"Is this a True Relic?"

He had never imagined that this so-called True Relic had been by his side all along, less than a hand's length away.

"This really is..."

Su Heng smiled, somewhat speechless.

But then he frowned. While the pendant was not particularly valuable, it was still something his parents had left behind as a keepsake.

If it was simply absorbed by him, he really would have to think it over.

As though it had sensed Su Heng's thoughts and hesitation.

A line of faint text appeared before him again.

Absorbing True Points will not cause any damage to the relic. Absorb this True Relic? Yes

After hearing that the pendant would not be damaged, Su Heng let out a sigh of relief. There was nothing left to hesitate over.

Soon, a gentle white light lit up across the pendant's surface.

True Points absorbed successfully. True Points gained this time: 50 True Points needed to unlock the next template: 250 Please continue exploring the Real World, obtain more relics, unlock more templates, and cultivate more powerful Template Creatures. Enjoy the game.

Lines of black text appeared before Su Heng like scrolling subtitles.

"Explore the Real World?"

Su Heng noticed the more important information in the scrolling text.

"So these relics were obtained from the Real World?"

"But what exactly is the Real World? What does it have to do with the world I'm currently in?"

Su Heng's thoughts churned.

After obtaining his first True Relic, not only had he failed to find answers, but the questions in his heart had only multiplied.

There were still less than two hours until the login refresh.

Su Heng played two rounds of offline games, then browsed the news for a while. For the first time, he felt that two short hours could be so unbearably long.

The clock struck noon.

Su Heng lay on the bed and closed his eyes, silently visualizing Little Snake in his mind.

A faint dizziness rose from the depths of his boundless consciousness. When Su Heng woke again, he found himself back in that lush primeval jungle.

Hiss...

Before he could adapt to the body, a stabbing pain surged from its torso.

Only then did Su Heng realize.

He had been gone for less than half a day, yet the Little Boa had already suffered serious injuries.

Along its long, powerful body, there was a row of bite marks around the middle.

Its beautiful dark-gold scales were shattered, its flesh mangled, and crimson blood continuously seeped from its torso.

Wave after wave of sharp pain flooded into his consciousness like a rising tide.

What had happened?

At just the right moment, the Little Boa's consciousness sent Su Heng a feeling of grievance.

Seeing the enormous crocodile before him, Su Heng took control of the Little Boa's body and finally understood what had happened during the less than half day he had been away.

The ever-hungry Little Boa had tried to steal crocodile eggs.

But clearly, the Little Boa did not possess Su Heng's wealth of experience. After swallowing a crocodile egg and attempting to return the way it came.

It had run straight into the female crocodile.

A fierce battle had erupted.

Looking at the giant beast crouched before him in an attacking stance, Su Heng did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"You stole its eggs yourself, and now you're upset because you got beaten up?"

The Little Boa's consciousness bounced lightly, clearly unable to understand the more complicated emotion Su Heng had conveyed.

But the Little Boa had its own straightforward way of thinking.

As long as this consciousness appeared in its body, it would not have to do anything and could eat its fill! It could eat lots of delicious things!

So Dad meant a full tummy!

Sensing the Little Boa's simple, straightforward thought process, Su Heng smacked his lips inwardly.

"Alright, so I'm the one doing all the work."

Of course, the thought only flashed through his mind. The Little Boa's closeness and trust made Su Heng happy.

For more than half a year since arriving in this unfamiliar world, he had been recuperating in his little room. Naturally, he could not have had any friends.

That loneliness of watching his life slowly wither away while being powerless to stop it.

If Su Heng had not been optimistic by nature, he probably would have jumped off a building and ended it all before the system ever came to him.

But after meeting the Little Boa, a little color had finally appeared in Su Heng's gray and white life.

Hiss...

Looking at the Caiman Crocodile before him, Su Heng slowly coiled his body into a ball and assumed the standard attack posture of a snake.

The one that had bitten the Little Boa was an adult female Caiman Crocodile.

It was a type of short-snouted crocodile that lived in primeval jungles. In Su Heng's original world, Caiman Crocodiles were generally under two meters long, averaging around one and a half meters. They were considered small crocodiles.

Though their teeth were sharp, their bite force was not particularly strong. An adult could easily pin down a Caiman Crocodile and subdue it.

Because of this, Caiman Crocodiles were often jokingly called the shame of crocodiles.

But in this collapsing world with its Blood Moon, every living creature could undergo unknown changes.

Take the Caiman Crocodile before him, for example. It was already over three meters long, twice the size of an ordinary Caiman Crocodile, and its weight had increased by more than three or four times.

With such a massive body and sharp teeth, it was no wonder the Little Boa had been bitten by this monster.

"If we fight head-on, there's definitely no chance. This Caiman Crocodile is far bigger than the Little Boa."

When faced with danger.

Su Heng instead calmed down and began analyzing how to break the deadlock.

"If we run away..."

The moment the thought appeared, Su Heng rejected it.

The Little Boa had not failed to consider running before, but it had been bitten by the Caiman Crocodile during its escape.

Even an uninjured Anaconda could not escape from the Caiman Crocodile, let alone one that was already wounded.

Besides...

As a loyal fan of animal documentaries, Su Heng also knew that in nature's struggles, turning one's back on an opponent was an extremely dangerous thing to do.

"So we can only fight head-on."

Not only did he have to fight, he had to defeat this terrifying opponent. The key to breaking the situation was—

"Deep Blue, add points!"

Ding! The host currently possesses 50 True Points and may conduct one ordinary-tier talent draw. From the talent draw, one of three talents may be chosen. An ordinary-tier talent draw is guaranteed to produce an ordinary-tier talent. There is a small chance of obtaining a rare-tier talent, and a small chance of upgrading an ordinary-tier talent into a rare-tier talent. Proceed with the draw?
