Chapter Summary: Winning Over Frozen Soil

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhang Chen wakes from a second strange dream involving an ancient tomb and a mysterious hand. He suspects the dreams are connected to the drop of blood he previously consumed and the crystal core developing inside his body.
• He examines his Golden Finger interface and confirms that his bodily transformations have become recognized skills rather than an invading entity:
  • Light of the Righteous God — Second Tier
  • Dragon Qi — Unranked
  • Blood Control — Unranked
• Zhang Chen concludes that the crystal core and the mysterious blood within it are connected to him, possibly forming another incarnation or extension of himself. He decides to prioritize upgrading the Light of the Righteous God so it remains powerful enough to suppress any future danger.
• He reflects on the Ancient Tomb, which lies only ten meters deeper beneath the Frozen Soil. Believing it contains tremendous opportunities, he plans to enter it eventually and deal with the Fox Spirit afterward.
• Zhang Chen prepares food and brings breakfast to Wang Wu, despite the hunter’s warnings that the Fox Spirit may target him through their relationship.
• Wang Wu insists that Zhang Chen keep his distance, but Zhang Chen refuses to abandon him because Wang Wu once saved him from starvation.
• In the mountains, Zhang Chen feeds his bumblebees, checks hunting traps, gathers prey, and uses Beast Control to collect honey. He discovers that honey production has declined because the flowering season is ending.
• He returns to excavating the Ancient Tomb. The Frozen Soil proves extraordinarily cold and difficult to break through. After half a day of work, Zhang Chen must retreat into the sunlight to warm himself.
• Realizing that digging manually could take several years, Zhang Chen develops two possible solutions: improving his skills to gain greater strength or burning wood in the passage to weaken the Frozen Soil overnight. He begins gathering firewood.
• He considers using gunpowder but rejects the idea because an explosion could collapse the passage and create even more work.
