I Build My Home on the Back of Xuanwu

A wasteland-like apocalyptic world.

Animals and plants have mutated and are collectively referred to as fierce beasts.

And people have also mutated, but the variability of mutation is not as great as that of animals and plants.

There are three types of human mutations: the awakened, the mutants, and the enhancers.

Awakened: Only one in ten thousand people, with a variety of abilities.

Mutant: Only one in a thousand people, the strength of the Innate Talent is determined by the mutation.

Enhancer: Strengthening oneself by external forces, is also the mainstream power system.

The above-simplified information was learned by Mu Liang from Mino.

“Huh? Mu Liang, are you an Awakened???”

Minor’s eyes were dull, and she didn’t react to the shocking news for a while.

“Yes, my ability as an Awakened is to tame and raise animals.” Mu Liang nodded lightly.

The fact that he could tame animals would be exposed sooner or later, so he decided to pretend to be an awakened.

“Mu Liang, you are so…so powerful.”

Mino came back to her senses, grabbed Mu Liang’s arm, and stammered with excitement, not knowing how to express her emotions.

The young girl had heard from her elder sister before that there were no awakened people in their camp, only a few enhancers and mutants.

“Keep your voice down, don’t let others hear you.” Mu Liang reminded with a chuckle.

“Yes, yes… you can’t expose your identity.”

Mino covered her mouth cutely and nodded repeatedly.

The girl also fell into another dilemma, Mu Liang is an Awakened, would he stay in this small camp?

Mu Liang glanced at the girl who suddenly became quiet for some reason, and didn’t bother her.

He asked in his mind, “didn’t the system mention that it can inherit an ability from tamed animals?”

“Ding! Whether to inherit the Rock Tortoise’s talent: Earth Spikes.”

“Inherit.”

“Ding! Earth Spikes is being improved…adapted…inherited.”

Mu Liang listened to the mechanical sound in his mind, immediately following that he felt a cool and comfortable sensation in the deepest parts of his brain, and there was a warm current flowing throughout his body.

“System, open my character attributes.”

“Trainer: Mu Liang.

Physique: 6. Speed: 4.3.

Strength: 5. Spirit: 8.7.

Lifespan: 24 years/100 years.

Taming point: 0. (Refreshed every day, can be accumulated)

Evolution point: 0.

Ability: Earth Spikes (Level 1)

(Ordinary human body: 1.)

…

Tamed beasts: Rock Tortoise. (Level 1)

Talent: Earth Spikes. (Level 1

…

Mu Liang was shocked after reading the attribute panel.

The four-dimensional attributes of the human body have been enhanced, and even the lifespan has reached 100 years.

If the Rock Tortoise kept on evolving, could his life span reach a thousand years? Or even ten thousand years?

It’s not impossible to think about it. The taming points would be refreshed every day, and new animals could be tamed all the time.

As long as he inherits new talents, Mu Liang’s life span and four attributes would be strengthened.

“What kind of ability is Earth Spikes?”

Mu Liang didn’t read the introduction on the panel and decided to try it by himself.

With a thought, he activated the Earth Spikes ability and saw the ground bulging a few meters away, and a palm-length pointed rock protruded.

The Rock Tortoise tilted its head, and its emerald green eyes looked at the pointy rock in doubt.

“It’s not bad. It can be used as a sneak attack against the enemy’s feet, and it can make people lose their mobility.”

“If we can knock a person to the ground, and launch another ‘earth spike’, it will definitely be a fatal blow.”

Mu Liang’s military quality got him thinking about how to make the best use of the abilities he has acquired.

He checked the human attribute panel, the ability’s activation consumes physical and mental power.

“It can be activated about six times in total, which will drain all my energy.”

“In a conservative estimate, it’s better to use it three times, and reserve some energy for emergencies.”

Mu Liang immediately grasped the dividing point.

His mind now was on another matter, how to obtain energy-containing items, which is related to the strengthening of the Rock Tortoise.

First of all, they needed to set a goal, which was to bring the Rock Tortoise to the level of the sacred beast Xuanwu!

“Mu Liang, you are an Awakened. How did you faint that day?” Mino asked suddenly.

“I was bitten by a venomous beast.” Mu Liang put out the excuse he had already thought of.

It is impossible for him to reveal the identity of the traverser, and no one would believe it anyway.

“Then you’re going to leave after getting healed?” Mino felt lost.

After thinking for a while, the girl also came to terms with it.

Mu Liang was an Awakened, and with him repeatedly avoiding her question, she already realized the answer.

“Hm, I’ll go.” Mu Liang nodded lightly.

Whenever he’s decided, he’ll leave the camp one day.

Only once he’s outside can he tame new animals and get energy-containing items.

Mino bit her lower lip and asked bitterly, “When will you leave?”

“In two days.” Mu Liang decided to stay for another two days.

Because his power was strengthened, he’s now fully recovered, and even became stronger.

The reason for staying for another two days is to find out if he can find items laced with energy in the camp.

“So fast? Can’t you stay a few more days?”

Mino wanted to cry, but she resisted the urge and looked at Mu Liang pleadingly.

“You forgot, the tax will be paid in three days.” Mu Liang raised his hand and wiped the charcoal ash on the girl’s cheek.

The girl is pretending to be a boy, namely, she put some charcoal ash on her face.

Then wrapped her head with a piece of cloth and put on a large grey tattered rag.

“I will catch the lizards, you have to trust me.” Mino clasped Mu Liang’s hand tightly, promising eagerly.

“Then let me ask you a question.”

“Are you willing to go with me two days later?” he asked gently.

“I wish…” Mino stopped mid-sentence.

The girl thought of her sister who had left, and remembered what she said to her at her departure: you must wait for me to come back to find you.

“You don’t have to answer me now, you will tell me the answer in two days.” Mu Liang comforted her softly.

They’ve only known each other for five days. So asking the girl to leave the place where she lived for a long time, and accompany him out to wander. It was also a bit tough choice to make.

“Hm.” Mino nodded slightly, her small face tangled up, and her heart was in a mess.

Should she leave with Mu Liang?

Or stay and wait for her sister?

If they missed each other, the two might never meet each other again.

If she missed her sister, she might never see her forever.

So hard!
