Reincarnated as a Dog with System-Novel

Chapter 102 - Sgrade Awakened Human Being?

"Ahh… Ah… My… it is not paining anymore." The elder cried, tears falling out of his eyes. He subconsciously lifted his hand and cupped it with respect to the small cat in front of him.

"Please. Please. Heal my grand daughter also."

The elder cried, and suddenly everyone's excited faces changed. They all remained silent. No one had the heart to tell him that his granddaughter was nowhere to be found.

The elder continued sobbing and after Coco healed the old man's injury, the small cat wobbled over, trying to reach the next person but she fainted.

Qin Hua was the first to react and she immediately rushed over to the cat, while also checking its status.

[Ah! You dummy! You used your healing magic until your stamina ran out?]

She sprinted to the heap of goblin heads and took one out, rushing back to the cat. She then placed a mana core on the beast, helping it absorb.

Xu Meilin also ran over to the tabby cat and lifted her to hold her small body. "What happened to you, Coco?"

The cat cooed in her lap, already feeling better. The mana core swiftly replenished the stamina and gave the cat some small stat bumps.

Qin Hua also took out some mutated boa's meat to feed the cat, after which it was back to its oblivious cute self, flashing a smile at everyone.

She then cocked her head as if she remembered something and quickly walked over to heal the next person.

"Ahh… Ah… Coco, don't go. You are too weak." Xu Meilin reached out to catch the cat but she was slippery and dodged her.

Finally, she only stopped resisting when Qin Hua barked. [Don't overdo it, you dummy. Keep an eye on your energy level. Woof!]

The cat cutely nodded and once again continued healing, slowly, bit by bit.

Everyone who watched the whole thing looked shocked, but it wasn't really that much more shocking than being attacked by an army of goblins.

Besides, since Qin Hua had special abilities, it wasn't really that much more of a stretch for them to see a cat also have special abilities.

So they quickly dispersed, continuing to do whatever they were doing. Alex and Xu Meilin excitedly chatted with each other and Luo Zu was trying to cozy up to Guan Ye.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, walked over to Qin Hua and squatted in front of her. "The cat can heal?" He asked her.

Qin Hua nodded her head. "Since when?" Lu Chen chuckled and ruffled her lovingly.

"That's good. These people need some help. Do you think she will be able to heal Bing Che?"

[Hmm…] Qin Hua had no idea. Coco had only now started using its abilities and moreover, she was very weak. Could she possibly regrow limbs that were completely destroyed?

"Maybe in time right?" Lu Chen ruffled her again. He then paused and asked the other thing that was bugging him. "But… are you sure that the cat won't become rabid?"

Qin Hua once again nodded. [No, that dummy is harmless. Woof! Woof!]

"Alright then… Ummm… we will be leaving soon." Lu Chen muttered and stood up to take care of things. He had actually wanted to also thank her, but it felt futile at this point.

So he simply clenched his fists and walked away.

Qin Hua silently gazed at his cold distant back. She couldn't help but wish that she could speak with him just like how she could speak with Coco.

Meow?

She gazed at the small cat and then at the remaining mana cores.

[You want to become stronger, buddy?]

Meow?

She had originally planned to distribute this amongst the rest of the group, but now it looked like it would be better to help Coco level up a bit more.

So she grabbed a handful of goblin heads and watched as the small cat absorbed everything one by one.

After pondering for a bit, she even coughed up some more coins to buy another 'cleansing potion' from the system and tossed it into the cat's mouth.

[Ugghh… My money is dwindling. You better work your ass off, buddy. Woof.]

[Yes, Master.] The cat meowed and Qin Hua sighed again.

[You have no idea what that means, do you?]

[Yes, Master. Meow!]

[Come here, dummy. Woof.] She shook her head helplessly and the pair of dog and cat walked around, the latter following the former.

Xu Meilin, meanwhile, looked at the two from a distance. "Alex, what is going on there? Little white and coco are acting so chummy with each other?"

"Who knows?" Alex shrugged.

And… a few minutes later…

Everyone settled in two trucks, Guan Ye ready to drive one and Luo Zu prepared to drive the other.

Alex and Xu Meilin were on the first truck along with half of the survivors. Lu Chen and Qin Hua were on the second truck along with the other half of the survivors.

They couldn't afford to spend any more time at the site of the battle.

It was inevitable that the numerous corpses littered around and the strong stench of death would only attract stronger enemies.

They were now about 25 in total, not including the cat, dog, and the unconscious guy, but only five of them and the dog were capable of putting up any amount of fight.

So they quickly packed up and moved. They needed to get as far away as possible from here.

Even though traveling in a bigger group was more dangerous, they decided to go through with this. Lu Chen ultimately made this decision for everyone.

Their group might attract stronger beasts, but there was no denying that they now needed to start hunting these stronger beasts.

Besides, they couldn't leave these many people behind, especially when they were injured and helpless.

Others as well silently agreed to this and no one raised any objections.

Qin Hua took care of all the provisions and the supplies with her storage pouches. So they only had to help the survivors get seated on the truck and it didn't take them long.

The two trucks roared alive and drove away from the hellish stadium one after the other.

Everyone including Qin Hua turned around to take one long look at the aftermath of the gory massacre. The world they lived in had truly changed.

…

…

…

A few hours after they had left…

Loud thudding noises resounded in the silent graveyard of the goblin army. Ten human beings emerged from the dust that settled and they looked around in silence.

"Hmm? Someone took care of the goblin army before we did?" One of them muttered.

"Aha ha ha ha. I love this smell. Pure death and destruction." Another one loudly chortled.

All these human beings were wearing armors and not like the makeshift ones prepared from goblin's loin cloths.

A tall and thin man flicked his finger and a beam of red light flickered over the entire stadium. "No one is here."

"I guessed as much."

"How big a group do you think managed to take down such a big army?"

"Hmmm… Do you think maybe there is an S grade awakened human being in this city?"

"That would explain this massacre."

"Only our team leader is capable of such a devastation."

"No wonder there were so many survivors in the city."

The group looked at each other and then nodded. "Let's just go back. This place is going to be swarming with pests soon. We can let the C team or D team deal with this."

"Alright."

The silence once again returned to the stadium as the ten figures disappeared into thin air.

Surprisingly, this didn't last long.

…

…

…

A couple of hours later…

Huge shadows flickered in the skies, but these were not airplanes. In fact, they were beasts. These beasts were unlike any other beasts that had ever lived on the planet.

They were huge, gigantic, and powerful. An aura of death and destruction leaked from them.

They had beaks and wings like that of birds but their bodies were covered with scales like that of reptiles.

They had cruel slit-like eyes, though unlike the mutated beasts there was wisdom and intelligence in their eyes.

They didn't land on the dirty corpse filled land and simply scanned the area from above up, their slit-like eyes shimmering with arrogance and pride as they looked over everything on the ground.

They flew around just like that for a few minutes before one of the beasts let out a loud angry growl.

The group of flying beasts then started shrieking loudly as if they were communicating with each other. They were speaking in a language that humans wouldn't understand.

"The descendent's aura. This is definitely the descendent's aura. We need to go back and report to the Emperor."

The beasts shrieked for a while and then disappeared just as the other set of human beings had disappeared, leaving the huge stadium grounds once again empty and desolate, only littered with goblin corpses.
