Chapter 41: Throwing Weapon
Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios
In the ruins of the city, Feng Qi advanced cautiously.
After leaving the dilapidated neighborhood and confirming that he was now safe, he planned to return to the Star City Shelter to read the information first.
As for exploring the new world covered by the domain, he was not in a hurry to do that. He would consider it when he had the money to replenish his energy.
After all, this world was filled with dangers. If he explored recklessly, he might just die at any time.
He had one chance to access the cultivation techniques left. He did not want to
waste it.
On the way back, he did not take the street he came from. Instead, he planned
to take a long detour from the west.
This was because not only was the way here full of strange vines, but he might also run into Blackie head-on. At that time, he might not be as lucky as before.
He lowered his head and looked at the girl who was firmly attached to his chest like an octopus. A hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
Till now, he still did not know where she had come from.
While on the way, he pulled the girl off his chest and played with her in his
hand.
He pinched her nose, her face, knocked on her head…
“Eh!”
Realizing that the little girl did not have a gender, he was even more certain that she was not human.
During his probing, he also discovered that as long as the little girl had physical contact with him, she would not open her eyes. However, once they were separated, she would quickly open her eyes and pounce on him.
When tried to throw her out, she would crawl back and suck onto him, throw her out again, crawl back… After a few times, the narrator’s voice appeared in
his mind.
[Are you human? She’s still a child!]
“Narrator, this thing against Blackie, who do you think is stronger?”
[1 don’t know who’s stronger, but I know you’re a real bastard.]
As Feng Qi took a detour to the west, the scenery around changed. The number of towering buildings decreased, and the wild grass that grew crazily even
blocked his vision.
As he continued forward, he observed his surroundings warily to prevent any unexpected situations.
After walking for about half an hour, the number of buildings around him decreased significantly.
At this moment, the little girl lying on his chest suddenly opened her eyes and nimbly slid down his left leg to the ground. Her grayish-white pupils looked to the right, then she moved her limbs and crawled in that direction.
Seeing this, Feng Qi was puzzled.
Although he was curious where the little girl was going, with the mindset that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had absolutely no intention of
following her.
After all, curiosity could really kill, especially in this dangerous future world.
However, just as he was about to leave, he heard a deafening monster roar coming from the front.
He instantly retracted his foot.
[ Are you afraid? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and cozy up to her.]
“Afraid? Me?!”
[I know you’re not afraid, but you’re poor!]
“Come, come, come. Get out here, let’s fight.” Feng Qi could not help but glare.
[Angry now? What’s the point of going out? If you have the ability, come in
here and we’ll fight.]
This time, he did not say anything else. He decisively walked in the direction where the little girl had left towards.
Although the little girl might not be reliable, at least with her around, his safety might be guaranteed.
As he ran forward, he went around an ancient tree that was more than 30 meters tall and arrived at a slope covered in gravel.
At this moment, the little girl was on a slope. She was on both knees and looked at the empty land in front of her with a dull gaze.
“What is she doing?” He couldn’t help but mutter.
He took a step forward and came to the little girl’s side. He looked around but still did not find anything special about this place.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, the little girl suddenly leaped up and burrowed into the nearby wild grass bush at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately wanted to follow.
However, the little girl’s figure quickly returned with a bright yellow flower in her mouth.
When she returned to the slope, she knelt on the ground again. Then, she slowly put the flower in her mouth into the ground. A tear suddenly fell from her grayish-white pupils.
“Bang… Chi… Ooh…”
???
The little girl’s series of mysterious actions left him at a loss.
However, from these actions, he could tell that she seemed to have some special feelings for this land.
While feeling puzzled, he couldn’t help but ask softly, “Suction Cup, are you
still coming with me?”
The little girl ignored him and continued to stare blankly at the soil, looking especially dazed.
Realizing that she would not follow him anymore, Feng Qi could not help but sigh. Then, he headed towards the west alone.
Even without the little girl’s protection, he had to return to Star City Shelter. Although he didn’t want to admit it, there was only one word to describe why it was so difficult to survive.
“Poor.”
If he had money, he could completely ignore death. At most, he could sleep again and start from scratch.
He continued west. After walking for about twenty minutes, he suddenly heard movement behind him.
He turned around and saw a thin figure pouncing over. Then, it slammed heavily into his chest and became firmly attached.
As he flew backward, he realized that “Suction Cup” had returned.
Then, his head hit the ground hard.
He stood up again and looked at the little girl whose face was still stained with tears. He wore a helpless expression.
Then, he continued on his way with her.
After walking for an unknown period of time, he finally left the abandoned building area and arrived at the familiar burial ground. His vision suddenly widened.
After figuring out his bearings, he walked straight toward the Star City Shelter. As long as the living dead he encountered along the way did not attack on their own initiative, he chose to spare them.
It was very likely that Blackie was already following him. Time was very important to him now.
There were plenty of opportunities to become stronger, but every time he entered the future dream, he only had access to check the cultivation
techniques once.
Therefore, it was obvious which was more important.
After running for about an hour, he finally arrived at the familiar black stone tablet.
Yet just as he was about to step into the metal passageway, the narrator’s voice appeared in his mind:
[The moon has its phases and people have their sorrows and joys. Finally, this moment has arrived. I can’t help but think (after a slight pause, the BGM sounded): As time passed, some people left… 1 woke up from my dreams and realized that I was too naive in the past and reality is so cruel.]
He looked back and just as he thought, Blackie was coming from afar. Compared to the blood-colored eye he had encountered last time, the one-horned domain creature clearly could not last long against Blackie.
It was too late to run now because Blackie was too fast.
Looking at Blackie getting closer and closer, he took a deep breath and grabbed the little girl on his chest.
“Go!”
As he spoke, he threw the confused looking girl to Blackie.
-I’ll avenge you the next time I come back!” As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the metal passageway without looking back..
