Chapter 778 - A Dead Corpse (2/2)

Xiao Luo didn’t say a thing. With his other five fingers, he grabbed onto his collar and flew into the air, heading straight toward the direction of where the castle was.

Martial… Martial Emperor?

Camel was so shocked that his face turned pale. He found it hard to believe that Xiao Luo had reached the level of a Martial Emperor. This was way too terrifying. How did this guy’s powers manage to explode over the course of one night? How did he reach the horrifying level of a Martial Emperor?

Thinking about how he even said that he was going to kill him earlier on was just way too hilarious!

…

After flying for about half an hour, Duck Emperor pointed a few kilometers into the distance and shouted excitedly, “I see it. Isn’t that the Dark Castle?”

The tip of a castle had been exposed.

Actually, there was no need for it to even mention it. Xiao Luo had already spotted it from way before. Even though he might be confident about his skills, he was not going to let his guard down anymore and make sure that he would never lose his powers ever again. Hence, when he landed on the ground, he made sure to be careful.

“You, walk in front,” Xiao Luo softly ordered Camel.

Camel couldn’t help but tremble a little. He was obviously making him their pathfinder. Once there was any sort of danger, he would be the first to be attacked, and he was sure that Xiao Luo was not going to step out and help him at all. But his life was in the hands of someone else. All he could do was reply with a yes. He bit the bullet and walked forward.

Squeak. Squeak.

This piece of forest was even darker, and from time to time, bats flew past from above. There was also a very thick mist. The atmosphere here became extraordinarily weird and gloomy.

The exotic beasts in the Dark Forest seemed to know that this was an ominous place as well, and they couldn’t seem to spot any exotic beasts within a radius of more than 10 kilometers.

After walking for over 10 meters toward the castle, the ground was filled with quagmires. Some of them were bubbling as if some weird creatures were hiding beneath.

Duck Emperor could feel the penetrating horror and couldn’t help but say, “Brat, this place looks a little creepy, like a place that evil spirits will haunt. The horror films that this duck here has watched look just like this.”

Xiao Luo didn’t say a thing and continued walking forward. Stepping into the vacant space, he walked on air to prevent his shoes and pants from being stained by the mud.

With every step, Camel trembled in fear. His entire body was almost running out of cold sweats.

Suddenly, a rotten human hand stretched out from within the quagmire. Like a demonic hand from hell, it grabbed onto his ankle.

“Ah!” Camel who was already extremely tensed, to begin with, shouted out in fear. Duck Emperor screamed as well. That hand was just way too scary. The skin and flesh were completely rotten, revealing the thick finger bones from underneath.

Camel kicked hard and tried to remove his ankle from the rotten hand. But that hand was grabbing tightly onto his ankle. He couldn’t help but take a few steps back, but all he was doing was pulling the other part of the body out of the quagmire.

“Zom…zombie!” Duck Emperor screamed out loud. Its eyeballs were about to burst, and its entire face was filled with horror.

Xiao Luo was a little stunned as well. This corpse that was being pulled out from the quagmire by Camel’s leg really looked like the zombies in the “Resident Evil” movie from the original world. Though it might be covered in mud, the mud couldn’t hide the decayed marks. Bones were exposed in multiple areas, and its clothes were completely torn as well. With a body filled with mud, it looked just like an evil spirit.

The most unbelievable part was that this extremely rotten corpse was actually alive.

“Let go! Let go! Hurry up!”

Camel fell to the ground and was so scared that his face had turned pale. He used his other leg to kick the rotten corpse away repeatedly. After multiple kicks, he finally broke free. He ran backward like a wolf and ran behind Xiao Luo to hide so that he could feel that slight bit of security.
