I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

"Cough cough..." Lu Yuan cleared his throat, standing on a large rock, posing like a leader.

"I announce, the results this time... everyone is quite normal, performed well!"

"As a harmful creature, how could we possibly take good care of a rat? Eating it is the normal choice, the more we eat, the more normal it is." He flattered the crowd.

"Ao!!"

Everyone screamed, even Old Wolf, who had eaten three rat tails, was cheering and jumping around.

Lu Yuan always felt something was a bit off, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your coachman is taking you out of the hospital."

He called his friends to get on the cart, the total weight of all these animals was nearly a ton.

Especially the turtle inside the convertible, crazily twisting around, and the wolf and cat dancing disco on the turtle's shell, making the tricycle constantly shake.

"Would you fuckin' stop moving, why do I find it a bit hard to pedal?"

It wasn't that his strength was lacking, but rather his own weight wasn't quite enough.

Even when he stood on the pedal, he couldn't press it down.

This really was a case of a small horse pulling a huge cart.

"Then transform!"

"Transform! Hey bro, being a tree is pretty good too!"

The two good bros roared furiously, mixed with howls from Old Wolf.

"Whoosh," Lu Yuan was quite helpless, actually he with a 50-kilogram load could pedal the tricycle, but now he could only turn into a large tree, he climbed onto the tricycle, and used his own vines to pedal the tricycle.

"I keep feeling more and more that something is off, isn't this scene a bit too weird?" Lu Yuan said expressionlessly.

Actually, he wanted to make a face, but couldn't—after all, a tree is just a tree, only a human body could make expressions.

The wheels clattered noisily on the cobblestone ground.

"This is fun, let Mr. Turtle give it a try!" Undying Giant Turtle howled inside the convertible.

Having no choice, Lu Yuan let it take over and happily reverted back to his human form.

Now the style was even less serious.

A pitch-black turtle, pedaling a tricycle.

With each pedal, the chain made a "whooshing" sound.

The giant turtle was surprisingly agile, and the size of the tricycle was just right.

"If we compare the tricycle to The White Dragon Horse, who will be the master?" Old Cat suddenly said.

Lu Yuan was in a very Buddhist mood now, feeling the profound essence of The Buddha, unswayed by joys of possessions or saddened by personal loss.

The flat landscape made riding the tricycle quite feasible, reaching speeds of around 20 kilometers per hour.

It actually was much faster than walking. In the really rough areas, they could even have the turtle carry the tricycle.

Soon, they circled a lake and found a clear stream.

They replenished their water supply for the last time, filling the Storage Space to the brim, and set off grandly in the direction of Sky City.

"Sky City, here we come!"

"Awoo!!"

...

...

Days passed by day by day.

Suddenly another month passed.

Happy times are always fleeting; monotony and blandness are the main parts of a journey.

The vastness of the desert exceeded Lu Yuan's imagination.
Experience more on empire

Ever since they left that lake, the air got drier and drier, and it never rained again.

Even though it seemed to be spring, there were cloudless skies, and under the scorching sun, the land cracked more and more, hardened, losing its original vitality.

Only a little tricycle was making its solitary way across the vast drought-ridden land.

"Turtle hates dryness."

Undying Giant Turtle, after a month of traveling, was getting irritable with the action of pedaling the tricycle.

Most crucially, it was very eager for water.

The weather was so hot, not to mention not being able to swim, there wasn't even water to drink.

"Who would have thought, getting tortured in prison wasn't a big deal, but coming out to be roasted alive."

It kept complaining.

Lu Yuan, speechless, took a basin of ice-cold water from the Storage Space and brought it over for it to drink.

Undying Giant Turtle held the basin and gulp it all down in one go.

"Back to life... thanks, bro..." It breathed roughly, still unsatisfied.

"Bro, it's not that I don't want to give you more, but we really have to conserve," Lu Yuan said helplessly.

"If we waste too much now, we'll die of thirst on the way..."

"How about I give you another basin, and that's your last water for today, plan it yourself?"

The turtle stared at the basin, the water drops rolling to the bottom like sparkling diamonds.

It heavily shook its head, then leaned over to lick them.

"Continuing this way isn't a solution, let's think of recycling," Old Cat came up with a good idea, "You guys hold your pee, don't just go anywhere. During breaks, dig a pit and pee in it."

"Then cover the pit with a thin plastic film. When the urine evaporates, you'll see sparkling water droplets on the film."

"Similarly, you can condense water droplets from the moisture in feces!"

"Fuck, are you even human? You want Mr. Turtle to eat poop?" The turtle, licking the basin, was stunned, its huge body trembling.

Old Cat's round eyes looked at it: "First, I'm not a human, I don't need to drink water."

"Secondly, I said to eat the condensed water droplets, dummy."

It turned its head: "Lu Yuan, you're also a big water user, can't you just be a tree? You could probably handle some pee and poop with your roots. Even your dog can eat poop."

"That's good, that's good, bro you eat poop, I'll eat the droplets!" the turtle exclaimed in delight.
