Chapter 39: That's Too Scary

Feng Qi did not know how strong Blackie was.

However, he had fought Blackie a few times, but he was always killed instantly without any ability to resist.

At this moment, he realized that Blackie was rus.h.i.+ng over from the pile of bones. He decisively chose to escape.

Back then, he had fought Blackie head-on because there was no price to pay for death. However, his value was different now, so he had to be more stable.

As he shuttled through the city ruins, he scanned his surroundings warily.

Last time, in the city ruins, he encountered a powerful domain creature that looked like a blood-colored eye and almost died.

Although the future had changed slightly because of his influence, he could not guarantee that this domain creature had disappeared.

He had to be more vigilant.

Feng Qi moved east along the streets filled with rubble and the remains of buildings, constantly bypa.s.sing intersections blocked by collapsed structures. He did not know how long he had been walking.

As for the distance between him and Blackie, he all the more wasn't sure.

Therefore, he stopped, wanting to confirm Blackie's exact location.

He scanned his surroundings and locked his gaze on a tall, slanted building.

After climbing to the top of the building, he looked to the west.

Due to the distance, he could only see a black dot moving quickly.

Just as he had expected, Blackie had been constantly chasing after him and was about to enter the city ruins.

"There's no end to this. I don't even know why it is hunting me down," Feng Qi said indignantly.

[If you need a reason, it might be because you're too ugly that one can't even bear to look at you. Even you despise yourself, let alone Blackie. If it weren't for the fact that I cannot appear, I would definitely hunt you down as well.]

""

He looked down at his appearance. Although there were already muscles on his body and he was no longer just a skeleton, he was indeed unbelievably ugly.

"I'm slowly turning back into a normal person," he countered awkwardly.

[You might turn out to be a big-muscled monster. Who knows?]

"Shut up!"

[Alright, future big-muscled monster!]

""

Raising his head to confirm Blackie's location again, he nimbly climbed down the tall building and continued running down the street.

As for his destination, he did not know either.

In short, he could not let Blackie catch him. If he lost this game of hide-and-seek, he would lose a million points. He could not afford to waste it.

Even if he would definitely die, he had to use up the number of times his access granted to check the cultivation techniques this time. Otherwise, he would not die in peace.

After running wildly for more than ten minutes, Feng Qi suddenly stopped.

He swept his gaze forward and saw a huge creature with a single horn, resembling a rhinoceros lying at the corner.

It narrowed its eyes. There was a rune crystal embedded in the horn on its forehead that flickered under the blood moon.

After taking a few steps back, he moved gingerly and prepared to turn around and leave.

At this moment, the sleeping domain creature's nose twitched. It suddenly opened its fist-sized red eyes and locked its gaze on him.

[The consequences of not taking a shower, stinky.]

"Shut up!"

With a furious roar, he decisively turned around and ran.

The domain creature that looked like a rhinoceros shook its body and stood up. It let out a deafening roar and charged at him.

Immediately, the ground shook.

The one-horned creature was very strong. Feng Qi wanted to make use of the terrain to circle around it, but he did not expect the building behind him to be broken by it. The rubble that rained down almost buried him alive.

He couldn't beat it, and he couldn't run fast enough. He felt that he was one step closer to death once more.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the blood-colored eye he had encountered last time.

At that time, Blackie's appearance had helped him escape the predicament, allowing him to successfully return to the Star City Shelter.

At this thought, he, who had barely avoided the impact of the one-horned creature, decisively changed direction and ran towards Blackie.

Life and death are decided by fate.

If I am to die either way, I might as well give it a try.

"Blackie, I'm coming!"

As he ran, he almost lost his life several times. At the most dangerous moment, the mouth of the one-horned domain creature was less than half a meter away from his head.

Fortunately, due to its size, the one-horned creature's steering was very slow, giving him a chance to maneuver with it for a moment.

However, this was not a long-term solution. Once he was struck, he would definitely die.

As Feng Qi dashed continuously, he felt his muscles ache.

Just as he felt that he could not run anymore, a figure covered in black fog appeared not far away.

The domain creature that was following closely behind Feng Qi also noticed Blackie's arrival. It suddenly stopped chasing, but its huge body still slid forward a few meters due to inertia, leaving obvious pit marks on the ground.

Roar!

The one-horned creature seemed to be very afraid of Blackie. It let out a deterrent roar at it, and its attention completely s.h.i.+fted to Blackie.

In the face of the one-horned creature's provocation, Blackie maintained its cold and ruthless att.i.tude as it slowly approached Feng Qi.

At this moment, the one-horned domain creature roared again, as if it had been provoked. Its forelimbs dug into the ground and it lowered its head to charge forward.

Realizing that something was wrong, Feng Qi decisively pounced to the right.

Fortunately, the one-horned creature's target was not him, so he narrowly avoided the violent collision.

He rolled on the ground and stabilized himself. He turned around and saw that the one-horned domain creature had already approached Blackie. The horn embedded with a rune crystal struck Blackie hard.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Blackie was sent flying.

However, just as Feng Qi thought that Blackie was going to fly far away, a magical scene happened.

Blackie's body, which was covered by the black fog, suddenly spread out and turned into a black cloud. Then, it suddenly re-condensed its body where it had been standing just now to neutralize the impact of the violent collision.

"D*mn, this move is so cool!"

Seeing that physical damage was ineffective against Blackie, Feng Qi's eyes widened. Then, he decisively turned around and took off.

Now was the best time to leave. Otherwise, after Blackie killed the one-horned creature, it would be his turn next.

Das.h.i.+ng out of the street, he wanted to go to Star City Shelter immediately.

Yet he discovered that countless twisting purple vines covered the entire street in front of him like a spider web. These purple vines seemed to have a life of their own, and he could clearly see liquid flowing inside the vines.

Feng Qi's appearance broke the peace here. As the vines twisted, they slowly approached where he stood.

Encountering domain creatures one after another, while cursing in his heart, he could only turn around and continue running east.

Along the way, he realized that the further east he went, the higher the frequency of domain creatures appearing.

Just as he escaped the pursuit of the vines and had not rested for a moment, he was attacked by another three-meter-tall hound.

As he was being pursued, he hid in a dilapidated estate.

This estate was covered in moss and barbed weeds. It was more like a primitive forest than a neighborhood.

He jogged to the third floor, kicked open a door on the left side of the walkway, and ducked inside.

To be safe, he decided to hide in the estate for the time being and go out to investigate the situation after there was no movement from the outside world.

He looked around. The room he was in was filled with dust and spider webs. It was very messy. There were dark red marks on the cracked floor. The metal equipment was rusty, and the food in the fridge was rotten. They would dissipate into dust at a touch.

After searching around, he found that the only thing in the room that could be used was a fountain pen made of an unknown material.

With nothing to do, Feng Qi simply sat on the floor in front of the window.

This was the first time he had lived so long in the future dream and he was nervous about how much longer he could live.

As time pa.s.sed, it suddenly rained heavily outside. Dark clouds covered the blood moon, and his vision was shrouded in darkness.

Accompanied by low rumbles, lightning flashed and thunder cracked outside.

He didn't know if the hound had left, so he could only hide in the corner of the room and listen warily to the movements outside the house.

At this moment, a purple bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening roar. The sky suddenly lit up, and the room was illuminated.

Under the light, he suddenly realized that a thin figure in the form of a human had, at a point unbeknown to him, appeared and was seated on his left. However, before he could take a closer look, his vision was enveloped in darkness again.

"What the h.e.l.l!"

[Maybe it's a big rat!]

???

In the darkness, he sensed the thin figure curled up to his left slowly approaching him. Then, it suddenly hugged his left arm. Suddenly, a cold aura attacked him, making him s.h.i.+ver uncontrollably.

"I'm scared!" The thin figure said in a childish voice.

Upon hearing the familiar language, he immediately lost his composure. He turned to his right and said with a trembling voice, "Kid, I'm even more scared than you. I f*cking remember that I was the only one in this room."

[Oh my, is this a ghost? Are there ghosts among domain creatures as well? That's too scary.]

""

The narration made him even more nervous. He couldn't help but shout angrily,

"Shut up. I'm not afraid."
