The Dark King – Chapter 302

Splitty seemed to be frightened as it was suddenly covered by the iron cage. It shook its scythes in anger. After several rounds of clanking sounds the iron cage ruptured.

Dudian’s mouth twitched as he wryly smiled.

He slowly retreated so that splitty wouldn’t vent its anger on him. However it seems splitty wasn’t angry at him. It just cut off the cage and went out.

Dudian was relieved as he went through the promenade into the room. It was a storage room with several boxes on top of each other. He looked around as he saw the table in the room covered by the spider webs. There was an oil lamp on the desk.

Dudian opened the drawer below the desk. A striped snake jumped out of it.

Dudian’s hands were lightning fast as he grabbed its tail and pulled it into two. He threw the dead body of the snake to the other side of the wall.

Splitty sensed the smell of the blood and picked it up to eat.

Dudian opened another drawer. There was a book with black cover. The contents were written in strange fonts. It was similar to the font used within the giant wall but there were differences.

Dudian picked it up to look at it closely. The words were written densely so he wasn’t understanding anything.

“It’s neither English nor Chinese…Is it a language from some other country?” Dudian frowned as he turned few pages. He put it away. Afterwards he was planning to see if there is any record about this language in the chip.

Dudian checked to see if anything else was left behind. He was a bit disappointed. Dudian turned to look at splitty. It was staring back at Dudian as it gentle rubbed its scythes.

“I have to find a way to trap this little guy. It’s just impossible to kill it. If I could communicate with Old Fulin then I could get a good cage and lock it inside. But temporarily there is no way to contact him. I have to get back but I have to help it to hunt too. This way splitty would not be anxious … ”

He sighed as he rubbed his fingers. Dudian was thinking about a solution.

Dudian sighed. He could only compromise with the splitty. He couldn’t trap it even if he wanted. Although it was possible but the conditions were not ripe yet.

“The Holy Church wouldn’t find it so early. Even if they did they wouldn’t be able to capture it in the first try. However if they capture splitty then the only choice would be to go outside the giant wall to hunt the adult splitter.” Dudian made up his mind as he came to the decision.

Splitty was lightly shaking like a seaweed. It seems that splitty was dozing off. Dudian picked up the book and slowly bypassed it. He went out of the underground laboratory and began to ran out of the building.

Bang! Splitty also jumped out of the basement but it fall back as the place crashed.

Dudian was running in one direction.

In about few minutes Dudian looked back to see splitty chasing after him.

Dudian wasn’t surprised. If he tried to compete with the splitty he would never be able to win. However he used terrain to his advantage.

A wolf appeared on his way. It was extremely tall for a normal wolf. Almost as big as a calf. It’s body was stenching in sweat.

The mutated wolf saw Dudian and rushed over as it wailed.

It leaped over at Dudian. However Dudian’s punch hit its jaw and break the jawbone.

Dudian didn’t stop but grabbed its tail as he moved forward. He constantly sensed the smells as he followed into the direction of a small lake. The lake’s waters were turbid. A faint shadow was swimming in the lake.

Dudian raised the wolf and crushed its head as he kicked it. After killing it he whipped its body on the ground. Its bones were thoroughly crashed as the blood began to ooze out.

Dudian saw the shadow move towards them as it seemed to sense the smell of the blood.

Dudian shook the mutant wolf as he let its blood spill onto the lake.

Splitty also caught up.

Dudian raised the corpse of the mutant wolf as he showed it to splitty. As it was getting close he threw it to the lake.

Splitty stopped as it stood still in front of the lake.

Dudian slowly retreated for a few steps as he observed the splitty.

Kacha! Kacha!

The wolf’s corpse fell into the lake. The creatures hidden within the lake attacked it and churning sounds of bones echoed out. It had fiercely snatched the wolf corpse. Occasionally black scales of a large tail would burst out from the top of the lake creating big waves.

It seems that there were more than one of those creatures within the lake. The blood began to flow and redden the waters.

Splitty was stimulated by the strong smell of the blood. It directly jumped into the lake as its scythes began to stab around. The density of the blood in the water increased. Apparently splitty was killing and cutting the creatures.

Dudian was both relieved and shocked as he saw the scene. He didn’t think that splitty wouldn’t be afraid of the water. It had thin wings which could support its flight for small time. In short this monster could survive in almost all three habitats.

Whoosh!

He took the opportunity to leave the place.

The creatures at the bottom of the lake continued to gather over.

Splitty was thumping down as it killed the mutant creatures that were scrambling to kill it. Soon almost ten meters of area around splitty was colored bright red. The bloody waves surged.

“I don’t think the creatures in the lake could be used for long time to contain splitty. I have to eliminate my smell in order to get rid of it.” After a few kilometers he picked up large leaves and cleaned the blood of the previous young splitter off his body. He rolled the leaves so that he could lure the splitty using this smell.

Dudian pulled out weeds as he kept running. He used them to rub off the rest of the blood. Moreover the odor of the juice scattered from the weeds would be able to cover the smell of blood.

Dudian looked back after running for ten miles. Splitty was not chasing him. He looked around and found rotten mud. There were few swamp crocodiles on the surface. He ignored them as he closed into the swamp and used the mud to smear on his own body. One of the crocodile’s swam over. It’s body was about five meters long but it seemed petite and cute in comparison to the mutated crocodiles from the swamp outside the giant wall.

Dudian didn’t hesitate to reach out to the crocodile that was close to him.

The crocodile opened its mouth to try to bite Dudian.

However Dudian had long been prepared for its attack.

The crocodile bit onto empty air as Dudian had disappeared in a lightning speed.

Dudian didn’t show mercy as he clung to the front of its mouth and fiercely pulled it. He dragged the crocodile to the shore. One of his hands seized its jaw and ruthlessly broke it apart.

Puff! The crocodile wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to bite him but its mouth was broken and blood spattered out.

Crocodile’s body twisted in pain.

Dudian smashed on its head. He used both hands as he grabbed onto its jaw and twisted it. It’s head was ripped off and the crocodile died on spot.

Dudian didn’t hesitate to take the blood and smear it on his body to cover up his smell. Afterwards he abandoned the crocodile’s body and recalled the previous route as he took the reference of the initial fortress they had seen. Giant wall was in south so the residential district should be in north.

He ran all the way.

“I’m covered in mud and blood of the crocodile. Splitty shouldn’t be able to find me for a while.” Dudian’s eyes lit up: “I can only move past directly to the city. I don’t have time for 7 days of check ups. If I do that Holy Church would find out that I have some kind of relation to the problems. They would block the death passage and link everything back to me. I gotta head back and trouble Old Fulin to give testimony to prove that I have been at Ryan castle …” Dudian thought about situation as he run.

It didn’t take long before he reached the fortress.

“According to the previous news from the military newspaper the barbarians are attacking Hongshan and Syracuse forts. Although they can’t bypass them but right now they must be heavily guarded. This desert fortress should be left with fewer troops.” Dudian looked at the fortress while he lurked nearby. He sniffed the air.

In about half a minute later he rushed out from the bushes. Everything was as he had expected.

He had found a pit in the vicinity before he came to the fortress. He used the rain water to clean off the blood and mud form his body. He did so not to cause the attention of the guards of the fortress. However the radiation content of his body was going to raise because of it.
