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

Cockroaches are social animals.

If it has companions, they will likely come looking for it at night.

"Liu Yun can handle one, but what if there are a dozen or dozens?" The firelight illuminated Xu Qingran's cold and stern face.

"My fire skills are at the beginner level."

"At most, you can summon one ball of fire at a time. The limit is five times in a row. After five times, your mental energy will be exhausted, and you won't even be able to stand up."

If it's four or five, I can barely handle it. But if it's a dozen or even a hundred..."

Liu Yun didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood.

The dry branches in the fire crackled with a crisp sound, sending sparks flying into the air before quickly extinguishing the flames.

Qin Wan hugged her arms tightly.

She recalled the image of the cockroach lunging at her earlier.

If a dozen, or even a hundred, come...

Just thinking about it made her tremble with fear.

Ye Xiao put his arm around her shoulder, signaling her not to be afraid.

This world is no longer the same world.

Everything that seemed insignificant before can become a deadly monster here.

This is the rule by which the world works.

In this world, humans are no longer at the top of the food chain.

Instead, they became prey.

Only by becoming stronger can we survive.

He remembered the five skill books that the system had previously rewarded him with.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the system's inventory.

Five orbs of light floated quietly in the darkness, like five stars of different colors, each emitting a faint light at a different frequency.

He reached out and opened the first book, the red one.

[Skill Book: Thunderfire Burst Bullet (Rank B)]

[Description: This energy projectile combines the elements of lightning and fire, forming a high-speed spinning ball. Upon impact, it explodes violently, dealing mixed lightning and fire damage to enemies within a 5-meter radius, and inflicting paralysis (2 seconds) and burn (6 seconds) effects. It can be charged; charging increases its power by 50% and expands the blast radius to 8 meters. Cooldown: 20 seconds.]

Ye Xiao's breath hitched slightly.

Grade B, with both lightning and fire attributes, deals area damage, has crowd control abilities, and can be charged.

This isn't the rudimentary flame Liu Yun possessed; this is a true battlefield weapon.

His consciousness touched the red light, and the skill book transformed into a streak of crimson-gold light, disappearing into his brow.

A surge of scorching, electrifying energy flowed into my forehead and rushed along my meridians to my right hand.

In his right palm, thunder and fire intertwined, crackling and popping, as if he were holding a small sun that could explode at any moment.

He instinctively clenched his fist, and the power subsided, lying dormant in his veins, waiting to be summoned.

The second one, the blue one.

[Skill Book: Absolute Zero Grip (Grade B)]

[Description: Releases extremely cold energy from the palm, inflicting a deep freeze effect on targets touched. Can project frost energy remotely, creating a 4-meter diameter ice field at a designated location. Enemies within the field have their movement speed reduced by 60% and have a 20% chance to be completely frozen for 3 seconds. The ice field lasts for 8 seconds. Cooldown: 25 seconds.]

It's a B grade again.

Without hesitation, Ye Xiao touched his forehead with his consciousness, and the blue orb of light entered his brow.

This time, icy energy surged into his left hand.

He could feel that every finger on his left hand was being injected with liquid nitrogen, and the fingertips were glowing with a faint blue light.

His right hand is lightning and fire, and his left hand is extreme cold.

They possess both ice and fire skills, and both are B-level.

The third one, the yellow one.

[Skill Book: Basic Hardening (Rank F)]

[Description: Forms a hard, thin film on the localized skin surface, slightly enhancing physical defense.]

The fourth one, the green one.

[Skill Book: Basic Healing (Rank F)]

[Description: Releases a small amount of healing energy, which can accelerate the healing of minor wounds.]

He opened the last book.

[Skill Book: Basic Stealth (Rank F)]

[Description: The sound decreases slightly when moving and blends slightly into the surrounding environment when completely still.]

With two B-grade books, three F-grade books, and his own S-grade talent [Limitless Energy], he is now terrifyingly powerful.

Even if hundreds of them came, he wouldn't be afraid.

……

"You guys get in the car and rest first. I'll keep watch tonight." Ye Xiao's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable certainty.

"Are you sure you can manage on your own?" Xu Qingran stood up, brushed the grass clippings off her sweatpants, and looked at Ye Xiao's face.

"Okay," Ye Xiao said, uttering a single word.

Xu Qingran stared at him for two seconds, then looked away, opened the car door, bent down, and got in.

Liu Yun walked over to Ye Xiao and lowered her voice: "Call me if there's a problem."

Ye Xiao nodded.

Lin Wanqing held the hem of her floral dress, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Be careful."

Qin Wan originally wanted to stay with Ye Xiao, but at Ye Xiao's insistence, she went to rest in the car as well.

For him, dealing with these monsters alone would be easier, at least without any worries about the consequences.

As night deepened, the women in the car could no longer stay awake and all drifted off to sleep.

......

In a sudden moment, Ye Xiao opened his eyes, which had been feigning sleep.

In the darkness, countless green lights appeared, reflecting a faint green light under the moonlight, like a moving sea of ​​stars.

The first cockroach darted out of the bushes. It was nearly a meter long, with a grayish-brown carapace. Its six legs moved rapidly, and its mandibles opened as it bit at Ye Xiao's calf.

Ye Xiao waved his right hand, and a Thunderflame Burst Bullet flew out of his hand.

The crimson-gold orb traced an arc in the air and struck the cockroach precisely on the head.

boom--!

Thunder and fire exploded simultaneously. The carapace shattered instantly under the double blow of high temperature and lightning. The green fluid evaporated into white mist, and the shock wave of the explosion blew away all the dead branches and fallen leaves within a few meters.

The cockroach didn't even have time to hiss before it was blown to pieces.

But even more cockroaches emerged from the darkness.

They rushed in from all directions, their compound eyes flashing in the firelight, their mandibles opening and closing with a clicking sound.

Ye Xiao raised his left hand, forming an Absolute Zero Grip.

A ball of icy blue energy shot out from his palm, landing on the ground in front of him and exploding into an ice-bound area with a diameter of four meters.

Three cockroaches rushed into the area, their speed instantly dropping by 60%, their once agile crawling turning into clumsy wriggling, their six legs slipping on the ice.

One of them was completely frozen for 3 seconds, standing motionless like an ice sculpture.

Ye Xiao didn't waste the opportunity and threw out two Thunderflame Burst Bullets in quick succession with his right hand.

One shot hit the cockroaches inside the frozen area, and another hit the two that pounced from the left.

Boom! Boom!

The flashes of light from the explosions alternated in the darkness, illuminating the open space as if it were daytime.

But there were too many cockroaches.

They seemed endless, pouring out from every crevice of the dense forest.

Ye Xiao killed one batch, and another batch came, one after another, as if attracted by some pheromones, rushing madly towards the bonfire and the car.

Ye Xiao's breathing remained unchanged.

His boundless energy means he never feels tired.
