"Ningbao, what are you daydreaming about?"

Wenya had already unleashed a barrage of ranged skills, but visibly, they were largely ineffective. The thing attacking them looked somewhat like a stick insect. But what insect grows to be over ten meters long?! And this thing was covered in countless tiny, wriggling bumps—it was enough to trigger trypophobia in anyone looking at it.

Wenya's melee ability is much stronger than her ranged attack. The reason she dared not get close was because when she threw the wind blade, it cut open the small bumps on the insect's body, and black pus flowed out, corroding the surrounding grass.

No wonder it's called a world of ghosts and monsters, there really are monsters!

"Ningbao, Ningbao can't use a sword anymore!"

Ningbao had already put away her little wooden sword and was about to rush forward, brandishing her tiny paws, to fight the insect. Although the sword was unusable, she believed she was still very strong; she had teeth and claws now!

"You're back? Didn't you see the grass around you?"

Wenya snatched the husky back with one paw. She didn't deny that Ningbao was indeed strong, but with Ningbao's teeth as a puppy, it would probably have trouble tearing a piece of meat, let alone a big worm.

"Run!"

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, so Wenya ran while throwing skills at the back.

Based on Bai Gao's previous explanation, the reason they're being attacked now is definitely because they violated some rules. Without knowing anything, it's best not to fight head-on. Right now, they can definitely defeat one if it really comes down to it, but what if a whole group comes?

If you just stay in the same spot and keep fighting, you might keep breaking the rules you broke before. Regardless of whether the change is right or wrong, change it first. If things get worse, then you'll just have to accept your bad luck.

Bai Gao stayed atop Wen Ya's head the whole time, so there was no risk of her not being able to catch up. But Ning Bao had short legs, and no matter how hard she tried to move her four short legs, she simply couldn't keep up with Wen Ya's speed.

Ningbao was just about to bark twice to remind Wenya that he'd fallen behind when he tripped over a pebbly stone and rolled forward like a fur ball, even overtaking Wenya in no time.

Wen Ya was just about to ask Ning Bao if she could catch up and if she wanted to ride on her back when she saw a black, white and gray dumpling roll past her and head straight into a river ahead.

Wenya: !!!

"Ningbao!"

Wenya tried to block, but she couldn't keep up with the speed. Her ranged skills only included attack skills, not blocking skills, so besides being anxious, there didn't seem to be much she could do.

"Ningbao is alright."

Ningbao fell into the water with a splash, swallowing a mouthful of water, but quickly paddled to the surface with the help of her four short-legged dogs, coughing as she looked back at Wenya.

Wen Ya was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when a huge dark shadow approached Ning Bao from behind, while Ning Bao was still coughing.

Suddenly, the creature popped its head out from underwater, its gaping maw seemingly ready to swallow Ningbao, the little ball of flesh, whole. Wenya had already reached the riverbank. With a powerful leap, she slammed her front paws onto the creature's head, then grabbed Ningbao and used the momentum to jump to the other side of the river.

Fortunately, the river wasn't very wide for Wenya's size. And since the thing in the water didn't come ashore, it probably couldn't get up. The large insect on the other side stopped as soon as it saw the water, seemingly terrified of it.

Wenya put the wet Ningbao on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bai Gao, Bai Gao, does this mean Ning Bao knows two rules?"

Despite choking on water and being chased by two monsters, Ningbao was still in good spirits. The first thing she did was point with her little paw at the two monsters that had just disappeared.

"No, it's incomplete. Ning Bao, you don't even know why they're chasing you down."

Bai Gao shook his head.

"Oh? That's so difficult."

Ningbao lowered her head in disappointment. She couldn't use a sword, and she didn't have Mumu. This world was so hard.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~"

Bai Gao and Ning Bao, the two little dumplings, turned to look at Wen Ya at the same time.

"What? Isn't it normal to be hungry?"

Wenya covered her stomach with her paws:

"Ningbao, didn't Mumu prepare a lot of delicious food? Let's eat first. People need food to survive, otherwise you'll get hungry."

"Okay~"

Ningbao had no objection to the suggestion and unhesitatingly brought out a huge pile of delicious food, all prepared in advance by Mumu. The only problem was that all the dishes were cold. But there was nothing she could do; there was no way to heat them up here.

However, for the cat, wolf, and dog who had just been chased by monsters and were starving, Mumu's cooking was so delicious that hot or cold food was not a problem at all, and they all ate with great relish.

"Burp~"

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Wenya belatedly realized something:

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Didn't Mumu prepare any main course for you?"

What they just ate seemed to be mostly vegetables. Although the meat made it quite filling, it couldn't be denied that for Mumu, it was all prepared food; there shouldn't have been no staple food.

"Ningbao, take a look. Wow, there are several big baskets of cakes here."

Wenya: ...

"So how much of the food Mumu made is left? You didn't take it all out, did you?!"

"No, no, Ning Bao only took out one-third, there's still a lot left."

Wenya ate a third of the food in one meal. Hmm~ She quickly calculated in her mind that she would have to be more careful with her food in the future. Who knows how long they would stay here?

"Hey, Ningbao, take less food next time. This is the middle of nowhere, with monsters around, and we have nowhere to cook, right?"

"No, we have a pot, it's solar-powered, and we still have the ingredients."

Ning Baoxing hurriedly pulled a giant frying pan from her spatial bag. However, she forgot that she was currently using dog paws and couldn't hold on properly. The pan flipped over and trapped her inside.

"Oh dear, Sister Wenya, Ningbao can't see."

Ningbao had a big pot on his head and was bumping around aimlessly.

Wenya lifted the lid of the pot, feeling only a sense of impending doom. Did she really have to say it? She couldn't cook! A culinary disaster—would Ningbao eat it?!

"Alright, let's move forward a bit. Besides the monsters, aren't there also giants who train their bodies? They should be able to communicate normally, right?"

When Wenya said this, she wasn't quite sure herself, mainly because there were no humans around.
