After the huge cloud of smoke stirred up by the Night Demon's death completely dissipated, Ye Miao and Chu Cheng's team had already left. The onlookers' hopes of catching a glimpse of the boss were dashed, and they left one after another with regret.
Ye Miao made a special trip to avoid crowded places and took a long detour back to Hu Haomiaolin's RV. The couple slept well and were unaware of the earth-shaking events outside.
Ye Miao lay back on the bed, opened the panel, and carefully checked the new skills.
The specific effects of most skills in "Fantasy World" depend on the player's own attributes, so specific values cannot be given on the cards. They will only be displayed after learning and combined with personal situation.
Now, the descriptions of the two skills are:
Nightmare Invasion
【Quality: Purple】
[Description: A card with a negative effect. The terror brought by the nightmare will envelop your enemies. Once triggered, it will cause continuous damage to enemies within a three-meter radius, reducing their health by 300 per second. The negative effect disappears 5 seconds after the enemy leaves the attack range.]
[Critical Hit]
【Quality: Blue】
[Description: When launching an attack, there is a 30% chance of causing 300% critical damage to the enemy.]
"Not bad." Ye Miao said to himself.
Nightmare's attack damage of -300 health points per second might not seem like much, but the continuous loss of health adds up. Furthermore, the "negative effect disappears after 5 seconds of leaving the attack range" means that even if the opponent appears and leaves immediately, and only enters the range for a second, they will still suffer a minimum of 1500 health points of damage.
The apocalypse had just begun, and players' health wasn't very high. This skill attribute was enough to make players with bad intentions avoid her for self-protection. And if she took the initiative to fight monsters, the monsters' continuous health loss would save her a lot of energy.
She was even more pleased with the value of "Critical Hit" after learning it. The card's original description stated "30% chance of dealing 150%-300% critical damage to the enemy," but because her combat skills were already at the maximum level, the system's damage value was directly increased to 300%, significantly increasing her attack power.
Satisfied, Ye Miao closed the panel and fell asleep peacefully. The next morning, she woke up to the sound and aroma of Miao Lin's frying bacon. She opened her eyes and sat up. Hu Hao, who had been out gathering resources, had just returned. "Honey, I'm telling you, something big has happened!"
Hu Hao was so excited that Miao Lin couldn't help but turn around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The Night Demon was killed!" Hu Hao said.
"Ah?!" Miao Lin was shocked. "Who killed him?!"
"I don't know. It's said that a melee fighter attacked first, and then a group of archers came to cooperate with the fighters from a distance. But it was too dark, and most people didn't dare to get close, so no one saw their faces."
Although Hu Hao said this, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at Ye Miao. Miao Lin also looked at Ye Miao. Ye Miao rubbed his eyes and was stunned: "Why are you looking at me? If it weren't for me, I wouldn't know when the Night Demon would appear... Did it appear last night? Did you hear it?"
With her loli face and twin tails, her innocent look looks very sincere.
"No." The couple looked at each other and dispelled their doubts.
Ye Miao got out of bed as if nothing had happened, opened his backpack, and took out a round glass bottle. The bottle was only the size of a palm and contained a light red liquid.
Ye Miao handed it to Miao Lin: "This is for you."
"What?" Miao Lin took it in confusion, and the item introduction popped up.
[Item: Recovery Potion]
【Quality: Blue】
[Description: Cure the negative effects on oneself]
Miao Lin showed surprise, thought for a moment, and hesitated again: "...Give it to me? Is this appropriate?"
"It's okay." Ye Miao, "I can't stay at your house for free, but I don't have much gold coins on me. I was thinking about what to use to pay the rent last night, but this thing didn't come to mind."
This was half true and half false. The fact that I didn't want to stay here for nothing was true, but the fact that I didn't remember the recovery potion was false.
This was actually the drop she got from defeating the Night Demon last night.
"How can this be so embarrassing...you even saved my husband's life!" Miao Lin still felt it was inappropriate. Ye Miao waved her hand and said, "I'll repay you for saving my life. I've found out everything I wanted to know. The accommodation fee will be charged."
After that, he picked up his backpack and walked out: "I'm leaving, see you again if we're lucky!"
"Hey..." Miao Lin was stunned. She had already pushed the door open and walked out. The heavy door of the RV was then slammed shut. Miao Lin was speechless. "Have breakfast before leaving..."
But of course there was no response.
"A boss is a boss, a man of integrity, a man of integrity." Hu Hao sighed, then turned back and breathed a sigh of relief at the recovery potion in Miao Lin's hand. He urged, "Drink it quickly!"
"Hmm!" Miao Lin opened the bottle and drank it all in one gulp. The negative health loss effect that had lasted for seven days instantly disappeared. Miao Lin looked at the stable health bar and smiled, "Finally, I don't have to worry anymore..."
After leaving the RV, Ye Miao traveled through the streets of the city, trying to kill monsters and get loot.
If she remembered correctly, the first period after the apocalypse was called the "chaos period". During this stage, everyone was trying to figure out the rules of survival, and it was also the easiest to get a permit to build a shelter. Everyone could take advantage of this period to establish their own territory.
But when the chaos period ends, the probability of licenses appearing will be greatly reduced. In other words, the system will no longer encourage players to build new territories. Instead, it will be a battle for supremacy, and various camps will start fighting each other for resources.
So her top priority now is to save enough gold coins, then find an NPC traveling merchant to buy a license and a barrier stone.
Unconsciously, Ye Miao gradually left the city and walked to the suburbs. The scene before him gradually became deserted. The ruins of high-rise buildings became increasingly scarce, replaced by mountains, forests, lakes and wheat fields.
Considering that such maps are more likely to have high-level monsters, Ye Miao took off his windbreaker and put on the Night Demon Heavy Armor that dropped last night.
[Item: Night Demon Heavy Armor]
【Quality: Purple】
[Description: Clothing. After wearing, Defense +1000, Agility -5%. When HP drops below 30%, it recovers 5% of the maximum HP per minute, up to a maximum of 80%.]
Durability: 300/300
"Hurry up! Do it! Damn! How can this thing be so fast!"
In the rice field, a team of five people suddenly encountered poisonous frogs and were very upset.
Poison frogs have low health but high defense, and their venom attacks can easily cause sustained damage. Even more deadly, they tend to swarm in groups, using their high agility to frantically jump at their targets, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
In the five-man team, the main tank Zhang Feng rushed forward and drew aggro diligently from the beginning. Unexpectedly, he couldn't get rid of the aggro once it was drawn. His health dropped rapidly. The healer Xu Ying was right next to him, and she used healing skills continuously, but she still couldn't keep up with the speed of blood loss.
The swordsman and the assassin were not far away, but they did not dare to drop their weapons easily, fearing that the poisonous frog would dodge quickly and hurt Zhang Feng by mistake.
Fortunately, there is a mage Yu Lili in the team.
Yu Lili possesses a skill called [Ice Freeze], a crowd control skill. While the damage dealt is negligible, it effectively freezes enemies within range. Furthermore, this crowd control skill has a built-in faction division, freezing only enemies and not allies. However, the casting interval is a bit long.
The skill's freezing effect lasts for 30 seconds, but it can only be cast once every 120 seconds, during which time Zhang Feng has to endure it.
After finally enduring the third release of the Ice Within Reach, the poison frog was finally killed by the team.
Zhang Feng's health was only a pitiful 12%. He immediately fell to the ground, not even bothering to pick up the things he had dropped. He wiped the cold sweat from his face and said, "That was a close call."
Therapist Xu Ying was so tired that she vomited blood. Although she wanted to help Zhang Feng with his treatment, her magic power was almost zero, so she had to sit down and rest, waiting for her magic power to recover.
"Swish, swish, swish." Something passed through the rice field and gradually approached.
The assassin was highly agile and had the fastest reaction. He suddenly stepped back, holding his iron claws in a defensive posture: "What's that sound!"
——Before he finished speaking, a black wolf spider as tall as a person came into view. Its furry body would be cute on other creatures, but it was inexplicably scary when it looked like this.
The five people, who were already at the end of their strength, looked up stiffly, their gazes moving upwards little by little, finally landing on the name above its head.
The dark red name is a boss...
Zhang Feng swallowed hard, grabbed Xu Ying, and stumbled to his feet: "Run!!!"
As if waking from a dream, the teammates immediately turned around and ran away. However, the next second, the wolf spider raised its front legs high, sprayed out spider silk, and instantly entangled Xu Ying, and quickly pulled her back to the spot.
"Freeze at your fingertips!" The mage turned around and unleashed his skills with all his might.
The assassin and swordsman immediately ran back to rescue, using all their strength to hack and kill the wolf spider.

The hint that popped up above the wolf spider's head was despairing.
“What should I do!!!” Zhang Feng was on the verge of collapse. Xu Ying was wrapped in spider silk and screamed in despair: “Save me!!!!”
On the small hill west of the rice field, Ye Miao was just being too lazy to take out the poison frogs because they dropped too few of them, but when he saw the wolf spider boss, his eyes lit up.
"I heard that wolf spiders raise frogs to guard the entrance of their burrows. The frogs help the wolf spiders deal with insects that come to steal the wolf spiders' eggs, and the wolf spiders protect the frogs from predators... Having them appear together is really funny and reasonable."
Ye Miao clicked his tongue, jumped down the hillside, and rushed towards the wolf spider.
The battle became more and more intense. Seeing Xu Ying trapped, Zhang Feng didn't care about his own precarious health and rushed forward to attract hatred.
The wolf spider's attack target changed in a second, and its huge front claws stomped down hard on Zhang Feng.
With low health, his agility decreased and Zhang Feng was unable to dodge. He pursed his lips and waited for death.
"Bang——" a muffled sound hit my ears.
Zhang Feng opened his eyes and saw that there was another person in front of him. His twin ponytails swayed cutely during the fight, and the purple heavy armor on his body blocked the wolf spider's fatal attack!
-500
Ye Miao didn't care about the loss of blood. He flipped in the air and kicked the wolf spider, forcing it back several steps in an instant.
"Whatever drops belong to me. You have to pay an additional 1,000 gold coins and I'll clean it up." She landed steadily and started to make an offer.
Everything happened so quickly. In the gentle breeze, the five-member team was stunned for a moment. Yu Lili was the first to recover: "We only have... only 800 gold in total!"
"..." Ye Miao frowned and turned his head, looking at Yu Lili, speechless.
You're kidding me.
It has been eight days since the end of the world began, and they are a team of five. How can they not come up with 1,000 gold coins in total?
Ye Miao quickly put away his sympathy and turned away.
At the same time, the wolf spider that was kicked away relieved its dizziness and quickly rushed back to the battlefield.
"One thousand!!!" Seeing the wolf spider rushing closer, Zhang Feng screamed and slid to his knees.
Before he could finish his words, Ye Miao, who had just taken two steps away, flashed over and delivered a hook punch, knocking the wolf spider backwards. Then he unsheathed his dagger, raised his hand, and brought it down—with a swish, it pierced the wolf spider's body.
【-3200】
The wolf spider was killed in one blow.
The author has something to say:
It’s been five days since I started writing this, and I’m a little surprised to see all these familiar IDs in the comment section.
I thought the wall between Guyan and Weixuanyou channels was quite thick.
I didn't expect everyone to have such a wide range of tastes...
Thank you for your support.

Does anyone see a wolf spider and think of some passive-mori-dominated fear?
