Chapter 763 - The Return of Ghost (1/2)
Although Xiao Luo’s attainments had retrogressed to Martial Master, he was not any less aggressive. He was totally a humanoid fighting machine. As long as any wolf-like beast approached him, he would throw his knife over immediately without thinking. It was almost a reflection, a spontaneous action.
Blood spurted. Screams and wails came.
All of a sudden, a wolf-like beast who had fallen to the ground opened its mouth to bite Xiao Luo’s ankle. Its sharp teeth tore his skin open, pierced into his flesh, and bit his bone. His ankle bone was broken instantly.
“Ah!”
The pain was unbearable, and Xiao Luo screamed. He turned around to stab the wolf-like beast that had attacked him after falling to the ground, and the beast was killed.
He pulled his right foot out of that bloody mouth. His ankle was badly mutilated. He could see his bone through the blood.
The wolf-like beasts around him were provoked. Screaming, they jumped on Xiao Luo one after another. They used their sharp claws and teeth as their weapon. Xiao Luo’s right foot was injured, so he had great difficulty getting about. He kept retreating while fighting. The claws of those wolf-like beasts left awfully shocking wounds on his body. One of the beasts even showed up behind him all of a sudden and bit into his shoulder.
Crack.
As blood spurted, his shoulder blade was completely fractured. A sharp pain struck him instantly.
Clenching his teeth hard, Xiao Luo stabbed into that wolf-like beast’s belly backhand. This way, he relieved his right shoulder of that bloody mouth.
That attack was doubtless fatal. Xiao Luo was covered with blood. He staggered back to a giant tree. Leaning against the trunk, he had to support himself with the Dragon Saber to manage not to fall to the ground. Blood was flowing out of the numerous wounds on his body. Starting from his feet, it flowed everywhere. The ground around him was tinged red very soon.
A spent force.
At the moment, it was not exaggerated at all to describe him this way.
Xiao Luo wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. He lifted his head to look forward. Those wolf-like beasts did not hurry to jump on him. Instead, they surrounded him in a fan shape. They did not look like they would launch an attack. Those beasts obviously knew he was already a spent force, so they wanted to avoid unnecessary casualty. They would keep a safe distance and wait until he fell himself. As soon as he fell to the ground, they would flock to him, tear him up with those sharp teeth of theirs, and swallow him.
Would he need to use the system again?
Xiao Luo smiled bitterly. His strength went beyond the limit the system could offer him a long time ago, and he always felt there was a manipulator behind the system. He really did not want to turn to the system again because he had no idea what that manipulator wanted. However, at this moment, he seemed to be in a desperate situation. If he did not use the system to cure his injuries, he would absolutely die.
Whoosh.
When he had been driven into a corner, a figure jumped down from the tree behind him.
Long green hair, bangs on the forehead, and a long black strapless dress with tiered ruffles below the waist. It was possible to see from the big swaying skirt that the back of the dress was purple, which contrasted with those red tall boots and that small red umbrella in hand.
Who else could it be if it was not the girl called Ghost?
“Hey, Little Luoluo, I told you it’s dangerous here, but you wouldn’t listen to me. You’ve been suffering, haven’t you?” Ghost focused her attention on Xiao Luo as if those wolf-like beasts did not exist.
Looking at her, Xiao Luo felt an unspeakable bitterness. In the end, he could only smile bitterly, baring his teeth stained with blood.
“Take it easy. As long as I’m here, these small wolves won’t hurt you,” Ghost said with a smile, patting her chest.
