I Got My Cheat Skill by Acting My Way into a Horror Protagonist Role Chapter 75

China, northern region.

"This commotion is coming from the southwest—"

"During previous divinations, there was no existence among those red foxes capable of achieving something like this. Has some variable appeared?"

"Huh—This venerable one actually cannot calculate it. The heavenly secrets seem abnormal..."

"It seems we must send someone down the mountain. We cannot let those sinister things escape..."

During daytime, Xiao Gui'an's combat power plummeted straight down. He wandered through the great mountains with the Chosen One of Fate, stopping and going, spending most of the time resting in places without sunlight.

Only during nighttime did he travel with the Chosen One of Fate.

Over three nights, Xiao Gui'an covered thousands of miles through the hundred-thousand-mile southwestern mountains, even earning some reputation along the way.

This time, he didn't get too close to human villages.

Because for this final remaining disaster, the famine disaster, Xiao Gui'an wasn't quite sure in what form it would descend.

The System also reminded him it would be best not to let the Chosen One of Fate obtain food from humans.

Otherwise, if karma connections were formed, once the famine disaster descended, those who had given food to the Chosen One of Fate would very likely become recipients of the calamity, easily getting implicated.

The famine disaster was also different from the previous two disasters. The destruction it caused wouldn't strike swiftly, but its duration would last much longer.

Within a short time, it would be difficult to find ways to deal with the famine disaster's effects.

So for these three days, everything the Chosen One of Fate ate came entirely from the unpolluted foods within the great mountains.

Whatever Xiao Gui'an caught, he fed to the Chosen One of Fate.

Based on information from its database, the System created a green recipe for Xiao Gui'an filled with instructions on how to make nutritious meals for infants.

Xiao Gui'an gathered materials locally within the mountains. If he couldn't find exact matches, he looked for similar yet non-toxic alternatives.

Plant-based medicinal ingredients and such were relatively easy, but when encountering moving ingredients, the yin energy-filled Ghost Bride would simply roll up her sleeves and make them stop moving.

Almost without causing any ripples, Xiao Gui'an spent three very smooth days with the Chosen One of Fate.

The little 'Scavenger' woke up early due to Xiao Gui'an's relaxed mental state and comfortable mood these past few days, living each day in great contentment and enjoyment.

The System had been continuously trying to send messages to headquarters, attempting to alert them about the anomalies occurring in this world, saying it vaguely sensed fluctuations indicating successful transmission.

Perhaps before long, they would receive support from headquarters, and then all problems would naturally resolve themselves.

The day of transition between old and new was drawing increasingly closer.

Calm as still water—if things continued like this, perhaps they had actually unknowingly passed through the Three Death Calamities?

Xiao Gui'an thought this way.

Tomorrow would be the seventh day.

Moonlight poured down, the surrounding environment extremely tranquil and quiet, as if even the last bird song had vanished within these endless mountain ranges.

"Today is a good day, a good day..."

"Good luck comes, wish me good luck comes..."

"Wumeng Mountains connect to mountains beyond mountains, moonlight sprinkles down..."

The ghost-like Xiao Gui'an, holding the peacefully sleeping Chosen One of Fate, drifted through the mountain forests, humming a highly rhythmic melody.

The little 'Scavenger' swayed its blood-colored tentacles on his shoulder, the eyeballs at the tentacle tips slightly rotating, seeming to hit every beat precisely.

[What a beautiful night, so close to nature—it's truly healing for body and mind!]

[System, look at this air unpolluted by industrialization, how fresh! Looking around, everything is green scenery, so good for the eyes—]

[And look at that moon—today's moon is still curved! How beautiful!

Huh, why does it seem to be getting rounder? And it seems to be changing color too, why is it constantly turning red? Do I have pink eye?]

[Speaking of which, this stretch of road feels like we've walked it several times. Why does it feel like we've been going in circles? And it feels a bit hot—where is this hot wind coming from in the middle of the night?]

[AHHHHHHHHH!—] In the end, only the System's screams answered Xiao Gui'an.

[Host—] The Little Light Sphere's cry in his mind seemed to instantly become extremely distant.

Xiao Gui'an watched as the moon in the sky grew rounder and rounder, then became soaked in endless blood-red color, as if burning, emitting blazing light that didn't belong to it. He immediately felt dizzy and disoriented, as if heaven and earth were spinning.

The surrounding scenery began rapidly changing and disappearing as if melting, gradually transforming into another terrifying appearance.

The temperature rose violently in an instant, even making the surrounding space slightly distorted.

A gust of hot wind blowing directly into his face, carrying coarse sand grains, swept past Xiao Gui'an's side, lifting the black hair that blocked his vision, also allowing him to clearly see exactly what kind of environment he was currently in.

Lifting his gaze, what lay before him was no longer the tranquil mountains, only an endless desert spreading out before Xiao Gui'an.

Rolling yellow sand, dust filling the sky, the bright moon overhead had now transformed into an enormous blazing sun. This looked like a death realm that would absolutely never nurture living beings.

Xiao Gui'an: ???

Xiao Gui'an's mind went completely blank, only wanting to kneel down on the spot.

Unable to detect, unable to perceive.

The Three Death Calamities, the famine disaster, had descended at this moment—
