�He�s dead.�

* * *

Luxi River1 was a large river that circled Mount Longhu.

The river was clear and deep, with no strong currents, so fishermen who lived near the area would float their rafts to catch fish.

The scenery of Mount Longhu as viewed from Luxi River was truly picturesque, resulting in many poets and visitors coming to witness it out.

However, on this day, there were no fishermen or people who came to enjoy the scenery.

This was due to the fact that the weather had been bad since the morning, raining heavily all day.

From the cliffs connected to Luxi River, rainwater poured down like a waterfall. Because of this, the usually placid waters of Luxi River flowed as ferociously as a raging bull.

Launching a raft on such a day was nothing short of a suicide attempt, so people refrained from even approaching the Luxi River.

Kwakwakwa!

The towering cliffs turned into a gigantic waterfall, gushing out an enormous volume of water. However, not all of the cliffs were wet.

Bizarrely enough, not a single droplet of water fell on a deeply indented area at the bottom of the cliff.

At the bottom of the indented cliff, There was a tiny hole, just large enough to fit a finger. Something seemed to wriggle in the hole, and soon enough, a figure emerged.

It was a tiny snake, about the thickness of a child�s finger.

Its scales were strangely a burning red color.

The snake stuck its head out, looked left and right, and then slithered out completely.

Pfssss!

Immediately afterward, the hole it came out of crumbled like sand, and a hand popped out, followed by a face and shoulders covered in dirt.

�Hoo!�

The man knelt on the ground, taking in ragged breaths.

The red snake slithered up the man�s arm and coiled itself.

The man, after catching his breath for a moment, washed his face and hair in the cascading waterfall.

As the dirt washed away, his true appearance was revealed.

There was only one man in all the world with such pure white skin and a beautiful face.�

Pyo-wol.�

He had finally come out of the world.

And, he wasn�t the only one to have made it out.

�Heua!�

�I, Is it the outside?�

�We survived.�

Following him, a dozen men were emerging from the narrow cave. JrNovels.com
