Dragon's Origin

Chapter 71: Carelessness (Part 2)

Many people don't pay attention to these subtle injuries, but over time, they can cause great damage to the body. Wang Sheng had already experienced this before.

When Wang Sheng's Yuan Hun was first able to absorb spiritual Qi, Wang Sheng discovered that the spiritual Qi didn't immediately strengthen his body. Instead, it slowly repaired the hidden injuries he sustained during training on Earth, which took a lot of effort. Having learned that lesson, Wang Sheng would definitely be careful not to repeat the same mistake.

After crossing a mountain ahead, there was a seemingly large plain. Of course, it was now densely forested, covered with thick vegetation.

However, the combat awareness little man seemed to feel differently about this place, conveying a sense of intimacy to Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng didn't know why.

Standing on the mountaintop and looking around, his enhanced eyes didn't detect any strong aura in this area. This indicated that it was relatively safe.

Wang Sheng discovered the ability to sense auras in Shanglin City. If powerful cultivators harbored strong hostility or battle intent, they would emit a faint aura that Wang Sheng could vaguely detect.

Since there were no strange auras in this area, and the combat awareness little man didn't give any warnings, Wang Sheng felt a little relieved. He carefully descended the mountain and cautiously made his way toward the center of the plain.

After walking for almost a day, Wang Sheng finally understood why the combat awareness little man felt a sense of intimacy. On the morning of the second day, Wang Sheng discovered traces of human habitation in the dense forest.

To be precise, they were traces left by humans from many years ago. In this plain area, beneath the dense vegetation, Wang Sheng discovered the ruins of a small village.

The village was small, just a small village with a dozen households on the outskirts. All the rooms in the entire village had collapsed and been covered by various types of vegetation for countless years. Based on Wang Sheng's experience, it would have taken at least two to three hundred years to become this dilapidated.

The Thousand Absolutes Land was probably inhabited by humans several hundred years ago. This was the conclusion Wang Sheng drew from the ruins of this small village. As for why it became the Thousand Absolutes Land, Wang Sheng didn't know, and probably few people knew.

This place was not bad. It was a plain area without any particularly powerful demonic beasts, suitable for Wang Sheng to recuperate for a few days. Most importantly, the surrounding vegetation provided Wang Sheng with a lot of edible things. After spending so many days with so many experts, the supplies Wang Sheng was carrying were almost exhausted, so this was a good opportunity to replenish them.

After carefully searching the small village, Wang Sheng first found a well. This was the villagers' water source. It was well-maintained at the time, with the well walls and mouth all made of stone, very sturdy and deep underground, and had not collapsed.

Plants grew around the well, but they grew from the outside. They only covered the well mouth. Wang Sheng simply cleared it and cleaned the well mouth. He used his helmet to draw some water and tested it with some insects. It was not poisonous, a good source of water.

In addition, Wang Sheng wandered around the village and found two cellars. However, these cellars were simply dug directly into the ground, and now they had mostly collapsed and were of no use.

There was a particularly thick tree in the village. It was not known whether it was originally in the village or grew up later after the village was abandoned. Anyway, four or five people like Wang Sheng could not hug it.

The lowest branch of this tree became Wang Sheng's resting place. The wide canopy above provided shelter, and it was high enough off the ground, at least fifteen or sixteen meters. Birds might not be able to see it, and even if the demonic beasts below could see it, they might not be able to climb up. The best thing was that the place was about two meters in diameter, wide enough. Except for the lack of a roof and walls, it was definitely an ideal dwelling.

Wang Sheng spent half a day cutting down some branches and building a tree house on the tree. These were the simplest things for a jungle expert who was proficient in wilderness survival. In this way, the tree was much safer and more comfortable.

After sorting all this out, it was already evening. Wang Sheng simply ate and drank something, set up some small traps around, and then crawled into the tree house and had a good night's sleep.

This was the most comfortable sleep Wang Sheng had since entering the Thousand Absolutes Land. In the previous days, there was always a group of powerful tails behind him, and there were many unknown dangers ahead, making Wang Sheng unable to sleep soundly. He even slept with one eye open.

Although cultivation and a strong physique could allow Wang Sheng to cope with all this, no matter how much he cultivated, it could not compare to real sleep, especially deep sleep.

Wang Sheng was indeed tired, both physically and mentally. He slept soundly until dawn. His tree house was tightly arranged, and there were no mosquitoes to disturb him. This sleep was particularly sweet. Unfortunately, after all, he was in a dangerous situation. Even in this state, Wang Sheng still maintained a sense of vigilance, and his rest was not thorough enough.

The sound of birdsong woke Wang Sheng. These birds were not demonic beasts, just ordinary birds. In the Thousand Absolutes Land, these ordinary animals were also everywhere, not all of them were powerful demonic beasts. In fact, it was a complete biosphere, with the bottom of the food chain and the top of the food chain.

Poking his head out of the tree house, Wang Sheng suddenly sensed danger. With a flip of his hand, a Glock 17 appeared in his hand, and the muzzle quickly pointed to the source of the danger.

At this time, Wang Sheng realized that under the big tree where his tree house was located, a giant wolf was crouching at some point, staring fiercely at Wang Sheng who had just poked his head out.

The giant wolf was brownish-black, very similar to the color of the ground. Its body was three meters long, and its head alone was bigger than Wang Sheng's torso. When its bloody mouth opened, it could definitely swallow two of Wang Sheng's heads.

Wang Sheng had not been in this world for a long time, so he could not call out the official name of this giant wolf, nor did he know the giant wolf's grade and realm, but being able to survive in the Thousand Absolutes Land until now was definitely not an ordinary demonic beast. Deep into the Thousand Absolutes Land, this wolf was at least at the fifth level of cultivation strength.

Wang Sheng had no idea when this giant wolf came. He slept too soundly at night and did not notice it at all. The combat awareness little man was obviously pondering the Arrogant Heaven Art and did not do his job well, allowing this giant wolf to reach the tree.

Fortunately, Wang Sheng chose a tree that was hard and thick enough, and the tree house was high enough. Even if the giant wolf tried its best, it could not jump up. Otherwise, Wang Sheng would have become the giant wolf's food in the middle of the night.

Thinking of this, Wang Sheng broke out in a cold sweat. Without the threat of the pursuers behind him, he was so careless. It was really shouldn't be!
