Chapter 38: Lost Wilderness
The Wooden Box inside has poor resources, just 3 Compressed Biscuits, 5 Service Area black Protein Blocks, two bottles of water.
Resource Box in the Instance, very likely has tools targeting the Instance or similar.
Thinking of this, Yu Jiang searched even more seriously.
Ran 5 kilometers in one direction, the Map also had no edge prompt, this Place is bigger than she imagined.
These days, even in the rain, she would get out of the car to farm Zombies, the benefits of exercising Stamina and Reaction Ability are showing.
If it were before, in such gloomy and cold weather, hiking mountain roads, Yu Jiang definitely couldn’t persist for long.
She also prepared 6 Qi Replenishing Drinks for herself, equivalent to 180 more Fatigue Value than others.
If Overall Fitness can’t compete, she has Supplies, tired then just recharge!
Within 24 hours, using more than 6 Qi Replenishing Drinks will cause nosebleed affecting Health Value, otherwise Yu Jiang would prepare at least ten portions.
Instance has been going for 2 hours, someone in the Channel is asking if everyone has seen Boxes, what Things were opened.
What they say are all Compressed Biscuits and water, if there are important Supplies, no one would say it out.
At this time, someone sent a Voice message, the voice sounded very panicked, like hastily sent without time to convert to text.
“This Place is really off! There are strange sounds around me, did you hear them? Definitely not psychological, I just saw a black shadow flash by, not small in size, very fast Speed!”
The Voice with rapid panting and terrified Emotion was released, instantly making the Air around feel terrifying.
Especially when the wind blows, Leaves make rustling sounds, plus shoe soles stepping on wet dead branches.
‘Crack’
Subtle but unignorable sound entered the ears.
Amid a crowd of suspicious or agreeing voices, that Player sent another Voice,
“I thought of changing direction, but! That strange Movement seems to be following me, can’t shake it off at all, has anyone encountered this? I. Aaaah!!!”
Words not finished, then a burst of Exclaim, also dry Leaves friction, heavy object Impact sounds.
“What happened? What occurred?” Someone nervously asked.
“Is that brother okay?”
“Fuck, won’t he be done for?”
“What exactly is it, just say it!”
“I’m at the Map Needle Leaf Forest and Fallen Leaf Forest boundary, direction unclear, any companions around? Too scary!”
One stone stirs a thousand waves, everyone is no longer calm.
Some are more Optimistic, “Maybe just fell?”
“This is Instance! You believe? Is it my illusion, fuck! I feel rustling sounds around me too.”
Yu Jiang frowned and looked around, she found no abnormality.
Suddenly, sight locked on a Box On the Tree at a high spot on one side.
The position is tricky enough, if not for her looking up while Gathering Monkey Head Mushroom, really wouldn’t have found it.
This Tree is wet and cold, no good footholds.
With her skills that can’t even grab Eggs at the Supermarket, no point being stubborn, Yu Jiang directly took the Folding Ladder.
Just thinking maybe in the mountains there are high-place mountain goods to Gather, even occupying one Grid, she brought the ladder.
Facts prove, better safe than sorry, absolutely right!
Placed the ladder in a relatively flat, stable position, climbed up and then two more steps, with effort could reach the Wooden Box stuck on dead branches.
This height and posture hugging the Tree Trunk tightly, Yu Jiang couldn’t bring the Box down, so one hand gripped Bayonet, one hand opened the Box.
Ready anytime to stab the Monster inside, Box opened, no Monster inside, it’s a Compass!
[Oh, hidden here and you still found me, I’m not an ordinary Compass, have three small Area Scan functions in the Instance! Pick me up, you got treasure!]
Yu Jiang excitedly decomposed the Wooden Box, holding the Compass preparing to go down.
Suddenly, a strong unease surged in her heart, she didn’t look up to check, but immediately chose to climb down to probe the ladder.
This choice was correct, when a black shadow smashed down from above, she had space to act, shifted Body to dodge aside.
Black shadow almost grazed her arm as it lunged past, Yu Jiang saw several black spiders size of soccer balls on the Tree Trunk, not counting leg length.
Stiff hairs on Poisonous Spider look like needle tips, chelicerae fangs gleaming coldly, and sharp forelegs.
They waved eight legs, swiftly approaching Yu Jiang, the sound during Movement chilling.
Just said not seeing any along the way, turns out they come out in a group!
One on the Folding Ladder, seeing herself about to be surrounded, Yu Jiang gritted teeth and when Poisonous Spider jumped, directly let go and jumped back.
Less than 2 meters height, hasty jump down in serious case could fracture, luckily mountain forest ground soft, Yu Jiang’s Backpack behind also played a role.
On landing Body had impact, but no injury, human potential in danger is huge, she rolled on ground and jumped up nimbly like a Monkey.
Only now clearly saw how many, one, two, three, four
The more she counted the colder her back, exactly 6!
Can’t beat without Skill, even with Skill need to maneuver, unless her Poison Rain has reached Level 2.
Not fighting this Thing, can’t Level Up Skill, no Level Up Skill, fighting this Thing is suicidal.
Yu Jiang looked at the ladder on Tree Trunk, now no matter what, she must take the ladder.
Supplies finally picked up!
Now two Poisonous Spiders on ladder, Yu Jiang quickly planned Route, intend to lure them away first, then Positioning back around.
Say do it do it!
She took a Stone from pocket and smashed at ladder, target Poisonous Spider ran very fast, didn’t hit, but it got angry, eight legs charging at Yu Jiang.
Seeing this large black bristly Thing on ground approaching, the creepy rustling during walk echoing around, Yu Jiang bolted.
Time to fight then fight, time to run then run!
Her Agility can’t match Mutated Poisonous Spider, soon caught up.
Yu Jiang used Trees to block Damage, Crazy Positioning, finally retrieved Folding Ladder, successfully shook off Poisonous Spiders behind.
She was bitten once, Health Points -30, moderate Poisoning BUFF, but she not pushover, directly stabbed the one that bit her with full force.
Quite lucky, Bayonet Critical Hit, one slash left Poisonous Spider with 2 Health Points, she finished it, while running stuffed Detox Pill and Intermediate Healing Potion in mouth looking at Kill Resources.
This Thing’s Toxin is potent, vision distorting, Body Reaction and Health Value Decrease, bitten area turns green.
Moderate Poisoning also has 5 minutes Bleeding BUFF, 1 point blood per minute.
Without medicine, Yu Jiang wouldn’t dare risk going back for ladder.
