Survival For All: I, Aura Creator

Chapter 37 Saint Hui's Aura (Please collect!)

"Aura creation!"

[Zero Presence: After staying still for one minute, your presence decreases to zero. When walking, you can reduce your presence by consuming mental energy.]

[Investment Cost Origin Value: 100; Creation success rate 37%.]

"Creation!"

[Creation successful!]

Spending 300 points of Origin Value, Ning Ze increased Aura's success rate to one hundred percent.

[Zero Presence (Ⅰ)]: From now on, be a little transparent, no one can find me; after staying still for five seconds, your presence decreases to zero. When walking, you can reduce your presence by consuming mental energy.]

"Wait for me at home."

"Whimper~"

Ning Ze rubbed Fenrir's head and pointed in the direction of home.

This was once the cave of the Dark Night Wind Wolf.

Ning Ze did not want Fenrir to be assimilated into a creature that feared sunlight.

In addition, limited by the daytime, the creatures in the cave could not appear directly in front of Ning Ze and could only lurk in the shadows.

The faint smell of blood in the air awakened too many dark creatures.

Since that was the case, lure them out with monster meat before nightfall.

See if he could explore the first cave.

Ning Ze took out 10KG of inedible monster meat and piled it at the entrance of the first cave.

[Zero Presence] triggered!

"It's effective."

Ning Ze felt pleased.

The moment the Concealment Aura was triggered, the sense of being watched by other creatures diminished significantly.

Especially the alert from [Danger Perception] suddenly stopped, which was quite uncomfortable.

The sound of rain outside the cave was dripping.

The absence of alert sounds disturbed Ning Ze, and the tranquility around him made him somewhat nervous.

The beating of his heart accompanied the rush of blood in his veins.

One minute...

Two minutes...

Five minutes...

"They're here!"

A fat old rat emerged from a low cave, cautiously looking around before swiftly rushing towards the pile of monster meat.

Ning Ze's gaze turned cold, and his snake-like perception also triggered in that instant.

Before the rat could approach the corpse, a black figure swooped in, and a large black paw directly stepped on the rat.

—Squeak~

The rat let out a miserable scream twice before falling silent.

The black panther buried its head and sniffed the pile of monster meat, preparing to feast.

In an instant, a tentacle whipped the panther's head.

In the blink of an eye, the pointed end of the tentacle coiled around the panther's body, ready to drag it away.

Just when Ning Ze thought the danger in the first cave had been exposed.

Another tentacle emerged from the corner, seizing the panther's body and engaging in a tug-of-war.

The entire process happened too quickly.

Unintentionally, Ning Ze broke out in a cold sweat.

He had anticipated that the cave was not simple, but he had not expected it to harbor so many monsters.

"Fortunately, I didn't act recklessly before. Otherwise, I might have been in big trouble by now."

One after another, the creatures in the cave emerged, and under Ning Ze's observation, he found that the vast majority were non-darkened creatures, while a few powerful darkened creatures only used part of their bodies to join the fray.

The entire cave was already becoming increasingly stained with dark red due to the accumulating corpses.

Ning Ze held his breath and switched [Zero Presence (Ⅰ)] to the moving mode.

As his mental energy continued to be depleted, Ning Ze slowly moved along the wall towards the interior of the cave.

[Zero Presence (Ⅰ)] in the moving state would consume mental energy to minimize Ning Ze's presence as much as possible, but it could not reduce his presence to zero.

Level 1 Aura was not enough to give him the freedom to act recklessly.

He still had to be careful...

The passages in the cave were also intricate, and Ning Ze made markings all the way to avoid getting lost.

When he turned a corner, a spacious chamber appeared before him, with two iron chests placed conspicuously.

"There are chests!"

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1200ml of drinking water, 5 cans of chicken, 2 iron ingots, a level II crossbow blueprint, and an additional town portal scroll, gaining 50 survival points.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 painkiller, 3 magnets, a brand new iron pickaxe, 2 stamina potions, and an additional lucky necklace, gaining 50 survival points.]

Another town portal scroll!

Now his safety was assured.

Ning Ze wondered if it was just his imagination.

The gains from the two black iron chests in the cave could even rival the treasures from silver-level chests outside.

[Lucky Necklace (Blue)]

[Effect]: When worn, luck +1.

[Explanation]: A bit of luck, a bit of good fortune.

"Even though it only adds one point of luck, why is it still a blue item... Could it be a fake?"

Ning Ze furrowed his brow slightly.

The gains from a blue item should not be limited to just this single attribute, but he still wore it around his neck, as something was better than nothing.

Ning Ze stored the items in the system and continued to search for other chambers.

A few minutes later, Ning Ze found another chamber, which did not contain any chests. In the center of the chamber was a peculiarly shaped box.

"What's this?"

After approaching, Ning Ze also received the corresponding prompt:

[Decomposer]

[Explanation]: Can decompose unwanted items, maximizing resource utilization, with some loss.

"This thing is great. With this device, I can recycle any unused items in the future."

What a stroke of luck!

Ning Ze joyfully stowed it in his backpack, preparing to leave.

[Zero Presence (Ⅰ)] consumed too much mental energy, and with his current mental energy, he could only maintain it for less than twenty minutes.

Exploring two chambers had already depleted his mental energy.

His level was still too low.

Before leaving the cave, a hidden compartment appeared at the original location of the decomposer.

A wooden statue emerged from it.

Ning Ze did not have time to examine it carefully and immediately stuffed the wooden statue into the system space. [Danger Perception] was constantly popping up with new alert sounds, just like beating a drum.

Crushing a town portal scroll, the azure light particles gradually turned into a blue light gate as the scroll shattered.

"Roar!!!"

Seemingly sensing Ning Ze's presence, a roar accompanied by a giant voice broke through the stone door of the chamber at the moment Ning Ze returned to the small wooden house.

"Wow... What is this!"
