Chapter 725: Unlucky Wulang
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the beginning, when he parted ways with King Xiaoyao, Wang Wulang did not think that this was a test for him. In fact, when he encountered several relay stations in a row, he thought that King Xiaoyao was taking care of him and specially gave him the best path.
The resources were rich, the people were simple, and the roads were clear.
It was not until he saw a desert and walked for a day and night without seeing anyone that he realized that something was wrong.
After the naive period passed, Wang Wulang gradually realized that he had been tricked completely.
He was not even sure that he was on the right path, especially since the map was not trustworthy at all.
After traveling in the desert for countless days, Wang Wulang took out his last piece of dry biscuit and cut off a piece of cactus that he had finally encountered. He skillfully removed the thorns on the outside, took out a dagger, and simply peeled it before eating it.
In the desert, this was one of the most common plants. Other than this, there was not much water in anything else. Only this plant was filled with water and had various forms.
Some of them were crispy and refreshing, some were smooth, some were sweet, and some even carried an indescribable bitterness.
Of course, there were also some that were poisonous. Wang Wulang had been poisoned a few times. If not for the life-saving water Ah Yu had left for him, he might have already gone to see the King of Hell several times.
Wang Wulang did not touch the last water bag. It was the water Ah Yu had left for him and was also something he could use after going to Jiangsai.
Even though the water was exhausted three days ago, and his mouth had already cracked from thirst, and his stomach was burning, Wang Wulang had never thought of drinking it.
He had promised Ah Yu that he would bring it to Jiangsai and pour it into the river. He would never drink it in advance.
As a Big Brother, he had to fulfill this promise.
After eating the cactus, Wang Wulang did not eat the dry biscuits anymore. He only stuck out his tongue and licked it, treating it as a way to satisfy his cravings.
If Ah Yu was here and saw her fifth brother, who loved to eat and play, actually craving a tasteless dry biscuit, her heart would probably ache.
Wang Wulang ate the cactus and fed a piece to the strangely arrogant horse. He did not care how much Brother Horse resisted and stuffed it in forcefully.
“Brother Horse, although you don’t let me ride you now, at least we’re companions. Don’t worry, on account of you accompanying me, I won’t kill you and eat your meat. However, if you collapse because you starve to death, I, Wang Wulang, won’t be a Bodhisattva. I’ll definitely dismember you and eat you. At that time, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Wang Wulang muttered as he patted the horse’s clearly deflated stomach.
It was unknown if the horse understood or not. Although it was still a little disgusted, it still swallowed the cactus along with Wang Wulang’s hand.
The cactus was only the size of a palm and could not relieve much hunger.
Fortunately, they occasionally encountered some extremely dry grass on the way. The horses did not mind and ate them all.
Just like that, the man and horse endured another five days.
On this day, Wang Wulang was hiding under the horse’s stomach to take a nap. The horse snorted in boredom. Suddenly, the horse stomped its feet anxiously.
Seeing that it was about to step on Wang Wulang, Wang Wulang immediately turned around and got up, crawling out from under the horse’s stomach.
Seeing him come out, the horse immediately lowered its neck and gestured for Wang Wulang to sit on it.
“Brother Horse, what do you mean?” Wang Wulang was flattered.
Oh my god, the horse was actually letting him ride it.
He was so touched that he almost cried on the spot!
At this moment, an arrow suddenly shot over from the sky. Wang Wulang cursed and instantly jumped onto the horse’s back, shouting, “It’s the horse bandits. Brother Horse, run!”
Without waiting for his instructions, the horse raised its hooves and ran in a direction.
Wang Wulang’s vision darkened. “Brother Horse, we ran the wrong way.. That’s not the path we’re going to!”
