Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

From then on, no one in the convoy dared to commit any crimes under her watchful eye.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare.

The woman was standing right in front of Lin Feng, and it almost made his hair stand on end.

"No, no!" Lin Feng quickly stood up, his smile looking more like a grimace.

"If Sister Min wants to eat, feel free to come. I have plenty. Come, have a seat!"

As Lin Feng spoke, he vacated the stone stool he had been using as a bench and wiped it with his sleeve.

Chen Min didn't stand on ceremony and sat down gracefully. Her bodycon skirt rode up slightly with the movement, revealing a section of her thigh covered by black stockings.

Lin Feng kept his eyes down, not daring to look too closely.

"Little brother," Chen Min spoke, her voice languid, "you...you've developed your own ability?"

Her gaze fell on the little Xuan that was munching on mud at Lin Feng's feet. She examined it carefully for a few seconds and said with certainty.

"It seems so. It's grown so big and can still hunt a mutated stag beetle on its own. It's very strong."

Lin Feng said modestly, "No, no, it was just luck. It was just luck. Sister Min, you can just call me by my name, or you can call me Xiao Feng."

Little brother?

You're the little brother.

I'm not small at all. You can try me if you don't believe me, and I guarantee you'll be crying for your parents.

Of course, Lin Feng only dared to complain in his heart and didn't dare to say a word out loud.

Chen Min smiled, her gaze passing over Lin Feng and landing on the stag beetle, her eyes brightening slightly.

"This is good stuff."

She stood up, walked over to the stag beetle, squatted down, and examined it closely. The huge beetle was lying on the ground, and green fluid was still oozing from the wound on its abdomen where it had been pierced by a stick.

Chen Min stretched out her fair hand, grasped one of the complete front legs, and gently pried it apart.

Click!

Lin Feng's eyes widened suddenly.

What he looked at was that foreleg, about the thickness of an arm, covered with a thick black carapace. He had just slashed it with a Swiss Army knife, but it hadn't left a single mark; it was ridiculously hard.

And Chen Min's seemingly delicate and boneless white hands were broken so easily.

It's like breaking a cucumber in half.

"What are you standing there for?"

Chen Min turned to Lin Feng and waved the insect leg in her hand: "Lend me your knife."

Lin Feng opened his mouth, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

I instinctively handed him the knife, my hand trembling slightly.

It wasn't fear, it was shock.

My dear Min-jie, aren't you supposed to have superhuman mental abilities? How could you so easily break off an insect's leg with those delicate little hands?

Chen Min took the knife, skillfully crushed the insect leg, then peeled off the broken shell, and took out the whole piece of white meat inside. Her cutting movements were quick and steady, and she cleaned up the insect leg in just a few strokes.

Then they started grilling. Unlike Lin Feng who cut the meat into small pieces, they cut the whole leg into large chunks, skewered them on tree branches, and grilled them directly over the fire.

Soon the aroma of the roasted meat became even stronger.

Lin Feng watched Chen Min's busy figure by the fire. The scene from earlier kept replaying in his mind and wouldn't go away. He couldn't help but look at his hands and then at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan lay on the ground, no longer gnawing on the mud, his bright eyes fixed on the roasted meat in Chen Min's hand.

"What's wrong?" Chen Min seemed to notice Lin Feng's gaze and understood what he was thinking.

"Were you scared?"

Lin Feng quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's just... Sister Min, aren't you a mental awakener? This strength...?"

"Oh, this?" Chen Min flipped the grilled meat in her hand, her tone very casual.

"It's normal that you don't know since you're not participating in the battle; you'll understand later."

She didn't elaborate, and Lin Feng didn't press her for details.

Chen Min removed the other insect legs and skewered them together for grilling. Soon, seven or eight skewers of insect leg meat were neatly arranged on the fire, sizzling with oil.

"I'll bake it for you, so you don't have to do it all by yourself."

Chen Min clapped her hands and sat back down on the rock.

"Eat more later, this is good food."

"Good stuff?" Lin Feng was taken aback.

Chen Min didn't explain, she just smiled and looked at the roasted meat, seemingly calculating the heat.

After about ten minutes, the insect leg meat was roasted, its surface golden brown and slightly charred, with oil dripping down the branches and sizzling on the charcoal fire.

Chen Min picked up a string of pearls, blew on it, and handed it to Lin Feng.

"Try it."

Lin Feng took it; large chunks of roasted meat were skewered on the branch, emitting a fragrant aroma.

I took a bite; the meat was still a little hot. I rolled it around on my tongue a few times before swallowing.

"Mmm, delicious, Sister Min, your cooking skills are amazing..." Lin Feng gave a thumbs up and praised without any hesitation.

I had only eaten two pieces of meat when a notification popped into my head.

[Using mutated stag beetle leg meat, Constitution +1, current Constitution 15.]

Lin Feng was stunned, staring blankly at the skewer of meat in his hand, then at Chen Min.

Chen Min was elegantly eating the skewer of meat in her hand when she noticed Lin Feng's gaze, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Now you know?" She took a bite of meat and said slowly, "The meat of these mutated creatures isn't just something that can fill your stomach."

Lin Feng swallowed hard, somewhat shocked.

"Eating more will increase our attributes," Chen Min continued. "Thanks to you today, I'm in for a treat. There aren't many edible mutated creatures like this. Most mutated creatures are inedible; they're either poisonous or their flesh is simply inedible. Eating them can cause vomiting and diarrhea at best, and death on the spot at worst."

Lin Feng silently ate two more pieces.

[Constitution +1, Current Constitution: 16]

I added a little more, and the effect is so good?

"You've seen quite a few attacks these past few days, haven't you?" Chen Min said while eating.

"Although most of them are inedible, the edible ones, once eaten, can increase our attributes. Of course..." She paused.

He continued, "Besides these, there are other things that can also enhance our strength."

"What is it?" Lin Feng asked instinctively.

"Weird!"

Lin Feng paused for a moment.

Weird?

Lin Feng remembered that during the day, the fleeing convoy had to be wary of attacks by mutated creatures, and at night, there was something even more terrifying.

That's the eerie thing. It's shrouded in black mist, and many people in the convoy died at its hands.

"It's one of those weird things that appear at night."

"Yes, that's it. The most common type of this is the animal spirit. It can not only affect a person's mind, but it is also very difficult to kill. However, after killing it... you can obtain a spirit crystal."

"Strange Crystal!" This was another new term that Lin Feng had never heard of before.

"Hmm, something shiny, like beads." Chen Min pulled a red string from around her neck, the end of which revealed a small cloth pouch from a deep cleavage.

She opened the cloth bag, poured out something, and showed it to Lin Feng in her palm.

Lin Feng leaned closer and saw a white bead about the size of a marble, with a smooth surface and something flowing inside.

"This thing can increase our level." Chen Min put away the ghost crystal and placed the cloth bag back into the chest area, where only a thin red rope could still be faintly seen.

I thought this woman was giving it to me, but she took it back. What's the meaning of this?

However, seeing the cloth bag disappear, he secretly complained to himself, "Was it really necessary to hide it so well?"

But this 'mysterious crystal' is really white...
