After opening those resource boxes, Xiao Jin's anger had mostly subsided.
I glanced at the time; it was exactly 2 PM. The disaster map at 3 PM showed areas A and C, so I could eat without worry.
Xiao Jin thought for a moment, she was tired of all the food in the space, so she decided to try something different this time.
We got a lot of mutated beast meat from the resource boxes before, so let's just make some barbecue today.
Of course, some things were already in the space, so Xiao Jin took a shortcut and simply took out the condiments and washed side dishes. She used a portable camping pot with a baking tray on top.
Prepare all the meat, wash and cut it clean, and then put it on a disposable plate.
Although Xiao Jin had a big appetite, she didn't know if the mutated beast meat would taste good, so she didn't prepare much. She just cut some normal meat, tiger meat, venison, and mutton and beef from her space.
Xiao Jin thought about it and decided to pass on the mutated eagle meat and snake meat.
She has so many delicious foods in her space, she doesn't necessarily have to eat these two!
Once the baking pan was heated, Xiao Jin used chopsticks to pick up some tiger meat and grill it. A sizzling sound rang out, and the meat changed color in no time. Xiao Jin then took a tentative bite.
...Hmm...?
Xiao Jin blinked blankly, chewing away.
Not bad, it tastes pretty good.
I simply grilled the meat without adding any seasoning or dipping sauce, but how should I put it? The meat was incredibly fresh, tender, and chewy.
Just then, Xiao Jin paused, then pulled up the panel and looked at the mental strength section.
Sure enough, her mental strength increased, although only by 0.1. The red maple fruit increased significantly, but it was also expensive!
After eating the tiger meat, Xiao Jin initially felt fine, but she noticed a slight increase in her supernatural abilities, which immediately led her to associate it with mental power.
Xiao Jin's eyes gleamed as he looked at the mutated beast meat in his spatial storage. This wasn't ordinary meat; it was worth a fortune in points!
Knowing that this meat was not only delicious but could also enhance one's spiritual power, Xiao Jin ate heartily.
In the end, the tiger meat was all gone, but there was still a lot of venison left. Xiao Jin watched as his mental strength increased from 108 to 121.35.
It wasn't that the growth had stopped; it was that Xiao Jin simply couldn't eat anymore. Moreover, the growth rate decreased as the food increased, which Xiao Jin believed was related to the grade of the mutated beast meat.
The scorpion we killed earlier didn't drop any meat; otherwise, the stat gain would definitely have been more than that from tiger meat and venison.
…………
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Xiao Jin continued walking forward.
As she walked, she entered a swampy area.
Deep within the dark swamp, the dampness, like a heavy curtain, swallowed up all the surrounding light, leaving only a few faint rays of sunlight struggling to penetrate this chaotic barrier.
The swamp was deep, and Xiao Jin's steps were unusually heavy, each step accompanied by the gurgling and suction of the mud. At the same time, the surrounding air was filled with an indescribable musty and putrid stench.
Xiao Jin's eyebrows furrowed together.
After walking for a long time, we didn't see a single supply box, but the fog around us was getting thicker and thicker.
Swamps are prone to fog, and this fog is poisonous. To be on the safe side, Xiao Jin didn't dare to be careless and put on a gas mask.
After walking for another half hour, Xiao Jin finally found two resource boxes under floating algae in a dark and murky body of water.
The resource boxes here are clustered together, no wonder they're so hard to find.
Just as she was about to approach, the sky in the distance seemed to be torn apart, and a deafening explosion suddenly rang out, causing the surrounding water to ripple violently. You can imagine how loud the sound was.
In the distance, the flames, like the eyes of a demon, burned wildly in the night, turning half the sky red.
Xiao Jin listened intently, and along with the firelight, she could faintly hear screams of terror.
Her lips twitched slightly: "Are you going to go this far?!"
It was impossible to miss out on the excitement, and Xiao Jin had a vague idea in her mind. She retrieved the three resource boxes from the water and then rushed towards the explosion site.
Before rushing in, Xiao Jin looked around and finally chose a large tree with a good view to squat down on.
Even before she arrived, Xiao Jin had heard the roars of many wild beasts, interspersed with curses and screams, and the cries were intermittent, filled with fear and despair.
Xiao Jin looked ahead and his gaze settled on the chaotic area at the center of the fire.
A colossal creature swam slowly, its silhouette appearing and disappearing in the firelight, yet enough to instill fear in any living being. It was a gigantic mutated crocodile, far exceeding the size of ordinary crocodiles, its scales gleaming with a cold metallic sheen in the firelight.
At this moment, the sewage around the mutated crocodile was stained dark red with blood, and floating on it were tattered clothes, broken weapons, and fragments of flesh and limbs.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and the aura of fear, making it almost suffocating.
There were about a dozen players struggling to stand in front of the mutated crocodile, surrounded by many smaller crocodiles that tightly enveloped the players.
When Xiao Jin saw it, she was speechless. These people were really unlucky to have encountered a high-level mutated beast. This mutated crocodile, like the scorpion she had encountered before, was a king among mutated beasts. Back then, she and Chu Yuan had to fight it together for a long time before they could kill it.
The players were of varying skill levels and lacked a specific plan, making it difficult for them to turn the tables; the corpses scattered on the ground were proof of that.
However, the players must have fiercely resisted.
Xiao Jin had good eyesight and could see from a distance that the mutated crocodile had large charred patches on its chin, with all the scales popped up, exposing the charred flesh, and even teeth visible in the most severely affected areas.
It must have been caused by that explosion just now.
The players' fierce resistance was like lighting a fuse, instantly igniting the mutated crocodile's rage.
The gruesome wound at the corner of its mouth seemed to be a reminder that it had been injured by a group of small mice, which was undoubtedly a provocation to its dignity.
The mutated crocodile was panting heavily, its two yellow vertical pupils flashing with a chilling light in the dim light, locked tightly on the players' trembling bodies.
Then, it swung its tail hard, splashing mud high into the air.
As if receiving some unseen command, the surrounding crocodiles quickly and orderly tightened their encirclement.
"Ahhh!! Get away, don't come any closer!"
At this point, some players were so frightened they were on the verge of a breakdown.
He screamed and yelled at the top of his lungs, causing everyone to panic.
Someone was accidentally pushed out by the players behind them. The crocodile moved quickly, stretched out its head and bit them, then tore and bit them out.
It was then surrounded and devoured by several crocodiles.
