Since he couldn't kill the opponent no matter what he did, Li Yu decisively gave up on this pointless attack.

Only after the giant slug had completely disappeared into the distant rain did Li Yu return to the location of the house as quickly as possible.

Li Yu glanced at the exterior of the portable house.

To be honest, as long as he doesn't look at it carefully, this portable house does have a certain degree of concealment.

Remembering that he hadn't received any response to calling Xiao Hei since earlier, Li Yu couldn't help but worry and hurriedly went to the awning next to the house to check.

It wasn't until Li Yu got closer and heard the snoring that he realized Xiao Hei was perfectly fine.

Little Black seemed unaffected by the slug and was fast asleep in the awning.

"Wow, that's amazing, you can even fall asleep like that."

"Smack!"

Li Yu slapped the horse's rump hard, instantly waking the sleeping Xiao Hei from its slumber. Xiao Hei looked around in panic.

"Hiss..."

Xiao Hei turned its head and saw Li Yu's back as she walked into the house, at which point it let out a dissatisfied bark.

The horse's face was long and drawn out, then it turned back to continue sleeping.

It wasn't that Xiao Hei wasn't reacting; rather, Xiao Hei was completely drained of its strength, listless and unable to run.

Li Yu quickly entered the house and gently helped Fu Xiyao, who was almost fainting.

"Are you alright? The beast has already run away."

Fu Xiyao barely opened her eyes and felt Li Yu's arm supporting her. She gently shook her head: "I'm fine, just a little dizzy, but I feel much better now."

Despite her efforts to appear calm, her weak voice still sounded powerless.

"Quick, use this."

Li Yu quickly took out a beast crystal core and placed it in Fu Xiyao's hand.

Fu Xiyao knew that her body was very weak, but she did not hesitate.

She gently scratched her palm with her other hand, then gripped the crystal core tightly.

The energy in the crystal core began to slowly flow into her body, gradually replenishing the energy she lacked.

As this energy was injected, Fu Xiyao's complexion gradually regained its color, and her eyes became brighter.

"I feel much better."

With the replenishment of external energy, Fu Xiyao's mental state improved significantly.

However, the side effects of overdrawing energy on the body will take some time to completely dissipate.

Seeing Fu Xiyao gradually recover, Li Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unbeknownst to her, Li Yu had already placed Fu Xiyao in a very important position.

"It can actually absorb energy out of thin air, and there are such powerful beasts." Fu Xiyao exclaimed in amazement as she recovered some of her energy.

"Is it impressive?" Li Yu repeated Fu Xiyao's words, a look of confusion on her face.

Aside from its large size, he couldn't see what made this beast so powerful...

Fu Xiyao nodded vigorously, her expression serious:

"It must be amazing, and this ability is too bizarre."

Li Yu thought about the slug's terrifying regenerative ability and the slime that splattered everywhere:

"It's really weird."

After a night of replenishing her energy, Fu Xiyao's body was no longer in serious condition.

Fu Xiyao was also very excited; it was the first time she had absorbed so much energy.

It seems she's finally a bit better than Xiao Hei.

"Ping".

Outside the house, Little Black also spat out a crystal core that had lost its energy, kicked its legs, and recovered.

The crystal cores collided twice and fell in front of Fu Xiyao.

Fu Xiyao: "......"

Looking at the crystal core that Xiao Hei spat out, she was speechless. Was she really not even as good as a horse?

Fu Xiyao continued to absorb the energy from the crystal core until the sky began to lighten, at which point her body felt a sense of saturation.

The energy in the crystal core in her hand was also almost gone.

[Armor-Piercing Arrow LV11: Penetration +110, Stability +110, Flight Speed ​​+110, Sonic Speed.]

After a night of energy conversion, Li Yu successfully upgraded the Armor-Piercing Arrow to another level.

Li Yu's expression remained calm, showing no excitement; instead, she sighed.

"We still need to upgrade. Right now, we can't even kill a slug."

Little did they know that there were very few people in the entire Xirong Mountain who could drive away the giant beast 'Night Slug'.

"Li Yu, I'm much better now. Shall we set off now?" Fu Xiyao stood up again, and her body seemed to have recovered considerably.

“No, it’s not the right time.” Li Yu shook her head.

He just went out for a walk.

Looking west along the railway tracks, all that could be seen was still a dim and hazy expanse, making it difficult to make out anything.

Moreover, Li Yu also discovered some strange animal footprints nearby, all of which looked enormous.

You know, it's not easy to leave footprints on the ground under the constant erosion of rain.

Thinking of the slug from yesterday, Li Yu couldn't help but feel suspicious.

He felt that the strange beasts in this area were perhaps a bit too large.

Although the slug does move very slowly, as Fu Xiyao said, its large size is a major factor.

What if another beast of the same size and even faster than Xiao Hei appears? Will the two of them be able to escape?

Or is it that all the strange beasts in this area are this huge?

Li Yu became increasingly uneasy. Even with Xiao Hei's speed, they couldn't rush forward so recklessly.

He seemed to instantly understand Ma Yuanbai's actions of hiding among the refugees.

After thinking it over, Li Yu decided to wait here for the time being.
