Chapter 765 - What a Miracle! (2/2)

Xiao Luo looked happy. He sped up, but then stopped when he had been only 100 yards away. He would not act recklessly this time. After that experience with the Black Blood Mercenary Coups, he had a bad impression of mercenary coups. What if they were the same as the Black Blood Mercenary Coups? He was not strong enough to deal with them at the moment.

He observed them secretly and found they were from mercenary coups indeed. There were 15 or 16 armed men. It seemed they had got lots of gains and killed lots of exotic beasts, so he was sure they would leave the Dark Forest very soon. All he needed to do was to follow them secretly.

“Smells so good. Those pieces of shit are roasting meat. Speaking of roasting meat, goddamn jerk, I miss our days in the Forest of Infinity Edge a lot. We roasted different kinds of meat every day. My appetite was really satisfied.” Duck Emperor was drooling. It was not a vegetarian duck. Instead, it was quite interested in meat.

“We will satisfy your appetite later, okay?” Xiao Luo rolled his eyes.

“Of course. Look at my belly. I have lost weight these days,” Duck Emperor said.

Looking at its fat round belly, Xiao Luo could not help but curse, “Lost weight my foot.”

The man and the duck kept hiding. Once those people hit the road, they would follow them secretly.

At this moment, a man collecting firewood seemed to see something. He shouted, “Who is there?”

At the same time, several arrows whooshed fiercely across the air towards Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo’s pupils shrank. He was sweating in fear. However, he reacted fast. He did a carp flip and dodged those arrows. It was a close call, but he made it.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

Ten-odd figures suddenly showed up and surrounded him. He could tell from their sharp look that all of them were masters. He also sensed a threatening killing intent from them. He could imagine that they must have once experienced some life-or-death battles.

“Who are you? Why are you sneaking here?” a large muscular man shouted in a harsh voice.

The others were all pointing their knives, swords, and crossbows at Xiao Luo. It seemed as if they weren’t satisfied with Xiao Lu’s answer, they would kill him.

Xiao Luo explained, “I’m a hunter. I was hunting, and then I got lost. I want to follow you to leave the Dark Forest.”

“Hunter?”

Narrowing his eyes, the large muscular man said, “Camel, go and see whether he has sharp teeth in his mouth, whether he is a puppet of vampires.”

“Yes.”

A lean muscular man put his crossbow away. He took a step back to grasp Xiao Luo’s jaw and check the latter’s teeth carefully. In the end, he shook his head at the large muscular man. “No sharp teeth. He is not a puppet of vampires.”

Those people were obviously less hostile after that confirmation.

The large muscular man scratched his head. Bending down, he asked Xiao Luo, “Are you really a hunter?”

“Yes.” Xiao Luo nodded. He needed their help, so he had to be humble.

“Why are you here then?”

“I got lost while chasing an elk. And I am here before I knew it,” Xiao Luo lied.

Got lost while chasing an elk?

The 10-odd men burst out laughing after hearing his story.

The large muscular man patted Xiao Luo on the shoulder. “It is deep in the Dark Forest here. There are carnivorous beasts everywhere. You are just a Martial-Master-level hunter and seemingly badly injured. It is a miracle that you are still alive!”
