Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 207 Active NG
Although he wasn't entirely sure if there was another four-star mutated creature in the town to the north, Li Wei still had to hunt.

Forests are where large wild animals live.

So he continued turning north without stopping, rushing into the woods ahead in one breath.

The moment Li Wei stepped into the woods, her heart settled down. Ah, the familiar surroundings were back.

It's worth mentioning that the noble armor he wore only provided good concealment in the mountains and forests at night; it was ineffective in broad daylight or in open environments.

Li Wei's hunter and woodcutter destinies are best suited to be displayed in the mountains and forests.

For example, at this moment, Li Wei felt that the air he was breathing was much sweeter. He placed his hand on a big tree and could immediately sense how many years it had grown and whether it was healthy.

"Hmm, not very healthy? A bit sickly!"

Li Wei frowned slightly. He sensed death in this seemingly lush forest. The trees looked alright, but they were like tuberculous ghosts whose bodies had been hollowed out, with weak life force. Even if these trees were cut down, they could only be used as ordinary timber, not even suitable for charcoal.

Therefore, it is conceivable that there would be no prey in this forest.

In fact, it was eerily quiet here. Not only were the wild grasses sparse, but there were also no birdsong, no insect chirping, and not even a single ant.

It was better at the edge of the woods, but it got worse as you went further in.

No, this place is not safe.

Li Wei decisively turned around, but at that moment, a strange cry suddenly rang out from the depths of the forest, followed by a series of rapid footsteps, as if an army was lying in ambush there!
What the hell!

Li Wei ran very fast. When he rushed out of the woods and looked back, he saw that twenty or thirty people had rushed out of the woods. There were men and women, old and young, but none of them were alive. Instead, their faces were ashen and their bodies were covered with gray moss, like giant fungi.

But what terrified Li Wei even more was that above their heads was a black spider the size of a human head, which, from a distance, looked like Third Brother wearing a black hat...

"Hah! Hah!"

These people kept making strange shouts, as if they were angry that Li Wei had interrupted their sweet dreams. Their angry and eerie eyes, angry roars, and agile figures showed no fear of the bright sunlight. They rushed out of the woods, and when they were only thirty meters away from Li Wei, there were whooshing sounds. The black spiders above their heads suddenly shot out like launchers.

Fortunately, Li Wei had anticipated this and quickly accelerated away. When he turned around, a series of hardwood arrows were already being fired.

"Puff puff!"

Three one-star hardwood arrows struck the three men's heads with precision, their power quite impressive, even managing to pierce their skulls, sending black, foul blood and some other dark tissue flying.

But it was all for naught; the three hardwood arrows only inflicted a little physical impact on them.

So we have to shoot the spider.

Li Wei took off running for a while, then turned around and shot an arrow, blasting a flying black spider to pieces in mid-air.

This was no challenge for him at all. He would draw an arrow, shoot it, shoot it again, draw it again, and after shooting three arrows, he would immediately turn around and run away. Once he was far away, he would turn back and shoot again.

They have truly mastered the kite-flying tactic to a certain level.

And this black spider was indeed the source. As soon as the spider died, the people below immediately collapsed to the ground, and with a bang, they exploded, leaving corpses and water everywhere.

Good grief, so these spiders are using these people as portable power banks?
The body fluids turned into electrolyte?
Li Wei was shocked. So how many more of these bizarre things are there in this world?

No wonder it's called a magical zombie.

Nothing much happened after that.

These mutated spiders that controlled human puppets didn't seem to have much intelligence; they just kept chasing and slashing, but Li Wei managed to kite them a few times before taking them all down.

It's very simple; it just means wasting twenty-eight one-star hardwood arrows.

You have destroyed the mutated spider swarm that was entrenched in the grove of trees northeast of the camp, and you have temporarily gained the opportunity to cut down trees in this area.

You have gained 25 family contribution points, bringing your total to 650.

[Friendly reminder: This forest will soon be taken over by other mutated creatures, so you cannot donate it to your family unless you completely control it.]

You have obtained 25 strands of one-star quality spider silk, each 30 meters long. You may be able to sell them to the native merchants, or you can sell them after returning to your base.

-

Seeing these three messages flash by, Li Wei couldn't be happy. Things were getting a little complicated because he was a bit hungry. He still had 150 stamina points left, which seemed safe, but he hadn't eaten breakfast that morning.

He came to hunt, hoping to catch deer, wild boar, or even pheasants.

It turns out that this forest was full of these things; everything edible must have been eaten by these mutated spider swarms.

I was careless.

Li Wei reflected and pondered in his heart, but did not step into that forest again. He did not want to attract the four-star mutated creatures in that town too early.

So—let's dig for wild vegetables first.

What's wrong? You, the rookie king, can't even eat wild vegetables? Li Wei immediately took off his noble crest armor, folded it up, put it in his bag and carried it. Then he took out his three-star dagger, found a place with fertile soil, squatted down, and started digging.

The soil in this world is so fertile that all kinds of wild vegetables are exceptionally large, plentiful, and dense. In just one hour, Li Wei dug up more than half a bag. He also took the opportunity to shoot three unfamiliar birds, catch twenty-seven grasshoppers, and two unlucky, plump groundhogs.

Good, good, lunch is ready.

Back at the camp, Li Wei donated all of these items and even received 5 contribution points.

There was no other way; there was no food storage at home, so even wild vegetables with grasshoppers or field mice with small birds could fetch the highest price.

Of course, Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue disdained to eat it. Li Wei had prepared wild vegetable and field mouse porridge, but they didn't even look at it. So, they only needed to wait until the mealtime was over, and these porridges would naturally end up in Li Wei's stomach.

For the next few days, Li Wei continued in this manner.

He digs wild vegetables during the day and hunts mutated rats at night. Although life is a bit hard, it is still quite enjoyable. As for Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue, he has not seen them for three days in a row and does not know where they have gone.
Li Wei was also helpless in this regard.

What could he do?

He even worried that Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue might have found a place with good feng shui to sever their own life force.

Indeed, the fact that the two of them are still alive is a huge deterrent to that four-star rat king.

But once they're gone, believe it or not, that four-star rat king would immediately emerge and wage a world war against Li Wei.
In short, Li Wei was very worried.

However, that evening, he saw Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue return, acting mysteriously, and he had a feeling that they had found a new path.
what is it then?

But it doesn't matter. As long as you're still alive, can help me restrain the four-star rat king, can hold out until the end-of-month summary, and can hold out until the new recruits arrive, that's fine.

However, the bad news came so quickly. The very next morning, just as Li Wei finished breakfast and was about to stretch, a message appeared silently.

[Family members Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue have not eaten a single bite of food or drunk a single drop of water in this world for the past twenty days. There is no magical radiation accumulated in their bodies, making them seem like pure, natural people. Now, they have been detected as abnormal by advanced ability users, which is a serious oversight. They will be forcibly eliminated within thirty minutes. After the end-of-month summary, four substitute players will join the current mission world.]

What the hell?

How could this NG be so serious? No way!
Li Wei's first thought was how could Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue have made such a mistake?

But he soon realized that the two of them had done it on purpose.

If they don't want to cut off their own career path and lose a professional card, then the best way is to trigger a serious NG and then be forced to settle the score.

day!
That's it, there are still ten days left until the end of the month, the four-star Rat King is definitely going to unleash its power.

At that moment, Li Wei didn't even bother to wear the noble crest armor; he grabbed a three-star warbow and a quiver and rushed out.

As soon as they crawled out of the small building on the third floor, they saw Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue coldly beheading the bull-headed superhuman in the south of the town.

As for Tom and the other cat-paw ability user, they are already dead; they were killed by them.

How could these three minor superhumans possibly be a match for the two of them?

Wait, how come these three guys would appear in broad daylight?

What do they have to do with the two people's serious NGs?
Li Wei jumped down the building and ran over in one breath. He still wanted to ask clearly: Did you have any last words?

"Second Aunt, you..."

Li Wei asked anxiously and absentmindedly. He knew what Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue wanted to see, and he would try his best to meet the needs of these beloved family members.

Filial piety and family affection are never just words.

But Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue saw through his plan, each staring coldly into the distance, not wanting to utter a single word.

It's okay, you see, we're all a loving family, right?

Without saying a word, Li Wei took out a large handful of standard gold coins and initiated a transaction with Liang Yuzhi.

The trade message read: "It's come to this, I've already lost. Without your restraint, I can't save my farmland, so please let me die happily, or sell me some food!"
But Liang Yuzhi directly refused.

I completely ignored him.

What were they working so hard to create this serious NG (non-compliment) for? They just wanted to see how miserably you, you little thief, would die!

Do you think I'm short of your 54 gold coins?
Pooh!
What the hell!

So Li Wei presented 54 gold coins and asked Li Yue for a deal, asking for nothing but a way to die knowing why.

This time, Li Yue agreed. Perhaps she truly hated Li Wei to the core and felt that it would be incomplete if Li Wei died knowing why.

Besides, it's nothing; they're practically quitting anyway.

So, she accepted 54 gold coins from Li Wei and casually activated a two-star conspiracy card.
