Traveling through ancient times to survive

Zhao Deyan took the newlyweds away, and the villagers went back to prepare for the banquet. Only Zhao Chengchuan and Zhao Qing stood there, watching the crowd leave.

After being together for such a long time, Zhao Chengchuan knew that his daughter was in a bad mood, so he waited until everyone left before asking her with concern.

"Qingya, what's wrong? What happened outside?"

Zhao Qing did not answer directly. He pointed at the leopard corpse on the ground and asked, "Dad, take a look at this leopard. Is there anything wrong with it?"

After hearing this, Zhao Chengchuan looked at the corpse on the ground carefully. He didn't pay attention to it before, but now he found something wrong. The size of the corpse in front of him was really incredible. When did a leopard grow so big?

"Hiss~" Zhao Chengchuan gasped, "Qingya, where did you kill the leopard? How come it has grown so big!"

"At the place where Liu Jun and his friends were staying temporarily, they said that this leopard had been staring at them for a few days, so I went to look for it. It was just an ordinary forest, nothing out of the ordinary." Zhao Qing answered with a frown, and then asked, "Dad, you have never seen a leopard of this size? What about the elders in the village? Don't they know either?"

Zhao Chengchuan muttered to himself: "This is impossible! How can a leopard grow so big!"

Zhao Qing was worried. It seemed that this was a normal ancient world before, but it was hard to say whether it was still normal now.

Zhao Qing said seriously, "Dad, don't tell the villagers about this. Just let the clan leader and the elders know about it, so as not to cause panic."

"Alas, when it rains it pours. The world is becoming more and more confusing. Qingya, the villagers in the valley are not your responsibility. You don't have to worry too much. We have lived enough for these years. If we can survive, we will survive. If we can't survive, it's no big deal. If things are hopeless, you will just run for your life alone!"

Zhao Chengchuan let out a long sigh. He knew that his daughter was very powerful. If he and others were not holding her back, no matter how strange the world became, it would be possible for her to survive.

Zhao Qing neither agreed nor refused: "Let's take it one step at a time. We'll talk about the future later. No matter how dangerous the world is, it's always a good idea to increase your strength. Dad, you also have to practice hard and don't be lazy."

Zhao Chengchuan couldn't save face and said stubbornly, "What do you mean by lazy? I was busy with village affairs and didn't have time to train."

Zhao Qing stared at Zhao Chengchuan without saying anything.

Zhao Chengchuan couldn't stand being stared at by Zhao Qing anymore, and felt more and more guilty: "Okay, okay, Dad will practice seriously in the future."

After carrying the leopard home, Zhao Qing suddenly remembered that his golden finger had changed some time ago, and now he looked to see if there were any new changes.

After clicking on the cheat code, the refresh button flashed wildly. As Zhao Qing's consciousness just extended over, a translucent prompt box jumped out impatiently.

[Discover Energy, do you want to recharge to unlock the official version of the mall in advance? 】

Zhao Qing's eyes narrowed. The new energy refers to this abnormally large black panther? And the current mall is just a trial version? Yes, how can it be called a dimensional mall with only eight kinds of goods?

Zhao Qing made a decisive choice. A small black hole appeared on the ground where the leopard was placed. It swallowed the body and disappeared in an instant. Everything was normal at the original place, except that the leopard body on the ground disappeared.

Zhao Qing looked at the mall panel in the void again. The flashing buttons returned to calm. The brightness of the buttons was much brighter than before. Zhao Qing poked the button tentatively, and a new prompt box appeared.

[Insufficient energy, please continue to work hard...]

After turning off the panel, Zhao Qing analyzed silently. It seemed that his previous guess was wrong. This so-called energy was definitely not the money he recharged.

Judging from the last time I saw the button light up slightly, the world has already changed dramatically, but humans have not felt it.

This kind of energy must exist in the air. My golden finger can slowly absorb it and upgrade it to the official version. It is also the reason for the leopard's abnormality. So there must be more than one leopard that has mutated in the world.

The world has undergone tremendous changes. The mutated creatures will surely become stronger and stronger. They will never be as easy to deal with as this leopard. My own martial arts skills can only be ranked at the top among humans. If I encounter stronger mutated animals, I will not be able to match them.

The uneasiness in her heart forced her to return to the panic-stricken state of her previous life. Zhao Qing felt anxious and thought, No, she couldn't relax and had to continue to strengthen her military force.

But it is too late to practice slowly on his own. There must be a way to become stronger in the official version of the mall. Zhao Qing decided to go out of the valley to hunt abnormal creatures starting tomorrow, so as to unlock the official version of the mall in advance.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qing went to knock on the door next door again, and Zhao Lan came over to open the door with a happy look on her face.

"Cousin, you're back! My meal is almost ready, come in and eat."

After they finished their meal, Zhao Lan was about to get up to clean up the dishes, but Zhao Qing raised his hand to stop her and said, "Don't worry, I'll clean up later. I have an important news to tell you first. You know I'm going out to pick up someone new."

Zhao Qing paused, and decided to reveal a little about the golden finger. In order to become stronger, she would definitely take out many things in the mall that were not available here and might not be available in modern times. She couldn't hide it.

"Did something unexpected happen?" Zhao Lan asked seriously.

Zhao Qing explained solemnly, "It can be said that this world has undergone terrible changes. This time I defeated a black panther that was much larger than normal. You know I also have a small space, and it has also changed after absorbing this panther. However, due to insufficient energy, I don't know what it will become."

Zhao Lan shouted excitedly: "Could it be that the spiritual energy is reviving?"

Zhao Qing: “???”

"Sister, don't you read novels? This is a very popular genre in the novel world. The so-called spiritual energy revival means that a new energy appears between heaven and earth, and the organisms will undergo tremendous changes when absorbing the energy. The worst change is the increase in size. Some organisms will even have superpowers. Superpowers are the ability to control the five elements of energy, such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. If you are even luckier, you will be able to stimulate extremely rare superpowers such as spirit, space, and time. Oh, by the way, there is another possibility, that is, you can directly cultivate immortality!"

Zhao Lan was beaming with joy. How cool it would be if she could unleash supernatural powers or become an immortal!

Zhao Qing seemed to be thinking: "So that's how it is. What you said is not impossible, but it seems that no one in our valley can feel the change in the air. Either all humans have been kicked out of the ranks of evolution, or it is extremely difficult to activate superpowers, maybe only one in ten thousand can do it, so no one can feel it."

Zhao Lan’s smile froze. Yes, she didn’t feel anything. But couldn’t the boss feel it either?

Zhao Qing advised earnestly: "These two possibilities point to the same direction. From now on, humans will no longer be the masters of this world. Although I don't know if practicing martial arts can help you escape from the hands of mutated animals, you will definitely die if you don't practice martial arts. So you must not slack off in your martial arts training in the future, and you must be extra careful when you leave the valley."

Zhao Lan nodded seriously: "I understand, cousin."
