章 21: Lost In A Jungle

A dark sky filled with stars, very large tall trees with lots of leaves, the very soft and comfortable ground, the cool feeling of wind blowing on the face with the rustling of leaves which brings about a certain kind of comfort, silence all around with a half-moon hanging up in the sky, these were the sensations and sight Seth woke up to.

He just lay down with his back to the floor and his eyes staring at the sky for around 20 minutes, he could feel a deep exhaustion within him gradually fade away, his body felt satisfied in all aspects at the moment, his mind was in a black state, he had no thoughts other than those worshipping the magnificence of the current environment.

While enjoying his current tranquility, he decided to take a deep breath in a bid to immerse himself further into the sensations going through him, but that was a big mistake as a foul stench brutally assaulted his nose every second he breathed in.

This sudden turn of events had Seth quickly standing up, his previous melancholic mood all forgotten as he tried to find the source of the stench.

Seth felt a wet sticky feeling on his body as he stood up, he looked at his body and saw a dark red sticky liquid covering his entire body, he moved his mouth to speak and to his disgust, found the same sticky feeling in there.

This sudden state in which he found his body sent Seth's mind thinking and memories of his last escapade rushing into his mind.

His injuries, the intense hunger that he thought would consume him, and the feeling of his mind being taken over as he lost consciousness, Seth remembered them all and a feeling of disgust welled up within him as he had a pretty good guess about the sticky fluid on him.

This guess sent him shivering and his brain functioning at full capacity and a few seconds later he found evidence that turned his guess to the truth.

Seth's body state had distracted him completely for several seconds before his eyes finally scanned his surroundings, he saw blood and flesh all around him, and apparently, he had been sleeping within the carcass of a very large beast.

The comfortable ground he had been on was actually a huge lump of flesh, he could see body parts of the beast strewn around, and looking at the bones that surrounded him, it seems he slept in the beast's ribcage.

"I doubt it even put up a fight with my higher evolution status thing," Seth thought in pity as he jumped down from his one-time comfy bed, he could still feel some residue of qi from the beast which meant it was at least Rank 3 beast but he couldn't draw up any other conclusion on its power.

With a roll of his tongue around his mouth, Seth spat out saliva along with some particles of flesh which cemented his already confirmed guess that he had consumed the raw flesh of this beast.

Other than feeling disgusted at the foul smell oozing off his body along with this dark sticky liquid which was most likely blood, he didn't feel repulsed at the thought of consuming raw flesh, though he would have preferred it cooked or at least eaten in a clean manner and not like an animal.

Done with his analysis of the sticky substance on him, Seth now had time to analyze his body and the summary of it all was that he felt super great in all aspects, well other than the fact that he was butt naked,

"how did I even lose my pants" Seth complained in a low voice as he used his soul sense to check 2km around him in a bid to find a water source, he needed to wash up and get this horrible smell off himself.

Before losing consciousness, Seth had been in a moderately dry region, scarcely populated with trees, but now he found himself in a forest filled with green pasture all around him.

"Why did I go so far, I am sure there were more than enough beasts around the Longsam canyon, hell I could have even gone into the canyon," Seth thought.

After a sweep through the area, Seth found nothing and so decided to move forward.

It should have been around two hours since he started walking, he tried to make sense of what kind of forest he was in but so far he had not come across any wildlife, the forest was filled with a terrifying silence no matter where he went.

After moving for another hour, he did a sweep of the forest and this time he found a stream, with a smile on his face, Seth began lightly running in its direction while he used one hand to hold down his swinging little brother.

Minutes later, Seth arrived and without a care, he jumped into the stream and a few seconds later resurfaced with a smile of relief on his face, he then took his time to give his body a well-deserved cleanup.

When Seth was done, he left the stream and sat on its bank, now that he was done taking care of his most immediate need, Seth could now think about how to solve his other problems.

The recent saga of him going beast mode, his super-duper roar, and his scaring of any beast around him, he needed to go into his soul space and have a chat with those two consciousness, but that couldn't be done now as he needed to be somewhere he could safely leave his unconscious body.

Since he wouldn't be getting answers to his question anytime soon, then he should focus on his next glaring problem, "what fucking jungle was he in and how was he going to get out of here ".

Seth truthfully had no idea how to go about this, the only thing he could figure out about this place was that it was a dangerous forest filled with really powerful beasts.

He had climbed to the top of a tree to look around yet all he could see were trees for miles on end.

"Well since I can't figure out a thing, I might as well run till I eventually get out," Seth said to no one with a dumb look on his face, or "why not just fly out of here," Seth said with a smirk on his face as he glanced sideways at a particular tree in the distance to his left.

The next second he was gone from his position in a burst of lightning and appeared on the branches of a particular tree, the loud screech of an avian could be heard immediately Seth stepped on the tree and it quickly tried to fly away, but with a domineering roar from Seth, it obediently closed its opened wings and bowed its head submissively to him.

Observing it, Seth guessed that it was most likely a strong rank 5 beast or possibly rank 6, but the qi within it felt weaker than the beast whose carcass he had woken up in, "Could it have eaten a rank 7 beast" Seth thought with a lick of his lips.

Any other day he would have run back to get the body parts of such a beast as it would have fetched him quite a lot of money, but with his current wealth, he had no need for such petty change.

"Finding a rank 7 beast would perfectly explain why I ran all the way over here, but did I really need to consume a rank 7 beast, I'm still merely a middle stage cadet yet I need rank 7 beasts to satisfy my hunger, what happens when I break into the soldier level" Seth wandered as he climbed onto the waiting bird.

"Mehh I would deal with that when the time comes Seth concluded as the bird kicked into the air and began flying.

Seth's knowledge on beasts was minimal as he had spent most of his life within the safety of the city walls, along with his love seals, he had no idea what bird he was currently riding, but its blunt beak along with its feathers pointed at it being a bird.

For some reason, this bird hadn't flown away when he had arrived but had chosen to hide in a tree,

"Must be from a dumb species" was Seth's conclusion on the bird's origin.

The bird had an incredibly large body spanning nearly a 100 meters almost as large as a three-story building, so Seth had quite enough space to lie down after pointing the direction for it to fly, It had thick but soft feathers which were so comfortable that he began entertaining thoughts of taming it.

Some cultivators specialized in taming beasts and some of them even had pets that helped them fight battles, while Seth had no interest in having a beast for a fighting partner, he could see a lot of perks in having such a bird as a means of transport.

After giving it some thought, he rejected the idea, its current speed was horrible compared to what he wanted for his transportation not to mention its cumbersome size, there were many better alternatives he could look into with his current wealth.

"Now with all these irrelevant thoughts out of the way, I really need to find some clothes and a solution for my little guy," Seth thought looking at his almost semi hard dick.

"If only Alexia were stronger I would take that juicy body and skilled lips of hers with me everywhere," Seth thought in frustration followed by different thoughts drifting through his head as he waited for the bird to get him to civilization.
