Chapter 12: Shameless Couple
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Anthony and Freda laid on the ground, not far from the fire.
Although their sleeping condition wasn’t as good as David’s, at least it was a lot safer with someone accompanying them.
They had been forcing themselves to hold up in the afternoon, so they soon entered their dreams.
David sat inside the thatched house. After a day of building, his Construction Skill had risen to Level 2.
His Weaving Skill also slowly leveled up to Level 2.
Currently, only his Medical Skill remained at Level 1.
When Anthony fully recovers, his medical skills would probably see a great improvement.
To stay here for a long time, he had to improve his living environment.
Not only did he have to make a covered channel, he also had to build a reservoir.
At the same time, he wanted to make an earthen jar to store water. He couldn’t eat roasted fish and drink cold water every day.
At this rate, he would similarly suffer from malnutrition.
He drowsily drifted off into sleep until he heard the sound of a branch breaking. He instinctively opened his eyes.
The tension from the sudden onset of danger.
He sat up slowly, relying on the glow from the moon, he looked around.
Soon, he discovered a black shadow on his left. It was near Anthony and Freda.
The mini camera accurately captured this scene, and the people watching the livestream tensed up.
Some people thought that there wasn’t much to see here and had left the livestream as background noise. Presently, they had also been attracted.
The beast illuminated by infrared rays was much taller than the young wolf he had encountered yesterday evening.
Not only that, its body was filled with muscles, and one could tell that it was extremely agile at a glance.
Yesterday’s young wolf had been injured, but this Spectral Dragon today was healthy and energetic.
Even though there were three of them, one was injured, and the other was a female. David was the only one who could fight.
They could tell from yesterday that he did not have any techniques and only relied on brute force to attack each time.
“What would they do now? They’re doomed, right?”
“If we encounter wild beasts that don’t belong here, we won’t even have a chance to escape.”
“I believe in David. I believe he can turn a calamity into a blessing.”
“Hehe, the person above is still dreaming? Do you think he’s an omnipotent ace?”
“He won’t be so lucky this time!”
“How can a person be lucky in every aspect?”
David didn’t know why there was a wild animal here all of a sudden. He remembered what Anthony and Freda had said before he came to a realization.
This was the beast that had been chasing after them. No wonder the two of them were in such a sorry state.
With other beasts, as long as a person runs fast enough, he would be able to get away within a very short time.
However, this beast was one-track minded. Whoever it targeted would come to no good end!
This was why it was called the Specter Dragon. It was actually a living ghost.
David frowned. If he had known he would be in danger, he would never have taken them in for the sake of improving his skills.
Now, they had attracted an unknown creature, it was very troublesome to deal with it.
His Combat Skill had just reached Level 2 after a day of training. Was he a match for the beast at such a low level?
He wasn’t sure, but neither did he have time to consider this question.
David walked down from the house in the tree to Anthony and patted his face. “Get up.”
Anthony slowly opened his eyes and asked in confusion, “What… what’s the matter?”
David covered Anthony’s mouth and pointed towards where the Spectral Dragon was.
Anthony looked towards the north and spotted the familiar enemy at once.
His expression changed drastically as his eyes widened in shock and he shook his head in fear.
It was not easy for them to escape from the encirclement and leave the Specter Dragon far behind.
He thought that everything was fine now, but it had actually caught up again.
They had run at least 20 to 30 kilometers throughout their journey. They couldn’t shake it off even at such a distance?
David and the others were in a very quiet environment, but the livestream was very noisy.
“I’ve said that these two people are jinxes. Don’t you believe me?”
“I’m sure there’s nothing David can do now. It’s impossible for his luck to be that great.”
“Seeing that he’s finally going to die this time, I don’t know why, but I actually feel a little reluctant now.”
“That can’t be helped. All paths are chosen by oneself.”
David saw that the oddly-shaped thing was getting closer. He could not care about anything else. “Haven’t you guys learned a lot? Tell me, what’s its name? What is its weakness?”
Anthony was slightly stunned and said apologetically, “I don’t know what it is either.”
“You don’t know either?” He saw that Freda knew so much about herbs in the afternoon.
Come to think of it, Anthony should be very diligent in familiarizing himself with other things and they would complement each other.
He did not expect Anthony to not know anything about it.
Freda was roused by their conversation. She asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, what’s the matter?”
Anthony replied subconsciously, “Nothing much. It’s just a small matter. Go to sleep.”
Upon hearing that, Freda was unable to believe his words so easily.
She looked around and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar creature.
Upon seeing the Spectral Dragon, her eyes widened in shock. “Why… why is it here again?”
Anthony shook his head. “I don’t know either.”
Freda turned to David, who also shook his head.
Freda’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
The Specter Dragon heard their conversation, and its speed suddenly increased as it charged toward them.
Anthony and Freda were long prepared. They immediately crept toward David’s house, leaving him alone.
David frowned and looked at the two people who were hugging each other. He couldn’t help but curse, “Shameless couple.”
Seeing that the Spectral Dragon was about to attack, he raised his wooden club and swung it towards the Spectral Dragon.
However, it was as if the strike hadn’t landed at all. Instead, his hand hurt from the shock.
“Phoo…” The Specter Dragon attacked again. David could only dodge and prepared to observe its behavior to find its weakness.
The Specter Dragon was very fast. If one was not careful, he would be pricked by the feelers on its forehead.
The Specter Dragon boiled with rage, seeing its attack fail. It’s next wave was even faster.
David was not in a good mood. He said in a low voice, “You lured it here and you’re going to pretend that nothing happened?”
Anthony said apologetically, “I’m sorry. My injuries have yet to recover. I can’t help you.”
Freda leaned into Anthony’s arms and whispered, “I’m a weak woman. How would I dare to go forward?”
David sneered. “You have to know that if I fail, you two will be as good as dead too.”
Anthony and Freda looked at each other and suddenly felt that what he said made a lot of sense. They nodded gently.
Just when David thought they would come out and help him, Anthony and Freda turned and limped away.
