A Hundred Tons of Grain and Terrifying Nightmares
"Whoosh!"
Looking at the abundant resources ahead, Cao Fengqi took a heavy breath, suppressing the burning desire in his heart.
He's no longer a complete novice.
After a period of thrilling and dangerous resource hunting in this Desolate Town, he calmed down after the initial excitement of seeing so many treasures.
"Something unusual must be going on."
He muttered to himself, based on his previous experience, those level 5 and 6 resources were either exorcism items or extremely dangerous places.
"But--"
After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to go and explore it.
The Gloom Ruins Night Watchman's base is located on the north side; could those treasures be exorcising items?
Even if that's not the case, we should still investigate the situation to prepare for the future.
Cao Fengqi walked inside step by step with a solemn expression.
He was very cautious, taking each step with utmost care.
This cheat scan also revealed a hidden danger: it failed to detect any evil spirits or beasts.
There are only two possibilities: either there are no evil beasts or spirits ahead, or the evil beasts or spirits are extremely powerful.
"One Moon Spirit Stone! Good news!"
After advancing more than two hundred meters, Cao Fengqi at a location with level 2 supplies. His eyes lit up when he saw the items.
However, his hopes were quickly dashed after he found a level 2 sword and a level 3 piece of broken equipment within the next few hundred meters.
[Scanned within a 2km radius: 9 Level 1 supplies, 7 Level 2 supplies, 3 Level 3 supplies, 2 Level 4 supplies, and 1 Level 5 supply.]
The external scanner kept updating, and Cao Fengqi saw that another level 5 resource had been added, but there was not much joy on his face.
"There seem to be too many supplies here; it's a bit strange."
Cao Fengqi muttered to himself, then shook his head, finding it amusing.
Having too many supplies isn't enough?
Now that I have ten lives, even if there's danger, I can still take the risk.
"That ridiculously large Level 1 supply is arriving."
Cao Fengqi adjusted his mindset and continued walking forward. He went deep for 800 meters without encountering any danger, and his eyes were fixed on the huge amount of level 1 supplies.
"Is it located two meters underground? What is this thing?"
He walked over, his gaze completely absorbed by the massive amount of Level 1 resource information.
He doesn't even look at level 1 supplies now, but something this big is too much to ignore.
Cao Fengqi digging without hesitation; his improved physique allowed him to dig much faster.
Soon, a gray metal plate came into view.
[Dry Iron: Grade 1 Quality]
[Effect: A type of metal that can repel moisture; not very valuable.]
"Huh? Is there a large piece of this strange metal buried underground? Why bury it?"
Cao Fengqi somewhat puzzled, and a thought flashed through his mind.
He took out the Mystic Cold Saber and plunged it into the Dry Iron.
"It was empty after all."
His eyes flashed, and he used the Mystic Cold Saber to cut a slit, peering into the pitch-black interior. He then opened Moon Spirit Stone and threw it inside.
"Smack!"
The Moon Spirit Stone fell directly to a position about one meter inside, illuminating the surrounding area.
"This is?"
When Cao Fengqi saw the items inside, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
[Refined Rice: No Grade]
[Effect: Ordinary grains, provide a good feeling of fullness.]
"Refined rice? Grain? This place is entirely made of grain! Judging by the scale, it must be at least a hundred tons!"
Cao Fengqi's eyes lit up. Although the Cao Family was not short of food, he was still very surprised to see such a large amount of grain.
After all, having surplus food at home means you won't panic.
"With so much grain here, this place is very likely to be---"
Cao Fengqi recalled the information on the map, "Harvest Rice Shop."
"That should be right; only a rice shop would store so much refined rice."
He was certain in his mind. "According to the map scale, Harvest Rice Shop is more than three kilometers away from the Gloom Ruins Night Watchman."
"Hehe, not bad, not bad!"
He glanced at the large amount of polished rice below, smiled, and used the Emberfire of his hand to weld the opening shut, preventing the rice inside from becoming damp and moldy.
He doesn't need the food here for the time being.
"Continue!"
Having jumped out of the pit, Cao Fengqi, in a good mood, looked to a spot about a hundred meters to his right.
There, there is a level 4 item.
"At least it's a good start. If everything goes smoothly from here on out, we'll make a fortune."
He muttered something to himself and walked forward.
After walking only a dozen meters, the shadows of trees came into view.
"A tree?" Cao Fengqi looked over.
"Gah?"
Before he could examine it closely, a sudden shout rang out.
"Buzz!"
The sudden sound startled Cao Fengqi, and the script's warning message immediately followed.
At the same time, an inexplicable attack directly covered his body.
"Buzz!"
A fluorescent white light flashed from the Blessed Moon God Stone on his body, and the invisible attack was blocked.
Cao Fengqi was startled when he saw it!
"Quack!"
"Splash!" "Crunch!"
The unknown evil beast seemed to be completely alarmed, and it let out a sharp cry.
Accompanied by the sound of branches colliding, a series of responses from other evil beasts rang out.
"What exactly is it?"
At that moment, Cao Fengqi's heart pounded violently.
From the moment he was attacked without warning to the series of sharp cries, it all happened in just two seconds.
Faced with the unknown and terrifying existence, he did not hesitate at all and turned to run.
"Cack cack!" "Buzz!"
"Crack!" "Splash!"
He heard noises coming from behind, and through the danger warning system in the script, Cao Fengqi also discovered that this unknown evil beast was a flying type.
"Oops!!"
Flying evil beasts are always troublesome. He gritted his teeth, and without any hesitation, drew his bow, turned around, and Instant Shot arrow at an evil beast.
Relying on the script markers, Cao Fengqi's sixth-level archery skills required no aiming at all. The arrows, carrying Emberfire, streaked across the night sky and shot towards the evil beasts behind him.
The light of the Emberfire also revealed the appearance of the evil beast.
"Rotten Crow? No, that's not right!"
Cao Fengqi's gaze sharpened; the unknown evil beast resembled Rotten Crow.
It wasn't very big; its black wingspan was only half a meter.
Compared to the putrid Rotten Crow, this raven appears to be crafted from black diamonds, exquisite yet deadly.
The crow saw the arrows hurtling towards it and flapped its wings.
A blurry, black raven phantom appeared before him, meeting the arrow head-on.
"Bang!"
The sound of a collision rang out, and Cao Fengqi's pupils contracted as he saw the arrow being blocked!
"This is Nightmare! It's actually Nightmare!!!"
Cao Fengqi recognized the evil beast.
Nightmare not only devour flesh and blood, but also souls.
Like nightmares in the night, they possess a variety of extraordinary attack methods.
If their mental attacks hadn't been blocked by the Moon God Stone, Cao Fengqi would have been defeated on the spot, unable to even put up a fight.
"Quack!"
"Buzz!"
The second Nightmare flew in, and its inescapable mental attack enveloped him once again.
The Blessed Moon God Stone exerted its power to help him withstand the attack!
But the next moment, a pitch-black claw of darkness flew over.
"Damn, that was a fast attack!"
Cao Fengqi felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the relentless attacks.
Even with the script's hints, he couldn't completely evade the swift dark claws.
The defenses on the Blue-Patterned Robe activated instantly.
"Bang!"
A violent collision sounded, accompanied by the instantaneous dissipation of the blue protective shield surrounding them.
Cao Fengqi was horrified when he saw this.
"Grass!"
He let out a low growl, turned, and fled for his life.
He was completely overwhelmed by just two Nightmare that flew in and after only a few seconds of direct confrontation.
This is something he simply cannot handle!
