After extinguishing the still-smoking campfire, Liu Nian continued to explore. The place was unexpectedly large, and he didn't know how much longer he would have to stay here. The pitch-black environment made him feel extremely depressed.
At the end of the swamp, there were two paths leading in different directions. After hesitating for a moment, Liu Nian continued to walk along the path on the right.
With glowing ravens providing illumination ahead, Liu Nian can summon more creatures without worrying about unpredictable attacks.
This made him feel safer and also increased his walking speed.
After leaving the swamp, the terrain changed again, and this time we entered soft, green grass.
Before we knew it, we had already experienced three different landscapes. We couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the Creator. Who could have created such a strange world?
Liu Nian was overjoyed to find a small amount of dry grass and trees in this area, as fuel was always a welcome addition to any supply.
To ensure the lighting wouldn't be disturbed, he gathered some dry branches and grass and put them into his travel bag. The bag was quite full in no time.
I weighed the travel bag in my hand. It was a bit heavy, but it felt sturdy. To avoid attacks in the dark, the weight was acceptable.
Walking through this vast grassland, Liu Nian lost her sense of direction, but the faint fragrance of grass in the air calmed her down considerably.
Before he could enjoy his comfort for long, he suddenly heard a raven warning him from ahead.
Liu Nian's heart skipped a beat. He listened intently and realized it wasn't the sound of an enemy attack; it must have discovered something.
Taking two steps at a time, I quickly approached and saw that there was a human skeleton there, now only mottled white bones left after the erosion of time.
Scattered among the grass around his remains were supplies, similar to those Liu Nian had found: dry grass, branches, and a small amount of rotten matter, from which the original appearance of the food could still be vaguely discerned.
What delighted Liu Nian the most was that there was a lantern, its surface covered in rust, indicating it had been idle for a long time.
With a "let's give it a try" attitude, Liu Nian turned on the lantern switch.
Although it is covered in rust, it still shines brightly.
The surrounding darkness was oppressive and extremely challenging to one's mental fortitude.
But the soft light instantly illuminated everything around him, giving Liu Nian the hope to continue.
Perhaps because it hadn't been used for a long time, the flame was somewhat weak.
Liu Nian placed the dry grass, withered branches, and fluorescent fruit into the lantern in that order, and finally found that the lantern provided the longest illumination time when the fluorescent fruit was placed inside.
He quickly found a shallow pit and buried his predecessor's remains. After doing all this, he continued his previous exploration.
With the help of a moving light source, the exploration efficiency was greatly increased.
Perhaps their good luck had run out, because no more valuable items were found in this grassy area.
After leaving the grassy area, the next area is a rocky area. Here, fluorescent grass occasionally grows from the cracks in the rocks, and in some places, you can even see traces of carrots.
As Liu Nian ventured deeper into the area, he discovered many houses made of tall carrots.
Looking at the house in front of him, Liu Nian was somewhat incredulous.
How could anyone live in this pitch-black abyss?
If Liu Nian is left here, he will go crazy in less than three days.
Having gathered his summoned creatures here, and adhering to the principle of politeness before resorting to force, Liu Nian cautiously knocked on the door of a house.
The small window let in no light, so I don't know if anyone was inside.
A few seconds after knocking on the door, before Liu Nian could react, a figure dressed entirely in white darted out from inside.
After it darted away for a while, Liu Nian realized, by the light of the surroundings, that it was actually a life-sized, snow-white rabbit.
The white rabbit leaped three feet high, sniffed the air for a moment, then fixed its scarlet eyes on Liu Nian, its originally adorable face now contorted with rage.
Alarm bells rang in Liu Nian's mind, and for a moment she couldn't understand why she was suddenly being targeted.
Before he could come up with a solution, sensing the hostility, the summoned creatures around him unceremoniously surrounded the rabbit.
Like normal humans, rabbit-people are also bipedal animals.
Ignoring the threats around it, the rabbit focused on Liu Nian and leaped towards him.
Before it could jump to Liu Nian's side, it was intercepted by the vampire in mid-air.
As the vampire attacked, the rabbitman was forced to fall from mid-air.
The injured rabbit let out a series of screams, which stirred up a hornet's nest. The surrounding rooms opened one after another, and rabbit-men launched an attack on Liu Nian and his summoned creatures.
The battle broke out without warning, and Liu Nian led his summoned creatures in a fight-and-retreat escalation.
This area was clearly rabbit-people territory, and large numbers of them were surging towards it, their angry screams echoing throughout the region.
Watching these aggressive rabbits use their teeth as a means of attack, Liu Nian finally understood what it meant for a rabbit to bite when cornered.
Unfortunately, although these rabbitmen were brave, they were no match for Liu Nian's summoned creatures. In the end, except for a few rabbitmen with low health who managed to escape, the rest of the rabbitmen were wiped out.
Like the Abyss Worms, the corpses of these rabbit-men could only summon the Black Knight.
After the recruitment was confirmed, a dozen or so black warriors slowly emerged from the magic circle.
As the number of Black Warriors increased, Liu Nian's team of fourth-tier summoned creatures gradually took shape.
However, the most excited one was the Spider Queen, whose corpse could recruit liches. Now, with Tiffany added to the mix, Liu Nian's lich arsenal had reached two.
In summary, Liu Nian currently has two Tier 5 units, a Lich King, and a Tier 6 unit, the Terror Knight, which is in a league of its own.
Holding the glowing berry card in his hand, he walked forward. It was the fruit that grew on the head of the abyss worm, and the note stated that the fruit was edible.
Consuming it increases satiety, lowers sanity, and makes one glow for several minutes. Liu Nian would only consume this as a last resort.
The ravens' glowing fruits had become somewhat dim, so Liu Nian replaced one for each ravens and continued walking forward.
The remaining rabbit-people trailed far behind, roaring loudly. Although they were angry, they did not continue to chase after Liu Nian.
Liu Nian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He had no intention of annihilating its race. Regardless of anything else, the principle of balance was extremely important.
The food chain is a continuous cycle, and breaking the rules will inevitably lead to disaster.
Because of the rabbit people, Liu Nian had many more food and ingredient cards, including chunks of meat, carrots, and rabbit skin.
They reached another fork in the road, and this time Liu Nian subconsciously swallowed.
The reason was simple: ahead was a narrow path that could only allow one person to pass at a time, with a bottomless abyss beneath one's feet, making Liu Nian feel as if he were walking on thin ice.
A raven's warning came from ahead, followed by a series of low footsteps.
"Choke, choke~"
Liu Nian carried the lantern forward and shone it forward. When he saw the appearance of the approaching demon, he was greatly surprised.
