Chapter 447: Chapter 19: High Risk, High Reward
[You have killed the Yasenman Clan Chieftain]
[The ’Yasenman Clan Chieftain’ is a key figure in the Red Soil Area, gaining 8% of World Source, now a total of 8% of World Source obtained.]
[You have obtained the Chief’s Package.]
Su Xiao lay on the hillside, he hadn’t rested for long when he suddenly heard urgent footsteps approaching.
Struggling to sit up, Su Xiao looked around.
On a distant hillside, a figure could be seen running away, conspicuous in the night, completely white and naked.
This was Umbrella Brother, a tenacious survivor. Previously pierced through the eye socket with a wooden spear, incredibly, he still hadn’t died.
Though not dead, the misfortunes along the way left Umbrella Brother half-alive.
After witnessing the battle between Su Xiao and the red-skinned natives on the hillside, Umbrella Brother’s only thought was to run.
Three red-skinned natives could already hold him down, while the strongman on the hillside dealt with dozens at once and ultimately won, leaving Umbrella Brother too frightened to breathe.
After the hillside battle ended, Umbrella Brother regained some stamina. Although the strongman seemed exhausted, Umbrella Brother didn’t want to risk it; his first reaction was to escape, the farther, the better.
Survival was enough; that guy was abnormally strong, and he didn’t want to go near his battlefield.
...
When Su Xiao noticed Umbrella Brother, he had already sprinted far away.
"Haha, I survived, fortune will follow disaster, I’ll fu...ah!!"
After running a safe distance, Umbrella Brother began to boast loudly, venting his frustration, but his shouts soon turned to screams and grew more distant.
"That side, it seems to be a cliff..."
If Su Xiao remembered correctly, indeed, that side was a cliff; he had observed the terrain earlier in the day.
Umbrella Brother, after escaping from the indigenous tribe, ’jumped off the cliff.’
Bubu Wang looked in the direction where Umbrella Brother disappeared, its face swollen like a balloon, seeming somewhat wistful, as if saying: ’This guy really knows how to play.’
Ignoring Umbrella Brother’s ’exciting journey’, after resting on the ground for a while, Su Xiao’s body regained sensation.
Picking up the nearby Chief’s Package, an item similar to a treasure chest, he had obtained such items in War World once.
This special ’treasure chest’ had a lot of randomness, possibly yielding highly valuable items or completely worthless ones.
Storing the Chief’s Package for now, the situation wasn’t suitable for opening it. Su Xiao pulled out several broken spears stuck in his body, the immense pain piercing his nerves, making his vision go black.
After stitching and bandaging the wounds, Su Xiao exhaled deeply.
Looking at the empty tribe in the distance, the enemies were dealt with, it was harvest time, and he was starving.
Descending the hillside, Su Xiao searched the tribe with a strong flashlight, finishing off the heavily injured red-skinned natives in passing.
Searching among dozens of tents wasn’t easy.
Each tent contained jerky, but the jerky looked suspicious, so Su Xiao didn’t eat any of it.
Searching through the tents one by one, he soon reached the largest tent at the center.
Although this tent was just as simple, it contained a lot of things.
After searching for a while, Su Xiao made a decent haul, finding a ’roasted whole pig’. Although uncertain if this creature was a pig, it was definitely edible, certified by Reincarnation Paradise.
[Charcoal Roasted Barbar]
Quality: Blue
Type: Healing items
Effect: Restores 100% Life Value and alleviates fatigue within one hour after use.
Rating: 56
Introduction: Despite its odd name, this is a delicious treat cooked with herbs and charcoal, only the leader in the tribe is entitled to enjoy it.
...
Su Xiao not only found a [Charcoal Roasted Barbar], but he also found several bamboo tubes of fresh water.
Tasting a small sip, the water was sweet, probably mountain spring water.
With food and water temporarily secured, Su Xiao wasn’t in a hurry to eat or drink, instead continuing his search in the tents. He needed to leave as soon as possible, the heavy scent of blood could attract other creatures.
After searching for a while, Su Xiao found a clay pot.
The pot was crude, but for the red-skinned natives, it should be a treasure-level item.
Shaking the pot, there was something inside. To be safe, Su Xiao placed the pot on the ground, stepped back a few steps, and smashed it with a stone.
When the pot shattered, several translucent crystal stones rolled out, bringing a smile to Su Xiao’s face.
Rolling out from the pot were five Soul Crystals (Medium) and a small bamboo tube.
Having five Soul Crystals (Medium) was already a fortune, high risk and high reward.
As for the small bamboo tube, it held a value that somehow surpassed the Soul Crystals.
[Unknown Creature’s Feces Powder]
Quality: White
Type: Material
Rating: 5
Introduction: Feces of a certain creature in the Black Forest, processed into powder form.
...
On paper, this didn’t seem useful, but that wasn’t the case.
This must be feces from an extremely terrifying creature, its feces rated at 5 points, bordering on unfathomable.
The scent of this terrifying creature would make other creatures fear; sprinkling this feces powder near a camp at night would keep most creatures away.
As such, Su Xiao could get ample sleep, increasing the probability of surviving ten days.
After looting, Su Xiao left the basin quickly, heading straight for a valley in the distance.
This was the location he selected during the day; inside the valley was a cave, free from signs of habitation by any creatures.
Five minutes later, Su Xiao arrived in front of the cave where he had placed traps that hadn’t been triggered, reassuring him greatly.
Sprinkling a circle of Unknown Creature’s Feces Powder at the cave entrance, the feces were precious and had to be used sparingly.
Even sparingly, the feces could be used only five times; too little, and it wouldn’t work.
Dragging several large stones from nearby to block the cave entrance, Su Xiao relaxed inside the cave.
The cave wasn’t deep, only about five meters, sitting on a pad of dry grass he laid down earlier, he finally reached a relatively safe place.
Fatigue washed over him, and Su Xiao wanted nothing more than to sleep.
"Woof."
Bubu Wang’s eyes were fixed on the [Charcoal Roasted Barbar], drooling already.
Su Xiao cut the [Charcoal Roasted Barbar] in half, although the item wasn’t small, it was just enough for him and Bubu Wang to eat once.
When starving, anything tasted like a delicacy, not to mention the [Charcoal Roasted Barbar] was indeed delicious.
Half of the [Charcoal Roasted Barbar] in his belly, Su Xiao picked up a bamboo tube, gulps of mountain spring water flowing down his throat.
Bubu Wang did the same, the man and dog in uncanny synchronization.
With food resolved and enough water intake, Su Xiao began feeling drowsy, as did Bubu Wang.
Lying on the dry grass, it wasn’t long before Su Xiao fell into a deep sleep. As for vigilance, he could only leave that to fate, considering massive blood loss plus penetration injuries and the remaining Arrow Poison Frog Poison in him. The fact that he was still alive testified to his tenacity, making vigilance during sleep impossible.
He needed to survive a total of ten days, having currently survived less than one day.
If the survival difficulty of the ordinary area was 2, then the Red Soil Area was 10, and the Black Forest was at least 50.
[Remaining survival time 227 hours, number of living Contractors 462.]
