Other world, other me
They finally step out and walk towards the next town which they hope they could find Lu Bu anytime soon. As they walk, they look at the map and decide which road they should use.
Gan Ning: So, where should head to?
Jiang Wei: (look at the map and point the direction) We'll head to Chi Bi, once we pass through the jungle, we'll be there in no time.
Huang Gai: Ok then, let's go!
As they walk, they manage stop at the entrance of the jungle. But before they enter, there was a man stops them for advance.
Man: Halt! Don't go any further!
Cao Ren: (they look at each other, confuse) Why is that? Is there a problem?
Man: Um… Don't you know, it's dangerous in there! Lately there was a furious monster, roaming around!
Gan Ning: Heh! You don't have to worry about us, we're pro!
Man: I wouldn't say that if I were you. This monster was different than the others! It was a three heads serpent! I would avoid that it if I were you, even the Hunter and soldiers could not take it down!
Cao Ren: But, we need to go to Chi Bi as soon as we can, is there any other path we could go?
Man: Hm… actually, there was a way, if you could run as fast as you can, you might out of danger cuz I heard that this monster was not a good chaser, so as long as you can run, but the problem is, the jungle was 100 kilometers deep! If you can't run that long, I advise you to use other route!
Huang Gai: You sound like you knew there was another way, told us!
Man: The other choice was, go to Ru Nan Village; you could buy a horse there and ride it through until the exit! That should be wise enough for you!
Jiang Wei: Ok, it seems that we had no other way right?
Ling Tong: Yeah, I would rather buy a horse instead of running…
Cao Ren: Alright then, we'll go to Ru Nan Village, buy the horse and off we go! (then, they started to walk to the village which was not far away from the jungle. Just as they walk away, Gan Nings walk slowly behind them, thinking)
Ling Tong: What's in your mind?
Gan Ning: Hm? Nothing, just thought of this name makes me reminded of his home, he lives there right?
Ling Tong: Oh, you mean Lu Meng? Yes but not from world. I never thought this place would exist in this world. You know, there seems to be some connection with our world, don't you think? I mean, most of the place and the people we knew, they seems to be exist for some reason…
Gan Ning: Yeah, that is why it makes me wanna go home…
Ma Chao: Hey, you think you're the only one who thinks that? We thought of that too!
Xu Huang: Well, is beyond our power right? Since we stuck here for awhile, why not enjoy it first? Until then, we'll find a way to went back home!
Wei Yan: He's…right… we go…together…
Ling Tong: I guess we thought the same think too…
Jiang Wei: Hey! What's with you guys! Come on already! It's just right there! (he shout as loud as he could since he was a few miles away from them.)
As they saw the village, they saw there was a herd of horses, gallop around. Since they need a horse, they went to see the dealer and buy it from him. But the problem came.
Gan Ning: What?! $1000 each? Are you crazy? That'll make $8000 then!
Cao Ren: But, can't you just discount for it? I mean, $1000?
Dealer: No, no, no discount! That's the lowest price I could give…
Jiang Wei: Then, what should we do? We don't have enough money to buy it…
Huang Gai: How about we share? That'll do it right?
Jiang Wei: Still, we can't afford it; we've just only had $1000 and we could only buy one…
Ling Tong: I don't want to run… That's crazy! (they just look at each other, don't know what to do. Just then, the dealer went off and serves other customer)
Dealer: Ah, welcome, do you need a horse?
Lu Xun: Hm… no, actually I came here to talk about the Mission that you've mention…
Dealer: Oh, so you're the Hunter, thank goodness you came; I was just hoping someone to…
That voice, it sounds familiar. As they all look behind, they saw Lu Xun standing at the entrance, talking with the dealer.
Gan Ning: Lu Xun! You came! (he shout, as if he was deaf)
Lu Xun: (he just ignores them and continues his discussion) Now, about the Mission, you say this monster roaming around here lately and you want me to defeat it…
Dealer: Yes, that's the thing. It would be extremely annoying if it still roaming, so I bet you, help me eliminate it!
Lu Xun: Ok, I'll see what I can do… (then he walk out the room and head to the field, of course the others were following him which piss him off) What now?
Gan Ning: What else? We came to see whether you need our help…
Lu Xun: No, thank you. I could handle it alone!
Jiang Wei: I heard he says there was monster around, what was it?
Lu Xun: This does not concern you! (then he turn away and leave them alone)
Gan Ning: Sheesh, we just ask…
Ma Chao: Now, what should we do?
Jiang Wei: um… I don't know, I guess we need to find something that could earn some money…
Huang Gai: I guess the only place we could ask was Jing Zhou or this farm…
Cao Ren: Alright, if that's the case, we'll find something to do and earn some money then…
Then, most of them split and find themselves a job in order to earn some money. Lu Xun, who still on the field, thinking about what the Dealer had said. As he tries to figure out, the more he felt weird about it. Just as he wanted to investigate the jungle's side, he saw most of them, wondering around, searching for something. He just shook his head and went off.
As for Gan Ning and the others, they're wondering around, looking for something that could sell and earn the money and the truth is, they don't even realize what they were doing as they never tried it before! They just wandering around, doing something hopelessly. As for Jiang Wei, he wandered around the saddle. As he passes by, he heard something whining in pain. He looks inside, searching for the noise. As he follows the noise, he saw a horse, lying on the ground, whining in pain. Its leg was caught by a chain, but it was not any normal chain. It had thorn beside it and it went through the leg which cause the horse's leg bleeding (which it stops now).
Seeing this scene, Jiang Wei could not let this happen and slowly approach it, hoping to release it. But the horse was afraid of him, it started to get panic and this cause its leg bleeding again. "There, there, it's alright, I'm here to help you…" Jiang Wei tried to calm him down, but the horse still panic in fear and it was trying to hit Jiang Wei. But Jiang Wei did not give up; he held out his hand slowly and touches its nose, then slowly pats its head. For some reason, the horse started to calm down and stay quiet. "It's alright, I'm letting you out not…" he used his Trident, carefully targeting the chain and broke it.
Once the chain broke, Jiang Wei takes out a bottle and pours it on the horse's leg. The horse flinch in pain, it wanted to get up but Jiang Wei keeps hold him down until the wound is heal. As the wound heals, the horse quickly stands up and ran outside, leaving Jiang Wei alone. As Jiang Wei put the bottle back in his pocket, he heard there was a lot of noise coming from outside. He quickly ran outside and checks the situation. To his horror, he saw a huge Horse like monster, attacking the farm.
Just as he wanted to fight the monster, he saw his friends ran towards him, together with Lu Xun.
Jiang Wei: What happen here?
Huang Gai: Beats me! This monster just came out from nowhere and it's attacking the farm! (then they saw the Dealer ran out from the room)
Dealer: Ah, it's that thing! Help!
Lu Xun: (as his cell phone beep, he took out and sees the message. Once he finishes reading it, he put it back) that's Tien Lu! One of the sacred beasts! But why does it attack?
Gan Ning: Who cares! I don't know about you guys but I'm going! (then he charge forward)
Of course the others join him too. As they fight, they notice that this monster was way too big for them and it was getting nastier every minute! Just as they keep attacking, the monster targets the Dealer and wanted to crush him! Of course they could not let this happen; they quickly find a way to distract the beast. Lu Xun jumps up on the beast's head, shout at its ear. "Stop it! Why are you doing this?!" But the beast could not listen to him one bit and it's getting wilder! Lu Xun still holds himself on top of its head, trying to communicate with it. But as he tries to communicate, the beast targeting Jiang Wei, wanted to crush it down. Of course Jiang Wei keeps evade. But the more he evades, the beast wanted to crush him down.
Lu Xun quickly concentrates and re-communicates. This time, to his surprise, the beast wanted Jiang Wei and Dealer's life as they had took her son from her. Once Lu Xun got the idea, he quickly jumps down on the ground and meets Jiang Wei, ask him with dangerous tone, "What had you done to her child? Answer me!" "What are you talking about?! I don't understand!" mean while, Jiang Wei tried to evade from the beast. "She says you done something to her son, and now she wants you to pay for it!" Lu Xun too tried to evade from the beast as it was getting nasty! "I've done nothing to the child and I haven't even met any kind just like that!" Jiang Wei tried to explain but his hand was hold up by Lu Xun, which was stain with blood. "Then explain this, why there was blood on your hand? What did you done?" Lu Xun grab his bloody hand and wait for his reply. "Oh? This one? I got it from the saddle just now. I saw there was a horse lying on the ground whining in pain, so I 've free him…" before Jiang Wei could finish his sentence; Lu Xun expression was totally change. "Wait, if it was in the saddle, that's mean…" Lu Xun looks at the Dealer angrily, and chases him down.
Lu Xun successfully caught him and grabs his collar, "Do you know what had you done? That was his mother and now she's trying to kill us all because of you!" But the Dealer did not want to confess, still intend to dilly-deli. Now, Lu Xun was enraged, he punches the Dealer out of his mind and tries to stop the beast. He rises up his hand into big 'T' and hoping to stop her, "Stop! He's free now! Stop this instance!" But the beast did not want to listen to anyone and she was trying to hit him down whom Ling Tong manages to pull him aside, avoid the danger. "Are you crazy? You want to get yourself kill?" Ling Tong quickly pulls him up and half scolded him, worrying about his safety.
But Lu Xun did not listen to him, he push Ling Tong aside and chase after the beast, hoping she could calm down. But things getting worst, she could not be control anymore. She was too anger to listen to anyone and worst, that whole area was a mess! Just as Jiang Wei tries to evade the beast again, he unfortunately trip on a stone and lost his balance and fall on the ground. He tried to get up, but the beast turn his body around and charged forward Jiang Wei, without pity!
Just as they thought Jiang Wei gonna be a goner, there was another beast came and take Jiang Wei off. Jiang Wei was surprise; he was lift up by the horse he saves earlier! The horse gently put him down and walks towards the beast. The beast was calm now. She lowers her head and licks the horse. It was her son! And she was happy to see him safely. They slowly stand up, and walk away few inches from the beast, which they fear that she might go crazy again.
Once the mother was happy about it, the mother and son walks towards them and bow, as if they're telling them that they're sorry about everything, and went off. But the Dealer did not want the beasts go, he wanted to catch them from the beginning, but he was threatening by Lu Xun and decided to give up.
Since everything was back to normal, the younger horse walks towards Jiang Wei and lick his face, asking him to ride on him. "He says he will help you to cross the jungle" Lu Xun said, looking at the horse. "But it could only fit one person right? Then how about us?" Huang Gai asks. Then the mother walks toward and asks them to ride on her. At first, they hesitate, but, since she asks for it, they accept and ride on her, while Jiang Wei and Lu Xun would on the younger horse.
As they pass through the jungle, the man that mention about the monster earlier was indeed true. Fortunately for them, both mother and son had a great speed and they manage to pass through them until the exit. They step down and thank the horses. Just before the horses leave, the younger horse walk towards Jiang Wei, gave him a 'Crystal' ball, and leave. At first Jiang Wei was confused. But as Lu Xun explain to him, he finally understood that he could call for its help whenever he was in trouble, but in one condition, he needs to has a 'Summoner' form, or else, half of his strength will be wasted!
Just as Lu Xun wanted to leave, Ling Tong asks him to stay with them, but was rejected. He transforms into 'Ninja' form and leaves them behind. Now that they've pass through the jungle, they continue their journey until they could reach the next town.
Alright, that's it for this chapter. Stay tune!
