Chapter 11: Back to the primordial age
Translator: Cold Love
Western calendar Year 2118, 13 May. Lunar calendar, 9 May; Almanac date: Immense luck.
Today is the 5th night that Niu Xu had traveled back from the primordial age. At this time, he stayed in his small room after tightly shutting the doors and windows. Actually, he discovered that the jade pendant was filled with energy on the day of the 4th morning. This meant that as long as he was willing to, he could travel back to the primordial age anytime he wants.
There were 2 reasons as to why he did not choose to travel back immediately: The first was that Niu Xu thought that such an important day should be done on an auspicious date, so that his ancestors would bless his journey with smoothness.
If this type of thing was to be told in public, nobody would believe that this 16 year old youth was even more superstitious than some old dudes. If those self-proclaimed 'elite of the sea turtle' caught wind of this, they would definitely condemn Niu Xu, the youth who had been heavily poisoned by Feudalism, on the internet.
However, Niu Xu did not think this way. Based on his understanding, he respected and offered animal sacrifices to his ancestors as he loved some of the good things that they left behind.
Even though many people placed much emphasis on the scientific reasoning in eating, which included having a good breakfast, followed by a full lunch and finally eating a little less at night, Niu Xu still stubbornly placed his dinner at one of the most important meals of the day, if possible, he would try his best to make it a little more plentiful.
Secondly, the main thing was that the amount of balance in his account was too little. In order to buy a wide variety of resources, Niu Xu racked his brains for the past few days; In his free time during the past few days, Niu Xu visited all of the supermarkets in Twin Tower district so as to find the things he wanted under the discounted label.
The youth who has experienced the first awakening of love had received date invites from tens of girls during the past few days. However, the miserable thing was that he really had no time and money to watch the legendary movie which was screened in the evenings.
Only God knows, when Niu Xu indifferently rejected the junior sisters, his heart contained a pain that no one could understand.
The only good thing was that the endurance was worth it. At this time, in front Niu Xu was a worn out and large sized military backpack. The things were fully crammed into the backpack, the things inside weighed more than 50 kg, which were the fruits of these few days' labour.
Inside this backpack was a total of 20 daily items. In order not to attract unnecessary attention, Niu Xu planned ahead and changed the plastic packaging of the goods into cow skin plastic bags.
Furthermore, he attached a large steel pan onto his backpack, which made him looked like a miserable cook from the artillery squad in an old movie; Carrying a black pan while listening to other people firing off shots, an unlucky guy in a nutshell.
Other than that, Niu Xu also went to the Chinese medicine center to beg for some medicine that was about to expire. In his plan, he would assume 2 identities in front of the primitives, a merchant and a wandering doctor, which were quite welcomed by them,
All these things had used up all of the money in his account, if he did not have any harvest in this trip to the primordial age, then Niu Xu would have to face the danger of starvation. However, while carrying the heavy backpack, the youth was full of mettle, he felt that he was carrying a backpack filled with '4 of a kind', which would allow him to return from a rewarding journey.
In the room, Niu Xu faced the memorial tablets of his ancestors and the portrait of his deceased grandfather, and sincerely bowed. With a face of resolution, Niu Xu channeled his thoughts of dimensional travelling into the jade pendant.
Glowing with an eerie dark light, the tunnel silently appeared in Niu Xu's room. Although this was not his first time seeing this, Niu Xu felt that the tunnel had an indescribable bewitching sense of beauty.
"The dreary wind, ah, the freezing cold water. The warrior ventures, ah, never reappearing," The youth sang a solemn and stirring old folk song. With steady steps, he sauntered towards the tunnel.
In an instant, Niu Xu felt that he was saying something inauspicious and ruthlessly slapped himself on the mouth. He decided to redo again and softly roared, "Drunk on a beauty's thigh, waking up with the authority of the whole world in one's palm. Youth, fight on!"
After saying that, he stepped into the tunnel without looking back…
After a flash of blinding light, Niu Xu knew that he was in a different world.
This was because when he breathed in, the air was filled with moisture and freshness, which was impossible to find in any city bases in his previous world.
However, the freshness of the air caused Niu Xu to realize something was not right as he did not smell the small primitive village's superior grade pungent air. This meant that he was not teleported to the previous hut, but instead an unknown only-ghost-knows-where place.
After opening his eyes, the first thing Niu Xu did get into a half-crouch position and at the same time, the large pan acted as a shield in front of him. After he finished doing all this, it was then did Niu Xu carefully surveyed his surroundings.
Currently, he was in a dense primitive forest, the tall surrounding trees were so large that not even a person could completely hugged it and the canopy was very thick. The time now should be morning, but the intense sunlight that could pass through the dense canopy was evidently not enough.
However, even under the the conditions of poor sunlight, the ground was filled with plenty of lush weeds and shrubs, which were taller than Niu Xu's waist. It was impossible to walk if the path was not cleared as who knew if there might be some poisonous snakes in them.
However, there was something to rejoice about. In the middle of the shrubs, Niu Xu discovered a cleared-out path which was either created by humans or animals, causing Niu Xu to save the trouble.
After doing a 360° observation, he discovered that the faint roars of beasts could be heard from the surroundings. However, after he did not see anything that could threaten him in his field of vision, Niu Xu finally let out a breath of relief. At this moment, he was pondering on why he would come here and not to the previous hut.
After thinking long and hard, Niu Xu guessed that there could only be one possibility: That is every time he travel to the primordial age, he would appear at the same place.
As for travelling back, he would return to where he came from. Although Niu Xu did not have any proof, he was sure that he was around 80% to 90% correct.
As for the primitive tribe that he encountered, it should be around here logically speaking. If not, before the primitives picked him up the previous time, he would have long been eaten by beasts such that even his bones were not left behind…
To prove this point, and at the same time leave this dangerous forest, Niu Xu followed the path in between the shrubs, heading towards a higher ground. He remembered that the primitive village should be situated on the top of a small hill.
With a large pan in his right hand and a butcher knife in his left, Niu Xu carefully advanced forward. Who knew if he had chosen such an auspicious day, his luck was definitely over the roof.
The ferocious beasts in the surrounding area had long been chased away by the primitives.
In short, Niu Xu saw rabbits that were as big as the Tibetan Mastiff, small birds that were as large as an eagle and also, a cobra that was as huge as a water barrel along the way. Although he was greatly frightened, he saw a small village on top of a hill appeared in front of his eyes after around 30 minutes.
