Many children, many blessings; leading female trainees in wilderness survival.

Ye Xiao didn't finish until the sun was setting.

A system notification sounded in my ear—

[In-depth discussion completed. Participants: Lin Wanqing, Xu Qingran.]

Lin Wanqing received: 10 instant noodles per day.

Xu Qingran received: 2 Body Enhancement Potions, 1 can of beer, and 1 jin of spicy crayfish.

[The 10,000-fold return is being settled...]

[Congratulations, host, you have received: 1000 instant noodles, 100 body enhancement potions, 1000 cans of beer, and 100 jin of crayfish.]

Ye Xiao glanced at the two people lying on his side.

Lin Wanqing curled up on the grass, her maid outfit crumpled up.

Xu Qingran lay on her back, her black, high-slit cheongsam spread out beneath her like a withered flower.

He remarked on how quickly time had passed.

I spent the morning hanging out with Qin Wan, and the afternoon was spent battling the two of them.

From dawn to dusk, three in a single day.

He turned his gaze back to the sky, where the sunset illuminated the forest beautifully, its orange-red light spreading across the clearing and the clouds burning a deep purple-red, as if someone had splashed a whole bucket of paint on the heavens.

But Ye Xiao knew that this was all an illusion; the more beautiful a place was, the greater the danger it concealed.

He stood up from the ground, brushed the grass off his clothes, opened his system inventory, and took out a set of blueprints for building a brick house.

The moment consciousness touched it, the blueprint transformed into a beam of earthy yellow light and landed on the open ground in front of them.

After the light faded, a brick-red house appeared there, square and with thick walls.

He walked over and pushed open the door; there were three rooms inside.

Ye Xiao assigned the rooms.

Qin Wan and Liu Yun shared a room, Lin Wanqing and Xu Qingran shared a room, and he himself lived in the master bedroom.

……

into the night.

The monster's roar came from deep within the dense forest.

Ye Xiao stood by the window, without lighting a lamp, as the light would reveal his location.

Although a house can withstand attacks, there's no need to actively attract attention.

His eyes had adapted to the darkness, and his passive low-light vision allowed him to see things in the distance even under such lighting conditions.

He saw it.

At the edge of the dense forest, the treetops were shaking violently; something large was crashing into the trees.

A small tree, about the size of a bowl, broke off at the base and fell with a dull, heavy thud, kicking up a cloud of dust as it hit the ground.

Then the thing poked half its body out from the bushes.

It was a giant, mutated ape monster.

Its body was covered with messy, dark, coarse hair. It was several times larger than an ordinary gorilla, with a hunched back and long arms hanging down almost to the ground. Its sharp, black claws were bent and twisted.

The face is grotesque and deformed, with sunken eye sockets.

Its dark red pupils were particularly glaring in the night, and it grinned with a mouth full of sharp teeth, constantly emitting low and violent roars.

Ye Xiao stood by the window,

His hands hung at his sides, and the Thunderfire Burst Bullet in his right palm was already charging up.

On the palm of his left hand, a deep blue frost, the Absolute Zero Grip, condensed between his fingers, causing the surrounding air temperature to drop several degrees.

The monster took a few more steps forward.

It walked to the edge of the open space and stopped, its dark red pupils fixed on the thing that had suddenly appeared.

It uses its animal instincts to assess whether the square object in front of it is prey, a predator, or simply an obstacle.

Ye Xiao looked at it, calculating the distance in his mind.

It is now about 30 meters away from the house. The effective range of the Thunderflame Burst Bomb is sufficient, but it is uncertain whether the brick walls can withstand its impact.

The monster took a few more steps forward, about twenty meters.

Only then did Ye Xiao see its full appearance.

He was nearly three meters tall with a wingspan of at least four meters, and his chest muscles resembled stones soaked in water.

Ye Xiao didn't know how long this thing had lived in this world, but today was definitely its death day.

He raised his hand and stretched it out of the window. A crimson-gold orb of light slowly appeared in his palm, and its dazzling light instantly tore through the dark night, illuminating the entire open woodland.

The giant ape's scarlet pupils suddenly contracted.

The beast's instincts outpaced its thought process; its massive, clumsy body suddenly dodged sideways, its speed completely disproportionate to its size.

But Ye Xiao didn't even aim at its body.

Its target is the ground beneath its feet.

The Thunderfire Burst Bullet whistled through the air, tracing a graceful arc before striking the monster precisely half a meter in front of it.

boom--!

Thunder and fire erupted simultaneously, sending dirt and rocks flying everywhere by the powerful shockwave, all crashing down on the giant ape.

The raging flames licked its lower limbs, instantly igniting its long, black fur, which sizzled and crackled as it burned.

The monster let out a furious roar.

Ye Xiao gave it no chance to catch its breath, and reached out with his left hand again.

The power of absolute zero poured out, and the icy blue energy exploded upon landing, instantly spreading out a frozen domain with a diameter of four meters.

Just as the giant ape regained its footing, its feet suddenly became slippery and icy, causing it to lose its balance and fall heavily to its knees.

Seeing its pathetic kneeling state, Ye Xiao's lips curled into a mocking smile, and he casually uttered a sarcastic remark:

"Big guy, you're really ugly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second Thunderflame Burst Bullet, fully charged, was already in place.

The sphere of light doubled in size from the size of a fist, its golden-red light dazzling, and lightning and flames surged and raged wildly on its surface.

He precisely locked onto the monster's lowered head.

The giant ape was instantly gripped by the threat of death. It struggled frantically on the ice, its sharp claws digging deep into the ice and embedding themselves firmly in the frozen soil. In just two seconds, it struggled to its feet.

The speed was much faster than Ye Xiao had predicted.

Two seconds is enough to be fatal.

The fully charged Thunderfire Burst Bullet was released again, its fiery tail slicing through the night sky before slamming into the giant ape's chest.

boom--!

A sea of ​​fire exploded with a deafening roar, and violent lightning swept across his body, crackling and popping continuously.

The behemoth was violently thrown to the ground by the powerful shockwave, its chest blasted into a black crater, large patches of black fur burned away, revealing charred, cracked flesh and outward-facing muscles.

It did not die.

The excruciating pain and injury only further enraged the mutated monster.

His scarlet pupils suddenly dilated, and a strange, eerie red light appeared in his eyes.

Ye Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.

The monster opened its huge mouth and let out a piercing roar.

The muscles begin to swell.

The muscle fibers at the edge of the wound grew wildly, as if they were alive.

Is it entering a berserk state?

Ye Xiao dared not underestimate his opponent and began to take the situation seriously.

The mutated giant ape slammed its hind legs against the ground.

The three-meter-tall body shot out like a cannonball, so fast that Ye Xiao's Thunderflame Burst Bomb didn't even have time to charge up.

It covered a distance of twenty meters in just one second.

Its massive body crashed into the brick wall with a deafening roar.

boom!

The wall shook violently.

The monster was bounced back by the recoil, rolled twice on the ground, and then stood up again.

It shook its enormous head, its dark red pupils staring at the wall as if recalculating.

Ye Xiao did not give it a second chance.

He condensed an extremely thin, rapidly rotating line of water in his palm.

This is a B-rank skill: Water Elemental Power.

High-pressure water jet,

The power depends on the caster's mental control and the water pressure.

After receiving the body enhancement potion as a reward from the system, he drank five vials in one go.

This enhancer, which is extremely precious to others, is as commonplace to him as drinking water.

At this moment, Ye Xiao's mental strength, enhanced by the combined effects of five strengthening potions, had far surpassed that of ordinary people.

He compressed the water pressure to its limit, making the water line as thin as a hair.

The monster had just gotten up from the ground when its dark red pupils caught sight of the inconspicuous white line on Ye Xiao's left palm.

It dismisses it as a trivial skill.

Then it launched another attack. It charged forward fiercely.

Ten meters. Eight meters. Six meters. Four meters.

Ye Xiao waved his left hand.

The high-pressure water blade was released and sliced ​​through the air at a terrifying speed.

The monster charged halfway before its head separated from its body.

Then it crashed to the ground, completely lifeless, and a treasure chest shimmering with purple light slowly emerged.
