Chapter 10 – Terrifying Beasts

“No way, you need blueprints to make both equipment and facilities too ……”

Xu Jingnian was somewhat speechless.

He thought that by building the workbench, the development of the homestead would be a big step forward, but it turned out to be just a knock on the door.

The good thing is that by consuming energy, you can learn random blueprints!

This was what Xu Jingnian was most satisfied with.

Thinking about the eight fire crystals still left, the little guy is also digging underground …..

There was nothing for him to hesitate about, and he directly took out a Fire Crystal from the Silver Treasure Chest.

Consuming Fire Crystal*1, the workbench is successfully energized!

[Current energy: 10 points.]

“A fire crystal, it’s actually only worth ten points of energy, what kind of dog workbench, obviously you can just rob it!”

Xu Jingnian was very heartbroken, but unfortunately, his cherished fire crystal …… had already been eaten by the workbench.

It’s no use regretting!

The most painful thing is that after Xu Jingnian used up this fire crystal, there were only seven left, and he couldn’t even charge enough energy for a hundred points to extract the blueprint ……

There’s a sense of being duped.

Right now, Xu Jingnian just wanted to wait for the little mountain-piercing armor to dig up a few more fire crystals, so he could fill up the workbench with energy and see what blueprints could actually be opened.

“You better whip out the forge!”

Xu Jingnian grunted and kicked his foot into the tin-clad workbench, not hard enough even though it would have hurt ……

He’s not stupid.

Back to the wooden bed.

Xu Jingnian thought about it, now that there was an extra workbench in the homestead and a wooden bed, it should add up to a higher percentage, right?

He opened the talent panel in his mind.

This look, however, startled him.

[Has gone into a state of rest]

[Comfort bonus: -200 (-200 for beasts prying nearby)]

[Energy recovery per second: +0.8]

[Favored Beast Tenfold Recovery Energy: +8]

It’s true that the “nothing” is gone, but why is there still the negative effect of the beast peering?

Xu Jingnian looked creepily into the mist, it was fine that he hadn’t noticed it before, but now that he was paying attention, he could vaguely hear the sound of footsteps coming from the mist.

“There really are beasts out there!”

Xu Jingnian exclaimed in shock, hurriedly rolling over and getting off the bed, standing cautiously next to the campfire.

He was pretty sure that at that moment, the beast was looking at him face to face, with only the fog between them.

“Here we go again right ……”

Xu Jingnian decided to open the campfire panel, and in a repeat of his old trick, he increased the illumination range to 20 meters!

[Changed the campfire illumination range to: twenty meters in diameter! Currently consumes 50 points of firewood per hour]

Boom–

The homestead bonfire burst violently into flames.

Bright light shone all around, and the mists of death receded, revealing the beasts hidden within.

“Roar!”

However, this one beast was actually bigger than a bus, a super beast!

It was crouching on all fours, its head resembled a deer’s head, and its body had been seared and reddened, but it was just roaring madly!

Xu Jingnian locked eyes with him.

The behemoth was seen spewing out harumphs, water droplets so large they had to be picked up in buckets to even hold them.

It’s not good to see the situation.

He hurriedly hid on the other side behind the bonfire, and he felt that the giant beast was even able to tear itself apart against the bonfire.

“Roar ……”

Luckily, after the first ten seconds of the most tense atmosphere had passed, the behemoth turned around and stepped into the mists, carrying Scorch.

After a long time.

It was only then that Xu Jingnian breathed a sigh of relief, and coupled with the fatigue value synchronized by the underground pangolin digging, he suddenly sat down on the ground with a somewhat disengaged feeling.

“What the hell?”

……

The crisis is temporarily lifted.

Xu Jingnian, however, didn’t dare to turn the lighting range of the campfire back to ten meters.

With too little range, he was truly feeling like the beast could even stick its head in and take himself.

“It’s great, day one, clawed beasts in the mist blocking the door, sleep and count to day two, and then horrible behemoths ……”

Xu Jingnian gritted his teeth.

This misty world, it’s quite a place!

At this time, the little guy suddenly furtively poked out a small head from the hole in the ground.

Having just heard the roar of the beast underground, it rushed back to “save” its master.

You could say it dishes!

But I can’t say it’s useless.

Facing the beast, it can’t be beaten, but it can accompany its master to die together, which is also considered loyal ……

When Xu Jingnian saw the little guy, who had just panicked, he really wanted his favored beast to have superb fighting strength as well.

[Favored Animal: Chinese Pangolin]

[Real name: unnamed]

[Attribute: Gold]

[Rank: Cub 1st Order (25%)]

[Skills: None]

[Specialty: Digging]

“Eh, the level progress went up!”

Xu Jingnian suddenly realized that his favored beast had elevated, and hurriedly called it over for a closer look.

He then concluded.

Is it elevated by eating meat?

Thinking of this, Xu Jingnian decided to let the little pangolin continue to eat, and it just so happened that, at this time, the little guy was also hungry.

It’s always mining and always digesting its body, and its satiety level is dropping fast!

In an average of an hour or two, it was necessary to eat, and each time the stomach was eaten until it was rounded before proceeding down the mine.

Xu Jingnian just realized.

How long has it been? That boar’s entrails were almost about to be eaten up by the little guy.

Scary as hell ……

As it happened, Xu Jingnian himself was hungry at this time, and also took a piece of dried pork and gnawed on it.

Tastes like chewing wax.

You can only pour it down with mineral water.

Meanwhile, the little pangolin held onto his stone basin and took small bites of what little pork sausage was left on it, bursting it with fresh sauce ……

Little guy:?

“Huh!”

Xu Jingnian had jerky in his mouth and hurriedly turned his head to the side, this favored beast can not be wanted ……

The truly original Nine Turns sausage was also enjoyed by the little pangolin.

In the end, Xu Jingnian really couldn’t hold back and still used mineral water to wash the little guy’s face.

After the meal, Xu Jingnian took out the banana that came with the previous deal and split half of it with the little one.

It’s still fruit that’s good.

So much better than flavorless pork jerky!

When the little guy finished eating half of the banana, Xu Jingnian once again looked at its panel:

[Rank: Cub 1st Order (30%↑)]

Really eating elevates it.

In that case, perhaps by the time of the Mist Riot in a month’s time, the armored man would have met the conditions for promotion to Transcendent!

“That’s good news.”

Xu Jingnian looked at the mists and then at his favored beast, finally gaining some comfort.

But it looked like the little guy was starting from a lower point, and the leveling up of the pups would probably only enhance the flesh.

What Xu Jingnian wanted right now was to hurry up and get the forging table out!

When the time came, it would start by using the clawed beast’s sharp claws to create a sharp, transcendent favored beast outfit for it.

Really!

At least a little bit of fighting.

Otherwise that security he’s missing is hard to make up for in other ways, and he’s scared every day.

Wait for the little guy to come down the mine.

Xu Jingnian then sat back on the bed, roasting the fire and continuing to rummage through the trading market.

On second thought, he shelved the newly traded Dark Bat Skin as well, intending to trade it for more food.

Otherwise, the way the little guy ate like this, the boar’s meat would be gone in a few days.

Get more food to stock up on.

The heart doesn’t panic when there’s food in the house ……
