Curisa?

As soon as he heard this mans name, Xiao Luo clenched his fists subconsciously. His joints made cracking sounds, and his eyes could not help but flash with anger. He would never forget that it was this person who took Su Li away. It was also this person who crippled one of his hands and feet. This was a deep-seated hatred. If he saw Curisa, he did not doubt that he would lose his rationality and would kill Curisa with everything he had.

Are you telling the truth that Curisa hung you up and beat you up? If you dare to lie to me, Ill kill you!

Xiao Luo looked at the duck emperor with his eyes filled with bleak killing intent. He could accept that the annoying duck drew the longbow in other matters, but if it dared to lie and trick him for this matter, dont blame him. Let alone it is just the disciple of the Master God of Chaos. Even if it were God, he would still kill it.

Gulp!

The Duck Emperor shuddered and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty. It raised its right-side wing and said, I swear that if I lie, lightning will strike me, and Ill die a horrible death. I will be judged by the transmigration laws in my next life and be born as livestock!

Arent you livestock now? Xiao Luo said, narrowing his eyes wryly.

The Duck Emperor scratched his head awkwardly. Ah, yes, Im sorry Ive had the ability to speak for too long, and it makes me sometimes forget that Im merely a handsome duck. Still, Im not lying to you. That Curisa is as smart as you are, and he knew I was posing as my master to scare them into giving up on traversing the two worlds. When he broke into my hall, he hung me up and beat me up for seven days and seven nights seven days and seven nightsI lost all my dignity!

At the end of his grievous rant, he burst into tears.

Xiao Luo sighed. As smart as me? Anyone whose intelligence was average would have quickly realized that it wasnt the Master God of Chaos, but was some imposter playing tricks behind the safety of these walls. Being hung up and beaten for seven days and seven nights, and he lost his dignity? How could a useless duck have any dignity?

To be honest, having lived in the dimension of chaos with this annoying duck for ten days, Xiao Luo had a better understanding of its temperament. For instance, when it lied, it would unconsciously avoid looking at you. And when his eyes started darting around, it was a clear sign of guilt. But speaking now, these characteristics did not appear, and it meant his words were likely 99%, close to 100% credible.

You want to regain your dignity? Do you have that ability? Xiao Luo asked.

You little brat! Well, I must say its a good question. Yes, of course, I have the ability. But Im not the one to fight Curisa, you are. You can split open the dimension of chaos and travel between the two worlds, so I have high regard for you. So, to regain my dignity, I dont need to do it with my own hands. As the saying goes, making a third party the instrument of a crimethats to say, you will destroy Curisa on my behalf. The Duck Emperor raised his wings like a human and gave him a thumbs up.

Make a third party the instrument of a crime?

Damn it! You have already tried all your tricks on me and failed, and yet youre still taking it for granted. You even have the gall to speak your silly plans out loud with no reservations.

Slap!

It annoyed Xiao Luo so much he reached out and slapped the Emperor Duck hard.

Quack!

The duck emperor cried miserably.

With a common enemy, Xiao Luo accepted the Duck Emperor and brought the annoying duck along. He also ordered it to shrink its body to the size of a large fly and stay on his shoulder when it was free.

To determine the direction of the Light Clan, it was necessary to ask someone!

However, after flying over the vast forest for an entire day, they did not see a single person, nor had they reached the edge of the forest.

What a bummer! The forest is too vast. Even with your lightning speed, you have flown for an entire day without reaching its edge. Its just too damn vast! The Duck Emperor lamented with a sigh.

Xiao Luo also frowned, for he had been flying for an entire day, and it meant he could have flown from the northernmost point of Japan to its southernmost point twice over. He had yet to see the edge of this forest, and he was sure that he had not lost his way as he had taken a north bearing. It was now beginning to seem like the forest was boundless, or at the very least, twice as large as Japan.

It may sound exaggerated, but it was the truth.

Xiao Luo decided to land after flying for an entire day, as he was already hungry.

The towering ancient trees blotted out the sky, and the thousand-year-old vines were as strong as dragon sinews. There were echoes of fierce roars issued by unknown beasts that the vast mountains. The roars of those that were closer to them resounded like thunder. As night fell, predators prowled in this vast forest, and their growls were a constant reminder of the cutthroat world they found themselves in.

ROAR!

As soon as Xia Luo landed, a beast had its eyes set on him.

It looked like a wild boar. However, this wild boar was at least 600 to 700 kilograms in weight and was like a moving mountain. It brandished sharp claws on its four limbs and had a mouthful of ferocious saw teeth. Its two menacing tusks protruded prominently, and the exposed parts measured at least 20 centimeters long.

A great weasel?

Xiao Luo once again recalled the picture of the mutated beast in the Shanhai Jing and Seas anecdotes. This mutated beast he had spotted was very similar to the great weasel recorded in the Classic of Shanhai Jing. The great weasels eyes were red, and its mouth was full of sharp yellow teeth, foaming with disgusting saliva.

Damn little brat, it seems to take you as its prey and wants to make a sumptuous meal out of you. The Duck Emperors annoying voice filtered to Xiao Luos ears.

Treated me as prey? Lets see whos going to land up as a sumptuous meal. Xiao Luo couldnt help but snort with a sneer.

Suddenly, the boar-like great weasel stomped its four limbs into the dirt with great force and charged toward him.

Nimble and quick to react, Xiao Luo leaped into the air to avoid the charge. The great weasel slammed into a large tree trunk, the circumference of three adults stretched arms, and the large tree snapped in half with a loud crack. The massive tree trunk fell heavily to the ground, stirring up clouds of sand.

What a crazy beastthe force of its collision felled a tree! The duck emperor was secretly shocked.

Xiao Luo raised his blade in the air and slashed down. With just one slash, he chopped off the head of this gigantic creature, instantly killing it.

A while later, a tantalizing aroma of roast meat filled the air as Xiao Luo and the Duck Emperor sat by the campfire, enjoying their meals.

Tsk, tsk, tsk The meat tastes so good! I have never eaten such delicious roasted meat before.

The Duck Emperor had reverted to his original size, and his stomach was bulging like a rubber ball as he lounged on the turf, holding a piece of roasted meat in his duck-hand. He burped several times but continued eatingtaking a bite at a time and resting in between mouthfuls.

Xiao Luo ignored him and knitted his brows as he stared into the night sky. Although they had arrived in the Arcana Land, he realized that the journey to the Light Clan wasnt straightforward. It had already been half a month, and if the Light Clan wanted to harm Su Li, they would have done so by now. Even if he rushed to her rescue, he wouldnt be able to stop them.

He felt extremely vexed and anxious at the very thought of the circumstances.

Hey, little brat, what wild game are you planning to hunt tomorrow? The Duck Emperor called out to Xiao Luo, a look of satisfaction on his sated face.

Roast duck.

Xiao Luo snapped. He was not in the best of moods.

The Duck Emperor was taken aback for a moment. F*ck you! @ # % he cursed.
