Chapter 97: Awakening
Luo Wen was jolted awake by a cacophony of “Gua-Gua” sounds. The irritation of being disturbed from his long slumber left him seething with rage.
The extended period of hibernation had left his mind sluggish and blank, unable to recall anything immediately.
For now, his overwhelming hunger took precedence as his bodily functions slowly resumed. Instinctively, he tore at the cocoon encasing his body. Having been inactive for so long, his movements were stiff and clumsy, as if his body had rusted over.
When he finally managed to rip through the cocoon, he found the desiccated material devoid of any nutritional value.
To his despair, he discovered another, tougher wall beyond it.
“Which wretched soul had the nerve to glue this place shut?” Luo Wen cursed groggily.
The constant “Gua-Gua” noises from above only aggravated his mood further.
Gathering a modicum of strength, his massive claws—guided by his keen, high-refresh-rate compound eyes—began to chip away at a specific point on the wall.
At long last, a small hole was breached. With this initial crack, the task became much easier. Luo Wen used his claws to claw, pry, and dig, gradually widening the opening.
