176: Chapter 176 The Spider-Sense Has Not Disappeared!

An Ke thought about what would happen in 4 days.

The Hamster's Hardness attribute would increase by 500 points.

Wait! To be precise, it should be in a little over 3 days.

By the time they left the Bamboo Forest, he would likely have already bestowed the Hardness attribute upon Three Hairs.

At that point, he could completely use Three Hairs as a brick to smack things with!

An Ke was amused.

Just thinking about that scene was hilarious.

If he tied Three Hairs to a bamboo stalk...

Then it would be equivalent to a hard hammer.

An Ke felt this idea was quite good.

However, the Little Hamster didn't have any Hardness value yet, so there was no rush to tell it.

Inside the Camp.

Three Hairs, sitting on the ground, looked around.

"Why did Little Mouse just feel a chill run down my spine?"

...

The evening was An Ke's time for crafting tools.

Primarily ceramics and ironware.

With various miscellaneous small tools and trinkets as supplements.

Anyway, with his Portable Space, he could just toss the finished items inside.

And take them out when needed.

It was worth mentioning that,

Now, smelting iron no longer required An Ke's personal involvement.

Little Scar and the others were already capable of handling it.

But tonight, Little Scar skipped class; it was busy trying to curry favor with the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey.

However, the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey paid it no mind.

Instead, it silently stayed by An Ke's side.

...

The night passed without incident!

The next day!

[Time until Hamster gains +500 Hardness attribute: 2.8 days.]

[Time until Natural Affinity level increases, estimated: 9 days.]

Upon waking up, An Ke was immediately dumbfounded.

Because the fog within the Bamboo Forest was even denser than it had been at its peak yesterday.

Beyond five meters, everything was almost completely hazy.

Seeing An Ke awake, the animals immediately gathered around.

"Benefactor, this is the first time I've ever seen such heavy fog," Leopard Mom said gravely.

She seemed somewhat uneasy.

Not just her; Tiger Mom was the same.

"In these conditions, our sense of smell is also severely impaired."

"It makes us feel almost blind."

An Ke suddenly understood why Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom seemed so apprehensive.

Their most crucial sense, smell, had failed.

How could they possibly maintain a good state of mind in such a situation?

Three Hairs was also affected.

"Little Mouse can't smell anything around anymore! So scary."

"Master, today Little Mouse will stay by your side the whole time."

The Hamster decided it would stick to An Ke all day.

"Lord An Ke!"

At this moment, after the animals had finished their greetings, Kata stepped forward.

"Are we still traveling today?"

An Ke carefully looked outside.

A hazy expanse, as if they were in a fairyland.

But this fairyland felt fraught with danger.

"Can you still continue to navigate?"

Kata nodded: "Yes!"

"Then let's set off!" An Ke was very decisive.

Due to the density of the Bamboo Forest, once fog formed, it was difficult to disperse.

Waiting for this fog to clear might take a week.

The Old Crocodile Couple, the Giant Python, and the Cow Mother and Daughter were still waiting for him.

They couldn't afford to waste time in this situation.

Although the fog greatly affected the animals,

An Ke's [Spider Sense] was not impaired.

If there was any real danger, he would sense it immediately and react accordingly.

As for possible wild men,

They would surely be affected by the fog too, so they weren't a major concern.

The animals naturally obeyed An Ke completely.

Whatever he said, they would do.

Kata nodded, "Alright!"

"We're already very close to where I encountered the panda."

"We'll definitely get there before noon."

In such conditions, Kata actually felt it was better not to go out if possible.

But since An Ke decided to go, he naturally wouldn't oppose.

Anyway, with a little superhuman like An Ke around, it shouldn't be too dangerous.

With the decision made,

Everyone washed up, ate something to fill their stomachs, and then set off.

This time, the group's pace was even slower.

Due to the fog's effect, Kata had to stop each time to determine the direction, which took a while.

But even so, just as Kata had said, An Ke's group

Arrived at the place where Kata had encountered the panda before noon.

"This is the place, Lord An Ke!"

Kata was delighted at successfully completing the task.

He immediately moved to point out the exact spot where the panda had been.

But he was abruptly yanked back by An Ke.

The force of the pull was so strong it sent Kata tumbling to the ground.

Kata was badly startled.

He said, still shaken, "Lord An Ke, you..."

"What's wrong?"

Outside, in the live broadcast room,

The audience was also startled by An Ke's sudden action.

"Why did Boss An do that?"

"Is there danger?"

"It's all foggy, can't see a thing!"

"Don't jinx it! If a Giant Centipede shows up now, things could get bad."

"Could you not be a jinx?"

...

The dense fog gave An Ke's group extremely poor visibility.

The viewers watched with bated breath.

They were also curious about what An Ke had discovered.

Inside the live stream!

Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom immediately went on high alert.

"Benefactor, is something wrong?"

"Where is it?"

Little Scar and the Monkey troop also prepared for combat in an instant.

The former even shielded the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey behind it.

"Milady, stay behind me; it's safer that way."

"I feel my calling!" King Kong shouted.

An Ke looked at the animals who had reacted instantly.

He was very satisfied.

"However, this time the danger isn't an enemy, but..."

As he spoke, An Ke looked down at his surroundings.

Under the puzzled gazes of the animals and Kata, he picked up a stone.

Then he threw it forward.

As the stone landed, the seemingly ordinary ground immediately collapsed.

A huge trap appeared before everyone in the blink of an eye.

The trap was at least five or six meters wide, and inside were sharpened bamboo stakes.

Seeing this, Kata was scared out of his wits.

"A t-trap?!"

"Such a huge trap?!"

The animals beside him also felt their scalps prickle.

If they had stepped on it by accident, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Especially for larger animals like Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom.

Once impaled, death would be almost certain.

In the live broadcast room,

The audience broke out in a cold sweat.

"Such a vicious trap?!"

"If it weren't for An Ke, I would never have noticed that trap there."

"Me neither."

"If it were me, I'd have stupidly stepped right onto it."

A citizen of Rich Dog Country: "Lord An Ke has saved Kata once again, saved our Rich Dog Country!"

"It's a good thing Kata has Lord An Ke by his side."

"That was a close call!!"

"Was this trap made by the wild men?"

"It must have been made by the wild men!"

"Placed here... could it be to hunt Giant Pandas?"

"Damn it! If that's true, these wild men deserve to die!"

"Pandas are so cute, and they hunt Giant Pandas?"

"Such scourges of the wilderness should be eradicated."

...

Inside the live stream.

Kata was extremely grateful. If not for An Ke,

He would have definitely stepped onto it just now.

And given how sharp the stakes were, he would have surely died.

But what puzzled Kata was that An Ke was still frowning.
