Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 724: Food and Drink
Chen Chuan took a look and found that the hot object was actually the civet cat stone tablet that had not been used for a long time.

He used this thing as a killing move in the past, but now as his strength has improved, he only uses it as a decoration at most.

After all, even if he faces multiple opponents now, he doesn't need other means to share the pressure, he can handle it by himself.

However, he has indeed neglected the food that the raccoon cat needs recently. According to the previous agreement, if he does not provide food, the raccoon cat will retaliate against its owner.

But the problem depends on what kind of master he is. With the power he possesses now, the raccoon cat doesn't even dare to say anything to him, not even a sound.

At this moment, he took out the stone tablet, and a thought came from it, as if it was very interested in the relics he had just obtained, and had an extreme desire.

He was slightly surprised. Although low-level relics had certain value, one usually needed to find out the correct way to use them before knowing their usefulness.

Yang Yuncheng had been looking for it for twenty-five years but couldn't find it. He didn't think he could find it all at once, so he didn't open it after getting it just now, intending to deal with it later when he had time.

However, he also noticed that when he came in just now, the raccoon cat ghost did not react at all, and this situation only occurred after he cut open the crack.

Is it because the appearance of the crack caused some changes in the relic?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take out the lost object. After looking at it, he peeled off the thick cloth wrapped on it layer by layer. In the end, he found that it was an oval-shaped object with broken and jagged edges. It looked like a piece of eggshell, but the shell wall was slightly thicker.

The appearance is very inconspicuous. If it is not explained in advance, just looking at it like this, you might think it is a petrified eggshell.

But at this moment, as he took this thing, under the illumination of the crack light, wisps of faint green smoke actually emerged, accompanied by a fragrance. After he smelled it, he actually felt a little full.

It was not a false feeling of fullness, but it was as if he had really eaten a lot of nutritional paste and nutritious food. And not only the body, as he smelled it for a while, even the consumed spirit seemed to be slightly replenished.

His heart was slightly moved. Could this thing be used to supplement the deficiencies in the body?

Will that cause any harm?
He looked at the second me, and couldn't see anything unusual on it, because after the rift opened, there would be an invasion itself, and the signs of virtuality on the second me were basically the same as when the rift opened, with almost no difference visible, which means that even if there was an impact, it would be minimal.

At this time, the raccoon stone tablet in his pocket was getting hotter and hotter, and was vibrating slightly inside, as if the raccoon ghost story was jumping around inside, very anxiously, and from time to time it conveyed a sense of grievance to him.

He thought for a moment and relaxed his control over the civet cat. The next moment, he heard a cry from the stone tablet, and immediately a faint shadow of a miniature civet cat jumped out of the stone tablet, then rushed to the light smoke coming out of the remains in his hand, and bit them back and forth there. He could also hear the frictional sound of the civet cat biting the remains quickly.

But it is impossible for the raccoon cat ghost story to damage this shell-like object. After all, it is a relic. Even if it may be only the lowest fifth level, it is not comparable to a simple ghost story.

Although a lot of the smoke was torn apart by the civet cat, it continued to emerge unwaveringly under the light of the cracks. During this process, the civet cat's shadow seemed to become a little more solid. One could see a miniature civet cat with a big head and a small body lying on the eggshell, grinning and looking very ferocious. It would roar to the outside after taking a bite.

However, when Chen Chuan's gaze fell down, he immediately lay there again, curled up into a ball, taking small bites, looking very honest.

After a while, the civet cat seemed to be full and could not eat any more, so it reluctantly returned to the ship.

Chen Chuan took a look and could clearly feel that after this period of fullness, the civet cat was a little different from before.

The most intuitive thing is that he was the first one to have people chisel it. Although the workmanship was good, it was just stone after all, so it was inevitably a bit rough in many places. But looking at it now, it has become more refined, and it no longer feels rough and cold in the hand, but has a warm and smooth jade-like feeling.

And he also found that the coat he was wearing and the things he carried seemed to have become newer. Of course, these changes were very subtle, and if one did not have spiritual power like him, they would be almost imperceptible. Moreover, such changes were also dispensable and almost useless.

But this indirectly proves that this relic has certain functions.

He then opened his hands and moved the shell-like object a little further away from the crack. Sure enough, as the distance moved away, the light smoke coming out of it became a little thinner.

If this is the case, then this thing may only show these effects when it is close to the opposite world. It is no wonder that Yang Yuncheng has kept it with him for more than 20 years without being able to figure out anything.

Even if they knew, most people would not have the conditions to use it. Perhaps only the governments and companies that control the World Ring can realize its value.

He thought for a moment, called out, and with a sound of flapping wings, Chao Ming fell from above. He passed the shell over and let Chao Ming try the light smoke on it. After the latter smelled it, he became very energetic and his eyes became very bright. He chirped at him, and he nodded. It was undoubtedly useful to Chao Ming.

And with this thing to make up for the loss of spirit and body, you don't have to worry about exhaustion when practicing.

After all, there was an invasion from the opposite side, so he asked Chao Ming to go back upstairs, and he himself took the time to practice.

Not long after, he heard the sound of rain outside. Fortunately, the terrain he chose was higher, right on the slope, and he knew it would rain, so he covered the outside of the tent with a layer of water-conducting cloth in advance, and the inside was almost closed, so the rain could not flow in.

Starting from the afternoon, the rain fell in waves, on and off. It stopped at night, but those strange rustling noises appeared again. However, they did not last long and soon disappeared, as if they were retreated by the strange objects that emerged from the cracks.

Chen Chuan sat in front of the rift, practicing spiritual secrets. Whenever something tried to penetrate, he would chop it off with the Snow King's Sword. Last time, he didn't know the situation, the underground space was relatively narrow, and the Snow King's Sword couldn't be swung very far. This time, he intentionally expanded the scope a bit, and it was much smoother when swung.

The night passed.

He heard some noise coming from outside, so he swung his knife and instantly wiped out the crack in front of him. Then he put the knife into the scabbard with a clang and stood up from where he was.

The light that was originally overflowing in his eyes slowly faded away. It seemed that he was more fully prepared and gained more this time than last time.

He glanced at the relic in his hand, thinking that it might have played a certain role here.

Not to mention anything else, after several confrontations with the opposing objects this time, the Xuejun Sword would always be consumed to a certain extent. If it were normal, the alienated tissue inside would definitely feel tired and need to continue to recuperate during the day. But with this thing next to it, the recovery becomes faster, and the efficiency of practice is obviously improved.

He thought about it, wrapped the thing up again, tied it to his body with a rope, put it in his pocket, and then walked out of the tent holding the Xuejun Knife.

As soon as he came out, he smelled a smell of medicine. A lot of medicine powder was sprinkled in the camp. The smell mixed with the smell of dissolved insect corpses was very pungent. After Chao Ming followed him out, he couldn't help but sneeze.

At this time, he heard a crackling sound. He turned around and saw a human-shaped clay relief near the campfire. At this time, tiny cracks appeared on it. Then the natives sat up one by one from inside, and then with the help of their companions, they swept off the mud on their bodies. It turned out that they had slept inside before.

Yang Yuncheng came over at this time, looked in the direction he was looking, and said, "If we don't have a tent, this is how we can avoid infection at night. It's also very practical in the wild. We can dig a hole and lie down anytime and anywhere."

Chen Chuan asked: "Does this require anything special?"

Yang Yuncheng said: "It requires the soil that is produced here, and combined with some special drinks and medicines. If Director Chen is interested, I can give you the formula. However, this method can only be used in this area. If you go to a farther place, it is hard to say."

He gestured forward and said, "So they are unwilling to migrate to other places easily. They have lived here for a long time and have become familiar with and adapted to everything here. If they were to go outside, they might still be able to survive, but many people would surely die."

Chen Chuan nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "As far as I know, some people in the old imperial family rely on believing in a certain existence to travel through the fusion land at night, and it seems that this method was learned from the natives?"

Yang Yuncheng said: "There is such a method, but to believe in a certain existence, one needs to offer a large number of sacrifices. The population of the gathering places around us can neither provide so many tributes nor consume so many people, so we use this method. Fortunately, we have survived this way for so many years."

Then he added in a low voice: "But recently, after the people from the corporate consortium came, everything changed almost overnight."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Senior Yang, I'll have to trouble you to lead the way later."

Yang Yuncheng responded solemnly: "I'll go back and pack up, Manager Chen, we'll set off in half an hour."
