My Guardian System: The Trader
Chapter 26 - To Quench The Thirst

When the beast leaped to attack him, Jem reacted based on reflexes to catch it.

*Snap!*

He succeeded in grabbing it. But, it allows the beast to bite him. Jem's face twisted into a frown.

Gwar! The angry beast growled when Jem waved his arm to get rid of it. *Whoosh!* *Whoosh!* Though, nothing happened. The beast's fangs penetrated deeply into his flesh.

He would have been crying already if he was in his right mind. Fortunately, being out of his senses also gave a little advantage in this regard. Even if he was in pain, he could not feel it.

However, this type of beast was poisonous!

Although the beast was poisonous, it didn't affect him. He had poison resistance, after all.

As Jem's attempt to get rid of it was a total failure, he changed his play. Jem Hansen's mind has yet to recover. However, his body remembered what to do through experience.

Light particles gathered around his left arm. The next second, he smashed it on the ground like a stretchable rubber.

Bang!

Gwerk!

If not because of the bushes, it might be a heavy impact. But still, the beast let out a cry with tears forming at the corner of its eyes. However, the beast was still there, clinging onto his arm. It was aggressively biting him.

Annoyed, Jem continued smashing it on the ground but it failed to get rid of the persistent beast.

Blood was dripping from Jem's arm to where the beast was biting him.

Noticing his action did nothing to it, next, he summoned Ex-Energy to his fangs. Jem's fangs grew longer. About an inch long. Following his instinct, he bit it. He bit back the beast. The beast groaned and cried and finally released its bite.

However, something happened. The subconscious Jem felt something when his pair of Furious Fang penetrated the beast's flesh.

After his fangs penetrated the flesh of the beast, the blood of it wetted his tongue. His eyes widened. Although it wasn't the water he was seeking right at this moment, a great sensation of relief flashed in his very soul after the blood dripped into his mouth. As though it calmed the great storm he was suffering.

The taste of blood was so awful. But, who cares? All that he cared about at the moment was his thirst. Anything that could quench his thirst was a blessing.

Jem sucked the blood like a hungry mosquito. The beast tried to struggle but to no avail. If before he was trying to get rid of it, this time, Jem was tightly gripping it, preventing the beast from escaping.

The beast could only growl. Now, their situation has reversed. Sᴇaʀᴄh the NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

He continued sucking the blood as though it was freshwater.

Sluuuurrpp~!

The vibrant in Jem Hansen's eyes gradually returned to normal. On the contrary, the beast had become weaker and weaker until it stopped struggling. And now, it was barely breathing.

After a big burp, he threw the weakening beast to the ground.

Jem seemed to have a headache. While making low groans, he was clutching his head between his hands with his bloodshot eyes trembling.

But, it was also noticeable that the spirit in his eyes had gradually returned.

For some reason, Jem fell on his knees as though his legs lost power. Then he stopped making noises and briefly glared around him while wearing a confused expression.

Ha?

A puzzled utterance came out from Jem a few seconds later.

Wait, what happened? Where am I? What place is this?

Jem asked after realizing that he could not recognize the place.
