“Uncle John, look, isn’t that a Magical Beast?”

“Shh… Lower your voice.”

On the seventh day after they lost their way in the Deep Forest, the two of them were covered in dirt, just like beggars. They had enough food but did not have enough drinking water, so they could only collect rainwater. Fortunately, there was no industrial pollution in the foreign world. Although the rainwater was not as tasty as the river water from the fluorescent river, it was not poisonous either. At the very least, it could quench their thirst.

For seven days, the sky remained gloomy, and it would rain from time to time. This prevented the adventurers from finding the right direction to escape the deep forest.

Parr recalled the well-known ways to distinguish directions in his previous life, such as through the growth rings of trees and leaves. However, it was useless. Who knew what the environment of the foreign world was like? The trees here had growth rings, but they provided no clues whatsoever. The leaves were the same. No matter which direction the leaves were in, the density was about the same. It was impossible to see anything.

There was no other way. He could only try his best. John fiddled with the compass for a long time and finally fixed it.

John himself was unsure if the compass was pointing to true north, but at least the needle inside was pointing in one direction only. This way, they could at least walk in a straight line and not be afraid of going in circles until the end of time.

On the seventh day, both of them finally had hopes of walking out from the deep forest because the surrounding trees began to thin out. At this moment, Parr saw a dazzling fiery red figure from the corner of his eye, and he could not help but turn his head to look. He saw a big-headed tiger with fiery red fur and black patterns lying in the grass not far away.

The tiger was chewing on the corpse of an unknown animal. It enjoyed the food, and its tail, burning with flames, was wagging. This proved that it was in an excellent mood.

“Uncle John, look, is that a Magical Beast?”

Parr tugged at John’s clothes and saw John turn his head to make a gesture to silence him.

“Shh… be quiet.”

Then, John moved Parr away from the big-headed tiger to the side. He continued to stare at it while dragging Parr out of the area.

Phew…

John only breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of the area. When faced with Parr’s questioning gaze of “Are you unable to kill that tiger?” John slapped Parr’s head and rubbed his hair, which was already messy and oily.

“Little boy, I can indeed kill it, but there’s no need to. I can feel that our strength is similar. Thus each of us will definitely suffer losses in battle. Right now, we are still in the dangerous area of the deep forest, and it’s very easy for other Magical Beasts to pick us up. If that happens, both you and I will die. 

“Therefore, we should not fight with Magical Beasts in the wild without full confidence. The Magical Beasts also know this, which is why that tiger did not chase after us earlier.”

“I see! I understand!”

John’s explanation had convinced Parr. It truly made sense. Everyone had their own destiny when they stepped into the wild. If they foolishly rushed forward when they saw a Magical Beast due to being blinded by the benefits of killing it, they would die miserably. Unless, of course, they possessed overwhelming strength. 

Parr and John’s strength could not be classified as overwhelming yet. Therefore, they could only let go of the benefits that did not belong to them and continue their journey.

The two of them set off on their journey again. According to the compass directions, they walked straight into the deep forest. If they looked down from a high altitude, they would draw out their movements. Three days before they lost their way, the two walked in an arc and entered the deep forest in the southeast direction of Viscount Bluestone’s territory. 

In the next few days, the two of them would arrive at the southwest part of Bluestone City. Not far ahead was the main road leading to the outside world.



Roar!

“Wind Wolf Basic Sword Drawing Skill! Upper slash!”

On their way, another wild beast that was extremely confident in itself launched an attack. Its target was still Parr. Parr did not even glance at it. He turned his body slightly and pulled out his black sword.

Whoosh!

The wild beast split into two. Parr and John did not stop. They did not even glance at the dead wild beast as they continued on their journey. This wild beast became the last one to attack Parr during this journey.

In the evening, the two of them lost for a long time finally set foot on the road to Viscount Bluestone’s territory.

“Ah… This is great! We’re finally out!”

The two of them raised their heads and roared, venting the emotions in their hearts.

Phew.

After venting, John observed the situation on the road. Then, he took out his map and looked at it. He confirmed that this was the main road leading to the west part of Bluestone City. It was also the most spacious road in Viscount Bluestone’s territory. As long as he confirmed the direction, finding Bluestone City was only a matter of using his brain.

How should he confirm the direction?

John squatted down and carefully observed the ground. Then, he stood up and patted the dust on his hands. He finally turned around and walked in the direction of Bluestone City.

Parr hurriedly followed him. He ran to John’s side and tilted his head:

“Uncle John, how do you know the right direction? Are you sure we won’t go wrong again and end up in the wrong place?”

“This time, I’m definitely right!”

John confidently threw away the unreliable compass. Under Parr’s repeated questioning, he explained the reason.

“Boy, Bluestone City is rich in lapis lazuli, which is an extremely high-quality building stone. It’s mainly sold to the noble territories in the west. That’s why there’s such a wide road on the southwest side of Bluestone City. Merchants who trade lapis lazuli are always on this road. Look at our feet. Those deep ruts were left by vehicles transporting lapis lazuli to the outside world. There are some shallow ruts among them, which were left by the merchants when they came back.”

John stopped talking and took a deep breath. Then, he squatted down again and pointed at a few ruts:

“Little boy, look here. These shallow ruts are still brand new. It proves that a caravan passed by not long ago. Then, look at the fresh furry cow footprints and the direction of the horse hooves around the ruts. With this deduction, won’t we know which side Bluestone City is on?”

“Amazing!”

Parr understood John’s reasoning after thinking for a moment. He couldn’t help but praise him. At this time, John truly displayed the qualities of a seasoned adventurer.

But then, another question appeared in Parr’s mind.

“Uncle John, what if we followed a wrong caravan?”

“What else can we do?”

John got up and continued his journey. When he heard Parr’s question, he shrugged and said helplessly,

“We can only consider ourselves unlucky if that happened!”

Because they had found the right direction, the two of them decided to travel through the night and only rest after arriving at Bluestone City. Parr, who had the Get Up On Time talent, had no objections. In any case, he would only be sleepy for a while. At dawn, he would be whole again!

However, it was a little boring to travel on the road. The surrounding wild beasts knew that this was the territory of humans, so they all hid far away. Parr could only silently follow behind John, who was leading the way with a torch in his hand. He looked at his data panel and fell into deep thought.

Stamina: 23/100

Brilliant Light LVL 1

Life Energy Points: 227

Spiritual Energy Points: 110

Because of the rain, there weren’t many wild beasts who attacked when they were lost. However, they still provided Parr with 59 Life Energy Points and 3 Spiritual Energy Points. In addition to the 21 Life Energy Points he obtained from killing rabbits, Parr had obtained a total of 80 Life Energy Points and 30 Spiritual Energy Points in the past few days.

At this moment, Parr’s Life Energy Points were enough for him to level up Wake Up On Time.

“It’s time to level up. I still have to kill cultists in Bluestone City!” Parr proceeded to level up Get Up On Time.

“Beep. Would you like to consume 100 Life Energy Points and 100 Spiritual Energy Points to level up Get Up On Time to LVL 3?”

“Yes!”

“Beep. 100 Life Energy Points and 100 Spiritual Energy Points have been consumed. Level up completed.”

“Get Up On Time LVL 3 (Get Up On Time during dawn. Stamina, Spirit Points, and HP will be restored to full!)

“As expected.”

After seeing the expected result, Parr was so happy. With this talent, as long as he did not die within one day, he would revive with full health the next day. He could be unkillable!

“I wonder what effect this talent will have if I continue to level up further?”

Parr continued to stare at the talent that had dimmed.

“Beep. Leveling up Wake Up On Time to Talent to LVL 4 requires 1,000 Life Energy Points and 1,000 Spiritual Energy Points.”

‘As expected, the cost for leveling up has increased tenfold!’

Parr howled in his heart, temporarily dispelling the thoughts of leveling up the talent further. He turned his gaze to the other data columns that could be leveled up. Finally, after some thought, he decided to level up the Wind Wolf Basic Breathing Technique.

‘I still have 127 Life Energy Points left. Even if I subtract 50 points, I still have enough to level up once. Right now, the best way to maximize my benefits is to level up the Wind Wolf Basic Breathing Technique to the maximum and obtain a new special effect.’

After confirming his thoughts, Parr immediately took action. He stared at the Wind Wolf Basic Breathing Technique in his skill panel, and the notification for leveling up appeared.

“Beep. Do you wish to consume 50 Life Energy Points to level up Wind Wolf Basic Breathing Technique to MAX LVL?”

“Yes!”

“Beep. 50 Life Energy Points have been consumed. Level up completed.”

Wind Wolf Basic Breathing Technique MAX LVL (the most basic breathing technique in the Wind Wolf Kingdom. You can recover your Stamina by consuming your Spiritual Energy Points. The ratio is 1:10. MAX LVL special effect: Breathing in Battle! 

‘The recovery ratio has been doubled. In addition, I can use breathing techniques in battle. As long as I have enough Spiritual Energy Points, I won’t be exhausted, is that right?’

Wind Wolf Basic Breathing Technique’s maximum level significantly increased Parr’s weak power. Although his current strength had not changed much, he was definitely the best among his peers in other aspects.

“Wait!”

Just as Parr was immersed in the joy of leveling up his talents and skills, John suddenly stopped. Parr’s reaction speed had significantly increased. He did not bump into John unexpectedly. He closed the data panel and looked at John in confusion.

“Uncle John, what’s wrong?”

John didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he put out the torch, rubbed his chin, narrowed his eyes, and looked into the distance, deep in thought.

After the torch was put out, Parr found something unusual in the distance. The fire was so bright that it was very eye-catching.

“What’s going on there?”
