Torrential Rain Day After Day, and the Shock of Neighbors Coming to Borrow Food
At this moment, Liu Chunying also inexplicably felt her body getting hot.
She rubbed her legs together and looked at Cao Fengqi tenderly, then placed her hands on his shoulders and began to massage them.
"The Fengqi, is this force enough?"
"If you feel comfortable, you can lie here and take a nap for a while. I'll give you a massage."
Liu Chunying glanced at her mother and children not far away, and tried to speak in a calm voice.
"Can."
Cao Fengqi responded with a single sentence.
As for taking a nap? He simply couldn't fall asleep.
"Sister-in-law, you did this on purpose!!"
"When I was eighteen, I was clueless and naive?"
"Damn, I've seen countless films."
Cao Fengqi's mind wandered, and he felt that the current scene was somewhat similar to the one in the film.
The subsequent massage went smoothly, and the train ultimately did not enter the island nation.
It must be said that proper relaxation can alleviate some irritability and bad mood.
After his sister-in-law finished massaging him, she tossed her hair and calmly continued with her work.
Cao Fengqi looked around, wondering what was going on in his head.
After a long while, he stretched and went over to help.
"You don't need to do it, just leave these to us."
Liu Xiuxiu looked at him and said, "Go and rest."
"It's alright. I'll wait until it's light outside to trade some level 4 and 5 metals, craft some weapons, and then enter the Lost Land."
Cao Fengqi said, "It's too dangerous in that town right now, we won't go there for the time being."
"Is it dangerous?"
Liu Xiuxiu nodded. "Then you must get plenty of rest and be well-prepared. There's no rush."
"Fengqi, are you capable of crafting level 4 weapons now?"
Liu Chunying looked at him and asked.
"Level 5 is also acceptable, as long as there are enough materials."
Cao Fengqi spoke up.
"Level 5 is also acceptable?"
Liu Chunying's face lit up with surprise.
If his brother-in-law can forge level 5 equipment, then the Cao Family will be completely worry-free about food and clothing from now on.
Cao Fengqi smiled and chatted briefly with his mother and sister-in-law as they dealt with the corpse of the Mystic Devouring Beast.
A day passed quickly.
"Splash!"
The next day, when Cao Fengqi opened the curtains and looked out the window, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.
"This rain is even heavier than yesterday's; when will it finally stop?"
"If this continues for a few more days, something bad will happen."
"Yes, it's pitch black outside, and people are too afraid to go out. Many families don't have enough food to last more than a few days."
Stepping out of the house, I saw my parents standing by the window, their brows furrowed as they spoke.
"Mom and Dad, the Fengqi, let's eat."
Liu Chunying placed the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Maybe the rain will stop tomorrow."
Although the current situation is depressing, she has recently experienced an unprecedented sense of security.
Life is so much better now than before.
"Um."
The family nodded and sat down at the table to eat.
After breakfast, Cao Fengqi felt a little bored. There was nowhere left to explore in the Lost Land Desolate Town, and leaving the Desolate Town to go elsewhere would obviously be a waste of time.
"Let's look around."
He had a sudden thought and immediately activated his cheat scanner.
[A range of 2 kilometers has been scanned: 2553 Level 1 supplies, 1211 Level 2 supplies, 548 Level 3 supplies, 33 Level 4 supplies, and supplies from 3 evil beasts detected.]
"There are three evil beasts?"
Cao Fengqi's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at his parents beside him. "Mom and Dad, you stay here and watch over things, I'm going out for a bit."
"Go out? The Fengqi, what are you going out for?"
Liu Xiuxiu was slightly startled and quickly asked.
"I sensed the aura of an evil beast. I'll go deal with it."
"Son, it's too dangerous."
"It's alright, it's not far. I'll be back soon, don't worry."
Cao Fengqi shook his head. "I need to get some souls."
"Alright, the Fengqi, be careful."
Cao Jiancheng knew that his son's strength as a superhuman was already extraordinary, and he slowly nodded.
Cao Fengqi picked up his weapon and opened the door. The rainwater was almost overflowing the threshold. He stepped out, and the water on the ground went right up to his shoes.
He glanced at it but didn't pay it any mind, his gaze shifting to his right.
"There are two evil beasts at that distance of 1300 meters. Let's deal with those two first."
He thought to himself, and with a swift movement, rushed over.
Cao Fengqi remained perfectly safe as he moved between the various shelters.
To put it bluntly, even if he encountered a powerful evil beast, given his speed, he might not be the one to suffer.
Evil spirits and beasts can certainly eat their fill.
For Cao Fengqi now, a distance of over a thousand meters is just a dozen seconds.
Upon reaching a distance of about 100 meters from the evil beasts, he saw two bizarre evil beasts, each a full two meters in size, bursting out of a hole in a sanctuary.
They were covered in blood, their black and red bodies were covered in slime, they had no limbs, and they resembled large leeches.
The difference is that its back is covered with blood-red fleshy lumps, and its entire head is full of sharp teeth, making it look somewhat creepy.
"It's Wart-Faced Leech."
Cao Fengqi saw this and his gaze turned icy.
The Wart-Faced Leech is a Bloodthirst, evil beast.
He immediately drew his bow and arrows, and two arrows were aimed at his target.
"Whoosh!"
Emberfire carrying embers shot out instantly.
"Splash!"
The next second, the two Wart-Faced Leech, more alert than Cao Fengqi anticipated, disappeared directly into the rainwater.
Its body, flowing like water, transformed into a slender seven or eight meters long, like a long snake, dodging the arrow attacks.
Their terrifying heads, filled with sharp teeth, rose from the water, staring at Cao Fengqi with a chilling and murderous intent.
"You've got something!"
Cao Fengqi was surprised to see that the Wart-Faced Leech could evade his arrows.
His gaze sharpened.
Script, start!
Two weak points came into Cao Fengqi's view. He nocked two arrows and approached them through the rain.
The two Wart-Faced Leech reverted to their previous forms, and using the water current as a springboard, they swiftly attacked him!
"Whoosh!"
When the two sides were fifty meters apart, Cao Fengqi fired another arrow.
"Sizzle!" "Sizzle!"
At such close range, the two arrows were faster than bullets. The two Wart-Faced Leech were unable to dodge his fatal attack and were pinned to the water, struggling violently before quickly losing their lives.
[Corpse of Wart-Faced Leech: Tier 4]
[Effect: Can collect 1 soul; contains a large amount of putrid blood and considerable toxins; can be used to craft poisons or applied to one's own weapons.]
Cao Fengqi walked over, looked at the corpse of the Wart-Faced Leech, and showed a satisfied expression.
"Good."
He quickly put it away, his gaze sweeping over the shelter destroyed by the Wart-Faced Leech; the smell of blood emanated from within.
He shook his head, walked over, used the Mystic Cold Saber to take some level 3 metal to forge arrows, and then left.
He is not a savior, nor does he have the ability to save the world.
If it weren't for the souls he needed to forge weapons, and if he didn't have this cheat, he wouldn't have come out in this dark, torrential rain.
After bringing his catch home, he went out again to deal with another Wart-Faced Leech before closing the door.
"Not bad, it's faster than acquiring resources in the Lost Land."
Cao Fengqi looked at the three souls he had obtained with satisfaction. "Now I can keep an eye on our surroundings."
He valued his life and, to prevent the Cao Family's shelter from being attacked after he left, Cao Fengqi planned to stay within a two-kilometer radius.
If the cheat program can scan for evil beasts, he'll hunt them down; if it can't, he'll just leave it be.
The main strategy is to wait patiently for the opportunity to strike – a sure thing!
After all, in reality he only has one life.
As the day passed, Cao Fengqi's mood improved slightly because he had hunted down six Wart-Faced Leech and obtained six souls.
A new day dawned, and the rain continued to fall.
The sky outside was like a dark world.
Cao Fengqi hunted and killed two Wart-Faced Leech this morning.
My mom, who had nothing better to do, actually made a mahjong set out of metal and played it with the whole family in the afternoon to pass the time.
"Bang bang."
Just then, a knocking sound came from the door, startling the Cao Family members slightly.
"It's not an evil beast, it's someone else. I'll go check it out."
Cao Fengqi looked around and saw that the script did not indicate an attack, and based on the information displayed by the external resource cheat, there should be three people outside.
He walked over, Cao Jiancheng and the others immediately followed, cautiously picking up their weapons.
"It's Xiaohua's family."
Cao Fengqi looked through the peephole and saw several familiar neighbors. He said something to his parents and opened the door.
"The Fengqi, Uncle Cao."
Outside the door, Chen Feng, Zhang Fenfen, and their child Chen Xiaohua stood awkwardly in the pouring rain, their faces pale and bloodless.
"Xiao Chen, what's wrong? Come inside."
Cao Jiancheng immediately invited, "Come, come."
"Brother Chen, come in." Cao Fengqi gestured as well.
The Cao Family had a very good impression of their neighbors, Xiaohua and her family.
The last time Chen Feng clashed with Wang Long, he went to help call for law enforcement officers.
However, Chen Feng later angrily told them that the law enforcement officers deliberately delayed their arrival, possibly because they were colluding with the wealthy family.
"No, no, that's fine."
Chen Feng waved his hand, then held out his palm somewhat embarrassedly, pleading, "Fengqi, Uncle Cao, could I borrow some food from your family? You can have this piece of level 4 metal; we'll definitely return it to you once we find food."
In his hand was a piece of metal the size of a fist.
Xiaohua looked up expectantly from the side, while Zhang Fenfen also looked nervous.
Judging from their condition Cao Fengqi knew they hadn't eaten for at least a day, and hadn't had a full meal in the previous few days either.
"Xiao Chen, why are you being so polite with your Uncle Cao? If you didn't have anything to eat, you should have come to us earlier."
Cao Jiancheng immediately scolded him, patted Xiaohua's head, and sighed, "Look how hungry the child is, he's gotten so thin."
"I'll go get some food."
Cao Fengqi said something, then went into the living room and took a few pieces of cleaned Mystic Devouring Beast.
"Thank you, Uncle Cao. Thank you, Fengqi."
Upon seeing this, Chen Feng quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "I will definitely return the meat to you once I find it."
"A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, Brother Chen, don't be so polite, take it."
Cao Fengqi brought over about 50 pounds of meat and handed it to him.
He was a man who was extremely clear about his gratitude and grudges. No matter how much meat the Cao Family Liu Family to offer, he would not give it to the Liu Family, his in-laws, even if they came to ask for it.
The Chen Family, Xiaohua's father, while not offering help in a time of need, did provide some warmth.
They are trustworthy neighbors.
With so much meat at home that it couldn't be stored, Cao Fengqi also discovered a granary containing a hundred tons of grain in the Desolate Town, and naturally, he wouldn't be stingy with it.
"The Fengqi, there's too much meat... and this... and this..."
Chen Feng was slightly surprised to see so much meat that Cao Fengqi handed him, and his eyes widened even more when he saw the quality of the meat.
Grade 4 quality meat???
Is this for them?
