Chapter 5 Eat Or Be Eaten

Fang slowly and carefully unzipped the top part of his tracksuit which was a black jacket in fear of agitating his wound, the wound was less serious than what Fang had anticipated. The wound was nothing more than a light flesh wound but the real worrying thing was the excessive blood loss.

To stop the excessive blood loss Fang removed his jacket and folded it nearly before using the arms of the jacket to tightly wrap and tie the jacket tightly around his chest in an attempt to temporarily stop the bleeding, after stopping the excessive blood loss Fang heaved a bitter sigh.

Fang was now complete naked from the ground up and his jacket that was drenched in blood giving off a heavy stench of blood that would undoubtedly attract the attention of the vicious beast that roamed the forest.

Fang contemplated on whether to move or climb up the trees to avoid the many land creatures that seemed to possess extraordinary senses when compared to the tree and bird monsters that were more focused on eyesight rather than heighten sense but that didn't mean they were less dangerous than the land beasts in any way.

After a long while of pondering and countless amounts simulations that ended in his death appeared in his mind, he decided to stay at his current location to recuperate and try to recover some strength, after finally being able to let down his guard as he strongly believed that other beasts wouldn't risk coming into the giant spider's territory just because it caught the scent of fresh blood or else they may end up being made into a meal by the spiders instead.

Fang turned his head side to stare inside the cave through the narrow entrance and saw that the flames had died out leaving only scorched earth as a way of showing its tremendously destructive nature, on the scorched earth lay countless spider corpses that were covered in burn marks with some of them having been turned into nothing but a pile of charcoal.

Fang stood up after much struggling that came from his back, front and sides as well as a bunch of other places on his body which made standing up let alone walking a very straining task, to make matters worse after spending a whole day consuming energy without replenishing anything caused his stomach to growl indicating that he was really hungry and his throat was as try as a river during a drought.

Fang practically dragged his aching body and squeezed through the traps once again, midway through the narrow entrance Fang's eyes caught the sight of a sharp-pointed rock that occasionally dripped the droplet of blood, seeing the bloody rock he couldn't help himself and stretched out his left hand to wipe a bit of blood that covered the rock.

Fang used his index finger to wipe the blood off the rock, the blood was a bit sticky clearly showing that the blood has been on the rock for quite a while and if it stayed a bit longer it would dry and forever paint the rock blood red.

Fang smeared blood on his index finger against the narrow entrance walls before continuing to squeeze through the narrow cave entrance, after re-entering the cave that was filled with the smell of burnt corpses. Fang's black and white snickers slowly stepped on scorched earth leaving deep footprints behind, Fang sluggishly dragged his body toward a spider corpse that was the size of a ten-year-old child.

The spider corpse suffered heavy burn injuries and released a horrid smell, on normal occasions, Fang wouldn't even approach the damn thing. Fang has touched the spider's exoskeleton and immediately a chill ran up his spin, the exoskeleton was cold which was very strange considering that it lost its life in the hands of fire, Fang grabbed the joint gaps on its exoskeleton and used every fibre of muscle tissue in his entire body to rip-off one of its limbs.

The limb gave off a putrid stench that stang deep into his nostrils, Fang directly ignored all the minor details and bit into the tender flesh underneath its exoskeleton. The flesh was between the borders of being burnt and raw but none of that mattered to Fang at the moment as his wide-opened mouth revealed his signature sharp fangs crazily dug deep the spider's flesh ripping out a mouthful of meat every time and used the spiders extremely bitter blood to quench his thirst.

Loud chewing noises reverberated throughout the dark empty cave, the noises lasted a long time before gradually dissipating. Fang played on his back against the scorched earth patting loudly with the fleshless exoskeletal leg laying next to him "never in my life had I thought that I'd do something so revolting" Fang released a helpless sigh cause he knew very well that in the wilderness you have to be willing to eat anything.

This day Fang went through great mental torment but after his hunger was satisfied his mind became clear and his sense of reasoning returned, Fang secretly gazed at the spider corpse that lay quite a distance from his body as his mind drifted off into the clouds with Mr Huang's ramen noodles being the only thing that was in the head "I want a hot bowl of boss Huang's delicious noodles in my stomach this right now" Fang kept staring at the dark cave ceiling as a single tear shed out of his eye socket.
