WASTELAND

"Damn it! " A roar sounded out like thunder that struck the earth. A little child was stuck on a quicksand that's eating him alive and twenty meters away from him was an enormous crocodile which was also struggling to get out of the mud. But it was all in vain as the more they struggle the faster they sink.

' To think that I would fall into this kind of trap! Who the hell would have thought, that I a demon feared by everyone was being slowly devoured by a mud! ' Qin furiously lamented as he think of ways to get out from this predicament that he is in. But he couldn't even use his power to move an inch, much less get away from this mud like quicksand .

As Qin kept struggling for a way to break free, he felt it's all for naught for he started to sink faster than before. ' Holy shit! Am I really just going to die right here?'

This made him very dispirited again, and for the first time within his life as a "human" he felt helpless and anger for not growing quickly to explore the world more.

So with a dispirited face that looks like a general that was betrayed by his soldiers. Qin gave up on struggling and just face his incoming doom. But he's still cursing Death for his unfortunate death.

.... About thirty minutes later...

Qin Wentian's head was the only thing that you can see. Aside from his black hair that turned like the color of mud. ' Looks like I'm just gonna die in this nameless mountain of some sort. Can't even kill someone and now I'm gonna be sent back to that shit hole!'

Then with an over dramatic expression, Qin made wishes that was really mess up, or in short his "unfulfilled dreams".

Fifteen meters away from him, a man with this sort of typical farmer clothes with a axe and a hand bag was cautiously walking towards the noise that he heard ten minutes ago. He was shocked and startled by the scream he heard! It's like a pig being slaughtered. That scream woke him up from his early afternoon nap him. But he clearly heard that it's a voice of a child of about six to ten year old and nor some pig being slaughtered. He thought ' Maybe another poor child was being beaten up again.

So without further ado he picked up his trusty newly sharpened axe and his hand bag within his house not that far away from here. He walk with caution as he didn't dare underestimate the dnagers of these peaceful forests and mountains.

Qin Wentian's lips was already sealed by dirt was, the only way he can think about not dying quickly is for looking at the sky. At least maybe someone from this world would help him get out of this mud eating thing.

Then he heard footsteps! And he deduced that by the sound of the footsteps it could be potentially be a human being. Qin Wentian is very good at observing his sorroundings as a very mad hunter in the realms beyond that's a must skill.

Besides that, for how many times have he fought with humans he almost was as familiar with them just like they're his own kins. So by his "long" experience, he could tell that it's a human.

Then there he saw a middle aged "ragged" clothed human with an axe on his hand coming towards him. This made Qin Wentian surprised but his mind immediately turned into another level of danger escape plan. Even though from his situation he couldn't even move an inch much less escape so the Demon who holds mercy of planets was now at the mercy of a certain stranger.

He doesn't know of this human "boy" had nefarious thoughts or good intentions. Because of his long experience dealing against this pieces of shits, Qin felt that he already knew them well enough. They are racist and evil even to their own kind much less those of a different race.

Completely forgetting that he himself was currently in a certain small human child container.

While John was still trying to track the scream from earlier, he was almost hugging the small river. Not that he's not afraid of crocodiles but he's more afraid of the Wolf packs roaming this place.

Never thought that that scream came from a certain child trapped in a quicksand near the riverbank. Many meters away from the child a huge crocodile tile can only be seen from the surface.

he was shocked! Without much time to think he crept cautiously near the quick sand but mud and stretch his arm with his axe towards Qin and said. "Boy hold on to this axe!"

When Qin heard what the man said he was first quite startled his he doesn't have any fuckin clue on what this dude said. But upon seeing the axe was being pointed at him he thought that the man would kill him but when he look at the eyes of the human man, he saw genuine worry and no hint of malice. Then he thought of the other way around which was for the man is trying to help him get out of this situation.

When Qin felt that he could still move his arm, he immediately held the axe tightly. Then he saw the man made agood amount of pull.

Then Qin flew out of the mud like a flying ball. When Qin and the man saw him came out of the mud they're overjoyed. But just as Qin was going to smile his head hit a tree that was blocking his way. Planting himself with face first onto the trunk of the tree. But luckily he slid down, if he was really got planted on a tree then he would just prefer to die than be shamed again by mother nature.

John rushed towards Qin as he was quite worried if he's hurt. When John got their he saw Qin with a bloody forehead looking at John with a murderous expression.

With an awkward smile, John introduced himself. " Hi my name is John."

Which of course Qin didn't understand. With no much thought about it he presume that the middle aged man was trying to introduce himself. So with a smile that's like a blooming chrysanthemum, Qin also introduce himself by saying his full name.

In which John successfully said again. Making Qin a it surprised.

Upon seeing the surprise expression of Qin Wentian. John thought that maybe he got it wrong. " Did I say it wrongly?"

" No." He never expected that this guy knew demon language! Hah! Who've thought that hell met a demon disguised as a human!

Though still filled with mud Qin was full of excitement. He didn't think that the first guy he found on this shit hole turned out ot be a demon in human disguise.

Though also makes him worried a she don't even know what will happen to him since apparently he's already considered human.

After resting for quite a bit, Qin Wentian replenished his strength, though just enough for him to walk slowly.

Which of course John the "demon" understands. As this muds in these forested areas were known to sapped out strength of the people they captured.

And when the new era was formed most farmers and wandering adventurists were killed by them. Also some assholic beast with intelligence sometimes wanders these particular parts of the land.

If lucky they find a half dead free food, if unlucky then they'll become the free food. Though most of these kind of beast are the scavenger and lazy types. Since most of the animals could just pick up some farmers and civilians in the town.

Though they'll have to stay in incognito for months, as dozens of hot blooded fools seeks to hunt them out and present their heads to the taverns for measly coins.

Treading the forest area carefully John and Qin finally came to John's humble home when it is almost nighttime.

The John's humble house was right in the middle of a corn field and some cows. It is a two story high house with a barn next to it, and a huge wagon or some sort of medieval wagon, next to them was a well.

The stuff where you put the damn goods. That's it, huge and spacious inside, covered with some sort of cloth.

It was pulled by two horses, which were eating happily at a grassy place. The two horses have some traits uncommon to the other "earth" horses.

One was that the two horses have some sort metal like armor covering their whole body, they are like warhorses ready for the upcoming war . The second one is that these two have two horns sticking on their heads, these horns are identical to a bull's horn. These horses are calmly eating their grass, yet when they passed these two seemingly calm steeds neighs wildly and started to charge towards his direction giving Qin quite the surprise.

John was also surprised and just as he was about to swing his axe out to calm these horses of his out. Suddenly these two horses halted their charges and went back to eating their grass happily as if nothing happened. Yet John who was at the front swore under his breath that he just felt an overwhelming killing intent by the split second.

Upon entering the house, Qin find it spacious and not cramped with items. The house was also tidy, Qin never expected it to be tidy, neat, and clean, after all the human camps that he raided back in the demon cleaning regiments are all filled with filth and miscellaneous items. The only thing that maybe out of place was a huge dog calmly gazing at Qin Wentian.

As if curious at the stranger stepping on its home. Especially when he's full of filth, the mud have already hardened to the point that they break in every step of Qin. The dog just watch him get inside. Though it should be different if there's no one variable there, John its master. Since John invited the little boy then... it'll not bite it to death.

"The bathroom was next to the kitchen, little boy Qin." John patted his head with a smile, as his hands pointed at the direction near the kitchen.

Qin Wentian just snorted before arrogantly walking towards the bathroom. When he entered the bathroom the first thing he notice is the out of place was a knife!

There's a knife in the bathroom! Though puzzled, Qin just shrugged and started to fill the tub with water from a blue drum nearby. While filling it Qin couldn't help but lament on his predicament right now. Just how many days have passed since he was sealed into a human form, and he's already suffering.

After filling the tub just enough to not spill, Qin tested the water using his muddied before entering it. Immediately the whole tub spilled while a surprised Win watch it happen.

The water was cold, but he didn't have the luxury to think about it as he wants to take off the dirt stuck in his whole body. Especially down there, it's already uncomfortable for him even if he was a demon.

Much less becoming a little human boy. While he scrub his whole body with a brush he found from somewhere within the bathroom. He couldn't help but reminiscent about his survival in becoming a sealed demon in a human body.

After all even with the "crazy" little brat he saw up the mountain was as powerful as a Peak Fifth Stage Holy King. This greatly surprised Qin Wentian as he greatly underestimate this plane's level boundary. Most planes after all could only house two to five Holy Kings, and if there's more Holy Kings in that plane than it should have, then all the Holy Kings in that plane would suffer a very heavy backlash that withe either injured them deeply as the heaviest punishment or become banned to the world.

Either of the two was already enough a life of a Holy King very miserable as being injured "deeply" is just the short word for life origin injury which would hinder the Holy King into advancing smoothly to the next level. Being banned was literally all creatures living inside the plane would be hostile to you and the local Holy Kings would hunt you down to appease the Planar Consciousness so some heavenly rewards would be given to them.

That's the punishment for the alien Kings, if it was a local one then either one or two of them left the world to build their own domain or kill a Holy King to put back the quota.

And seeing a little brat at the Holy King just appearing right in front of him was a shock for Qin Wentian. Especially when you think of it. That old of a Holy King was very special and his parents should be powerful human powerhouse with their own domains and Universe Rule understanding.

After scrubbing himself off the mud stuck in his body Qin Wentian shamelessly walk out of the bathroom with his protected area dangling between his legs. John who was drinking a cup of coffee immediately spit the coffee while violently coughing.

He was stupefied by what Qin just did. Walking out of the bathroom without a towel and looked at John as if he was an idiot. This made John felt insulted in some way, he didn't know why but the child's stare made him very pissed off for some reason.

The dog also looked at John with the same eyes before going back to sleep. As if saying never seen one to John, Qin was surprised by the reaction of this dog, as he can already tell from the not that abundant spiritual and demonic qi within the air. So he is very surprised upon
