Chapter 14: Knife & Death, I
Wu Hao gasped for breath, hands flying to check himself for fire. There was none, though. His skin was whole and he smelled no smoke - there was nothing that even suggested that he'd ever been burned at all.
He relaxed, just a little bit, but then had to fight not to shiver in the chill that suddenly blew at him. It felt even colder coming from the burning heat that had turned his skin to charcoal, and it'd felt plenty cold already. They were high in the mountains and the cold wind tore through everything in its path mercilessly.
Struggling to not rub his hands, he let a little qi run through his body and forced himself to stand up straight.
Then, because that wasn't enough to take it from his mind, he looked towards the reward that he'd received this time.
| You have been killed by a fire for the first time. Obtained Fire Resistance I as a reward. |
