Life Dungeon Game

Before he could even make a move, the little squirrel sprang up with a somersault and darted into the bushes.

They even know how to play dead.

He Ao chuckled to himself.

He could have caught the squirrel, but there was no need; he had already achieved his goal.

This meat is edible and won't kill you.

He Ao took out a knife, cut off a small piece of meat, brought it to his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

A twisted will surged into his brain, attempting to corrupt his spirit.

Then it vanished like a clay ox sinking into the sea, never to return.

The rampant pollution from the creatures in the ruins seemed stronger than that from the creatures in the instance world, but it was still within an acceptable range for Heo.

Along with this pollution entering He Ao's body, there was also something gradually accumulating in He Ao's throat.

energy.

The moment this energy appeared, He Ao quickly took a deep breath and gathered the 'weather' in his chest.

He then allowed the two forces to converge. Following the guidance of the small book in his memory, he let the two energies flow through his body for a week before merging and transforming in his chest cavity into the five elements of Qi to nourish his five internal organs, finally converging in his dantian.

It's effective; it can be used for cultivation.

He Ao took out cumin and chili powder and sprinkled them on the roasted meat. While cutting the meat and putting it in his mouth, he focused on his cultivation.

The roasted meat, with its subtle fruity aroma, exploded between his lips and teeth.

Before long, He Ao had eaten all the roasted meat on the rack.

The energy from this piece of meat was exceptionally considerable. His physical attributes increased by 6 points, reaching 193, and a large portion of the energy used for 'refining essence into qi' was also gathered.

With just a little more energy gathered, He Ao could compress it together and cultivate a new wisp of 'Innate Qi'.

After cultivating the first wisp of 'Innate Qi' and breaking through to the Refining Essence into Qi realm, He Ao felt that the subsequent synthesis of 'Innate Qi' was much easier and no longer as strenuous as before.

Perhaps this is a breakthrough in one's realm.

After eating his fill, He Ao took out his water bottle, drank several mouthfuls of water, packed his things, and prepared to continue his journey.

Actually, if he could still eat, he would like to continue cultivating, but he was too full to eat anymore.

Food is food, and energy is energy. After the energy is gathered, the food still falls into the stomach to await digestion.

He looked up and surveyed his surroundings, noticing some red berries scattered on the ground.

He gently raised his hand, and a fruit appeared directly in his palm.

Retrieving objects remotely.

The little squirrel just now seemed to be eating this fruit, so it shouldn't be poisonous.

He picked up a few fruits, rinsed them in the stream, wiped them clean, and put them in his backpack. He then found several intact parts of the giant lizard, cut off a few good pieces of meat, wrapped them in his own large cloth bag, and carried them on his back.

This meat should be enough for him to eat until tomorrow.

One of the biggest advantages of telekinesis is that you don't have to bend over to pick up small items; you can simply raise your hand and grab them.

He tidied himself up and continued towards the tower.

As the saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," He Ao had been walking for several hours, but it seemed that the distance to the tower had not shortened much.

Based on this ratio, it would probably take him one or two days to reach the tower.

Shortly after He Ao left, the little squirrel that he had just forced to eat meat ran back and peeked around the fire, sniffing around curiously.

Then it found the broken bones that Heo had dropped on the ground, stripped them of their flesh, and put them in its mouth.

Just as it caught the bone, the grass in the distance swayed slightly.

Startled, it darted into the bushes on the other side.

The tall grass slowly parted, and a small squirrel, already dead and entangled in branches, rolled to the side of the fire.

The fire, still warm, scorched the dried blood from the corpse.

After a while, accompanied by the sound of trees cracking, the little squirrel, which had been dead for a long time, slowly stood up, its twisted body covered in blood slowly approaching the fire.

He sniffed lightly.

Chapter 195 A Lament in the Night (Please subscribe, add to your favorites, and vote for monthly tickets)

Based on the data collected by the research institute, it seems that the passageways of the ruins were located in relatively safe places for explorers to enter.

The area with a radius of about 1.5 kilometers centered on the point of entry into the ruins seems to be a safe zone for beginners. In this area, no very strong monsters will appear on the first day; the highest level will be E.

Of course, if you stay for more than a day, or leave the area, it's uncertain what kind of strange beasts you will encounter.

If you're lucky, you might directly enter a safer area full of newbies; if you're unlucky...

He Ao lowered his head, looking at the small section of withered yellow bone that remained at his feet, and remained silent for a moment.

Before him lay what appeared to be a vast plaza, with scattered fragments of yellowish-white bones mixed with black mud and dust, creating a rather spectacular sight.

There are not many human skeletons among these remains. In fact, human skeletons that have been preserved for hundreds of years are still a minority. Most of them are large bones that do not look like human bones.

Some animals have even left behind complete skeletons.

It was nearly dark by then, and the light from the three suns in the sky was gradually fading as they set towards the horizon.

He Ao squatted down, grabbed a handful of black mud from under his feet, and a faint smell of humus wafted over.

On this dark soil, countless creatures once perished; their remains were decomposed by microorganisms and transformed into this humus-rich soil.

Humus-rich soil is generally exceptionally fertile and suitable for plant growth.

He looked up and saw only the vast black soil gradually merging into the dim night sky, with hardly any greenery in sight.

This is illogical; even with excessive fertility, plants should still grow.

He Ao threw the soil back into his hand and took two steps back.

He planned to go around the large square.

As night approaches, while no terrifying creatures capable of covering the entire ruins will emerge at night, some powerful beings that only appear in the darkness will still roam the ruins.

The ruins are more dangerous at night than during the day.

Furthermore, human vision deteriorates in the dark. Even with He Ao's enhanced abilities, he is only better than an ordinary person and cannot compare to his daytime self.

So he planned to find some streets that looked safer and spend more time bypassing this black soil.

And he's a little hungry now.

He Ao glanced at the gradually darkening sky, picked up his suitcase, and turned into a relatively well-preserved street.

The streets were unusually quiet, and in some of the dark buildings lay the incomplete corpses of giant lizards.

He frowned, walked around the corpses, and continued forward.

After walking about a kilometer further, he began to see some simple living creatures, such as hyenas hunting in the twilight.

He glanced around, gathered some firewood, and climbed onto the rooftop of a building.

"call--"

A cry of an eagle came from the sky. He looked up and saw a giant eagle with a wingspan of more than three meters fly over his head and fly away from the tower.

It looks delicious.

He Ao

I took a breath, but unfortunately the eagle ran too fast.

He chose this building because it was the tallest in the vicinity. Standing on the rooftop surrounded by low walls, he had a commanding view and could see most of the surrounding streets.

There's also a shorter building nearby, not far away, so you can jump over it.

If He Ao is surrounded in this building, he can jump directly to the building next door to break through.

He Ao tidied up, set up a barbecue grill in the stairwell on the rooftop, and started grilling meat.

After half a day of travel, his food reserves were almost depleted. After practicing martial arts, his appetite and digestive ability had increased.

I don't realize how hungry I get when I'm not exercising much, but once I start, I get hungry really fast.

Soon, the grilled meat began to release its tender, juicy oil.

The meat of this lizard is really good; it's tender and smooth, fatty but not greasy. Paired with various barbecue seasonings, and finally sprinkled with cumin.

Wonderful.

Indeed, there's nothing in this world that a barbecue can't solve.

After sterilizing the dagger in his hand with fire, He Ao began to feast.

In no time, he had eaten half of the large piece of meat.

At this moment, the energy in his dantian was completely filled.

He stopped what he was doing, focused his mind, and pressed down hard. The five elements transformed into yin and yang energies, which then quickly converged into a faint, transcendent aura.

The moment that wisp of energy coalesced, He Ao felt something stir within him, and he looked up at the sky.

The world is responding to him.

Unlike the feeling of returning to a mother's embrace in the main world, the sense of intimacy in the ruins was faint. However, the moment this feeling arose, He Ao felt that his affinity with the surrounding energy had increased slightly, and his energy absorption efficiency had improved.

This feeling...

It's like the difference between a biological mother and a very wealthy godmother.

However, the most indifferent world was the instance world. When He Ao broke through to the Qi Induction stage using the identity of Rigid, he basically did not feel any feedback from the world.

Of course, it's also possible that the instance world is unable to provide feedback.

He Ao took a deep breath. He hadn't expected that refining essence into qi in the ruins could also increase his affinity with the ruins.

The power of martial arts may not be so simple.
