<h4>Chapter 133 - Crimson Asura Realm (II)</h4>
Editor: Kitty
There was a red sun hanging in the sky.
It was the kind of thing that could only be seen directly when the sun was setting...... a blood-red sun.
The sun almost dyed the surrounding sky and clouds a bloody red. The sunlight was sttered from a high point onto the earth, prating through mountains and forests and colouring everything that could be seen in Luo Jian’s sight, including the beast in front of him—no, it was a monster.
This was a huge monster, having the outer appearance of a wolf. It had sharp teeth and ws, but its stature was too big. Have you ever seen a wolf bigger than a bear? There was one in front of Luo Jian.
The wolf’s fur was dark grey, but it was also stered with ayer of red under the blood-red setting sun. Its eyes were also red. Its vertical pupil, much like a typical beast, showed no emotions. It merely looked at Luo Jian hungrily.
Its mouth and hair were dripping with Luo Jian’s blood. This damned monster was extremely hungry, and it had been too long since itst had a meal, so when it saw Luo Jian lying on the ground, it disregarded whether Luo Jian was dead or alive. If what was in front of him was ptable, it would consume it.
Luo Jian did not want to be devoured alive, but he was helpless as well because his body was not putting in an effort; he still remained immobile no matter how Luo Jian pressured his nerves inwardly. He roared —Move! Move it!
Luo Jian still did not move. His body seemed to be disconnected from his soul, and he could notmand his body at all. He could only lie there helplessly and in pain. A piece of meat had been bitten off his shoulder by the monster, but the monster would not leave him just like that. It would continue to open its mouth and eat Luo Jian, mouthful by mouthful, and send the parts of him into its stomach!
He was in an indescribably terrible situation!
Luo Jian was staring at the huge wolf, whose sharp white teeth were also dripping with blood, and it smelled disgusting when it came close. The monster was sniffing Luo Jian with his nose, as if he was trying to figure out where to put its mouth down. Also, the wolf was obviously interested in Luo Jian’s head. To be exact, it was interested in Luo Jian’s eyes, which were wide open, and his eyeballs that would asionally move slightly.
The wolf sniffed Luo Jian’s head and even licked his face with its rough tongue. Its sticky, wet, and smelly saliva moistened the entirety of Luo Jian’s face. At that moment, Luo Jian was disgusted. He felt his whole body shake. Even the severe pain by his shoulder and arm could not make him ignore the strong nauseous feeling!
However, it seemed that because of his nausea, Luo Jian suddenly felt that his body was regaining consciousness!
The cells of his whole body seemed to be active at this moment, the muscles all over his body seemed to be twitching, and the pain of being bitten on his shoulder became more intense! But Luo Jian found that he could move, and his bones seemed to creak! When the disgusting wolf opened its mouth to bite off Luo Jian’s head, he could finally reach out and smash his fist on the wolf’s chin!
But the wolf’s bones were very hard. When Luo Jian’s fist met its chin, his hand felt awfully painful instead. The wolf merely shook its head as it stared at Luo Jian, seemingly puzzled. Why did the food that was lying down moments ago suddenly jump up and hit it?
But the wolf did not have the IQ to think so much. Since the food that had already been sent to its mouth wanted to escape, it would kill him and continue to eat him.
Therefore, the huge wolf gazed at Luo Jian for a second and suddenly jumped up hurriedly and rushed towards him. When wolves attack their prey, they would first bite the prey’s neck, therefore, this wolf’s target was also Luo Jian’s neck.
Luo Jian focused his attention on the huge and ferocious mouth and ws of the wolf. What he thought at that moment was not to run away but to fight back, but he had no weapons in his hands.
Where’s my weapon? My weapon—After Luo Jian thought about it inwardly, in the next second, a short knife appeared in his hand. Just as the wolf was about to chomp on Luo Jian’s head, Luo Jian waved his short knife, and the knife stabbed into the wolf’s neck instead.
After exchanging several moves, the battle was over, and Luo Jian was victorious. After targeting the wolf’s neck and head, Luo Jian stabbed it several times before being able to kill itpletely. He was surprised that the wolf was so adamant in clinging onto its life, but what Luo Jian didn’t understand was...... Why did he dare to face such a huge and strange creature and even keep his calm in order to be victorious against it?
“Who was I previously? What happened?” Luo Jian squatted next to the body of the giant wolf in a trance. In fact, his memories were now in chaos, and he could hardly remember anything. He could only remember that he seemed to be an ordinary sryman. He had gone to find his parents, who he had not seen for ages. His parents were at his uncle’s house, so he temporarily decided to live at his uncle’s house......
And after that? What had happened after that?
Luo Jian raised his head nkly and gazed at what was around him. He began to look around and observe the surrounding environment.
This appeared to be a valley surrounded by cliffs, and the cliffs formed a circr arrangement, encircling the valley. And this valley was extremely huge. At first nce, it could be seen that there was lush forestry towards the bottom of the valley. Luo Jian was now at the edge of the valley. He was standing on a huge rock that protruded out in the middle of a cliff, and underneath the rock was a patch of forest.
Luo Jian felt that this bizarre terrain was simply indescribable because the cliffs surrounding the valley appeared like peaks that ascended into the clouds. When Luo Jian raised his head, he felt like a frog sitting in a well that was gazing into the sky. It gave him the feeling that he would not be able to jump out of it even if he wanted to.
Luo Jian gazed at the sky in silence momentarily, but the sharp pain on his shoulder pulled him back to his senses. He lowered his head to look at his shoulder that was bitten by the damned wolf. When he felt the pain due to his flesh wound, he frowned slightly. The wound created by the wolf was too deep. His bones were exposed, and blood was pouring out continuously. Luo Jian’s entire arm was covered with blood.
Luo Jian gnashed his teeth and pulled a piece of cloth from his clothes. He was now wearing a strange suit in dark greyish-blue, and it looked like a prison uniform. There was an embroidered name card on his chest, and on it was engraved a string of letters. However, the metal name card seemed to be rusty, causing the letters engraved on the card to be blurred; therefore, Luo Jian also did not pay heed to it.
Luo Jian bandaged his wound with a cloth strip. It was very painful, so he bared his teeth in pain, but he did not stop moving. The wound on his shoulder was very serious, and it would be too risky to not deal with it. If it became infected, he would directly die.
Now, no matter what happened next, Luo Jian must understand that he could not stay here any longer. He must move on through the forest, through the valley. He needed to find someone, to find a doctor, or to eat something or drink some water. In short, Luo Jian knew that he had to survive.
But when he descended from the rock and entered the patch of forest beneath, after a few hours, he suddenly felt that his current predicament had turned for the worse.
He had actually lost his way. When he entered the forest, he used a knife to carve a cross mark on the tree trunk to trace where he went. However, after walking for a long time and when his senses returned to him, he saw the big tree trunk with the cross mark again. Luo Jian felt his heart be slightly chilled.
What the hell was this ce?!
Luo Jian was thirsty and hungry. After walking in circles around the woods, he did not find any sources of water or even any living creatures. In front of Luo Jian, there was nothing else besides trees, and these trees looked very dry. The leaves were not luxuriant, but there were many branches. When he raised his head upwards, he could see dense tree branches and trunks on top of him.
The soil was also very dry, and the ground was very hard. Luo Jian squatted on the ground and touched the dust with his hand. There waspletely no moisture to it. There were few weeds sparsely nted in the ground, not to mention the rare presence of insects. Luo Jian squatted there for a long time, and asionally there were only a few dry and shapeless leaves on the ground wafting by. To conclude, this patch of forest was very dested.
The trees appeared to be no different from dying.
Luo Jian squatted on the ground, feeling a little ufortable, and due to theck of water, his lips were very dry, so he picked a de of grass and sent it into his mouth to chew. Grass was everywhere, and it looked very safe. He assumed that it should not be poisonous. However, the grass leaves were also very dry. Luo Jian could not feel any moisture from them at all, so he had to spit out the dry leaves again.
After that, Luo Jian wandered in the woods for a long time. He kept changing the direction he walked in, but he would return to the big tree with the cross mark every time. Luo Jian even tried to go back to the rock to find the gigantic wolf that had been stabbed by him. However, Luo Jian was frightened to find that when he saw where the rock was and walked in the direction of the rock, after regaining his senses, he was back at the side of the big tree with a cross mark.
“Do you have a grudge against me? Because I carved a mark on you?” Luo Jian could only stand beside the big tree and talk to himself.
The tree did not answer him. It just stood there quietly. Its branches were very dense. Like other trees, it had few leaves. It was neither too tall nor too short. The trunk was a little thick and rough to the touch.
Luo Jian stroked the tree trunk with his hand. He felt helpless because he could not find the way out. Already, he had been wandering inside the forest for hours, and the red sun was still hanging on the sky as blood-red sun rays spilled all over the world.
Luo Jian stood beside the tree for an extremely long period, but he could not think of a way to get out of here. He could only sit beside the tree with his back towards it. Luo Jian felt a little tired. The wound on his shoulder was very painful, causing him to feel a little numb. Fortunately, the wound was no longer bleeding. Luo Jian closed his eyes and decided to have a good rest. Thereupon, he forced himself to enter a shallow sleep.
But after sleeping for a long time, Luo Jian heard footsteps again.
The sound of footsteps was as light and careful as ever, and it did not sound like a human’s footsteps. Luo Jian’s senses remained sharp. Soon, he was awakened by the footsteps. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the source of the sound. Then, Luo Jian’s eyes widened in surprise!
He saw the huge wolf again!
The wolf stood in the bush not far from Luo Jian, turned its huge head, and stared at him with its scarlet eyes, appearing cold and murderous.
It was the huge wolf! And it was definitely the one that Luo Jian stabbed previously because Luo Jian remembered that there is a tuft of white hair on the wolf’s neck, and the white tuft was no different from the wolf he saw before!
What was going on? Wasn’t it dead?! Luo Jian jerked up nimbly and half-squatted on the ground as he drew his knife. Speaking of which, his weapon was very strange. He did not even know where he ced his weapon, but as long as he thought about it, the knife would appear out of thin air.
But now, Luo Jian had no time to deliberate about this strange knife because the wolf once again pounced on him. Because of his hunger and fatigue, Luo Jian’s physical response had be much more sluggish, and the current situation posed much trouble for Luo Jian if he had to face this wolf.
However, Luo Jian still felt that this was an opportunity.
At least if he killed this wolf, Luo Jian would have some wolf meat to eat and wolf blood to drink.
