Chapter 920 Ui ui…?
Chapter 920 Ui ui…?
"Ui ui… Ui ui…"
The world was falling apart. The sky was turning down, the ground was turning up… Everywhere there was chaos.
The whole forest above Lith's head and the river, it was crashing down on him.
It felt as if doomsday had arrived and it was the end of the world.
The chaos was grandiose, and the force of nature was at its very peak.
Lith knew there was no fighting or escaping this, yet he tried his best to avoid the falling debris and ran as fast as he could.
"Ui ui… Ui ui…"
While running, something weird was heard by him. The sound was faint, but Lith could hear it nonetheless.
Thinking it was just his head being funny, Lith continued to run.
SMACK!
"Oof…"
Not even a few seconds of running later, a ball of debris came flying towards Lith and hit his back, pinning him down to the ground.
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
"Argh…"
More debris hit Lith's back and there was a continuous rain of it, as if the world wanted him to be dead.
"Ui ui… Ui ui…"
Lith heard the sound again, but this time it was louder.
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
"SONUVABITCH!" Lith yelled out as the debris continued to hit his back.
His curses however didn't help, as right in the next instant…
PAH! PAH! PAH! PAH!
"Motherfuc—"
The world around Lith began rotating and darkness enveloped his vision.
He heard the damn ui ui sound again but then was met with a horrible stench.
The stench was so bad that Lith was gasping for air and in the next few seconds…
"HWAAAA!"
The darkness was gone and Lith woke up, as if he had a bad nightmare.
Coming to his senses, he found himself in a forest, by a large rock.
"Ui ui…?"
Pat!
Lith got hit by a rock and turning to the source, saw a…
"Duck?"
The duck tilted its head in confusion.
"Ui ui?"
Lith heard the same weird voice again. It came from the duck, but it wasn't the duck making the noise.
Feeling something weird, Lith slowly walked close to the duck.
The duck took a few steps back in response and what Lith saw surprised him, making him stop in his tracks.
"Ui ui?" A short, around two feet tall muscular dark man, wearing leaves around his waist and holding a spear, looking like a typical amazonian person, but a miniaturized version, made weird noises.
Lith squinted his eyes to have a good look, the man got startled and went back to hide behind the duck.
The duck was actually taller and bigger than the man, but Lith thought it was normal sized because he himself was somewhat of a giant.
Lith was almost two meters tall, falling into the categories of young giants.
"Did you save me?" Lith asked the man.
The man peeked from behind the duck and said, "Ui ui?"
Lith couldn't figure out what sort of language this guy was talking in, but this somewhat sounded familiar.
He squatted down on the ground and rubbing his chin, said, "Are you speaking in French? Oui oui?"
"Ui… ui?"
"Oui. Oui." Lith said the only French words he knew of.
"Ui ui?" The amazonian was greatly confused.
Lith sighed and rubbed his temples. "It's not French. Why did I think it's French. Anyway… you… can… you… understand…"
Lith made some hand signs and tried to talk to the guy, but the guy only just said Ui ui and continued to look at Lith.
"Quack quack…" The duck spoke this time.
"Ooo!" The amazonian seemed to understand the duck.
Lith felt somewhat weird, watching a duck understand him speak and not this sentient guy.
"Can… you… understand?" Lith made some hand signs again and asked.
"Quack." The duck nodded.
"Wow…" Lith was baffled. This duck could really understand it seems.
"Well… then… ask him… what… happened… to me…" Lith made hand signs again.
The duck nodded and turned to look at the guy.
"Quack… QuackQuack… Quack?"
"Ui ui!" The guy clasped his hands. "Ui ui ui ui ui ui ui ui!"
The guy began making hand signs while speaking in his ui ui language. The duck listened intently and then turned to Lith.
"Quack quack…" the duck gestured to Lith to come closer.
A duck as a translator… What an odd world Lith lived in.
Shaking his head, he went closer and the duck pecked its beak on Lith's forehead.
Soon, Lith saw a scene play out in his mind.
In this very place, by the big rock, he was lying down and frowning hard.
His eyes were closed and he seemed to be in stress.
This two feet tall dude was riding on this duck and then saw Lith resting.
He got down and went to check up on Lith, but found Lith to not show any signs of waking up.
Curious, the guy said ui ui and began poking Lith with his spear.
Lith still didn't wake up.
The guy went into deep thinking as that happened and chatted with the duck about it.
The duck quacked, this guy ui'd and then, the two came to a conclusion to hit Lith to wake him up.
The guy turned Lith on his back and began hitting him with his spear.
Lith's eyes twitched, noticing that.
He then hit Lith's butt with his spear but somehow Lith still didn't wake up.
Thinking there was no other option, the guy ui ui'd his duck.
The duck quacked and got right in front of Lith's face, then farted aggressively.
Lith then woke up after some struggle and here these guys were.
Lith's jaw dropped knowing what had transpired and he glared at the duck and the man.
The man whistled and the duck looked away, as if they weren't guilty of giving Lith a pink eye.
Even though Lith knew this was bad, he sighed and shook his head.
These guys only did what they knew the best. And well… somehow things worked and Lith had woken up.
'So I was in an illusion, it seems.' Thought Lith.
Whatever the illusion was, it was far too realistic. If Lith had died in there, his consciousness would have collapsed, making him walk a path of no return.
Truly a terrifying world this was…
"Anyway… can you… take… me… to your… village?" Lith made hand signs and asked the duck and the guy.
"Quack quack!" The duck nodded and the guy ui ui'd in affirmation.
With that, Lith made two acquaintances in this new world and walked with them to their settlement.
It was an hour's walk and after reaching, Lith got another surprise.
By a river, there was a big hut and many could be seen roaming around it.
There were also a lot of tree houses everywhere and this settlement was bustling with activity.
The big hut seemed to be the center of this settlement and the ui ui guy and duck took him there.
While on his way, there were a lot of small guys who stared at Lith, but as much as he had expected a lot of attention, he didn't get much of it.
Somehow… These guys were looking at Lith as if it was fairly normal.
Walking inside the big hut, Lith found it to be a tavern.
There were a few normal people in this place, particularly elves, orcs, and even goblins.
They didn't seem to have any enmity and were eating food together in the same place.
What was odd though was that…
"Quack! Quack! Quack!"
There were a lot of ducks!
Literally, the whole place was filled with ducks.
The ducks were acting as staff, cleaning, serving, and even taking orders while the people thought of it as normal and went about their own businesses.
Lith wondered what sort of amusing duck settlement he had stumbled upon.
The ui ui guy parted ways with the duck here and gestured to him something that meant he was on his own now.
The duck nodded and took Lith further into the tavern.
Lith was taken to the back kitchen by the duck and in the middle, they were stopped by a few ducks, but eventually, he got access and they reached an open ground where food was being cooked.
"Hurry! We cannot lose out on customers anymore! Make good food!" Someone was yelling in a language Lith was familiar with.
This someone was a young lady with long black hair and about the height of Miwa.
She was wearing a typical adventurer's outfit and was giving instructions to a few ducks and amazonian people who were cooking.
"Quack!" The duck called out to Lith.
Lith looked at him and somehow understood what it wanted to say.
The duck then called out to the young lady and as she turned to look at Lith, a genuine surprised formed on her face, followed by a big shock and then disgust.
"What the hell is a human doing here!?" The girl was startled and took on a defensive stance, pointing a ladle at Lith.
"Quuuuaaaccckk!" The duck with Lith panicked as it watched that.
The ducks around, feeling the young lady go in a defensive mode, left whatever they were doing and got in a defensive stance as well.
"Quuuaacc…k?" The duck beside Lith thought it was about to quack its last quack as everyone seemed to be in an attacking mode.
Lith found the situation funny and shook his head.
He raised his hand and turning to look at the girl, said, "Miss… I think there's a misunderstanding."
