An Agitated Cao Fengqi and His Openhearted Sister-in-Law
Damn it!
Cao Fengqi had anticipated danger on the north side of the Desolate Town, but he hadn't expected it to be a terrifying evil beast of the Nightmare level.
I didn't expect to encounter them so quickly.
Based on his previous exploration experience, powerful evil spirits and beasts could only be found near the core of the Desolate Town.
The north side is not only close to the center, but even the edges are occupied by the Nightmare.
"Quack."
Seeing Cao Fengqi flee, the two Nightmare flapped their wings and flew over instantly.
A round, black, dazzling eye of Nightmare locked onto him, then suddenly flashed with a deep crimson light.
"Click click click!"
Suddenly, from beneath Cao Fengqi's feet, terrifying skeletal claws emerged and reached for his right leg.
"What a bizarre attack method."
Cao Fengqi noticed this and his pupils contracted slightly.
Thanks to the script's advance warning, he leaped away from the attack of the withered bone claws.
"Quack!"
Seeing that its companion's attack had failed, the other Nightmare flapped its wings violently and came to the air above Cao Fengqi.
Two dark claws continued their attack on Cao Fengqi, one after the other.
Cao Fengqi sensed the attack from above and hastily executed a Wind- Wind-Breaking Movement Technique: Returning Wind Sweeps the Leaves.
He threw his hands on the ground, narrowly avoiding the attack of two dark claws.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. Without the script's prompts, he wouldn't have been able to dodge this terrifying attack at all!
"Gaga!" "Gaga gaga!"
Nightmare, seeing him evade again, began to lose patience.
Its dazzling black body emitted a ghostly light, its wings folded together, and it extended its sharp claws, poised to grab him directly.
"Damn it, do you really think I'm easy to bully!"
Seeing the relentless Nightmare, Cao Fengqi flipped his hand and took out the Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case from his body, glaring fiercely at it. "Die, you bastard!"
Emberfire opened the Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case and threw it precisely at Nightmare, who was charging towards him.
"Ding-a-ling!"
The sound of metal coupling igniting rang out, and the Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case had been launched, exploded directly in front of Nightmare.
Ninety-nine spikes gleamed with an intense, cold light, carrying a chilling power as they hurtled towards the night.
"Gagaga!"
"Puff puff puff!"
The Nightmare that attacked had no time to dodge; it could only use its wings to protect its entire body.
But the dense array of spikes unleashed a terrifying penetrating and destructive force, piercing into its wings.
"Gah gah gah!" "Gah!"
The spikes pierced its wings, and it cried out in pain.
He lost his balance and fell to the side.
"Gah!"
Seeing Nightmare from behind, Nightmare flapped its wings rapidly, and more than a dozen feathers transformed into streaks of light, shooting towards Cao Fengqi.
Cao Fengqi quickly dodged, his gaze drifting towards the Nightmare that had fallen to the ground.
"They're still alive?"
His eyes widened, he gritted his teeth, and turned to run away.
"Gah!"
The uninjured Nightmare stared at his figure and let out a fierce howl, then hesitated before giving chase.
It landed on its companion and used its beak to pull the spikes off its wings!
"Phew, thank goodness they didn't chase after us. Damn, the danger on the north side is far greater than other places. Luckily, I got that Blessed Moon God Stone yesterday, otherwise I would have really been doomed here."
"Compared to the Mystic Devouring Beast, this Nightmare is far more powerful, even stronger than the Water Ghost Monkey. Not only can it fly, but its mental attack methods are also bizarre."
Cao Fengqi fled quickly forward, and his expression changed drastically when he sensed that Nightmare was not pursuing him.
"The attack that the Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case just unleashed was powerful enough, yet it still hasn't killed it."
"I've only encountered two Nightmare. Could there be more? Could there be a Nightmare leader?"
He ran for 2 kilometers before daring to stop, looking at the north side of the Desolate Town with lingering fear.
"We've lost an Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case." Cao Fengqi sighed again.
"But this trip wasn't entirely in vain; we found a granary and learned about the dangers on the north side."
Cao Fengqi quietly gazed at the entire Cangxuan Town ahead, unsure of what to do next.
Based on the information from the external scan, the area in front and even to the northwest is basically Nightmare territory.
"Except for the east, where there are no evil beast tribes, there are Mystic Devouring Beast to the south, Nightmare to the north, and Water Ghost Monkey to the west."
"The Mystic Devouring Beast are the easiest to deal with right now, but I'm still not 100% confident I can hunt down the leader of the Mystic Devouring Beast."
Cao Fengqi stood there, lost in thought.
"I still need to get some level 5 metal to upgrade my entire set of equipment."
"If I could forge a level 5 bow, create that level 5 Great Umbrella, and add level 5 arrows and a level 5 beast-catching net, I'm confident I could even kill the Nightmare."
His eyes flickered slightly, and with a thought, he immediately withdrew from the Lost Land.
Back in the shelter, Cao Fengqi immediately opened the curtains and looked out the window.
It's still pitch black. When will this rain stop? When will it get light?
Trading is prohibited before dawn, and without trading, one cannot improve oneself and continue exploring.
Looking at the pitch-black outside world, Cao Fengqi walked out of the room with slight irritation.
I glanced around the living room and saw my mother, Liu Xiuxiu, and my sister-in-law Liu Chunying, dealing with the corpse of the Mystic Devouring Beast.
He walked straight towards the sofa.
"Uncle, did you find something good again?"
Dabao, who was sitting on the sofa, saw him coming and asked expectantly with his bright eyes.
"Good things don't come easily; your uncle almost died."
Cao Fengqi waved his hand, slumped on the sofa in a bad mood, and said listlessly, "Come on, give your uncle a shoulder and leg massage."
"Oh, Uncle, you can't die!"
"Uncle, you won't die, you'll never die."
Dabao and Xiaobao immediately came over and said to him.
"Hehe!"
Cao Fengqi smiled faintly when he heard the two little ones' words of comfort.
Even in the apocalypse, you still need family around; otherwise, even if you have enough to eat, you'll still go insane.
"Fengqi, let me give you a massage to relieve your fatigue. The two little ones don't have much strength."
Suddenly, Liu Chunying, who was sitting to the side, looked over and spoke.
"Um?"
Cao Fengqi was slightly taken aback when he heard her words again.
"You're exploring for supplies in that dark and dangerous Lost Land, which can be quite depressing."
Liu Chunying continued, "I can't help you much, I can only do what I can to relieve your fatigue."
Hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Liu Xiuxiu paused for a moment and nodded silently.
Although their son always managed to gain a lot, they could imagine the hardship and danger involved.
"Isn't that a bad idea?" Cao Fengqi looked at his serious sister-in-law and opened his mouth.
"What's wrong with that? I'll go wash my hands first."
Liu Chunying shook her head, took off her apron, washed her hands, and came over.
"You two go help Grandma prepare the meat."
Liu Chunying gestured to the two children.
"Okay, Mom."
"Grandma, we're here to help you."
Dabao and Xiaobao nodded.
"Fengqi, lie down on the sofa first," Liu Chunying gestured to him.
"OK!"
