Xiao Luo closed his eyes and circulated his energy to heal his injuries. His entire body entered a state of emptiness.
Wisps of white smoke rose from his body and enveloped his entire body like a mist. It gave off an illusory feeling. Meanwhile, his injuries were starting to heal from the inside. First were his broken bones, then his internal organs, then his Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and finally, his external wounds.
This was a process. The comminuted fracture in his right leg would not heal in a short period of time!
The Duck Emperor ate until its belly was round and round. It was fast asleep on the ground. The best way for it to recover was to sleep. When a duck fell asleep, it actually snored like a fat pig.
Slowly, the sky turned from day to night. The Dark Forest was pitch-black, and a cold wind blew. The atmosphere here became more and more terrifying. The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the whistling sound of the wind seemed to carry the cries of vengeful spirits as it swept through the forest.
No matter how calm the Duck Emperor was, it could not sleep. It was already awake. It felt that the wind was bone-chilling, and its feathers stood on end uncontrollably when it blew on its body.
"Oh my god, there won't be a ghost here, right?"
The Duck Emperor swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and looked around vigilantly. The pitch-black atmosphere made it feel as if an evil spirit could come out of the darkness at any time. However, it did not dare to disturb Xiao Luo. After all, Xiao Luo was circulating his energy to heal his injuries. If he was disturbed midway, it would definitely affect the healing process.
Xiao Luo sat cross-legged. He did not feel the passage of time as he healed his injuries.
He sat motionlessly, allowing the True Inner Force in his body to circulate over and over again. Up until now, it had already circulated 300 times. The shattered bones of his right leg had already recovered, and now, it was repairing his internal organs that had suffered serious internal injuries. The rich Spiritual Qi seemed to be attracted from all directions as he circulated his True Inner Force. Then, it seeped into his body through the thousands of pores on his body.
Suddenly, two ghostly green lanterns appeared in the dark forest. There was no sign, and it was very sudden.
The Duck Emperor was so scared that it trembled. Its feathers stood on end uncontrollably again. It moved closer to Xiao Luo, and its body was covered in cold sweat. "Goddamn brat, it's … it's not that this duck wants to disturb you, but you have to stop circulating your energy to heal your injuries. We … we seem to have been targeted by some wild beast …"
It looked around. Pairs of green lanterns sprouted from all directions like bamboo shoots after a rain. It was so cold that it could not even speak properly.
When Xiao Luo heard it speak, he also sensed the danger around him. He immediately stopped circulating his energy and opened his eyes. He saw strange beasts that looked like wolves emerging from the darkness. Each of them was about the size of an adult lioness. They had thick fur, and in the dark night, their eyes emitted a cold green light.
Saliva dripped from their fanged mouths. They leaned forward slightly and growled softly as they slowly closed in on him and the Duck Emperor. They had black claws on their feet, and they had a strong grip on the ground. They left a series of claw marks on the solid ground as they stepped on it.
"Motherf * cker, what kind of wild beast is this? There are so many of them, at least fifty of them!"
The Duck Emperor panicked. "They think too highly of us by sending so many of them. Just the two of us are skinny. We can't even split ten of them. We're not even enough for them to have a good meal."
Xiao Luo could not be bothered with it. He leaped up and landed on a towering tree behind him. Then, like an ape, he stepped on the branches and leaped upward. He only stopped when he reached a height of more than twenty meters.
"Goddamn brat, you're too disloyal!"
The Duck Emperor cursed. However, its reaction was not slow. It flapped its wings and flew to Xiao Luo's shoulder like a bolt of lightning.
The group of wild beasts below rushed to the bottom of the tree. They raised their heads and bared their fangs as they roared.
Seeing them hesitate below, Xiao Luo confirmed that they did not know how to climb trees. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief. With his current strength, it was still very difficult for him to deal with these wild beasts. However, if he could circulate his energy and heal himself for one more night, he would not have to be afraid of them anymore.
"Luckily, they don't know how to climb trees. Otherwise, we'd be dead meat." The Duck Emperor patted its chest and let out a long sigh.
"Don't sleep tonight. You're in charge of watching them!"
Xiao Luo reminded it. Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his energy to heal himself.
This towering tree was lush with branches and leaves. Even the branch they were on was abnormally thick. Sitting cross-legged on it was like sitting on flat ground. Moreover, there was a lot of extra space.
How could the Duck Emperor fall asleep? This forest became eerie and terrifying at night. There were wild beasts roaming around. No matter how big its heart was, it could not fall asleep in such an environment. It glanced at the group of wolf-like wild beasts under the tree. They seemed to be waiting for them to come down. It was so angry that it broke off a small branch and threw it down. "You bunch of f * ckers! You still want to eat your Grandpa Duck Emperor? When that goddamn brat recovers some of his strength, it will be the time of your death. When that time comes, Grandpa Duck Emperor will pluck all of your fur and poke a branch through your anus. Then, I'll roast you over a bonfire and eat you."
Hearing its curses, the wolf-like wild beasts below roared angrily.
"What are you shouting for? Hurry up and scram for Grandpa Duck Emperor!" On the tree, the Duck Emperor was fearless. It was not afraid of the wild beasts below. It spoke with confidence.
Just as it finished speaking, a huge wolf head appeared from a nearby tree. It was unknown when it had climbed up the tree, but it suddenly launched an attack on them. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced on them.
It was not just one of them. There were more on the trees nearby, forming a circle around Xiao Luo and Duck Emperor. At the same time, they leaped into the air and pounced on Xiao Luo and Duck Emperor in a ferocious arc.
"Goddamn brat, hide!"
The Duck Emperor was scared out of its wits. It screamed and flew to a higher branch to hide.
Xiao Luo's reaction was also very fast. He quickly exited his healing state and stepped on the branch below like a spring. He nimbly jumped to a higher place.
A few of the wolf-like wild beasts missed their target. They did not stop and immediately pounced on them. They walked on the tree as if it was flat ground. The sharp claws on their feet were very strong and could firmly hold on to the tree.
Xiao Luo was shocked. He did not expect this group of wild beasts to be so cunning. They knew how to pretend to be weak. They deliberately made him think that they did not know how to climb trees. Then, they secretly moved and attacked him when he was most relaxed.
Suddenly, a wolf-like wild beast pounced on him from below and bit the branch under his feet.
"Crack ~"
The thick and sturdy branch immediately shattered. Xiao Luo did not have time to jump away. The broken branch made him lose his support and his body fell weightlessly. Fortunately, he hurriedly grabbed a protrusion on the tree and hung on it.
