Chapter 120: Dare I Ask Where the Road Is?

Feng Qi lowered his head and looked at Suction Cup lying on his chest with its eyes closed. He reached out and rubbed her little head, a smile appearing on his face.
Just now, when he lured the elemental lifeform surrounded by electric arcs to Blackie, something almost happened.
When Suction Cup sensed that he was about to be attacked by the lifeforms, she was instantly activated and entered a combat state.
If not for the fact that he hugged her with all his might and that she seemed to be afraid that he would be injured and did not struggle hard, the current situation would have been a three-way battle between Suction Cup, the elemental lifeform and Blackie.
Fortunately, after he left in time, Suction Cup finally stopped struggling and fell asleep again.
“Narrator, how much further?” Feng Qi could not help but ask as he shuttled through the dilapidated buildings.
[I can’t determine the exact distance. In short, there’s still a long way to go.
Prepare for failure. It’s very likely that you’ll die midway.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi said helplessly, “Can’t you say something nice? Give me some motivation. Don’t discourage me at the drop of a hat.”
[Do I look like an obedient system?]
“I was reckless.”
As they chatted, Feng Qi ran through the city ruins. His mental power continued to transform into psychokinesis to push him from behind, increasing his running speed.
After an unknown period of time, when his psyche power was completely exhausted, he slowed down.
Presently, there were still dilapidated buildings standing around the area he was in. Countless buildings had already collapsed under the ravages of time.
After continuing to run for a while, he stopped.
At this moment, not far away, a huge snake blocked his path.
Its entire body was covered in red scales, and it was five to six meters long. A pink rune crystal was embedded seven inches below its head, and the tip of its tail was constantly swinging like a rattlesnake.
At this moment, the green vertical pupils were staring straight at Feng Qi. From time to time, it would spit out its snake tongue, emitting a dangerous aura.
Seeing a domain creature, Feng Qi instinctively wanted to take a detour.
However, after looking at Suction Cup in his arms, he was no longer afraid. He immediately walked towards the Red-Scaled Snake.
When he was about ten meters away from it, he stopped, picked up Suction Cup, and threw it at it.
At this moment, the Red-Scaled Snake opened its bloody mouth. Then, its body shot up like a spring and bit Suction Cup.
After breaking away from his body, Suction Cup opened its eyes in the air and was swallowed whole by the Red-Scaled Snake.
[Beautiful, accurately entered the stomach. This goal should count as three points, right?]
Just as Feng QI was about to reply, the Red-Scaled Snake that had swallowed Suction Cup suddenly exploded from the middle.
The violent airflow even swept the surrounding minced meat into a bloody mist.
When the blood mist dissipated, Suction Cup stood on the spot in a swinging position. Although her figure was only the size of a child, she looked very domineering.
As the jade-colored light on his body circulated, the minced flesh and blood on the surface of Suction Cup slid off.
[Do you see that? This is the growth path you should choose. One punch to break all, not hiding behind and releasing skills. Pew pew pew~]
“I can’t be bothered with you!”
He reached out to received Suction Cup who pounced over and allowed her to attach to his chest again before continuing on his way.
The blood moon in the sky would never set, so Feng Qi did not know how much time had passed while he was traveling. What he had to do was keep moving east until he found that weak wisp of life.
He was very curious about the life that was incompatible with this world.
Is it possible that they are humans who had survived the apocalypse?
With curiosity and anticipation for the unknown, he shuttled between the dilapidated high-rise buildings and moved forward quickly.
During this period, his mental power gradually recovered and he could use his psyche power again, increasing his traveling speed.
In the past, when he encountered domain creatures, he would hide if he could. Even if he had to take a detour, he would not take the initiative to provoke them. After all, he did not have the confidence to win. If he died, he would suffer a huge loss.
But now that he had Suction Cup, the situation was completely different.
A detour was impossible, he had to take the direct route. If he encountered domain creatures blocking his way, he would throw Suction Cup.
If there was no way out, he would let her clear a path for him.
The only thing that Feng Qi regretted was that as long as Suction Cup attacked a domain creature, she would definitely kill them. Moreover, it would definitely be an instant kill. He would not even have the chance to finish it off.
It was completely impossible for Suction Cup to help him obtain innate abilities.
After walking for an unknown period of time, the buildings along the way gradually decreased. What appeared in the distance was a vast plain that stretched for an unknown number of kilometers.
It started to rain at this moment.
As the dark clouds in the sky surged, blood-colored raindrops fell like fog. White smoke immediately rose from the parts of his body that the blood raindrops landed on.
Realizing that the blood rain was corrosive, he immediately quickened his pace.
However, Feng Qi quickly calmed down.
He realized that the corrosive damage of the blood rain could not break through his defense at all. The self-recovery ability brought about by the “Very Strong” title allowed him to be completely immune to such subtle damage.
[How is it? Do you realize the beauty brought about by the growth path of a muscular man? A powerful self-healing ability is only the beginning stage. As long as your body is cultivated to the extreme, you can even cross the spatial inversion with your body and go wherever you want. No matter how serious your injuries are, you can recover in the blink of an eye. This is the growth path you should take.]
[Look at Suction Cup again. The blood raindrops are still smoking on your body, but there’s no reaction when they drip on her. This is the difference in physical strength.]
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right. I’m listening seriously,” Feng Qi said perfunctorily with a helpless expression.
He looked down at the sleeping Suction Cup and continued on his way.
Dark clouds surged in the sky, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. One could vaguely see a majestic figure swallowing and spitting lightning and thunder in the dark clouds, absorbing the natural power of the universe.
This strange world was filled with all kinds of mysterious and terrifying domain creatures.
He knew that what he had encountered now was only the tip of the iceberg.
The road ahead was difficult and dangerous. There was still a long way to go.
After walking for an unknown period of time, he finally walked out of the city ruins.
As the blood rain continued to fall, the path ahead became very muddy, and his speed of advancement slowed down.
Stepping into the vast plain, he continued forward according to the narrator’s instructions.
The field was covered in white flowers, but they were not stained red by the blood rain. They were still swaying in the wind.
After plucking a white flower, he asked curiously, “Narrator, is this plant a spiritual plant?”
[This thing is the same as plants in reality. However, it grows in the domain field and is nourished by the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, so it looks a little different. It can be food, but it can’t be considered a spiritual plant at all.]
[Let me explain to you here. Spiritual plants can generally take the initiative to absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth or plants with special energy around them. While non-spiritual plants are plants that grow passively under the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. The difference is still quite big.]
“I see.” Feng Qi immediately nodded.
After stepping into the plains, the environment here was even more dangerous than the city ruins.
There were buildings as a blockade in the city ruins. Coupled with the relatively complicated terrain, there was still room to deal with domain creatures.
However, there was no cover here. It was difficult to escape.
It seemed to be for this reason that there were very few domain creatures on the plains. They were scattered in all directions.
With Suction Cup in hand, Feng Qi had no intention of taking a detour and continued forward.
Even if he encountered a domain creature, he would only be delayed for a few seconds.
After advancing for a while, he encountered the first domain creature in the plains.
Its shape was very strange. It looked like a scarecrow and its body was stuck in the ground. If not for the rune crystal on its forehead flickering, he would not have thought that it was a domain creature.
As he approached the scarecrow, he was about to throw Suction Cup when two scarlet eyes appeared on the scarecrow’s face.
Then, he felt his body tighten and he began to lose control. His consciousness also became very slow.
It was as if he was drunk and could not control his body normally.
[Oh, mental bewitchment. It’s a very special system.]
Under the control of the scarecrow, Feng Qi slowly raised his hand and grabbed his own neck. He then began to exert strength.
Fortunately, at this moment, Suction Cup opened her eyes and slid off his body.
As if sensing the threat of Suction Cup, the scarecrow’s eyes turned scarlet. The mental power shock wave turned into almost tangible light-red energy ripples that spread toward her.
A jade-colored stream of light appeared on the surface of Suction Cup. As it circulated, it covered her entire body. The red light radiation on her body could not penetrate this energy barrier at all.
The mental control that was very effective on Feng Qi was useless in front of Suction Cup.
At this moment, Suction Cup jumped up from the ground like a rabbit and pounced at the scarecrow.
When she threw a punch from afar, the violent airflow was compressed and poured forward. The fist wind suddenly smashed onto the scarecrow like an air cannon.
With a crisp cracking sound, the scarecrow was broken by the fist wind. Then, its body turned into pieces and floated forward.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi, who had regained control of his body, could not help but be stunned.
“She’s too strong!”
[Did you see that? Extreme physical enhancement can break through all monsters. There’s no fancy combat power system that can’t be resolved with one punch. If there is, then two punches!]
Ignoring the narrator’s words, Feng Qi reached out to pick up Suction Cup and continued on his way.
After seeing the mysterious power of the scarecrow, he was suddenly worried that there would be domain creatures ahead that even Suction Cup could not deal with.
They might have grasped the mysterious power that could bypass Suction Cup and directly kill him.
As he continued forward, he did not know how far he had traveled.
As the blood moon in the sky would never set, he did not even know how long he had been walking for.
The narrator’s notification sounded at this moment.
[Blackie has caught up. If you can’t bear to part with the child, you won’t be able to catch the wolf. It’s time to abandon the child!]
Hearing the narrator remind him to lookback, he indeed saw Blackie, who was enveloped in the black fog, floating quickly towards him.
Looking around, there was not even a domain creature nearby that could help stop it.
While feeling helpless, he looked down at Suction Cup and reached out to rub her little head.
“Sorry.”
[Pui, hypocritical scumbag, how many times have you heartlessly abandoned me? If I were Suction Cup, I would have joined Blackie and hunted you down with it.]
At this moment, Blackie was already close. Feng Qi rubbed Suction Cup’s head again and threw her at Blackie.
“I’ll definitely avenge you!”
With that, he turned around and continued on his way without hesitation.
At this moment, the narrator’s voice sounded in his ears.
[I’m like a savior. I don’t have feelings, I don’t have strength… I of course don’t have money..]
