Chapter 6: God Will Make No Mistakes
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The advantages of humans were an intelligent brain and the ability to pass down knowledge from one generation to the next. If any other animals possessed the same capabilities, mankind’s status on earth would have been in imminent danger.
That was Wei Huo’s concern at this point. He could only pray in his heart, hoping that the time halt could recover faster. Perhaps because of him, the monkeys would maintain an amicable relationship with humans. If time recovered, he wished for humans to avoid turning monkeys into their prey.
The last thing that Wei Huo wanted to see was humans killing monkeys out of spite causing other monkeys to go against mankind.
However, at this moment, he could not care much. His primary goal was to find the cave concealing a Qi Cultivator’s rare scrolls!
Be that as it may, Wei Huo had experienced and gained a lot throughout his trip.
He walked along the river bank as he needed to replenish himself from time to time. The temperature was also cooler near the river bank.
The weather started to get more and more severe. At its hottest, temperatures could elevate up to over 50°C whilst at its lowest, temperature could drop down to near -40°C degrees. Wei Huo was not located in the center of Z Country, by right such extreme temperatures should not have occurred.
As animal and plant mutations were accelerated, Wei Huo caught sight of various odd organisms throughout his journey.
One of the examples would be Kamikaze Goats who blow up when they are disgruntled. An organ containing a TNT-like substance developed in the body of these goats. They would self-explode and die together with their hunters when provoked or preyed on. Any careless moves could end up leading to a wildfire.
There were almost no natural predators for those creatures. They breed like rabbits causing them to be found almost everywhere.
However, Wei Huo wondered if these creatures would become extinct after time had recovered as humans might hunt them down to get ready-made explosives.
In addition to Kamikaze Goats, Wei Huo also encountered Zombie Deer. Zombie Deers were creepy creatures that would attack other animals out of discontentment. Regardless of brawny hunters or frail flora and fauna, they would pounce on anything they dislike. They would even sometimes ram their horns into willow trees for no reason.
Besides that, Wei Huo even encountered a weird dog that would make weird poses whenever it saw any organisms. They could walk upright like humans and use their front paws to catch their target before crazily… Alright, that animal should have mutated before time was halted.
Besides those odd creatures, the number of existing yet endangered species had also increased vastly. For example, carnivorous animals like bears, wolves, and tigers, as well as rare species of birds, spiders, and all sorts of plants.
Bit by bit, the highway was covered in vegetation. Occasionally, Wei Huo would see a few animals sauntering around the highway. He was invisible to many animals under the influence of ‘The Loner Abandoned by God’ title. Even if they noticed him, they would bypass him out of caution.
Thanks to that, Wei Huo did not encounter any dangers during his entire journey. He even got to catch a glimpse of those bizarre sceneries and scenarios.
Eight years passed, in fact, Wei Huo had no idea how long he had been walking. He took short rests along his journey and sojourned in random places. He crossed over mountains and rivers, not knowing how much he had walked.
In the eighth year of his trip, there was a beard and mustache covering Wei Huo’s face. He looked exactly like a caveman. As his clothes were ragged, he could only dress in self-made leather outfits from animal leather.
Eight years of traveling and consecutive hunting had also improved Wei Huo’s rank.
‘Rank, Only Slightly Normal.’
Wei Huo was speechless. “…”
‘What was going on with this Ranking System?’
Ever since the limiter was removed, Wei Huo was now capable of killing a bear with merely punches and kicks. He even outran a cheetah. His hunting skills had also advanced greatly. He had reached level one in his shooting skill, he was already quite skilled in the art of archery.
Although that was the case…
“Why do I have a feeling that this time halt will last till the day I die, maybe even until years after I die?”
Time was ticking away, 11 years had passed since the time halt. Wei Huo could no longer remember the passage of time clearly, but fortunately, the age and life span bar in his health menu kept reminding him. ‘You are running out of time.’
“It doesn’t matter how much time you have, everything depends on how you utilize your time.” Wei Huo suddenly blurted out a well-known saying which he could not recall its origins. However, a moment later, he debunked that saying. “But if you have unlimited time, you can use it however you want to!”
Once again, Wei Huo resumed ascending to the mountain summit. He was greeted by the scenery of a dramatic alpine. The landscape of the mountains was magnificent. Clusters of mountain peaks stood abreast with cliffs adjoined, it looked like a tremendous screen.
Wei Huo shut his eyes for a few seconds and opened them again, a view of boundless green landscape leaped into his eyes.
Wei Huo saw a towering ancient tree. He could not see how thick the tree trunk was as it was buried under the dense leaves and branches. However, it was obvious that the ancient tree was at least 30 stories tall.
Wei Huo decided to take a short rest and enjoy the nature and scenery around him. He suddenly heard a loud ‘whooshing’ sound coming from one direction!
It seemed like that sound was always present, but due to dense leaves and Wei Huo’s engrossment in finding directions, he failed to notice that sound.
Wei Huo made a U-turn and crawled towards the direction where the sound came from. The sounds of water rippling gradually became more distinct.
The weeds and shrubs were close-packed in the forest. He pushed aside those tree leaves and cleaved apart the shrubs. Finally, he arrived at a whole new world!
Far-off was a view of endless breathtaking mountains. Colors of red, yellow, and green with all sorts of scenery adorning the mountain, making it a spectacular panorama. Right on the mountain was a sheer cliff. The river water was flowing down from the cliff and the kinetic energy from the water collided with the bottom of the cliff causing an ear-splitting sound of water crashing. Waves of mist surged from the water collisions, forming a mystical vibe!
Right at this moment, a ray of light illuminated the dawn sky. The dazzling white light spilled across the forest, casting light over the leaves. Dewdrops were sparkling on the leaves! It was as if the whole forest had become alive!
The sun was rising!
Without a camera, he could only engrave this view in his mind. However, that memory would fade away alongside his death
He had to find the Qi Cultivator’s rare scrolls!
He continued his journey, and soon two years had passed. He stopped because he saw an unusual mountain.
The mountain was not covered in greens. The man-made pathway was not coated in vegetation because too many people were crowded all over the mountain. The time halt had halted all vegetation within five meters from the people. Otherwise, if these people would have been covered in plants and would not be able to move an inch after their time recovered.
How could it be possible for God to make mistakes?
Seeing so many people on this mountain, Wei Huo guessed that it was previously a tourist attraction. Many people would come here to travel, hike, and sightseeing during the holidays. The plants here were halted together with humans, so this mountain had not been returned to nature yet.
