Chapter 20: GENERAL TANG
The beast slammed heavily once again on the shelter causing some stones and dust to fall. Fear gripped Futian unknowingly.
Another clash proceeded causing the shelter to blow off. The impact didn't let Futian off easily as he too was blown away by the impact.
" Damn it!" Futian cursed! This time the pain was even more extreme. One arm and leg had been broken with large amounts of blood oozing out. Prior to that! The beasts began their assault once more. A great feeling of thirst eloped.
This damn quest is just too exhausting and life taking. I lost an arm and leg. What exactly does this damn system want to do.
Futian stood up on one leg as he hoped in great pain. Beads that should have been wetting his body would just vaporise due to the intense amounts of heat. Pain, thirst, dehydration kept surging up again and again.
The beasts brought a killing blow as they attacked from either side.
Ten metres! Nine metres! Eight metres! Seven meters!
Am I really going to die from this damn area?
Six metres! Five metres! Four metres!
But no miracle happened! The feeling of death was getting closer.
Three meters! Two meters!
I hate this feeling!
One metre!
Boom!
<[ Congratulations! Host has successfully completed daily quest! ]>
" Fu*k you bit*h!" Futian cursed loudly his body greatly covered in sweat. This experience had been much more life threatening than the previous experiences.

The respondent rays of the sun shone brightly from the Eastern horizon. The streets of the Imperial city were bustling with open shops,taverns and pavilions. Vendors were moving from time to time with their goods across the streets. Diviners and fortune tellers did not miss out in the show.
Futian woke up seemingly tired yet feeling refreshed with stamina. The court yard was quiet with no sign of life. Futian got up from his sleep and went on to have a shower.
Getting dressed in navy blue robes. He moved his sword into the inventory before heading out. The silence in the area made him from a little. He moved towards Big Brother's Manor which Happened to be silent as usual.
" Big Brother!"
" " no comment
" " Big Brother
Silence!
A sudden feeling of loss caught him up. A feeling that something usual had happened. Something he never wanted to happen. His strength betrayed him.
He slowly pushed the door which opened wide. The shelves were still intact as usual. The only missing things were the weapons on the weapon rack Big brother showed him yesterday.
In the study room was a ring and piece of paper placed beautifully. Futian slowly moved towards it and slowly picked up the piece of paper.
{ BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS. YOU SHOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT WE ARE NO LONGER IN THIS PLACE. YOUR MOTHER WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY IF SHE KNEW HOW FAR YOU HAVE GROWN.

YOU HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BUT I BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT. KEEP THE JADE PENDANT YOU HAVE WITH YOU SAFE. DON'T LOSE IT.
~ GENERAL TANG!
ADDRESSED TO YOUNG MASTER FUTIAN!}
With that, Futian let out a long sigh and he looked towards the imperial city. He had lost his family that had brought him up. He felt like hundreds of years had passed in a moment.
" Times pass, seasons Change and yet the journey doesn't seem like it will soon come to an end. " Futian couldn't help but lament.
