"Roar!"
Finally, as Ye Li continued to advance, the zombies let out roars and rushed out from behind the forest trees.
Ye Li gripped his iron axe tightly, found the right moment, and when the first zombie lunged at him, he aimed for its head and mercilessly chopped down.
"Ow!"
The zombie let out a wail, and green liquid splattered from the axe blade.
It fell to the ground like a pile of mud.
"Do you want to harvest the Night Demon's corpse?"
Night Demon?
Ye Li didn't even have time to think.
The Night Demons behind him had already pounced, surrounding him completely.
Those Night Demons attacked Ye Li like madmen.
All of them were blocked by a golden light around him.
"If only I could stay invincible forever."
Ye Li muttered, his hands not idle.
He swung the axe in his hand in a wide arc, hacking at the heads of the Night Demons.
Soon, all twenty Night Demons lay at his feet.
"Collect."
As Ye Li's voice fell, the Night Demon corpses at his feet all disappeared, turning into various materials.
"Obtained: Night Demon Serum * 20, Rag Fragments * 100, Gold Coins * 200."
"These Night Demons are so strong. If I didn't have the invincible state, facing these monsters, I would probably have been torn to shreds."
Ye Li looked at the Night Demon Serum in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.
Just then, an even more terrifying roar echoed from deep within the forest.
Ye Li collected himself and walked in the direction of the roar.
Along the way, Night Demons continuously sprang out from the forest.
All were dealt with by Ye Li, relying on his invincible aura.
"Obtained: Night Demon Serum * 10, Rag Fragments * 50, Gold Coins * 100."
Soon, at the end of the path, he saw a unique Night Demon.
This Night Demon was taller and more imposing than the others.
Its entire body was bulging with muscle.
Its mouth had four lobes, opening and closing.
Eight bone spurs were exposed on its belly, continuously wriggling.
"Heh heh. Did I encounter a mini-boss?"
Ye Li was incredibly excited.
He had a premonition that as long as he dealt with this monster, he would definitely gain many benefits.
"Eat—"
The Night Demon let out a roar, suddenly darting out and pouncing at Ye Li.
Its speed was like that of a leopard.
"Hiss!"
Ye Li dodged sideways, bringing his iron axe down hard on the Night Demon's head.
"Bang!"
The iron axe struck the Night Demon's head, emitting a dull thud.
It only broke its skin and flesh, causing no substantial damage.
And this Night Demon's reaction speed was also extremely fast.
As soon as it was struck by Ye Li, its claws had already swiped at him.
"Bang!"
Its claws struck the golden light.
Similarly, it couldn't harm Ye Li in the slightest.
"Gak!"
The Night Demon let out a startled cry, as if cursing Ye Li for cheating, for having a layer of turtle shell on him.
Ye Li ignored it, carefully observing the Night Demon's attack methods.
Claw attack!
Fang biting!
Leaping pounce!
These were the Night Demon's three main killing moves.
With continuous attacks proving ineffective, the Night Demon grew increasingly enraged.
Its attack frequency became faster and more erratic, having completely lost its patience.
Ye Li, on the other hand, was unhurried, dodging and attacking simultaneously, striving to precisely hit the Night Demon's head after every dodge, or to quickly evade after every hit on the Night Demon.
If he absolutely couldn't avoid an attack, he would take it head-on with his body.
Anyway, he had the invincible aura.
The Night Demon couldn't harm him at all right now.
After numerous attempts, Ye Li had also basically figured out the Night Demon's weakness, which was its head.
Compared to other parts, its head was the most fragile spot on its entire body.
Bang!
Finally, after half an hour of attempting and sparring, Ye Li's axe finally sank into the head of this Night Demon.
"Gak—"
Accompanied by a wail, the Night Demon's sturdy body fell heavily to the ground.
"Do you want to harvest the Mutated Night Demon's corpse?"
"Collect."
"Harvested: Night Demon Serum * 2, Rag * 5, Gold Coins * 20."
Looking at the items dropped from the Mutated Night Demon, Ye Li couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
He had thought something unique would drop, but it turned out he had overthought it.
After putting away the items, a silver halo caught Ye Li's attention.
Ye Li walked a few more steps forward.
He pushed aside the bushes at the end of the path.
Inside, there was actually a treasure chest shimmering with a silver halo.
"Silver Treasure Chest: Contains some basic living supplies, materials, and crafting blueprints. Occasionally, higher-grade items can be opened."
"It's actually a higher-grade treasure chest. It wasn't in vain that I came all this way."
Ye Li was overjoyed and quickly ran over to open the treasure chest.
Golden light diffused, even more dazzling than when he opened the Bronze Treasure Chest, causing Ye Li to reflexively avert his gaze.
Only when the golden light subsided did he shift his gaze back to the treasure chest.
"Obtained: Blanket * 1."
"Obtained: Iron Ingot * 10."
"Obtained: Car Door (Normal Grade) Crafting Blueprint."
"Obtained: Anti-Night Demon Serum Crafting Blueprint."
Ye Li held the blanket in his hand.
It was very smooth, soft, and provided good warmth. He could cover himself with it at night to stay warm while sleeping.
The iron ingots were nothing special. This material was the most common in the chat channel and the trading mall.
Ye Li's gaze was mainly fixed on the two crafting blueprints.
"Car Door (Normal Grade) Crafting Blueprint."
"Required Materials: Iron Ingot * 30."
"Can be used five times."
Five times. Just enough to replace all five doors of the van.
However, looking at the number of iron ingots, Ye Li's brow furrowed deeply again.
Crafting one car door required 30 iron ingots. Replacing all five would require 150 iron ingots.
He currently only had 12 iron ingots.
It was a long and arduous journey!
Ye Li put away the car door crafting blueprint and looked at the second blueprint in his hand.
"Anti-Night Demon Serum Crafting Blueprint."
"Required Materials: Night Demon Serum * 1, Wood Ash * 1."
"Can be used repeatedly."
"Efficacy: After being harmed by a Night Demon, it can effectively remove residual Night Demon virus from the body."
"Effective if used within 24 hours."
Ye Li looked at the blueprint, his eyes glowing green.
Night Demons carried a virus; as soon as one was attacked, one would be infected.
If the virus remaining in the body was not removed within 24 hours, one would be infected and die.
At this point, the importance of the Anti-Night Demon Serum became apparent.
And the synthesis materials for the Anti-Night Demon Serum were not uncommon.
Night Demon Serum could be obtained by killing Night Demons.
Wood ash could be easily obtained in large quantities by burning some dry firewood.
"I really hope others don't have this; then I can make a fortune."
Ye Li thought with anticipation, walking out of the forest.
The path had already reached its end.
The forest was pitch black again.
Ye Li didn't plan to delve into the woods to explore.
As he walked back, he picked up dead branches and leaves from the ground, preparing to return to the road to get more wood ash.
The Evernight disaster three days later. These Night Demons were very likely to be the most common monsters during the disaster.
Ye Li wanted to make some preparations early.
