The system prompt ended.
Everyone fell silent.
Those who were still asleep seemed to sense something and opened their groggy eyes.
Even the noisy chat channel messages stopped refreshing at this moment.
The number of online users displayed on the channel chat was 31251.
In just half a minute, it changed to 31240.
This meant that as soon as the invincibility period ended, 11 people had already died.
"What should we do? What should we do? What are we supposed to do?"
"Did you notice that there are 11 fewer people online in the channel?"
"It's only been less than half a minute, and 11 people are already offline? Are they dead?"
"Damn it, I don't want to play anymore!"
"I want my mom, I want my wife! Let me go back!"
"I want to be invincible, let me be invincible for another day!"
"Brothers, my car is surrounded by wolves, what should I do? Who can save me!"
"My car was overturned by a bull in heat, and it's trying to get into my car now, someone save me!!!"
"..."
"..."
Fear and unease all erupted the moment the invincibility period ended.
Ye Li parked the car on the road.
He looked at the number of people in the chat channel.
Half an hour had passed, and besides the initial 11 people who died, no one else had died yet.
Actually, those 11 people all miscalculated the invincibility period.
The moment the invincibility disappeared, they didn't react at all, still thinking that the beasts opposite them wouldn't cause them harm.
It was due to a moment of carelessness that they were bitten to death.
Ye Li also thought of this possibility.
However, seeing the male lion lurking not far away, Ye Li's heart was still pounding.
"I'll have to face it sooner or later! I'll risk it!"
Ye Li muttered to himself, climbed onto the workbench in the back, and made two more iron axes.
Then he wrapped his pant legs with two pieces of cloth.
Without invincibility protection, even a venomous snake or a poisonous scorpion could take his life.
He had to be cautious.
After protecting his legs, Ye Li jumped out of the car and cautiously walked towards the distant male lion.
As he approached, the male lion also noticed Ye Li's presence.
"Roar!"
It stood up and roared at Ye Li, warning him that this was its territory and telling him to leave.
Ye Li was terrified, but looking at the silver treasure chest next to the male lion, he didn't want to retreat.
He couldn't retreat either.
If he really couldn't beat it, didn't he still have a gun?
Before a Desert Eagle, everyone is equal.
Lions are no exception.
Ye Li walked to a position he felt was appropriate.
The male lion had already prepared to pounce.
Ye Li mercilessly threw the iron axe in his hand towards the male lion.
Swish!
The male lion's body flashed to the side, dodging the first iron axe.
But it didn't expect the second iron axe to follow immediately.
Clang!
The axe blade just happened to cut its head.
Although it didn't cause too much damage, it still caused its head to bleed.
Feeling the pain on its head, the male lion became even angrier.
As the king of the savanna, someone was causing trouble in its territory.
It could not tolerate it.
"Roar!"
With a roar, the male lion suddenly sprang out.
Its speed was very fast.
However, Ye Li was also well-prepared.
As the male lion charged, his body quickly dodged to the side.
His speed was not slow either.
After all, he had also undergone training with gray wolves and mutated night demons yesterday.
How could he be so easily pounced upon?
While dodging, he even took out a third iron axe from his spatial ring.
Finding the right moment, he slashed it towards the male lion's belly.
Compared to the head, a lion's belly is more vulnerable.
Swish!
The iron axe was quite sharp.
With one swing of the axe, a very conspicuous red mark appeared on the male lion's belly.
The male lion roared in pain, its body suddenly twisted, and its paw, as big as a sandbag, swatted towards Ye Li's head.
This slap, carrying the sound of rushing wind, if it connected, even if his head didn't shatter, he would at least get a concussion.
Ye Li didn't dare to take it head-on.
He quickly fell backward.
He would rather fall than be hit by that slap.
Seeing Ye Li fall, the male lion pounced again.
Bang!
The male lion's body was still in mid-air.
A cloud of blood mist rose from its head.
Blood and brain matter splattered all over the ground, staining half of Ye Li's face red.
The male lion's corpse fell from mid-air.
Ye Li quickly rolled twice to the side, narrowly avoiding the fate of being crushed by the male lion's corpse.
"Phew!"
Looking at the male lion's corpse, Ye Li rubbed his somewhat numb arm.
The recoil of the Desert Eagle was not ordinary.
Firing with one hand was still a bit difficult for him now.
If it weren't for this lion actively pouncing, and if the distance were a bit further, Ye Li felt that he wouldn't have been able to shoot so accurately.
"A pistol is still the most effective!"
Ye Li finished collecting the male lion's corpse.
"【Obtained: Lion Meat * 100, Lion Hide * 1, Lion Penis * 1, Gold Coins * 8.】"
"【Lion Penis: After consumption, it replenishes qi and strengthens yang, invigorates the kidneys and nourishes deficiency.】"
How humane!
Ye Li looked at the ten-centimeter-long piece of meat in his hand and carefully put it away.
He might need it later.
He collected all the other items as well.
Ye Li came before the silver treasure chest.
Rubbing his hands with some excitement, he prepared to open the chest.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, another lion's roar sounded.
Ye Li looked into the distance, and a lioness was rapidly pouncing towards him.
"There's another one."
This time, Ye Li directly gripped the Desert Eagle with both hands, aiming at the lioness.
He didn't pull the trigger until the lioness was within five meters of him.
Bang!
The muzzle spewed deadly flames.
A cloud of blood mist also erupted from the back of the lioness's head.
Its four legs went limp, and it collapsed directly in front of Ye Li.
"【Do you want to collect the lioness's corpse?】"
"Collect."
"【Obtained: Lion Meat * 100, Lion Hide * 1, Gold Coins * 8.】"
"What a pity, it's a female, no little dong dong!"
Ye Li collected all the items with a look of regret.
He turned his head to look at the silver treasure chest at his feet.
With an excited heart, he opened it.
"【Obtained: Rice (25kg) * 1.】"
"【Obtained: Toilet Paper (Common) Crafting Blueprint.】"
"【Obtained: Car Frame (Common) Crafting Blueprint.】"
"【Obtained: Tang Dao (Excellent) Crafting Blueprint.】"
Looking at the three crafting blueprints in the box, Ye Li was a bit stunned.
It was not in vain that he risked his life and wasted two bullets to come and open this silver treasure chest.
He collected all the items.
Ye Li quickly returned to the car.
Now that he no longer had the invincible state, Ye Li felt very unsafe even staying outside for an extra minute.
Back in the car, Ye Li sorted through his belongings.
Then he took out the three crafting blueprints and examined them one by one.
