Chapter 28: Two Abilities at Once!

Somewhere on the Pangu Continent.

A violent headache was like countless steel needles, wildly churning in his brain; every muscle in his body felt as if millions of ants were ferociously gnawing at him.

Lu Yuan awoke from his stupor, feeling his profound weakness.

The sun hung high in the sky, beside the mountain-sized corpse of a fire lizard; several she-wolves were nearby, incessantly licking him.

They didn’t eat their master, which was good.

The sun was at its zenith, the time was 12 noon.

Since he had fallen unconscious, he had probably slept for seven hours? It couldn’t possibly have been a whole day, could it?

“You’ve been guarding me, thank you.”

“This is what it feels like to be severely depleted…”

This battle had truly drained his vital energy.

Lu Yuan wanted to move, but found his body unresponsive; a command from his brain was met with a considerable delay in his body’s reaction.

Every cell in his body was transmitting a single signal: Don’t move, want to go on strike, just lie here, lie here until the end of time!

His brain roared mercilessly: “I need to scavenge, adrenaline! Come!”

“Transcendent Fire Seed, give me some strength!”

“And that…Eternal Body…lend me some energy!”

Even though his whole body was in excruciating pain and he was utterly exhausted, the thought of the great spoils waiting to be harvested finally overcame his bodily instincts. Lu Yuan extended a hand, retrieved dried spider meat from his storage space, and took a large bite.

He chewed twice before swallowing it whole.

Then he “glug-glugged” down several mouthfuls of cold water.

Immediately, a surge of fiery energy erupted from his stomach, coursing through his veins, nourishing every cell in his body.

After resting for half an hour, his hazy mental state slightly improved, and his muscles weren’t as sore.

“Whew… I feel like I’m coming back to life.”

He let out two gentle sighs, his lungs burning, as if he had inhaled gasoline—not very comfortable.

“Awoooo! Awoooo!” An old wolf limped to the scene.

Lu Yuan glanced at it.

[An old Pangu grey wolf with two broken ribs. If it were a wild animal, with such a severe injury, it would probably starve to death. Such a good dog, you shouldn’t leave it be, should you?]

“Lie down, don’t move!” Lu Yuan commanded ferociously.

The old wolf, seemingly aware of its broken bones, obediently lay on its side.

Its pink tongue hung out, its chest rose and fell heavily, its breathing labored, accompanied by some whimpering.

Lu Yuan retrieved another large basin of water from his storage space.

He first “glug-glugged” down two mouthfuls, moistening his parched lips.

Then he shared it with the wolves.

The pack was thirsty and quickly devoured the water.

Lu Yuan was still worried about the old wolf, so he knelt down and examined it for a while.

The wolf’s mental state wasn’t too bad; its single eye seemed unconcerned; it shouldn’t die anytime soon.

Lu Yuan remembered the saying “injured muscles and bones take a hundred days to heal.” In cases of minor fractures, as long as they don’t move around, the bones will heal naturally.

But if there’s significant displacement, and the bone damages surrounding tissues, it won’t heal by itself. At least the bone needs to be repositioned and rejoined before it can gradually recover.

However, he lacked the medical expertise to determine the wolf’s condition, so he temporarily abandoned the idea of meddling.

“I owe you a life, old friend!”

“When we get back, I’ll check the Midea Civilization’s records, find some medical supplies in the ruins, and treat your fracture.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t leave you.”

The old wolf lay on the ground, making “hmph-hmph” sounds.

It was just tired, closing its eyes, basking in the sun, treating pain like a passing cloud.

Wild animals are like weeds by the roadside; their greatest advantage is their endurance.

If a human’s bones were broken, they’d certainly groan and moan.

But wild animals often remain silent, enduring silently, waiting for recovery or death.

And its several wives stared at the fire lizard’s corpse with a dazed expression…

At first, they were cautious, afraid the fire lizard would suddenly rise and devour them.

One she-wolf boldly scratched it with her claw, then immediately retracted it.

Then, she bit it with her teeth.

The skin was too thick; she couldn’t bite through it.

Finally, discovering that the fire lizard was truly dead—how did it die?!—they turned to look at Lu Yuan, their eyes filled with awe. In the past, they saw Lu Yuan only as a rich “mark,” only the old wolf considered him its master.

But now… they were only awestruck.

The flesh of a transcendent being held immense allure for ordinary creatures.

However, this time, even if Lu Yuan offered it, they wouldn’t dare approach.

This was a formidable figure who could single-handedly kill a fire lizard; they’d better watch out for their own lives!

This indeed marked Lu Yuan as the alpha; they hoped he would eat first, and then it would be their turn.

At this moment, Lu Yuan, having eaten the spider meat, was slowly recovering his vitality, and was in a state of exhilaration.

A smile appeared on his face.

Because he felt the leap in his mind—”Transcendent Fire Seed”!

And the divine milestone—【Eternal Body】!

Two abilities at once!

He’d hit the jackpot!

“Transcendent Fire Seed” needs no explanation; it’s an ability that allows cultivation, continuously improving three-dimensional attributes, pushing beyond human limits.

If your attributes are insufficient, no matter how many skills you have, it’s useless.

A spear thrust might not even break a monster’s defense!

As for “Eternal Body,” it’s even more powerful.

【Eternal Body: Significantly increases lifespan, grants minor limb regeneration abilities, keeps personal ability values at peak condition for a long time, and prevents aging until the end of one’s natural lifespan.】

A divine milestone reward, truly powerful.

The value of “significantly increased lifespan, no aging” alone is unimaginable.

And, there’s the function of limb regeneration.

“I knew it, that’s why my whole body felt so awful… it was regeneration.”

Of course, the Eternal Body isn’t true immortality, it only extends lifespan.

Perhaps Pangu Continent really has something like a predetermined lifespan, where one dies immediately upon reaching it?

However, Lu Yuan vaguely felt that a certain extremely difficult-to-obtain “milestone” might reward an immortality-level ability?!

“Forget it, why think so much, one shouldn’t be greedy.”

“Maybe I’ll die in an accident tomorrow.”

As he rested, his “Explorer’s Eye” spotted a patch of intense gold in the cave, so he struggled to his feet.

“The lizard’s lair, could there be treasure?”

“You guys go check it out, quickly.” He dispatched two she-wolves to scout.

The fire lizard’s excrement made the she-wolves nervous, and they didn’t dare approach.

Lu Yuan cursed inwardly, “Useless things,” and could only cautiously inch his way forward.
