I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 30: Chapter 28 Two Abilities at Once, Eh!

Somewhere on Pangu Continent.

The severe headache was like countless steel needles, frantically stirring in his brain; every single muscle in his body felt as if millions of ants were crazily biting.

Lu Yuan woke up from his stupor, feeling an overwhelming weakness.

The bright sun hung in the sky, with the body of a fire lizard, as large as a small hill, beside him; a few she-wolves were close by, ceaselessly licking him with their tongues.

They hadn't eaten their master, which was good.

The sun was high, the time was 12 p.m.

How long had he slept since he had passed out, about 7 hours? Surely it hadn't been a whole day?

"You've been guarding me this whole time, thank you," he said.

"So this is what it feels like to be utterly drained," he thought.

This battle had truly damaged his essence.

Lu Yuan wanted to move, but found his body unresponsive; his brain would issue a command, and it would take a long time for his body to catch up.

Every cell in his body was sending a signal: I don't want to move, I want to strike, just lie here forever!

His brain let out a merciless roar, "I need to pick up trash, adrenaline! Come!"

"Extraordinary Spark, give me some strength!"

"And you, Eternal Body... lend me some energy!"

Despite the unbearable pain all over his body and extreme fatigue, the urge to scavenge finally overcame his body's natural instincts when he thought of the grand spoils of war awaiting him; Lu Yuan stretched out a hand and took out some spider meat jerky from his Storage Space, taking a big bite.

After chewing twice, he swallowed it down his throat.

Then he "glug glug" downed a few gulps of cold water.

Suddenly, a hot energy burst forth from his stomach; this energy, traveling through his veins, nourished every cell in his body.

After resting for half an hour, his hazy state of mind began to improve a bit, and his muscles were not as sore.

"Hu... I seem to have come back to life," he gasped.

After taking a couple of breaths, a burning sensation remained in his lungs, as if he had inhaled gasoline, not particularly comfortable.

"Awoo! Awoo!" Old Wolf hobbled over to the scene.

Lu Yuan gave it a glance.

[An old Pangu Grey Wolf with two broken ribs. If it were a wild animal with such serious injuries, it would probably starve to death, but such a good dog, you wouldn't just leave it be, would you?]

"Lie down, don't move!" Lu Yuan commanded fiercely.

Old Wolf seemed to know its bones were broken, and obediently lay down on its side.

Its pink tongue drooping down, its chest heaving with heavy, somewhat labored breathing that made noise.

Lu Yuan took out another large basin of clean water from his Storage Space.

He drank a couple of mouthfuls first to moisten his dry lips.

Then he shared the rest with the pack of wolves.

The wolves were somewhat thirsty and promptly lapped up the clear water until the basin was spotless.

Lu Yuan was still worried about Old Wolf and checked on it for a while.

The spirit of the creature wasn't too bad; its one-eyed gaze seemed indifferent, and it was unlikely to die any time soon.

Lu Yuan remembered the saying "Muscle and bone injuries take a hundred days to heal"; in the case of minor fractures, bones would slowly heal themselves as long as they were not moved around.

But if there was severe displacement and the bones damaged the surrounding tissues, such injuries could not self-heal. At least, the bones needed to be put back in place and pieced together in order to heal slowly.

Not having sufficient medical knowledge to confirm Old Wolf's condition, he could only abandon the idea of meddling with it for the time being.

"I owe you one, old buddy!" he said.

"When we get back, I'll look into the Meida Civilization's archives and search the ruins for some medical supplies to treat your fracture."

"Don't worry, I won't neglect you."

Old Wolf lay on the ground, emitting a "huhn huhn" sound.

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

Wild animals are like the weeds beside the road, easily overlooked, their greatest strength being their proficiency in enduring hardships.

If a human's bones were to be broken, he would definitely groan a few times.

But wild animals often remain silent, quietly bearing the pain, waiting for recovery, or the eventual arrival of death.

As for its mates, they looked at the Fire Lizard's corpse with a naive charm...

At first, they were extremely cautious, for fear that the Fire Lizard might suddenly burst forth and swallow them whole.

One of the maternal wolves boldly scratched it with a paw, then immediately retreated.

Then, it bit down with its teeth.

The hide was too thick, it couldn't bite through at all.

Eventually, they realized that the Fire Lizard was indeed dead, but how did it die?

They turned their heads to look at Lu Yuan, their eyes filled with reverence. In the past, they'd merely seen Lu Yuan as a wealthy "easy mark", with only Old Wolf regarding him as the master.

But now... they simply revered him.

The flesh and blood of an Extraordinary Life holds immense allure for ordinary life forms.

However, this time, Lu Yuan didn't offer it, and they didn't dare approach.

This was the man who could single-handedly kill a Fire Lizard, better be careful or they might lose their wolf lives!

This indeed was a sign of Lu Yuan being regarded as the alpha, they hoped that after Lu Yuan had his fill, it would be their turn.

At that moment, having eaten the Spider Meat, Lu Yuan had slowly regained a bit of his essence and was in an excited state.

A smile appeared on his face.

Because he felt the "Extraordinary Spark" leaping in his mind!

And the "God's" milestone—[Eternal Body]!

Two abilities at once!

I've struck it rich!

The "Extraordinary Spark" needs no explanation, an ability that allows for cultivation, endlessly enhancing three-dimensional attributes and breaking human limits.

If the attributes aren't sufficient, no number of skills will suffice.

A single spear thrust wouldn't even break a monster's defense!

As for the "Eternal Body", it's even more powerful.

[Eternal Body: Significantly increases personal lifespan, grants a minor ability of limb regeneration, and maintains personal ability values at their peak, ensuring one does not age until life's end limit. ]

God's milestone reward is indeed very powerful.

The value of "significantly increases personal lifespan, does not age", is unimaginable.

Furthermore, there's the function of limb regeneration.

"I knew it, why else would I feel so uncomfortable all over... It turns out it's because of regeneration."

Of course, the Eternal Body does not grant true immortality, it merely extends life.

Perhaps on the Pangu Continent, there really is such a thing as a great longevity, and once it's up, you'd drop dead instantly?

However, Lu Yuan faintly felt that maybe a milestone extremely hard to achieve could grant an Eternal Level ability?!

"Forget it, why think so much, one should not be greedy."

"Who knows, I might die from an accident tomorrow."

While resting, his "Explorer's Eye" caught a glimpse of a rich golden hue in the cave, so he struggled to get up from the ground.

"The lizard's lair, could there be some treasure hidden there?"

"You go check it out first, go quickly." He dispatched two maternal wolves to scout ahead.

The excrements of the Fire Lizard made the maternal wolves very nervous, they dared not approach at all.

Lu Yuan cursed in his heart, "Cowardly creatures", and could only move forward himself, cautiously and incrementally.
