Qi Shu headed towards another location. When he left the house, he had already planned to head to several places. If he couldn’t go to the park, he could go somewhere else. This was the advantage of being familiar with the surrounding environment.
Soon after, he saw his destination. It was a dilapidated building. He had not gotten near when he heard a commotion coming from inside. There had to be an evolutionary creature inside.
Qi Shu took light steps and slowly walked towards the dilapidated building. With the help of the moonlight in the sky, he soon saw two mutated beasts. It seemed like they were fighting for the ownership of this territory.
There was a large gray rat and a hedgehog covered in steel needles. Rats would not normally deal with such hedgehogs since it was not easy to bite them. However, the source of life was extremely tempting to them. Therefore, they could not give up.
This rat had absorbed a lot of the source of life. It was almost two meters long, and it looked like a human when it stood up. It was much bigger than the hedgehog.
Additionally, the mouse had an extremely agile body and sharp teeth, so the hedgehog could do nothing even if its hard spikes were bitten off one by one. The flesh on its back had been bitten off. It could only let out a helpless howl.
“Not bad, I got two of them in one go.”
Qi Shu nodded and immediately restrained his movements. While the two evolutionary beasts were busy fighting, he took the opportunity to move behind the mouse. The best option was to kill the mouse first.
Qi Shu was about seven to eight meters away from them. Just as he was about to move closer, the direction of the wind suddenly changed. He could not wait any longer. He immediately rushed out and headed towards the evolutionary rat.
The change in the wind direction enabled the evolutionary rat to sense danger in the air at once. Since rats were timid by nature, it fled immediately.
Of course, Qi Shu did not want the item that he had just obtained to fly away just like that. He immediately released his full aura and let out a long howl. The tyrannical aura of a ferocious tiger spread out through the air.
This was the nature of animals regardless of how much they evolved. The aura at the top of the biological chain caused the evolutionary rat’s body to stiffen as it fled the area. It just took Qi Shu one or two seconds to make it do so.
Qi Shu arrived in front of the rat in an instant. He kicked it into the air and struck the spot below the rat’s neck. This was the rat’s heart. It died instantly withouut experiencing any pain.
Qi Shu grabbed the source of life that was slowly rising up and slowly absorbed it into his body. He looked at the hedgehog, who was breathing heavily. He then ended its suffering by killing it.
However, the two sources of life combined were not as big as the source of life that he had gotten from the black fish. They only increased his strength slightly, so he was still quite far from reaching Martial Artist Level 5.
Qi Shu then walked into the building. However, there were only corpses of cats and dogs inside. It seemed that the rat had cleared out this place. Otherwise, it would not have evolved into such a big-sized rat.
Qi Shu had some guesses about this as well. He then headed towards the next marked location. It was good to have a plan before collecting the source of life. There was no need for him to randomly go around.
…
Qi Shu soon arrived at the next place. It was a large field of abandoned farmland. However, before he got close, he realized that there were lights flashing. There seemed to be many people there.
Qi Shu climbed onto a big tree and looked inside. He discovered a few armored vehicles.
Qi Shu frowned and asked, “Have the military started to take control so quickly?”
He had no choice but to give up on this area and head to the next area. However, before he could get far, he heard gunshots from afar. It seemed like there was military personnel here as well.
Qi Shu could only change directions. However, when the gunshots rang out here, it seemed like all the military had received orders. The sound of gunshots rang out from many different places.
Qi Shu came to a place where the sound of gunshots could not be heard. There were also quite a number of military personnel patrolling and guarding this area. It was really difficult to make a move.
Qi Shu looked at his watch. It was already 3 am.
“Forget it. Let’s call it a day!”
When he returned home, the sky had already begun to slowly brighten. After a busy night, he had pretty good gains. He had already reached Martial Artist Level 4, so he could stand up for himself now.
Now, all he had to do was wait for the morning to end and unlock a new instance zone. Every time he got a first pass into a zone, he would get a lot of benefits.
Qi Shu was not very tired now. He immediately switched on the television. In order to appease the citizens of Yangcheng, they would probably report the extermination of the evolved beasts.
As soon as he turned on the television, he saw the live footage of a helicopter. A valiant-looking female warrior dressed in a military uniform was reporting military reports in a meticulous manner. .
[Residents of Yangcheng, please be at ease. All the evolutionary beasts that appeared in densely populated areas have been eliminated. The military has already spread out to eliminate the evolutionary beasts hidden in other areas.
Please do not go out now. The government will distribute free supplies periodicallly. If you encounter any evolutionary beasts that we have missed out, hide immediately and call 19999 to report to the higher-ups.]
The television then started to broadcast scenes of shooting and killing evolutionary beasts. There was no doubt that firearms could still play a huge role in the early stages of the revival of magical power.
Qi Shu looked at the mutated beasts that were being killed one by one. His heart was bleeding. If he had all of them, he would be able to upgrade himself by breaking through a few stages!
Qi Shu then went to the bathroom to wash the blood off his body. He returned to the sofa and watched the television. He silently waited for the deadline of the instance zone cheats to arrive.
…
Soon, it was time to reap his rewards.
[Instance zone cheats successful. The rewards are as follows.]
[You have been logged in to the ‘Cave of Mutations’ instance zone for 12 hours. First pass instance zone. Obtained: Mind Moving Teechnique, 30 primary stones!]
[Technique cheats successful. Cultivation speed has increased by four times. The rewards are as follows.]
[Your technique cheats for ‘Ancient Martial Arts Physical Training Techniques’ has been activated for 12 hours. Magical energy enters the body and molds the physical body. Cultivation progress has increased. Strength has increased.]
“Ugh!”
Qi Shu slowly let out a breath of turbid air. He could feel that his strength had become a little stronger. It seemed like he had arrived at a bottleneck. However, he could feel that he would be able to advance to Martial Artist Level 5 after two more attempts at activating the cheats system.
He opened the interface.
[Host]: Qi Shu
[Power]: Martial Artist Level 4
[Instance zone cheats]: Jiangnan Residential Area, Yangcheng Mountain Range, Cave of Mutations
[Technique cheats (4x Speed)]: Ancient Martial Arts Physical Training Technique, Tiger Fist (Perfect), Mind Moving Technique
[Primary stones]: 22 primary stones
There didn’t seem to be any new maps to unlock for Martial Artist Level 4, so he continued to click on the Cave of Mutations to connect to the cheats system. This was an important source of primary stones, so he had to start here first.
Qi Shu then looked at the new technique. It seemed to be related to footwork, which had greatly increased his battle prowess. After all, the Tiger Fist was focused on offense, but was relatively weaker when it came to footwork.
[Technique cheats successfully activated. 2 primary stones have been consumed. The technique cheats for ”Mind Moving Technique’ has been selected. 4x cultivation speed!]
He then clicked on the top-up button.
[Top-up successful. 20 primary stones have been consumed. In the following period of time, the cultivation speed of your techniques will be doubled. Currently, it is five times faster.]
Qi Shu looked at the notification in front of him. This newly obtained cultivation technique required more primary stones than the first two. However, since it was expensive, it was definitely something good. He looked forward to seeing the results after successfully cultivating it.
After Qi Shu was done, he returned to his room to rest. There was military personnel everywhere outside. There was no need for him to go out and cause trouble.
