Peerless Genius System-Chapter 761

Chapter 761: Wild Beasts

Xiao Luo closed his eyes, healing up in a spiritual state.

White air exuded from his body and shrouded him like a mist. It looked unreal. The injuries on his body were starting to recover from within. Firstly was his broken bones, then his internal organs, followed by his eight meridian points, and lastly his external wounds.

This was a process. The fracture on his right leg wasn’t going to recover that quickly!

Duck Emperor ate so much that its stomach was bloated, and it was now having a good sleep. Its method of recovering was to sleep. When a duck fell asleep, it snored loudly like a fat pig.

The sky slowly turned from morning to night. The forest was now completely dark, and cold air blew over it as well. The atmosphere was becoming scarier, and the wind was becoming stronger. The howling wind was like a vengeful spirit crying in the middle of the forest.

No matter how mentally strong it was, Duck Emperor could no longer continue sleeping. It had already woken up earlier and could only feel the wind cutting into its bones. When the wind blew on its feathers, they stood up uncontrollably.

“Oh, my ducking mum! Don’t tell me there are ghosts here,” Duck Emperor said, frightened.

Duck Emperor forcefully swallowed some saliva and carefully looked around its surroundings. The dark atmosphere made it feel like an evil spirit was going to appear at any moment. But it was afraid to disturb Xiao Luo since Xiao Luo was trying to heal. If he was disturbed while doing so, it would affect the end result.

Xiao Luo was sitting cross-legged. He could barely notice the passing of time while healing up.

Sitting motionless allowed his true inner force to circulate around his entire body. It had circulated around his body more than 300 times, and his broken right leg had finally recovered. He was now trying to repair his internal organs that were severely injured. The strong spiritual energy followed his technique and flew towards him from all directions as if they were being attracted by him. They then penetrated into his pores and entered his body.

Two green lanterns suddenly appeared from the forest without warning.

Duck Emperor noticed them, and it got so scared that it was shivering. All of its duck feathers began to stand uncontrollably. It walked closer towards Xiao Luo, cold sweating profusely. “Goddamn brat, it’s not that…it’s not that this duck wants to disturb you, but you need to stop your healing technique now,” it spoke gently to Xiao Luo. “We…we might have been spotted by some kind of wild beast…”

It looked around its surroundings. Pairs of green lanterns were appearing like bamboo shoots after the rain. The icy aura made it hard for it to even open its mouth.

Xiao Luo could hear it speaking and could also feel the danger around their surroundings. He stopped his technique, opened his eyes, and could see a bunch of wolf-like beasts emerging from the darkness. Each of them was about as big as a lioness. They had thick animal hair. In the dark, their eyes were permeating a cold green light.

Their mouths were filled with fangs dripping with saliva. They leaned forward slightly, snarling in a low voice, slowly moving towards him and Duck Emperor. They had black claws on their feet, and their grip was really strong. The solid ground was filled with a series of claw marks after they had stepped on it.

“Screw their ducking mum! What kind of wild beast is this? There are so many of them. At least 50 of them!”

Duck Emperor exclaimed, “There are so many of them. They are clearly overestimating us. We are just two skinny beings here. We can barely feed 10 of them. There’s no way we have enough meat to feed all of them.”

Xiao Luo couldn’t be bothered with it and directly leaped upwards to a tree behind. He then stepped on the branch like a monkey and jumped upwards to a height of about 20 meters before stopping.

“Goddamn brat, you’re way too treacherous!” Duck Emperor shouted and wasn’t slow to react either. It flapped its wings and flew towards Xiao Luo’s shoulder at the speed of lightning.

The bunch of wild beasts dashed towards the tree beneath them, lifted their heads, and roared at them with their sharp fangs.

Looking at them wandering beneath, Xiao Luo was sure that they couldn’t climb the tree and couldn’t help but feel relieved. Based on his current powers, it would be quite a challenge for him to take down these wild beasts. But if he could focus on healing up for one more night, then he wouldn’t have to fear them anymore.

“Thankfully, they can’t climb the trees. Otherwise, we’re dead meat.” Duck Emperor patted its chest and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Don’t sleep tonight. You’re responsible for keeping them in check!” Xiao Luo exhorted, then crossed his legs and entered his healing state again.

The tree below them was filled with leaves and branches and was particularly sturdy. Sitting cross-legged on top of it was like sitting on a solid ground, and there was still a lot of extra space as well.

Duck Emperor could no longer fall asleep. How could it? This piece of forest became extremely eerie at night, and there were wild beasts as well. No matter how brave it was, it couldn’t fall asleep in this sort of environment. Looking at the tree beneath them, and the wolf-like beasts wandering around, as if staying there waiting for them to go down, it was so angry that it broke a small branch and threw it at them. “You f*cking b*tches! How dare you even think of eating Grandpa Duck Emperor! Once this goddamn brat recovers some of his powers, your time will be up,” Duck Emperor boasted. “When that happens, Grandpa Duck Emperor is going to peel off all of your skin, shove a tree branch into all of your buttholes, pierce it through your body and out from your mouths, then roast all of you over a campfire and eat you all up.”

Hearing its shouting, the wild beasts below let out a series of angry roaring.

“What are you shouting for? Hurry up and get lost for Grandpa Duck Emperor!” On top of the huge tree, Duck Emperor was confident. It was not the least bit afraid of the beasts and spoke with much arrogance.

As soon as it was done talking, a wolf head emerged from a nearby tree. Duck Emperor was startled. No one knew when it managed to climb all the way up, but it launched a sudden attack and pounced at them with its huge mouth opened wide.

Not just one. There were a whole bunch of them on the trees. They had formed a circle and surrounded Xiao Luo and Duck Emperor. Leaping off at the same moment, they dove towards them ferociously.

“Goddamn brat, hurry up and dodge!” Duck Emperor panicked.

Duck Emperor was scared to death. It flew towards a branch above them while screaming to dodge the attack.

Xiao Luo’s reaction speed was really fast as well. He quickly got out of the healing state, slammed his legs on the branch beneath like a spring, and jumped up to a higher spot.

A few of the wolf-like wild beasts missed their targets, but they had no intention to stop. They violently headed upwards. They moved around the tree like it was flat ground. The claws on their legs were very strong and allowed them to grab onto the tree firmly.

Xiao Luo was a little shocked. He could never have imagined that this bunch of unknown beasts would be this crafty. They tried to show the enemies their weakness, had them think that they were not able to climb trees, then secretly made their move and attack while they had let their guard down.

While he was stunned, a beast leaped towards them and bit onto the tree branch beneath his feet.

Crack.

The sturdy tree branch broke in an instant. Xiao Luo had yet to make his jump, and the tree branch was already broken, causing him to lose his support. He lost his balance and was about to fall but, thankfully, managed to grab onto a protruded area of the tree, hanging at the side.

But without waiting for him to catch his breath, two beasts leaped off from above and headed straight to him.
