Its appearance was unassuming, lacking any luxurious feel, yet it exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chest wasn't locked, and Orion easily lifted the lid to reveal a bottle of blue potion inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The potion's neck was open, releasing a continuous stream of blue vapor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feels cool.\" Orion sniffed it, feeling a wave of comfort wash over him, erasing the fatigue from battle and slowly healing his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoa, this sensation, this smell?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An otherworldly Viagra?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion was thrilled. Through the panel, he could see the potion's attributes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ancient Titan Potion]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Function: Increases each attribute by (1-10) upon consumption. Ineffective if any attribute exceeds 90. Shelf life: 1 hour.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Titans, the pinnacle of both human and giant races—was this a potion they left behind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What pure power!\" Orion was amazed, realizing the potion held immense potential, but its essence was evaporating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant the sooner he consumed it, the better the effect. If he waited over an hour, the potion would become completely ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, based on his previous experience with potions, Orion knew that alchemical potions often carried mild side effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Titan Potion was likely no different, and its effects might be stronger and more potent than regular alchemical potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion patted his companion. \"Woofer, take me to a quiet, safe place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awoo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure safety and maximize the potion's effects, Orion, led by Woofer, found a secluded cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance was narrow, and Orion's large frame couldn't fit through. Fortunately, the surrounding rock wasn't too hard, so he used brute force to widen the entrance and squeezed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This layout, it might be a thief's tunnel or a rare mine.\" Orion observed his surroundings, noting that while the entrance was small, the interior was spacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Woofer find such an odd place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No time to ponder, Orion used branches and scattered stones to conceal the entrance, creating a makeshift hideout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, this stone feels strange?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion touched the stone, feeling a slight heat from the powder in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firestone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really was firestone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion looked around and quickly found scattered pieces of firestone, realizing he was in a mine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder how much firestone is here. If it's over 1000 pounds, that'd be great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the panel provided a prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Newbie Reminder: You've discovered a firestone mine with a reserve of 100 tons.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy fuck, 100 tons, am I seeing this right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion was so excited he nearly jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firestone was a highly burn-resistant mineral, extremely rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one ton of firestone could keep the Blackstone Tribe warm through the winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giants lived in simple conditions, mostly in tents. In past winters, they relied on deadwood and dry moss for warmth, rarely using precious firestone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Blackstone Tribe could occupy this mine before winter and start mining, they'd have enough firestone to survive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now wasn't the time to explore the mine. Orion memorized the location, then prepared to consume the Titan Potion, instructing Woofer to stand guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's begin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion tilted his head back and drank the Titan Potion, the cool liquid sliding down his throat like refreshing summer beer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, the potion turned scorching and volatile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's face twisted in pain as his muscles and body turned green, swelling, veins bulging like worms across his skin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhhh!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion gritted his teeth, unprepared for such a violent reaction. The burning sensation engulfed him, making him feel like he was about to burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like a balloon, ready to pop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awoo! Awoo—\" Woofer stood by anxiously, unable to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbearable pain consumed Orion's mind, eroding his will!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Orion was about to give in, a mysterious force emerged from his heart, coursing through his body before slowly fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, Orion's body stopped swelling and began returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion didn't notice any of this; he only felt the world go dark as he lost consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion didn't know how long had passed when he felt something gently licking his arm, waking him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awoo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion patted Woofer's head, smiling.

Orion looked around, finding no distinctive landmarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking for a moment, he said to Woofer, \"You can remember this place, right? Can you lead us back next time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woofer lifted a leg and urinated at the cave entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Basic Beast Taming, Orion and Woofer established a unique mental connection, allowing him also to find the place through scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's head home,\" Orion said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His first hunt had been fruitful, likely to surprise his mom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it might not impress his sister and dad, seasoned warriors who regularly hunted elite beasts, they wouldn't be too concerned with his small-scale efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right, I can go tease James.
