I'm speechless! You want me to drive a baby stroller on the highway to survive?

Before Lu Youyou could even react, and was marveling at Xiao Hei's jumping ability, a dark shadow rushed towards her face.

Realizing what the dark shape was, Lu Youyou quickly caught Xiao Hei and placed it at her feet.

"Ouch——"

The leopard on the roof rolled around in agony.

boom!

It fell from the roof to the ground, emitting a painful cry.

Lu Youyou noticed that there were two bloody holes on the leopard's neck, with blood gushing out and the skin beginning to ulcerate.

Lu Youyou seized the opportunity, got out of the car, and separated the leopard's carcass.

In a few seconds, the leopard disappeared, and a red treasure chest appeared where the leopard had been lying.

[Four white steamed buns: 100g each.]

[Brown Sugar Jujube Cake *4: Reduced sugar version, 80g each.]

There are eight food items in the treasure chest, all of which are edible, and none of them are monsters in disguise.

After collecting all the food and putting the treasure chest into the decomposer, Lu Youyou got into the car.

Little Black limped out of the room to greet her, whimpering softly.

That little expression of hers was so pitiful.

Lu Youyou quickly put away the axe, picked up Xiao Hei, and went into the room.

She squeezed the puppy's paw; it wasn't broken, just a little swollen. Lu Youyou felt both proud and angry.

What she's proud of is that her little black dog knows how to protect its owner even at such a young age.

What angered Xiao Hei was that he charged forward recklessly and was swatted away by the enraged leopard.

If I hadn't reacted quickly and caught it, it might not have survived falling from the roof onto the road!

What if they encounter a monster they can't handle next time? Won't Little Black be eaten alive, leaving not even bones behind?

"Xiao Hei, you're not allowed to be so reckless next time, understand? Otherwise, I'll punish you by not letting you eat!"

Little Black tilted its head in confusion, not understanding why its owner was angry.

Protecting its owner is its instinct, and driving away trouble for its owner is its responsibility.

This is a mission and responsibility that is etched into one's soul and flows in one's blood without needing to be taught by elder dogs.

"Little Black, I know you're no ordinary puppy. You can fight those monsters that block your way, but you need to be careful."

“Like just now, if I hadn’t caught you, it would be fine if you fell into the car, but what if you fell onto the road? Wouldn’t you have broken bones all over your body? I would be worried.”

After Lu Youyou finished speaking earnestly, she saw Xiao Hei staring at her with wide eyes and couldn't help but laugh.

"No more acting cute. Next time you encounter a monster, don't just rush in unless you're absolutely sure you can beat it without getting hurt, understand?"

"Woof..."

Xiao Hei responded softly, then buried his face in Lu Youyou's arms and stopped looking at her.

Lu Youyou placed it on the bed, gently stroking the puppy's head, her heart melting.

No wonder some people say that pets are the best medicine to heal oneself; she seems to have experienced that firsthand.

Suddenly, the watch vibrated.

Lu Youyou opened it and saw that it was a message sent to the small group.

[ID 12345: Sisters, I killed a rabbit. Do you eat rabbit meat? I can sell it to you first.]

[Number 13579: I don't eat it. I killed a cow, and I have beef in my hand.]

【Item 1235: @88666 Do you want some? If you don't, I'll sell it elsewhere.】

Me: Thank you, but I don't want any.

Lu Youyou had planned to end the chat there, but on a whim, she asked a question.

[Me: Do you just kill the animals and then put them away?]

【ID 12345: Yeah, what's wrong?】

[Number 13579: Yes, is there some other trick to it?]

[Me: After I killed a monster, I didn't pick it up immediately, and a few seconds later the monster turned into a treasure chest. I don't know if I'm overthinking it, or if this is a pattern.]

[Number 12345: Really?! Does that mean I missed a lot of treasure chests along the way?]

[Number 13579: Me too. I was only thinking about collecting the meat and leaving quickly. I didn't even consider waiting a little longer to see if it would turn into a treasure chest.]

Just as Lu Youyou was about to say that she wasn't sure herself, she saw that number 12345 suddenly asked everyone to look at the public chat.

It was clear that things were very urgent; she had forgotten to convert the voice message to text and sent it directly as a voice message.

Lu Youyou switched to the public chat page and saw only a gloomy atmosphere filled with gloomy and pessimistic voices.

She scrolled up through the chat history and found out what had happened.

[ID 12490: Everyone, please don't eat the meat of the monsters you've killed! I've been poisoned!]

[Number 18990: Impossible! Everyone here has eaten dog meat before, and none of us got poisoned! Are you trying to trick us into buying our meat at a low price?]

[ID 12490: Dog meat should be non-toxic, but don't eat the monster meat you encountered today; eating too much will cause poisoning. I'm not buying animal meat at low prices anyway; I'm almost dead, so saving you all would be good.]

Even now, many people on the public chat still remain skeptical about the monster meat being poisonous.

However, the image of the person who said monster meat was poisonous turned gray.

That person is dead!

Then, when he said the monster meat was poisonous, everyone panicked.

[ID 18992: I checked my personal panel, and it doesn't show any signs of being infected!]

[ID 89932: Upstairs, did you not eat enough? I ate at least three pounds and I'm already showing signs of poisoning. Does anyone have an antidote? I'll offer a high price.]

[Number 48999: It has nothing to do with how much you ate, but it does to the time! According to my statistics, all those who reported poisoning had eaten monster meat within three hours of consuming it.]

[ID 99021: Yes! It's related to time. I clearly remember eating the monster meat at 5 o'clock, and when I checked again at 8 o'clock, it showed poisoning. Now it's almost 10 o'clock, and I'm already feeling weak all over.]

[ID 89291: What? Poisoned in three hours, and weak all over in just over an hour? If you encounter a road intersection, wouldn't you be waiting to die?! And you're still happily refusing to take the antidote?]

[ID 99021: That thing is so precious, who's going to give it to me? Anyway, I have a terminal illness, so being able to participate in a fantastical game before I die is worth it.]

After saying that, Lu Youyou saw that his profile picture had turned gray.

The time displayed was exactly 10 o'clock.

In other words, after eating monster meat, the panel will show poisoning after three hours, and you will die if you don't get the antidote within two hours.

Clearly, this pattern wasn't only discovered by Lu Youyou.

Those who have thought about this in the public chat have already summarized it.

All the players who were poisoned went mad.

In their search for a cure, they exposed all their possessions on the public chat, posting screenshots of the items in their backpacks.

At this moment, the antidote is in short supply and its price is soaring.
