nA fatal blow!
n
n
nKlein grinned, revealing two rows of bright teeth.
n
n
nHe never expected that the first time he aimed at the goods, he would hit a fatal spot.
n
n
nAs expected…
n
n
n‘Do I have a shooting talent?’

n
n
nTwo souls obtained in one go.
n
n
nKlein was stunned.
n
n
nBefore this, when he killed a crypt creature it would only have one soul.
n
n
nHis gaze was directed at the remaining Rock Armor Crocodile.
n
n
nIt was being played around by Little Fox.
n
n
nIt couldn’t catch up, and Little Fox was constantly loitering in front of it. It stopped and waited for it to catch up.
n
n
nLittle Fox also tried to attack.
n
n
nShe only left a few bloody marks on its body, and its defense was too astonishing.
n
n
n“Little Fox, get out of the way,” Klein shouted.
n
n
nLittle Fox understood and increased its speed. It threw the Rock Armor Crocodile far away in two or three tries.
n
n
nThe Rock Armor Crocodile was incapacitated and enraged as it shifted its target to Klein.
n
n
nAs for the death of its companion, it hadn’t noticed it. It thought that its companion wouldn’t be able to catch up, so it planned on pincer-attacking the enemy.
n
n
nKlein raised the runic crossbow again.
n
n
nHe calculated the speed of the Rock Armor Crocodile in his mind.
n
n
nHe predicted its position in advance.
n
n
nShoo!
n
n
nThe arrow brushed past the Rock Armor Crocodile, but it missed.
n
n
nKlein’s eyelids twitched. His heart couldn’t help but beat faster when he faced the two-meter-long crocodile that looked like a beast.
n
n
n“Calm down.”
n
n
nKlein had experienced two small battles, so he took his time and aimed once again to predict his positioning.
n
n
nShoot!
n
n
nThe arrow produced sparks as it pierced through the Rock Armor Crocodile’s head.
n
n
nThe Rock Armor Crocodile rolled forward and fell at Klein’s feet.

n
n
n“Phew. Done.”
n
n
nKlein collected the two Rock Armor Crocodile corpses before dissecting them.

n
n
nJust the meat on their bodies was already a great harvest.
n
n
nKlein checked the crocodile blood first according to the usual practice.
n
n
nRock Armor Crocodile Blood: Cold blood. It can be used to temper close-combat weapons. There is a certain chance to improve the quality of the weapon.
n
n
nAlthough it didn’t meet the expectations, it could be used to refine and discard. It was barely acceptable.
n
n
nKlein had already tasted the benefits of blood medicine, so he hoped that the crocodile blood would also have the effect of strengthening his physique.
n
n
nThen, he checked the crocodile meat.
n
n
nRock Armor Crocodile Meat: It tastes average. If taken frequently, it can strengthen one’s resistance to blows. It must be cooked at high temperatures. Otherwise, in the fishy smell, the current consumption of it has a satiation index of three stars. Overall score: 72.
n
n
n“It can strengthen one’s defense?”
n
n
nKlein’s eyes lit up.
n
n
nIt can strengthen one’s defense. It’s good stuff!
n
n
nKlein happily accepted it.
n
n
n“Open the treasure chest!”
n
n
nKlein strode towards one of the copper treasure chests.
n
n
nHe checked it, and there was no harm.

n
n
nThe first treasure chest had two lifestyle blueprints. There were also new materials, cloth, and cotton thread.
n
n
nWith just these few items, this excavation was already worth it.
n
n
nKlein opened the second copper treasure chest.

n
n
nAnother lifestyle crafting blueprint appeared, a new material.
n
n
nThe copper treasure chest was completely disintegrated, and the copper block he gained was 8.
n
n
nHe learned all three crafting blueprints.
n
n
nHe kept the remaining items.
n
n
nHe opened the crafting list and looked at the synthesis formula for the new items.

n
n
nKlein paid the most attention to the toilet paper.
n
n
nAfter all, he had just used the parchment map yesterday. It wasn’t comfortable at all.
n
n
nThe toilet paper came just in time!
n
n
nHe couldn’t use it for the time being.
n
n
nThere was no need to immediately produce it.
n
n
nKlein began to plunder the resources on the ground.
n
n
nWood 18, Iron 20, Stone 18, Copper 16…
n
n
n“There should be nothing left.”
n
n
nKlein stopped.
n
n
nJust as he was about to use the Rock Armor Crocodile blood to refine his machete, the earth wall on his left rippled.
n
n
n“Knn!”
n
n
nLittle Fox was the first to notice the commotion and shrieked.
n
n
nKlein looked up and narrowed his eyes.
n
n
nTwo figures passed through the complete earth wall and arrived at the local catacomb!
n
n
nIt was a young man and a middle-aged man.
n
n
nThe two of them held short spears and knives in their hands. They were originally smiling, but when they saw Klein, their smiles froze.
n
n
n“Klein!”
n
n
nThe two of them had seen Klein’s face in person on the world channel, and they recognized the celebrity at a glance.
n
n
n“What should we do?” the youth whispered.
n
n
nThe two of them knew that the catacombs contained rich resources, but it seemed like Klein had arrived before them.
n
n
nThe middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and sized up Klein. Seeing that he had nothing in his hands and that there was a weak and cute white fox sitting by his feet, he couldn’t help but think of something.
n
n
nThe two of them had met in another catacomb.
n
n
nThey had been digging together since yesterday afternoon.
n
n
n“Klein?” the middle-aged man asked tentatively.
n
n
n“Whichever direction you want to dig in, please feel free.”
n
n
nKlein didn’t plan on making things difficult for the two of them.
n
n
nUnless the two of them made things difficult for him.
n
n
nThe middle-aged man said, “My name is Jack, and he’s Tom.”
n
n
nThe middle-aged man said, “We would like to invite you to join the team. We would like to excavate together and share resources so that we can survive in the catacombs world!”
n
n
nIn order to increase his persuasiveness, Jack said in a deep voice, “Tom and I dug up a subterranean creature yesterday, and we killed it together. If we had your materials, the strength of the team would be even stronger!”
n
n
nThe key was that Klein seemed to have an endless supply of meat and water.
n
n
nIf he could team up with Klein, the problem of food and water could be solved.
