This World is Too Crazy!

Without the bright light of the Torch or the white light of the flashlight, the entire Shelter Number Two was pitch black, with only a sliver of light shining through the large hole on the first floor.

Outside, Oreo's frantic barking continued, but the other two barks changed their tone.

For some reason, Su Mo heard a human emotion from the two barks - mockery?

Or disdain?

Step by step, he trod on the stairs, advancing in the dark. Su Mo walked steadily, the human fear in his eyes rapidly receding, replaced by a bestial calmness.

Concentrating his mind, the game panel appeared, and he selected the Illustration Scan function.

[No Mutated Beasts detected within a kilometer radius of the player]
[Today's attempts 0/3]

The last chance was used up, failing to scan the appearance of the creatures outside, Su Mo's spirit became even more tense.

Crouching at the corner between the first and second floors, Su Mo placed the crossbow on the railing of the stairwell, quietly aiming at the area below the hole.

"Awoo~ Awoo~"

"Woof~"

Hearing Oreo's panicked and aggrieved voice outside, as well as another contemptuous bark, Su Mo clenched his lips tightly.

"Oreo, run! Let them in!"

Su Mo roared silently in his heart, hoping that Oreo could be smart and escape quickly.

If there was only one enemy, Su Mo would have the confidence to rush out and confront them head-on.

However, when facing unknown creatures, once the number exceeded one, humans could only rely on their intelligence, which differed from that of beasts, to win.

Suddenly, Oreo let out a high-pitched bark, followed by two short barks, and then another high-pitched bark.

Hearing this sound, a hint of joy appeared on Su Mo's calm face.

This was the first letter that Su Mo had taught Oreo in the two days they had been unable to leave the shelter.

In Morse code, it was the first letter of "run," P.

It meant that there were strong enemies outside, and they should detour.

Sure enough, after Oreo made this sound, two cheers of "woof" rang out outside.

Along the broken hole, Su Mo stared intently at the opening.

Two footsteps landed on the soil, the soft thud of stepping on the ground, had already faintly transmitted into the hole. After being reflected by the wall, Su Mo heard it clearly.

"Lighter than my footsteps, not very heavy, preliminary suspicion is that they are bipedal animals."

It didn't matter if he didn't understand the skill of identifying people by their voices. Through careful listening, and based on his own comparison, Su Mo relaxed.

The footsteps were one in front of the other, very crisp, completely inconsistent with the characteristics of canine mammals, but rather more like humans.

The sound was very light, indicating that the other party was not a heavyweight animal, and would not possess that crushing level of strength and speed.

One second... two seconds... as the sound got closer and closer, two unknown creatures finally approached the hole.

"Woof awoo woof hiss woof ooh woof beep woof qi woof?"

"Woof poof woof bing woof hiss ooh ooh woof!"

Two iron blocks and a rope clearly attracted the attention of the unknown creatures, and a headache-inducing, inexplicable sound transmitted through the hole.

I can't understand their words! Su Mo could only concentrate his mind and carefully analyze the emotional changes of the two creatures in their voices.

"Fortunately, the second creature's tone is very firm. Although the first one had some doubts, I don't know what it said, but it covered it up."

Su Mo's heart was in his throat, fearing that the two monsters would lie in wait at the hole, or call more monsters to use a human wave tactic.

The two silly dogs, no, the two "people" were obviously not very intelligent.

They were even bold enough to grab the rope that Su Mo had prepared and hang down.

In the bright area of the hole, a furry black leg had already appeared in Su Mo's field of vision.

At the foot, it was wrapped in a boot made of some unknown material.

"So thin, looks like two bamboo pole monsters, their combat power can't be that strong!"

Grasping the crossbow's rear handle, finger on the trigger, Su Mo stared intently at the descending figure.

Another half-leg's worth of descent, and the figure appeared wearing a primitive-style animal skin dress.

Before Su Mo could continue observing, the monster suddenly dropped rapidly, its entire body appearing in view.

"Holy shit!"

Because of the cave's light, Su Mo clearly saw the monster's full appearance.

The horror in his heart almost drove him to cry out.

"This is... a Kobold?"

The sliding monster's upper body skin was scaled, the color gradually changing from dark brown on the lower body to black on the upper body.

If you didn't look closely, the head was a slightly abstract dog's head, with two light-colored small horns, glowing eyes, and a tail as straight as a rat's.

Coupled with the monster's earlier voice, Su Mo instantly determined that these two monsters were the legendary, and in the game, familiar monsters - Kobolds! "Woof hiss hiss!"

Forcibly suppressing the urge to attack, Su Mo calmly watched the Kobold that had just slid down shout loudly, calling for its partner.

A spear was thrown down and caught by the first Kobold, then a wooden stick was thrown down and placed on the ground by the Kobold.

Immediately afterward, the second Kobold began to slide down the rope.

Perhaps because of a different breed, the second Kobold's legs were mixed with blood-colored patterns, rising from the ankles all the way up to its cheek.

In the choice of animal skin skirt, the latter Kobold also seemed more refined, with a faint noble feeling.

Once both had landed, the first Kobold kicked the skull of the miserable old brother to the side, clearing a path for the noble Kobold.

With everything done, the noble Kobold patted the dust off its body, picked up its wooden stick, and began to look around.

At the same time, Su Mo completely shifted his gaze away, gently lowering his head, letting the stairs' edge block the Kobold's view.

It's not easy to see the dark from the light.

But... Su Mo didn't dare to gamble.

"This world is too crazy, what kind of creatures are Kobolds?"

If biologists were here, they would be overjoyed, shouting that they had discovered a new intelligent animal.

But if you asked them to explain the habits of this new type of creature, without a lot of experimentation, they would be at a loss.

Fortunately, the two Kobolds didn't seem to care if there was anyone inside, and directly began to rummage through Shelter Number Two.

"Kill the first Kobold or the noble Kobold first?"

After a moment of hesitation.

Su Mo decided to first take out the Kobold with the spear.

In this environment, the crossbow could only fire one shot, giving him no chance to reload.

So the first monster to be eliminated had to be the one with the greatest threat.

Of the two, Su Mo chose the easiest to identify, and the one that appeared to be holding a weapon, the first Kobold.

Raising his head, his eyes fixed on the first Kobold rummaging under the table.

Su Mo's finger tightened on the trigger.

Gently moving the angle of the crossbow, with each movement, Su Mo did it as slowly and gently as possible, ensuring that there was no sound of metal rubbing against metal.

The two "cute Kobolds" had no reaction at all, still communicating foolishly, searching.

Trying to find some treasures of sufficient value.

Shui! In the dark shelter, a piercing sound suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, a splash of blood erupted from the first Kobold's neck.

The crossbow bolt coated in Acid Rain was almost a guaranteed kill, without the protection of skin, quickly corroding and rupturing the first Kobold's fragile blood vessels.

In the next second, all that could be heard in the shelter was the gurgling sound of blood being coughed up.

After looking it over again and confirming that Kobold Number One no longer had any fighting ability, Su Mo took the steps two at a time and entered the first floor.

He threw the crossbow in his hand hard at the noble kobold to disrupt its line of sight.

Focusing his mind, he summoned the Beech Spear and charged forward.

"Aiya! Aiya! You dog thing, watch me skewer you, ahhhhh!"

Su Mo unleashed all his strength, shouting fiercely as he charged.

The thunderous roar echoed back and forth throughout Shelter Number One, like muffled thunder rumbling, making people's eardrums ache.

The kobold on the other side was also startled by the sound, and almost stumbled.

However, Su Mo's charging speed was still too slow. The darkness in the shelter and the obstacles underfoot made Su Mo afraid to sprint recklessly.

It also gave the noble kobold a chance to breathe.

A light began to gather in the kobold's hand, and before Su Mo could rush up, it had already gathered into a small fireball.

"Damn! What is this thing!"
