Xiao Luo did not give Ghost a clear answer. Deep down, he was extremely reluctant to bring her along. However, this girl had saved his life before, and he could not bring himself to say no. He could only take one step at a time.
"Xiao Luo, we need to leave the Dark Forest as soon as possible. My brothers are much scarier than Lone Wolf." Ghost led the way, holding up her little red umbrella.
Xiao Luo felt that she was too strange. It was dark in the forest, but she kept holding up her umbrella. He also noticed that Ghost was consciously avoiding the sunlight that shone through the gaps between the leaves.
Could it be that she was afraid of sunlight?
Xiao Luo thought to himself. Due to the injury on his right leg, he used a wooden stick as a crutch to follow Ghost.
The Duck Emperor stayed comfortably in Ghost's pocket, peeking out its head to look at the world. From time to time, it would roll its eyes at Xiao Luo, as if to say, "If you don't want to keep a duck, I will keep a duck somewhere else!"
At noon, they stopped by a river to take a rest.
"I'm going to find some fruits to eat. Xiao Luo, wait for me here with Little Duckling. Don't wander off, okay?" Ghost said. Then, she leaped a few times and disappeared.
Xiao Luo sat down cross-legged and began to heal himself. He would not waste any time.
As Xiao Luo had pushed it to Ghost without any hesitation, the Duck Emperor felt that there was a huge gap between them. Of course, this was only what the Duck Emperor thought. It questioned Xiao Luo again, "Goddamn brat, don't you feel guilty?"
Xiao Luo ignored its complaints. Then, he suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to get rid of Ghost.
Based on Ghost's understanding of the forest, she would not be in any danger if she left him and the Duck Emperor. He really did not want to bring her to the Holy Land of the Light Clan. After all, he was not just going there for fun.
He opened his eyes and stopped healing himself. "Stinky duck, let's go now."
"You're not going to wait for Ghost?" the Duck Emperor asked in surprise.
"I didn't promise to take her to the Holy Land of the Light Clan," Xiao Luo defended himself and left.
The Duck Emperor was stunned for a moment before it cursed, "Motherf * cker, no wonder your conscience doesn't hurt. It turns out that you have no conscience at all."
It cursed and followed him. However, it flew into his pocket and took the free human-powered transportation tool.
To prevent the Ghost from following him, Xiao Luo deliberately changed his route. Of course, the general direction was correct. It was the direction that the Ghost had pointed out to him, which led to Mu City. However, after three or four hours of wandering in the forest, he awkwardly realized that he had lost his way. There were endless mountains and endless forests. No matter where he went, it seemed to be the same.
"Looking at your worried face, this duck knows that you are lost. This is fate. We have to be savages here," the Duck Emperor said.
Xiao Luo was not in a good mood. When he heard the duck's sarcastic remarks, he immediately flicked the duck's head and said, "Shut up!"
"Motherf * cker, you don't even allow this duck to say that we are lost."
The Duck Emperor grumbled. "Forget it. Let this duck fly into the air and see if there are any traces of people. As long as there are people and we can follow them, we will definitely be able to leave the Dark Forest. "
After it finished speaking, it flew out of Xiao Luo's pocket and turned into a white light that flew hundreds of meters up in the air. After looking from afar, it flew back happily.
"There is smoke a few kilometers away. It must be a mercenary group that came to the forest to hunt exotic beasts. Let's go there quickly."
"Are you sure?" Xiao Luo was skeptical. After all, this stinky duck always gave people the feeling that it was not reliable.
"Motherf * cker, forget it if you don't believe me. Let's just wander around here and see who is more anxious." The Duck Emperor raised its duck head proudly.
Xiao Luo rolled his eyes at it and grabbed it back into his pocket. Then, he went in the direction that the duck had pointed. After walking for about a kilometer, he indeed saw a wisp of smoke rising from the forest in the distance.
"How is it? This duck didn't lie to you, right?" The Duck Emperor spread its wings.
"You did a good job this time."
Xiao Luo's face lit up with joy, and he quickened his pace. However, he stopped a hundred meters away. He wouldn't rush forward recklessly. After all, he had experienced the Black Blood Mercenary Corps before, and he didn't have a good impression of mercenaries. If they behaved like the Black Blood Mercenary Corps, he wouldn't be able to deal with them with his current strength.
After a secret observation, he discovered that it was really a group of fully armed mercenaries. There were about fifteen or sixteen of them. Seeing that they had a bountiful harvest and had killed a lot of strange beasts, he knew that they would definitely leave the Dark Forest. He just needed to follow them quietly.
"It smells so good. This group of idiots is barbecuing meat. Speaking of barbecued meat, goddamn brat, I miss the time in the Forest of Infinity. Back then, we would change our game once a day. It was so satisfying." The Duck Emperor was drooling. It was not a vegetarian duck. On the contrary, it was very interested in meat.
"I'll satisfy your appetite in the future, okay?" Xiao Luo rolled his eyes.
"Quack quack … Of course you have to satisfy me. Look at my belly. It has become thinner in the past two days," the Duck Emperor said.
Xiao Luo looked at its fat belly and could not help but say, "Thinner your ass."
The man and the duck continued to hide like this. When the group of people was about to leave, they quietly followed.
At this time, a man who was collecting firewood noticed something and shouted, "Who is it?"
At the same time, several arrows pierced through the void and fiercely pierced toward Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo's pupils shrank, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat. However, his reaction was not slow. He jumped up like a carp and narrowly dodged the arrows.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh ~"
More than a dozen figures suddenly rushed out from all directions and surrounded him. From their sharp eyes, it could be seen that each of them was an expert. Their bodies were exuding a cold murderous aura. It could be imagined that they had all experienced a life and death battle.
"Who are you? What are you doing sneaking around? "a burly man shouted sternly.
The others aimed their swords and crossbows at Xiao Luo. It seemed that if Xiao Luo answered wrong, he would be killed.
Xiao Luo explained, "I'm a hunter. I got lost while hunting. I want to follow you and leave the Dark Forest."
"A hunter?"
The burly man squinted and said, "Camel, check if he has any fangs in his mouth. Is he a puppet of the Sucking Blood Clan?"
"Yes."
A strong man put away his crossbow and stepped forward. He grabbed Xiao Luo's chin and carefully checked Xiao Luo's teeth. At last, he shook his head at the burly man and said, "No fangs. He's not a puppet of the Sucking Blood Clan."
After the confirmation, the hostility of the people around them was obviously reduced.
The burly man scratched the back of his head and bent down to ask Xiao Luo, "Are you really a hunter?"
"Yes." Xiao Luo nodded. He had to be humble when he was under someone else's roof.
"Then why are you here?"
"I lost my way while chasing an elk. After turning around and around, I ended up here," Xiao Luo lied.
Lost his way while chasing an elk?
"Ha, ha, ha …"
Hearing this reason, the dozen people burst into laughter.
