Terrifying Speed of Improvement

"Hmm? The Mirage aren't connected... There's another Mirage about 500 meters ahead, and that Mirage's bigger."

Cao Fengqi out of the Mirage, his gaze fixed on the blurry building ahead. "But there are no level 7 supplies inside, only four level 6 items. As for the level 8 supply we scanned, it's still further ahead."

His gaze swept over the dilapidated steps ahead, and he slowly approached.

Although there were no valuable items in the Mirage ahead, the Mirage Rat were now an invaluable resource to him.

"Zhizhi, squeak, squeak."

"Zhizhi, squeak, squeak."

This time, the moment Cao Fengqi stepped into the Mirage, a series of terrifying mental attacks came crashing down upon him.

"Um?"

Cao Fengqi's expression changed, and he felt his head go blank and his mind become hazy.

"Gaga gaga!" "Roar!"

The Xiaotian Dog beside him roared, its eyes fixed on the eight Mirage Rat inside.

Nightmare unleashed Mental Smite without hesitation.

"Zhizhi!"...

The eight Mirage Rat hissed, and green Plague Rat coalesced in front of them, attacking them.

"Roar!" "Caw caw caw!"

The Xiaotian Dog saw this and immediately went to greet them.

However, even with their strength, they were no match for the attack of this horde of Mirage Rat.

"Call!"

"Crimson Flames Burn the River!" "Boom!"

When the Plague Rat broke through the Nightmare's attack and reached Cao Fengqi, he suddenly came to his senses.

His gaze sharpened, Flame Wing Feather Sword in his hand unleashed a five-meter-long wave of fire, sweeping away the green Plague Rat phantom in front of him.

"Damn it, I really shouldn't have underestimated these Plague Rat. I was actually controlled for more than a second just now!"

"Luckily, Nightmare and the others managed to stop it a little, otherwise, in just over a second, they would have been either dead or seriously injured."

"A mental strength of 400 is merely the minimum requirement to avoid being put to Mirage Sleep. If dozens of Mirage Rat were to attack me simultaneously, even if I couldn't fall asleep, I would still be controlled for a few seconds."

A few seconds is enough to decide life or death.

"Hmph, a bunch of fools who don't know what's good for them!"

"A fleeting shadow, yet a thousand miles are but a short distance."

Cao Fengqi slashed through the Plague Rat in front of him, letting out a cold snort with lingering fear. His Transcendent Emberfire erupted, and he streaked through the air like a fiery shadow, charging into the midst of the Mirage Rat.

Of all the Mirage Rat, only the Mirage Sleep ability posed any threat to him.

Once this skill goes on cooldown, the Mirage Rat will be nothing more than a rat to him.

"Puff puff puff!"

"Puff puff puff!"

The eight Mirage Rat were completely powerless against him.

"Four contracts, four to allow the Mirage Rat battle pet to absorb its Sever Soul and Slash Spirit, cultivating a level 7 Mirage Rat leader comparable to the Third Sequence."

Looking at the eight Mirage Rat, Cao Fengqi decided, "Furthermore, I will continue onward only after the Mirage Rat have recovered from their injuries."

The recent accident made him realize that although he could instantly kill the Mirage Rat, his mental strength was still a major weakness.

Let's play it safe and wait for the contracted Mirage Rat to recover from its injuries before making any moves.

"It's back!"

The healing effect inside the Shepherd's Beast Robe was quite good. Two hours later, Cao Fengqi looked at the eight spirited Mirage Rat battle pets in front of him, his eyes gleaming.

"My own battle pet army is now quite large; in the future, I can completely run an army all by myself."

"Hehe, keep going!"

Cao Fengqi glanced at the Nightmare Xiaotian Dog and the others beside him, a total of 15 battle pets. He stepped out of the Mirage with a smile on his face.

"Has the view ahead changed? Is it Mirage or a real forest?"

He continued walking forward, and after walking about 300 meters, a strange forest came into view.

It was completely different from the Mirage of the church building behind it.

"If that forest is Mirage, judging from its size, there must be no fewer than 10 Mirage Rat inside."

"Also, there's one level 8 item and two level 7 items there."

Cao Fengqi sized him up.

"Even if there were a dozen or so Mirage Rat, I could easily sweep them away in my current state!"

He murmured to himself, his face full of anticipation as he continued to approach.

"Sure enough, this forest was Mirage. The large cylindrical warning structure in front of me must be a pillar; if I continue walking, I'll bump into it..."

"These Mirage Rat are cunning. The trees weren't positioned properly, which means they're fake. What looks like an empty space is actually a pillar."

Entering the woods, Cao Fengqi smiled as he looked at the surrounding scenery. To verify his guess, he sent Xiaotian Dog over.

"Bang!" "Awooo!"

Sure enough, the Xiaotian Dog bumped its head let out a bark and turned its head to look at him.

"Hehe."

Cao Fengqi smiled, walked forward, raised his arm, and stared intently at the 'warning objects' displayed in the script around him.

Trying to ambush me again? Sorry, I'm cheating!

"Da da da da!"

A hail of bullets rained down in an instant.

"Zhizhi!"...

As bullets rained down, the Mirage Rat, realizing their ambush had failed, instantly launched an attack on Cao Fengqi and his group.

"Superior!"

Cao Fengqi located the group of Mirage Rat, and with a thought, gave commands to his battle pets.

"Zhizhi!" "Caw caw!" "Roar roar!"

The invisible spiritual forces began to clash, with Mirage Sleep facing Mirage Sleep and Mirage Rat unleashing its three-pronged attack.

"Eleven of them! Even without me taking action, my team of battle pets can hold their own against them!"

"The Mirage Rat no longer pose any threat to me."

Cao Fengqi looked at the situation before him with a calm and relaxed expression.

He smiled slightly, flicked the Flame Wing Feather Sword in his hand, and leisurely charged towards the Mirage Rat.

[Scanned within a 3km radius, 66 new Tier 1 supplies... 8 Tier 6 supplies, 17 Tier 7 supplies, and 5 Tier 8 supplies have been added.]

Just as he took two steps, another piece of good news arrived.

"..."

"Haha, this is so awesome! From now on, all I have to do is hunt Mirage Rat to quickly increase my strength and acquire treasures."

"At this snowball effect, I'll be invincible in no time!"

Upon seeing the information about the cheat Cao Fengqi could no longer contain himself and burst into wild laughter.
