A moment later, Luo Chen felt his fingers touch a round, hard object.

He immediately pulled his hand out and looked at the bead in his hand.

The bead was semi-transparent, its surface covered in blood.

Luo Chen shook it off, then wiped it on the Man-Eating Wild Dog's fur, which finally cleaned it up considerably.

“Is this an attribute crystal?”

Luo Chen curiously examined the small object, which was about the size of a marble.

—

【attribute crystal (Strength)】

【Quality: white】

【Can increase Strength attribute by 1 point after use, up to a maximum of 10 points!】

—

“Increases Strength attribute by 1 point, up to a maximum of 10 points? Does that mean I can only use a maximum of ten such attribute crystals?”

“However, I didn’t expect attribute crystals to have quality. Does that mean higher quality attribute crystals can increase more attribute points? I suppose so.”

Luo Chen held the white attribute crystal in his hand, then rubbed it vigorously on his clothes. After completely cleaning it, he directly threw it into his mouth!

Yes, you read that right.

The way to use an attribute crystal is to eat it directly!

You don't have to worry about choking.

Because this thing, once thrown into your mouth, directly transforms into a liquid and flows down your throat.

【Strength +1】

Luo Chen opened his character panel to check.

His original 5 points of Strength attribute had indeed increased by 1 point, reaching 6 points.

“A good start, not bad!”

Unranked beasts only have a chance to produce attribute crystals within their bodies, but this probability is clearly not high.

For Luo Chen to find an attribute crystal in the first beast he killed, wasn't that a good start!

This was a good thing.

It implied that Luo Chen’s harvest today would still be good.

“Continue, let’s see if there are any other Man-Eating Wild Dogs lurking nearby.”

Luo Chen glanced at the Man-Eating Wild Dog's corpse on the ground, thought for a moment, then grabbed one of its legs and forcefully threw it away.

Man-Eating Wild Dogs cannot be eaten, at least not raw!

God knows if the meat of these Man-Eating Wild Dogs carries some kind of virus or something.

Even if it were cooked, Luo Chen couldn't guarantee that eating it wouldn't cause problems.

So, instead of taking that risk, it was better to throw it far away and see if it could attract other Man-Eating Wild Dogs or other beasts nearby.

After throwing the Man-Eating Wild Dog's corpse away, Luo Chen went around to the front of the refrigerator that was lying on its side on the ground.

Inside the open refrigerator door were some foul-smelling, rotten foods.

Getting closer, he could smell a terrible stench!

“Indeed!”

Luo Chen shook his head. Although he had guessed it early, seeing these spoiled and rotten foods still made him feel regretful.

It would have been great if they hadn't spoiled.

...

A few minutes later, Luo Chen, hiding behind a large rock, heard a rustling of footsteps.

He peeked out and looked ahead.

Sure enough, he saw a emaciated Man-Eating Wild Dog running over from a distance.

This Man-Eating Wild Dog's target was very clear: the corpse of its kin not far away on the ground.

For Man-Eating Wild Dogs, let alone the corpses of their own kind, when they are extremely hungry, they even eat the flesh that falls off their own bodies!

Eating themselves, how ruthless is that?

“Only one, that’s great!”

Luo Chen's eyes lit up when he saw the Man-Eating Wild Dog running over.

If too many Man-Eating Wild Dogs were attracted, Luo Chen really wouldn't be able to handle them.

After all, his current strength was still very weak.

Although his talent had infinite potential, potential was still potential, and before it was converted into actual strength, it could not give him enough sense of security.

Attracting only one Man-Eating Wild Dog was very good.

It was just within Luo Chen's ability to kill it without taking damage!

The Man-Eating Wild Dog, attracted by the smell of blood, was now pouncing on its kin's corpse, tearing at it with large bites.

Luo Chen also took the opportunity to activate his Swift Travel skill, taking a swift step forward and delivering a fierce kick to the Man-Eating Wild Dog, which hadn't noticed him.

His 6 points of Strength were much greater than before.

One kick directly sent the emaciated Man-Eating Wild Dog flying two or three meters away.

Pffft~!

The sharp dagger followed immediately, stabbing into the Man-Eating Wild Dog's neck.

He struck once and retreated.

Luo Chen quickly retreated ten meters.

Then he watched as the Man-Eating Wild Dog over there struggled several times, trying to get up but failing. Not only that, it also tore open the wound on its neck a second time, causing more blood to spray out from its neck.

A moment later—

A large puddle of fresh blood had accumulated beneath the Man-Eating Wild Dog's body.

It wasn't moving, so it should be dead.

However, the cautious Luo Chen still threw a few stones at it first.

After confirming it had no reaction, he quickly moved forward.

Slaaash~!

A dagger sliced open the Man-Eating Wild Dog's abdomen.

Luo Chen didn't mind the mess and directly reached in to rummage.

After a while, Luo Chen withdrew his hand with a disappointed expression.

“It's not there!”

He shook his head, knowing he was being a bit greedy.

The probability of attribute crystals forming in beasts was already low; finding one in the first beast was already lucky. Did he expect to find a second one consecutively?

That would be a bit wishful thinking!

Wiping the blood from his hands, Luo Chen repeated his trick and threw the Man-Eating Wild Dog's corpse aside.

He even deliberately threw this corpse a bit further away from the first one.

This way, even if two or more Man-Eating Wild Dogs came, he could use the positions of these two corpses to create distance between them, allowing Luo Chen to defeat them one by one.

After doing all this, Luo Chen once again hid behind the large rock from before.

Continuing to wait for prey to take the bait!

A few more minutes passed, and this time, a full three Man-Eating Wild Dogs arrived.

Luo Chen observed from behind the large rock. When he saw two of the Man-Eating Wild Dogs eyeing the more intact corpse, he knew his chance had come.

So he immediately activated his Swift Travel skill, then rushed forward at his fastest speed to first deal with the lone Man-Eating Wild Dog.

By the time he had dealt with this Man-Eating Wild Dog, the other two Man-Eating Wild Dogs had only just turned their heads to look.

Facing two opponents, Luo Chen immediately kicked one of the Man-Eating Wild Dogs, sending it flying.

Then he dodged the other Man-Eating Wild Dog that lunged at him, trying to bite him, and with a backhand, he slashed a deep, bone-exposing wound on one of its hind legs.

The Man-Eating Wild Dog that had landed roared, still trying to pounce.

But its injured hind leg had greatly affected its mobility.

Seizing this opportunity, Luo Chen first dealt with the other Man-Eating Wild Dog.

Finally, he finished off the Man-Eating Wild Dog with limited mobility.

“Hoo~!”

After successfully eliminating the three Man-Eating Wild Dogs, Luo Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

He hadn't had time to think too much during the battle.

But now that the battle was over, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a little scared.
