Chapter 8 - Crow Ridge, Sunlight, and a Hint of Green A dark figure with blood-red eyes and a loud cawing sound that seemed somewhat noisy. These were the scavenging animals, crows. This mountain ridge where they perched was known to the nearby people as Crow Ridge. Long ago, Crow Ridge was just an ordinary place, but due to war, it became a site of rivers of blood and corpses scattered everywhere. With countless bodies left unattended, over time, these bodies transformed into undead creatures. Some became skeletons, but most turned into ghouls, lingering in this place. For a long time, ghouls would attack the residents of nearby towns, leading to those towns retreating ten miles away. After a considerable amount of time, many undead creatures dissipated because their soul fires couldn't replenish, but the ghouls that could sustain themselves continued to thrive, establishing their stronghold and dominating the area. In reality, if left unchecked, these low-level undead creatures w...

Chapter 4 - Run Really Fast With powerful forelimbs and large front claws, Tang Zhao had decent digging abilities. With enough patience, it was no problem for him to dig deep enough trap pits. Of course, his claws and teeth were not as dexterous as human fingers. It took some effort to set up spikes and cover the pit with branches, but fortunately, the results were worth it. He dug a small slope from the side of the pit. Tang Zhao stepped on the slope, stretched his neck, and bit the hind leg of the roe deer. With the force from his limbs and neck, he dragged it in front of him. Tang Zhao held the deer's body with his front claws, and his sharp teeth pierced through the prey's trachea. Soon, it stopped struggling and lost its life. He dug out a dagger from the ground and stuffed it into the prey's mouth. Tang Zhao quickly left while dragging the prey. There was the scent of a wolf pack nearby. It was too risky to eat in the same spot. As usual, he dragged the prey up a tree...

 Chapter 7 - Taking Root, Germination, and Soul Seedling The seed of the Tree of Life, which originally required the nourishment of elemental water to take root and sprout, had a strong reaction under the death aura of Lin Yan, an undead being. A rich vitality emanated and spread, as the outer shell gradually fell off. The emerald green light sphere moved slowly, completely occupying Lin Yan's heart position. Something that should have been ordinary, yet could be considered a great miracle, quietly occurred inside Lin Yan's body. For a seed to sprout, the first step was for the embryonic root to break through the seed coat. The embryonic root would then develop into the root system, deeply penetrating the soil. Next, the embryonic shoot would grow into the main stem, and the embryonic bud and cotyledons would extend and shed the seed coat. This was the entire process of seed germination and sprouting. It was widely known that the vitality of a plant was closely related to the d...

 Chapter 3 - Hunting Records With his keen sense of smell, Tang Zhao followed the faint smell of blood in the air and found the location where the group of hunters had been attacked. The two places were perhaps not far apart, only a few hundred meters. Tang Zhao quickly searched the bloody scene for things he could use. He found several copper coins with the image of a person holding a sword, two slightly blunt hunting knives, and finally some jewelry like rings and necklaces. Tang Zhao knew it was not safe to stay in this place for long. He wrapped everything up in a torn piece of leather and carried it with him. He learned the location of nearby water sources from the map he had seen earlier. However, Tang Zhao chose not to temporarily settle in those places but deliberately avoided them and ventured deeper into the forest. The reason was simple—he couldn't afford to provoke that group of wolves now. Dealing with wild beasts alone would be manageable, but the intelligent creature...

 Chapter 6 - Life, Death, and the Heart Even dragons couldn't consume it, let alone humans. Although humans possessed strong imagination and creativity. So it seemed that the seed of the Tree of Life was left with only one purpose, which was planting. However, even for the Elves, just taking care of their own seed and allowing it to evolve to the Tree of Life then into an Ancient Tree of Life, or even a higher level, required a significant amount of time and effort. It could be done, but it wasn't necessary. Allocating more resources to plant a second Tree of Life didn't seem to bring many benefits to the Elven race. Therefore, the seed of the Tree of Life was preserved like this. After all, its shelf life was quite long. Although a seed only appeared every ten thousand years, the Elves had quite a few of them, at least in double digits. It couldn't be helped. This was the advantage of the long-lived species, and the Elves were an ancient race. With a large quantity but...

Chapter 5 - Vitality, Ring, and Seed It took Lin Yan about three days to digest the swallowed magic crystal and nourish his own body. Under the nourishment of magic, Lin Yan's body completely broke free from a state of weakness, becoming solid, strong, and filled with "vitality". Becoming strong was inevitable, but the added vitality was due to his limbs no longer being stiff. His joints became more flexible, approaching a state similar to that of an ordinary person. Zombies, as undead beings, were completely different from the jumping and hopping zombies in Chinese legends. The body of a zombie wouldn't be completely stiff, but when not hunting for food, their movements were sluggish. Their limbs were somewhat rigid and uncoordinated, making their mobility slow, and there was even a possibility of tripping themselves. As a zombie, Lin Yan felt the biggest difference in his fingers. All five fingers could bend and stretch simultaneously, but they couldn't move fle...

Chapter 2 - Big Lizard (Part 2) It was a map with unfamiliar, crookedly written characters and crude drawings, but he could somewhat understand them. A forest occupied most of the sheepskin scroll, with lines resembling streams and pools, as well as various circles and crosses. There was a big question mark in the depths of the forest, indicating that the map's author didn't have much knowledge about that area. He knew this map would be useful to him, but he couldn't take it with him directly at the moment, so he chose to memorize its contents. The map didn't cover much area, and Tang Zhao only chose to remember a part of the images, which took about five to six minutes. After confirming that he didn't miss anything, he climbed up the uneven cave wall and reached the hanging vines responsible for concealing the cave entrance. The vines were directly connected to a tall tree, and Tang Zhao climbed to the canopy in one breath. After ensuring his temporary safety, he t...
