Chapter 25 Collar

Under the sturdy wooden table was a hole about a meter wide.

Lin Yue placed the wooden table in his inventory and stepped on the stairs.

Xiaobai had already jumped over. It seemed to be interested in this underground space that had suddenly appeared.

The stairs were a little steep. Lin Yue raised the torch and carefully walked down.

After ten steps, there was a small platform. After making a turn, he walked down ten steps and finally arrived at flat ground.

He raised the torch and observed carefully.

It was square and was the same shape as the shelter above. However, it was much cooler and dry here, and the airtightness was very good.

Xiaobai chirped as if it liked this environment.

“Haha, it’s like I’m in a coffin. The air quality here seems to be lacking.” Lin Yue looked around and quickly found a flaw.

However, this was still much better than the other options.

At worst, he would just treat it as a warehouse.

[Entering the underground shelter. Because the foundation has not been laid on the upper floor, the upper floor might collapse. Do you want to spend 10 stones to lay the foundation?]

At this moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded.

What, he even had to lay a foundation?

Although Lin Yue complained, he still immediately confirmed to make the foundation.

There was a stone shelter above. If it collapsed and he happened to be inside, the result would be very interesting.

Soon, as a white light lit up above the basement, the foundation seemed to be built.

Lin Yue returned to the surface with the torch and placed some heavy things like the engine and battery that he had obtained from the secret realm in his inventory before moving them to the basement.

After a while, everything was settled.

After doing this, the shelter above became tidier again, and a lot of space was freed up.

Lin Yue, who was in a good mood, brought Xiaobai outside.

After doing all that, the next thing he had to do was to think about how to survive the snowstorm two days later.

Wearing wooden armor, a small round shield in his left hand, and an iron spear in his right hand, Lin Yue was fully armed.

With this equipment and the help of Xiaobai, it was easy to deal with the small insects and other mutated creatures nearby.

Looking at the place where the mutated sheep’s remains were buried, Lin Yue discovered many beetles and other small insects. At this moment, they were digging through the soil and digging out the bones and internal organs of the mutated sheep.

There were also many more of them than before.

Lin Yue suddenly thought of something.

This… was like a bait trap. In the beginning, he had to spend a lot of effort and time to find a few of these small mutated creatures in the wasteland.

Now, with these bones and internal organs, he could easily find them.

These insects that ate on the corpses had low attack power. As long as he did not take the initiative, they would not attack him.

These insects were the main source of wooden treasure chests for Lin Yue.

For the past two days, he had been killing mutated sheep. After dissecting them and burying them in the ground, he could see a large number of these mutated insects the next day.

As long as he destroyed the insects and lizards, there would be wooden treasure chests which meant water and food.

If such large mutated creatures were always buried here, these insects would keep on appearing.

It seemed to have entered a virtuous cycle?

While thinking about this, Lin Yue kept harvesting the large beetles and small lizards with the iron spear.

In a short while, the number of wooden treasure chests in his inventory reached 30!

“Puji, puji!” Xiaobai on his shoulder kept shouting, as if it wanted to join the battle.

“Thirty is enough. Xiaobai, I’ll leave the remaining few to you.”

Lin Yue felt Xiaobai’s desire to fight.

This little guy seemed to be quite combative. It was a good opportunity to train it.

In the battle with the big rat in the secret realm, it could only help a little.

However, if he encountered a stronger opponent, Xiaobai’s current strength was too weak to be of any help.

It was necessary to train it well so that it could become a more capable helper.

Moreover, Xiaobai needed to grow. It was still a hatchling right now.

Could it be stronger when it grew up?

Lin Yue looked at Xiaobai, who had already pounced on a large beetle.

The large beetle was still eating the innards of the smelly mutated sheep and did not pay much attention to its surroundings. It quickly paid the price for this!

As Xiaobai spat out a white mist, the large green beetle was instantly covered in white frost!

The beetle’s black limbs stopped moving as if they were frozen. At this moment, Xiaobai opened its mouth and bit its head!

This set of movements was performed smoothly. Xiaobai was like a natural hunter, killing with swiftness and fierceness!

Xiaobai, who seemed to be unsatisfied, stared at the remaining few.

Double kill, triple kill, quadra kill, penta kill, overkill!

No one could stop it!

This white figure instantly turned into a death god in the wasteland!

Nice!

Lin Yue was surprised.

He did not expect this little guy to be so fierce!

[You have obtained a special treasure chest.)

After Xiaobai killed the last beetle, the system’s voice suddenly sounded.

Hmm? Why was there a treasure chest when Xiaobai killed the insects?

Moreover, what the hell was this special treasure chest?

Lin Yue looked at the special treasure chest.

It was basically the same as the wooden treasure chests, but there was a yellow five-pointed star on it.

What did that mean?

He opened it.

(You have obtained Elemental Collar xi]

Hmm? Another thing that did not belong to the normal range appeared.

[Elemental Collar: When worn by mutated creatures, it can increase their elemental attacks.]

Was this not a wasteland survival game?

Lin Yue took out the collar with a light yellow star and looked at Xiaobai.

The little guy seemed to be very interested in the collar in his hand and kept staring at it.

“Do you like it that much? But it seems a little big for you.” The collar in his hand was not small. It was not a problem for even big dogs to wear it.

However, just as Lin Yue was pretending to put it on Xiaobai’s neck, the collar miraculously shrank to an extremely fitting size!

Indeed, some things in this world could not be explained with common sense.

He could only consider it as a high-tech game.

Xiaobai did not feel uncomfortable wearing the collar. Lin Yue pulled it gently and realized that it could be taken off easily.

However, since the instructions said that it could increase the power of elemental attacks…

“Xiaobai, use Frost Breath on that insect again.”

“Puji!” Xiaobai seemed to understand and quickly spat white mist at a beetle.

This white fog’s range was actually twice as large as before. It even covered the beetle’s corpse and the grass beside it with a thick layer of frost!

“This… has it changed from air conditioning to a refrigerator?” Lin Yue said in surprise.
