C10 Corpse Eater

They stumbled and stumbled along the way. The black shadow seemed to be deliberately letting them run for a while before stopping. It kept a close distance from Xu Zhitian and the others.

Unknowingly, they had chased into the mountain. The rugged mountain road became harder to walk in the middle of the night. It was full of potholes and broken branches. If they were not careful, they would fall to the ground. They did not even know if they would fall or not, let alone run.

On the mountain road, because the black shadow was on all fours, it was not affected at all.

The mountain was unusually quiet. One could only hear the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

The bright moonlight shone on the road ahead. As the mountain road was rising, from Xu Zhitian's angle, the mountain road that was illuminated by the moonlight was like a stairway leading to the Heavenly Palace. One could not see the end of it at a glance.

"Warning. Stamina is less than 10. Please replenish it as soon as possible."

Just as Xu Zhitian was trying his best to catch up with the black shadow, the system suddenly said.

In fact, Xu Zhitian had already expected this result. Stamina had something to do with Stamina! He was already tired from all the trouble Xu Zhitian had gone through to chase after the black shadow. Naturally, his physical strength would decrease at a speed that was twice as fast as usual.

Looking behind him, Lee Jun and Li Jie were panting from exhaustion. At this moment, they were supporting each other as they ran forward. It would be good if they didn't fall down, let alone chase.

"Let's rest for a while. We can't keep chasing like this!"

Xu Zhitian picked a flat piece of ground. After cleaning it a little, he sat down on the ground. Lee Jun and Li Jie sat next to him.

The three of them were gasping for breath. They wanted to suck the air in the whole world into their lungs. Because they were running too fast, the three of them were in a state of extreme lack of oxygen. Xu Zhitian was the most serious. He even felt a little dizzy. The moment he sat on the ground, his eyes turned black and he almost fainted.

"Backpack, take out a bottle of stamina recovery potion!"

As soon as Xu Zhitian finished speaking, a bottle of green liquid appeared in his hand. Xu Zhitian smiled, thinking it was really convenient. It was just a sentence.

He opened the recovery potion and drank it all in one breath. The feeling of having a full meal appeared again. Xu Zhitian's breathing gradually became calm. His physical strength should have recovered to 100 again.

Lee Jun, Li Jie, did not have this kind of treatment, so they could only recover slowly with time.

For the first time, Xu Zhitian felt that having a system was a pretty good thing. Although it was in the game, it was like carrying a kaleidoscope and a kaleidoscope with him.

He had experienced a lot of things like entering the game to clear the levels, but the content inside was rather monotonous. It wasn't that you were the main character, but that you used the remote control to control the main character to fight. As for the menu interface, it had been set long before entering the game, and NPCs would only run according to the designated program. The first time would feel fresh, and the second time would be used to it. The third time would be boring.

To be honest, it was a strong 5D game experience!

Xu Zhitian was walking around like this. Following a super intelligent system and becoming the main character of the game, he didn't need anyone to control it. He could check his own attributes anytime and anywhere. A system like this probably couldn't be developed with 2166's science technology.

Therefore, Xu Zhitian was even more curious about why this Spirit Crystal Collection System had appeared.

However, Xu Zhitian had asked this question several times, and the System had never answered it.

"What should we do? The black shadow has already escaped. Where should we find it?" Lee Jun asked.

Xu Zhitian looked around. Yes, the surroundings were dark. When they stopped to rest, the black shadow had already disappeared without a trace.

Although he did not catch it, Xu Zhitian had already determined that the series of strange things that had happened in Mu Village recently had something to do with the black shadow. If the black shadow was an intelligent creature, as long as he caught it, everything would be revealed.

"You guys rest here first. I will check the surroundings. When I come back later, I will find you guys. Don't wander around." Xu Zhitian reminded them.

"Okay. You have to be careful too." Lee Jun and Li Jie said at the same time.

Xu Zhitian held the wooden sword in his hand and carefully walked towards the direction where the black shadow had run.

"Lord System, where is my exact location now?"

"Domain of Happiness, Mu Village, Xie Dingshan." The system quickly gave an answer.

"Then what kind of monsters will appear on Xie Dingshan?"

Xu Zhitian asked because he wanted to get some valuable clues through the system. Judging from the way the black shadow landed on all fours, it was definitely something similar to a monster. Anyway, it could not be a human.

"There is only one type of monster that will spawn from Xie Ding Mountain. That is - Corpse Eating Beast!" The System said truthfully.

"What!"

Xu Zhitian was shocked when he heard these three words. Corpse Eating Beast? Judging from its name, could it be a monster that eats corpses?

However, when Xu Zhitian asked the system to introduce the Corpse Eating Beast in detail, he failed.

"The illustrated handbook is not open yet. I can't answer for you!"

Xu Zhitian thought to himself that this system was really troublesome. What handbook did this have to do with it? Forget it. No matter what, Xu Zhitian already roughly knew the culprit of Mu Village's rebellion. It was the Corpse Eating Beast!

If the Corpse Eating Beast was really a monster that ate corpses, then the incident of the villagers' bodies disappearing without a reason was easy to explain.

Xu Zhitian's guess was that when the villagers went down the mountain to pick up the shoulder pole, the corpses of the villagers were discovered by the Corpse Eating Beast. Therefore, they ate all the corpses and smelled the scent of living people. Therefore, the Corpse Eating Beast followed the scent and came to Mu Village.

Almost every family in Mu Village reared a lot of chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep. Every night when it was dark and quiet, the Corpse Eating Beast would rush into the circle and stretch its demonic claws towards those innocent animals. Of course, the prerequisite was to kill them first and then enjoy their bodies. This would result in the situation of the chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep being cut open.

Because the Corpse Eating Beast also wanted to eat something good, it also hoped to eat the human corpses, so it tried to knock on the door. However, because the impact was not strong enough, the door did not open. Instead, the villagers mistakenly thought that someone was knocking on the door.

Everything had a reasonable explanation. Xu Zhitian's heart suddenly became clear. No matter what, all of this had nothing to do with ghosts. It was just a monster, so there was nothing for him to be afraid of.

The menu popped up. Xu Zhitian looked at the two most important values: Stamina and Health.

Because his Stamina had just been replenished, he still had 98 points left. As for his Health Points, because Xu Zhitian did not use any Health Recovery Serum and did not receive any attacks, he remained at 55 points.

However, just as Xu Zhitian put away the menu, he heard a roar from behind him. Immediately after, a black shadow dashed past Xu Zhitian with a swoosh.

Xu Zhitian was shocked. Could it be that the Corpse Eating Beast couldn't hold it in any longer and returned to treat him as food?
