Chapter 52 – Fog, Monsters

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After deactivating the Windrun skill, Zhou Chen felt a trace of exhaustion in his mind. This made him realize that the spiritual power consumption mentioned in the skill’s description was not fake.

“Is ten minutes per day the safe time? It’s a little short, but it’s enough to deal with some situations.”

While thinking about how to use this Windrun skill, Zhou Chen walked to the fire.

He did not encounter the so-called Shadow Claw Beast’s attack again on the way, making him feel that he should be safe now.

When he returned to the camp, he looked at the ponytail girl and the young man in the military uniform who were still guarding against the Shadow Claw Beasts’ ambush and directly said that he wanted to help.

He now knew that these Shadow Claw Beasts were a treasure. Good things might drop when they were killed.

Zhou Chen held his machete and helped these two companions attack the Shadow Claw Beasts. However, even after a round of torture, he was not able to kill any more Shadow Claw Beasts, and naturally did not obtain any drops.

“These shadow monsters are clearly immune to physical attacks. Isn’t it a waste of energy to slash them?”

The ponytail girl was puzzled by Zhou Chen’s help. Her only strategy against the shadow monster was to hide her face and dodge. She had already given up on counterattacking.

“This monster can be killed, but it’s very difficult.”

Zhou Chen did not hide it. He told them that the shadow monsters could be killed, but he did not say what it would drop.

The girl and the young man immediately revealed interested expressions, but after understanding the exact method, they immediately felt disinterested because they had already been numbed by this shadow. They no longer had the slightest desire to challenge the high difficulty maneuver.

Before long, the sky gradually brightened. The shadow monsters no longer appeared, and the three of them entered a relatively calm day.

Because they were injured all over from the shadow monsters’ attacks last night, and their clothes were about to be torn into pieces, the three of them went to gather some firewood and wild fruits before continuing to rest around the fire.

Zhou Chen still did not eat those fruits. He still followed the previous method, unbuttoning his camouflage suit and closing his eyes as he leaned against the tree to warm himself. He entered a half-asleep state to recover his energy.

The other two fell asleep and did not wake up until the afternoon.

“That naked man is not back yet?”

The girl asked, puzzled.

“He might have gotten lost after going out yesterday.”

The young man in the military uniform who had just woken up guessed.

Zhou Chen did not express his opinion. When he went out to look for firewood this morning, he deliberately chose the direction where the underwear man’s corpse was placed yesterday. He went to check and found that the underwear man’s corpse had disappeared, leaving only a few dark red bloodstains.

‘His corpse should have been devoured by those tree demons.’

Zhou Chen guessed. After all, this was the information they had obtained from the death of the white-coat young man.

The ponytail girl and the young man in the green military uniform ignored their friend who suddenly disappeared. They knew that they could not even protect themselves in the Survival mission and had no ability to care about the lives of others.

Soon, the sky darkened and night fell. The three of them prepared to welcome the shadow monsters.

This time, the ponytail girl planned to squat while covering her head with her hands and let the shadow monster attack her. After having taken a good rest, the young man in the green army uniform decided to challenge the shadow monster according to Zhou Chen’s instructions.

Zhou Chen was also filled with fighting spirit. He was determined to kill at least three Shadow Claw Beasts tonight and obtain some good drops.

However, man proposes, God disposes. When the three of them were prepared to welcome the shadow monsters and even expected more shadow monsters to appear today, those shadow monsters missed their appointment. Even until late at night, not a single one appeared.

“That’s not right. Isn’t the system’s routine to make it more difficult the further we progress? Why does it seem like it has taken a leave tonight?”

The ponytail girl was no longer maintaining the posture of holding her head and crouching down. She walked around the fire with her arms crossed, revealing a puzzled expression.

“This situation is not necessarily a good thing.”

The young man in the military uniform replied calmly.

“According to the Survival mission analysis report I obtained from the Administration, when this happens, it usually means a huge turning point.”

“So, the shit’s getting real?”

Zhou Chen smiled.

“Then let’s rest well tonight and prepare for the storm tomorrow.”

Zhou Chen returned to his posture of leaning against the tree and warming himself. He obtained nutrients by letting the light of the fire shine on his skin and recovered his energy through his half asleep state.

The other two thought that this was the only thing they could do now and quickly forced themselves to continue sleeping.

They did not arrange for night guards because they felt that tonight would be a rare period of peace.

Time gradually passed. Soon, the three of them woke up early the next morning.

Before long, the three people who were huddled around the fire realized the abnormality: there was fog in the forest.

The fog was dense. They could only see things within a ten-meter radius. Anything further than that appeared as a blurry outline.

Not long after, they heard faint footsteps in the originally silent forest. Occasionally, they could see some shadows moving in the distance.

“Looks like the monsters will attack during the day. Be prepared to fight.”

The young man observed for a while and took out a staff, preparing to fight.

Zhou Chen also quietly took out his spear, while the ponytail girl continued to use her glaive.

“This system is really evil. It has to send monsters when I’m hungry and have no strength.”

The girl also felt that the monsters were about to attack, so she complained.

About ten minutes later, the first monster in the fog came. It seemed to be a leopard, but its body was not made of flesh and blood, rather it seemed to be condensed from ice.

The moment this ice leopard monster appeared, it pounced at the ponytail girl. Its speed was very fast, and its sharp and transparent claws attacked the girl’s head.

The ponytail girl did not panic. She, who had been beaten by the shadow monster the night before, displayed her true strength. She turned around beautifully and dodged the ice leopard’s sharp claws. At the same time, her glaive slashed forward. With the fluttering of her ponytail, she cut the ice leopard into two.

“Hehe, I can’t defeat that shadow monster, but can’t I defeat a big fool like you?”

The girl said disdainfully. After being trampled by the shadow monsters, she looked down on the speed of this ice leopard.

“Eh? A meat bun dropped? System, I am sorry, I misunderstood you!”

After the ice leopard shattered, she suddenly exclaimed..
