Spare Me, Great Lord!

Before Lu Shu finished viewing Lu Xiaoyu’s distress values, a whole bunch of other records flooded the screen.

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +101…”

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +199…”

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +210…”

Lu Shu was dumb-struck, and started to mourn for Chen Zuan…

…

“Hey Xiaoyu, if there aren’t any toilets in this huge forest, where else can I pee besides on the tree?”, Chen Zuan felt like weeping as he sat on the ground.

Lu Xiaoyu shouted angrily, “If not for you, I would have found Lu Shu a long time ago! It’s all your fault!”

Lu Xiaoyu spent the entire day looking for Lu Shu. When she found Chen Zuan, she was enraged but that was not a time to blame him. She quickly lead her troupe of animals to return to the original route in hope of finding Lu Shu’s scent.

Upon glancing at the obedient pile of beasts beside him swallow their saliva, Chen Zuan asked quietly, “Xiaoyu, are you and Lu Shu blood siblings? Why are both of you so fierce?”

“No!”, Lu Xiaoyu sat on naughty pig which was lying on the ground and had already fallen asleep.

Chen Zuan said, “Oh, the two of you have such a good relationship but I am very curious as to why Lu Shu could bear to let you enter the relics at such a young age?”

Lu Xiaoyu looked sideways at Chen Zuan and laughed coldly, “If you can enter it, why can’t I?”

“From Chen Zuan’s distress…”

“What about me?” Chen Zuan’s originally calm face turned flushed, “I am very strong too!”

“You wish”, Lu Xiaoyu scorned.

“What do you mean ‘you wish’!?”, Chen Zuan was really upset, causing the naughty pig to open its eyes and stare at him, snorting heavily. Chen Zuan’s aggression faded quickly, knowing that he might not be able to defeat the pig…

Chen Zuan hurriedly changed the topic, “Xiaoyu, are you worried that Lu Shu is in danger? He is only of E-grade, yet he is already moving around in this forest alone. It is not so simple in this forest. Compared to the data which I got regarding the Beimang relics, the overall strength of this Salt Lake relic is on a higher level.

“Lu Shu will not be in danger”, Lu Xiaoyu assured. On the one hand, Lu Xiaoyu knew that Lu Shu’s ability was not only of the E-grade, and on the other hand, her faith in the inexplicable…”

Lu Xiaoyu had the impression that Lu Shu was focused and detailed, and she could not remember any task that he could not accomplish.

Having heard Lu Xiaoyu’s words, Chen Zuan paused. He could not continue the conversation. Lu Xiaoyu had no intention of discussing Lu Shu’s safety as she was confident that Lu Shu would not be in danger. However, Chen Zuan did not know where Xiaoyu gained such confidence…

“But the danger of the relics does not lie only in the relics themselves as being wary of others is crucial as well. I know of a C-grade spy who not only stole the Matrix Eye but also killed many people”, Chen Zuan said.

“I will kill whoever kills Lu Shu”, Lu Xiaoyu said as a violent aura of bloodlust emanated from this ten-year-old girl.

Chen Zuan felt that this side of Lu Xiaoyu was quite cute… a contrasting kind of cuteness…

Lu Xiaoyu turned and stared at him, “You don’t believe me?”

Chen Zuan noticed that naughty pig started staring at him again and explained hurriedly. “I believe you, I believe you…”

How extraordinary! To be unable to defeat a little girl!

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +101…”

Lu Xiaoyu looked up at the sky as she laid on the wide, thick back of her pig, preparing to sleep, “Hurry up and sleep. We have to continue the search for Lu Shu once the sun rises. If we cannot find him by tomorrow, I’ll kill you as a sacrifice.”

Chen Zuan was sipping on his fresh water but spat it all out upon hearing these words. What did she mean by sacrifice?!

Actually, Chen Zuan suddenly that after Lu Xiaoyu left Lu Shu, she became less constrained and had a more murderous aura…

Such a feeling was as though a little demon had kept its true nature tamed because of certain people and happenings. Upon their disappearance, it slowly revealed its natural behaviour.

However, he did not know that Lu Shu meant the whole world to Lu Xiaoyu. Without Lu Shu, everything else in the world would lose its meaning.

The reason she caught the naughty pig and big cat was not really for self-protection, but was in the hope of earning Lu Shu’s recognition as she wanted to prove that she could fight alongside him during battle.

Lu Xiaoyu had also realised that Chen Zuan was like a chatterbox… as though he could be suffocated from shutting his mouth for a moment!

Chen Zuan used his arms as a pillow and laid on the empty ground, “Xiaoyu, don’t u think I can find chances to gain credit in this relic, and even if I don’t… there’s still Lu Shu, who would definitely be Lieutenant by then…”

Influenced by Lu Xiaoyu, Chen Zuan’s confidence in Lu Shu started to grow by a hundred times…

“When that time comes, the rank of those players in the capital will not be as high as mine, and there will definitely be some young infatuated women who would want me but they are not important. The most important is, I wonder if Xu Wenxin and Du Xuemei would look at me in a different light? If they both like me, which one of them should I take on a date? What a tough decision…”

From the tall, mighty body of the naughty pig came a cold laughter from Xiaoyu, “Keep smirking, you E-grade player.”

“So what if I am E-grade? Am I not human just because I am E-grade?!”, Chen Zuan raged.

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +555!”

“Be quiet and sleep!”

…

Lu Shu walked between the mountains and the forest. Since the weird trees were not threatening, climbing over mountains was not difficult. Throughout the journey, judging by his fitness standards, there was no need to find the easier path and he could just follow his compass directly.

However, upon climbing the Wei-e mountain and overlooking the valley, he suddenly saw that the trees from far ahead had died and collapsed. The beauty of the forest contrasted with the sudden veil of darkness in the distance, like a bright-lit city that blacked-out in a flash.

Faintly, Lu Shu could even hear rumbling coming from the forest far ahead. It was soft only because of how far away it was.

Lu Shu was shocked and was puzzled at what happened. This was despite him being strong enough after lighting the seventh star and reaching the limit of an awakened C-grade powerful metahuman. Even though the star system did not rotate, his growth in strength was not delayed.

Despite this, to destroy such a large area of forest was very difficult, if not impossible, unless he progressed to the next level!

Could it be that Chen Baili was over there? But who was battling with him?
