nThere were still more than ten hours before nightfall.

n

n

nKlein stationed himself there.

n

n

nThere were seven excavations left for today.

n

n

nHe didn’t know if he could use them all.

n

n

nNormally, the catacombs were two different worlds during the day and at night.

n

n

nIt was like the wilderness, with many ferocious beasts appearing at night.

n

n

nPerhaps it was the same in the catacombs world.

n

n

nFurthermore, at night…

n

n

nThe eye would always have its limits. Even if Klein’s night vision had been enhanced, it wouldn’t be particularly convenient at night.

n

n

nIn fact, with Klein’s current conditions, he could completely rest in place for a month.

n

n

nHe could only rely on the water condenser and meat field to support himself for a long time.

n

n

nBut Klein wasn’t satisfied with his current situation.

n

n

nHe wanted to improve the quality of his life and constantly increase his strength.

n

n

nEspecially after reading through the illustrated handbook, which was incomplete, many powerful crypt creatures had been recorded.

n

n

nIt wasn’t that they couldn’t move.

n

n

nIf one day they took the initiative to seek him out, his strength would be weak, and it would be difficult for him to fend them off with Little Fox.

n

n

nKlein didn’t stay idle after that.

n

n

nFirst, he added 40 pieces of wood to the water condenser and continued making water.

n

n

nThen, he watered the meat field.

n

n

nThe rest of the time was used to train.

n

n

nStrength Training: Push-ups, Sit-ups.

n

n

nKnife and Spear Training: Stabbing, Slashing, Posture

n

n

nRunic Driving Training: Accurate Shooting, Rapid Reloading, Multiple Shots…

n

n

nWhen he was tired, he would stop to rest and stroke Little Fox, or he could look at the chat channel and check his private messages.

n

n

nKlein learned more information from the world and regional chat channels.

n

n

nIt was mainly about the current situation of the various major players.

n

n

nMost of them had dug up five or six catacombs, while the best was about to dig their tenth catacombs.

n

n

nThey weren’t Klein.

n

n

nEvery time they dug up a blind box, they would find something.

n

n

nSome fierce players had to stop because they were injured from fighting the crypt creatures.

n

n

nMost of them were only willing to move forward when their food and water ran out.

n

n

nToday, a large portion of the players had already met others.

n

n

nMost of them would choose to form an alliance.

n

n

nThere were also a few who chose to plunder resources!

n

n

nThere were three types.

n

n

nThere were successful counter-attacks, some who only received resources and didn’t kill others, and there were also those who killed and stole treasures.

n

n

nAmong them, there were a few who killed and stole treasures. In other words, there were only a few who were known by outsiders.

n

n

nThe killer wouldn’t take the initiative to speak.

n

n

nBefore the victim died, he called for help in the chat channel. When others went to ask, there was already no response.

n

n

nSimilar bloody incidents continued to play out in the catacombs.

n

n

nThere were already players calling for everyone to work together and not engage in internal strife the next time they met.

n

n

n“Only cooperation can increase the chances of survival. Two people have a much higher chance to survive than just one person. It can also relieve loneliness.”

n

n

n“Cooperation is advocated, not plunder.”

n

n

n“Killing is against the law. Don’t do things that violate the bottom line!”

n

n

nAnd so on.

n

n

nAfter Klein finished reading, he could only say that this small number of people were too naïve.

n

n

nThey had actually moved the morals and regulations of a civilized society to the cruel underground world.

n

n

nMost of the people in the chat channel didn’t respond.

n

n

nMost of them understood the logic. If there were food and drink, and they could coexist with each other.

n

n

nIf there was a lack of food and drink, who would care if they killed or not?

n

n

nAfter all, no one knew they were killing people here, and there was no need for them to be put on trial.

n

n

n“With more players forming teams, will there be more resources on the market, or fewer?”

n

n

nKlein was unable to come to a conclusion.

n

n

nForming teams would make digging safer, and they could take care of each other. It would also make them safer when they faced crypt creatures.

n

n

nThe team had to go to a crypt together, and the number of times the team could dig together could not be combined. The maximum number of times a day would still be 10.

n

n

nIf they did not form a team, they would not be sharing the same team. The total number of times they could dig could be stacked, but it was more dangerous to go alone.

n

n

nEach had its pros and cons.

n

n

nIn the blink of an eye, it was already noon.

n

n

nLunch was stewed meat.

n

n

nThe meat was made from Rock-Armored Crocodiles and One-Eyed Lizard.

n

n

nIn order to make the taste more layered, the juice of the Black Vine fruit was added to increase the sweet and sour taste.

n

n

nAfter seasoning, this lunch was the most delicious meal Klein had ever had since he entered the catacombs.

n

n

nRock-Armored Crocodile meat could increase one’s resistance to blows.

n

n

nKlein wasn’t sure if it would work on foxes as well.

n

n

nThe sky turned dark.

n

n

nAfter dinner, Klein made his final preparations.

n

n

nWeapons inspection.

n

n

nHe gave the fox some important instructions.

n

n

nHe also did some warm-up exercises.

n

n

nAt the same time, he would occasionally observe the movements of the next catacomb.

n

n

nPerhaps the Carrion Jackal would automatically leave.

n

n

nIt was completely dark.

n

n

nKlein’s night vision had indeed improved once again.

n

n

nIn the past, he couldn’t even see his own fingers.

n

n

nNow, his visibility was around fifteen meters.

n

n

nThe night vision of the Carrion Jackal was close to zero. They had no sense of smell, and their hearing was weak.

n

n

nAs long as he was ten meters away, Klein was confident that the arrow would hit a vital point!

n

n

nAt that moment, Klein looked at the catacomb in front of him again.

n

n

nThere’s an attractive silver treasure chest in the catacomb ahead. There’s a pair of Carrion Jackals waiting for you. Now is a good time to attack. You can easily take care of them.

n

n

nHint…

n

n

nEasily finished!

n

n

nKlein and Little Fox entered the tunnel they had dug beforehand.

n

n

nThey arrived in front of the black membrane.

n

n

nKlein looked at Little Fox and said, “Be careful and don’t alert the enemy, understand?”

n

n

nKlein wasn’t too worried about Little Fox. Before he entered, he instructed once again, “Without my orders, you are not allowed to attack in advance.”

n

n

n“Wu, wu, wu!”

n

n

nLittle Fox patted her furry chest as though she was saying, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

n

n

nKlein stepped into the black membrane first.

n

n

nLittle Fox followed closely behind.

n

n

nThe nineteenth catacomb.

n

n

nIt was silent.

n

n

nKlein observed his surroundings. With his limited vision, he tried his best to find the location of the Carrion Jackals.

n

n

nWhoosh!

n

n

nLittle Fox tugged at Klein’s pant leg.

n

n

nLooking over, Little Fox gestured diagonally forward.

n

n

nIts night vision was better than Klein’s, so it naturally discovered the enemy ahead of time.

n

n

nKlein nodded slightly and slowly moved in the direction of Little Fox.

n

n

nEvery step he took had to be light enough.

n

n

nHe walked for a full two minutes over a distance of more than ten meters.

n

n

nKlein stopped in his tracks.

n

n

nHe could already see the outline of the two Carrion Jackals in the darkness.

n

n

nThe time for the hunt had begun!
