As night fell, an air of unease surged through the shadows of the dungeon. A dozen or so idlers gathered in a corner, their eyes gleaming with greed and cunning. Recently, Xiao Yi's supplies had become a hot topic among them, their precious resources captivating them like a magnet.
"I heard that Xiao Yi got another batch of good stuff." A burly man whispered, his eyes full of desire.
"Yeah, I heard there are those rare energy stones." A thin man next to him added, his fingers unconsciously stroking the dagger at his waist.
"We can't wait any longer, we have to act quickly." The burly man clapped his hands, and everyone's eyes instantly became sharp.
As the night deepened, they quietly left the underground city and headed towards Xiao Yi's residence. The streets were deserted, with only a gentle breeze blowing, bringing a hint of coolness. They carefully avoided the patrolling guards, taking every step with extreme caution.
Finally, they arrived at Xiao Yi's residence. It was an unremarkable building, but the supplies inside were enough to make them excited. They quickly dispersed, preparing to attack from all sides.
At this moment, a slight noise was heard. They immediately looked in the direction of the sound with vigilance, only to see a figure walking out from the darkness. It was Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi's eyes revealed calmness and determination. He had already noticed the intentions of these people. He quickly drew the long sword at his waist and rushed towards the burly man who was rushing in front.
Swords flashed, and the two men clashed instantly. The burly man's strength was astonishing, but Xiao Yi's movements were more agile. They engaged in a fierce contest in the night, and the sound of swords clashing echoed in the night sky.
Others also joined the battle, some holding knives or sticks, and launched a fierce attack on Xiao Yi. But Xiao Yi was like a cunning cheetah, nimbly dodging their attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
The battle lasted for a long time. Although Xiao Yi was surrounded, he relied on his extraordinary martial arts and tenacious will to escape danger again and again. Those who were idle gradually showed signs of fatigue, and their attacks became increasingly weak.
Finally, at a critical moment, Xiao Yi found an opportunity. He swung his sword fiercely, directly hitting the burly man's shoulder. The burly man screamed, and the weapon in his hand flew out of his hand.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yi launched a series of attacks, defeating the remaining enemies one by one. When they fell to the ground, Xiao Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the mess on the ground, and a wave of emotion welled up in his heart. These idlers, driven by greed and selfishness, were willing to risk their lives to steal his supplies. But he also understood that only through his own hard work and struggle could he protect what belonged to him.
As the night deepened, Xiao Yi cleaned up the battlefield and returned to his residence. He knew that this battle was just a small episode in his life, and the road ahead was still long. He needed to be more vigilant and work harder to survive in this world full of challenges and opportunities.
In the dimly lit underground city, people have been dedicated to researching how to combat the increasingly rampant mutant animals. Their numbers continue to increase, and their power grows stronger, posing an unprecedented threat to the underground city's residents. However, despite scientists' tireless research, they have yet to find an effective solution.
Xiao Yi, a simple manager of the underground city, usually tends to a vegetable patch. Though small, it's a rare green comfort for the underground city's residents. Xiao Yi meticulously cares for each plant, hoping they thrive in this barren land.
That evening, Xiao Yi went to the vegetable garden to water the plants as usual. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a strange plant. It was a mushroom, but unlike other mushrooms, it emitted a faint light from under its umbrella, like a small star in the night sky.
Xiao Yi approached the mushroom in surprise and observed it carefully. He found that the mushroom not only glowed, but also emitted a strange fragrance. This fragrance seemed different from the smell emitted by the mutant animals in the dungeon. It was more fresh and natural.
Xiao Yi's mind moved, and he thought of a possible way to deal with the mutant animals. So, he carefully picked the glowing mushroom and brought it back to his residence.
Over the next few days, Xiao Yi began to study the properties and effects of this luminous mushroom. He discovered that this mushroom not only possessed powerful biological activity, but also released a substance that had an inhibitory effect on mutant animals. This gave Xiao Yi hope, and he believed that this mushroom might be the key to combating mutant animals.
So, Xiao Yi began to experiment with growing these glowing mushrooms on a large scale in his vegetable garden. He carefully prepared the soil, controlled the temperature and humidity, and finally managed to successfully propagate the mushrooms in the underground city. As time went on, the number of glowing mushrooms in the vegetable garden increased, and their light was particularly dazzling in the dim underground city.
When the other residents of the underground city saw the glowing vegetable patch, they were all amazed. They gathered around the patch to watch and discuss the situation. Xiao Yi took the opportunity to explain to them the properties and effects of the glowing mushrooms, as well as their potential to combat mutant animals.
Soon, scientists in the underground city also noticed this strange mushroom. They began to conduct more in-depth research on the glowing mushrooms, hoping to extract substances that are effective against mutant animals. With Xiao Yi's help, they successfully extracted a substance called "light element", which has a strong inhibitory effect on mutant animals.
