Xie Yu placed the scallion pancakes on two tree branches and grilled them for a little over a minute on each side. The aroma of the pancakes began to slowly waft out.
"Gudong."
A clear swallowing sound rang out.
Gu Mian looked over, and the little girl hiding behind Xie Yu blushed and shrank back.
Gu Mian looked away and took a bite of the scallion pancake.
emmm
It was a bit hard, but it tasted better than when it was cold.
She handed Xie Yu another scallion pancake that had gone cold, saying, "This one is for you."
Xie Yu was taken aback, and stammered, "Thank you."
...
Gu Mian leaned against the tree trunk, taking a bite of scallion pancake and a sip of mineral water to raise her satiety level to 60. Just as she was about to eat a piece of chocolate, she saw a private message pop up.
Xu Kun: "Here's a gift of [Delicious Grilled Fish*2]. I just caught a few fish, little sister, try it and see how it tastes."
[Successfully claimed your prize! You have received 4 delicious grilled fish.]
[Delicious grilled fish: Increases satiety by 10 after consumption.]
The grilled fish wasn't big, about the size of her palm, and its skin was grilled to a golden brown, emitting an enticing aroma.
Gu Mian swallowed hard, took a bite, and her eyes lit up with delight.
Kunzai's grilled fish skills are getting better and better!
Gu Mian ate a fish in a few bites, thoroughly enjoying her meal.
[This round of alien creatures is about to be released. Players, please prepare for battle!]
[Currently loading: 10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1!]
[Deployment complete!]
A black light descended from the sky, landing not far from the fire.
Xie Yu scooped up his daughter and quickly carried her back on his back. Then he picked up the weapon on the ground and moved closer to Gu Mian.
As the light faded, dozens of black earthworms, each about half a person's height, appeared on the ground.
Earthworms also smelled Gu Mian and the others, and began to wriggle and attack them.
"My God! How can there be such a big earthworm? It's disgusting!" Gu Mian, feeling a chill run down her spine, pulled out five willow-leaf knives and threw them out in a panic.
Xie Yu also frowned; her weapon was a curved blade, meaning she would have to fight the earthworm in close combat.
But……
She glanced at the fastest wriggling one, which was almost in front of her, and quickly jumped away to avoid the earthworm's attack, then slashed down with her knife.
[Health Points - 100]
[Kill a Tier 1 mutated earthworm and gain 1 experience point.]
The earthworm disappeared, and a sandwich appeared on the ground.
Xie Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her scimitar was a high-level weapon, capable of killing an earthworm with a single strike, eliminating the need for a prolonged struggle with the creature.
She quickly picked up the sandwich, but before she could put it in her pocket, another earthworm attacked her.
Another slash, and the earthworm vanished, but this time no supplies dropped.
There was no time for regrets. Xie Yu stuffed the sandwich into his pocket and then took the curved knife and charged at the other earthworms.
...
[Kill a Tier 1 mutated earthworm and gain 1 experience point.]
[Kill a Tier 1 mutated earthworm and gain 1 experience point.]
[Kill a Tier 1 mutated earthworm and gain 1 experience point.]
The system notification sounded repeatedly.
On the other side of the fire, Gu Mian deliberately avoided Xie Yu and lured half of the earthworms to that side.
Although she felt disgusted by the sight of this thing, fortunately she could attack from a distance, so she only needed to kite the monster while swinging her willow-leaf dagger.
[Kill a Tier 1 mutated earthworm and gain 1 experience point.]
Another earthworm died, and a purple glutinous rice ball burst out on the ground.
[Talent used, obtain 2 glutinous rice balls.]
[Sticky rice ball: Increases satiety by 20 after consumption.]
Gu Mian quickly bent down and picked up the rice ball from an angle where Xie Yu couldn't see it, then threw it into the backpack that had been unzipped and kept open.
There weren't many monsters deployed this time, so they were all dealt with quickly.
And because it's two people fighting monsters, they don't consume too much stamina.
Gu Mian killed 6 earthworms, which depleted 60 stamina points. She was now leaning against a tree trunk, sipping orange juice to rest.
Of the 6 earthworms, only 3 dropped supplies: glutinous rice balls, self-heating hot pot, and freshly squeezed orange juice.
[Self-heating hot pot: Increases satiety by 30 after consumption.]
[Freshly squeezed orange juice: Increases satiety by 5 after consumption.]
Her backpack was already full, so she put the self-heating hot pot aside and drank the orange juice.
Xie Yu frowned, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far: "Something feels off. Why are there so few monsters being deployed by the system?"
