Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Desert Treasure Hunt (Part 7)
Hoo~
At the moment of unleashing the Red Blood Divine Soldiers for the decisive kill, Zhang Yuan also exhaled his last breath.
An unprecedented feeling of weakness instantly engulfed his entire being.
Having lost the last bit of strength, Zhang Yuan could no longer support his body and fell backward to the ground.
Bang!
His back of the head hit the ground heavily, making a dull thud.
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan, with crimson blood oozing again from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.
He even felt that the back of his head had already been bruised, and the wound was bleeding incessantly.
How could this be possible?
The exceedingly weak Zhang Yuan was struck with fear.
It’s important to know that he had already reached the peak of Tier Five as a martial artist and had cultivated the "Six Harmonies Qilin Body" to the Great Success Realm, making his physique extremely robust.
Even if his True Essence Internal Power was exhausted now, there was no reason for him to hit his head and bleed like this.
Then Zhang Yuan discovered an even worse situation.
His body temperature was dropping, and the remaining life’s vitality was being drained away by the flowing blood, as if his whole being was slowly sinking into an icy cavern, the chilling cold penetrating his skin, seeping into his internal organs.
He would die if this continued!
The sudden realization struck a primal fear into Zhang Yuan’s heart.
It was the unstoppable fear of death!
But how could this happen?
He had already defeated all his enemies, his injuries weren’t too severe, and he had even swallowed an elixir just now.
Why was there no sign of recovery, instead continuously falling into the abyss of death?
As he contemplated, Zhang Yuan’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
He desperately longed to sleep like this, entering eternal relief.
No!
In an instant, a light flashed through Zhang Yuan’s mind, instantly awakening his drowsy consciousness.
Zhang Yuan bit his tongue sharply, mustering all his strength to wake himself up.
He opened the Divine Nest panel.
[Host: Zhang Yuan]

[Divine Nest: Level 6 (7%)]

[Qi and Blood: 24/1720]
[Source Material: 0]
[Luck: 9]
The data displayed in his view shocked Zhang Yuan.
His total Qi and Blood Value, which reached as high as 1720 points, had dwindled to 24 points, already dropping below the safety threshold.
Not only that, just as Zhang Yuan was checking the data, the remaining Qi and Blood Value decreased by another point.
The feeling he had earlier was not an illusion, he had not only failed to recover but was actually entering death.
Zhang Yuan once again bit his tongue fiercely, drawing a trace of strength from the stimulus of the intense pain.
He tried to open the Storage Space to take out and swallow an elixir.
Although taking elixirs continuously would impose a heavy burden on the body, causing considerable troublesome side effects.
But at this point, Zhang Yuan had no other choice.
However, what Zhang Yuan never expected, he couldn’t open the Storage Space at all.
Or more precisely, the current Qi and Blood Value was no longer sufficient for Zhang Yuan to activate the Golden Mouse’s ability!
Could it be that today, he was really going to die here?
Zhang Yuan’s mind went blank.
Absolutely not!
His Divine Soul silently screamed from the depths.
The next moment, a ray of light suddenly shone into Zhang Yuan’s sea of consciousness, instantly revitalizing his spirit.
Zhang Yuan struggled to open his eyes.
Then he saw on the golden plate beside the throne, that group of light still shining brilliantly.
Zhang Yuan’s eyes were instantly lit up by that glow.
On the brink of death, he discovered a sign of life!
Without a moment’s hesitation, Zhang Yuan strained to twist his body, then crawled towards the throne with all his might.
Actually, Zhang Yuan thought of asking the Gray-toothed Lynx for help, but his command received no response.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan could only rely on his remaining bit of strength, crawling inch by inch across the cold, hard ground, feeling his life slipping away bit by bit, filled with despair and helplessness.
He finally reached the front of the steps.
The simple nine-level steps, at this moment, seemed like an insurmountable barrier!
Zhang Yuan tried to climb once.
Then found that he simply didn’t have the strength to climb up.
Yet the throne was right in front of him!
Perhaps this is destiny.
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.
He silently thought in his heart.
If he were to die right now, could he return to his original world?
The world that truly belonged to him?
Maybe he could.
Maybe he couldn’t!
Suddenly, Zhang Yuan felt something bite into his tattered Dragon Carp Armor, lifting him up.
At the same time, he heard a familiar purring sound in his ears.
Gray-toothed Lynx!
At the last, most desperate moment, this big cat actually responded to his call.
Due to the angle, Zhang Yuan couldn’t clearly see the current state of the Gray-toothed Lynx.
But all signs indicated that it too was on the verge of exhaustion, likely having suffered serious injuries.
Zhang Yuan even heard the sound of blood dripping!
However, it was the heavily injured Gray-toothed Lynx that took him step by step up the high steps.
Arriving in front of the throne.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan’s Qi and Blood Value had already dropped below 5 points!
Even a rabbit might be able to kick him to death right there and then.
But at this very moment, Zhang Yuan felt a surge of strength inside him, supporting him to raise his right hand high.
He grabbed at that group of light on the golden plate!
The next moment, the Gray-toothed Lynx let go of its mouth, its lithe body tumbling down from the steps.
While Zhang Yuan felt like he had grabbed a ball of extremely hot flame, a severe burning pain coming from the palm of his hand.
Yet this flame was not an illusion, at its core was a round Elixir Pearl.
As the arm holding the light drooped, Zhang Yuan suddenly opened his mouth wide, putting this bead into his mouth.
Swallowing it directly into his stomach!
He had no idea what this action would bring him.
He completed this move entirely under the guidance of instinct.
Qi and Blood Value: 1.
As Zhang Yuan powerlessly rolled down the nine-level steps, his mind had never been as calm and tranquil as it was at this moment.
Zhang Yuan’s soul was detaching from his body and gazed down at himself lying on the ground, blood flowing from his seven orifices.
This Zhang Yuan lying on the ground was as pale as paper, his eyes dim, his lips extremely dry, dark blood strands emerged on his bare body, and his heartbeat had stopped.
But within his abdominal cavity, a brilliant golden light suddenly exploded!
"Ah~"
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but let out a heart-wrenching scream.
His Divine Soul Consciousness instantly returned to his body, then he experienced unprecedented immense pain!
