was definitely much more powerful than him.

There were dents in the wall of the facility, and Adam attempted to do the same with an attack of his own, but he didn't manage to do so.

His fist strike made only a small dent, and he knew that physical strength didn't dictate the victor in a battle, but it still didn't change the fact that her strength was incredible and she was very dangerous.

Adam had seen enough and there wasn't anything else in the facility that he needed to see, but suddenly something pounced on him.

It was already shocking that he was unable to sense the attack coming, since even with his spiritual sense being dampened, he would have been able to sense the attack.

Instantly, Adam withdrew his Devouring Death Daggers and slashed the stomach of the creature that had pounced on him, causing it to jump away, then got up and prepared himself to fight.

It was very dark, and it took Adam's eyes a moment to adjust and see what exactly had attacked him clearly.

However, when he did, he was shocked by what he saw and was shocked to find that it hadn't been hit by his slash.

It appeared to be a small dog, but its eyes were glowing green and it appeared as though it had been left behind in the facility.

Looking at its collar, Adam instantly recognised something that caused him to return his daggers into his body and lose all desire to fight against it.

Sitting down on the ground, Adam put his hand out to the dog and showed no signs of hostility towards it, while it also didn't seem to have malicious intentions when it pounced on Adam.

Although Adam hadn't been able to sense it and was shocked by its great strength and speed, it hadn't slashed or harmed him in any way, while it appeared to be a normal dog.

Adam was by no means letting his guard down or judging the dog before him based on its appearance, as that was a mistake that he would never remake after fighting so many different beings in both dungeons that appeared friendly, but were actually dangerous monsters.

However, around its neck was a necklace that Adam remembered that his aunt would always wear, and it was attached to the dog's collar.

Seeing that Adam wasn't hostile, the dog slowly approached him after being frightened by Adam's daggers and sudden attack, but when it reached Adam, it was surprised to feel him scratching its head.

[My aunt leaving this behind here could be a message or sign for me, or maybe she wants me to keep this dog? I just can't understand what is happening and for now, I should keep this dog with me until I find my aunt, and maybe it can be useful] thought Adam to himself.

The dog seemed relatively intelligent and in truth, it was a beast and not an animal, meaning that it seemed to have cultivated.

From what Adam could tell, it was likely to be an animal that they had been experimenting on that his aunt had freed and left behind in the facility.

After being alone and hungry in the facility for so long, it began consuming the dead bodies of all the beasts, animals and people within the facility.

All the abundance of energy within those corpses, along with the substances that they had used to experiment and the evil energy had caused some mutations in the dog.

Although its outward appearance may be ordinary, it was a peak Advanced Level Beast and for some reason had my aunt's necklace attached to its collar.

"It is fast, quite strong and intelligent, but has no experience in combat and also seems too friendly, so won't be any use in a fight,"

Adam was debating to himself whether to take it with him, but seeing as his aunt was somehow connected to the dog and that it was quite capable, he decided to take it with him.

"Let's go," said Adam as he began walking away and signalled to the dog to follow after him.

Seeing that Adam was leaving and taking it with him, the dog was elated and giddily followed after Adam.

Climbing out of the hatch, Adam was greeted by a few dozen peak Advanced Cultivators that all wore the same military suit.

After he climbed out, the dog beast jumped out to accompany him and could sense the hostility that the soldiers and Adam were showing each other.

Since Adam was the one that freed it, the dog beast felt like it needed to follow him and prepared to fight alongside him if necessary.

Adam sensed that and was amused and impressed by its loyalty and bravery, while the soldiers were yet to do anything and seemed to be there because my exploration of the secret lab had alerted them.

Standing there with a small dog beast by his side, Adam was calm and had a smile on his face despite being surrounded by armed and dangerous cultivators.
