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

Oh, that's right, Lu Yuan now has contact with human civilization...

He could have shown off every day, enjoying the happiness of our great ancestors!

Teaching, learning, and resolving doubts is quite delightful, never mind interests or benefits. Self-actualization is the highest need in Maslow's hierarchy of needs!

But that donkey-headed monster destroyed everything!

Lu Yuan was livid with rage, even the Extraordinary Fire in his mind blazed fiercely.

There was no turning back now, even if he retreated, where could he possibly escape to?

He took a deep breath and yelled, "Great, you're the one who provoked me first!"

He had finally reached the shelter 10 kilometers away and was searching for some information in the data center at top speed.

Soon, he flipped through an ancient cabinet and found a thick book.

It contained the maps of what once were cities and the structural diagrams of some main buildings...

Time had transformed the world dramatically, and most of the buildings had been buried in the earth, but the layout of many buildings remained unchanged.

According to the map, the large air-raid shelters of Fire Lizard Valley were located in the central area of the city, connected to a sprawling subway system.

In that moment, his brain cells were hyperactive, quickly memorizing the distribution of several subway station entrances and exits.

The shelters in the valley were actually quite extensive; apart of them lay within the miasma of the donkey-headed monster, but some were located just outside it.

"This terrain is excellent—carefully chosen as my main battlefield, and perhaps it will become my grave..."

"If I die, let all these stories be as if they never happened."

Immediately after, Lu Yuan had a hearty meal, bestowing upon himself a buff of "Vitality."

He meticulously prepared a number of high-temperature torches.

These torches were made from lizard fuel crystals and were extremely resistant to burning.

He then reorganized his Storage Space, dumping out all his clothes and pants, and stuffed most of the torches into the Storage Space.

Storage Space could not carry living consciousness, true, but it could carry any material object, whether it was a lit torch or a moving dart.

"I am someone who possesses five Divine Skills... Although they are all support abilities, who says support abilities can't fight?"

Lu Yuan looked towards the setting sun in the distance.

Now, inside his Storage Space, there was a sea of fire!

Because time within the Storage Space flowed almost to zero, the raging fire appeared as a static image.

Lu Yuan then lit a few fire pits, placing several metal pieces on top.

The flames burned fiercely, emitting a high temperature of three thousand degrees Celsius.

Soon, the entire iron basin melted into molten steel.

He touched the basin lightly with his finger.

With a "whoosh," a blister immediately formed on his fingertip from the burn.

This molten steel was also taken into the Storage Space, freezing in place like a photograph.

"It must be touched physically to be taken into Storage Space; if only I could pack things with my mind," Lu Yuan said, cooling his burned finger with cold water and slowly healing the wound with the "Extraordinary Spark."

Finally, he looked at the metal ball, which served as the communicator with humans.

The Storage Space was filled with flames, and although time flowed almost to zero, it wasn't quite zero.

Lu Yuan worried that if he stored the metal ball inside, it might be damaged by the high temperature.

Moreover, he had to conceal his Divine Skill in front of the donkey-headed monster.

"This thing cannot be stored in Storage Space," he concluded.

So, he simply hoisted the metal ball with a pulley and placed it on a small cart, pushing it along slowly. With his current physique, it wasn't very laborious.

"By recording the battle with it, even if I die, I can still give humanity one last lesson... Sigh, let's go with that."

After making all these preparations, Lu Yuan set off again.

The setting sun cast a slanted light, on what should've been an uneventful day, warm with the melting snow of early spring, yet an intangible menace was looming.

The gentle breeze rustled the ancient trees.

Occasionally, withered yellow leaves fell in the wind, fluttering like butterflies.

These leaves had lasted through the winter, only to finally witness the brilliance of spring.

Listening to the "clack clack" of the tires against the stones, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that his mindset had undergone a subtle change.

The incomparable fear and anger had transformed into a still lake with no ripples, like a mirror.

He was about to battle the unknown.

Old Wolf, on the other hand, was relatively anxious. It remembered its mate and pups, its fur standing on end. However, it was also terrified of the donkey-headed monster, so much so that it paced back and forth between anxiety and panic.

This is where wolves fall short compared to humans.

Once humans make a decision, they simply have to act on it.

The strength of humans lies in their defiance.

But wolves hesitate and falter.

Of course, if wolves were stronger than humans, Lu Yuan would be calling it "Brother Wolfman."

"Brother, please stop a moment, this is the place," he said.

"Ao?" Brother Lang Mie wagged his tail.

"Don't shout so loudly. Charging straight into that canyon, in such a spacious place, is that not seeking death?"

"There's a small passage here, we can take the shortcut."

Lu Yuan, holding a Superior Level dagger, gently slashed at a thick vine.

Whoosh!

The bronze-colored dagger, as if inserted into a block of tofu, penetrated the vine with almost no resistance, splattering milky juice.

After chopping through these vines, the wall behind revealed a structure similar to a subway entrance.

Large air-raid shelters, extensive and interconnected, linking various subway stations.

And here was one of the subway entrances.

Downwards lay pitch-black stairs.

When illuminated by light, a large swarm of bats flew out of the subway entrance with a fluttering noise.

Lu Yuan moved a few obstructing rocks and peered inside.

As the most important refuge of a civilization, the air-raid shelter was indeed no shoddy project; its structure was largely preserved.

Centuries had passed, and the interior of the subway station had become a small ecosystem. The damp walls were covered with moss, snails and slugs were everywhere, insects flew about, and droppings of rats, weasels, and bats could be seen all over.

There might even be some mutants of relatively high strength, right?

Lu Yuan did not want to waste energy here. He exuded his own aura, and with the Fire Lizard Suit and Spider Shield, he could intimidate most creatures.

He lightly pushed that metal ball.

Rolling down a smooth path specially designed for pushing carts, the ball clattered away.

"As a warrior who generously faces death, even bringing a camera and seriously live streaming before dying."

Lu Yuan chuckled at himself and slowly walked into the cave.

All of a sudden, he noticed a concrete statue carved on the wall of the subway station.

On the statue, three dog-headed humans, one large, one medium, one small, were raising their hands with smiles on their faces, as if envisioning a beautiful future.

But a large crack on the wall made it look as if the three members of the Meida Civilization had been cut in half...

Tragedies are always more memorable than comedies.

Tragedy, like the lion on the savanna, serves as a reminder to the sheep that graze blindly.

On a whim, Lu Yuan picked up a piece of charcoal and wrote in bold and powerful calligraphy on the wall: "Humanity's 18th civilization, Lu Yuan, thanks, Meida Civilization!"

He indeed needed to thank the Meida Civilization.

Without this relic, he would not have survived to this day.

"But now the 18th human civilization is also in danger, so let this be the last mark I leave."

The statue remained silent, simply watching quietly, just as it had witnessed the decline of the Meida Civilization. It had witnessed everything and did not care to witness it one more time.

Lu Yuan reattached the metal ball to the cart and slowly walked along the subway tracks towards Fire Lizard Canyon.

The dilapidated city rails and the aluminum alloy cabins had become large rat nests. Pairs of mung bean eyes hid in the shadows, watching Lu Yuan as he passed.

There were some collapsed sections in the subway tunnel, but fortunately, it was not completely blocked.

Lu Yuan, carrying a torch, continued onwards for half an hour.

The narrow tunnel suddenly opened up, and the large air-raid shelter appeared.

Lu Yuan used the torch's high-temperature flames to burn through a security door's lock and pushed it open with a heavy shove.

The air was thick with dust, as if the years had settled there, temporarily leaving traces of the past in the atmosphere.

A few hundred meters further, he encountered a hazy layer of miasma...

Or rather, it wasn't exactly miasma but an idealist field, where the light mysteriously darkened.

Silent, eerie, filled with danger...

The battleground for the duel lay just ahead.

Old Wolf seemed a bit cowered by that dark "domain."

Lu Yuan, however, fell into a cold silence.

He first observed the surrounding terrain, pondering over battle strategies in his mind.

He kept thinking, how could he kill an entity that presumably possessed intelligence and whose combat strength was higher than his own?

Traps, only traps.

It didn't take long for Lu Yuan to find a sturdy warehouse nearby.

The floor and walls were made of high-strength reinforced concrete, and in the corner, there was a dust-covered gold brick.

He finally understood why the Fire Lizard had such a large quantity of gold bricks; they had come from this very vault...

"The vault is almost sealed, without even a vent; truly a perfect tomb."

Lu Yuan pushed. The door was extremely thick, a heavy metal door that probably weighed several tons.

Below the door were some wheels. The pulleys were rusted, and when pushed forcefully, they emitted a horrifying screech.

So, he mustered all his strength and pushed the door just enough to leave a gap of one body's width.

Once this heavy door closed, reopening it would be nearly impossible.

"This is a good place... perfect for a fire attack," Lu Yuan's eyes lit up with excitement.

Now the task was how to lure that Donkey-headed Monster inside.
