Chapter 5：Qi Cultivators (2/2)

”Qi System implemented.”

”New event added Caves. Rare scrolls left behind by ancient Qi Cultivators could be found hidden in selected caves.”

”Alterations made to the life span system. The player can now prolong their life through Qi Cultivation.”

Wei Huo was speechless. ”...”

It had been so long since Wei Huo was taciturn. Wei Huo honestly had no idea how long he had been stuck here in the service area. He sprouted a beard and had long and messy hair. He currently resembled a caveman as he was carrying his bow and arrow on his back. He was dressed in clothes made from the fur of unknown beasts while holding onto a bloodied lance. There were wounds from hunting small and medium-sized beasts on his torso.

The group of monkeys also gradually expanded with baby monkeys that were just born. Although there was a king amongst them, they respected Wei Huo a lot. If possible, Wei Huo had hoped to continue staying there.

However, he still had to leave.

He still did not know how long the time halt would last.

He wanted to survive.

”I'm leaving!” Wei Huo suddenly started talking to the group. He could not believe how hoarse his voice had become due to not speaking a word for the past three years.

The monkeys were sun-bathing when Wei Huo spoke up. They looked at Wei Huo startled and dumbfounded, not understanding a single word he said.

Wei Huo said again, ”I'm leaving now!”

Misinterpreting Wei Huo's action, a baby monkey approached him and handed him fruits as he thought Wei Huo was hungry since baby monkeys would always cry for food when they were hungry.

Wei Huo felt emotional. He really did not want to leave that place but was left with no other options. The fear of death compelled him to search for rare scrolls handed down by Qi cultivators. Without the archives, he would only live until 88 years old.

As the only person in the whole world who was abandoned by God, Wei Huo had to find ways in staying alive. He should start finding methods to increase his lifespan. Otherwise, he would not get the chance to see his parents, friends, and even a living person anymore.

The monkeys belonged in the group while Wei Huo belonged to human society. He had to stay alive until he could witness that day!

”I'm really leaving!” Wei Huo received the fruit, packed his equipment, placed his food inside his bag, secured his filled bottle, and walked out of the service area.

A few monkeys trailed behind him holding onto hunting equipment. However, Wei Hao chided them. ”Go back!”

The monkeys were at a complete loss. They could not understand what Wei Huo was saying. As Wei Huo kept yelling at them, they started to understand his message. Wei Huo was leaving, and he might not come back again.

Sadness was engraved on their faces. They were becoming more and more like humans.

Wei Huo's heart-wrenched when he saw that scene. He said to those monkeys as he retreated, ”I hope you will still remember me when time recovers. I also hoped you would help humans, and live in peace with them. Last but not least, I wish for all of you to stay safe.”

With that said, he turned around and left. He set foot on the expressway overgrown with wild grasses. That was the first time he regretted passing down so much knowledge to those monkeys.

The group watched as Wei Huo left. They had not understood what was going on. They even thought that Wei Huo was just heading out to fetch water. A baby monkey hopped onto a human's head whose time was halted. It ended up slipping and fell down to the ground.

The time halt did not affect humans in the service area. Not even a single dust left a trace on them.
