Chapter 3 Triggering a Milestone Again

Lu Yuan no longer paid attention to the "Eye of the Pioneer" and comforted himself in his heart.

There are at least 17 human cities existing in Pangu Continent, and Yunhai City, where he settled, is also here.

As long as he tries his best to find these cities, he will be able to see his compatriots and his parents.

Yes, he was not without hope! Although this hope seemed a little slim, it was still hope! Lu Yuan regained a little confidence and began to think about the next question: "What should I do now?"

"Fire, finding food, shelter..."

Lu Yuan tried hard to squeeze out the knowledge in his mind.

It’s a pity that Bear Grylls has retired from the underworld for many years.

De Ye also retired from the world and no longer cared about worldly affairs.

Without these two talented actors, he hasn’t watched wilderness survival shows for many years…

What's more, he had just encountered a giant python, which was not something he could defeat at all.

You have to avoid a lot of dangers to survive the first night.

Lu Yuan picked up some dry branches and pulled out some edible wild vegetables.

“From being hungry to gathering wild vegetables, this is the first step towards a civilized world.”

"Congratulations on reaching a super milestone, picking wild vegetables... Reward: becoming a Golden Immortal!"

Well, God’s reminder did not come true, and the above was purely his own fantasy.

Because he was still very nervous. Just think about it, the whole earth is away from him, and he is alone facing the vague and unknown world. There are so many flying insects in the grass, all kinds of mosquitoes and locusts flying around, and a large number of insects of different colors hanging on the leaves. The larger insects are as thick as fingers.

There are tens of thousands of smaller insects.

[Edible bugs, high in protein, but with the risk of salmonella infection, they taste like chicken when roasted.]

[Poisonous centipede, with 90 long legs. A bite won't kill you, but it will cause a bowl-sized swelling.]

“There are so many legs…”

Looking at the centipede, Lu Yuan felt his spirit value plummeting. He could only mutter to himself, wrapping his body tightly with clothes, and walking towards the drier pile of stones.

suddenly!

Out of the corner of Lu Yuan's eye, he noticed a ray of light coming from afar.

"What?"

He held his breath, took his snake-scale axe, and carefully explored about fifty meters.

On top of a pile of rocks, a rotten-looking... van was found?

The tires on the car chassis have disappeared.

Its surface was covered with vines, and the body of the car seemed to have been hit by some force and was twisted.

Only the two big headlights were intact, and the bright light just now was the product of the headlights reflecting the sun.

"Why is there a car?!"

[It seems to be the remains of a certain civilization in the Eighth Epoch. Your civilization has developed, but you have encountered the remains of civilization so quickly!] His right eyeball was quite hot.

Lu Yuan said "Oh" to himself, "My civilization only has one person, so it's not that advanced."

He cut aside a few vines and peered into the car, only to find a broken skeleton inside, its empty eye sockets facing him.

Maybe it was because too much time had passed and almost all the flesh and blood had been broken down by bacteria. There wasn't much of a peculiar smell, only some bugs crawling around in the car.

It was Lu Yuan's first time to come into contact with a dead person, so he couldn't help but feel hesitant.

And the remains are genuine aliens, with a slightly protruding chin, a bit like a dog's mouth, and a short and fat body, probably only about 1.4 meters tall? In any case, it is definitely not human, but it is a civilization with technology.

“It’s a huge step for mankind.”

He felt frightened and subconsciously wanted to stay away from the skeleton.

But his remaining sanity told him that aliens and such didn't matter at all, he just needed this broken car.

Not far away is the quiet primeval forest, where even more terrifying monsters may live.

There were pythons lurking by the river, which could eat him in one bite; the bushes were not safe either, as there were too many insects, and if he was not bitten to death, he would be poisoned to death.

So he needed this car to get through the first night.

As long as he sets up a little layer of defense, he can wake up from his dream in time and activate the alien space to protect himself.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and cleaned the skeleton remains out of the car.

He found a small sunken pit, covered it hastily with stones, and worshiped a few times: "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, I am your corpse collector, you cannot hate me."

Lu Yuan is actually an atheist, but what happened today...

How should I put it? It somewhat shook his three views.

If God was willing to send him home, he would immediately, instantly, and without hesitation become God's believer, and would even be willing to lick God's thigh with his tongue and break it!

But if God ignores him, then he can only be embarrassed——

"God, don't make me beg you!"

The next moment, a cold reminder echoed in my ears.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

[Your 18th branch of human civilization has discovered the remains of civilization from the 8th Epoch.]

[Congratulations on achieving the only milestone, the first explorer of the Ninth Era. ]

[Unlock condition: Be the first to discover the remains of civilization. ]

[The ruins are the dreams that once sang the praises of a prosperous life, and are the last mark left by civilization in the long river of history. Today, it is up to you to take the first step in exploring the ruins. The future of the Ninth Era may be right under your feet.]

[Your civilization receives a milestone reward: Explorer's Eye, which allows you to see the remains of civilization and possible treasures (received by one random person).]

[Your civilization receives a unique milestone points reward: 5,000 points. (This feature has not yet been enabled)]

Lu Yuan was stunned.

God has a dark sense of humor.

A beam of white light came from nowhere and accurately hit Lu Yuan's left eye. Unimaginable heat poured into his soul, bringing with it a huge amount of information.

Because he had suffered too much torture today, he was too lazy to struggle and simply passed out.

When Lu Yuan woke up from his coma, the sun had set and it was already evening.

A few mosquito-like insects were lying on his hands, enjoying the delicious buffet.

He drove away the bugs, feeling both happy and annoyed: "The only milestone now is indeed easy to trigger."

"But it will make people unconscious, which is too troublesome."

"Luckily I was sitting in the car, otherwise I would have been picked up by some wild animal..."

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. A normal civilization would send a pioneering team to Pangu Continent to explore for information. Even if someone is unconscious, there will be a team to take care of them.

Unlike him, there is only one person...

Now both of his eyes have turned into titanium dog eyes.

Lu Yuan used the "Explorer's Eye" he had just obtained.

Suddenly, a colorful halo appeared in the field of vision.

The "Explorer's Eye" has a certain perspective, and each kind of light represents different attributes.

Red represents risk.

Green represents the remains of civilization.

And gold represents treasure!

The consumption of mental energy by the "Explorer's Eye" is much higher than that of the "Pioneer's Eye". Lu Yuan, who was already in a not very good condition, soon saw stars and felt dizzy.

What shocked him was that the entire ground was glowing with a green halo!

This means... at least one city-level civilization relic is buried in the soil.
