Following the direction from which the Bear Slayer team came, An Yinong exited out of the dense forest. In front of him was a grassland with weeds higher than his knees, making it very difficult to walk. On the other side of the grassland, there seemed to be a row of rock walls tens of meters high.
He put down the telescope. What kind of geological changes would cause the land to have such a fractured effect?
An Yinong did not know at the moment. Right now he knew he needed food, enough food.
He glanced at the game screen.

Congratulations to the player for reaching the first level and obtaining one free attribute.
Congratulations to the player for reaching level 1 and obtaining one free attribute.
Congratulations to the player for reaching the third level and obtaining one free attribute.
The entertainment industry in the Star Age must be very easy to get into, with so much attention, only eight people had become fans. They must have made a thorough distinction between life and entertainment, and would easily chase stars.
This made An Yinong’s plan more difficult.
Judging from the original owner’s parents’ situation, he would most likely be classified as a low-level Zerg. Even if he survives to the end and got enough rewards, he still had to pay these people. If a low-level Zerg faced several high-level Zergs without the help of public opinion, things would be much more difficult.
Plus he also exposed the power of the Zerg system, tsk. Forget it, there was no point in thinking so much. The most important thing was to survive and live to the end.
As An Yinong walked forward under the gaze of eight cameras, he carefully opened the first flashing “free attribute point”. A line of words popped up on the game screen: You can choose to increase health/physique/strength/agility.
He thought about it and increased his physical fitness.
The reward description disappeared, and An Yinong saw a beam of light flying into his body, and his tired body seemed to relax a little. However, this feeling was not very obvious, indicating that the effect of the “free attribute” was not great. Afterwards, he added the remaining two free attributes to his physique, and finally felt an obvious improvement, and walking became easier.
“Why is there no specific value?”
“This is a cheat code in the form of a real-life game. It’s a real game. The host’s physical condition changes every minute, so it’s hard to express it with a stable number.”
An Yinong expressed his understanding, and then asked, “So the reward for this game is actually to improve my personal physical fitness and find nearby ownerless objects that I can take?”
“Yes.” The system head said, the former is the attribute, and the latter was the previous fungus.
“That’s wrong.” Under eight cameras, these non-material rewards were more secretive and helped him more.
The wasteland looked big, but one will realize how far it is when one walked on it. There was no road here, so An Yinong walked through the grass. When he turned around, he found that the road he was walking on was crooked, which wasted a lot of his time.
There were many grass elves in the grass. They looked cute, but they are less cute when they floated up and caused him to sneeze. An Yinong also saw some small animals running on the ground, and being hungry, he wanted to kill them.
Strangely enough, he was so murderous that he couldn’t control the little animals and let them come over to die, so he could only watch them disappear into the grass and run away.
“It really is giving every loophole. Hmm? What is this?”
There was a patch of plowed grass in the distance ahead, with a crude stone stove in the middle and traces of burning underneath. An Yinong walked over and saw that the stove was made of three stones and contained half-burned firewood.
He squatted down to check and felt something strange. These firewoods were not dead branches, but wood chopped into pieces. The cut ends were very rough, as if they were chopped with some very convenient tools.
“Glass fragments?” He found a small black fragment on a piece of firewood. The fragment had typical shell patterns on it. Glass?
Then An used some farm firewood to poke around in the ash pile. There were some white broken bones in it, and he knew what animal it belonged to. In addition, he found a few pieces of broken pottery in the ashes of the fire, and barely put them together to make half a crooked yellow pottery basin, which was decorated with black geometric patterns.
An Yinong picked up the pottery shard and examined it carefully. The shard was smooth, as if it was hand-made. The black pattern on it looked like water waves, and there was a triangular fish inside.
This was the first day of the game, but these things seem to have been abandoned for a long time. They must be the work of the game developers. Why would the game developers prepare these things for no reason? What is their meaning?
An Yinong wrote down the pattern on the broken pottery basin and prepared to move on. He took two steps, turned back, and once again returned to the ash pile and reached out to pick up something.
The hollow and slender bones were from birds, with some unburned feathers next to them. The small white bones were from small rodents, whose heads had been gnawed clean, leaving dark red bloodstains, and there were also many fish bones.
Although there was fire, the people who made the bonfire seemed to still have the habit of eating half-cooked meat.
He picked up the black fragment again. It should be volcanic glass, otherwise known as obsidian.
In ancient times, metal tools had not yet been smelted, so people used stone and bone tools, including stone axes and stone knives. After obsidian was hammered to a sharp edge, it became a very useful stone knife or stone spear.
“The hint is, in the ancient times when people ate raw meat and drank blood?”
The plot line was centered around the protagonist. Mai was an insignificant tool who was offline in the middle stage, so his chapter was very short, and there was even less about this game.
An Yinong recalled carefully and still found some useful information. He had to guess from the perspective of a pure player.
The plot hinted that the game designer was a fan of ancient worlds, and the game’s main environment was basically modeled after the Zerg’s home planet. So, would it be a routine like “returning to primitive society on behalf of others”?
At that time, there were many terrifying creatures on the Zerg’s original planet. The Zerg were also in the upper-middle level of the food chain, and there were even more powerful predators above them. For example, the giant wind-controlling beast before, and these plants in the forest that can hear the sounds.
“But that alone should not to be the reason why such a high mortality rate should occur.”
With doubt, he carefully checked the grassland again. The wild grass on the left had many broken marks, which were left by people stepping on it repeatedly.
He carefully walked in that direction following the obvious trace. At the end of the road was a strange stone formation. Two long stones, one large and one small, stood on the grass, covered with a stone slab more than ten centimeters thick. From a distance, it looked like a crooked stone bench.
He walked over and realized that the ‘stone bench’ that looked small was actually very large. It was supported by three stones and was more than enough for him to form a small station. But the most amazing thing was the red rock paintings on the stone, on the inside of the stone bar, where it was wet by the rain.
“Is it a hunting map?”
The first rock painting on the left showed a group of Zerg chasing their prey with spears, axes and bows and arrows. They had caught a very large animal with two horns in a net. A tall man with a single horn on his head was holding a spear and looking at the animal.
At the bottom of the picture, a man holding a scepter gave a crooked tooth to the tall man, and behind him was a group of people dancing around a bonfire.
The Zerg in the rock paintings were very creative. They still had the same appearance as today where they could freely transform between human and insect forms, but the human form was partially covered by the insect form. This could be seen from the half-human, half-insect appearance of the little man.
There were no lines belonging to people in the first painting, but there were vertical lines, and under the vertical lines were some thick and short lines, which were painted very messily. An Yinong pondered for a long time, but still couldn’t understand what this meant.
The third picture showed the same tall man (his hands were longer than his knees, which was a very obvious feature), lying down, surrounded by a familiar bench-like stone. There are pottery, jewelry, animal skins and other things around him.
There were many animals painted around him, and above the long bench was a man with three wings, with his hands spread out as if blessing. And in the outermost circle was a group of people kneeling.
The fourth painting was still the man. He was sitting there, holding something in his hand. There was a bare woman next to him, two children around them, and there were many animals and plants around them. The painting was framed by a square, on the left and right sides of which stood half-human figures with lion heads and long tusks.
An Yinong’s fingers touched the lion-headed half-human statue: “Raya.”
Among the several original Zerg civilizations, there was one whose god of death was a lion-headed half-human figure. This theme had always been a hot topic in movies, TV series, and virtual games, and even people like the original owner who are on a remote planet know it.
It seemed that the third painting was what the man looked like in another world after his death, but it was just a beautiful blessing.
“So this is a tomb?”
According to thinking, all the unusual things in the game had meaning. So An Yinong hesitated for two seconds and started the business of tomb robbing without hesitation. He dug the soil under the stone bench.
Before he dug very deep, a skeleton covered with insect armor appeared in front of him.
The skeleton was lying there straight, but in a twisted state, it was indeed a combination of insect and human form, and had not yet reached the level of being able to change shape like it is today.
An Yinong was curious about the setting of this world, which was quite interesting.
On the skeleton, he could see a necklace of animal teeth. It was made of many animal teeth, hanging all over the neck, at least fifty or sixty. Assuming that one tusk represented a hunting achievement, then this long list…
It seemed that the person buried here was a warrior who had many glorious achievements and was admired and loved by others, so he specially built such a tomb. There should be something valuable in a tomb like this, right?
In addition to this string of animal teeth, the burial objects included several stone tools, several animal skins, painted pottery, gem necklaces, and hats made of bird feathers. Nothing seemed to be useful.
“Did the game developers create such a tomb just to supplement the background?” An Yinong was about to leave when he suddenly looked at one of the rock paintings. The man in the painting was holding a piece of animal skin.
There were six animal skins among the skeleton’s burial objects, each with an abstract map drawn on it. He compared them one by one before finding the correct one (the shape and texture of the skins were the same).
“Hey, kid, give it to me.”
Before An Yinong had time to take a closer look, a voice came from behind him.
