Chapter 736: Who Was Singing?!
Towards the endless forest, ancient trees as tall and high as the sky covered the ground. The thousand-year-old vines were thick and strong, and from time to time roars from unknown beasts could be heard from within.
The six disciples of the Purple Moon Cave did not dare to sleep. Contrary to them, Xiao Luo’s eyes were closed. It seemed that he had fallen asleep with his back against the tree.
After witnessing Xiao Luo’s ability to wipe out the Black Blood Mercenaries with a single slash, including a peak Martial Spirit expert, Zuo Xiangming and the others had inwardly revered Xiao Luo as a god.
“Brother, this Xiao Luo guy’s aura is obviously just at Martial Master, so why is his strength so terrifying?”
“Yes, the Black Blood Mercenaries are all at the Martial Master and Grand Martial Master level, and there’s also a Martial Spirit realm expert, but they were killed with a single slash. Isn’t his strength at Martial Emperor in that instant?”
“He is odd in every aspect, I have never seen such an odd guy!”
The disciples whispered amongst each other and chatted about Xiao Luo. Meanwhile, Duck Emperor’s presence was forgotten. It was not like they were snobbing him, but rather the strength Xiao Luo showed was really so shocking and made them curious.
Zuo Xiangming raised his hand and gestured to stop, “Brother Xiao should have some kind of secret method to hide his true strength. That’s why on the surface, he only looks like he is only at Martial Master level. Well, anyways, let’s stop talking about Brother Xiao. No one likes people talking about them behind their back.”
His brothers and sisters nodded obediently.
“Hey, what are you guys still standing around for, come and help this duck bandage his wounds!”
Although his wounds were already almost healed, Duck Emperor hated being left out and shouted loudly.
The Chaotic God taught him two skills, one was recovery while the other was the ability to escape. For 500 years, he had practiced these two skills so of course, he was at the level where getting shot by an arrow was mere child’s play.
Although the disciples found out that Duck Emperor was actually not a Demon Beast, they still went forward and carefully treated his wounds. The three female disciples also carefully blew air into his wound with their mouths, they were very considerate.
When Xiao Luo saw this, his impression of these dísciples increased.
Duck Emperor, who for more than five hundred years has not been cared for by anyone other than his own master, was for the first time moved to tears.
“Venerable, what’s wrong?” Zuo Xiangming asked with concern.
“No… nothing, sand just got into my eyes.”
Duck Emperor hurried to explain, and then said embarrassed, “You also do not need to call me Venerable, this Duck is actually not a Demon Beast. I can just speak human, that’s it…”
“Then what should we call you?” A female disciple asked curiously.
Duck emperor thought about it, and then said in a serious manner, “Call me Grandfather Duck Emperor, this duck is more than 500 years old so you can just call me grandfather.”
Uh~
The disciples were stunned. If it were an old man, sure they would call him grandfather, but a duck? Regardless of age they would not be comfortable calling a duck grandfather…
“We’ll just call you Venerable, in our minds, you’ll always be a Venerable Demon Beast!” Zuo Xiangming said righteously.
A male disciple also hurriedly spoke out in agreement, “Yes Venerable, you stood up for us and faced the Black Blood Mercenaries singlehandedly. You were handsome, brave and courageous, you deserved to be called Venerable.”
“Oh? Is that so? Handsome?” Duck Emperor regained his former liveliness.
“En, super handsome!” A female disciple said.
“Hahahaha… you jest, quack quack…”
Duck Emperor was happy and excitedly shouted. He even hummed a song. Though it was very hard to listen to.
Zuo Xiangming and other dísciples wanted to cover their ears, but were afraid to hurt the self-esteem of the Duck Emperor, so they endured.
“Try singing again and I’ll roast you!”
Xiao Luo could not bear it, he picked up a wooden stick and threw it at the Duck Emperor’s head, knocking him to the ground.
“Damn it!”
Duck Emperor cursed and crawled up, but when he remembered that he couldn’t beat Xiao Luo, he had to endure it and said, “You’re just jealous of my singing!”
“Can’t you hear yourself?” Xiao Luo said indifferently.
“This duck is the god of singing. So how can my singing not sound good? Tell me, young’ens, is this duck’s singing good?” Duck Emperor asked.
This…
The dísciples were in a dilemma. The singing was indeed not good. However, if they said it, it would hurt the Duck Emperor’s self-esteem. But if they say it was good, wouldn’t that be slapping Xiao Luo’s face?
“Who was singing? You dare disturb this diety’s mind and cause this deity to fail in his breakthrough! Come out quickly and suffer death!”
In their indecision, a cold voice suddenly sounded, and then a huge snake head poked out from the forest. It was a giant python with a blood red body. Its body is as thick as a large water tank. Its body also emits some kind of stench. The sudden strong sense of oppression brought by the snake immediately caused the dísciples startled and break into cold sweat.
Demon…. Demon Beast?!
This giant python is a Demon Beast!
“Run Venerable, run Brother Xiao!”
Zuo Xiangming subconsciously shouted a warning. He then turned around and wanted to escape. Against a Demon Beast, they did not have any ability to resist, leaving them with the only option ‒ to run for their lives.
“Want to run? Not a chance!”
The python’s triangular eyes were full of anger. It then flicked its giant tail. The earth shook and five trees were uprooted and were sent flying towards Zuo Xiangming’s group’s path and blocking them.
It coiled its gigantic snake body and slowly peeked out from the forest, “I can feel the opportunity to breakthrough, but you damned stinking humans sang such an unpleasant song and disturbed my mind! Now I have to wait for another breakthrough opportunity and that is at least a hundred years! You deserve to die! Now tell me, who was singing? I’ll make sure that he can’t live!”
The disciples subconsciously glanced at Duck Emperor.
Duck Emperor felt chills after meeting the eyes of the python, so he hurriedly pointed at Xiao Luo and blamed it on him. “Quack, quack quack…”
He also did not dare to speak human and instead used his duck language to implicitly tell this python that it was Xiao Luo who sang.
“What kind of bullsh_t duck language are you talking about, are you saying that you sang it just now?” The giant python coldly glared at him.
