Chapter 5: Werewolf Attack

"Haha, it's not that we must sleep, but that monsters appear in the village at night."

"Monsters?"

"Yes, monsters won't enter houses that have villagers, but those empty houses, heh."

"Hiss~, brother, what kind of monster is it exactly? Have you seen it?"

"Of course I've seen it; the first night, I died at the hands of that monster."

"Tell me quickly, what kind of monster is it?"

"Heh, actually I didn't see it clearly, I only saw a pair of scarlet eyes and its mouth full of fangs, and then everything went black and I died."

"Oh, that's terrifying; then it's good that brother you finished today's mission. By the way, doing missions takes a long time, why don't we go into the forest to kill beasts and drop entries?"

The big brother immediately strictly stopped his little brother's dangerous idea.

"Are you crazy? Do you know how powerful those beasts in the forest are?"

"And those beasts usually have entries like 'Sharp Fangs and Claws'; even if they dropped, we wouldn't be able to use them."

"Is that so! We can't use them?"

"Of course!"

"It's dark! By the way, brother, the monster you just mentioned... is it like this?"

After the little brother finished speaking, his whole body suddenly began to twist, black fur began to drill out from his skin, and the corners of his mouth elongated to reveal sharp fangs.

In just an instant, the little brother had turned into a huge black wolf, and three entries appeared on his head—one red, one blue, and one white.

【Werewolf】: Bloodline entry, a subspecies of the werewolf bloodline; although it doesn't have the powerful strength of a werewolf, it is more covert than the werewolf bloodline, and without transforming, you are a human.

【Bloodthirsty】: Years of killing have made you master the instinct of bloodthirst; when you taste the blood of an enemy, your overall strength and speed will increase, and your life recovery will increase by a small amount.

【Sharp Fangs and Claws】: After countless life-and-death battles, your claws and teeth have been tempered to be more powerful, increasing attack power by a small amount.

"Ah~ you!"

Before the big brother could finish his sentence, the black wolf bit his neck.

With a "crack" sound, the big brother's 【Strong and Robust】 entry didn't slow down the speed at which his neck was bitten through.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and Xie Yaoyao only then realized that because he was listening to their conversation, he had missed the time to return to the pharmacy.

Unlike the people in this world, people who come here from reality turn into flying ash after death.

The big brother's death left a 【Strong and Robust】 entry on the spot.

The werewolf gave a disdainful smile.

"Trash!"

But he still took the entry back; who knows when it might be useful.

After all, except for bloodline entries, other entries can be equipped at any time.

Just at this moment, the werewolf suddenly twitched its nose, and then instantly turned its head, a pair of beast pupils emitting cold light looking toward the position where Xie Yaoyao was hiding.

It's over!

He's been discovered!

Xie Yaoyao understood that he was completely no match for this beast at this moment.

His blue entry, Potent Toxin, might possibly make it pay a heavy price, but how to break through the other party's defense was a problem.

Looking at the beast's thick black fur, he figured it wasn't something that could be pierced by just any random broken tree branch.

However, no matter what, he couldn't just sit and wait for death.

Perhaps at the moment it bites him, he could try to slash its throat or mouth.

As the werewolf approached slowly, Xie Yaoyao's entire spirit tightened, preparing for a life-and-death struggle.

The sky was even darker!

The night wind seemed to have become even more murderous!

Suddenly!

"Awoo~"

A loud wolf howl came from the south of the village.

The werewolf turned its head abruptly.

"Awoo~"

As if in provocation, the wolf howl sounded again.

The werewolf let out a low growl, didn't hesitate anymore, turned around, and plunged into the darkness.

Xie Yaoyao let out a long sigh of relief.

The air just now seemed to have been frozen by thick murderous intent!

Confirming that the werewolf had already gone far away, Xie Yaoyao ran toward the pharmacy as fast as he could.

He now knew the meaning of the old pharmacist's warning; this Fairytale World is much more dangerous at night than during the day.

It was clearly the same simple little village as during the day, but Xie Yaoyao, running on the small village road, felt as if countless malicious gazes were staring at him from all around.

"Bang!"

Rushing into the small hut prepared for him by the old pharmacist, Xie Yaoyao slammed the door shut, leaning his back against the door and panting heavily.

Unlike the time with the venomous snake, this time Xie Yaoyao truly experienced the feeling of being on the line between life and death.

Fear gripped his heart like a giant hand, making him unable to breathe.

After a while, Xie Yaoyao finally calmed down.

Through the dim light outside the window, the simple layout of the room came into view.

Most of the space was occupied by various medicinal herbs, leaving only a little space in the middle.

Xie Yaoyao had no choice but to sit on the ground, leaning against a pile of burlap packages to rest.

His mind kept recalling what had just happened.

"Sure enough, special entries are much more powerful than ordinary entries, and bloodline entries seem to be a kind of special career entry!"

"Powerful among the powerful; that guy with 'Strong and Robust' had no power to fight back in front of it at all."

Looking sideways at the various medicinal herbs piled by the wall, Xie Yaoyao blinked.

"A career like Pharmacist doesn't sound like a combat career at all! In a head-on confrontation, it's estimated that it wouldn't even be able to beat a 'Woodcutter'."

"However, I have the talent of Entry Fusion, so... living a stable life doing missions doesn't seem to be the path I should take!"

"As long as I obtain enough entries, career entries and even bloodline entries are just a matter of time for me."

"So, for now, I still have to lie low; keeping a low profile and developing is the right way!"

Time passed slowly, and Xie Yaoyao, whose mind was wandering, gradually couldn't control his eyelids.

When he opened his eyes again, Xie Yaoyao had returned to his little nest.

The mist door in his mind had already closed.

It seems his game time is already over!

Patting his cheeks, Xie Yaoyao chased away the sleepiness and got up to wash.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Xie Yaoyao felt as if yesterday was just a very interesting dream.

Spitting out the foam in his mouth, the cold water completely dispelled the sleepiness.

Xie Yaoyao walked downstairs refreshed, opened the door for business!

"Yo! Heibao, still standing so high; one day you'll fall down!"

"Xiaomi, good morning! You're very spirited today too!"

"Tangyuan, don't rush, don't rush, I'll get you something to eat right away!"

"Yoshi! Huixing is still so handsome today! I'll add a lollipop for you!"

Spending twenty minutes, Xie Yaoyao finally served all the little guys in the shop before he went out to eat breakfast.

Just three or four doors down from his shop, there was a breakfast shop.

Xie Yaoyao went to eat breakfast, swaying while greeting the shop owners in the neighborhood.

"Ah! What a harmonious and safe world!" ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
