Chapter 759 - Young Girl (1/2)
The space storm was like a hurricane, sweeping everything in its path. It sounded like a roaring beast from the depths of an ancient forest tearing everything in its path. The storm completely distorted the space outside the shield. Xiao Luo was rapidly using up his True Inner Force against the intensifying storm as the protective layer that shielded him was weakening.
“Hold… hold on, please…”
With the storm tearing through the barrier, the Duck Emperor succumbed to the pressure. He spat out some blood and fell into a coma.
Xiao Luo was not faring any better. His body was getting weaker, and he was feeling extremely uncomfortable as the storm penetrated the shield. It felt like a sharp blade slicing at his body and inflicting dozens of cut wounds.
One second, two seconds…
As time ticked away, blood oozed from his eyes, nose, and ears. The pressure was getting stronger, enough to flatten an enormous mountain. Xiao Luo’s head was in so much pain that he felt it was going to explode. All his muscles and the skin on his body were inflamed. He was burning up, and the pain was unbearable.
It was the first time Xiao Luo had felt so close to death. The storm was far too strong and not something a normal human being could withstand. He could sense its awesome power all around him–there was no escape.
Was he going to die in this strange dimension?
No. Su Li was still waiting for him to rescue her at the Holy Land of the Light Clan. There was no way he could allow himself to die here!
His resolve activated a sudden surge of power and True Inner Force within his body. As the storm tore into the shield, distorting his facial features, Xiao Luo flinched at the searing pain. It continued to slice his flesh and rip his clothes, leaving him drenched in blood.
The raging storm was relentless.
It continued to tear everything apart, and it resembled an army of monsters devouring Xiao Luo from every single direction.
Fatigue overcame his body. He was slowly losing consciousness and his vision blurred. His True Inner Force was rapidly depleting, but he continued gritting his bloodied teeth and did all he could to hang on.
Suddenly, the storm stopped. The Dimension of Chaos slowly vanished and Xiao Luo could see blue skies. He turned his head a little and saw a thick forest beneath him, and beyond it, a landscape of mountains in the distance. Xiao Luo had survived. Somehow, he got out of the teleportation portal and landed somewhere in the Arcana Land.
He relaxed and unfocused his mind. Everything in front of him suddenly turned dark, then he fainted. As he was about to pass out, he grabbed the Duck Emperor. The duck was still in a coma. Xiao Luo fell from a high altitude, and the speed increased as he plunged. He eventually fell into the forest beneath him.
…
Xiao Luo slowly regained his senses. In the endless darkness, he did not know how far he had walked in semi-consciousness. His entire body was in pain. It felt like all the bones in his body were broken. With what strength he had left, he forcefully opened his eyes. His vision was blurry, and it took some time before he could see clearly.
“It’s another forest again!”
Xiao Luo had a bitter smile on his face. He was indeed in another forest full of thick, sturdy, and leafy trees. The thick canopy of leaves above him kept most of the sunlight out and the area underneath the trees was in perpetual darkness. Yet, if one lifted his head, the blue sky was visible through the thick canopy of tree branches. It was still daylight, and not evening or night yet.
“Hey, you’re awake!”
A female voice came from behind.
It surprised Xiao Luo. He immediately turned his head to look. It was a young girl around sixteen to seventeen-years-old. She was standing not too far away, holding a bunch of fruits.
She had a head of long, wine-green hair, with bangs covering her forehead. She was decked in a black tube dress that was wavy from below her waist. At a glance, the back of the dress appeared purple, and she wore a pair of red boots.
Xiao Luo was rather stunned by the young girl’s outfit. The style was very similar to the ones that girls would wear in the Original World.
