"It's just some treasures that help the soul, nothing serious!" Jiang Yuan said with a faint smile.
"Not just some, the amount I need could be huge!"
Leng Yue gently shook her head, seemingly searching for some special feeling. After a while, she said uncertainly, "I think I've entered a recurring nightmare again!"
Jiang Yuan was startled. How could he not know what the nightmare Leng Yue was talking about was?
"Don't worry!" Jiang Yuan nodded solemnly and promised, "The Netherworld Soul Fruits from before were very beneficial for soul recovery, I'll try my best to find you more!"
It takes at least ten days for a seedling to grow into a big tree, but ten days is clearly not Jiang Yuan's ideal number.
"Strange, why are there monsters approaching us?" Ning Yanlan suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Nearby?" Jiang Yuan turned around to sense his surroundings.
Stone Breath can sense a radius of ten miles. Although it's not large, it's still within a five-mile radius centered on Ning Yanlan. But now, the monster has gotten so close that it hasn't been detected by anyone around. Clearly, the monster that came is no ordinary creature.
"backyard!"
Ning Yanlan pointed behind her. The house where they were temporarily staying was a villa with a private courtyard. The backyard was full of flowers and plants, and there was even a sizable bamboo grove.
"You stay here and protect her, I'll go check on her!"
Jiang Yuan put on the mask and walked towards the back door, stopping at the window.
"There really is a monster!" Jiang Yuan could clearly sense its presence from this distance.
"I'll see who this person is!"
Jiang Yuan gently pushed open the door, and the monster he sensed was in that golden-inlaid bamboo forest.
The moment Jiang Yuan pushed open the door, the monster in the bamboo forest seemed to be startled, and the bamboo forest returned to calm after two rustling sounds.
"This monster is truly peculiar!"
Jiang Yuan sighed, because just the moment he pushed open the door, he realized that he had lost his sense of the monster in the bamboo forest.
He was certain the monster in the bamboo forest hadn't left, but he had lost all sense of it.
"Since you're hiding like this, you must be afraid!" Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate and went out to look at the bamboo forest.
However, what he found was astonishing. There was indeed a creature in the bamboo forest, but it wasn't the monster he had imagined; it was a giant panda.
"Mmm!"
When Jiang Yuan made eye contact with the giant panda, the panda made a sound similar to that of a human infant. Jiang Yuan was also surprised because the giant panda in front of him looked very familiar.
Previously on Nan Gui Mountain, a giant panda threw bamboo shoots at him and Ning Yanlan, and the one in front of them seemed to be on the other side of Nan Gui Mountain.
"Wait, you're not a monster?" Jiang Yuan was taken aback when he realized that the giant panda in front of him had not been awakened.
Under the detection of the Sky Eye, the giant panda in front of us is a native creature of Earth, and it is one that has not yet been awakened.
"Hmm, hmm!" The giant panda seemed to understand Jiang Yuan's words, but upon seeing the masked man in front of it, it subconsciously wanted to get away. So it climbed higher and higher in the bamboo forest, and its weight pressing down on several bamboo stalks no thicker than its calves made it look like it was about to collapse.
"strangeness!"
Jiang Yuan walked towards the giant panda. If it were a panda with a spiritual awakening and the ability to hide, that would be understandable, but how could an ordinary giant panda have such special abilities?
"Could there be other reasons?"
Without much thought, Jiang Yuan activated the Heavenly Eye again before the giant panda could escape, and under its deep detection, no creature could hide.
“Earth’s native creature – Giant Panda, Body Tempering Realm – Fifth Rank, Spirit Awakening: 32/100”
Jiang Yuan gasped when he saw the detection results. This giant panda actually had a fifth-level physical body. What did it eat to grow up like that?
The key point is that it is still a creature that has not awakened its spirit. Generally, if such a creature wants to become stronger, it must become stronger according to the cultivation system on Earth, that is, ancient martial arts and Qi cultivation. And a panda with a fifth-order physical body is probably at the level of an ancient martial artist who has opened the second shackle.
"This adorable little guy is actually an ancient martial arts practitioner?" Jiang Yuan felt his brain was failing him. There were hardly any ancient martial arts practitioners among humans, but this giant panda had become one in just a few days after the cataclysm!
Kung Fu Panda?
"Mmm~ Mmm"
When the giant panda on top of the bamboo forest sensed that Jiang Yuan had no intention of attacking, it began to move towards the edge of the bamboo forest, trying to leave the table it had just chosen.
"They didn't recognize me!"
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and then took off his mask. The first meeting with the panda went fairly smoothly. Although he was thrown a bamboo shoot at him, he still liked the panda's憨厚 (simple and honest) nature.
When the mask was removed, Jiang Yuan revealed his true appearance, and the giant panda in the bamboo forest stopped in its tracks, seemingly trying to recall when it had met the 'two-legged beast' in front of it.
"Little guy, I wanted to give you a Holy Spirit Stone to help you awaken your spirit when we met last time, but you ran off too fast, and I couldn't give it to you!" Jiang Yuan said as he took out a bottle of Spirit Awakening Pills. He smiled gently and said, "Here, these pills can help with spirit awakening. Perhaps they can help you!"
It was obvious that this giant panda was not yet fully grown, so calling it a little guy was quite reasonable. As for the pills, Jiang Yuan was equally generous, tossing over a bottle of Qi-awakening pills.
Under deep detection, the panda's subsequent awakening status showed only 32%. Based on his previous super awakening, this progress would show a linear increase. It's not necessarily true that 100 Tier 1 Holy Spirit Stones are enough to fully awaken the panda. It can only be said that the further the awakening progress goes, the more difficult it becomes to advance.
The Qi-Enhancing Pill flew over, and the giant panda finally remembered where it had seen this two-legged creature before. As the pill flew over, it caught the bottle in its mouth, but hesitated before biting it open and eating the Qi-Enhancing Pill.
"Eat without worry!" Jiang Yuan said with a kind smile.
"Apostle, what monster has broken in?"
The backyard door was pushed open, and the voice was Ning Yanlan.
After Ning Yanlan finished speaking, she walked into the backyard. Upon seeing the flamboyant mask on Ning Yanlan's face, the giant panda in the bamboo forest seemed to be frightened and ran away from the top of the bamboo forest with the Qiling Pill in its mouth.
"That little guy is really alert!" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he watched the black and white figure disappear into the distance.
He originally intended to take it with him, but the giant panda clearly didn't trust other creatures. However, it was understandable, as the harmony of the past had ceased to exist since the cataclysm. Humans killed beasts, beasts killed humans, beasts killed beasts, and humans killed humans. Endless mutual slaughter was the main theme after the cataclysm.
"Was that the giant panda from before?" Ning Yanlan recognized the departing panda's silhouette.
"It should be!" Jiang Yuan nodded noncommittally.
"It seems this little guy isn't having an easy time either!" Ning Yanlan remarked with a sense of unease. As an ordinary wild beast walking among a group of monsters, it goes without saying how difficult it would be to survive.
Jiang Yuan smiled faintly, a hint of reminiscence in his voice, and said, "Putting everything else aside, this experience is quite similar to mine!"
"What's the use of experiencing it! You're not as cute as it!" Ning Yanlan watched the panda's back slowly disappear from sight.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"It seems we are destined to never meet these giant pandas!" Ning Yanlan sighed.
"Forget it, let's go back to camp first!"
