Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 276

After a whole day, everyone was tired. w.a.n.g Xinkai built a fire pit in the middle of the empty ground which shone on everyone’s faces.

Some’s faces were blackened by dirt on their dirty hands while wiping off sweat as there was nowhere they could wash them.

Some of their wounds started to recover. No matter how strong their body was, these pract.i.tioners of D and C-grade did not have the ability to recover within a day.

Everyone was extremely tired, sitting quietly around the fire pit in the empty ground while eating their hardtack and sipping water.

w.a.n.g Xinkai was extremely glad that this group which he led did not encounter any severe injuries, just that he did not understand one thing. This empty ground was definitely created by animals nearby for hiding at night.

The question was, why did the animals not turn up?

Someone else who had the same thought was Lu Shu…

w.a.n.g Xinkai wondered if it was because they had too many people and thus, scared off the animals? Good relations really saved them trouble.

Lu Shu mumbled to himself in pity wondering if the animals had found out that he was there? Who exactly let the news out…

He now possessed 320 thousand distress value, urgently ready to harvest a star but in the end, with so many people around, he lost the opportunity. Furthermore, the weird trees outside were making moves. It would be too suspicious to say he wanted to enter the forest to urinate.

All he could do was to wait.

Lu Shu decided to settle this spy then continue his journey alone. To Lu Shu, he originally simply wanted to help fight some battles but since he had his salary and was in possession of magical stones, and definitely had the ability to remove this spy, he felt that it was something he had to do.

When Li Yixiao bought smelly tofu and gave him a hundred dollars, Lu Shu refused as he did not do anything to deserve it so he could not accept it.

However, he kept five dollars and gave him a change of ninety-five dollars as it was the amount he deserved for buying the smelly tofu.

Now that he was dependent on their resources, it was reasonable for him to remove the spy for them.

Since he was a spy, he should be prepared to die.

If not because he wanted to find a suitable opportunity to eradicate the spy, Lu Shu would have already gained a round of distress values and escaped.

How did he not notice in the afternoon when Li Li was aggressive? He also wanted to kill Li Li then!

When he returned the sword, he was also hesitating about this. However, Lu Shu and Li Li’s concerns regarding this were the same, and he did not have the confidence to kill the spy quietly as ultimately, he did not know how equipped was he.

When they killed Chang Hengyue, his suspicious abilities surprised Lu Shu. However, the difference between Chang Hengyue and his abilities was too big and so he did not exert his full power.

w.a.n.g Xinkai, Li Li, Fu Hongxue and three others, a total of six D-grade masters were discussing the night s.h.i.+ft. It was relatively easy to allocate with each of them taking an hour while w.a.n.g Xinkai volunteered to do three hours as a good role model.

With w.a.n.g Xinkai as the role model, the rest did not have any objections. Li Li smiled, “It is a must to rotate the night s.h.i.+fts. I can take up the second s.h.i.+ft.”

Night s.h.i.+fts were to prevent attacks by the wild animals although, in the middle of the night, it is tough for the animals to bypa.s.s the weird forest to attack them. However, in this unpredictable relics, who could ensure if that no living things could tackle these weird trees?

In fact, because Lu Shu noticed something, he believed that there were definitely animals that could tackle this forest.

Snakes were the animal of largest quant.i.ty in this forest and yet at the empty ground the previous day, Lu Shu did not even see a single snake. Initially, he thought that the empty ground would be infested with them but in reality, there was not.

Hence, judging from this: Was it possible that this forest uses temperature to determine living things? It was not impossible.

Everyone says that snakes are cold-blooded animals so is it that snakes have no body temperature? Not so, more accurately, its body temperature changes to be the same as its surroundings. When their body turns cold, they will find ways to go under the sun and when its temperature rises, it will hide under shade or in darkness.

Lu Shu also did not know if his conjecture was right as he simply tried to guess. Who knew what this weird forest relied on to attack.

Perhaps according to magical strength, it was possible, after all, he never actually saw snakes moving on trees at night.

It quietened in the empty ground as everyone fell asleep early. Lu Shu had already laid a layer of leaves on the ground and laid down to rest, thinking about how he did not know when then he could find an opportunity to kill Li Li then set off alone to find the precious items and relics.

According to w.a.n.g Xinkai and the rest, after Chen Baili entered the relics, he had been focusing on finding the Matrix Eye but the relics were so huge and definitely, there was a lot of precious items in it. Was finding the Matrix Eye so important that the other precious items were redundant?

Afterall, after the Matrix Eye was found, the relics would disappear. Wouldn’t that be a pity?

According to Lu Shu’s thoughts, they should roll out a carpet search to search every corner of the relics, right?

That did not make sense!

Just then, Lu Shu suddenly recalled about the huge door in the seal of lands that could not be pushed open. Where did the door lead to? Could it be that opening the door would give access to the Beimang relics again?!

Although Lu Shu was unsure if his guess was right but if it was, then the Heavenly Network’s mission made sense. Normal pract.i.tioners came to train and at the same time, find some precious items while the Heavenly Network searched for the Matrix Eye. Even if they could not find the items, so long they could have the Matrix Eye, they would have the chance to enter this independent world!

Lu Shu’s heartbeat sped up thinking about this. If it was true, then the Beimang relics was where he wanted to live in! Inside…even had tons of spears! Furthermore, he found the Matrix Eye too quickly and had not explored the ghost general’s mansion fully!

This…although he had no way of pus.h.i.+ng it open, it was always wonderful to have some hope. Thinking about it already made him happy.

…

w.a.n.g Xinkai glanced at his watch, it was already 1 am. He patted Li Li who was just beside him, “Hey, it is your s.h.i.+ft.”

Li Li rubbed his eyes and smiled, “Ok, go to sleep, I will wake Fu Hongxue for the next s.h.i.+ft, don’t worry.”

“Ok, I’m going to sleep then”, w.a.n.g Xinkai put on his clothes and laid on the floor to rest.

Li Li waited for a whole 20 minutes and suddenly called softly, “Captain?”.

With no response from w.a.n.g Xinkai, he then finally stood up and walked towards Lu Shu, holding a needle that was emitting blue rays under the light in between his index and middle fingers.

Li Li knew that so long he inserted the needle into Lu Shu’s neck, Lu Shu would not even have the opportunity to react before his entire body turned numb then died of a heart failure. Even a powerful metahuman would not be exempted.

He carefully observed Lu Shu’s breathing and thought that he should already be deep asleep. Li Li walked over quietly, so long the needle went in…everything would be traceless!

In the end, at that moment, Lu Shu who was initially lying on the ground deep asleep suddenly sat up and stared at Li Li brightly, “The Royal Army has a message for you!”

Li Li was so shocked that his hand s.h.i.+vered and almost dropped the needle on the floor. Who believes you, I am the Royal Army!

“From Nozo Min’s distress, +999!”
