“Not bad!”
Tang Hao grinned and stuffed the shard in his pocket.
Not all beasts had shards in their bodies. It all depended on one’s luck.
He was lucky to find a shard in his first kill.
Iron shards were the most common type, while gold shards were a lot rarer. That was why there was such a sensation when the old man obtained a gold shard.
Platinum and purple gold shards were even rarer. As for dark gold shards, even the most powerful factions did not have many of them.
Rainbow shards were only a legend.
After looking at the corpse, Tang Hao decided to taste it.
He was told that the food here would nourish the soul.
He removed the skin, dismembered the body, and lit a bonfire. Soon, the aroma of meat wafted in the air.
“What a pity. There’s no seasoning here, not even a bit of cumin…” Tang Hao lamented.
He tore off a piece of meat, tasted it, and was surprised.
The meat was very tender and fresh. The sensation was no different from the real world.
“How amazing!” Tang Hao exclaimed. Then, his expression became strange. If he could eat in this virtual world, would he be able to make out with a woman too?
He could not help but laugh. Then, he continued to eat the meat.
After eating half of the animal, his entire body felt warm and comfortable. It seemed that there were some benefits to eating it.
“This is a latter period rabbit. Would a Golden Core rabbit be more delicious?”
Tang Hao’s eyes lit up with greed.
“Forget it. It’s not like I can fight against Golden Core monsters now!” He shook his head and laughed dryly.
He was only in the latter period, and he did not have the help of Artifacts. Fighting a Golden Core monster was nothing but a suicide mission.
He let the food settle in his stomach for a while before moving forward.
Along the way, he killed several beasts and obtained another shard, though he ate every one of the beasts.
The place was barren and desolate. The trees looked very ancient, and the monsters were all very strange. He noticed a giant beast as big as a hill moving among the mountains.
Rumble! Rumble!
The ground was shaking.
The Void Realm was quite ancient, and it was created by referencing the prehistoric world.
That was why the animals and plants look so ancient.
Screech!
A cry was heard in the sky.
A huge bird flew over, and its wings blotted out the sun. Its head was as big as a hill, and its feathers were pitch-black with a metallic luster.
Tang Hao looked up and recognized that it was very similar to the bird that flew past the market.
“That’s so big!” Tang Hao exclaimed.
Then, he continued forward.
Not long after, the bird came again and flew over his head.
Tang Hao was stunned and looked in the direction it flew.
He remembered that bird was holding something in its claws earlier. It must have flown back to its nest after hunting, and now it was going out again.
It must be stockpiling food. The prey must be in its nest.
“I have an idea!”
Tang Hao’s eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed in that direction.
About ten minutes later, he arrived at the nest.
It was a huge valley with bleached bones scattered all over. Tang Hao looked around and saw several beasts piled up in a corner of the nest.
They were all monstrous beasts, but they were puny when compared to the bird.
Tang Hao rushed over and began to loot the shards.
The scales of the beasts were very thick, and it took Tang Hao a lot of effort.
There were five beasts in total, but he only managed to find three shards. Two of them were gold, and the other one was iron.
Tang Hao was extremely excited. He had found gold shards. Some people might not even find one after several days of hard work. Now, he had found two pieces without much effort.
He laughed heartily and quickly put it away.
He looked into the sky and saw no movement. That big bird had not returned yet.
He grabbed a beast and wanted to drag it out of the nest, but he suddenly noticed several huge eggs in a pile.
“Bird eggs?”
Tang Hao’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He threw the beast aside and headed straight for the bird eggs.
The eggs laid by such an immense bird must be more nutritious than the meat of the beasts.
Taking advantage of the fact that the bird had not returned, he quickly stole one.
He carried an egg on his back and ran out.
As he ran, he looked up at the sky in case the bird returned.
The feeling was like stealing the qi core of the alpha tyrannosaur from those Golden Core freaks. It was too exciting.
“Run! Run!”
He ran wildly.
However, the egg on his back was too heavy, so he could not run too fast.
A moment later, an earth-shaking roar was heard in the sky.
Countless people on the ground raised their heads and looked at the sky, Their faces were full of shock.
“Oh my god! Who provoked that monster? Does he want to die?”
Everyone cried out in alarm.
The giant demonic roc was one of the apex predators in the region. Many sects had joined their forces in an effort to subdue it, but none had succeeded.
After that, everyone kept a respectful distance from it.
The demonic roc flew past like lightning, roaring furiously, causing the entire region to shake.
In the forest, Tang Hao’s expression changed drastically.
The giant bird was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of him and swooped down.
“Oh my god!”
Tang Hao let out a shriek. He threw the egg aside and ran wildly.
Screech!
With an angry cry, the giant bird flapped its wings furiously and sent blades of wind rolling in all directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The trees exploded and the ground cracked.
The power was like countless missiles bombarding at the same time.
“F*ck!”
Tang Hao was not directly hit, but he was blown away by the shockwave and fell to the ground.
Before he could recover, a wind blade hit his body.
It was too fast, and there was no time for him to react. Tang Hao’s vision went black. The next moment, he opened his eyes and found himself back in the real world.
“How embarrassing!” Tang Hao muttered.
He had only been there for less than a day, and he had already died once. Although he did not suffer much except for a slight injury to his soul.
Suddenly, he exclaimed as though he thought of something.
“My shards!”
Losing the egg was not a big deal. The shards, however, were a great loss.
He quickly went back into the Void Realm. He searched his body and found nothing.
“Dammit, they must have fallen over there!”
“Hey, kid! How did you get back here? I didn’t see you come in!”
The old man with the club was crouching by the side of the road. He looked at Tang Hao with puzzlement.
The other townsfolk were also puzzled.
“Ahem! I accidentally died!”
Tang Hao said with a red face.
Everyone was stunned.
“You’re really an oddity! How long has it been since you first got here, and you’ve already died once?”
“Kid, don’t tell me that you were the one who provoked that demonic roc just now?”
Everyone exclaimed in unison. They looked at Tang Hao as if he was an idiot.
He had just arrived, yet he provoked the roc and died. They had never seen such an odd character before!
