Transcendent Sequence Rune Detected
"Qiangzi, did you buy the soft armor?"
In front of the Liu family's shelter, Liu Fengshan saw his son and daughter-in-law return and asked them.
"Dad, we got it."
Liu Qiang nodded when he saw his father.
"Good." Liu Fengshan nodded.
"Qiangzi, put your things down. Let's go over to your sister's place."
Just then, Mother Liu, Zhang Chunfen, came out of the shelter and gestured to them. "Take two Moon Spirit Stones and give them to your sister. Didn't she come asking for them last time?"
"Oh, you don't know? I just heard someone say that Cao Fengqi from the Cao family is on the rise. When our migration group ran into evil beasts today, that young fellow had a transcendent firearm and killed six Color-Changing Skeletal Centipedes with six shots. He's really something."
Liu Qiang opened his mouth to speak, but his mother kept talking, making him stop.
"And I only found out today that the Cao family's shelter is now a full hundred square meters. I also heard that they're living very well now."
"I never would have thought it."
Zhang Chunfen spoke with a hint of emotion. "Who would have thought that foolish spendthrift of the Cao family would be so capable? When we go to their place, make sure you're polite to Cao Fengqi."
"No wonder, no wonder."
Realization dawned on Wei Chunchun's face. She hurriedly said, "Mom, we just ran into your daughter and the Cao family at Worldweaver's Clothing Store. You wouldn't believe it-they bought ten sets of level 3 quality clothes, a whole ten sets, and a level 4 transcendent outfit for her to wear."
"???"
"???"
Wei Chunchun's words made Liu Fengshan and his wife jolt.
"Level 4 transcendent clothes?"
Liu Fengshan stared at his son with his mouth open, seeking confirmation in disbelief.
"It's true."
Liu Qiang nodded silently. "They should still be at the market."
"Gasp!"
Liu Fengshan drew a sharp breath. After a long silence, he slowly turned to his wife. "Go to the market and buy some meat, and get the two children some gifts. We'll go see Chunying tomorrow at noon."
"All right."
Zhang Chunfen nodded, looking a little dazed. She smiled and said, "Chunying has known how to be filial since she was little. We're happy that she's doing well."
"Yes, yes."
A thought occurred to Wei Chunchun, and her eyes flickered. "Chunying is a good person, and she and Qiangzi are very close. If Qiangzi goes to the Lost Land to look for supplies in the future, he can borrow her level 4 transcendent outfit. Once he finds something, he can give some to Chunying too."
So what if it was women's clothing?
It was a powerful level 4 transcendent outfit woven by the Worldweaver herself.
Men could wear it too!!
"Mm."
Liu Fengshan nodded and instructed them, "Don't bring that up tomorrow. Your sister might have some grievances against us, so say some nice things to her. Chunying is easily persuaded."
Liu Qiang nodded silently. When he recalled that Cao Fengqi had been able to buy things at half price in Worldweaver's Clothing Store, his heart grew even hotter.
If only...
"Tsk, tsk. No wonder you like showing off so much, brat."
After the family bought two level 3 blades at the central trading market and went home, Cao Jiancheng looked at his son. Thinking of the expressions on his in-laws' son and daughter-in-law's faces, he felt immensely pleased.
He paused, then looked at his daughter-in-law and said slowly, "Chunying, your family disregarded your ties of kinship, but don't be too upset. Some things should be cut off when the time comes."
"Dad, I'm not stupid."
Liu Chunying knew her father-in-law was reminding her, and she answered without taking offense.
"Fengqi is the one holding our family up now."
She looked at Cao Fengqi and said earnestly, "From now on, I'll listen to Fengqi."
Huh?
He was sitting on the sofa eating an Earth Abundance Fruit, and he froze for a moment.
Why did that sound a little enticing?
"Uncle is the best to us."
Xiaobao smiled, wrapped her arms around Cao Fengqi's neck, and declared loudly.
"That's right, that's right," Dabao chimed in from the side.
"Of course."
Cao Fengqi answered naturally and looked at them. "Just remember to be filial to your uncle in the future."
"When we grow up, we'll take care of you in your old age, Uncle."
"Haha."
The two children's words made everyone laugh.
Liu Chunying smiled as she watched.
Even Dabao and Xiaobao knew who treated them well, so naturally she knew too.
As for her own family, after seeing that her brother had the money to buy clothes at Worldweaver Clothing Store but was unwilling to help her even a little, she had completely let it go.
She knew where her home was and who her family was.
They were the people who treated her well.
Her gaze fell on the level 4 transcendent outfit in the bag, and she made up her mind.
"Oh, right, son, how were you able to buy things at half price in Worldweaver's Clothing Store?" Cao Jiancheng remembered and pressed him for an answer.
"Yesterday, I did Deputy County Magistrate Xiao a small favor."
Cao Fengqi didn't say much, brushing off the question with a few casual words.
His father and the others didn't press him further.
"I'm going to the Lost Land. Don't wait for me for dinner; just save some for me."
After chatting with his parents and the others for a bit, Cao Fengqi went straight back to his room.
"Whether I can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle depends on this."
In his room, Cao Fengqi prepared his arrows and all his equipment, rubbed his hands, and lay down on the bed with a gleam in his eyes.
[Enter the Lost Land?] [Enter!]
A figure slowly appeared inside the underground shelter in Desolate Town.
Cao Fengqi picked up the pieces of level 3 metal he had prepared yesterday and immediately packed them into his bag.
The operation began!
Half an hour later, he reached a spot halfway between West Water Lake and the Mystic Devouring Beasts' territory.
It was also a spot parallel to [Klein the Apothecary's Shop] on the map.
Taking out a cut piece of level 3 metal, Cao Fengqi hurled it with all his strength toward a point five hundred meters into the Mystic Devouring Beasts' territory.
He nodded in satisfaction when he saw its position on his cheat's scan.
His sixth-stage shooting also improved his accuracy when throwing stones.
He took out a second piece of metal and threw it two hundred meters beyond where the first had landed.
Finally, Cao Fengqi used an arrow to carry a piece of metal, and with his sixth-stage shooting, he sent it more than two thousand meters away.
"I've thrown out so much level 3 metal. It should attract a lot of Mystic Devouring Beasts, right?"
He thought to himself. All he could do was pray as he hid behind a collapsed wall and waited quietly.
"It moved. That piece of level 3 metal moved."
Less than ten minutes later, Cao Fengqi saw the first piece of level 3 metal he had thrown, 522 meters away, begin to move.
Clearly, a Mystic Devouring Beast had swallowed it but hadn't digested it yet.
He didn't rush, continuing to wait quietly.
A few dozen seconds later, the second piece of metal, more than seven hundred meters away, also began to move.
"The first and second pieces of metal are two or three meters apart. That proves they've been swallowed by two different Mystic Devouring Beasts."
"I'm hidden here, and the powerful Mystic Devouring Beasts haven't discovered me, so... I can make my move."
With a thought, Cao Fengqi returned to reality and left all the equipment on him except the Evil Concealment Armor in his room.
It wasn't because he was prepared to die, but because he was worried that carrying too many level 4 supplies would let the powerful Mystic Devouring Beasts sense him.
Wearing only the Evil Concealment Armor was the safest and most concealed option.
This time, he was going to scout things out, not fight the Mystic Devouring Beasts.
"Charge!"
Back in Desolate Town, Cao Fengqi saw that the level 3 metal he had thrown more than nine hundred meters away had already been swallowed by a Mystic Devouring Beast. He looked toward the dark, unknown territory of the beasts and used the Wind-Breaking Movement Technique.
"Let your steps follow the wind's force, and hide their sound in its gaps."
Cao Fengqi used one of the Wind-Breaking Movement Technique's forms.
With wind as its bones and silence as its soul, it moved with the wind and ran without a sound.
He perfectly suppressed the sound of his body rushing forward.
Cao Fengqi was fast.
One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters...
He rapidly penetrated deeper into the Mystic Devouring Beasts' territory.
[Scan complete within a one-kilometer radius. Level 1 supplies: 5, level 4 supplies: 1, level 5 supplies: 4, level 6 supplies: 1. Transcendent Sequence Rune detected.]
When he had ventured five hundred meters into the Mystic Devouring Beasts' territory, a message appeared-
