After three hours of walking without stopping, I finally reached my home once more.

Yeah, I just rushed back to the cave, no way I was going to keep going with a big corpse around, I was sooner or later attract to the attention of other animals.

Good thing I covered the corpse in a layer of thin ice, stopping it from rotting and also stopping the smell of blood.

Finally reaching the cave, I left the corpse deep into this tiny cave and slowly began to scratch away the ice.

I had already eaten a big Ice Rabbit anyways, so I will leave this for the next few days.

Yeah, just as you thought, I am going to keep cultivating for now, the stronger I get the more opportunities I can have to survive.

Now that I got this sizable meal, I can last like two more days in closed cultivation before I am forced to go hunt once more.

However, why would I scratch the ice out of the corpse if I want to save it?

Because of this!

I quickly break the chest of the wolf, as a small, blue-colored jewel covered on froze blood drop into the floor.

This is a delicious Mana Core!

No way in hell I was going to wait to eat it.

The Rabbit I ate also had one which increased my stats a tiny bit, but maybe this big wolf can be a bit better.

I quickly open my jaws and gobble the entire jewel, it is crunchy and bitter, but I immediately feel new mana flowing through my body.

Ding!
