Chapter 378: Wasteland

Translator: Lonelytree

After being pulled into the painting by a mysterious force, Gu Jun started to fall All his eyes could see was shi+fting lights and flitting shadows It felt similar to when he crossed over to Dreamlands but… not quite the sa into hiether in anxiety and nervousness Blood streah his capillaries and his head nue on his stomach and shoulder threatened to tear open…

Gu Jun had no idea how long he was suspended in this state It felt like both a second and a lifetiround That soht dilated his pupils He narrowed his eyes as he studied around The sun was blazing through the barely clouded sky It looked to be around noon He stood on a barren wasteland that stretched down the horizon The ground was parched and cracked There was no sign of any vegetation The desolateness of his area helped Gu Jun snap quickly into attention Pressing against the ground, he gently stood up The ground was coh, a result from a lack of water Gu Jun had been to many barren places in his lifetimes, like the plains and desert at Drea tin of life, not even rocks and pebbles There was only cracked dry earth “Where the hell am I?”

‘Inside Dirty-minded Yu’s watercolor? No, it feltas aht caht and air pressure did not bring hi, he felt a familiarity with the place The only difference was the air here was extreen density He took in several deep breaths but all it did was to sear through his lungs

Gu Jun stopped to examine his wounds Thankfully the wounds did not tear Gu Jun decided it was best to e the nautical direction but it did not seem to have much point when every direction yielded the same infecundity Everywhere he looked, barrenness stared back at him

“Is anyone here?” Gu Jun said Before he understood the situation, he did not dare screa that sonal You drew ot no response other than the hot wind The sun baked the ground Just standing there for ood for his physical condition for the heat would cause his fresh wounds to inflame He removed his muddied jacket and opened his backpack There was a 550 estive biscuits and some snacks That was all the provision he had Based on his assessment, food and water was hisit would take for him to leave this barren land?

“Since I caht as well head down the eastern side” With the decision made, Gu Jun wielded the scalpel as a weapon and started his journey The thought ruh hisalready… I don’t have the watercolor with me so they should be able to find it, but that’s probably the only clue they’ll find However, I’m sure Phecda will still launch a carpet search…’ He was reminded of the promise he made to Wu Siyu and chuckled bitterly at his inability to fulfil it Nohether he was able to return to Earth was still an unknown

Another unknown to consider was that witch…

Gu Jun’s heart eighed down by these problems He swore to solve some of them before he returned

‘I wonder if I aht fell, he would be able to tell further by studying the constellation Gu Jun walked down a straight road for a whole hour He believed he had covered about 5 ke at all He stopped for soround was still as parched as ever But on the third hour, he finally saw so?!’ Gu Jun focused his gaze A pole was stuck into the ground and a flag was hung at the top Never had he evera pair of binoculars that much He did not havewas a trap but it could represent aid and hope Regardless, the only thing he could do was to stay on his guard while slowly approaching the flag

After walking for half a kilo but rotten tatters tied around an iron pole A black iron cage strung froed inside it… He walked closer and confirmed that it was a person, a dead person to be exact It was a kneeling desiccated corpse The hands were tied behind the body and the person was left to dry under the blazing sun Part of his flesh was so disintegrated that pieces of white bone peeked through

“That appears to be a huh the distance, Gu Jun could tell the body inside the cage belonged to a homo sapien ‘What kind of place is this?’ He looked around with guardedness This was no friendly location Evil lurked at every corner

At that ht Gu Jun’s attention A piece of paper edged between a crack in the ground He went over to pick it up His brows furrowed It was a faded charity event poster It was quite well-preserved if one ignored the bloodstain on it The poster featured the sea with tihtly, “Protect the ocean, save the world”

That confused Gu Jun further He studied the poster and then the corpse inside the cage Did the dead person bring the poster over? He also transrated into this world just like he did? Or they were still on Earth?

WuxiaWorldS i t e Only

Based on the condition of the corpse, it appeared like they were starved to death inside the cage Who would do so so cruel and for what purpose…

Suddenly, a buzz caine It ca!’ Gu Jun’s heart skipped but at least he was prepared After all, he had considered the possibility of the ‘flag’ being a trap ‘Are there bandits on the road? Will I be tossed inside the cage if I’m captured?’

There was no cover for him to hide and Gu Jun knew he could not outrun a motor vehicle Gu Jun soon saw the ether with different, irregular parts
