After breakfast,
Ye Feng stood at the door of the small wooden cabin, looking out at the unfamiliar snow-covered landscape that had replaced the familiar skyscrapers, lost in thought.
“The legendary… Creation Lamp?”
“Seems like a rather extraordinary item!”
Ye Feng recalled the words written on the golden paper he had found shortly after arriving in this Ember world: “Live well, and I hope you can find the legendary ‘Creation Lamp’!”
He couldn’t help but feel a stir of interest!
However, Ye Feng quickly faced reality. Just as the golden paper had stated at the beginning, “Live well….”
As he was now, he had to first figure out his current situation, find supplies, survive, and then find a way to become stronger.
Ye Feng knew very well that whether he was searching for the Creation Lamp or doing anything else, personal strength would always be the most important factor!
Moreover, the Creation Lamp sounded like it wouldn’t be easy to find, and there might be all sorts of monsters around it…
After some deliberation,
Ye Feng began to move the large pile of supplies out of the small wooden cabin. Then, following the system’s instructions, he performed a series of operations, and the entire cabin instantly entered the 1 cubic meter miniaturized space he had just purchased.
According to the system, this portable space warehouse initially required a structure.
Thus, feeling a pang of reluctance for the small cabin he had spent so much time modifying, Ye Feng naturally chose to use the cabin as the structure.
“Whoosh~”
With a flash of light, Ye Feng’s consciousness entered a place that was both strange and familiar to him: a miniature version of the “small wooden cabin,” only 1 cubic meter in size.
Subsequently, Ye Feng’s consciousness withdrew. He picked up a plump little bun from the ground, and with a thought, the bun instantly disappeared from his hand, entering his portable space warehouse.
“Truly a good thing!”
After several trials, Ye Feng was very pleased.
He organized the supplies, putting most of them into the space warehouse and the rest into his backpack.
“Beep~ Detecting a mature Enhancement Fruit, location 0.9 meters to your rear left~”
Ye Feng, who was searching for anything he might have left behind, suddenly heard the system’s alert.
“Enhancement Fruit? What is that?”
Ye Feng looked to his rear left and immediately spotted a small tree, about a person’s height and not very thick.
“The small tree where I picked some unknown wild fruits before?”
Ye Feng was surprised.
He walked towards the small tree and discovered that on the tree, which he had previously picked clean except for one very small fruit, there was now a bright red, fist-sized fruit that looked somewhat like a tomato and was emitting heat.
“Is this the Enhancement Fruit? Has the one I left last time ripened?”
Ye Feng scrutinized the bright red Enhancement Fruit for a long time before picking it.
Although he didn’t quite understand what this thing enhanced, and it seemed to have side effects.
But since the system had prompted him, Ye Feng figured it wouldn’t be too bad.
“Hmm? This!”
As soon as he picked the fruit, Ye Feng’s expression changed.
He felt a strange heat emanating from the red glow of the Enhancement Fruit, which entered his palm and then surged upwards along his arm.
Ye Feng’s arm instantly felt a severe throbbing and stinging pain. He instinctively flung his arm, throwing the Enhancement Fruit to the ground.
The moment the Enhancement Fruit hit the ground, its red light spread. The weeds covered by the red light began to grow at a visible speed, instantly breaking through the thick snow…
“What in the world is going on?~”
Ye Feng scanned his surroundings and immediately plucked a large handful of leaves from the small tree that had grown the Enhancement Fruit, placing them in a plastic bag.
Then, he quickly moved to a certain spot, squatted down, packed the Enhancement Fruit into a plastic bag filled with the leaves of the Enhancement Fruit tree, and stored it in his space warehouse.
“Phew~”
Looking at the Enhancement Fruit in his space warehouse, which was still emitting a red glow but showing no unusual activity, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had left the Enhancement Fruit on the ground, he didn’t know what would have happened.
After all, the weeds that had been buried under the snow were now as tall as Ye Feng’s calf…
After thinking about it, Ye Feng dug up the entire small tree that had grown the Enhancement Fruit, along with a large amount of soil from its roots. He cut some of the branches and laid them diagonally into his space warehouse.
“That’s about it. It’s time to leave here~”
After confirming that he hadn’t left anything behind, Ye Feng mounted his KTM 450 EXC off-road motorcycle and started the engine.
“Roar~”
With a thunderous roar, Ye Feng began to speed across the snow-covered ground, his actions embodying the saying that where there was no path, a path was made by those who walked it.
From here on, Ye Feng embarked on a path of survival and self-improvement!
….
Because the KTM 450 EXC was equipped with WP’s top-tier suspension, Ye Feng found the ride quite comfortable, even with its SOHC four-stroke engine exceeding 400cc and the extremely poor road conditions.
The only drawback was probably its deafening roar!
After all, it had snowed heavily the previous day, and all the animals had hidden away. The entire area was very quiet, making the roar of the KTM 450 EXC sound exceptionally abrupt, even jarring!
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Ye Feng frowned.
He heard the sound of running ahead, and snow was constantly being kicked up.
Clearly, something was running towards him, and in considerable numbers.
“What is that? Dinosaurs?”
When he finally saw the creatures running towards him, Ye Feng was somewhat surprised. They were a group of creatures that strongly resembled Velociraptors, but they had no eyes.
“Beep~ Detecting Bloodsound Lizards approaching…”
“Bloodsound Lizard: Approximately 2 meters in length, social animals, sharp teeth and claws, strong bite force, no vision, extremely sensitive hearing, hunt by sound, prefer to attack targets that make loud noises, especially fond of the sound of prey’s blood gushing when injured…”
At this moment, the system’s alert sounded.
“Damn it, these guys are coming for me~”
After hearing the system’s explanation, Ye Feng immediately understood. It was likely that the loud noise of the KTM 450 EXC had attracted these creatures.
Then, Ye Feng turned his KTM 450 EXC in another direction and sped away.
Although he wanted to kill some Bloodsound Lizards to see if he could gain usable points.
However, there were dozens of Bloodsound Lizards, and he didn’t want to take the risk…
“Roar~”
The loud roar of the KTM 450 EXC off-road motorcycle seemed to stimulate the pack of Bloodsound Lizards, and they ran even faster, getting closer and closer to Ye Feng.
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn’t help but accelerate.
“Bang!~”
Suddenly, the motorcycle hit a large rock buried in the snow.
Distracted by checking his rearview mirror, Ye Feng lost his grip on the handlebars, and the bike twisted, sending him tumbling to the ground. The motorcycle slid a considerable distance away.
Seizing this opportunity, the Bloodsound Lizards rapidly closed the distance between themselves and Ye Feng.
One of the smaller ones was less than ten meters away from Ye Feng.
“Damn!”
Ye Feng couldn’t help but curse, directly pulling out the Glock 18 he had just bought that morning and pulling the trigger.
“Bang bang~”
After two gunshots, the Bloodsound Lizard fell to the ground.
“Ding~ Host has eliminated 1 Bloodsound Lizard, gaining 0.7 usable points~”
Ye Feng had no time to celebrate gaining usable points, as the other Bloodsound Lizards were now even closer.
He quickly ran to the KTM 450 EXC, righted the off-road motorcycle, started the engine, and drove forward again.
Ye Feng observed the pack of Bloodsound Lizards in the rearview mirror, but he didn’t continue firing.
After all, he only had one magazine, and his shooting accuracy was mediocre.
If that Bloodsound Lizard hadn’t run directly towards him at close range, he likely wouldn’t have hit it.
Let alone now, while riding a fast-moving and quite bumpy off-road motorcycle…
Because Ye Feng was unfamiliar with the terrain and had never ridden such a professional off-road motorcycle before, he wanted to accelerate and escape, but each attempt was unsuccessful.
Slowly, Ye Feng was caught up by the pack of Bloodsound Lizards, the distance between them shrinking, and he became increasingly anxious!
“Hmm?”
Just as Ye Feng was fretting like an ant on a hot pan, he noticed a spot – a semi-enclosed area surrounded by many large rocks.
“Got it!”
After a moment of thought, Ye Feng quickly came up with a plan.
He once again changed direction and sped rapidly towards the cluster of rocks.
