Chapter 35： Heart Attack (2/2)

The panda was panting more severely. It closed its eyes, clenched its fists, and it seemed like it was in excruciating pains.

Lu Qiqi had been taking care of it. She put her hand on the panda's body where its heart was and felt that the panda's heartbeat was weak. It would be unsurprising if its heart stopped beating at that moment.

Wei Huo had no other choice. He could only wait it out.

The panda was going to be the next one to pass away after Fatty Tiger. It was already pretty old. Even if it made it through this time, it would not be alive for long. That was the most helpless thing about life. No living creature could defeat the inevitability of death.

Humans could increase their lifespan through Qi Cultivation, but what about animals? Animals had no way of picking up the skills unless they managed to learn about the caves or open the caves by chance. They would then need to learn the Human Language. Otherwise, there was no other way.

Wei Huo sat next to the panda and ran his fingers through its fur. It was really getting old. Its fur had become dull, and its gaze was no longer as sharp. It seemed dispirited at that moment.

It continued panting and tolerating the pains in its heart. It kept crying, but its voice was getting softer.

The panda might not be able to make it!

Lu Qiqi ran her fingers through the panda's fur as well. She had changed greatly over the past ten years. Although she still had a few features akin to artificial beings, she was becoming more and more human.

Wei Huo checked his provisions. They did not have much left and needed to hunt. However, their surroundings were deserted. There were barely any beasts within sight, making hunting nearly impossible. Wei Huo's Qi Cultivation was now level seven. His need for food had decreased to a bare minimum, but Lu Qiqi and the panda still needed food.

Wei Huo had Lu Qiqi stay back to take care of the panda as he went out to hunt alone. No matter what happened, life had to go on.

There were barely any beasts in the area because it was a desert. The heat was intolerable in the day and the cold was unbearable at night. Water was scarce at the moment, let alone food.

They had to travel in this direction because there was a tall, skyscraping mountain in the south.

The Central continent was formed by countless pieces of land. Just like the Himalayas, huge mountains would be formed at the points where tectonic plates integrated with each other. They would then only grow higher over time.

That was how the huge mountain on the Central continent was formed. Countless pieces of land integrated with each other forming that huge mountain in the middle of it all. It touched the clouds and was visible from a fair distance away. However, being able to see it did not mean that they were near. After ten years of traveling, they had yet to arrive at that mountain's foot.

Wei Huo did not manage to get anything from today's hunting. He rushed back before the sky turned dark, and found Lu Qiqi still taking care of the panda. The panda was still panting as well.

Wei Huo let out a sigh of relief and said to Lu Qiqi, ”I'm sorry, there aren't many beasts around here, we might have spent too much time here.”

Lu Qiqi looked at the panda and asked sadly, ”Are we abandoning it?”

Wei Huo scrunched his brows. ”I'll carry it. We need to go. We need to get out of this desert!”

The panda had been in bad shape for days, but Wei Huo was not going to abandon it. If he did, it would die sooner than expected.

Wei Huo carried the panda and said, ”We'll set out in the night!”

Although that was no good for the panda's situation, no one could survive without sufficient food. Moreover, living in the deserts was truly too harsh!
