Chapter 100: 'My Leisurely Journey in the Pangu Continent Affairs
The 17,000-kilometer long march was not merely a simple journey.
It began with stepping out, making a decision, and relentlessly walking, jogging...
Once truly on the road, Lu Yuan felt rather lost, even though he was now a Level Three extraordinary creature, facing the unknown fate alone always gave him some trepidation.
Especially since the more he knew about the great horrors hidden in the Pangu Continent, the more despair he felt.
With no data and no maps, he only knew his destination was to the east.
With every step, his foot would sink into the soft soil, engulfing his entire shoe.
"Shush... Shush..."
Under the thick layer of fallen leaves lay hidden all sorts of bizarre and deadly insects, unknown to any.
Mosquitoes and flies were everywhere, clustering in swarms.
On the branches, some spider webs were as sturdy as fishing nets! Once caught, there was no escape!
Occasionally, they also concealed some mutant venomous snakes.
[Although lacking superpower, this mutated snake's neurotoxicity greatly increased, capable of killing an elephant within three seconds. Don't get bitten!]
[Extraordinary Level: Level Zero.]
Yes, Level Zero, but still mutated.
To grow to Level One, they just needed an opportunity.
For instance, if they ate Lu Yuan, a Level Three creature, perhaps they would level up?
Of course, these challenges were still surmountable, after all, for this expedition, Old Lu had made many preparations.
He wore a mask, donned snake shedding clothes, held a leather shield and a long Black Iron Blade (a dagger was too short to chop through the bushes), driving away most of the wild animals.
Even Old Wolf had a pair of boots to prevent bites—okay, he looked very uncomfortable, his face constipated.
But if it dared to take them off, Lu Yuan would dare to thrash it.
"Silly dog, I'm afraid a snake might jump out and bite you to death!"
Sunlight streamed through the dense layers of leaves above, dotting the ground with spots the size of copper coins.
For several days, he cut a path, climbed a nearby peak, and saw range upon range of mountains, stretching endlessly like the roof of the world.
The terrain of the Pangu Continent was much more complex than Earth's.
Thousands of cliffs stood side by side, numerous precipices connected into one, resembling a gigantic screen.
The tallest one soared into the clouds like a sharp sword thrusting into the heavens, magnificent and imposing.
"Probably about five or six thousand meters..."
Lu Yuan saw faint traces of gold and red.
Gold signified treasure.
Red signified a creature with high "Qi."
However, such a level of gold light seemed hardly worth a detour... picking up trash here and there, the journey seemed too long.
But the urge to pick trash was creeping up, it would be uncomfortable not to pick some!
Lu Yuan hesitated continuously, then sighed deeply.
"Comrade, do we need to collect treasure... In the Early Epoch, there are always some easily obtainable supplies."
Old Cat hid within Lu Yuan's backpack, beginning to wriggle "squeakily."
It stretched out its paw, caressing Lu Yuan's back: "Great Cat Mama once said: You can't obtain all the treasures of the world, especially when your backpack is full, opening a treasure chest can only bring pain."
"Tsk, you guys also have that kind of... crappy game with limited backpacks?" Lu Yuan laughed, his backpack indeed filled to the brim.
And the scruffy wolf beside him was the happiest one here.
It could always distinguish the scent of a fresh female wolf amidst thousands of scents.
Now with his master's support, its wicked thoughts were practically overflowing on its face.
However, Lu Yuan traveled during the morning and rested at night, never staying in one place for too long, so it was useless to think about it.
Unless it had a way to have a one-night stand or something.
"Awoo!!" Occasionally, standing atop a high slope and looking out over the endless jungle, Old Wolf couldn't help but howl.
It gazed as it initially did, enjoying the primal freedom, and seeing the wildness of the forest, in these howls, it seemed as if in an instant, the seas turned into mulberry fields, confusion turned into poetry, and calling turned into singing.
"Awoo~~"
Lu Yuan also joined in the howling loudly.
Even Old Cat couldn't help but let out a "meow," feeling a bit embarrassed, as it always felt such behavior was not befitting of noble etiquette.
It was a proud warrior, not a beast.
Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly, "You fellow, really can't loosen up!"
Old Cat dared not speak.
The current pace of advance was quite good.
Lu Yuan estimated he could walk fifty kilometers of mountain road in a day.
If hungry, he would just find a clearing to eat something, and at night he could sleep in a tent. With reliable companions, keeping watch at night was not a problem.
At this rate, it would take over 350 more days to reach Sky City.
Of course, that was the ideal state in theory. In reality, it would be much slower.
During the journey, many unpredictable stories always occurred, encountering new friends, or formidable enemies…
Thus, Lu Yuan wrote a diary, recording these interesting things.
"My Leisurely Journey through the Pangu Continent," this was also a title Lu Yuan finalized after deep thought.
If written as a web novel, it would surely be a bestseller!
"On my 1555th day in Pangu Continent, I started this new diary, also to increase my knowledge during this long journey."
"I will record all the interesting stories, which will also be precious memories for the future."
"Day 1559, feeling a bit tired from walking, the scenery is pleasant, taking a day off."
"I noticed Old Wolf secretly flirting with a she-wolf, that she-wolf had white fur on her leg. Tsk, damn dog, it's a day off today, let it be."
"Day 1573, got bitten by something, damn it, taking a day off."
"I noticed Old Wolf flirting with the she-wolf again at night, that she-wolf had a tuft of black hair on her leg, he has good taste, huh." Read new chapters at empire
"Day 1586, I got bitten by a bug again! Are Snake Shedding Clothes fake?"
"Old Cat and Old Wolf, those two guys, together flirting with a mutant she-wolf… such a huge wolf, like a small calf, Old Wolf was pressed under her, seeming rather tiny. He let out a wail, and I was very happy."
"Day 1599, Old Wolf actually encountered an Extraordinary Level 1 she-wolf! Man, her superpower is physical enhancement, it's time to improve genes."
…
"Old Wolf, oh Old Wolf, why are you so degenerate? When you returned to the camp this morning, your legs were so weak you could hardly walk, are you expecting me to carry you?"
"Your previous ambitions, have you forgotten them? Confucius said: I examine myself three times a day… You can't go on like this!"
…
"Day 1617, Old Wolf encountered a pink she-wolf. That she-wolf is really cute, and can even charm her kind… let's just let it try."
"Day 1643, what an eye-opener, there's actually a green she-wolf in the world!"
"That stylish tuft of green fur, let him try it out! You also get to enjoy a green day!"
"How many days was it? Day 1677, a purple Pangu Grey Wolf! My Lord… nature is truly amazing."
…
