"Although I survived, I still can't touch that guy," Li Changge said worriedly.
He had only been there a day when he almost died on the island.
"System, do you know where the crack went?"
When in doubt, ask the system.
"I don't know."
Even though Li Changge was prepared, he was still disappointed when he heard the answer.
"I still have to rely on myself." Li Changge thought to himself as he slowly walked out of the cave.
The sunlight was gentle today, but when it shone on Li Changge, he still felt completely unsafe.
When he stepped into the forest again, his eyes were immediately filled with vigilance.
"Croak, coo, yelp." The sounds of various animals reached Li Changge's ears.
"Strange, the forest was quite quiet yesterday, but why are there all sorts of ghostly noises today?" The further Li Changge went into the forest, the more frightened he became.
Even though he had already chosen to detour through the territory of the Azure Bull Python and head in another direction.
"Did I accidentally stumble into the territory of some awesome monster again?"
The next moment, Li Changge rejected the idea outright.
He remembered that when he was browsing the survival manual before, there was a passage that said high-level beasts have a strong sense of territory, so their territories are often very quiet.
If you find yourself in a completely empty place, you should start thinking about your safety.
Conversely, noisy places are often inhabited by lower-level animals, and even the strongest of them can only compete with the existence of an adult.
With his trident in hand, Li Changge was not afraid of this creature.
Thinking of this, Li Changge felt relieved. "But we still have to be careful. It would be terrible if we encountered another one of those half-fanged snakes."
Li Changge then began wandering, hoping to find the crack on a tree in the forest.
Unfortunately, there was nothing there.
To make matters worse, more and more forest creatures have discovered Li Changge's existence, and quite a few have already set their sights on him.
Li Changge was just an ordinary person and couldn't withstand the pressure. In the end, the system couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to speak up to help this novice, Li Changge, gain some practical experience.
"Go to the right. The grass there is clean and tidy, and there are hardly any living things. It's safer."
As Li Changge listened, he rolled over and disappeared into the bushes on his right.
During the period of system guidance, Li Changge also continued to learn and pay attention to some small details of the surrounding environment.
In one morning, Li Changge had already memorized many of the small details that the system had taught him.
"Don't panic when you encounter living creatures. Stay calm, pay attention to your surroundings, and plan the safest escape route in your mind."
This is the sentence the system says most often, and it's also the sentence that Li Changge remembers most vividly.
"Huff, huff, huff."
Li Changge lay flat on the grass, taking deep breaths, but made no sound.
"Always avoid making a big commotion in the wild." This was the second survival rule the system taught him.
Even though Li Changge had zero experience in wilderness survival, he had made significant progress after a morning of training from the system.
For example, resting in the grass this time is a very good example.
"Not bad, you're alright." The system rarely offered a word of praise.
After lying down for a while and feeling that his strength had almost returned, Li Changge cautiously stood up after seeing that there were no pursuing creatures around.
"System, what should we do next?"
The system did not respond, which clearly meant that Li Changge was left to handle the rest.
The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you.
That perfectly describes Li Changge's state at this moment.
Helpless, Li Changge could only slowly walk forward, observing the terrain as he went.
The trees here are not as dense as before; instead, there are more low hills.
There were only a dozen or so low-lying trees on the hill.
"This island has such a diverse terrain, with forests, lakes, and even hills," Li Changge muttered to himself.
He gripped the trident tightly in both hands and began to walk toward the hill in front of him.
The hills weren't far, and Li Changge climbed them very quickly.
But this one step completely terrified everyone.
Beneath the hills lies a small basin!
There was also a golden box in the center of the basin.
Holy crap!
The moment Li Changge saw the golden box, he immediately cursed.
"Ding, side quest activated: Golden Legend."
"Defeat the guardian beast and obtain the golden chest. Inside is what the host desires."
"Mission Reward: Golden Chest"
When Li Changge saw the box, the system inexplicably issued a task.
The reward for this task left Li Changge speechless.
"Tch, so the box I risked my life to get back is the mission reward? System, you really are more exploitative than capital." Li Changge gritted his teeth.
If that's the case, why would Li Changge risk his life? Anyone with a brain knows that the guardian beast is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
"No, the golden chest is indeed a reward, but the reward inside will be doubled after you complete the task. That is to say, if there is only one item inside, you will get two after you get it."
"That's alright then. I will definitely get my hands on this golden box."
"Note that the level of the guardian beast is determined by the value of the items in the box. In other words, the guardian beast may be able to be killed by you with one slap, or it may be able to be killed by you with one slap."
Upon hearing the system's explanation, Li Changge nodded solemnly, feeling a wave of lingering fear.
If I had been foolish enough to rush down there, my body would probably be cold by now.
"We need to find a way to test the strength of the guardian beast," Li Changge said, frowning.
But after thinking it over, Li Changge couldn't think of any good ideas other than going down and fighting it himself.
"Aaaaah, if the crack were still there, I would have gone down and started fighting right away!" Li Changge clutched his head in pain.
He suddenly realized that without the crack, he was truly nothing.
"Bah!"
As if to confirm Li Changge's longing, a familiar voice exploded in Li Changge's ears.
"Damn it, am I hallucinating?" Li Changge said irritably.
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I definitely can't beat that guardian beast on my own, no matter what its strength is. I have no choice but to give up," Li Changge said to himself.
"Bah, bah."
After two consecutive sounds, Li Changge became somewhat impatient.
"Where did that bird call come from? Get lost."
"Um?"
Li Changge suddenly looked up; he felt the voice was very familiar.
Could it be...
"Bah!"
The birdsong rang out again and again, this time from behind Li Changge.
Li Changge turned his head, and his pupils opened instantly.
"Crack, you're finally back!"
