Chapter 231: Anonymous Warning
In the oppressive darkness, Li tended to the wound on his calf. Rising to his feet, he pounded on the walls of the drywell, desperately seeking for an escape route.
His heart pounded with a need to flee this nightmare. Ever since he had thought of the eyes staring him down, he was plagued by those eyes that chilled him to his core.
Li had faced numerous challenges throughout his years, but none had instilled such fear within him. His past opponents were motivated by predictable motives, so he could formulate plans against them, but…
The most terrifying ones were the unpredictable ones.
After a long search, Li discovered a potential exit from the room – a square hole approximately one meter in length and width, in the corner discreetly blocked off by corroded iron bars.
With a kick, he shattered several of the rusted bars, realizing that this cellar was probably used to oversee the movement of livestock – the pigs, to be exact.
The gnawing fear of imminent death bit at his aura of bravado.
He hesitated for a moment before steeling himself and crawling into the hole. As his hands brushed against something sticky, he instinctively brought them to his nose, immediately, a wave of nausea washed over him.
The stench was overpowering – a nauseating blend of rotting flesh, urine, and petroleum.
