Yu Xiangnan never expected that, not long after he left, the high temperature that could melt rocks a moment ago would be replaced by the extreme cold that could freeze the air.
That's outrageous.
Luckily, I had enchanted the little shovel with a fire effect before I came.
She took out a black down jacket that she had prepared beforehand from the card album and put it on. Then she used the fire effect, and the surrounding area instantly became much warmer.
It must be admitted that the harshness of Mudi Star's environment is beyond imagination. After traveling for so long, not only have we not seen any water source, but there is also no trace of anything edible. Is this only limited to this public map area—the [Current Plain]—or is the entire Mudi Star a desolate place?
Yu Xiangnan continued walking forward while pondering.
In a short while, Yu Xiangnan's keen senses detected something unusual.
The speed... is very fast!
It doesn't look human!
Yu Xiangnan reacted quickly, gripping the shovel tightly and leaping back two steps.
Sure enough, in an instant, a dark figure suddenly darted out from a chaotic mist, carrying immense power, and slammed heavily into the spot where she had just stood, kicking up a cloud of dust.
She covered her mouth and nose, barely managing to make out the creature that had attacked her.
Its head is huge and irregular, taking up nearly a third of its body. Its surface is covered with pits and bumps. Its huge mouth splits from the flat front of its head all the way to its neck, with the corners of its mouth almost reaching its ears.
What attacked her just now was a thick, long tail trailing behind her, its surface covered with hard scales, and the end of the tail was sharp as a spear.
Countless sharp fangs pierced out of the gums, sticky with saliva, which dripped down one by one.
It looks extremely horrifying.
The text displayed above their heads reads: 【Star Devouring Beast】
Yu Xiangnan locked his gaze tightly onto the Star Devouring Beast before him.
Having missed its target, the Star Devouring Beast turned around, roared, and lunged at her again.
Yu Xiangnan dodged to the side, quickly avoiding the fatal blow, and swung his iron shovel, slamming it heavily onto the side of the Star Devouring Beast's head.
Thump—
It made a dull sound.
The Star Devouring Beast roared in pain, its thick tail sweeping across the battlefield.
Yu Xiangnan lightly touched the ground, leaped into the air, flipped once in the air, and then landed steadily behind it.
Seizing the opportunity, she channeled all her strength into her arms and stabbed fiercely into the Star-Eating Beast's back. The shovel struck the hard hide, sending sparks flying. Although it didn't break the skin or draw blood, the Star-Eating Beast was still enraged.
"roar!!!"
It opened its gaping maw, full of sharp teeth, and lunged at Yu Xiangnan once again.
Just as the Star Devouring Beast was about to engulf Yu Xiangnan, she raised her iron shovel high with both hands and slashed down fiercely at the Star Devouring Beast's fangs.
With a "snap," several sharp fangs were severed!
The Star-Eating Beast writhed in pain, and its offensive momentum faltered.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yu Xiangnan quickly retreated, increasing the distance between himself and the creature, adjusted his breathing, and kept a close eye on its every move.
Upon entering Mudi Star, she received a unique shield that could absorb 50% of the damage. This shield would automatically disappear after she left Mudi Star.
With this shield as a safety net, she didn't have to worry too much about her health points being wiped out all at once, so she focused her attention on finding the weaknesses of the [Star Devouring Beast].
However, the giant beast was covered with a layer of hard armor as hard as steel, almost airtight, and for a moment its eyes could not be found.
Are we really going to try to force our way through that thick, hard armor with just a small, broken shovel?
Although she believed in the indestructible nature of the little shovel, if she went in recklessly, she would inevitably get into a long and difficult war of attrition with this behemoth... What if she managed to defeat it after going through all the trouble, but before she had gone very far, the countdown of the Time-Space Scroll would end, and she would be teleported back to Earth just like that, wouldn't that be a complete waste of all her efforts?
As they remained locked in a stalemate with the star-devouring behemoth, the weather grew increasingly cold.
The fierce winds, accompanied by blizzards, raged mercilessly, leaving the world in a desolate and lifeless expanse, with temperatures so low that it felt as if one's bones were about to be frozen.
Yu Xiangnan's breath instantly froze in front of him, and in the bitter cold, the Star Devouring Beast seemed even more ferocious. Its huge head shook wildly, and its saliva froze into ice shards before it even hit the ground.
The giant beast swept its long tail, lifting the surrounding ice and snow several meters high, forming a vast expanse of white snow mist.
Using the cover of the snow mist, Yu Xiangnan quickly circled behind it and, taking advantage of the giant beast's slow turn, launched another attack.
The giant beast opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a foul stench mixed with ice shards. Yu Xiangnan did not back down. Just as she was about to be bitten, she shoveled the iron shovel into the monster's mouth and pried it open with both hands. She actually managed to forcefully pry open the giant beast's lower jaw.
Immediately afterwards, she pulled out the shovel and, with her last bit of strength, chopped down hard at the beast's throat.
It precisely severed the giant beast's vital point!
The Star-Eating Beast crashed to the ground, splashing up a large amount of snow. Thick, green blood spread across the snow, only to be quickly frozen by the low temperature. Yu Xiangnan stood there, panting heavily.

After defeating the Star Devourer, a bunch of notification boxes suddenly popped up.
Before Yu Xiangnan could even examine the loot and achievement rewards, the sweltering heat returned in an instant, the oppressive heat hitting him like a blast of steam.
She immediately took off her heavy down jacket and put it into her card holder.
[Star Devouring Core]...
It was a lucky accident.
According to her memory, this [Star Devouring Core] was mentioned in the collection manual as an achievement reward. It seemed to be a very important crafting material. Once she obtained another crafting material, she could craft an item with incredible effects.
Yu Xiangnan trekked for a long time before finally leaving the boundary of the plain and entering the Million Valley.
The scenery here has changed significantly compared to the plains below.
The surrounding environment had improved significantly; the air seemed much fresher, and her previously hazy vision suddenly became clear and expansive. Moreover, the rate at which she was losing health, which had been bothering her for a long time, had also slowed down considerably.
However, this place, though vast and boundless, resembled a desolate desert, eerily silent. Yu Xiangnan looked around; the enormous space was almost devoid of a human figure, and even traces of birds and beasts were hard to find.
Just when Yu Xiangnan thought the exploration was about to end in vain, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a strange movement in the distance.
She stared intently at it.
