Chapter 778: A Dead Corpse

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The sword stirred up a raging wind. As a strong warrior at the Martial Spirit level, Camel seemed to tear up everything with a single slice. He aimed to slice up Xiao Luo into two with a single slice, but reality was far from his beautiful dream.

Bang!

The broadsword stopped about 20 centimeters away from Xiao Luo’s head. Camel was shocked. It was as if there was an extremely powerful and invisible force stopping the broadsword and his entire body. He couldn’t move at all. It was as if the air around him had solidified and frozen him up.

What was going on?

What exactly was this strong true inner force that exploded from this brat’s body?

Camel was stunned. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. At that moment, the guy in front of him was giving off an unpredictable and mysterious feeling. His opponent was clearly a Martial Master. There was no way he could have that strong true inner force. Besides, just releasing his true inner force was enough to restrain him. How was that possible? What had happened to this guy’s body between last night and this morning?

“Goddamn brat is finally getting serious! How rare!” Duck Emperor, who was in his pocket, exclaimed.

Xiao Luo looked at Camel, raised his right hand slowly, and placed it on Camel’s chest.

“You… What are you trying to do?”

Camel broke into cold sweats. The Xiao Luo right now was much scarier and eviler than the Sucking Blood Clan.

Xiao Luo had no expression on his face. Without saying a thing, a powerful force was released from his palm in the next second and mercilessly slammed into Camel’s chest.

Puff!

Camel spat out some blood, and his body flew backward uncontrollably.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He smashed into countless trees and finally submerged into a pile of branches and leaves. He spat out mouthfuls of blood and could feel his internal organs had been smashed. He kept coughing out blood. The pain in his chest was immense, and two of his ribs had been crushed and broken as well.

How was this possible?

How had that guy manage to become this strong all of a sudden?

Camel was extremely stunned. If it wasn’t because of the stinky duck, he would have thought that the person he just met was someone who looked like the person from last night but was actually a completely different person.

He struggled to stand up and, while standing up, coughed out five to six mouthfuls of blood.

An ear-piercing sound could be heard. Turning to take a look, Xiao Luo, who was originally over 10 meters away from him, appeared in front of him like a ghost.

Cold sweats trickled. His pupils shrank. A frightening chill circulated his body, causing his hair to stand uncontrollably. Without waiting for Camel to react, Xiao Luo placed his hand on his shoulders with all five fingers. He could feel that his shoulder blade was about to be crushed, and the pain was unbearable.

“Do you know the exact location of Dark Castle?” Xiao Luo coldly asked.

“I know! I know!”

Camel nodded his head hurriedly in reply. Actually, he only knew the rough location, but he could smell the murderous intent within Xiao Luo. If he said he didn’t know, then he who had no value might be killed by Xiao Luo without hesitation.

“If you know, then start pointing. If you don’t point it out, how are we supposed to know where it is? Besides, you better not underestimate us, you b*stard! If we can’t find the castle, we’ll feed you to the exotic beasts,” Duck Emperor arrogantly said, making use of Xiao Luo’s influence.

Camel quickly pointed in the direction he was running from. “The Dark Castle is…there…”

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.
