Chapter 36：It’s My Turn (1/2)

The panda's condition was getting worse. Its heart suddenly stopped on the third day. Wei Huo put it down immediately and defibrillated its heart following Lu Qiqi's advice. Thankfully, Wei Huo's God of Thunder Skill was at level three, and he could control his powers better now. The panda was eventually resuscitated.

After its resuscitation, the panda became better probably because of the Perfect Heart Reliever pill. The panda could now walk a few steps and reluctantly ate a little.

Wei Huo let out a sigh of relief. However, the panda's condition became worse the next day. It collapsed again the next morning, and its Health Menu was updated to 'Dying'. The panda's activity before this was probably a terminal lucidity.

Lu Qiqi was silent for a while before saying to Wei Huo, ”It might not survive.”

Wei Huo lifted the panda and said, ”Let's get on with it, don't give up!”

Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi continued traveling. They finally walked out of the desert three days later.

The panda was trying its best to stay alive, but it was in agonizing pains. Wei Huo nearly tried to end the panda's life on its behalf, but who was he to do so?

Wei Huo felt the pain of having a long life for the first time. The people and things he was getting used to being with would eventually leave him one day, and the best option was to not get familiar with anyone or anything. As long as he remained alone, he would not have to bear such pains.

Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi continued traveling south.

The tall and huge mountain in the south was a skyscraping one. Wei Huo decided to name it the 'Aerial Peak'. The mountain was formed by movements of tectonic plates; the Central continent was formed by integration between pieces of land from all directions.

The Aerial Peak was the most obvious peak on the Central continent. That was why Wei Huo continued traveling toward its direction.

However, the mountain was too far from where they were. The saying 'Easier Said Than Done' was applicable to Wei Huo's situation at the moment.

Nonetheless, they made it through the desert and found a creek amidst the prairie they were on which was inhabited by many animals. It was a good sign as they no longer needed to worry about food and water.

However, the panda stopped breathing the next morning.

It laid next to the creek silently, and its chest was no longer moving. Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi did not need to feel its pulse as they could see everything from its Health Menu.

'Species: Panda.'

'Sex: Male.'

'Status: Dead.'

This was the one enemy no living creature in nature could defeat... Death!

Wei Huo thought that the panda could live till the end of its lifespan, but a deadly disease got in its way. Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi had their hands tied as it was all up to the panda itself. If it could not make it through, no one could help it.

Wei Huo clenched his fists. The lifespan of all living creatures in nature was limited, including himself. He too would eventually die one day, but he did not wish to die just like that.

”Let's go!”

Wei Huo shook his head and continued his journey with Lu Qiqi. The tiger was dead. The panda was dead. Who would be next? Would it be Lu Qiqi or himself?
