[System notification: Stone-1]
[System notification: Stone Bowl successfully created]
[System notification: Wood-1]
Klein used a flint to ignite a portion of wood.
To make an anesthetic, he needed a source of fire.
In addition, he needed utensils.
Firstly, it was necessary to make it, and secondly, it was used to store the powder and juice.
He was ready.
He opened the production interface.
He selected the anesthetic.
He chose to produce it!
[System notification: Cold Play Grass-3, Cricket Flower-2, Skeleton Grass-2]
All the medicinal herbs landed in the stone bowl.
The flames enveloped the stone bowl.
[System notification: Excellent Anesthetic has been successfully produced.]
The flames disappeared.
A ball of black medicinal powder appeared in the bowl.
[Excellent Anesthetic: 3/3]
Klein picked up the stone bowl. He wanted to take a closer sniff, but he was worried that he would be affected.
The number of times the anesthetic was used meant that it could be used three times.
If he was worried that the effect of the anesthetic wasn’t enough, he could apply it all three times to his weapon or pour it into water.
‘I need to add water to the healing medicine. I don’t have any water at the moment, so I can’t immediately produce it.’
Klein put away the anesthetic and looked at the hints in the catacombs behind him again.
[Dig backward and you’ll encounter a Single-Horned Sand Hound. There are many resources available in the catacombs. Perhaps you can wait a little longer. There’s still a bit of risk if you enter now.]
There was no change.
Clearly, the anesthetic wasn’t enough to change the situation.
‘Should I continue waiting or use the runic egg?’
Klein removed the runic egg as his eyes burned.
As long as he caught the crypt creature in the next catacomb, he would no longer have to worry about not having any meat to eat.
Perhaps, having an extra pet could change the situation.
“I’m not waiting anymore!”
Klein thought about it and desperately wanted to know the specific situation of the runic egg.
He had some concerns previously, and he was worried about having an extra mouth to eat.
Now that he had a xenogeneic on hand, he was worried about having an extra mouth to eat.
Now that he had a xenogeneic on his hand that could create a meat field, most of his worries were dispelled.
Klein took out a dagger and gently cut open a wound on his finger.
A drop of blood fell on the runic egg’s surface.
Instantly, the silver patterns on the eggshell emitted a luster.
The runic egg shook gently.
Then, it became more and more intense.
Klein placed the runic egg on the ground and quietly waited for his pet to break the shell.
It lasted for more than ten seconds.
Finally, with a crisp cracking sound, the eggshell shattered into pieces.
The fragments turned into powder.
Under the silver light, a creature that was obviously bigger than the wall runic egg gradually took shape.
Cat? Dog? Wolf?
From the outline of the silver light, Klein thought it looked like a dog.
The silver light converged.
A figure pounced into Klein’s arms.
“Wu, wu!”
???
Klein subconsciously hugged it.
From the moment it broke out of its shell, Klein had already formed a strange connection with it. When it pounced over, it showed a sense of closeness, so Klein didn’t dodge it.
It felt furry and soft.
Klein looked down.
A pure white creature was lying on his body. Its two forelimbs hung on its left and right shoulders. It raised its head and was also observing Klein.
[Tail Fox: A gentle crypt creature. It was born with two tails. As its bloodline grows stronger, the number of tails will increase until it becomes nine tails.]
[System notification: The Pet Interface has been activated. You can check the pet’s abilities and status at any time.]
The Tail Fox was half a meter long, and its two furry tails were slightly longer than its body.
It hung on Klein’s body. Its watery eyes blinked and the corners of its mouth curled up. For a moment, Klein felt like he was seeing a woman.
Klein swore that it was definitely not because he hadn’t touched a woman in a long time.
It was because the Tail Fox’s demeanor was indeed like a human.
He almost instantly thought of the legendary vixen.
“Female?”
Klein grabbed the back of the Tail Fox’s neck and lifted it up.
“Tsk, as expected, there’s no penis.”
He laughed.
“…”
The Tail Fox drooped its body and let Klein do whatever he wanted. It had no intention of resisting.
It only stared at him with its two tails moving slightly behind it.
‘It doesn’t look too powerful. Can it help in battle?’
Klein looked left and right, but he didn’t see any sharp teeth on the tail fox. It was also small in size, and it didn’t just have an extra mouth to eat.
The tail fox cried out indignantly. It raised its two front limbs and bared its fangs and brandished its claws.
Its four claws didn’t look like a fox, but more like a cat.
There were pink and tender pads.
Ding!
From the two pink pads, sharp claws that were as sharp as knives extended out!
They were curved and long.
It seemed to be saying, “Master, I’m very powerful!”
“Eh, it looks pretty good.”
Klein smiled and threw the Tail Fox aside.
He opened the pet interface.
[Tail Fox
Name: Unnamed.
Status: Healthy
Ability: High-Speed Movement
Checking its ability…
High-Speed Movement: After the ability is activated, the movement speed will be increased by three times. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown time: 30 minutes.]
Klein looked down.
The white Tail Fox was demonstrating its running speed.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
It shuttled back and forth around him.
All he could see was a flash of a white shadow. It was a little fast.
He hadn’t activated his ability yet. If it were to use high-speed movement, it would be very easy for it to succeed in a surprise attack at close range.
Klein nodded secretly, acknowledging the strength of the Tail Fox.
“Little fellow, stop,” he shouted.
Shoo!
The Tail Fox obediently stopped at Klein’s feet.
“You don’t have a name yet. I’ll give you a, uh, name…”
Klein paused for a moment and said, “I’ll call you Little Fox for now. If I think of a good name in the future, I’ll change it for you.”
This was the only way to give a useless name.
“Wu, wu, wu!”
The Little Fox rubbed its head against Klein’s calf as though it was happy to have a name.
It was so easily satisfied.
Klein smiled and looked away. He checked the notification for the third time.
This time, the hint finally changed!
