Chapter 13

The grass stem reflects in his pupils which are dominated by the black flames. Lu Chen growls deeply before rushing quickly to the only wooden bed in the cottage and lies on it.

The wooden bed looks simple, but neat. There is bedding stacked at the top of the bed. It isnt very clear where Lu Chen touched the bed at but the entire bed flips over after a low rumble, sending him down beneath the bed. In an instant, this straw cottage plunges into silence. In the emptiness, not a single sound is made.

While he is still tumbling in midair, Lu Chen who is already in excruciating pain from the black flames couldnt help but roar deeply. Complete darkness appears before him. As his body continues to fall downwards uncontrollably, he suddenly strikes his heart violently with his right hand.

No sound and no motion. There doesnt seem to be a single ripple in the darkness. However, the figure that was falling downwards in the darkness with black flames scorching his flesh suddenly disappears.

Just like that, disappearing in midair!

In the next instant, a gray light illuminates Lu Chens sight. A moment later, his body crashes heavily onto the floor and a muffled thump could be heard.

The black flame is still burning heartlessly on his body of blood and flesh. Every single inch of his body is charred black and he is already on the verge of being reduced to a pile of ashes. In this instant, his surrounding has turned into a mysterious chamber which barely had the length and width of six meters and a height of three meters.

The surroundings look like an incredibly thick log which is connected together as one. The log is mottled and the ancientness of it is apparent, as though it has passed through countless eons. At the same time, enveloped by a green mist, the wooden walls look slightly blurry. This location seem to be a hollow of an ancient tree.

In this hollow, there is barely two meters or so of empty space. In the middle, there is a puddle of water which takes up half of the space while the rest of it is solid land. In the puddle of water, there is a glint of emerald in the clear water. The water is still, not moving in the slightest. It is difficult to gauge its depth with just a single sight. The water looks reminiscent of a crystal clear jasper stone. Just that, an incredibly intense and refreshing aura of vitality seems to be emitting from the puddle of clear water.

At this moment, the land Lu Chen falls on isnt too far away from the puddle. After being incinerated by black flames, he doesnt even possess the strength to stand up at this instant. Even so, lying on the floor, he struggles with all his might and rolls his body. Turning two rounds, huala, his entire body falls into the water.

Although he came slightly later than he did yesterday, Old Ma still didnt seem to be starting business soon. The door to the tavern is shut. However, to Lu Chen, this isnt a problem. He walks to the door, peng peng, he knocks twice before laughing, Old Ma, time to open up for business.

After a short moment, footsteps resound in the room as someone walks to the back of the door. Then, with a creaking sound, the door opens. Old Mas slightly plump body reveals from within.

Lu Chen smiles as he pats Old Mas shoulders. He says, I am hungry. Cook something for me. After which, he walks past him. However, from behind, Old Ma coughs lightly.

Lu Chens gaze solidifies as he scans the tavern. Then, he spots another figure sitting by another table in front in this early morning.

From his appearance, he seems to be an elder in his fifties. His hair is dyed white and there is a warm smile on his face. He even nods his head upon catching sight of Lu Chen.

Old Ma closes the door from his back and latches the bolt. Then, he walks to Lu Chens side and softly speaks, Sentinel Liu only arrived here this morning.

Lu Chen nods his head. He walks over to the elder and grins. From the looks of it, their relationship seems to be quite close. He even pats the elders shoulders and says, Old Liu, I thought you would only come once a year. I remember it has only been half a year since you last came. Why, do you miss me?

Hahahaha This old man surnamed Liu seems very amiable. He smiles towards Lu Chen and says, Little Lu, you sure know how to joke. However, I am here to conduct an inspection under the orders of Hall Master Xue, so I took this opportunity to come by and meet the both of you.

For me, although it sounds weird, the author used -> 3.33meters.

For area, it should have been .

But since he used length instead of area, I will stick with the authors usage of words.
