Chapter 30: Returning Fully Loaded!
Lu Yuan gently sighed, and following the golden light emitted by the "Explorer's Eye," he dug vigorously into the ground.
After digging for about half a meter, he directly unearthed an SSR-level Super Spoils!
A metal box the size of a safe contained a red crystal stone, which emitted a faint glow in the dim environment.
[Red Spirit Crystal, a natural rare wonder that can absorb, purify, and slowly release "Spirit."]
[It can be used to cultivate the Extraordinary Spark, accelerating the speed of cultivation. It also can cultivate other cultivatable abilities.]
[The quality of this crystal stone is about B+ level on the Pangu Continent.]
"I knew it, why this golden light was so intense, it turns out there was a super treasure in the cave!" Lu Yuan's emotions, just calmed, surged again, excited to the point where even his body temperature rose significantly.
He studied the red crystal stone for a long time.
This palm-sized crystal stone was the biggest spoil he had found.
A natural wonder!
Combining the bunker's environment, metal doors, and such, he conjured up a splendid drama in his mind.
This was once a high-class warehouse.
The scientists of the Meida Civilization not only researched the "Red Spirit Crystal" but also experimented on mutant monsters like the Fire Lizard.
After a disaster, the Meida Civilization perished, but the lizard survived and continued to grow to this day.
"Now, this treasure has fallen into my hands."
"Moreover, I also possess the Extraordinary Spark... just perfect for cultivation."
The feeling was like someone bringing a pillow when you're drowsy, hitting the jackpot when short of money, utterly exhilarating!
He looked around once more, and with no more golden light to be seen, it indicated that the treasures here had been thoroughly excavated by him.
The Fire Lizard's droppings were everywhere, nearly ruining his sense of smell.
Lu Yuan cursed that the creature was unhygienic, then gave another look at the big iron sphere—The "Civilization Management Device," he still couldn't bear to abandon it.
This device was broken, but maybe one day in the future, he would acquire the necessary knowledge and fix it.
An opportunity to connect with human civilization... He truly didn't want to give it up lightly.
Moreover, the big iron sphere's timer seemed to be working, even if only as a clock, it could serve a decent purpose.
"How can I transport it out?"
A sudden idea struck him, and he directly touched the big iron sphere, stuffing it into the Storage Space. (Any non-living material touched by hand can be directly put into the Storage Space.)
The volume was just right; the Storage Space was completely filled!
After leaving the cave, he boldly took out the big iron sphere from the Storage Space and set it on the ground, letting it bask quietly in the sun.
"Having more superpowers, having more ways to solve problems!"
…
Glancing up at the dead body of the giant lizard, he noticed that flies were already swarming at the wounds.
The flies pounced en masse, sucked the toxic blood, and were then poisoned to death, leaving a horrific scene of corpses strewn across the ground.
[An Extraordinary Life that had bled a lot and was stricken with neurotoxic spider venom. (Deceased)]
[This body is slowly rotting, predicted that in one day, most of the flesh would be of no value.]
Lu Yuan sighed, acknowledging the drawback of using poison; it contaminated the entire spoil...
He dared not test just how powerful the spider venom was.
"Need to deal with this thing quickly, while the residual might of the Fire Lizard is still present, other creatures dare not approach. Given more time, who knows if other wild animals would come running over."
Lu Yuan walked around the body and felt somewhat at a loss on how to proceed.
He thought the thick scale armor might be a great treasure.
Tanning it, he could make a leather coat, leather pants, leather shoes, or at the very least, it was the leather of an Extraordinary Creature, which should have good insulating properties.
Living here alone with only one set of clothes, which would eventually wear out, he had to learn to make his clothes, shoes.
"In case there's winter here, having some warm items would allow a comfortable passage."
As for the Lizard Meat... he would look to see if there were any non-toxic parts.
With that thought, Lu Yuan began chopping vigorously with an axe.
Truth be told, he was very tired. His physical strength was severely depleted, each axe swing requiring all his effort.
If he could stay still, he would have done so long ago.
But if he rested, and in the blink of an eye the lizard could have rotted, or wild animals might have come running over. It was a scene too regretful even for a scavenger to accept.
He could only muster that little bit of energy, forcing himself to work.
Such is the civilization of one person.
In battle, one can only rely on oneself.
In work, one also has to do everything alone.
In fatigue, force oneself.
Of course, the joy of a bountiful harvest also belongs solely to oneself.
Lu Yuan was quite delighted and even hummed a small tune.
Starting from the soft abdomen, he chopped axe by axe, completely opening up the Fire Lizard's outer skin to reveal the red innards.
The scene was downright bloody.
If this were a hundred days earlier, Lu Yuan definitely couldn't have done such labor.
Back then, he was a city person who had never even killed a chicken; slaughtering a fish made him tremble with fright... it meant killing a living being!
Enough to scare anyone to death!
But now, he had become accustomed to these sights...
It wasn't about indiscriminate killing, but deriving nutrients from nature that could keep him alive—this was the operation rule of the Pangu Continent, survival of the fittest, natural selection.
