Chapter 50: Who Dares to Hurt My Girl (1/2)
Translator: Soldier
”Girl, do you know that you may end up directly turning into ashes?”
”Even so, I won't regret doing this.”
That was true. She wouldn't regret it.
Because she was gambling, and the stake was her life.
If she won, she would be the biggest winner. And if she lost, she would die.
Actually, Yun Wu had understood one thing the moment she came to this exotic world.
And that was — if she was to survive in this world, she must be more powerful than those who wanted her dead. Otherwise, she would have to drag out an ignoble existence.
As long as she was still breathing, she would do whatever she could to stand on the top of the pyramid, and she would never allow anybody to bully her.
This was not high-handedness, and it was not wild arrogance either. This was her principle and her pride that she could not live without.
So with this ”opportunity” before her, she had chosen to seize it, even if it meant that she might perish.
After hearing Yun Wu's words, Elder White became silent.
Maybe at that moment he was shocked by the pride in her, or maybe he was infected by her mood.
At this time, energy started churning in her body. A stream of aggressive boiling power rampaged in her meridians, approaching her heart...
Letting out a muffled groan, Yun Wu clenched her teeth tightly. Cold sweat emerged on her forehead and her breath became painful and unbearable.
”It is the Fire Origin,” Elder White's voice sounded rather anxious.
'Fire Origin?'
'It seems that something's happening.'
'But it is too fierce.'
After a moment.
In the cave.
”Ah...”
The painful scream had just died away when that figure covered by fire leaped upwards and violently impacted upon the wall, as if this was the only way to alleviate the burning pain.
Pain.
Severe pain.
Her whole body was engulfed by flame and all her clothes had been burnt.
In darkness, the cave was glaring with light of blazing fire as if it was the Flame Mountain. All plants around it were scorched, the nearby ground parched and cracked.
”Roar ~ ”
Those numerous beasts, which had been drawn to the cave, were scared away by the heat as soon as they approached the cave.
...
She felt as if she had been through the pains of being burnt by fire, cut by saber, drowned by water, drilled by pointed stick, buried alive as well as struck by lightning...
These torturing pains seemed endless...
'How long has it been?'
Yun Wu couldn't remember. She only remembered pains — indescribable pains.
Every time a certain type of torture was about to subside, she would think that all this was over, only to find that before she could take a breath,
Another torture of a different type had just begun.
Just like at this moment, electrical current had just disappeared in her body, a weird force started tearing and twisting her blood vessels and entrails.
Even the so-called hell couldn't have been worse than the situation Yun Wu was in.
Yun Wu felt that she had become numb, and she wouldn't roll even if the pain was as unbearable as that caused by slowly cutting off her flesh piece by piece.
She lay on the ground, breathing painfully with parched lips and crimson eyes. Foul blood was oozing out of her skin, which made her look so horrible that she seemed to have just crawled out of rank blood.
...
However, right at this moment.
Five giant Flying Mounts circled above the Magic Beasts Forest. Their speed changed from time to time as if they were searching for something.
”Lord Jin, we're already above the middle of the Magic Beasts Forest. We'll have to walk if we go any deeper into it.”
There were two people on each Flying Mount's back and at this time, on the back of one of the Flying Mounts, a middle-aged man in black said respectfully to the old man in a brocade robe who was leading the way.
If they kept going deeper into the forests, they might attract the attention of some high-level flying beasts, which would get themselves into some big trouble.
Frowning, Jin Long said in a deep voice, ”Go a little deeper, and if the jade token still doesn't detect anything, then we'll walk.”
”Yes!”
The other nine people all answered respectfully.
They had been searching this forest for three full days, but the Magic Beasts Forest was so vast that it was very difficult to find someone. They had a jade token which could detect their target, but they still needed to get close enough.
But the Flying Mounts had just flown a little further,
”Lord Jin, look! The jade token seems to have detected something,” a man in black with sharp eyes discovered that the jade token fastened to his belt was giving off a black light.
”It seems that our target is nearby. Go down and find him,” with a severe look in his eyes, Jin Long said in a deep voice and then immediately leaped down from the Flying Mount.
Seeing this, the other nine people also leaped down swiftly.
Shah shah...
Ten figures quietly landed on the ground like ten swallows.
If anybody had seen this scene, they would surely have been startled.
They had jumped down onto the ground from such high positions yet managed to land without making any sounds. There was no doubts that they were all King fu experts.
It was rather dark in the Magic Beasts Forest, which made the black light given off by the jade token fastened to Jin Long's belt more noticeable.
”The target is right ahead of us. Move!”
Hardly had his voice died away when the ten figures dashed towards the cave where Yun Wu was like greased lightning.
