Chapter 89

(PS: Thanks to the Alliance Leader Chaoyan Huaixi for the reward. There will be an extra update tomorrow to thank Chaoyan Huaixi for rewarding two Alliance Leader titles in a row.)

Wu Wu Pifu spent another ten days in Gaia, diligently practicing national martial arts and the Human Immortal Martial Dao, while still eating and drinking heartily every day.

Especially after he entered the deep mountains and old forests in the north, although he did not find any living people, there were truly many mountain goods. Not to mention various mushrooms and game, there were many wild ginseng and medicinal herbs over a hundred years old.

The Jin people's looting and retreat were very hurried, and those ruins were full of these mountain goods. Wu Wu Pifu managed to scavenge some good things from them.

Because besides the principle of rooting out evil, cleaning up the battlefield by digging three feet deep was also one of his principles.

Now, Gaia was already piled with many good things.

The medical base station was piled full of wild boar monster meat, internal organs, and bones—dozens of tons of them.

And in the corner of the maintenance base station, Wu Wu Pifu had specially built racks made of dry wood to maintain their dryness, and they were piled full of various hundred-year-old medicinal herbs, mushrooms, and other mountain goods.

Although Gaia currently only had three areas, if the corridors were included, the area was nearly five or six hundred square meters. This was actually not small, and if he piled up food, he could pile up quite a lot.

After practicing his boxing today, Wu Wu Pifu began to prepare dinner. He first cut a piece the size of a basketball from the giant pig's kidney, broke off a section of pig bone, and then selected a wild ginseng at least two or three hundred years old, a piece of deer antler, and several pieces of old gastrodia from the mountain treasure rack, and began to boil them in a large iron pot he had found in the Song Dynasty.

A rich fragrance accompanied by the smell of medicine wafted out. Jiu Jiu stood on his shoulder and chirped softly, while Wu Wu Pifu quietly stirred the medicinal soup with a spatula, so as not to burn the bottom of the pot.

"... It's a pity that I don't know the recipes for various medicinal diets, and even less about the various medicinal formulas and combinations for the Human Immortal Martial Dao. Otherwise, if I configured them according to these formulas and agents, and added the wild boar monster's flesh, blood, and bones, the efficacy would definitely be much better than just boiling them simply."

Wu Wu Pifu said in a low voice, then scooped a spoonful of soup, let it cool slightly, and swallowed it in one gulp, carefully feeling the changes in his body's flesh and blood energy.

As his progress in condensing the Golden Dan over a hundred days improved, various changes in the Dan Jin were appearing.

Now, his perception and sensing of his own body had become exceptionally keen. Although he had not yet reached the cellular level, he could feel the flow of his veins and blood energy, and he could also rely on the internal energy within his body to control the gathering and dissipation of blood energy and vitality.

Just from this one spoonful of soup, he generally knew the efficacy and medicinal supplement level of this pot of soup; it was about ten percent better than eating the wild boar monster meat directly.

This already made him very satisfied.

Although there was a lot of wild boar monster meat, this was not a renewable resource.

A great monster with three hundred years of cultivation—it was rare to encounter, and he might not necessarily win the fight. It seemed like a lot, but he could not waste even a bit.

If adding medicinal supplements could improve its efficacy, even if it was only one-tenth, that was equivalent to saving one-tenth of the wild boar monster meat.

Wu Wu Pifu put down the spoon with satisfaction and said, "After the pursuit ends and I return to the Song Dynasty, I will go to the national treasury to see if there are any high-grade medicinal herbs, and by the way, search for some medicinal supplement recipes from the Imperial Hospital."

Jiu Jiu chirped twice.

Wu Wu Pifu laughed and said, "Isn't the Song Royal family's stuff equivalent to mine? I don't care if they live or die. Unless a good emperor appears among the descendants of the Song Dynasty—a true emperor who can understand the people—otherwise, I will really just suppress them and eat and drink... Speaking of which, I came out too hurriedly this time. I should have transported some rice and flour back, and I could also get some dehydrated vegetables and the like."

"If a person doesn't eat, they will starve to death."

Wu Wu Pifu said a useful piece of nonsense.

But this was actually his own realization.

The human technology of the 29th century was certainly advanced; that medical pod only needed more than half of the brain, and as long as one hadn't been dead for too long, it could save you.

But this was limited to the material level. Perhaps there were mental treatment instruments in the higher levels of the medical center, but now there was no way to think of that.

In the Dream World, besides physical injuries, there was also a lot of mental pollution and damage.

He had the Sleepless Spiritual Light cultivated from the Tiger Demon Art to offset and dispel it, but what about future teammates?

Once the mind is damaged, they will either fall into a coma or their strength will be greatly weakened. In this situation, they would not dare to explore and fight in the Dream World at all. Except for garrison missions, it could be said that they would not dare to enter the Dream World, so they would have to eat and drink in this Gaia.

Like when he was directly in a coma for more than a hundred days before, consuming a huge amount of carbon-based nano-units—if he encountered a similar situation again, as long as he could wake up, he could leave the medical pod, replace it with food, and then slowly nurture his spirit.

"After returning to Dongjing Bianliang of the Song Dynasty, I must buy a lot of things—food, vegetables, various fruits... and also seasonings like salt, then get a bed, and some furniture. If there are some books, paintings, or porcelain, I can also decorate it a little."

Wu Wu Pifu muttered to himself.

Jiu Jiu heard these words, immediately jumped around as if it were happy, and chirped non-stop.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll bring back some silk to decorate it. You can do the decorating. By the way, do you want me to build you a nice bird's nest?"

Wu Wu Pifu turned his head and asked Jiu Jiu.

Jiu Jiu, however, was suddenly furious, bumped into the space between his eyebrows, and then pecked at his face for a while.

"... A female monster is still a female. Truly fickle."

Wu Wu Pifu said helplessly, and then Jiu Jiu bumped even harder.

Not long after, a large pot of meat soup was stewed. Wu Wu Pifu gave Jiu Jiu a small bowl, then picked up the large pot. He wasn't afraid of the heat and ate the pig liver and medicinal herbs in large mouthfuls, occasionally fishing out a bone and biting it to pieces like a biscuit.

In less than ten minutes, the meat soup, which was enough to satisfy four or five big men, was all eaten by him, not even leaving the last bit of soup at the bottom. After eating, Wu Wu Pifu began to practice boxing again, not only to train in the Human Immortal Martial Dao but also to adapt to the control of his constantly surging blood energy and the explosive power of national martial arts.

The next day was already the tenth day of resting in Gaia. Wu Wu Pifu took Jiu Jiu back into the Song Dynasty Dream World. The next five days would be the last time to enter before the weekend. After that, he would have to experience the weekend, and ten days after the weekend would be the end of his hundred-day Golden Dan condensation. And then...

Baseline Reality 0.6 Dream World!

Still the same saying: those with high skills are bold. Not to mention that Wu Wu Pifu practiced national martial arts and the Human Immortal Martial Dao, which naturally bolstered his courage and spirit. His personality was also changing subtly, and he had realized the spirit of a common man, possessing his own pride in his heart.

He wanted to become stronger and wanted to see more scenery!

The next day, Wu Wu Pifu got up early, took Jiu Jiu, and entered the Song Dynasty Dream World again. He continued to advance in the deep mountains and old forests, killing monsters and ghosts along the way. Because it was a deep mountain forest, there were no horses, and his speed actually increased a lot.

As he continued north, on the third day, even though it was not winter, there was frost on the ground when he got up in the morning. The weather was getting colder, and at the same time, he finally discovered the traces of the Jin people and the primitive tribes of the Black Mountains and White Waters...

Dead people, many, many dead people. Often hundreds of men, women, and children died together.

At first glance, it looked like they froze to death, but careful observation revealed a difference: some of them had expressions of terror on their faces, clearly not in a sleeping state when they froze to death.

"An ice-type monster, or something else?"

Wu Wu Pifu continued to pursue forward, and then he had other discoveries.

!

Besides the people who froze to death, there were also some who were killed by weapons, but there was a sense of pollution and distortion where they had been hacked to death.

This made Wu Wu Pifu feel suddenly alert and cautious.

Perhaps in this extreme north, there was another powerful nightmare existence...

No!

It was not perhaps; the entire world must still have many, many powerful nightmares!

Wu Wu Pifu did not know how big this world was, and he did not know if the starry universe was real or fake, but even if it were only the size of Earth, or even just the size of Asia, Europe, and Africa, he did not know how many monsters and ghosts were in it. There must exist nightmares far more powerful than the giant wild boar monster!

"I am still very weak! I must become stronger, become even stronger, and never experience a tragedy like the Wusheng Laomu world again!"

Wu Wu Pifu muttered to himself. He carefully hid his figure, maximized his sensory acuity, and continued his pursuit.

By the fourth day of his return, he saw a battlefield that was still in progress.

About three or four thousand well-equipped Jin soldiers, whether on foot or on horseback, with bows or spears, formed battle lines and were fighting against an army in strange attire in front of them.

The equipment of that army was far simpler than that of the Jin soldiers, basically mostly axes, large cleavers, and leather armor, with very few long-range weapons, only a few throwing axes and javelins.

What caught Wu Wu Pifu's attention the most was that many people in this army wore helmets similar to bull horns, and many of them had red hair, and their physiques were taller than those of the Jin people.

The two sides fought on the edge of this snowfield. The number of Jin people was slightly higher than that of the alien soldiers. Although the alien soldiers were all fearless, the Jin people had the same morale, so gradually, that alien army began to retreat.

At this time, some people wearing white robes danced and gestured, and wolf packs made of ice and snow appeared from the snowfield, attacking the Jin army from the flanks.

And there were also priests in the Jin army. They shouted loudly, danced like shamans, and slaughtered lambs and the like, and some black energy emerged from some pottery jars behind them, entangling with the ice wolves.

At the same time, there were more than ten generals in the Jin army who roared and transformed into wild boar half-monster forms, charging into the alien army and becoming unstoppable for a time.

The scales of victory were tilting toward the Jin camp.

Just as Wu Wu Pifu intended to rush out immediately and kill all these Jin people, dozens of people from that alien army surrounded themselves in a circle and then committed suicide on the spot. Their blood flowed toward the center of the circle. Just as the wild boar half-monsters charged over, dozens of translucent humanoids wearing metal armor, about two to two and a half meters tall, emerged from this circle and fought against the dozen or so wild boar half-monsters.

The battle lasted for more than an hour. In the end, the alien army slowly retreated, and the Jin side barely managed a small victory. They cleaned up the battlefield and returned to their camp.

Wu Wu Pifu watched the alien army from afar for a long time without rushing down to silence the Jin people.

That army was a different civilization system outside of the Central Plains civilization!

Perhaps there was a powerful nightmare in that civilization. If he jumped out, he would be alerting the enemy.

"Northern Europe and Eastern Europe?"

Wu Wu Pifu muttered to himself.

In the end, he gave up on rushing out. Although these remaining Jin people were still his heart's trouble and he would eventually exterminate them all, if he let the alien nightmare know of his existence now, then things would be difficult to handle.

Now was the time to experience the weekend and then explore the Baseline Reality 0.6 Dream World. He had better not clash with the alien nightmare now.

Anyway, the Jin people could not escape. This was already the far northwest, and the Jin people had an alien civilization in front and their old home of Black Mountains and White Waters, which he had set on fire several times, behind them. They could only be trapped here.

Wu Wu Pifu turned around and headed toward Dongjing Bianliang.

Next...

It's time for the weekend!
