Chapter 32 - Survival ~ 1
A small figure was slowly swimming within the small cyan lake. If you looked carefully, you would be surprised to discover that there was a faint dark rainbow mixed in the water behind the young man and around his body. This was the blood that was flowing out from Xu Xuan"s body.At that moment, although much of the flesh and blood on Xu Xuan"s thighs and arms had been devoured, and his entire arm looked even more terrifying, to the point that one could see the ghastly bones from the b.l.o.o.d.y areas. He looked extremely terrifying, but he was still slowly approaching the small island in the middle of the lake.
Ten meters, seven meters, five meters … Although the distance did not seem far, to the current Xu Xuan, it was an incomparably long journey."So sleepy!" I really want to go to sleep! "
His eyes felt an incomparable heaviness, his mind also felt an unprecedented exhaustion, and really wanted to fall asleep just like that. His body felt more and more weak and powerless, and not a single moment pa.s.sed without a bone-piercing pain tormenting him. This was a pain that seeped deep into his soul.
"No, I can"t go to sleep like this!"
But facing such a tired torture, Xu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and forcefully increased his mental strength, bit by bit, the determination in his eyes rushed out, as though he was going to break even with everything on the line, and was vowing to reach his goal.
Looking at the island less than three meters away from him, he once again steeled his resolve. His body was covered in blood, and he used a kind of willpower to slowly swim forward.
It was a hope that would allow the Xu family to grow stronger. For the clan, for their father, and also for the shame of the past, he desperately moved forward, continuously swimming about. A small body actually exploded with unimaginable power, and all of this was for his clan to flourish, and also for others to understand that he was not a trash, and that he would absolutely not admit defeat.
The small silkworm seemed to have been starving for a long time as it continuously ate the flesh on Xu Xuan"s thigh. Even though it had eaten its fill, it did not leave, and continued to swim around in the water mixed with Xu Xuan"s fresh blood, as if it was having a meal as it greedily enjoyed everything."Pah!"
Finally, after a few minutes, a b.l.o.o.d.y arm was weakly placed on the sh.o.r.e of the small island. From this hand, it seemed that there was not much flesh left on it. It looked very frightening, and fresh blood dripped down onto the gra.s.s.
Next, a hand slowly reached out. This arm was similar to the one before. The only difference was that as the arm came up, a bag fell to the sh.o.r.e.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Enduring the endless pain and torment, Xu Xuan used his last bit of strength and let out a wild roar from the bottom of his heart. His entire body fiercely leaped upwards, held back the pain as though it was being slashed by a knife, and finally crawled onto the small island in one breath.
"Bam!"Xu Xuan, who had long since reached the limits of his exhaustion and pain, was now lying on the ground. His eyes slowly closed, and he finally fell into a deep sleep, as if he had come from h.e.l.l to heaven. He could let go of his deep exhaustion, and he firmly believed in his heart that he wouldn"t die because he believed that the Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade would bring him another unimaginable miracle, allowing him to live.
Survive, for many people, perhaps this was very simple, but for the current Xu Xuan, it was incomparably treasured. After experiencing too much, experiencing life and death, then one would be able to understand the meaning of survival, and would be able to understand the value of life.The only thing worth rejoicing in his heart was that these silkworms did not like to eat his life. Otherwise, he would have to die of depression.
At this moment, a warm current was constantly flowing within his dantian, flowing towards his wounds. This was also the only thing that Xu Xuan relied on, in the hopes that he could use the Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade"s strange power to prevent himself from dying just like that.
After lying on the ground for three days, Xu Xuan finally felt that the sunlight was a little dazzling. He rubbed his eyes, then slowly sat up and stretched."How long have I been asleep?"
Xu Xuan frowned, and looked at his palm and thigh, the flesh that he had eaten previously had actually completely recovered, and was no different from before. If he did not see the wounds on his clothes and the bloodstains on his clothes from before, he would not have dared to believe this was real."Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade! It really is a good treasure. If not for you, I think that I, Xu Xuan, would have been in trouble today. "
Xu Xuan"s heart was currently filled with grat.i.tude towards the Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade. Unexpectedly, after sleeping for a while, the wound was completely healed, it was truly a miracle, such a treasure, no wonder Hong Sha would fight for it with all his might.
"Ugh!"
However, when he looked towards the lakeside, he realised that there was a pair of fierce eyes staring straight at him, causing him to suck in a breath of cold air. This Zhen Tianying, was truly a stubborn person, to actually not leave yet.
Zhen Tianying did not leave, and this caused Xu Xuan"s expression to become serious. If after a period of time, Zhen Tianying"s right wing"s injury had recovered, then it would be troublesome.
"No, I have to leave this place or increase my strength a little, if that"s the case, then even if I were to fight against Zhen Tianying, I would have more power to protect myself."
Xu Xuan started to ponder in his heart. This island was not big, he could see everything in front of him. Other than the two big trees, there were basically nothing else on the island.The lake was not very big, especially since it was a sunny day. Without any fog to block their line of sight, they would be able to see the entire lake.
If he wanted to leave this place and swim to the other side of the lake, then Zhen Tianying would definitely go around it. He reckoned that before even reaching the sh.o.r.e, Zhen Tianying would already be waiting for him, and there were even silkworm fishes waiting for him in the lake.
"Looks like I can only increase my own strength. But how can I increase my own strength in such a short period of time?" Furthermore, even if you have levelled up to the middle of the sixth phase, you still would not be Zhen Tianying"s match. "
Xu Xuan sat on the ground and started thinking bitterly, but very quickly his gaze landed on the bag beside him. It was difficult for the Spirit Demon beast to break through the bottleneck, but Zhen Tianying was able to do so with just three black root fruit, so shouldn"t he give it a try?"Gulp!"
At this moment, sounds of hunger came from his stomach as it protested.
