    Chapter 227

    Two jets of blood burst from the Burrowing Rat's neck, splattering across the floor.

    "Squeeeak—!"

    A shrill, agonized cry echoed through the room.

    Even though Su Hao and Yashan had struck simultaneously, the fruit knives were simply too short. Their combined attack failed to completely sever the giant rat's neck, leaving it grievously wounded but still alive.

    Leaving a trail of fresh blood behind, the Burrowing Rat desperately retreated into the tunnel beneath the floor and vanished underground.

    Su Hao didn't chase it.

    Instead, he calmly drew a rune in the air.

    Perception.

    The rune activated instantly.

    Within a radius of nearly two hundred meters, every living presence was projected clearly into his mind.

    The image lasted only two seconds before fading...

    But two seconds were more than enough.

    Su Hao immediately pointed toward the orphanage wall.

    "There are accomplices outside."

    "Let's go."

    "We'll capture them."

    Yashan nodded without hesitation.

    The two quietly slipped on their shoes before carefully pushing open the dormitory door, making sure not to wake the others inside the orphanage.


    ---

    Only after they left did their roommate, Bai Jingchun, slowly awaken.

    Still half asleep, he rubbed his eyes.

    The two beds beside him were empty.

    There was a large hole in the floor.

    Blood was splattered everywhere.

    "...?"

    His sleepy brain completely stopped working.


    ---

    Although only five years old, Su Hao and Yashan possessed physiques far beyond ordinary adults.

    With a light push against the courtyard wall, both children vaulted over it effortlessly.

    While running, Su Hao activated Perception once more.

    The two sprinted straight toward the life signatures he had detected.


    ---

    Outside the orphanage...

    Brother Sheng rode atop the Black-Striped Leopard while watching Tuozi crawl out of the tunnel behind the Burrowing Rat.

    His expression immediately changed.

    "What happened?"

    "Where are the children?"

    The Burrowing Rat barely managed to crawl out of the hole before collapsing heavily onto the ground.

    Its body twitched twice.

    Then it stopped breathing forever.

    Tuozi looked at his beloved Summoned Beast with heartbroken eyes.

    "I don't know!"

    "The moment it poked its head out, something attacked it!"

    "If I hadn't reacted fast enough, I'd probably still be trapped underground."

    "My Burrowing Rat..."

    Brother Sheng crouched beside the corpse and examined the nearly severed neck.

    His brows slowly knitted together.

    "We're leaving."

    "We'll talk after we get away from here."

    "As for your Burrowing Rat..."

    "You can contract another one later."

    The Black-Striped Leopard picked up the corpse in its mouth before following Brother Sheng into a nearby alley.

    Tuozi sighed miserably.

    "You say that like contracting another Summoned Beast is easy..."


    ---

    After entering a narrow alley behind the orphanage, the two finally stopped.

    Just as Brother Sheng was about to discuss their next move...

    The Black-Striped Leopard suddenly emitted a low growl.

    Its entire body lowered instinctively.

    Brother Sheng immediately looked toward the alley entrance.

    Beneath the dim streetlight...

    A tiny child stood quietly there.

    At almost the same moment...

    The Black-Striped Leopard suddenly turned its head toward the opposite end of the alley.

    Brother Sheng and Tuozi hurriedly looked back.

    Another small child was calmly blocking their escape.

    The two men exchanged delighted glances.

    Their organization required them to abduct ten children every month.

    So far they had only completed eight.

    With only a few days left before month's end, they had been worrying about their quota.

    Who would've imagined...

    Two children would walk right into their hands?

    Brother Sheng climbed down from the Black-Striped Leopard.

    Each of them pulled out a piece of candy and approached one child.

    Smiling kindly, Brother Sheng said,

    "Little one..."

    "Uncle has candy..."

    Halfway through speaking...

    Both men suddenly stopped.

    Only then did they notice...

    Each child held a bloodstained fruit knife.

    Fresh blood still dripped slowly from the blades.

    An absurd thought surfaced simultaneously in both their minds.

    Could the Burrowing Rat...

    ...have been injured by these children?

    The idea was so ridiculous that both nearly laughed.

    How could two five-year-old children possibly injure a D-Rank Summoned Beast?

    But...

    Before they could dismiss the thought...

    They noticed something even stranger.

    The child opposite them wasn't afraid.

    Instead...

    He was calmly walking toward them.

    Knife in hand.

    His expression was one of pure curiosity.

    As though...

    He were studying them.

    For the first time...

    The two grown men felt an inexplicable chill run down their spines.

    Still...

    A child was only a child.

    They quickly steadied themselves.


    ---

    Without warning—

    Su Hao accelerated.

    His tiny figure burst forward with astonishing speed.

    Brother Sheng's pupils shrank violently.

    Before he could react, the fruit knife was already slashing toward his throat.

    Instinctively, he leaned backward.

    At that very instant, the Black-Striped Leopard sprang forward.

    Its massive claw swept toward Su Hao's head.

    High-Speed Claw Strike!

    The enormous black paw blurred through the air.

    Su Hao withdrew his blade.

    His feet shifted.

    Shadow Step.

    The leopard's claw sliced through empty air, leaving several deep grooves in the ground.

    Brother Sheng narrowly escaped death.

    Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

    That strike...

    If I had reacted half a second slower...

    I'd already be dead.

    He still couldn't believe what had just happened.

    How could a five-year-old possess such terrifying speed?


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    Su Hao had already appeared beside the Black-Striped Leopard.

    Blood Qi surged into the blade.

    At the same time...

    He activated two runes.

    Sharp.

    Penetration.

    Su Hao possessed more experience hunting large felines than perhaps anyone alive.

    Big cats possessed astonishing reflexes.

    Trying to stab them head-on rarely succeeded.

    The best opportunity was always...

    The instant after they attacked.

    But Su Hao had an even better method.

    He raised his left hand.

    Tier Two—Flash.

    A brilliant burst of white light exploded in the darkness.

    The Black-Striped Leopard let out a startled roar.

    Completely unprepared, its vision turned white.

    Its fur stood on end as it frantically retreated.

    Su Hao instantly seized the opportunity.

    He leapt forward.

    The knife thrust directly toward the leopard's skull.

    At the critical moment...

    The Black-Striped Leopard suddenly twisted its head into an almost impossible angle.

    The fatal stab missed by a hair.

    Slash!

    Instead...

    The blade carved a deep wound across its neck.

    Blood sprayed everywhere.

    The injured leopard roared and swung another massive paw toward Su Hao.

    Watching from behind, Brother Sheng's face turned pale.

    "So..."

    "A Summoner can directly control a Summoned Beast's movements..."

    Su Hao glanced thoughtfully at Brother Sheng.

    "So that's how it works."

    Without hesitation, he drew his blade back.

    The knife flashed once.

    The descending paw separated cleanly from the leopard's body.

    Its severed foreleg landed heavily on the ground.

    Su Hao immediately retreated several steps.

    The Black-Striped Leopard staggered back beside Brother Sheng, glaring at Su Hao with unprecedented fear.


    ---

    "Brother Sheng!"

    "Help me!!"

    Tuozi's terrified scream echoed from the opposite end of the alley.

    Brother Sheng hurriedly turned around.

    Then...

    He froze.

    The burly Tuozi had somehow been pinned beneath the much smaller Yashan.

    Both of Tuozi's arms had been twisted out of shape.

    His legs bent at unnatural angles.

    He lay on the ground screaming miserably.

    Brother Sheng stared blankly.

    "..."

    What kind of nightmare is this?

    Why are these children so terrifying?

    This isn't normal!

    At that moment...

    For the very first time...

    He began questioning whether joining this organization had been the biggest mistake of his life.

    From today onward...

    He suspected he'd never look at children the same way again.


    ---

    Brother Sheng immediately gave another command.

    Night Concealment!

    The Black-Striped Leopard's body gradually faded into the darkness until it was nearly invisible.

    Seeing this...

    Su Hao smiled faintly.

    He slowly raised one hand.

    "Tier Two..."

    "Lightning."

    Crack—!!

    A bolt of lightning descended from the night sky.

    It struck the Black-Striped Leopard squarely on the head.

    The current instantly arced into Brother Sheng beside it.

    One man.

    One beast.

    Both collapsed onto the ground simultaneously.

    Even Tuozi forgot about his own pain.

    His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

    "Lightning?!"

    "A human can use lightning?!"

    "And he's just a little kid!"

    "This... this makes no sense!"


    ---

    Su Hao calmly walked over.

    He knelt beside the Black-Striped Leopard.

    Then slowly drove the fruit knife straight into its forehead.

    Right down to the hilt.

    The leopard convulsed twice...

    Then fell completely still.

    Su Hao withdrew the knife.

    Using the leopard's fur, he carefully wiped the blood from the blade.

    Only then did he turn toward the two miserable Summoners.

    A warm, gentle smile slowly spread across his face.

    Brother Sheng and Tuozi felt every hair on their bodies stand on end.

    For some reason...

    That child's smile...

    ...was far more terrifying than any monster they had ever encountered.
