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

Instead of slowing down gradually, the car braked suddenly, the tires screeching as they rubbed against the ground, followed by shouts of battle coming from the front of the convoy.

Lin Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Using the headlights of the cars ahead, he saw that the convoy had stopped and someone was shouting from the roof of one of the cars.

"Over there! There are some over there too."

"Hold on, hold on!" A voice howled mournfully in the night wind, as if it were being torn apart by something.

Lin Feng sensed a chilling aura emanating from all directions, a chilling presence that sent shivers down his spine.

His back tensed instantly, and he channeled his spiritual energy into his eyes.

This is the most basic use of psychic energy by awakened individuals, which can greatly enhance their perception and even allow them to see things that ordinary people cannot.

The moment the psychic energy flooded my eyes, the world became clear.

Less than 50 meters in front of Lin Feng, a completely black creature was running rapidly towards him.

It looks like a large dog, its body shrouded in black mist, with scarlet eyes and claws as sharp as daggers. Most frightening of all is its mouth, which splits open from the base of its ears to reveal two rows of dense, saw-like teeth.

Lin Feng subconsciously took two steps back, reached behind him, and touched the two giant mandibles of stag beetles hanging on the side of his backpack.

This thing was taken off the beetle's corpse by Lin Feng before he left. At that time, Xiao Xuan had eaten most of the beetle, but the pair of sickle-shaped mandibles were intact and sharp enough to be used as knives. When Lin Feng was packing his things, he casually hung it on his backpack.

I didn't expect to use it so soon.

Lin Feng had just taken the giant jaw off his backpack, and hadn't even gotten a firm grip on it yet.

A black figure darted out from beside my feet in a flash.

Lin Feng looked down and saw that Xiao Xuan was gone.

"Xiao Xuan!"

Lin Feng shouted, but it was too late. He watched helplessly as Xiao Xuan rushed towards the strange creature.

The strange creature clearly hadn't anticipated a turtle's speed; a flicker of surprise crossed its crimson eyes. But its instincts were faster than its brain, and its dagger-like claws swung down towards Xiao Xuan's shell.

"laugh……"

The claws scraped across the tortoise shell, making a harsh, grating sound that made Lin Feng's teeth ache.

But Xiao Xuan didn't react at all, and didn't even try to dodge.

Xiao Xuan suddenly opened its mouth and bit down on the strange foreleg.

Click...

It didn't sound like bones breaking; it sounded like fragile glass shattering. The eerie leg exploded as Xiao Xuan bit it, turning into a cloud of black mist.

The thing let out a sharp roar, and Lin Feng's mind went blank for a moment, almost causing him to lose his balance.

"This damn thing."

By the time Lin Feng came to his senses, Xiao Xuan had already taken another bite, this time biting into the strange neck.

Click...

The eerie, scarlet eyes dimmed at a visible speed, and then its entire body began to disintegrate. Starting from its bitten neck, cracks spread like a spider web, and finally, with a bang, it turned into a cloud of black mist and dissipated in the night wind.

Only a bead the size of a soybean remained, gleaming faintly.

[Slayed a level 0 Ghost Hound, gained 0.5 evolution points, current evolution points: 1]

"There are evolution points for killing monsters?"

Thinking about it later, it makes sense. Why shouldn't killing monsters earn you evolution points?

However, what I didn't expect was that Xiao Xuan would be this strong. From rushing out to killing him, it only took a few seconds.

"Xiao Xuan, well done!"

Lin Feng ran forward, bent down, and picked up the bead from the ground.

Mysterious Crystal

This must be the mysterious crystal that Chen Min was talking about.

The bead was only the size of a soybean, with a smooth surface. Lin Feng could sense an energy within the bead, and he could absorb the energy from this strange crystal.

The feeling was amazing; his body's instincts told him that absorbing it would make him stronger.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng grasped the Ghost Crystal and instinctively guided the spiritual energy within his body to touch it. The Ghost Crystal seemed to melt, flowing into his body along his arm. The energy eventually gathered in his lower abdomen, forming a small vortex there.

[Absorbed one Level 0 Mystic Crystal]

[Awakened Level 0 (5%)]

Lin Feng's eyes lit up. One Mysterious Crystal grants 5% progress, meaning that with 19 more, he can become a Level 1 Awakener.

What changes will occur in a Level 1 Awakener? No one told him, but that didn't dampen Lin Feng's burning passion.

Lin Feng looked at the convoy ahead, where the shouts of battle were deafening, and there was something even more eerie there.

According to past patterns, these strange beasts become more active at night, especially around midnight. They instinctively gather in places where life force is concentrated. The more people there are and the denser the life force, the more strange beasts there will be.

The convoy had to travel in the dark every night, and if they stayed too long, strange things would come rushing in like a tide.

Lin Feng, holding one of the giant jaws in each hand as a weapon, shouted to Xiao Xuan beside him.

"Xiao Xuan, keep up."

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng reached the back of the convoy.

The convoy was in complete chaos.

The number of the strange creatures was far greater than Lin Feng had imagined; it wasn't just a few, but dozens or even hundreds of them that resembled rats.

These creatures are quite large, each one comparable in size to a domestic cat, and their numbers are astonishing. They have eyes that glow with a scarlet light and teeth that are ridiculously large.

The crowd had become chaotic.

Those riding bicycles and tricycles were the first to suffer. The eerie creature emerged from the darkness, pounced on the crowd, and bit their throats, arms, and thighs with sharp teeth, causing screams to rise and fall.

The crowd rushed frantically toward the center of the convoy, scattering bicycles, tricycles, and supplies everywhere. Some people tripped and fell, and before they could get up, they were pounced on by several strange creatures.

"Open the door, open the door!" Someone was banging on the car window, trying to sneak inside, but the people inside kept the doors tightly shut, trembling inside, too afraid to open them.

The patrolmen are resisting.

Patrolmen on pickup trucks and vans equipped with protective fences, armed with steel knives and spears, fought against the strange creatures climbing onto the vehicle frames. However, they were too few in number and the convoy was too long to handle the situation. Moreover, there were too many strange creatures, and they also had unpredictable mental attacks that ordinary people could not defend against.

When Lin Feng rushed over, dozens of people were already lying on the ground, watching helplessly as a strange rat tore at a child's throat, blood flowing everywhere.

Lin Feng's hand involuntarily tightened around his weapon, not out of anger.

It's because of the Mysterious Crystal; every strange rat has a Mysterious Crystal inside its body.

"Xiao Xuan, go."

Lin Feng shouted and charged at the nearest strange rat, wielding his scythe-shaped giant jaws.

The monstrous beast was pouncing on a female college student who had fallen to the ground, its huge mouth open as it was about to bite her throat. The girl's eyes were filled with despair. Just then, Lin Feng brought down a giant jaw.

"laugh……"

The giant jaws severed the eerie head, and the eerie body immediately turned into mist and dissipated, leaving a bead on its chest...

Just as the other party was still in shock, Lin Feng picked up the fallen strange crystal from the other party's chest and even touched it.

"You're welcome, it feels nice..."
