Survival For All: I, Aura Creator

Chapter 52: Bloodsucking Lichen (Please Collect!)

Xue Siyu was very hungry. She only dared to eat half of the meat, as eating more would lower her sanity too much, causing her to fly away—literally, in a physical sense.

Even now.

Her head felt a bit dizzy, filled with all sorts of bizarre thoughts.

Ning Ze looked at her and couldn't help but sneer. The piece of meat Xue Siyu had just eaten probably didn't even weigh a pound, maybe around three hundred grams.

Even with just this small amount, her face showed an abnormal look, as if she had drunk fake alcohol.

What? Are you going to make a move?

Sigh...

"It seems that when there is no edible food, most people probably choose to eat smaller meals to avoid lowering their sanity too much."

But this method also has its drawbacks, as it prolongs the time of lowered sanity, but fortunately, it won't decrease too much at once.

Ning Ze also finished his own dinner, and Xue Siyu's eyes widened at the sight, but she didn't dare say anything, let alone ask for anything.

Then, Ning Ze suddenly took out a "human-shaped skeleton"!

Xue Siyu was instantly startled and looked nervously at the "skeleton" in front of her, which was slightly taller than her.

"This is a puppet I made, assembled from wolf bones," Ning Ze explained casually. Xue Siyu nodded as if she understood, then carefully examined the "skeleton" and indeed found that these bones were quite different from human bones, showing signs of carving.

But seeing this thing at night was still somewhat creepy.

Ning Ze also looked at the panel of this human puppet:

[Personality Puppet · Calm]

[Effect]: Comes with 50% of the "Blood Master" attributes and active abilities.

[Personality · Calm]: Control degree increased by 100%. When encountering danger, it will inherit all attributes of "Blood Master" and last for 5 minutes.

[Explanation]: Can only be used at night, and only one puppet can exist at the same time.

He didn't expect this puppet to inherit 50% of his attributes, which meant that his Aura puppets could also use them?

Ning Ze thought to himself, then tried to control the human puppet with his mind. The puppet suddenly stood up and took a few steps forward, waving its arms to make some relatively complex movements, such as lifting a bucket and wielding a sword.

Xue Siyu watched in astonishment and curiosity, replacing her previous fear.

When the human puppet wielded the alloy cleaver, she clearly felt that the puppet was very strong, at least stronger than her.

"The control degree is not bad. It can't make very complex movements like a human, but it can handle most situations with the movements it can make, and it can also share vision."

"Has your invisibility ability cooled down now?"

Ning Ze thought to himself, then looked at Xue Siyu.

"It has!" Xue Siyu nodded subconsciously.

"Good, you'll go out with it later, and we'll communicate through the private chat channel."

The human puppet couldn't speak, so communication didn't necessarily require the transmission of sound.

Xue Siyu hesitated and looked at the human puppet, instinctively wanting to refuse, but she couldn't refuse Ning Ze's command.

"Okay, master!"

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Xue Siyu didn't think too much about it. Surviving in the wild at night was not the first time for her, but this time she had an odd companion.

Immediately, her body began to turn invisible, and Ning Ze activated his serpent sense, but he couldn't sense her presence at all.

"If it weren't for the link of the soul contract, once Xue Siyu turned invisible, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to find her."

Ning Ze could only sense the other's presence through soul perception.

He then controlled the human puppet to open the door of the courtyard and walked out slowly, with Xue Siyu following closely behind.

He was also curious about what the world was like at night.

NZ-3534: "You go in first and check the situation. Let me know if there's anything through private chat."

XSY-5525: "Okay."

Outside the northern forest, the human puppet controlled by Ning Ze stopped here, while communicating with Xue Siyu through the private chat channel.

In the human puppet's vision, Xue Siyu entered the forest alone, the same forest where the strange big tree grew.

"It's strange. Why does this forest feel similar to the forests during the day?"

Soon, Xue Siyu's response came.

"How was the forest you saw at night before?"

Ning Ze was taken aback for a moment, then asked.

XSY-5525: "The forests I saw at night before were very scary. Some trees were covered with twisted flesh, some trees made strange noises, and there were unexplainable phenomena in the forest."

According to Xue Siyu, this forest seemed to have little danger.

Ning Ze didn't hesitate any longer and immediately controlled the human puppet to step into the forest.

Along the way, he cautiously sensed everything around him. With only half of the ability inherited, the serpent sense displayed by the human puppet could only spread to an area of nearly twenty meters in radius, but it was barely enough.

Soon, he arrived at the location where Xue Siyu was.

Everything around seemed to be similar to the daytime situation, and he also saw the strange big tree.

He hadn't made an offering today, but as a precaution, he didn't plan to awaken the strange big tree for now. Instead, he came to a tree and took out an iron axe from his backpack.

These trees felt somehow off!

Xue Siyu looked at the human puppet in astonishment. Chopping trees at night, wasn't he afraid of danger?

Bang!

As the axe went down, it felt like it was hitting soft mud, sinking deep and unable to be pulled out.

"What's going on?"

The human puppet tried to pull the axe handle, but it only came out slightly. At that moment, the tree bark suddenly turned into a "fluid" state.

In the dark environment, the human puppet with only 50% night vision couldn't see the details clearly, but it could see the flowing tree bark spreading along the axe handle.

Ning Ze immediately controlled the human puppet to release the axe, and at the same time, he also saw the information about this "camouflaged lichen."

[Nightfall · Camouflaged Lichen (Cultivable)]

[Explanation]: Don't let them touch you, or they'll suck your blood dry.

"It's actually camouflaged lichen that sucks blood."

Ning Ze looked at the axe covered with dense camouflaged lichen, feeling his scalp tingle.

"But how do you cultivate this thing?"

This book will be filled with 1 million words, I promise...
