Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Upon learning that Die'er could exist solely on Su Yang's spiritual energy without needing to eat, Su Yang, who had been struggling for a long time, felt hungry again. He took out the smoked Ancient Cry Beast meat, heated it up over a fire, and began to eat again, asking Die'er as he ate:

"How do the people on this continent start fires? Do they also use elemental power?"

"People on this continent generally reach the age of 30. As their experience grows, their mental strength will increase to level 3, allowing them to artificially enhance the strength of their elemental essence and generate a substance called elemental fire to start a fire. However, apart from fire elemental essence, which can start a fire and cause damage at level 1, other elemental fires generally cannot be generated on a large scale; they are just small flames, but enough to start a fire." Die'er sat next to Su Yang, resting her chin on her hands as she answered.

"So simple! I even tried to start a fire by rubbing sticks together..." Su Yang was speechless.

"There's nothing we can do about it. You were only level 1 back then, and you were a cloud-attribute user," Die'er said with an embarrassed smile.

...

Su Yang reluctantly continued eating meat. Suddenly, Die'er stood up. Su Yang was wondering what was going on when the radar network that had spread out suddenly reacted. In Su Yang's perception, at least twenty unidentified creatures were rapidly approaching, and in the blink of an eye, they were less than 60 meters away.

Su Yang stood up and said, "Something's getting close. Stay here and don't come out." He then got up, formed a gun, walked out of the shelter, turned around and closed the wooden door, ready for battle.

"This silly boy, he's even worried about me now," Die'er complained, but felt a warmth in her heart.

Su Yang looked up and saw a pack of wolf-like creatures about 30 meters ahead. Judging from their appearance, they should be the Ice Crystal Wolves that Die'er mentioned. "But how did the Ice Crystal Wolves find me? Could it be that I entered their territory while hunting the Ancient Crying Beast that day, and therefore they consider me an enemy?" Su Yang muttered to himself, guessing.

The Ice Crystal Wolves were now less than 10 meters away. They spread out, forming a fan shape that partially surrounded Su Yang. Only then could Su Yang see their appearance clearly. The Ice Crystal Wolves were pale blue all over, truly like ice crystals. Their bodies were slightly transparent, as if one could see their internal organs. They had two unusually long fangs, accompanied by swirling water mist. The large wolf in the middle even had three tails. With each step it took, a layer of frost formed on the surrounding environment. It seemed to be the leader.

"This is a group of wolves. The one with three tails is the leader. The other wolves have mental strength around level 2 to 3, and that big wolf has already reached level 4." The voice that suddenly came to his ears made Su Yang, who was in a standoff, shudder.

"Didn't I tell you not to come out? Why did you run out on your own? It's too dangerous outside." Su Yang said in a low voice, his tone quick and urgent.

"It's alright, I'm just a projection of consciousness, they can't hurt me," Die'er replied nonchalantly. "It shouldn't be a big problem for you, you can eliminate them quickly."

Su Yang felt much more at ease after hearing this, but he still dared not relax. Just in case, he made a number of preparations. First, he gathered two automatic rifles, ready to attack from both sides. Then, he gathered many swords and blades in the sky for a second attack. Finally, he secretly gathered a protective shield in a concealed state so that he could cover himself if the attack failed.

The wolf pack surrounded them for a long time without making a move. The alpha wolf sniffed around for a while, then let out a soft howl. One of its ice-crystal wolves turned and ran into the forest. This puzzled Su Yang, who could only ask Die'er:

"Could it be that they went back to call for wolves?"

“That’s possible. Ice Crystal Wolves usually attack in groups and are extremely intelligent; they won’t launch an attack they’re not confident of winning.” Die’er’s expression was somewhat grave.

"Then we need to prepare to run away. If there are too many wolves that I can't handle, I'll have to jump off a cliff to escape," Su Yang said.

Soon, a pale blue tide seemed to surge in from afar. Su Yang roughly estimated that there were about fifty of them. Adding the twenty in front of him, there were at least seventy Ice Crystal Wolves gathered here.

"They're really yelling wolves!" Su Yang was somewhat alarmed.

Surrounded by the pack of wolves, an even larger ice crystal wolf with five tails and hard horns stepped out. With each step, it froze a wider area and made the freeze more solid.

"This should be an Ice Crystal Wolf, like a deputy to the clan leader. Its mental strength level has already reached level 5," Die'er said after examining it.

"I work from 8 am, and they're a bunch of intelligent beasts!" Su Yang cursed angrily. "A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, but before we run away, we have to give them a good beating!"

After speaking, Su Yang raised his hands, and two automatic rifles appeared in his grasp. He pulled the trigger, and two bursts of elemental bullets whistled out, killing all the small wolves at close range. Then, he controlled the swords in the sky to fall down, killing more than a dozen more. After finishing this, Su Yang grabbed Die'er and turned to run towards the cliff. The wolf pack was instantly enraged by this commotion, howling and rushing over. The leader, a level 5 ice crystal wolf, even unleashed its elemental power, and dozens of ice spikes instantly stabbed towards Su Yang.

With lightning speed, Su Yang was enveloped by the protective shield in the next second, and ran to the edge of the cliff. The ice spikes struck the shield with a crackling sound, and cracks instantly appeared on the shield's surface. This crack alarmed Su Yang: "Just an ice spike attack has caused the shield to crack. What will happen when it hits the rocks?"

But Su Yang had already jumped off the cliff, and Die'er had long since canceled her consciousness projection. Su Yang had no way out but to try, as Die'er had mentioned before, to artificially increase the strength of the elemental particles in mid-air, thereby increasing the strength of his shield. Just in case, Su Yang quickly condensed two more shields to protect himself from injury after falling off the cliff. But even this wasn't enough for Su Yang. Just as he was about to hit the ground, Su Yang suddenly remembered the reverse thrust and silently chanted, "Cloud, since your characteristic is change, help me today, let the air current in front of me become a powerful updraft!"

Su Yang closed his eyes and continued to increase the enhancement and synthesis of the elemental particles. When he was 3 meters off the ground, a powerful updraft suddenly collided with the shield, causing the first layer of the shield to shatter completely, and then supporting Su Yang.

Su Yang felt a floating sensation, opened his eyes, canceled the output of elemental power, and then fell to the ground. He arrived at the bottom of the cliff unharmed. Looking up, he saw a pack of wolves howling at him from the edge of the cliff, seemingly very angry.

Su Yang was relieved to have survived, but the next moment a sense of powerlessness struck again. "I've overdrawn my mental energy again," the last thought flashed through his mind, and the next second Su Yang collapsed weakly onto the protruding rock on the ground.
