Zhang Bei excitedly sank his consciousness into the detector and was about to check the unknown surprise.

As soon as he entered the detector, Zhang Bei was enveloped by a red light.

“Wasn’t it blue? Why is it red!” Zhang Bei had an ominous feeling.

The sound of the detector rang out. [This is bad! A monster is invading!]

“Monster?????” Zhang Bei suddenly remembered the creatures that others talked about in the World Channel.

[Three hours later, the protective barrier will lose its effect against foreign creatures]

[Master, please be prepared.]

[The novice protection will disappear! Master, run! Otherwise, you will be eaten!]

“Why are you calling me Master? You didn’t call me Master before.” Zhang Bei held his forehead and complained silently.

[Aha! Of course it’s to match your preferences!]

“I don’t have such a preference!” Zhang Bei roared angrily!

[Alright, alright, hurry up and prepare, otherwise you will be eaten by the monster.]

Zhang Bei exited the detector and thought inwardly, “If you’re afraid of me dying, give me some weapons! Am I supposed to fight monsters on my own??”

“Speaking of which, did she forget to tell me the location of the blue light?!” Zhang Bei slapped his head and returned to the detector.

“Speaking of which, what’s that blue thing? Where is it?”

Zhang Bei asked the detector.

[Aiya! I forgot to tell you! I don’t know what it is either! But it’s in the north! Hurry up and search!]

Zhang Bei sighed and exited the detector.

“I have to upgrade this detector!”

Zhang Bei thought to himself. Then, he looked at his protective measures and felt that it was still not enough.

“It is enough to resist some small creatures, but there is probably no way to deal with large creatures…”

Zhang Bei thought for a moment and took out a plant growth agent.

“I need to enhance the growth of these thorny brambles.” Zhang Bei poured the growth agent on each thorny bramble.

After a while, the thorny brambles, which were about six meters tall, suddenly grew rapidly.

As the growth agent stimulated them, the thorny brambles began to grow longer and longer…

“There’s no more sunlight.” Zhang Bei watched as the brambles gradually grew, interweaving to block all the sunlight.

Zhang Bei thought for a moment and took out a saw.

“I need to open an entrance for the supplies.”

He first opened a small hole on the side that could allow a person to pass. Then, he thought of climbing to the top of the thorny brambles and creating an opening that could let the supplies fall.

Zhang Bei was about to climb up when he looked at the thorny brambles and swallowed his saliva.

“If I climb up, I’ll be turned into a sieve.”

Zhang Bei thought for a moment, then used the remaining iron rods from last time to tie the saw together. Then, he tied each iron rod tightly with a cloth.

“Is this enough?” Zhang Bei raised the rods with all his might and started to use the saw to cut the thorny brambles on top.

One branch, two branches… Just as he was about to collapse from the sawing, finally, sunlight shone on the ground.

“This is good. After all, the energy device still needs to be charged.” Zhang Bei put away the saw as well as the sawed thorny brambles.

“I can use these sawed thorny brambles as torches.” Zhang Bei took out a small knife and began to chip the thorny brambles off.

“Right, in the north, right?” Zhang Bei suddenly thought of the blue light.

Then, he looked at the time. There were still three minutes before the mutated animals would invade.

“Forget it, let’s block off the invasion first.” Zhang Bei’s hands moved faster.

Finally, he finished chipping off all the thorny brambles.

He tied the chipped thorny brambles into a bundle and placed it aside.

Then, he took some cucumbers, tomatoes, and cabbages and put them in the tent.

Finally, he took the fully charged energy device to the tent.

He pulled the door shut.

He finished all this at one go.

It was already dark outside. Zhang Bei opened the world channel, wanting to chat with the people.

In the dark night, there were unknown dangers. Even Zhang Bei, who had a strong tolerance, was a little afraid.

He opened the world channel and realized that space was much more complicated than he had imagined.

“Did you guys hear that?! The noise outside.”

“I heard the howl of a wolf. How terrifying.”

“What a huge snake! It’s so scary!”

“Don’t worry, they can’t enter the protective shield… F*ck! What is this?????”

“Ahhhh, the wolf is coming!!! Help!!! Help!!!”

“The snake is here too! I don’t want to be eaten!”

Zhang Bei read the messages and felt fear.

“What exactly is near me?” He thought to himself, but he was still worried.

Sha… sha…

Zhang Bei heard a sound from outside.

He froze and held his breath.

After a while, he heard the rustling stop, so he lit the thorny brambles with a torch and walked out carefully.

It was dark outside, and the torch in Zhang Bei’s hand was very dazzling.

Suddenly, a dark shadow pounced on him and extinguished the torch in his hand.

Zhang Bei was shocked and took out a flame stick.

“Where did that thing go???” Zhang Bei looked around.

Finally, in a field of thorny brambles, he found the creature that had just extinguished the flames.

“This is…” Zhang Bei looked at the yellow fur in front of him…

“Chicken? Or rather, a chick?” He looked at the chick in the thorny brambles and reached out his fingers, wanting to touch it.

“Chi chi!!!!!!” Just as he was about to touch it, it opened its mouth and bit down.

“It hurts!!” Zhang Bei pulled back his hand.

His hand had reddened and was about to bleed.

Zhang Bei got courage from the anger. With one hand, he pulled the little yellow chick out of the thorny brambles.

He pulled the little yellow chick and observed it carefully.

“Isn’t this a little yellow chick?” Zhang Bei pinched its wings.

“Chi chi chi!” The little yellow chick was furious! It wanted to bite Zhang Bei again.

This time, Zhang Bei was prepared! He grabbed the little yellow chick’s head and flicked it strongly.

The little yellow chick suddenly calmed down. It seemed to be stunned, and then it suddenly went crazy.

It twisted around in Zhang Bei’s hand. Then, when Zhang Bei wasn’t paying attention, it jumped on his head and started to peck him hard.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch!” Zhang Bei grabbed the little yellow chick and flicked its little head.

The little yellow chick kept chirping loudly for a long time. Zhang Bei could not bear to punish it more severely..
