Chapter 17：Since When Did The Sun Rise From The South (2/2)

It was no surprise that it could not be used anymore since the buttons could no longer be pressed, and the screen was completely cracked. After the end of time halt, Wei Huo could just buy himself another one provided that civilization and the economy had recovered sufficiently. Wei Huo was only worried if he could still get himself integrated into society by then.

There were days in a month where he did not feel like training his Qi and spent time thinking about life instead. Wei Huo spent more time doing that this month. Thankfully, Giant Panda and Fatty Tiger had recovered their ability to move after three days. They could go out and hunt on their own now.

They did not express gratitude towards Wei Huo. Most importantly, they did not speak Human Language, and hence they did not know how to express gratitude as humans do. After eating and drinking, their priorities were to play and roll around in the snow. Whenever Wei Huo appeared in front of them, they would approach Wei Huo affectionately and either lick his palms gently, rub their bodies against his trousers, or happily run around Wei Huo.

They did not smile because they did not know how to show their teeth to Wei Huo. Their way of showing gratitude to him was by lowering their heads in front of him and waiting to be petted.

Truth be told, Wei Huo did not need them to thank him. As long as they stayed alive, it was good enough for him. They should live their lives to the fullest at the very least.

Wei Huo could see the lifespans of both of them through the Health Menu.

'Giant Panda. Age: 27 Years Old. Lifespan: 90 Years.'

'Fatty Tiger. Age: 37 Years Old. Lifespan: 60 Years.'

Based on their lifespans the panda was still considered young, but the tiger was already middle-aged. Nonetheless, both their lifespans were nowhere as long as Wei Huo's. They were going to die eventually!

Wei Huo sighed at that moment.

After the beasts recovered fully, Wei Huo chose to continue his journey. He took both of them toward the south. They were now more resistant to the cold after evolving once again and had thicker fur.

The last time both beasts collapsed, Wei Huo did think about using Doran's Shield's Health-Recovering Skill, but unfortunately, Doran's Shield could only recover one's health but had no effect on curing hypothermia. One would probably need slags to resist the extreme cold.

Wei Huo continued traveling south with the beasts for the next two years.

One year should have been sufficient initially, but because it was difficult to walk on the slippery snow-covered ground it took longer. No matter what difficulties they encountered, they overcame it. Two years later, Wei Huo arrived at the southernmost part of the Northern continent with his beasts, and they finally saw the ocean!

When Wei Huo and company arrived at the seashore, the first ray of morning light appeared on the horizon. Wei Huo felt something was amiss.

'Wait… did I not come from the north? How is it possible that the Sun is rising in the south? Since when did the Sun rise from the south?'

Wei Huo realized that he was wrong moments later. It was not the sun that had risen. It was a huge fireball in the air. The fireball flew up high before exploding in the sky into tiny flames that fell. Soon after that, the sky and ground turned dark again.

Wei Huo could not understand what was going on, but he had felt a horrifying aura coming from the southern seas. The aura was incredibly strong and terrifying that it sent chills down his back.

While Wei Huo was thinking about it, both beasts behind him were already lying on the ground and shivering. They instinctively felt fear towards the sea at first glance.

Wei Huo frowned and had a thought that since all animals on land exceeded their limitations by evolving into giants, what kind of evolved monsters could come out of the sea which was already filled with huge creatures in the first place?
