Minecraft: I'm Really Not a Monster

A section of the originally flat plaza ground had suddenly disappeared. Yang Bo cautiously poked his head out from underground, looking around.

Under the glow of the morning sun, the dilapidated city ruins were draped in a layer of golden gauze, creating a strange sense of beauty.

But Yang Bo had no inclination to appreciate it.

"Have those monsters left?"

Not only the centipede monsters he had killed yesterday, but even the flying monsters that had emerged from that fissure were gone without a trace.

He widened the entrance a bit, so Wangcai and the Rat King could also climb out from underground.

Holding the stone axe, he cautiously walked towards the fissure. The red mist in the sky showed no signs of dissipating; on the contrary, it felt like it was getting thicker.

"Sang Biao, watch the surroundings."

A dog, an evolved dog. In his opinion, Wangcai's ability to sense things was definitely stronger than his.

"Woof..."

Upon hearing Yang Tao's command, Wangcai perked up its ears and flexibly adjusted its direction, listening for any unusual sounds nearby.

The city had been reduced to ruins, and many roads were now useless. Fortunately, Yang Bo's physical fitness had also become much stronger as his health value increased.

He could only jump one meter high before, but now he could easily leap over rubble piles two and a half meters high.

The closer he got to the ruins, the more vigilant Wangcai became.

"Woof!!"

Wangcai suddenly let out a loud bark, then opened its mouth and rapidly condensed a cyan-colored ball of energy.

Perhaps Wangcai's bark had provoked the other party. A monster, completely red and resembling the Rat King in size, jumped out from Yang Bo's blind spot.

Its body was covered in sharp spikes, but it didn't have the Rat King's tail.

"Squeak squeak!"

After jumping out, the monster made a warning cry.

Yang Bo held his axe in one hand and his shield in the other, turning his head to look at the Rat King and asking:

"Jerry, is this one of your relatives?"

The Rat King shook its head frantically and lowered its body slightly, baring its sharp teeth and making the same cry.

"Squeak squeak!"

Just then, the red-haired rat arched its body, and a sharp spike shot out from its body.

Yang Bo, who hadn't relaxed since it appeared, pushed off the ground and quickly moved in front of the Rat King, raising the shield in his hand.

Clang.

The spike was easily blocked by the shield.

For a moment, Yang Bo's figure became even taller in the Rat King's eyes.

"Wangcai!"

Actually, without Yang Bo's command, Wangcai had already spat out a wind blade upon seeing the opponent attack.

The cyan wind blade was very fast.

The sharp spikes on the red-haired rat's body were easily shaved off by the wind blade, but it didn't harm the main body.

However, after seeing the opponent shoot out a severed spike, Yang Bo suddenly had the idea of shaving off all the fur on its body.

He slowly charged towards the red-haired rat, holding his shield.

Clang… Clang…

The monster fired spikes very quickly, but judging from the durability lost on the shield, its attack wasn't very high.

However, even faster than Yang Bo was a black shadow – none other than the Rat King Jerry.

"Come back!!"

Yang Bo shouted anxiously. The Rat King was different from him; his data-based body would only lose health points even if he was hit once or twice, but if the Rat King was injured, it would be a real injury.

Especially with the opponent's spikes all over its body, it was practically wearing a set of thorns, specifically countering close-combat fighters like the Rat King.

Just as he shouted, the Rat King had already run in front of the opponent. Its massive body came to a sudden stop, and then it quickly turned around, relying on its powerful impact force.

Yang Bo, who was rushing over, saw the Rat King's fleshy tail suddenly become straight and reveal a metallic texture.

The next scene proved that this wasn't Yang Bo's illusion. The Rat King's thick tail struck the red-haired rat, actually making a metallic sound.

It knocked the red-haired rat to the ground, and then another wind blade accurately hit the red-haired rat's abdomen, which had no hard fur.

Pfft… Red liquid splattered everywhere.

"Squeak squeak…"

Yang Bo stopped, looking at the red-haired rat in front of him, which was barely breathing.

'The clown is actually me??'

Watching the Rat King pounce on the red-haired rat and tear at it relentlessly, a sense of unwillingness rose in Yang Bo's heart. 'You, Jerry, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn't expect you to secretly evolve…'

After a while, the Rat King rummaged through the monster's body and found an [Energy Stone], offering it to Yang Bo as if to claim credit.

[Level 2 Energy Stone]

[Increases Hunger by 20 points]

[Increases Fullness by 18 points]

"Level 2, huh?"

Although Yang Bo didn't know how many levels the monsters appearing in this world could reach, they definitely couldn't be only level 2.

"Good job. Give this Energy Stone to Wangcai first, and I'll take the corpse back to make barbecue for you."

There was only one [Level 2 Energy Stone], so he could only temporarily wrong the Rat King. After all, improving Wangcai, who had the ability to teleport, was the right path.

The Rat King Jerry had no objections to Yang Tao's distribution. After all, Wangcai's wind blade had been the main force in killing the opponent just now.

Moreover, it was very interested in barbecue, being a rat that lived in the human world.

After feeding the crystal stone to Wangcai, just as he was preparing to explore further, a fireball descended from the sky.

With a bang, it directly knocked Yang Bo back several steps.

His health value also decreased by 12 points.

Quickly looking up into the sky, he saw a monster flying in the air, with black wings, red skin, and curved horns on its head.

Seeing that Yang Bo hadn't been blown to death, it raised its hand again, and a fireball quickly condensed and was thrown downwards.

The invincible shield once again played its role.

After blocking the opponent's attack, he shouted at Wangcai, who was spitting out a wind blade: "Into the building!!"

Not all the buildings had turned into ruins; at least some buildings still had half left.

Yang Bo took the lead and ran into the half-remaining building on the side, with the Rat King and Wangcai following closely behind.

The monster in the sky, resembling a demon, saw its prey run into the building and didn't fly down. Instead, it circled the building once before flapping its wings and quickly leaving.

Yang Bo, who was hiding in the building and preparing to ambush the opponent when it flew down, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the opponent leave.

He took out the [Bread] he had opened from the bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Flying gives such a big advantage. If you can't win, you can just run away; there's no way to keep them here."

This passive feeling made Yang Bo feel very uncomfortable.

He looked at Wangcai with expectant eyes, but finally shook his head helplessly.

Expecting a dog to fly was no better than hoping he could get some modules that would allow him to fly.

Just as Yang Bo was about to leave, the monster in the sky actually returned, and not only that, but it was also followed by more than a dozen identical monsters.

They arrived at the high-rise building where Yang Bo was and swooped down directly.

"Damn, that's not fair, calling for reinforcements."

Although Yang Bo's expression was a bit unsightly, he wasn't too flustered. The axe in his hand disappeared and switched to cobblestone, quickly blocking the entrance, leaving only a passage for one monster to enter and exit.
