337 A Great Grudge! (1/2)

The boy was fast, but the speed that the donkey was capable of when it was snatching food was equally fast. Especially when it sensed that its food was rushing past it and towards its master, it panicked uncontrollably then.

It sincerely thought that the greatest enemy in its life was the guy behind it. He kept stopping it from filling its stomach. He even fought it for food.

What the donkey found unacceptable was how the food flew past it and ignored it entirely, heading straight into the arms of its master. It was unwilling to admit defeat. It turned suddenly and with a sudden bite, crunched down hard!

The bite… was unexpected and sudden. Wang Baole hadn't expected it. Even the invisible, cold and arrogant looking blood-colored boy hadn't expected it. It was something he would never have dreamed would happen. The silly-looking donkey that had been munching on grass all along had bitten him.

He found it hard to believe that the donkey could see him. What shocked him and sent his body trembling was how quickly the donkey had suddenly come at him. It had been a complete blur. It sank its teeth directly into his right arm.

There was a sudden crunch. The boy let loose a terrible scream that no one could hear. Half the length of his arm was snapped off clean by the donkey. There was an explosion of blood that no one could see. The boy's face was drained of blood instantly. Terror shone in his eyes, and he looked incredulous. It seemed as if it had never crossed his mind since the day he was born that he might one day be bitten!

The boy gasped in pain and terror when he saw the donkey attempting a second bite. He ignored the blood spurting from his arm and retreated hastily.

He narrowly avoided another horrible bite from the donkey.

Wang Baole hadn't sensed the little boy. He saw the donkey turning its head and snapping its teeth suddenly though. He found that strange. He eyed his surroundings but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

The donkey had its back towards Wang Baole. It looked smug. It seemed happy that its food hadn't been snatched away by Wang Baole. It swayed its tail and with two to three bites, quickly chewed and swallowed the arm.

It chewed and then its eyes widened suddenly. There was a lost look in its eyes, which soon disappeared as the donkey's eyes reddened. There was a sudden crazed look in them. It turned and started looking around.

This was the most delicious thing it had ever eaten in its entire life!

”What are you snapping at? Focus on your grass!” Wang Baole saw the donkey pause in its eating and glared at it. Reprimanded, the donkey took a deep breath and stared innocently back at Wang Baole before continuing to nibble at the grass. It seemed to feel a deep sense of regret at not finding the delicious food it had bitten into.

The grass had tasted great, but now it just tasted like wax and dust. But the donkey was simply too hungry. It continued to munching rapidly…

Its earlier look of innocence when it had turned back and stared at Wang Baole scared the latter though. Wang Baole felt something amiss. He knew the donkey's character, and the silly creature wouldn't show such an expression under normal circumstances. It only did that when it ate something it shouldn't or did something it didn't know that it shouldn't. To pretend that nothing actually happened, it would put on that innocent face.

”Something's wrong. Hey, Scram. Did you go behind my back and eat something you shouldn't?” Wang Baole stared at the donkey with suspicion.

The donkey immediately panicked when it heard that. It turned around hurriedly and gave Wang Baole a look of confusion and innocence. Its deliberate attempt at concealment sealed the deal for Wang Baole. But, no matter how he searched the area, he couldn't find anything. He glared at the donkey again before leading it forward into the tunnel.

The donkey was overjoyed when it saw that Wang Baole couldn't find anything wrong. It took a few steps then started braying. The young man and donkey continued their way deeper into the tunnel, amidst Wang Baole's throbbing headache and unresolved curiosity.

The pair vanished down a tunnel that had been eaten clean by the donkey, and the blood-colored boy slowly reappeared after they left.

He was no longer as arrogant as he had been earlier. He seemed furious, his anger tinged with hate and terror. His right arm had been snapped clean in half…
