My Guardian System: The Trader Chapter 28 - Gale

He clamped his mouth.

Hearing the trader's repeated warning only made him more nervous towards the beast. He could certainly feel it. The suffocating pressure that the beast was releasing towards him.

The trader was right. Jem knew that he had no chance of winning against it. The better thing to do was to escape from this place. There's no point in fighting an opponent you cannot win. He must save his life.

However, where would he go?! It even mystified him to find himself in this unfamiliar place. The last thing he rembered, he was trudging the cold dark path in search of the exit. But suddenly, he found himself here!? It was too weird.

He made a quick scan around him; he noticed he was sitting with his butt in a circular area where grass did not grow.

If he made an estimation, the deserted area was about 40-50 in diater. There were four big pillars about 8-10 ters tall in four directions.

On each top of the pillars, there were head statues of a feral-looking beast.

Jem had a strong feeling that it ant sothing.

In so segnts of the pillars, algae stuck on them. It made the carving marks on it more vivid as they didn't stick on them as though they were avoiding the carves. They were profound lines that Jem was not familiar with what kind of design they were representing. However, they looked ancient. Also, vines were sticking up to the middle part of the pillars.

Nonetheless, why on this part only that grass isn't growing? It was already suspicious. Perhaps, this area was the beast's territory! Jem surmised in a brief mont.

However, his eyes shook.

While he was clutching his chest, he noticed a tingling and throbbing sensation on it. Also, his hand that was clutching his chest seed wet from sothing.

When he glanced at it, "B-blood?!" He froze on the spot upon seeing his hand was bloody. But where did he get it?

Jem's face turned white. On the chest, he saw three wounds on his chest. Just then, he felt more pain.

"Ugh!" He groaned. More pain suddenly attacked him after knowing he had wounds.

Looking at the pattern of the wounds, it seed like the cause of them was an attack using claws.

Wait, he rembered he dodge the beast attack a while ago, so how co he got wounded? Jem wondered.
