Five Frozen Centuries

Panda Novel

"Smells great!"

Wei Huo left with the roasted meat after realizing that the panda did not dare to come out. The giant panda rushed out after Wei Huo had left and gobbled through the food. However, there was too little for the panda that it finished the roasted meat within moments.

Wei Huo knew the reason that Giant Panda was afraid of him. On top of his bear-like strength, it was also because of the scent he emitted.

With level five Qi-Training Skill, Wei Huo had a scent around him that was invisible to the human eye. It was both coercive and courageous, causing invisible mental stresses. Animals were highly sensitive to such things, and that was why they would behave like that subconsciously.

However were they to be accustomed to each other, that feeling of fear would have disappeared eventually.

If he topped it off by seducing it with food, chances of taming it would be much higher.

That was why the aroma of food was everywhere in the jungle today.

Every time Wei Huo provided food for the Giant Panda, a notification would pop up on his Social Feed. "A friendly exchange occurred with the Giant Panda."

In the introduction to the Giant Panda's attributes, Wei Huo also observed the increasingly long message under that panda's Domestication bar. Over a hundred years ago, the relationship between pandas and humans was not bad. It was said that when the Yellow Emperor1 battled Chi You, Chi You was riding a giant panda as he fought against the emperor's army.

Wei Huo took a look at the panda's ridiculous expression and thought that there was a reason Chi You lost the battle back then.

After being fed for a whole day, there were still no signs of the Giant Panda being tamed. Wei Huo said to the panda, "A wise man knows his food. If you can't be tamed, I'll change my target. Anyways, all I wanted was just to complete the quest."

The Giant Panda seemed confused. 'What are you talking about? Can you speak in Panda Language?'

The lazy Giant Panda planned on taking a nap after a filling meal, but Wei Huo was not tired yet. He left the panda behind and walked in the northwest direction alone. Since most creatures nearby had already been hunted, an animal rampage could be triggered anytime soon!

Wei Huo experienced something like this not too long ago. He was hunting in the same area for an extended period of time, and it triggered an animal rampage. All animals in the area were attacking him.

No matter how powerful Wei Huo became, he was no match for an animal rampage. Some of them were venomous as well. The last rampage Wei Huo encountered made him hide in the cave for quite some time, and it still gave him the shivers to this day. He would move from one area to another if he had hunted too frequently in one place.

However, the Giant Panda knew nothing about this. When it woke up the next morning, it was startled.

'Ah! Where did the living being that kept feeding me go?'

The Giant Panda immediately used its strong sense of smell but to no avail. As a veteran of the jungle, Wei Huo did a pretty good job of concealing his scent!

At that moment, a shocking momentum erupted in the northwest direction. It was so strong that all birds flew away in fear, and all animals looked in that direction instantly.

Soon after that, a loud tiger's roar could be heard from that direction. "Roar!"

It was definitely Wei Huo who angered that tiger, but he could not be blamed for that. Wei Huo had to do 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and run for 10km every day.

When he was working out this morning, he accidentally stepped on the soft stomach of an animal while he was jogging.

That animal woke up from its sleep, and it was not happy.

'What's going on? Why are you making noise and not sleeping this early in the morning?'

"Roar! Roar!" The huge tiger roared at Wei Huo, and it seemed like it was complaining. It was obvious that it had just woken up.

Wei Huo was speechless. "…"

'These animals were becoming more and more human!'

That was a giant tiger. It was about three times the size of an adult tiger from a century ago. It looked down at Wei Huo, and it clearly did not understand what species Wei Huo was. However, that tiger was the king of the jungle. It did not fear anything.

Soon after that, it jumped on Wei Huo and attempted to kill him.

It was then kicked to the ground by Wei Huo within the next second.

The tiger was confused. "???"

'What's going on? Who am I? Where am I?'

Wei Huo's body was at a horrifying peak with the daily 100 squats and 10km jogs.

As the limiter was lifted, Wei Huo's fitness could improve without limits. On top of that, he was addicted to Qi Cultivation. The strength of his cells and the energy in them were far greater than any other creature. That was why he was at the Slightly Abnormal rank, and other creatures belonged to the Normal rank.

The tiger was still a little confused. 'What's going on?'

Wei Huo approached the tiger and stared at it. He realized that the tiger was incredibly fat. One would have thought that it was a fat pig in a tiger's skin.

"Roar!" The huge tiger growled. 'What did I do to deserve this?'

Wei Huo slapped the tiger into the ground.

It was clear that the tiger was cursing itself.

Although the reproduction rate of animals increased tenfold, the reproduction rates of carnivores and herbivores were inherently different. Multiplying their propagation rates by ten only made the difference more obvious. The carnivores had been having it good, and they had not needed to worry about rampages of animals. They could have hunted all they wanted.

The Giant Tiger had a wronged expression on its face as it watched Wei Huo being deep in thought. 'Can I go yet?'

Once the tiger moved, Wei Huo stomped on it again.

The tiger was speechless. "…"

'I will not go down without a fight!' The tiger jumped up. 'I'll fight with you!'

Wei Huo took a step back and stared at it in confusion.

The tiger growled. 'Come, let's fight!'

Wei Huo understood what it meant. He said to the tiger, "Violence isn't the only way to solve conflicts. I think we can talk about it amicably. I just want to complete the quest."

'What are you talking about, can you speak in Tiger Language?'

"Roar!" The tiger jumped on him. 'I'm the king of the jungle!'

Bang! Bang! Bang! Wei Huo threw three punches back to back.

Everything turned black before the tiger's eyes.

It fainted.

When the tiger woke up, Wei Huo was roasting meat in front of it. The tiger was startled.

'Am I… being eaten?'

The tiger checked its own body, and let out a sigh of relief when it found itself was still in one piece. Soon after that, the tiger saw a drooling giant panda.

'What's going on?'

Wei Huo was in a good mood. He had planned to tame the tiger, but he did not expect that the quest was completed after the Giant Panda found where he was.

"Beast-taming quest complete. You have been rewarded with Doran's Shield1.

"Doran's Shield possesses a mysterious power. It will constantly restore your HP for as long as you wear it."

Wei Huo was speechless. "…"

His world was getting more and more unreal. How could a shield restore one's HP? Is the shield made out of blood vials?
