Chapter 730 - : How Could You Put Up with This (1/2)
While having the roasted meat, Xiao Luo’s Divine Awareness detected several human auras approaching.
Would he finally meet a living person?
He was excited. If he ran into any human, he could ask them for directions to get to the sacred location of the Light Clan. Then, he would execute the Flying Formula immediately and head right over there without stopping.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, flashing across the sky, four figures flew out of the forest. They were very agile and were armed with crossbows, knives, or spears in their hands. As soon as they saw Xiao Luo’s face, the four let their guard down.
“Sh*t. It is not one of those sons of b*tches from the Ziyue Cave Heaven. It’s so disappointing!” one of them swore. He had every single trait a bad guy would have, including a long chubby face with a terrifying and evil expression.
“Tell me about it! When I saw the fire, I thought it was those bast*rds, too. Now that we’ve hurried here, it turns out to be not the case. How disappointing! So, those bast*rds are not too stupid after all, lighting a fire as they’re attempting to escape,” said another man.
“Forget about those bast*rds for now. We have been chasing them for too long. I am starving now. What have we here? A roasted Lili. It looks like we have something to gain after all.”
The man with the long chubby face could not help swallowing his saliva when he saw the roasted Lili in front of him. After sensing Xiao Luo’s energy level, he said disdainfully, “How dare a Martial Master venture so deep in this forest! You do not know what you are getting into. But you are quite lucky. You killed a Lili. That is unbelievable.”
The other three also laughed scornfully after gauging Xiao Luo’s energy. They certainly would not feel threatened by an insignificant Martial Master. After all, they were Martial Spirits, two realms above Martial Master. It would be as easy as falling off a log for them to kill this guy.
They did not know that Xiao Luo had intentionally suppressed his energy so that no one would feel threatened by him. They knew he was a Martial Master only because they had sensed the part of his True Inner Force that inadvertently flowed from his body.
“What are you four pieces of sh*t murmuring about? Tell your Grandpa Duck Emperor now. How can we go to the sacred place of the Light Clan?” Duck Emperor got to his feet, holding a thin twig, pretending to pick his teeth with it, although he did not have teeth like a human.
Did the duck just talk?
The four martial spirits were astonished and looked at each other in surprise. There were looks of awe in their eyes because an exotic beast had to reach the level of a beast demon before it could speak like a human. Somehow they could not believe that the greedy duck with the enormous belly was a beast demon.
It could not be. Its energy flow did not seem like that of a beast demon!
The four probed further into the Duck Emperor’s energy and could sense that it was not a beast demon. It was an exotic beast of the fifth level, at the very most. Then it was rather strange, for how could it speak? What the hell was it?
“You, Mother duckers!”
Seeing them astonished and speechless, the Duck Emperor was so annoyed that he swore at them. Then he gave the man with the long chubby face a hard slap with his wing, just like it was a human hand. “Piece of sh*t. Grandpa Duck Emperor just asked you a question. What are you staring at? None of you have answered me. You are not giving any face to your Grandpa Duck Emperor.”
The man with the long chubby face who got slapped stood looking stupefied for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Then he raised his hand to give the Duck Emperor, who was still in the air, a slap in return.
He struck the Duck Emperor with a hard blow. With a shrill quack, the duck’s body flew off and hit a giant tree. The duck went limp and fell onto the ground right next to the trunk of the giant tree. Feeling dizzy, Duck Emperor stood up shakily. His head was spinning, and he was seeing stars.
“Sh*t. I nearly freaked out earlier. It’s no beast demon, but just a damned duck—only an exotic beast of the fifth level!” sighed the man with the long chubby face as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
The other three also felt relieved when they confirmed that the duck was not a beast demon. Had it been one, their leader could not have slapped it away as beast demons were too strong. The duck must have eaten some panacea to speak like a human.
“Young man, we are hungry. We will eat some of your roasted meat. You would not have any problem with that, would you?”
The man with the long chubby face said to Xiao Luo dismissively. Then he immediately bent down to cut the meat of the Lili with his knife.
“Yes. I have a problem with that,” said Xiao Luo honestly as he got up on his feet.
Oh?
