BXBX NOVEL Chapter 9: Lost, mistakenly entered the desert
[Consuming 1 simulation count, remaining count: 0]
[Extracting Green Talent costs 1,000 Energy Value, Blue Talent costs 100,000 Energy Value. Please choose!]
The increase was significant, but to Jiang Yifeng, it was a piece of cake.
"Extract Blue Talent."
[Ding, 100,000 Energy Value deducted, remaining Energy Value: ; Blue Talent extraction in progress.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained Blue Talent: Five Elements Fake Spiritual Root]
[Five Elements Fake Spiritual Root: A defective spiritual root with attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It can be cultivated, but the speed is extremely slow. (Note: Among fake spiritual roots, it is the worst!)]
Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng was delighted.A cultivation talent had arrived.
Even though it was described as the worst talent, he didn\'t mind much.
Regardless, having a spiritual root was better than having none.
Without further thought, Jiang Yifeng eagerly looked at the simulation panel.
[Fourth simulation begins.]
[You realize you are already in the simulation.]
[After thinking for a moment, you feel that your progress in Martial Dao is difficult.]
[Now that you have a spiritual root, you should first obtain the Heavenly Profound Art and then try cultivation.]
[So you set off immediately, preparing to head to the Evergreen Mountain Range.]
[As soon as you step out of the door, you encounter your father, Jiang Fushan.]
[He asks you what has been going on lately and why you have been buying gold, silver, and jewels in large quantities.]
[You are momentarily speechless; you can\'t directly say you need energy. So you lie and say you\'ve developed a new hobby.]
[Your father, Jiang Fushan, hearing this, doesn\'t press further and just asks if you have enough money.]
[You touch the few million silver notes left on you, nod, and say you are indeed short of money.]
[Hearing this, your father, Jiang Fushan, smiles and hands you a key.]
[He says it\'s the key to his study, and you can take money from there if you need it.]
[You feel touched and tearfully say, "Alright, I\'ll definitely take it."]
[After your father leaves, you quickly depart from Green Hills City.]
[You still choose to run this time.]
[It\'s not because you want to train; running no longer enhances your strength.]
[It\'s just because you still don\'t know how to ride a horse.]
[On the first day, even though you set off at noon, by evening, you are already two hundred miles away from Green Hills City.]
[This is all because you now have a Martial Dao cultivation at the sixth level of body tempering.]
[If you run at full speed, your speed is comparable to an average fast horse.]
[On the second day, you quicken your pace and continue on your journey without any special incidents.]
[On the third day, you travel all day and spend the night in an unknown dilapidated temple.]
[On the fourth day, you continue at full speed, and nothing happens.]
[On the fifth day, during a break, you encounter mountain bandits.]
[Seeing the group of bandits, you not only don\'t panic but even feel a bit excited.]
[You shout, "Eliminate evil for the people," and charge forward.]
[These ordinary bandits, even if there are hundreds of them, are no match for you.]
[In just a few minutes, most of the bandits are dead, with only the bandit leader escaping on a good horse.]
[But you don\'t let it go and chase after him, determined to root them out completely.]
[While shouting to eliminate evil for the people, you are actually thinking about how these bandits had robbed you several times in previous simulations.]
[Now that you have the strength, you must take revenge.]
[The bandit leader flees on horseback, and you chase after him on foot, both of you moving at equal speeds.]
[Two hours later, after running at full speed, you are out of breath.]
[Although your speed is comparable to a fast horse, your endurance is clearly lacking.]
[But thinking about the bandits\' previous robberies, you refuse to give up the chase.]
[A day later, you run the bandit leader\'s horse to death, and he dies under your fists.]
[Feeling avenged for the robberies in the simulator, you laugh heartily.]
[After laughing, you collapse, lying on the ground, exhausted and in pain.]
[A whole day of running at full speed has left you utterly exhausted.]
[Once you lie down, you quickly fall asleep, completely ignoring the fact that you are in the wild.]
***
Jiang Yifeng felt speechless seeing this.
Was he really that petty?
Was it necessary to kill the bandit leader\'s horse just to avenge a couple of simulated robberies?
One of which didn\'t even succeed?
Moreover, it wasn\'t clear if these bandits were the same group.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Jiang Yifeng thought that the simulated version of himself must have been thinking about eliminating evil for the people.
***
[Fortunately, your luck was good. The next day, you woke up unharmed, without encountering any wild beasts.]
[Waking up, you look around, feeling a bit lost.]
[You realize that you have deviated from your planned route.]
[Suddenly, you remember that you chased the bandit leader at full speed for an entire day, possibly covering nearly a thousand kilometers.]
[Deviating from the route was normal.]
[You quickly take out the Heavenly Profound Temple\'s coordinate map for comparison.]
[After a few minutes, you stand there, dazed, with only three words in your mind: Where am I?]
[The coordinate map of the Heavenly Profound Temple only shows the route from Green Hills City to the temple.]
[But your current location is beyond the map, and you have no idea where you are.]
[You think about retracing your steps from the previous day\'s chase, but you can\'t remember the route.]
[Feeling lost for a while, you look towards the largest mountain range in the distance and head in that direction.]
[You remember that the Evergreen Mountain Range spans several countries.]
[You think that heading towards the largest mountain range should be the right choice.]
[A day later, you have traveled several hundred kilometers without encountering a single person, and the surroundings become increasingly desolate.]
[The large mountain range you saw earlier is still far away.]
[At this moment, you realize you are completely lost.]
[Another two days pass, and you still haven\'t encountered anyone. You have no idea where you are!]
[Logically, even in the most remote areas, after traveling one or two thousand kilometers, you should have encountered a few villages.]
[Now, looking at your dwindling rations, you start to panic.]
[Three more days pass, and you lie in the desert, your eyes vacant, having lost hope in life.]
[Not only are you lost in an unknown desert, but you also haven\'t had food or water for two days.]
[You feel you might starve to death here.]
