Reborn into A Slash Game-Chapter 12 - I'm a Soft-hearted Person!

Chapter 12 - I’m a Soft-hearted Person!

Suo Fei didn’t die. It wasn’t that he suddenly possessed superhuman strength that allowed him to kill Samael in a flash. It was only that Samael relaxed his bite on him.

Suo Fei was confused. Although Samael was still considered a minor, it would not be for long. His conscience and whatnots had long been fed to the dogs. How could it be possible for him to let him keep his life?

However, Suo Fei was already extremely happy that he could survive. Why would he dare to ask?

Samael stared at him motionlessly which caused him to suddenly shiver. He quickly adjusted his facial expression and tried to appear as someone who had a deep sense of righteousness and let bygones be bygones. What did it matter if he drank some blood? It was truly an expression of someone who would do anything for his brother.

Unfortunately, he only appeared to have a stiff expression in Samael’s eyes, a face that had a mocking, false smile. The demon’s purple eyes darkened to a deep indigo hue.

Suo Fei: Damn, someone please teach me how to act like a soft-hearted person!

He couldn’t pretend to be a Bodhisattva, so he figured that he should just drop the act. Suo Fei knew perfectly well the tragedy of trying to scheme but ending up being bitten in the end. Compared to this kind of unskilled people, he would rather prove his loyalty through action.

Although he didn’t know why Samael didn’t suck him dry, Suo Fei knew that Samael needed more blood as the consumption was high when the Asura Blade was activated for the first time. Initially, Suo Fei’s HP was close to zero and presumably, Samael was not any better.

Earlier after Suo Fei hacked the Frostflame Beast, he immediately drank its blood to restore his vitality. But now, the beast had already been picked clean by him and his cute, gluttonous pet. Fortunately, there was still a beast leg in his interspatial bag. He hastily took it out to declare his loyalty.

Of course, Suo Fei was not stupid enough to let Samael recognise where the beast leg came from. Luckily, he had separated the meat from its fur earlier to store it conveniently. Even if he took out the meat, not even the Frostflame Beast would recognise it as its own leg, let alone Samael.

The blood of the Frostflame beast was pure white. With a quick glance, it looked just like milk which was why Suo Fei was able to dismember it calmly. There was not any sense of bloodiness. He, like a lackey, grabbed a container from his interspatial bag, took out a large glass brimming with milk (beast blood) from it and passed it to Samael, “Here, have some beast blood.”

Samael’s sense of smell was extremely accurate. He was able to determine that not only was it a beast’s blood, it was also the blood of a seventh-grade ferocious beast, precisely, the Frostflame Beast. Looking around the empty space and the elf in front of him, it was obvious where the dead ferocious beast had gone.

He gave Suo Fei an intense look before he took the blood with a straight face and downed it in one gulp. Suo Fei sighed with relief in his heart. By the glance just now, he thought that the matter of him feathering his own nest had been exposed, but fortunately, Samael didn’t seem to discover anything.

Suo Fei quickly offered another large cup of beast blood. The two sat in silence. After drinking three large glasses, the cute lil’ pet crouching beside him couldn’t endure it. It cried out to Suo Fei and rubbed itself against his legs.

Suo Fei patted his head: “Come on, you can’t drink this!”

Cute lil’ pet: This divine beast will drink even if it costs my life, you foolish servant!

Seeing that Suo Fei was unmoved, it rubbed itself against him even harder. In the end, it bit him hard. Suo Fei was filled with pain and he was slightly furious. He turned to glare at the little cub, and accused it with his eyes, ‘You have eaten a whole city, and you’re still greedy!

Cute lil’ pet: You’re the greedy one! Greedy every day, greedy every night… Oh, foolish servant, this divine beast doesn’t care about you! If you die early, as master and servant, this divine beast will only observe a moment of silence for you!

After roaring, the cute lil’ pet run for its life. Suo Fei caught it with his quick hands and didn’t let it escape. It got mad and tussled with Suo Fei. Samael looked with cold detachment at the two dolts and said, “It’s getting late.” This was the first time Samael had spoken. Suo Fei was stunned, and he inwardly praised his voice — so magnetic and alluring. The character he chose was indeed the imposing ultimate gong.

Wait…. It’s. getting. late?!

Suddenly, Suo Fei’s white and delicate face went ghastly pale.

Holy- How could he forget!

This was the Knuhl Forest, the legendary Myriad Poison Forest!

Knuhl Forest had long been renowned in Yalance. It covered a vast expanse of area rich in natural resources and bordered on the territories of the Humans, Beastkins, Dwarves, and Trolls, the four races existing side by side. For adventurers, the Knuhl Forest was the land of their dreams, but it was also their nightmare.

During the day, the jungle appears calm and peaceful, just like an ordinary forest. But only on the surface. In reality, there were countless high-grade ferocious beasts hidden behind the shadows of the forest. A little carelessness may cause one to become food for the beasts.

This was not the most life-threatening factor. Although ferocious beasts were frightening, all parts of their body were of much value. Hence, they were the capture target of adventurers. However, at night, when the sky was completely dark, the originally ordinary plants would emit poisonous gases, spreading throughout the whole forest.

Normally, miasma would not be terrifying. A grandmaster apothecary in Yalance could concoct all sorts of antidote. Just collect some forest miasma. Even if the miasma was heaven-defying, the numerous apothecaries would not be daunted. If that’s what you’re thinking, then you’re too young, too simple. The reason why Knuhl Forest was such a heaven-defying place was that all the plants emit different kinds of miasma.

How many different kinds? Perhaps you can concoct hundreds or even thousands of antidotes but there would still be another problem: The gas here will mix together, and form new kinds of gases.

So, how many kinds of miasmas were there in the Knuhl Forest? As many as the stars in the heavens! No matter how outstanding the apothecary was, he would only be helpless when confronting this jungle. Therefore, the Knuhl Forest was also known as the Myriad Poison Forest.

It was already late in the afternoon. Once it gets dark, life would not be guaranteed.

Although the night in Knuhl Forest was terrifying, there were still places to lodge for the night. It should be known that there are a lot of ferocious animals in Knuhl Forest. Since they could stay here for the entire day, naturally they could also survive the perilous night.

At night, they would hide inside a naturally-formed underground cave. It was unknown how it came to be, but this cave had an ingenious design. During the day, there would be many passageways to enter the cave, but when night fell, there will be some kind of liquid falling from above the cave, forming a water curtain. This water curtain would form a barrier against the miasma at night, preserving the clean air inside the cave and creating a utopian refuge.

Suo Fei could not remember how he controlled Samael in the game to find the cave. In fact, playing the game was very different from now. There was a map back then, but he didn’t have one at this moment. But Suo Fei was not worried. The foodie in his grasp was born and bred in the Knuhl Forest. To survive up until now, it definitely knew the way to the cave.

Without further ado, Suo Fei released the cute lil’ pet and let it lead the way. He then turned to Samael and said, “Come with me.” Samael stared at him, revealing no emotions in his purple eyes.

Suo Fei was confused for a while, then he understood. At the moment, Samael was not aware of the dangers of the Knuhl Forest and this version of Samael had long been inundated by the world’s malice. How could he trust others easily? Suo Fei did not possess a glib tongue. How could he possibly persuade him? He could not leave him alone either. So, he stumblingly persuaded, “Here, it’s dangerous at night. Follow me, I know where it’s safe.”

Samael stood perfectly still and continued staring at him. Suo Fei wanted to say more, but his cute lil’ pet gestured, I don’t have time for your chatter. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to catch up!

Then, the little thing started running madly. Suo Fei anxiously glanced at it. If they were unable to keep up with it, they might end up losing their lives here.

Looking back at the poker-faced Samael, Suo Fei lost his patience. Since persuasion didn’t seem to work, he reached out his hand in hopes of dragging Samael away. Before he even touched him, his hand was already mercilessly pushed away.

Suo Fei depressingly clutched his hands. On hind thoughts, he felt that he was worrying in vain. Samael absolutely would not die here. Instead of worrying about him, he should worry about his own life! After rationalising, Suo Fei wanted to follow his cute lil’ pet which had run away. But when he turned around, he was dumbfounded.

Bloody hell! It was only a while, but the little cub already was like a star in the sky!

Did you have to run so fast? Did you have to be so disloyal? This goddamn pet! It was actually so merciless that it could even leave its master behind!

It’s so unfair. Wasn’t it that all the transmigrators in novels have wholeheartedly loyal and devoted pets? Why was it that he got an ingrate? It even gobbled up so many cakes and a whole mountain of beast meat!

Suo Fei was raging mad that he had to vent out his anger. After venting out, he realised a problem. What should he do? His cute lil’ pet had run away. How could he get to the cave?

Did he dare not to enter the cave? How miserable would his death be if he waited for the miasma to permeate the air?

This was impossible. According to the plot, Sofey Evans would not die here. He would flit through the territory of all races and be oppressed, bullied and abused… Ptooey! He was Suo Fei, not Sofey Evans.

Wait a minute…. Suo Fei suddenly realised a big problem.

In 《Yalance》, there were many characters that could be conquered, but there were two characters that were extremely special and could not be chosen on one’s own initiative: the ultimate gong—Samael Launay, and the ultimate shou—Sofey Evans. Most importantly, these two roles could not coexist.

A world with an ultimate gong could not have an ultimate shou. A world with an ultimate shou could not have an ultimate gong. That was why when Suo Fei first played 《Yalance》, he played as Samael Launay and never met Sofey Evans from beginning to the end. Because Sofey Evans did not exist. But now, in the world of Yalance, the two of them met. When the original plot had just begun and the two of them had just undergone major changes… they met.

What did this mean?

It meant that one of them would die here, and the plot would only unfold for the one who lives.
