YM778.TV Chapter 145 Bat Cave
Ming finished washing up the following day and had a piece of bread and a coconut for breakfast. He also roasted a pigeon to feed Foodie when they went to the regional map later.
Alan was very generous, having sent over a dozen pigeons at once. Ming needed to find out where Alan had gotten them. With a few pigeons left, Ming built a nest using steel plates and wire mesh and started raising them for breeding and laying eggs for future meals.
[Global Broadcast: All survivors in districts 393, 529, 1045, and 2032 have been wiped out by the shared BOSS, and their communities have been automatically upgraded to individual random dungeons]
"Damn! That\'s brutal!"
"Thank God it\'s not our district."
"Yeah, if a shared BOSS can wipe out an entire district, it\'s potent. Now it\'s turned into a random dungeon; that\'s terrifying."
"Whoever enters that copy is as good as dead!"
"Who would dare enter individual random dungeons now?"
"..."
Ming put the frogs into his pocket and opened the random regional map. Today, he still chose to enter the level 10-20 area. For him, this area had a high cost-performance ratio, allowing him to quickly gain experience and resources, which was better than anything else.
After his last visit to Coconut Island, he realized that the strongest creature in the level 10-20 area was a one-star. Ming finished washing up the following day and had a piece of bread and a coconut for breakfast. He also roasted a pigeon to feed Foodie when they went to the regional map later.
After his last visit to Coconut Island, he realized that the one-star King level was the strongest creature in the level 10-20 area. As for higher-level regional maps, he would consider visiting them after reaching level 30.
He opened the screen and clicked on the regional teleport.
Buzz~
A beam of white light fell, and Ming felt his body become lighter, disappearing from his mountaintop home. The next moment, they were caught in a torrential downpour, and a man with two frogs became drenched...
He opened the screen and clicked on the regional teleport.
Buzz~
[Your frogs look at you, wondering why you left the comfort of home to venture out...]
[Your Foodie looks at the environment and suddenly gets excited. It wants to tell you that it had a dream last night, and today there will be snake meat to eat... So, it takes back its previous complaint... It\'s all Da Vinci\'s fault for being a bad education.]
[Your Da Vinci prepares to activate its Teaching Heart ability... brewing...]
"..."
Ming opened an umbrella to shield himself from the rain. The randomness of the regional map was truly unpredictable - it was sunny at home but rainy here. Observing the surrounding environment, he stood in a forest with tall, straight trees, their leaves resembling needles.
Pine trees?
Rain!
He prayed that there would be no lightning.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning struck not far away...
"According to probability, subsequent lightning strikes shouldn\'t hit the same spot, right?"
Ming continued walking forward, and indeed, no more lightning struck nearby. He stopped and noticed a giant black snake lying at the spot where the lightning had hit earlier. Upon closer inspection... the snake had been killed by the lightning strike!
Ming smiled. It seemed they were welcomed with food upon arrival. This auspicious event hinted at a good day ahead.
Most importantly, Foodie\'s dreams were getting more interesting. Ming patted Foodie\'s head, "Sleep well and have nice dreams. When you wake up, there will be snake meat to eat."
[Your Foodie feels your touch and thinks it\'s better to eat first and then sleep, making its dreams even sweeter...]
[Da Vinci believes they should find a place to shelter from the rain first... otherwise, the next victim of a lightning strike might be us, the greediest one...]
"..."
Ming immediately looked around, recalling that Da Vinci\'s words could be very come true, so he decided not to take any chances. After all, what was the difference between lightning striking Foodie and himself?
At that moment, he spotted a cave at the foot of a nearby mountain. He quickly ran towards it, but because he moved too fast, the wind from his running turned the umbrella inside out.
He had been careless and forgotten that his agility was relatively high, and running at full speed was like sprinting a hundred meters.
Upon entering the cave, he found it to be dry inside. A glance revealed the cave was about 10 meters high and 15 meters wide. However, the cave was quite deep, and he couldn\'t make out the furthest depths, even with his ability to see in the dark. Since they were only sheltering from the rain near the entrance, he needed to pay more attention.
He threw a few spike cards into the cave, planning to retrieve them later when the rain stopped. Then he found a flat boulder to sit on.
Ming let the frogs out to play and explore while he fixed the umbrella. He then pulled out a wooden board to set up a bonfire and dry his clothes. He also skinned and cleaned a piece of snake meat, placing it to roast.
[Your frog kids lay at the cave entrance, looking out at the rain-soaked forest, feeling bored... They then turned around, hopped a short distance into the cave, and stopped not far from you to observe the interior...]
[Da Vinci bumped Foodie and asked it to venture further into the cave... Foodie stepped back, afraid of the dark, not daring to go in... Da Vinci looked down on Foodie... but also took a step back]
"They are brothers."
Ming glanced back at the frogs and then deeper into the cave, spotting a bat hanging from the ceiling.
"Bats should be living in groups, right?"
Ming furrowed his brow and placed his crossbow by his side, knowing it was best to be cautious in the wild. He then looked out at the forest and noticed some trees that were noticeably different from the others, with very straight trunks.
He used[Eagle Eye]to inspect them:[Ironwood]
"I will get rich!!!!"
Ming was excited to see several Ironwood trees nearby, estimating their weight to be around a thousand or more pounds. Last time, he found spirit stones on the volcanic island, and now there were Ironwood trees in this forest. The wilderness, indeed, was a treasure trove.
[Foodie looked up at the cave ceiling and nudged Da Vinci. Look, there\'s a guy up there with a sneaky and suspicious appearance; not a good creature...]
[Da Vinci patted Foodie. We\'re seeking shelter in his home; he was the host, and we\'re the guests. It would be best if you were polite... Bats all look like this, you know. Don\'t let him think you\'re inexperienced...]
[Foodie glanced at the bat and croaked an apology. I\'m sorry; I shouldn\'t have talked about you before you. Please forgive me... Come down and make friends, let\'s play together...]
"..."
Ming stood up, picked up the two frogs, and used[Eagle Eye]to examine the bat. Discovering it was an ordinary, non-mutated bat, he returned to the bonfire and placed the frogs on his lap.
The bacteria and viruses on the bat were even more numerous than those on the snail at home. This friendship was not worth pursuing; it was best to leave each other alone.
[Foodie saw the bat fly away... It felt like it must have hurt the bat\'s pride just now... It found being an honest frog kid difficult...]
[Foodie saw you pick up the cooked snake meat and instantly forgot about the previous incident...]
[Da Vinci looked at the snake meat, also wanting to eat... Seeing your curious gaze, it felt like nothing was strange. After all, frogs and snakes are natural enemies... Eating it is the right thing to do.]
