Night Falls: I Kill Through the Wasteland with My Entries

Chapter 3 Mine No.
The Wind Listener is arguably the most notorious monster around here.

This monster has thousands of ears all over its body and is extremely sensitive to sounds. Any slight sound will attract it.

Moreover, this monster is extremely powerful.

Previously, several armies from the city came to this wilderness. Because one person snored while camping, the entire army was killed by this monster.

Cold sweat broke out on Su Ding's forehead, and his eyes rolled around as he looked at other people.

At this time, it is not enough for you to just keep quiet, but others must also keep quiet!

As long as one of them makes a sound and attracts the monster, none of them will survive!
The others also thought of this at this time and looked at the people around them, fearing that there were idiots in the team who would kill them all.

A solemn atmosphere enveloped the team.

Fortunately, Zhang Kun is an old scavenger, and he carefully selected the team members, so there is no one who is hopelessly stupid.

For a moment, everyone stood still like sculptures.

In order to reduce noise, they even breathed softly and didn't dare to breathe heavily.

The field fell silent.

"Rustle..." The wind-listener stayed where he was, and the layers of ears on his body were shaking like waves.

A fishy smell emanated from it.

The axe in its hand rubbed against the ground, creating a burst of sparks and making everyone feel as if a huge rock was pressing down on their hearts.

If you get hit by this axe, you'll probably be split in half!

After a long time, the listener turned around and slowly left.

It took a long time before everyone dared to move.

But when they were about to leave, Su Ding immediately made a gesture to keep quiet.

When everyone saw this, although they didn't understand why he did this, they just stood still.

Then they found that Su Ding was staring in one direction, so they followed Su Ding's gaze and found some clues.

On the second floor of the shopping mall, there was a figure in the shadows.

The figure was very blurry, and if it hadn't moved occasionally, they wouldn't have been able to spot it at all.

Looking closely, everyone was sweating coldly.

In that shadow, it looked like some insects were wriggling.

The wriggling appearance is exactly the same as the ears on the wind-listener.

This person who listened to the wind clearly did not leave!

If they had made any move just now, they would have probably attracted the eavesdropper, and the consequences would have been disastrous.

Zhang Kun swallowed and looked at Su Ding again.

This newcomer seems to be a little unusual.

He was the first one to discover the Wind Listener, and now he is also the one who discovered that the Wind Listener has not left.

This cannot be explained by coincidence.

After a long while, the shadow of the second floor of the shopping mall disappeared, and everyone tiptoed away.

After walking a long way, a group of people fell to the ground.

"Fortunately... Fortunately, Su Ding, you saw that thing, otherwise we would not even know how we died." Xu Hu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

The others looked at Su Ding with gratitude in their eyes.

"I'm glad everyone is okay." Su Ding shook his head, his face looking a little pale.

Just now he discovered the listener, and he was mainly sensitive to the axe in the listener's hand.

If he wasn't afraid that the Wind Eavesdropper would chop him to death, he would have the urge to run over and grab the axe.

It is obvious that the material of the axe is not ordinary metal.

Otherwise, his explorer entry wouldn't have such a greedy heart.

It can be said that he was the one who suffered the most on the scene just now.

"I still have to pay attention to the side effects when using this term in the future." Su Ding breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he felt a little frightened again.

Could it be that this person who listened to the wind was intelligent or something? When the other party went up to the second floor, he didn't even hear the sound of the axe dragging the floor.

If it weren't for the ability of the explorer's entry, they would have really died here.

"This wilderness is really dangerous." Su Ding felt a chill in his heart.

No wonder there are so many people in the camp, and few dare to come out to scavenge at dawn.

"Okay, now is not the time to chat. We will arrive at the No. 5 mining area in half an hour." Zhang Kun waved his hand and interrupted their conversation.

The group of people immediately fell silent and continued on their way.

"A reminder to you all: if you see a black crystal, don't rush over. If it's not daylight, the black crystal could be a black beast.

If you encounter the black beast, you will die." Zhang Kun explained as he walked.

This black beast is an extremely common monster in the wilderness.

This monster takes the form of various wild beasts in the dark night, perhaps a wolf or a tiger.

Powerful and hard all over.

Any ordinary person who encounters it is doomed. However, this monster also has weaknesses.

One is that its sixth sense is weak, and it will not be able to detect people around it unless you get close to it.

Another thing is that after leaving the dark night time, the black beasts will gradually degenerate into black crystals.

When daylight comes, the black crystals exposed to the sun will disappear.

Until the next dark night comes and a new black beast is born.

Now, although it is already dawn and the black beast has begun to degenerate, it is not impossible to encounter it.

Therefore, you need to be cautious when looking for black crystals.

"When the time comes, I will find black crystals that are not problematic and will let you collect them. Don't act on your own." Zhang Kun said in a deep voice.

"Understood." Everyone nodded with a heavy expression.

They understand that now is the most dangerous time.

Then, the group continued on their way.

On the way, they also saw other groups of scavengers, but they all tacitly kept their distance from each other.

"I heard that monsters in the wilderness are not scary, but the human heart is. Some people here are willing to take risks for the black crystal." Xu Hu couldn't help but say.

"Ah? They would kill for Black Crystal?" Monkey said in astonishment.

"What else do you think?" Zhang Kun glanced at the monkey and said calmly, "Go dig it yourself. How can it be safer than stealing it from someone else?"

"Will we be in danger?" Xiong Qian asked worriedly.

"No." Zhang Kun waved his hand and said, "I chose Mine No. 5, and it's in a remote place. There are few people there, so you don't have to worry about anyone robbing us."

Su Ding looked at Zhang Kun without any fluctuation in his eyes.

There are still quite a lot of scavengers, and some of them charge a lower price than Zhang Kun, or even don’t accept black crystals.

But he still chose Zhang Kun.

One reason was that Zhang Kun came from a long-established scavenging team and was quite familiar with the wilderness. Another reason was that he had a good reputation in the area and had never done anything shady.

Now that I see that the other party is experienced in doing things, I didn’t choose the wrong person.

"I understand, Brother Zhang, we will all listen to you." Xu Hu said with a smile.

Xiong Qian, Li Jingan and others nodded.

It wasn't long before the group arrived at the mining area.

Mining Area No. 5 appeared somewhat dark in the dim light, with some mounds of earth standing tall and some black crystals flickering on the gray mounds.

The piles of earth look a bit sparse, and are very few compared to other mining areas.

"That one, and that one, don't go over there. The others, you have to be careful. Also, stay within 50 meters around me, don't go far away from me." After arriving at the place, Zhang Kun began to command everyone.

"This..." Everyone was a little frightened when they heard it.

Although they are now closer to the black crystal, they also know that this is the most dangerous level.

"Um...Brother Zhang, aren't you going with us?" Xu Hu asked weakly.

Everyone else looked at Zhang Kun.

"I'm not going." Zhang Kun said lightly.

Su Ding naturally understood Zhang Kun's intention.

The other party only needs to take a share of the profits now, so why take the risk?

This is understandable.

If he were in the other person's position, he would probably do the same.

Then, Su Ding looked around.

There are only five black crystal piles within a radius of fifty meters.

These piles of earth look no different from each other.

However, when he perceived the minerals through the prospector's entries, he found that he had no sensitivity to the two that Zhang Kun pointed out.

It was as if there was no ore at all.

But the other three made him feel greedy.

"It really works." Su Ding breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy.

When he met the Wind Listener before, he was inspired by the greed for minerals carried in the entry.

He felt that he might be able to distinguish between the black crystal and the black beast.

Now it seems that it is possible.

Then, without hesitation, he picked up the crowbar and walked towards a pile of black crystals next to him.

His behavior immediately attracted Zhang Kun's attention.

"This kid..." Zhang Kun looked at Su Ding with a frown slightly.

He had seen the other party detect the Wind Eavesdropper twice before and thought that the other party was a good one.

I didn't expect that the other party would be so naive.

He didn't say there was anything wrong with these three, so the other party believed it.
It seems that I need to mention this later.
