Spare Me, Great Lord!

Every member of the Australian organization was sparing no effort in fighting off the black beetles. In spite of their commendable teamwork, there were casualties every now and then, as one bite could be fatal for an ordinary individual Practitioner.

However, strangely enough, human blood would be quickly absorbed by the earth upon contact, at an incredible speed!

When they were done clearing up most of the bugs around, Li Yixiao had almost arrived as well. At this moment, Arago glanced around in search of the individual Practitioner that held him back just now, but the person was nowhere to be found…

Wait a minute. Arago looked downstream, only to see Lu Shu hundreds of meters away. What the hell!

“From Arago Kingsley’s distress, +666!”

Now, everyone took to their heels while cursing silently inside, could someone please discipline this Li Yixiao?! Although the bug flood was relatively slow and could not even outrun a Class E, but who could deal with so many of them? To make matters worse, Li Yixiao was still roping in even more!

Having recognized Lu Shu from behind, Li Yixiao quickly sped up, overtaking Arago’s team…

Damn you, thought everyone in the team. What could they do when the troublemaker could actually run faster than themselves? How frustrating!

Lu Shu turned to see Li Yixiao waving at him. “Wait for me, Lu Shu!”

Ha, only bloody idiots would wait for you! Lu Shu continued running without hesitation, while Li Yixiao shouted loudly from behind, “Help me explain to that old man! I didn’t mean it!”

“Help you?” Lu Shu sneered. “I shall burn some sticks of incense for you. How about that?”

At this moment, Lu Shu ran past an exit, from which the Golden Foundation members were walking out under Zhi Wei’s leadership.

Zhi Wei’s face lit up at Lu Shu, who had run past without saying a word…

“From Zhi Wei’s distress, +666!”

Zhi Wei’s jaws dropped in shock but did not manage to get a word out. But something was fishy, where was Lu Shu hurrying to? His face turned pale as he gazed upstream. “Li Yixiao! Bloody hell you just wait for the old man to chop you into pieces! Everybody, run!”

Li Yixiao was displeased. “Oh, man! Your greetings are so hurtful! It’s the beetles, not me!”

“Like hell I will believe you! F*ck!” Zhi Wei then turned and led his people to flee.

By all rights, getting out of the labyrinth was an achievement worth celebrating, but in fact, it signaled the commencement of the first marathon match in the remains on the fourth day since their entry…

…

In the end, the Deities still did not enslave individual Practitioners. While some believed that the approach would doubly insure their own safety, others deemed it as an act of inhumanity. As a result, the debate went on and on.

Despite the long history of conflicts in Scandinavia in ancient times, they were actually contemporary doves.

Therefore, as the biggest organization in Northern Europe, the Deities were in fact a supporter of peace. Their internal discord between various factions could often be resolved through debates during meetings, which was much less violent than many other organizations.

The Collection of Gods, for instance, had many records of bloodshed due to internal conflicts.

A Class C frowned. “I don’t think it is necessary to make such a fuss over enslaving individual Practitioners. Anyway, they’ll be safer with us. Do you think they’ll be safe if left to explore the remains on their own? Besides, other organizations will take them too even if we don’t.”

The Class B leader pondered for a long moment before raising his head in shock. “Where are those individual Practitioners?!”

All of them had been claimed by other organizations during their long discussion…

Suddenly both parties… let out a sigh of relief…

If so, what was there to debate about? Let’s go then!

Same as the others, the Deities were trapped in the tunnels for a long time and they were not exempted from the heart attack given by Lu Shu’s wall arts as well…

Things like “The relic is directly below you”, “Class A creatures loitering 500m ahead”, “Time machines given out for free by doraemon 500m ahead”. Spare me great lord, please!

But it did not take them long to find the right way. At the riverside, the triggered bugs were soon cleared up through their united and strategic efforts!

At this moment, a pretty little girl suddenly emerged from the ground, which startled everyone present. She took a calm glance around and murmured, “You agreed to wait for me outside the palace, but where’s the palace?! You’ve changed, Lu Shu!”

The palace was already gone by the time she reached the site!

Hissing with anger, Lu Xiaoyu controlled Anthony to bring her down from the surface directly. When she finally managed to find the palace, Lu Shu had disappeared again!

The Deities were dumbstruck by the scene in front of their eyes. It was understandable, suddenly seeing a pretty girl coming out of the earth in underground remains. Besides, her voice just now was too soft to be heard. A person asked in caution, “Little sis, are you a Practitioner… or a creature here?”

Lu Xiaoyu turned and fixed them with a frosty stare. At that moment, Anthony and Johnson were on command under her feet, ready to attack anytime when needed.

But she kept silent for one minute, her brows knitted closely together. Confused, the Deities did not take any action either.

They wondered, was there something wrong with what they said or was she really a native creature?

Just when they were getting nervous, Lu Xiaoyu replied in English, “Can you speak Chinese?”

What?!

She frowned because she could not understand a single word in the Deities’ question!

Now, all of them looked at one another at a loss. For some reason Coral felt a disposition to Lu Xiaoyu and she would be glad to have a chat with her. But that was impossible due to the language barrier. Despite Lu Xiaoyu’s vigorous efforts in cramming herself with high school knowledge, she had never really practiced her listening and oral English skills, unlike Lu Shu.

Lu Xiaoyu eyed the crowd, but had an inexplicable urge to beat Coral up when her gaze swept past her…

Why was that? Lu Xiaoyu could not justify it either. In any case, she should not inflict violence on others for no particular reason. It must be because I have transferred my anger on Lu Shu to her, thought Lu Xiaoyu, since the group in front was so far, still rather friendly.

Lu Xiaoyu was reasonable most of the time.
