There's something wrong with me

Chapter 72 New World [Thriving Growth] (6K)

Resurrection: 3

[Adventure Level: 2+]

[Adventure Type: Special, World Line Backtracking]

[Main Mission: Survive for 3 Days]

[Optional Main Quest: Survive for 5 Days]

[Identity: Traveler]

[The maximum number of enhancements this time: 4 (the upper limit has been calculated)]

[Every day you survive, you will get a reinforcement option]

……

I opened my eyes and saw the light from a few old-fashioned flashlights slightly illuminating the cave, which was about several hundred square meters.

There were five men and one woman in front of me, and they were silently sorting supplies.

And also at this moment.

The girl said, "Turn off the other lights and leave only one on."

"Hmm..." The others responded silently and turned off the extra lights.

The cave was even darker at this moment, with only the sunlight coming through from above, shining on a small area on the side wall.

Zhang Feng glanced at them, then looked at the environment, and first looked at the previous adventure introduction.

'I have three choices at the beginning, and the maximum limit is once.

This means that the enhancements I made in this "past timeline" are all based on the enhancement rewards I received from completing tasks in the past.

If no mission is completed, you can only start once.

As expected of a special world, although there may be some special rewards at the end, there aren't many enhancements."

Zhang Feng quickly pondered the world's information, and then began to recall his own memories.

Soon, Zhang Feng learned that the six people had known each other for a long time and were "travel buddies" who came out to play together.

I just joined yesterday.

But it can also be said that the six of them gradually gathered together as they walked.

But I am the last one.

Then, unfortunately.

Just this morning, when I and they were walking on a mountain, the ground suddenly collapsed.

Then he fell into the cave along the mud.

Fortunately, the soil below was soft and they rolled down the slope next to it, so no one was seriously injured.

I just can't go up.

Because everyone was traveling light in the mountains and it was not a mountain climbing expedition, so ropes, hammers and other things were all in the camp.

I only brought some food, water, and some small props for daily use.

Who knew the ground would collapse?

After Zhang Feng recalled this information, he didn't have any opinion about it, because if they had everything, he wouldn't have come here.

at the same time.

After Zhang Feng understood what had happened, he also began to look at his own "knowledge".

First of all, you need to have some outdoor adventure experience.

Although most of them are the same as what Zhang Feng knows, the more you know, the better.

Then look at the properties.

[Physique: 13]

【Root bone: 1】

[Martial Arts: 1.3]

Zhang Feng focused on the physique and didn't care about the other two, because there are only five days in this world.

Later, after Zhang Feng sorted out all the real-time information, he looked at the first reinforcement based on his understanding of the situation.

【1: Primary Thriving Growth】

[2: Bloody Pursuit]

【3: Growth Physique】

Zhang Feng glanced at it and first looked at 1
[Primary Thriving Growth: Normal, Epic]

[Effect 1: After selecting, your weight will increase by 10 catties immediately. The increased weight will be evenly distributed.]

【Effect 2: Every month, your weight increases by 10 catties】

"..."

Zhang Feng frowned when he saw it. Although it was good and a perfect match with "a big heart and a fat body", it seemed useless now.

If there really are some ferocious or strange beasts here, would they let people eat ten more kilograms of meat?

Look at 2 again
[Bloody Pursuit: Normal, Epic, only appears at the beginning]

Kill three crypt creatures.

Kill 1: Constitution +1.3

Kill 2: Digestion and Absorption +30g

Kill 3: No longer hungry for one day (Performance below 20, perfect effect)

[All targets executed: Bones +0.4, Reaction Speed ​​-0.009, and a rare enhancement opportunity is obtained]

'Cryptids?'

Zhang Feng first glanced at the cave, then picked up the flashlight at hand and turned it on. Through the light, he saw several tunnels around the rock wall of the cave.

"I don't know if there are any wild animals there." At this time, a man with a dusty face next to him looked towards where Zhang Fengzhao was.

"There's a wild beast?!" The others also subconsciously sat back.

Zhang Feng ignored them and turned on the light to illuminate the tunnel while looking at the third option.

[Growth of physical fitness: Every day of survival, physical fitness +1]

It takes five days to gain 1 point of physical strength.

Far less than the various rewards of Bloody Manhunt.

Zhang Feng directly chose a bloody pursuit.

But after making the choice, Zhang Feng discovered that there was no "bloody mark" in this bloody hunt, nor was there any indication that a certain underground creature must be killed.

What is that crypt creature?
Do all creatures in the dungeon count?
Zhang Feng thought to himself, looked at a woodlice under his feet, and stepped on it to death, but found that there was no reward.

"Zhang!" A middle-aged man nearby saw this and quickly warned, "Be careful, some insects are poisonous. Don't step on them. Some insects will emit poisonous gas when they are stepped on to death."

"It's just a woodlice and a watermelon bug." Zhang Feng asked them to relax.

Otherwise, one person would be startled and another would be startled.

Even though Zhang Feng wasn't nervous at all, he was made nervous by them.

Afterwards, Zhang Feng ignored them and quickly looked at the two enhancements behind him.

[1: Constitution +0.9]

[2: Reaction speed -0.001]

[3: Root Bone +0.2]

Choose 1, there is no time for development for five days.

Let’s look at the third enhancement.

[1: Martial Arts +0.1]

[2: Reaction speed -0.002]

[3: Constitution +0.9]

3. Stack up your physique first.

The normal human reaction speed is 0.2-0.3 seconds, -0.002, which is meaningless.

Not as good as strength.

Zhang Feng can perform better.

All selected.

Only then did Zhang Feng look at the six brothers seriously.

Perhaps because we rolled out of the mud, none of us is clean.

"The food is enough for us to eat for half a day." The girl saw Zhang Feng looking at her and pointed at Zhang Feng's lamp while talking about the supplies.
"Old Xing and Brother Liu's flashlights are running low on power. Brother Zhang, can we save some? We'll need to borrow them to find a way out later."

In the girl’s memory, Zhang Feng was a very sunny young man who was easy to talk to.

After spending a day together, Zhang Feng basically wouldn't interrupt anyone on the team.

Similarly, if Zhang Feng wasn't sunny and friendly, the six of them really wouldn't have brought Zhang Feng along on their trip.

“This cannot be saved.”

At this moment, Zhang Feng was very calm, giving them a very unfamiliar feeling. Although they had only known each other for a short time, it was that sudden change in temperament.

This makes them feel very strange.

The girl also stopped talking for a moment.

The others didn't want to talk too much with Zhang Feng, who had suddenly become cold, to avoid any conflict.

Seeing that they seemed to have misunderstood him, Zhang Feng pointed around and said, "The cave must be kept well-lit at all times to prevent any wild animals from entering.

If it really exists and suddenly comes to us, it will be difficult for us to react."

"But won't it be the same when the power goes out?" a young man in a shirt retorted, "What will we do then?"

"Did you hurt your brain?" Before Zhang Feng could say anything, the man in his thirties named Brother Liu said, "Xiao Lin, are we just going to stay here forever? Are we going to wait for the beast to come over?

Didn’t we just agree to find a way out together? "

"You go." Xiao Lin shook his head and said, "I'll wait for rescue here."

"Why are you still so stubborn?" the others tried to persuade him.
"We agreed to go together at the beginning, why do you have to insist on going?"

"Rescue? What can you use for rescue? The only radio is still in the camp. In this deep forest, who would know we fell into this place?"

"That's right." The middle-aged old Xing also advised: "You are here alone, how can we leave without worry?"

Several people tried to persuade him, but a strong man grabbed Xiaolin and stood up.

"Stop wasting time, Xiaolin, let's go together."

After the burly man finished dragging him, he looked at Zhang Feng again, "Um...Brother Zhang, turn off the electric baton. Let's go find a way now."

"Okay." When Zhang Feng heard that he had to find the way, he stood up quickly.

The strong man, relying on his strong physique and righteous character, took the lead and led the team forward.

"Zhang!" Brother Liu handed Zhang Feng an axe.

There are five in the team. They were used to chop wood and make fire before, but now they can be used for self-defense.

"I'll carry the food." After handing Zhang Feng the hatchet, Brother Liu walked to the middle of the team.

Zhang Feng was behind him and saw that he was carrying an old military backpack, which contained ten apples, some wild vegetables, and some cooking ingredients.

"The water is here." Old Xing said, encouraging everyone, "Anyone who is thirsty can come to me and get some water."

Old Xing also carried a large bag containing seven different water bottles and two bottles of liquor.

"I have some gauze here." The girl was carrying a small bag containing a few boxes of cigarettes, a few boxes of matches and half a roll of gauze.

Zhang Feng glanced at them and saw that they had a complete picnic set up, except for something edible.

But now all I can eat are ten apples and two kilograms of wild vegetables.

Of course, if you are really hungry, you can drink two bottles of liquor with some seasonings, matches, and cigarettes.

Once you drink it all in one gulp, you won’t have to worry about whether you will have food in the future.

"It's a pity that my fishing rod is gone. I wanted to catch some fish." At this time, Lao Xing looked back.

There was a fishing rod where they fell, but it had shaken off in the middle and is now broken.

Others also had fishing rods, but it was difficult to dig in the large area of ​​mud.

At the same time, Zhang Feng heard about the "wooden stick" and turned back in the curious eyes of everyone and took back the fishing rod with a handle section 75 cm long.

It is made of thick bamboo, very strong and heavy.

It just so happened that Lao Xing and another person didn’t have weapons yet, so they could fill in the gaps temporarily.

"Your rod." Zhang Feng put the broken rod back in place and handed it to Old Xing. "It's better than having nothing at all."

"I really didn't expect that..." Old Xing stroked his beard and said, "Thinking about it carefully, my fishing rod can really be used as a weapon."

He demonstrated to Zhang Feng, "Look, twist the handle at the back to lock the rod inside.

My rods have turnbuckles at the end to prevent the caps from falling off and causing the rods to move around.

"Awesome." Zhang Feng thought it was quite interesting when he saw him lock the bar by twisting the end.

I didn’t expect this to be so high-tech, like the lightsaber in Star Wars.

But in reality, this was the 80s, and no one had mobile phones. There was no way to ask for help, and we could only save ourselves.

"Five days?" Zhang Feng thought to himself, looking up at the road ahead.

It is estimated to be more than 20 meters high, with slanted walls and a smooth and vertical part in the middle.

A world of princes with the highest martial arts skills.

Zhang Feng felt that he should be able to climb up, but now, he could only wait and see what kind of rescue would come in five days. "Take a stone..." The strong man interrupted Zhang Feng's thoughts and slowly approached the tunnel.

"Here." The man in front gave the strong man a stone.

Crash-

The burly man threw it in and shone a flashlight.

When the light shone, there was a bend twenty meters into the tunnel. The stone hit the bend and stopped, and the light also stopped on the rock wall.

"Let's look at the other tunnels." The strong man started throwing stones into other tunnels again.

Zhang Feng was observing the entrances of these tunnels.

There are seven in total, five of which are generally more than two meters high. Some of them can accommodate two or three people walking side by side, while others can only accommodate one person walking sideways.

There are two small tunnels left, only half a meter high, and people have to crawl through them.

Zhang Feng first rejected the two smaller ones and the one lying sideways.

Because if you really encounter something in here, it would be a real narrow encounter.

At the same time, the strong man, along with Brother Liu and two others, were also looking at the two-meter-high tunnels.

Forget the small tunnel.

They don't want to squeeze either.

Crash-

A few minutes passed, and after the four avenues had thrown their stones, there was still no response.

Everyone gathered again, but they were still clueless.

Because there is no wind in these tunnels, it is eerily quiet.

Of course, whether there is wind or not, it is impossible to completely determine whether there is an exit in the opposite direction.

"Which tunnel should we start from?" The burly man looked at everyone.

No one had any suggestions.

Zhang Feng pointed randomly and asked, "Let's start with the first one on the left?"

"left?"

"Is that that one?"

“Why did you choose this?”

Everyone looked at it and had many questions.

Then, since no one had any better suggestions, they followed Zhang Feng's random suggestion and began exploring the first tunnel.

rustle-

Slowly walking in from the entrance, everyone lined up in a row with their bodies staggered.

The strong man in the front leads the way, and Brother Liu in the second place holds the light.

Because Zhang Feng had a knife and looked stronger than the others, he walked in third.

Following them were Old Xing in the middle, the girl behind him, and the last few people.

Ta Ta -

At this moment, the only sounds in the tunnel were the footsteps of people slowly exploring forward.

There were no rats or anything in the tunnel, but there were some small bones that looked like those of rats.

There are also some creatures shedding their skin on the ground, but we don’t know what kind of creatures they are.

"What kind of animal is this? Is it a snake?" Someone picked it up, looked at it, and handed it to the girl.

The girl has a lot of research on animals.

But she looked at it for a while under the light and shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't seen it."

Her words made everyone feel that something was not right.

Zhang Feng also picked up a piece of shed skin and looked at it, but he had no memory of it in the past few decades.

"Be careful."

That's all I can say.

Fortunately, half an hour later, everyone reached the end. There were no monsters here, only a dead end.

But there are some animal scratches on many places on the wall.

"We've reached the top." Zhang Feng saw that they had reached the end, so he suggested going back.

No one said much.

Less than half an hour.

Everyone returned to the original path again.

Perhaps because of his experience in the tunnel, Lao Xing was the first to speak this time, pointing to the second tunnel on the left.

Keep going.

Zhang Feng is still in third place.

But it was different from everyone else who looked around carefully.

Zhang Feng's eyes were always on the wrists of his left and right arms.

Another ten minutes or so passed.

The muscles in both wrists began to twitch slowly.

After a little more than an hour, Zhang Feng opened two meridians of the Great Demon Subduing Fist.

But Zhang Feng did not choose to practice resonance, but looked at the two veins in the palms of his hands.

I continued to drive it, but it still didn't vibrate.

Because there is not enough food now, it cannot replenish the energy consumed to improve physical fitness.

Furthermore, if you are shaken, it will consume your energy, just like you have just finished exercising.

Zhang Feng didn't want to encounter "some underground creature" when he was "exhausted".

But now, as long as it is turned on, Zhang Feng can carry out an "overclocking" attack.

Resonance makes overclocking fixed and permanent.

'Now the two veins on the wrist have been opened, and the knife is used again.

Add to that a physical strength of nearly 15, even if a leopard pops out of the cave, he can kill it with one blow.

With nearly seventy or eighty years of martial arts experience, Zhang Feng is still very confident in himself.

Of course, Zhang Feng also thought that he might be killed by the leopard.

Then just kill it, at worst you can just restart it, what else can you do.

"Five days, and I can't really improve my strength. I can only make do with it for now."

Zhang Feng was thinking that he was using the best solution to improve his current physical strength.

But then, crash—

Suddenly, there was a sound of gravel breaking in front of the tunnel.

"Be careful..." The strong man in the lead subconsciously bent down and blocked his chest with the hatchet.

"Turn on the flashlight." Brother Liu, who is now ranked fourth, asked someone to shine the flashlight forward.

As the man shone the flashlight forward, a faint shadow appeared at the corner of the dark tunnel about fifty meters ahead.

"What it is?"

"Is it a beast?"

"Look at the shadow, does it look like a person?"

"Human? Could it be... a ghost?"

Such a dark and narrow environment, and the appearance of this shadow, made the strong man and others feel a chill down their spines.

Two others looked at the direction they came from behind them, and someone else looked up, fearing that some ghost thing would suddenly appear.

"Why don't we turn back?" Old Xing in the middle suggested that everyone go back.

"Go back..." Several people responded.

"Let's take a look." Brother Liu was calmer.

But no one responded yet.

"squeak!"

The shadow suddenly jumped out.

It is about one and a half meters long, but walks upright like humans.

Its body is like a thinner gorilla, but its head is like a mouse.

Under the light, its small black eyes emitted a strange red light.

"Ghost?!" Everyone was startled and subconsciously ran back.

"Squeak!" This underground creature ran very fast, with its four limbs running parallel and its claws like a tiger or leopard.

Zhang Feng saw that this creature crawled much faster than humans, so he knew it couldn't escape.

"If you fight hard, you might still have a chance to survive. If you turn your back on it, you will really die."

Zhang Feng, holding a knife, squeezed past the big man in front.

"Brother Zhang!" The strong man shouted, trying to urge Zhang Feng to hurry up, and looked at the man behind him whose legs were weak, "Hurry up!"

Faced with this strange underground creature, everyone was in a panic.

Some people's legs went weak and they stood still.

Someone is pushing the weak person forward.

Zhang Feng turned on the flashlight, put it on the ground, and walked towards the underground creature with a knife.

"Squeak!" The underground creature let out a shrill cry and crawled towards Zhang Feng at a faster speed.

Zhang Feng judged the distance, and when it approached about three meters from him, he suddenly drew his knife and slashed horizontally towards its head!

But at this moment, it suddenly jumped up, curled its tail upwards, and grabbed the wall with its barbs.

At first glance, because of the dim light, it seemed as if it was retreating strangely and floating in the air, easily avoiding Zhang Feng's knife.

At the same time, it swung its tail on the wall and grabbed Zhang Feng's face with its sharp claws.

Zhang Fengzhao jumped back to avoid it, and saw it return to the wall again.

"A gecko crawling on a wall? Flying through the air? Is it really a ghost?"

Zhang Feng was shocked and stepped back repeatedly, thinking that it had some strange abilities.

But after it chased for two steps, Zhang Feng heard a creaking sound as it moved on the rock wall, as if some sharp object was scratching the stone wall.

"It doesn't have any secrets, it just has barbs on its limbs and tail!"

Zhang Feng's mind flashed, his footsteps raised a cloud of dust on the ground, and he dodged to the side to avoid its grab from above.

call-

It jumped to the ground and looked at Zhang Feng again.

Zhang Feng stood there, with his back against the wall, holding the hatchet in reverse with the tip facing downwards.

Ta-ta-ta—

The strong man was afraid that Zhang Feng was in danger, so he came over to support him with a hatchet in his hand.

Even though he was very scared, he didn't want to leave his friends behind.

The others had already hidden far away, and only looked at this side from afar.

Zhang Feng, however, kept looking at the underground creature, and said to the side and back: "Don't come over, don't cause trouble, I can't take care of you."

The moment the words fell, the strong man hadn't reacted yet.

The subterranean creature in front pounced on Zhang Feng again.

This time, Zhang Feng did not slash horizontally, but swung his right arm, and the sword light tilted upward, blocking all routes above.

"Squeak!" The burrow creature repeated its old trick, trying to hook its tail onto the rock above.

At this time, Zhang Feng kicked the wall behind him and suddenly jumped forward. He tilted the blade upward and chopped it down from above with his backhand, cutting towards its neck.

The crypt creature managed to turn its head, but a slight sound of flesh being cut was still heard at the skin of its neck.

Zhang Feng did not pause. At the moment it dodged, he suddenly turned around in mid-air and used the strength of his waist to clench his left fist into a cannon fist and punched out, "plop" hitting it right in the chest.

The feeling of fist hitting flesh made Zhang Feng feel like he was hitting a thick piece of cowhide.

Its heart was hit, and its strength was dispersed. It was unable to gain any support in mid-air and rolled to the ground.

Huhu—

After it fell, it was trying to get up with its arms.

Zhang Feng quickly approached, turned his wrist, came in front of the crypt creature, swung his sword vertically, drew a waning moon in the dim light, and beheaded the crypt creature.

The next second, the head and body fell to the ground.

There was only the sound of blood flowing, and everything was quiet.

The people in the distance also stood there in shock.

Only the strong man subconsciously took a few steps forward and asked Zhang Feng: "You...you...are you not hurt?"

The strong man's voice trembled. He didn't expect that Zhang Feng really killed a "monster".

"I'm not hurt."

Zhang Feng wiped the sticky blood that splashed on his face and shook his sore arms. "But I have to say, this thing is really intimidating. I almost got caught in its flying and escaping trap."
