Chapter 359 (Massage Chair Extra - )

That was the location of a different village, slightly far from here, it was precisely because the other party made zero effort to conceal their cultivation aura, even releasing it arrogantly, that Adam was able to sense it from such a distance.

But wasn’t this a place where spiritual energy couldn’t be used? Why was that person releasing their cultivation base so brazenly? Could it be that it wasn’t everyone who was restricted from using spiritual energy? Then what kind of conditions had to be met?

To be powerful and completely undisguised meant this person didn’t care in the slightest if anyone in this world could pose a threat to them, either that person’s strength was terrifyingly overwhelming, or there was simply no one in this world capable of harming them.

However, the strength of that aura was just average, not even reaching the Deity Realm, therefore, the first possibility could be ruled out, that meant it was highly likely the latter.

Since no one in this world could harm them, the vast majority of people here still couldn’t use spiritual energy, moreover, he hadn’t heard a single word about cultivation from the teenagers, which suggested that existences like that person were a small minority.

So was releasing that aura meant to make it easier for companions to recognize them?

Adam thought for a moment and decided it was best to stay put, he didn’t want to alert the snake in the grass.

That powerful aura was probably the emissary the villagers had mentioned, this proved that at the top echelon of this world, powerful cultivators still ruled, or at least people capable of using spiritual energy existed.

Adam slowly walked back to the collapsed house, continuing his disguise as a vagrant, and curled up in a corner.

In the village.

Cyrus was carried all the way to the village chief’s residence, the small village didn’t have a dedicated doctor, only the village chief knew a bit of medicine, though just a barefoot doctor, he could handle minor ailments.

The village chief, Oberon, was busy when the youths came running in, just as he was about to speak, the girl’s voice rang out first.

"Dad, quick, save Cyrus! He was bitten by a poisonous snake!"

Oberon’s aged pupils instantly dilated. "What kind of snake? Quick, help him onto the bed."

"Its head was pointy, and its body looked brownish."

"Yeah, it looked terrifying." The two boys placed Cyrus on the bed, fear still in their eyes.

A pointy head? Oberon’s heart sank, this sounded like a Five-Step Snake.

"Let me see the wound." he said hurriedly.

"Dad, it’s on his thigh!"

Oberon immediately pulled down Cyrus’s pants, discovering the wound was swollen, blackened, and blistering. His heart plummeted to rock bottom.

He sighed heavily and pulled the pants back up. "Poor child, he can’t be saved."

"See, I told you, my uncle died exactly like this, he couldn’t be saved!" The boy slumped onto the ground, eyes full of dread.

"Sigh, Cyrus, so pitiful, passing away without ever having eaten a full meal in his life!" The other boy looked at Cyrus with sorrow.

"No, no, dad, there must be a way, right?" Elira shook her head, unwilling to believe her father.

"Elira, the snake that bit Cyrus is called a Five-Step Snake, normally, when an ordinary person is bitten, they die within five steps, that Cyrus held on until here is already quite a feat!" Oberon sighed, looking at the boy with unbearable pity.

"Poor child, no parents and dying so young, I’ll go prepare his funeral arrangements!"

Oberon turned and walked outside.

The two boys and the girl looked at unconscious Cyrus on the bed, eyes filled with heaviness and sorrow, they bickered often, but they had grown up together, the bonds ran deep.

"Cyrus, have a good journey, I’ll take good care of Elira, I’ll be going first!" One boy patted Cyrus’s arm with a sigh.

"Me too, in the next life, I’ll let you have Elira, have a good journey in this one!" The other echoed.

Two cries of pain rang out as both their heads were smacked by the girl.

"What time is it to be saying such things? If you’re going to leave, then leave!" She retracted her hand, a misty layer formed in her eyes, her mind couldn’t help but recall how this guy had traded his only steamed bun of the day with someone just to get a pretty flower, then cheerfully gifted it to her.

This guy, who could jump around energetically even after starving a whole day, was now lying motionless on the bed.

Having been smacked, the two boys didn’t dare say more.

"Sigh, Cyrus, here’s this for you, as your big bro, I’ve done all I can!" One boy took out half a steamed bun from his shirt and placed it on Cyrus’s chest.

"For you to eat on the road down there, don’t be polite!"

He turned to leave, he didn’t dare watch a person die in front of him.

However, what none of them noticed was that Cyrus’s finger twitched slightly.

After one boy left, the other stepped forward.

"Cyrus, I don’t have steamed buns, haven’t you always wanted my wooden sword? It’s yours now, you have to protect yourself down there, I’m going too!" He reluctantly pulled out a small wooden sword from behind his back and placed it on Cyrus’s chest, then he walked toward the door with his head down.

Elira bit her lip, she didn’t know what to do, the feeling of utter powerlessness made her incredibly uncomfortable.

The village was very poor, so poor that eating three meals a day was a luxury for many, and Cyrus’s life was even harder, his parents had passed away when he was very young.

Without parents, his relatives and neighbors didn’t have the means to take him in either, so from a young age, he was completely alone.

When he was hungry, he drank water, ate tree bark, wild grass, he had eaten everything, finally, after enduring for so long, the boy grew a bit older and could earn food by helping others with their work.
