Chapter 5: Exhausting
As Yan Long strove forward, he heard noises, like the buzzing of bees around his ears, he felt confused and started walking towards the location of the sound, sneaking towards an area, almost a cliff, he crawled like a stalking beast.
And soon, he reached the end of a cliff, he saw it, for the first time.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"KILL!!!!!!"
"DIEEEEEEEEE!"
Yan Long's eyes widened in shock, he couldn't count it, but there are humans fighting. Twenty thousand men skirmishing, brawling it out.
One of them wearing armors, spears, swords, and bows. The other side are wearing lighter leather armors, their muscles can be seen as they brandished their scimitars.
Corpses littered the ground completely, blood dying the ground red.
"The Flying Crow squad will never be defeated by barbarians! KILL THEM ALL! KILL ALL THESE INVADING MONGRELS!" The one wearing the most attention-grabbing armor shouted, he's using a glaive while killing whatever blocked his path.
"Hahaha, they think they are brave men, hiding behind those thick metals all over their body, kill them all!" Meanwhile, a massive man shouted, holding scimitars on both his hands, slashing enemies left and right.
It was a bloodbath, Yan Long although hundreds of meters away, he can smell the dreadful blood and internal organs scattered on the ground.
He almost vomited, he held it in and slowly backed off.
Finally, it dawned into him, this world is different, not the peaceful one he had known, he almost collapsed but shook his head and immediately made his way to the path Oar had mentioned the safest.
His heart beating so fast that it felt rather painful, his whole body trembling almost making him unable to walk.
After a while more of walking, he finally reached the forest, he stopped by the lake, mostly, the one Oar had mentioned to him. "I only need to find the waterfalls, after that, I'll be safe... right?" As he uttered it, he drank from the lake's water, took out whatever he can from the cart and wrapped it with a big piece of cloth: "I can at most survive for a few more days with this amount of food."
Although he's still a little shaken from what he had witnessed, Yan Long pushed forward, following the lake's path as his guide.
But after walking for a few more minutes, he heard some noises, he immediately slowed down his pace and moved sneakily behind the trees, carefully looking at the places he steps at.
As he arrived at the location of the noise, he couldn't believe what he saw.
The first one is a gigantic red bear, a few thorns sticking out of its body, in front of it, lying on the ground flat and lifelessly is a crocodile turned upside down with its stomach completely wide open. The bear is eating it quite happily.
Thankfully for the blood's smell, Yan Long wasn't noticed by the bear. But what had shocked him more is something else...
[Thorned Bone Red Bear
Level: 6
HP: 189/189]
He can see its name and also its health. 'Why is it showing when it's not really needed? How can I even know what this thing is for!' He thought gravely, but he slowly crouched down and waited for all of this to pass by.
But after a few more minutes had passed, Yan Long felt something is amiss, the sound of the lake's current grew slightly distorted. He slowly stood up behind the tree and noticed that something is moving in the lake.
He's not the only one that noticed it, the Thorned Bone Red Bear also did, it went down on all four as it slowly backed down while glaring at the movements on the lake.
As the ones on the lake appeared, Yan Long immediately saw its window.
[Razor Back Crocodile
Level: 5
HP: 93/93]
[Crocodile
Level: 3
HP: 32/32]
There is one Razor Back Crocodile and twelve normal crocodiles moving towards the bear.
As the bear started to back off, it slowly dragged its trophy away, and seeing this, the crocodiles attacked.
"ROAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"URMMMMMM!"
Yan Long was watching for a bit before he entered a realization, one is good enough, but if there are more smell of blood out in the air, then, it may attract other predator's attention!
He immediately back off and started going further in the forest, circling around the fighting, although it only lasted for fifteen minutes just for circling around, it felt like hours for Yan Long, every fiber of his body became tense as he moved out some more, but as he moved, he heard some more noises again.
Immediately, he hides inside the bushes.
He saw them as soon as he looked out of the bushes.
[Savage Fanged Wolf
Level: 5
HP: 39/39]
[Grizzly Fanged Alpha Wolf
Level: 7
HP: 72/72]
They just watched the fight from a distance away, and when the bear killed two crocodiles, it was wounded gravely and started to back off, leaving its prey behind.
Seeing this, the crocodiles just dragged their fallen comrades back into the lake and started feasting on it.
The bear grunted while looking at the crocodiles regretfully before making its way back into the forest.
"AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" But immediately, the alpha wolf howled.
All of the wolves immediately pounced at the bear, the latter felt threatened, without any hesitation it run with all its might.
The path the bear took is the exact opposite of Yan Long, dragging the wolves away from his location. Although the bear made a mighty escape, it was slowly nibbled up by the wolves.
He heaved a sigh of relief before looking around and getting out of the bushes, but as soon as he did, he found out that something is looking at him.
He looked back and saw one of the wolves glaring at him. He felt frightened. It was a short ten seconds, but he felt his heart beating extremely fast.
The wolf then immediately followed its comrades again and attacked the bear.
Yan Long heaved a massive sigh before making a run for it: "F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!"
He couldn't help but curse out silently before rushing out of the bushes and followed the lake's path again.
It took around two more days, a few events the same that had transpired before occurred once in a while, but he managed to escape rather safely from it.
After the second day, he arrived at the waterfalls that Oar had described to him.
"Finally..." Yan Long couldn't help but utter, Oar had said that so long as he arrived here, it'll be safe, and when he looked around, although there are tons of bushes around it, there is actually a small bunker behind the water falls, there are even a few doors.
He approached it and opened the door, he entered the bunker and closed the door once again.
There's an unlit torch in front of him, although it's still high noon, the place is actually quite dark, and one more thing is, he didn't know how to make a fire from scratch.
He sat down and just heaved a massive sigh: "This... is rather exhausting..."
