Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1097 - 1039: Campfire in the Forest (Part 3)

He walked straight to the campfire and sat down in front of the Heavenly Demon Little Dragon, sniffing the air around him, and said, "I smell the scent of a stranger. Did someone just come by?"

"Your Half-Beastmen sense of smell is indeed sharp, you can even pick up on that." The Heavenly Demon Little Dragon nodded casually, "We did run into a stranger just now, probably someone looking to have an adventure at the Blood Castle! But he might have been a step too late!"

As he spoke, the Heavenly Demon Little Dragon sat upright and asked the Half-Beastman, "You must have succeeded, right?"

"Of course!" The Half-Beastman smiled arrogantly, "When I take action personally, the last component is naturally a piece of cake!"

Saying that, the Half-Beastman flicked his hand, and suddenly a piece of red cloth appeared in his palm.

This red cloth seemed to be stained with blood, and at the sight of it, it was as if one could see mountains of corpses and seas of bones, rivers flowing with blood, invoking an inexplicable sense of fear.

At the same time, the blood-red light from the Red Star in the sky all converged upon encountering this red cloth, as if absorbed by it.

"Congratulations!" The Heavenly Demon Little Dragon laughed heartily, "If Ling knew, he would be happy for you too. He should be back in a while, and we should get together, sit by the fireplace in the tavern, roast by the warm fire, drink some wine, and chat about those interesting stories."

"Many years ago, I lived like that!" The Half-Beastman put away the red cloth in his hand, staring blankly at the flickering campfire, his gaze gradually losing focus, as if traveling back to a distant past, "Back then I was just a child, my father often took me to the tavern in the tribe, where many uncles and elders drank together. I often pestered Uncle Captain Grant to tell me about his seafaring adventures. He would drink his favorite ale and share bizarre tales from his journeys. Those are such distant times now, sadly they are gone forever, my tribe has been destroyed, my father has passed away forever, those uncles and elders all perished in that war, and now only I am left alone, I truly miss them."

"Don’t be sentimental! Eat something quickly!" The Heavenly Demon Little Dragon said, handing over the remaining half of the wild chicken from the campfire, "Everyone has their unforgettable past, it’s precisely those impossible-to-return-to memories that motivate us to get to where we are now. But don’t always dwell on past memories, the future is more important. Since you’ve already got the thing, let’s head back soon, we don’t have much time left."

Thanks to friends like zdidib and Young Master Luo will Lead You for their generous rewards recently.

Some friends have mentioned that the recent Chapters are dull and lack appeal. I actually feel the same. After getting sick, the Chapters I’ve written lack the fluency of before, and this feeling has been evident since around Chapter 900.

Sometimes I feel lost in my writing too. I can only say that I’m trying my best to write well. The dull parts won’t last long, and soon the storyline will pick up again.

Writing is the kind of thing that can’t be interrupted. If you stop for a while and then try to pick it up again, it’s very hard to reconnect, and the level of excitement decreases.

When this book is finished, and I start a new one, it will be a brand-new story. I won’t have to write it with such struggle as I do now. At that time, I’ll present you with a more exciting story.
