Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Who are you?
Chapter 212

Wei Jun frustrated as he sat in the middle of the lake, his abdomen in water while he sitting cross-legged.

Why was he frustrated?

[System update in 00:00:00]

The timer for the reward, when Wei Jun killed Shao Chen, was up a long time ago. Even before he killed the Barghests, the timer was up but now, it was the third day yet the update hadn’t begun.

“Oi.” Since it was just him and he didn’t have to be vigilant about the giant dog hearing him since he was in the water anyway, Wei Jun said it out loud.

[Yes, host?]

“Where’s my reward?” Wei Jun asked.

[Umm…]

[Host…]

The system awkwardly said, knowing it was about to be yelled at.

“What is it?” Wei Jun calmly asked.

[You can’t get your reward in the rupture]

[You have to be back in Wei Jun Ruan’s dimension]

“Why?” Wei Jun asked for the reason, still remaining calm but there were signs of eruption on his face.

[Tha—That’s because the cosmic powers cannot invade this place to update the system]

[It won’t happen in the first place but even if, by some chance, even one of them did, this place would come down on itself]

“What?” Wei Jun asked.

[The entire pocket dimension would collapse on itself, not being able to bear the burden of such a strong power]

Wei Jun understood that. He understood everything about it. There was just one little teeny tiny thing.

He couldn’t get out of there without the power of the reward.

“FUUUCCC****KKKK!!!!!”

“Haa… Haa…’ Melissa was taking deep and long breaths as she ran in a random direction, protected by a few men in armor. They weren’t just protecting her; they were protecting all of them.

It wasn’t a dangerous situation a while ago. Everything was normal. It was a normal day. It was a normal expedition. It was a normal hunt.

But the normality didn’t last for long because they couldn’t find anything to hunt. No monster was alive in this place. They saw traces of battle and remains of blood which indicated there was a battle but there were no monsters here.

They were vigilant about it. Because in such cases, usually there exists a monster far more stronger than the rest and it would have killed the weaker ones.

Still, with a six star aura master, they weren’t much worried about it. No matter how strong a monster was, in the end, it was a monster that was confined to the limit of the gate.

There was nothing in this dungeon a six star aura master couldn’t defeat.

Or so they thought when that very same aura master was being eaten in front of their eyes by a giant wolf-like monster that had eyes full of mad hunger.

They didn’t think of anything else and Melissa ordered the retreat. Unfortunately, they had to run in the opposite direction because the wolf was blocking their way. And they couldn’t take a detour in worry that it might leave its food and come for them.

“How much more do we have to run?” The girl with Melissa asked with tears welling up in her eyes.

They had been running for half a day but they could still feel the threat of the enemy and they hadn’t found a place to hide yet.

Melissa knew that the mages would last long and they would slow down the aura master while doing so. But even the aura masters didn’t have that much stamina. Even though they were currently conserved by running at the mage’s pace, they will sooner or later tire out.

They needed to find a place before that happened. Unfortunately, the entire terrain was a forest and there wasn’t enough high ground or narrow space for them to hide in where the giant wolf couldn’t approach.

“Just hold it in for a little while. We just need to find a safe space.” Melissa said. It was a long shot at best but that was all they could do.

“I just want to go home. I wish I never came here.” The girl whined as she ran with Melissa.

“My god! If you have the strength to whine, then try to pray to god so that he can send us guidance.” A man said, who was running next to the girl.

“Oh god! Save me!” The girl yelled before she turned to the man and said, “Nothing happened.”

“Bit*h.” The man cursed but he didn’t continue to waste his breath.

Just then, while they were busy running, they heard a heavy thud from behind but they were too scared to look behind.

And they were right because when they invested all their strength into running, one of their aura masters was eaten from behind. And he wasn’t the last one, that was for sure.

Seeing his fate, the aura masters didn’t care about loyalty anymore. They left the mages and ran away, scattered in their own directions to save their own lives.

“What the! Come back, you traitors!” The girl with Melissa yelled at them but they didn’t care. Seeing them, the mages in the group began to scatter as well because it was too big of a group and the wolf was less likely to come after them if they weren’t with such a big crowd.

The man who was running next to Melissa and the girl also decided to bolt.

“Oh, my god. Brandon, you traitorous bastard! You can forget about the sensual play I had prepared for you!” The girl yelled but her boyfriend, well, ex now, kept running until he was out of sight.

The girl worriedly turned to Melissa and looked at her with puppy dog eyes. “Don’t worry, I won’t leave you,” Melissa said.

It wasn’t that Melissa wasn’t angry with them but she also understood why they did such a thing. Unfortunately, it wasn’t going to help them but then again, it might help them and they may be able to survive.

“Oh, thank god.” The girl said but then she added, “I’m sorry. I can’t take it anymore. You can leave me.”

Melissa could tell that the girl wasn’t overacting. She really was exhausted and there was nothing more she could exert.

Melissa stopped and carried the girl on her shoulder.

“What are you doing, Melissa? Leave me.” The girl said but Melissa didn’t listen, “Shut up. Go back to praying.”

The girl wanted to resist but she didn’t have the strength to do so and what was the point of doing so? She knew that Melissa would also tire herself out soon and they would be sharing her fate together.

“Oh, my dear god. Please help me. I promise I will stop sleeping with married men.” The girl closed her eyes and sincerely prayed.

“FUUUCCC****KKKK!!!!!”

A shout that shook their surroundings and shook both of them as well. Melissa looked in the direction of where it came from when the girl on her shoulder said, “I think god is angry at me for destroying many marriages.”

“STR*****!!!”

“BA***********!!!!”

“MAN**************!!!!”

Wei Jun jumped in the water and kicked everything underneath his feet in anger, splashing water everywhere while also venting his anger. It wasn’t long before he calmed down but he was still far from settled.

That was also when he heard movement from his left side.

Thinking it was the monster, Wei Jun turned to it only to be surprised and see a woman carrying another on her shoulder.

The woman underneath was a woman of good height, not short like Lin Ruan but talked like Yan Rong.

Her hair was blonde and her face looked like that of a westerner.

And another strange thing about her was that she looked familiar. The only problem was that Wei Jun could remember where he had seen her.

But familiar or not, he was vigilant. Wei Jun looked at the wrists of both of the girls but none of them had the bracelet that Wei Jun had which brought them here.

Which could also mean that there was another way out of there.

Which also meant that Wei Jun could kill them.

Melissa, on the other hand, remembered Wei Jun clearly. The man who Sun Ruan and her academy head professor were trying to set her up with.

Wei Jun Ruan, the untalented basta*d whom the rumors didn’t do justice. He was nothing as she had imagined and he would have been a good match for her if he was interested in her. Unfortunately, he wasn’t and Melissa wasn’t dying for him either.

“You!” Wei Jun said while pointing at Melissa.

“You!!!” She said in return as she also pointed at Wei Jun.

“Who are you?!!” Wei Jun asked next.

“…” Melissa was left speechless when she heard that question.

But before she could shoot back…

Thud!

A giant creature fell behind her and when she turned to see who it was, all life left her being. The giant wolf opened its mouth and brought its sharp teeth to rip her to shred along with her friend when someone grabbed her by her collar and pulled her, leaving the wolf to bite down on nothing but air.
