Chapter 135 - Crimson Asura Realm (IV)

Editor: Kitty

After that, Luo Jian lost count of how many days he stayed in the forest. He could not even remember how many times he killed the wolf. He only knew that there was an increasing number of wounds on his body. He wanted to set fire to the forest, but the wolf revived faster and faster. And at the beginning, the wolf was afraid of the fire, but it was no longer afraid now.

Luo Jian didn’t have time to set fire to the forest, and what he was more afraid of now was that if he lit a fire, would the wolf suddenly pop out again and drag him to die in the sea of fire?

Because time was tight, Luo Jian could only circle around the woods. The wolf came back for him again and again. Already, he was sick of eating all the wolf meat…… No, he had long vomited it out. As time went by, Luo Jian found that his body was getting weaker. His injuries were becoming more serious as well. In the beginning, he could easily kill the wolf, but now, upon seeing it, he could only choose to flee.

The last time the damned wolf came to him again, there was nothing he could do about it. His body had become extremely weak. When Luo Jian realized that he could not escape the wolf, after a moment’s silence, he crafted a simple torch and began to light fires all around the forest.

This patch of forest appeared withered, and with a little spark, it would easily go up in flames. In addition to the crisscross of dense branches and trunks and the withered leaves above him, the fire started to spread to every big tree in the forest; the big trees with cross marks carved by Luo Jian were gradually swallowed up by the fire.

The wolf had fought with Luo Jian many times, and it was not as if Luo Jian had not tried to burn its fur directly with fire until it died due to severe burns. In the beginning, the wolf was afraid of fire. However, since Luo Jian had burned it alive once, it was not afraid of fire again. Even if Luo Jian burned it again, even if it was on fire, it would add several wounds to Luo Jian’s body.

Luo Jian had no other alternatives when dealing with the wolf. He heard that wolves were rather cunning and vengeful creatures, but he never dreamed that it would be that vengeful to such an extent. Also, it had a cheat-like revival speed—Luo Jian had witnessed it. It was just like the time had flowed backward on its body. The wounds on its body would recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, regardless of how Luo Jian chopped it up or burned it into a pile of soot.

The most important thing was that every time the wolf revived, it would return to its original state and be restored to its best mental state. However, Luo Jian could only drag his seriously injured body to avoid its pursuit and attacks. And this time, Luo Jian had a feeling that he might not be able to hold on.

No matter how powerful Luo Jian was, he could not grind the wolf that could revive again and again into dust. Moreover, Luo Jian was not particularly in good condition now. He was unable to not sleep, eat, or drink while pushing himself to fight with the enemy for several days and nights.

But this wolf would be able to accomplish this with its crazy cheat-like revival skill, and it could endlessly create trouble for Luo Jian in this forest.

It was not that Luo Jian had not tried. He tried to dig a deep pit and throw the wolf’s body into it. In this way, it may not be able to climb out even when it was revived. However, it took a long time for him to dig the pit. Before Luo Jian finished digging his pit, the wolf had already got up.

Of course, Luo Jian tried to tie the wolf up, but he did not have a rope. Maybe he could cut a few wooden stakes to nail the darn wolf to the ground, but to make matters worse, the wolf’s strength was so strong that the stake was not able to pin him down. If there were stone stakes here, it might be worth a try, though.

In any case, Luo Jian had used almost every method, but the one who was tired to death was himself. When Luo Jian had a foreboding that the gigantic wolf would attack him, Luo Jian knew that he could not escape. The wound on his shoulder, which was bitten by the wolf a few days ago, had not recovered, and even the flesh around it had begun to rot and turn black, causing his arms to be weak and feeble.

Luo Jian was now facing a desperate situation. The oppressive feeling telling him that he had to survive almost made him unable to lift his head. He made a crazy decision. Even if he might be buried in a sea of fire, he would still set fire to the forest. Then he found an empty plot of land, far away from the dense trees around him, and sat on the ground, waiting for the arrival of the wolf.

The enemy arrived on time. However, this wolf may have been caught by some of the burning trees, and its body had started to burn. However, it was still very punctual and rushed to find Luo Jian. Luo Jian could not help but sigh at just how deeply vengeful this wolf was toward him!

The wolf was about to be burned to its death again. Although it was on fire, it was still alive and kicking. When it rushed out of the fire, it pounced on Luo Jian! Just like a fire wolf!

Luo Jian drew out his weapon and waited. In fact, he now had no strength to retreat and avoid its attack. When he saw the damned wolf rushing over, he thought……

Ah! I may lose my life here.

The fiery wolf lunged forward and bit Luo Jian’s neck. The huge force of the impact made one man and one wolf roll together, and both parties directly rolled into the burning forest. The pain of being bitten on the neck and the feeling of being burnt by the fire were particularly clear. At that moment, Luo Jian did not even think of death. Even at the last moment before death, he tried to hinder the wolf, to push it to perish together with him.

Then, Luo Jian rose back to life.

Luo Jian was revived in a forest that had been turned into scorched ground, where he had died, where he had woken up. Even when he woke up, he felt a little surprised because he really felt that he would have died for a long time and that his soul might have been able to float to hell or heaven.

However, he did not. Luo Jian did not see the soul emissary—the devils, bull’s head, or horse face. His death only made him feel like he had a peaceful and tranquil short nap. Everything was but for a moment even though the pain he had felt before his death was etched into his heart.

When he woke up, the fire in the forest had even died down. And the wolf was gone. Luo Jian was alone here with his clothes burned into soot. So, he stood there naked, cutting in a sorry figure and covering his crotch.

“So I’m able to revive too?” Luo Jian squatted on the ground and talked to himself. His revival made him aware of some things—this strange world, the red sun that hung in the same position in the sky, the dry and withered woods, and the towering cliffs that almost surrounded the skies and the ground. These cliffs blocked the valley, and this became much like a secret chamber.

Luo Jian was stunned for a while. He stood up and prepared to find something to hide his shame. But when he got up, he found that his clothes had also ‘revived’! It just appeared out of thin air and recovered instantly. Even the gap that was created when Luo Jian had torn a strip from his clothes to wrap his wound up was restored!

“Can clothes be restored?” Luo Jian looked at his dark grey and blue prison uniform. After thinking about it, he took a look at the trees around him: “If the clothes can be restored, then it should also pose no problem for this forest to recover.”

Because of the large area of burn marks, the recovery of the forest may be slower. But it did not matter because now, all the trees blocking Luo Jian’s way were burned completely, and what he could see became broader! Because this patch of forest was not really big, and it was at least much smaller than the lush and dense forest in front of him.

There was also a stream flowing between the big forest and the small forest. Standing in Luo Jian’s position, one could see the water reflecting the light of the red sun, causing the water in the stream to look a blood-red color, much like bloody water.

Luo Jian ran towards the stream. It seemed that it was not far away, but there was still a certain distance to cover. However, he soon ran out of that patch of forest. The forest that kept him circling around could no longer stop him from moving ahead, and as for the troublesome wolf that always sought trouble with him, oh! To the hell with it!

Luo Jian’s mood suddenly became a little more cheerful.

Luo Jian ran to the side of the stream. The stream was not wide, and there was not much water flowing in it. The deepest parts of the water merely covered the lower portion of Luo Jian’s leg. Luo Jian first washed his face, and such a refreshing and cool feeling remained fresh in his memories. The water also resolved Luo Jian’s lingering thirst and moistened his dry lips.

The only thing that Luo Jian felt a little regretful about was that there was not even one fish in the stream, which was so clear he could see the bottom.

After that, Luo Jian abandoned the stream and began to rush forward into the forest. Because he did not know where he should head, he planned to head toward somewhere closer to the water source. When he came to a relatively open grassland, he suddenly found that there were two…… monster-like people fighting!

There were two monsters fighting!

Luo Jian thought that his brain may not be able to accept so much hard-to-digest information for a moment. However, it may have been because of the wolf who had constantly revived and sought trouble with him again and again, but Luo Jian was expressionless now. He squatted quietly in the grass and began to pay attention to the two monsters who were fighting.

These two monsters were quite advanced. One was a moving, human skeleton. Moreover, it was still wearing the soldier’s armor of the Warring States period and holding a long spear in its hand. And when it swung the spear, it looked particularly imposing. If not for what was under its helmet, a bony face with empty eye sockets, Luo Jian would think that this fool was definitely an ancient general previously.

The other monster was more like a mythical monster, with a human’s face but a snake’s body, or rather, a monster with a snake’s brain but a human’s face. The face was particularly terrifying, having slender eyes, teeth akin to a poisonous snake, and green skin.

The two monsters fought soundlessly. The skeleton was not expected to speak, and the monster with the snake body and snake head merely spit out sounds it wanted to convey from time to time. Its tongue was very long, and it had the forked tongue of snakes.

Then, Luo Jian squatted there for a long time while the two monsters fought there for a while. Luo Jian got a little impatient when he found that the way they fought felt like they were playing tricks on each other. They were merely exchanging moves. There was no such atmosphere where the two parties could not coexist and one must die.

After watching their fight, Luo Jian frowned. Inwardly, he could not help but start to think, Where the hell is this place?

After watching for a long while, Luo Jian got impatient and decided to bypass the two weird fellas and move on. But just as he gave up and was preparing to leave, the two monsters in front of him stopped suddenly. The snake head guy actually opened its mouth and spoke standard Mandarin.

“The one who has been squatting over there, are you new?”

Luo Jian was surprised by the implied meaning behind this sentence. He could not help but stand up. Although neither of them were human and they appeared to be rather rugged, this was the first time that Luo Jian met a creature who was able to communicate with him in this damned place.

So Luo Jian asked, “Do you know where this is?”

The monster with the snake head and body tilted the tip of its tail. It seemed to turn its head and was communicating with the skeleton momentarily. The skeleton could not speak. The skeleton used its hand to gesticulate. Then the monster with the snake head and body said, “Indeed, you’re new to this place, hiss…… I haven’t seen a person new to here for a long time.”

“What do you mean by person new to here?” Luo Jian did not know what he meant, so he was nervous and urgently required someone to tell him something. He wanted to know where he was.

“Hiss…… Newcomer, welcome to Asura Realm—this is Crimson Asura Realm, a secret chamber created by players,” the monster with the head of a snake explained to Luo Jian. The monster could not help speaking like a snake, which was why it always made strange sounds.

However, the words said by the other party made Luo Jian feel at a loss. He became more confused as he asked, “The secret chamber…? What is a secret chamber?”

“Hiss…… You’re not kidding, are you? You’re a newbie on top of being a newcomer? Why don’t you even know what a secret chamber is?” The snake was also startled by Luo Jian, and it shook the tip of its tail suspiciously.
