"Basic...capsule construction?"

Looking at the blue capsule-shaped object floating quietly in his hand, Wang Yan looked at it from left to right, but couldn't figure out what it was all about.

This was a novelty item he obtained while drawing cards. Since he didn't know what it was for or what the explanation was, Wang Yan temporarily put it in the warehouse. It was only because he was a little bored tonight that he remembered he had this thing and took it out to take a look.

You Li, carrying a gleaming silver iron spear, had the orange-red flames of the crackling campfire reflecting on her face. She glanced at Wang Yan indifferently and said:

"Can't sleep again?"

At this point, Wang Yan was both amused and exasperated. It wasn't because Yingluo was too hot this time, but because ever since they kissed, this big fox seemed to be addicted, wanting to hug and kiss him every night. A few times was fine, but she did it every day!

Moreover, this guy seemed completely unaware of how attractive his body was, and without any regard for anything else, he wrapped his arms around Wang Yan's neck and started kissing him. Wang Yan wasn't exactly a saint with perfect self-control; if he weren't dragged to "pay his dues" by Zhuo Hua every day, he probably wouldn't even be able to control himself.

It was only because he was so bothered by Yingluo, that silly fox, that Wang Yan decided to come out for some fresh air and spend some time with Youli.

Wang Yan was certain that the capsule in front of him was a special item exclusive to the system. After looking around but finding nothing, he had no choice but to raise his hand and gently touch the capsule.

As a result, the moment his fingers touched the capsule, an extremely pure stream of knowledge flowed directly into Wang Yan's brain. As if enlightened, Wang Yan instantly understood some basic architectural knowledge, just as if he were already a skilled construction worker, having a thorough understanding.

"This...this is..."

As the capsule gradually dissipated, knowledge flowed into his mind. Wang Yan finally understood that the so-called knowledge capsule was actually to provide corresponding knowledge and experience. He was overjoyed. He had been worried about what to do if he didn't know how to build a wall, even with red bricks and cement. This solved the problem directly.

Seeing Wang Yan's increasingly interesting expression, You Li's usually cold face suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

What is he doing? Why is he sitting here all by himself, suddenly grinning like an idiot?

Before she could ask any more questions, a putrid stench instantly filled the air. Wang Yan was immediately overwhelmed by the stench and realized what was about to happen. He quickly took a few steps back. You Li's expression turned cold, her dark green scales gleaming with a cold light. She suddenly stood up, her white iron spear flashing in her hand, staring intently at the cliff, preparing to deal with the impending threat.

"Coo coo coo..."

"Shell..."

It sounded like something was constantly banging on something, followed by an increasingly strong stench of decay. This smell was several times more disgusting than the one Wang Yan had smelled before, and it almost made him vomit for a moment.

You Li's hand, gripping the spear tightly, turned slightly white. She knew very well what this increasingly putrid stench meant.

A pale, giant hand, as if it had been dead for days, slowly emerged from the cliff face. The giant hand, covered in lividity, gripped the crack in the rock, creating a tiny fissure. Then, a disheveled "giant" climbed up from the bottom of the cliff.

It was a full two and a half meters tall, with a head of dry, gray hair that was disheveled and tangled. Its limbs were unusually long, and its body was sickly thin, like a skeleton wrapped in a skin. Its whole body was as pale as a corpse, and you could even vaguely see some lividity. What was most repulsive was its face, which was five-tenths similar to a human face, but its lips were strangely protruding, revealing a mouthful of jagged fangs.

It looks like a dog's face.

The giant kobold made a "clattering" sound as it crawled on all fours, with two smaller kobolds beside it. Unlike the two smaller kobolds, it didn't bark and howl at You Li like it did. Instead, it kept pacing around in place with its back arched, all fours on the ground.

You Li took a deep breath, cleared her mind, and focused intently on the three strange beasts in front of her. Then she took the lead and attacked, like a dark green lightning bolt wrapped in silver light in the pitch-black night.

Fortunately, with the pure iron spear given to her by Wang Yan, You Li was not lacking in combat experience. She was very strong; all she lacked was a suitable weapon. Even when facing such a huge kobold, You Li was somewhat flustered, but she was still able to handle it.

With a few thrusts, the three ugly monsters were instantly riddled with holes, then their long legs were raised high, and with a powerful kick, they were sent tumbling off the cliff. The flesh of these strange beasts is inedible; they contain potent toxins, and if their corpses are left to rot, they will form a poisonous miasma within a day, so they need to be disposed of as soon as possible.

After witnessing this scene at the cave entrance, Wang Yan quickly got up and rushed over. Without waiting for You Li's consent, he lifted her hands to examine them and found that they were indeed trembling slightly.

Wang Yan initially wanted to reprimand her, but seeing You Li's cold and stern face, he could only sigh and ask:

"This monster must not be the first time it's appeared today, right?"

You Li's hand was grabbed by Wang Yan, and a light blush crept onto her cheeks. Then, a soft "hmm" escaped from her nose.

"It started three days ago, but recently, I don't know what happened, the beasts at night seem to have become more ferocious and harder to deal with."

Why didn't you call for help?

"I can handle it myself."

Feeling the slight trembling in his palms, Wang Yan suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this girl. It was as if she was a bit withdrawn. She herself said that the situation at night had been going on for several days. She should have told him about this a long time ago, but You Li hadn't mentioned a word about it. If he hadn't come out tonight to get some fresh air, Wang Yan didn't know how long she would have kept it a secret.

"Youli, I know you're not talkative and have a cold personality, but I also know you're a very, very sensible girl. When something happens, you shouldn't keep it to yourself and bear it alone. We're family, of course we should face it together, right?"

You Li pursed her lips, but ultimately said nothing. She could only nod slightly.

[You Li's favorability +5]

Wang Yan looked at the pop-up window in front of him and smiled slightly. Although he didn't expect You Li to listen to everything at once, he was just glad that she could remember what he said.

Tonight's events really served as a wake-up call for Wang Yan. It seems it's time to take some defensive measures. Who knows if these damned beasts will increase in number? He doesn't want to see You Li get hurt because of her recklessness.
