Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 45 - 1 Difficult Journey_2

45: Chapter 1 Difficult Journey_2

45 -1 Difficult Journey_2

Liu Zhenhan, who had uprooted many belly bamboo along with their roots, resembled a nouveau riche who had just made millions.

He couldn’t resist showing off his newfound strength at every turn, posing admiringly in front of a mirror whilst doing so.

He tried moving the Bahopwe stone as well.

It usually didn’t require too much strength but once it surpassed his original capacity, Liu Zhenhan would feel this rush of energy from an unknown source surge from his abdomen to all of his limbs.

He felt like he had the strength of Xiang Yu.

Liu Zhenhan couldn’t estimate how heavy this green Bahopwe stone was but he was certain of one thing – lifting it was not strenuous.

When compared with the past, it was akin to lifting a sack of fertilizer.

Recalling how Guoguo had struggled earlier, Liu Zhenhan had a strong sense of satisfaction in his heart.

His laughter echoed through the entire bamboo forest.

********************************

Following the direction of the Andes trade winds, the bamboo raft sailed with the waves.

The sky was cloudy, thus they made slow progress.

Liu Zhenhan and Helen had been adrift at sea for nearly half a month.

In the distance, where the sea met the sky, a faint blue trace appeared.

According to Helen, it was the famous Narun Horn Strait of the Aegean Continent.

After crossing the Narun Horn, they could enter the Aegean Sea.

Another half-month’s journey and they would reach the Donau Wasteland under the backdrop of Mount Tamerlarya.

Their much-dreamed-of home — the Bimon Kingdom, was now within sight.

The excitement of seeing home soon diluted the hardships the two experienced along the way.

Both Helen and Liu Zhenhan were filled with mixed emotions of joy and sorrow.

How could mere words describe their suffering on this journey?

The bamboo raft, which was composed of entire belly bamboo trees, was on the verge of decay due to the seawater.

If not for Liu Zhenhan’s idea of double-layering the raft, it would’ve disintegrated days ago.

The sails, made of wolf and water jet rabbit skin sewn with fish gut, were full of holes due to a wave storm they encountered.

They were now barely functional.

Liu Zhenhan had prepared for this voyage for two months.

However, after setting off, the roughness of his equipment was quickly exposed.

The coconuts tied behind the raft, which were supposed to be dragged along with it, were destroyed by a tiger shark attack on the third day.

The floating coconuts were mistaken by the shark for bait; the freshwater resource and the vitamins Liu Zhenhan painfully gathered were gone with a snap of the shark’s jaws.

Fortunately, they still had several golden juicy melons kept in a giant turtle shell on the bamboo raft.

Liu Zhenhan’s careful cultivation resulted in these melons maturing just before they set off.

The melons were smaller than the ones Liu Zhenhan ate before but they were just as sweet and delicious.

Guoguo’s frosty air also froze seawater into ice, providing Liu Zhenhan and Helen with an excellent source of fresh water.

However, Guoguo’s magic power was too low; she could only use the frosty air twice a day and had to consume half of the freshwater she produced.

Before they set off, Liu Zhenhan had gathered a lot of charcoal and made a stove using stone slabs and clamshells, planning to cook sea vegetables on the bamboo raft.

Regrettably, during the tiger shark’s attack, the charcoal got knocked into the sea.

Since then, the salted fish and pickled meat they prepared became ornaments, while live fish, stone marrow, and raw bird eggs became Liu Zhenhan and Helen’s staple food.

Stone marrow, the crystallization of bird droppings buried underground, was an excellent source of vitamins; however, Helen could hardly swallow it, let alone raw fish and eggs.

Liu Zhenhan forced her to eat, which led to their first argument.

Helen eventually fell ill.

Her once vibrant red sacrificial robe was now stained with sweat spots that crystallized into salt.

Her original rosy lips were now blistered and dry.

Liu Zhenhan didn’t even dare to touch the few remaining juicy melons, he saved all of them for Helen.

The seeds were also saved; they were sundried and carefully wrapped up in Liu Zhenhan’s sock.

Every time Helen beckoned him to eat with her, Liu Zhenhan would pat his belly and say he already had his fill.

When Liu Zhenhan said this, he couldn’t help but lick his lips.

The two of them held on to each other, endlessly drifting at sea without the romanticism they’d imagined and none of the charming settings in novels.

Instead, they experienced unspeakable hardship.

The sweltering sun quickly evaporated all the water in their bodies.

The lack of food pushed their will and spirits to the absolute limit.

Every night was their happiest time.

Under the clean and refreshing sky, Liu Zhenhan held Helen in his arms, lying on a bamboo raft with a bird and a beast, together staring up at the stars.

It was the only comforting time of the day when the burning sun was not overhead.

The soft and elegant glow of the Night Pearl provided them the best lighting.

Every time Liu Zhenhan smelled the faint musky scent coming from Helen, he felt as if he was about to be blown away by the wind.

By the time they could see Narun Horn Strait, Helen’s sickness was weighing heavier. freēwēbnovel.com

Her beautiful and enchanting face was increasingly being replaced by exhaustion.

The only thing that remained constant was her resplendent, shiny, blood-red hair.

As the gigantic Sword-Holding God Statue of Narun Horn Strait gradually came into view, Helen was nearing death.

She lacked nutrition and had a weak constitution; she was completely enveloped by the shadow of death.

Liu Zhenhan was frantic, his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets in desperation, but he found no way to cure her.

He regretted leaving the island and embarked on this unknown return journey.

Helen’s smile became more serene.

Still, the familiar pleasant scent lingered around Liu Zhenhan’s nose.

Helen began to use her trembling hands to touch Liu Zhenhan’s face, and could only dryly call out “Richard” with her parched mouth.

Liu Zhenhan’s heart shattered into countless pieces.

What is the most painful thing in the world?

Is there anything more painful than the feeling of utter defeat when the one you love is slowly fading away in front of you, and you are completely helpless to prevent it?

Liu Zhenhan made many efforts, even daring to dive into the depths of the sea to try and find some seaweed to replenish Helen’s vitamins, but the water was too deep, and he dared not to divert his attention.

The Acidic Fish Eagle’s calls became increasingly frantic every day.

Liu Zhenhan knew it was a heartfelt induction triggered by its dying master, but he was absolutely helpless.

“Richard…..” Helen said weakly.

Liu Zhenhan’s eyes instantly filled with tears.

(Background music “Unconditionally for You” begins……)
