Chapter 151: Be On Guard (14)

Jiang Shuyi was curious, "You’re insisting that he would go back on his word, but what if you’re wrong? This is 50 thousand dollars . "

Lu Shu then stared at the spy who had infiltrated within their group and laughed coldly, "The philosopher Tsang always said to be on guard against the wrong people…"

Jiang Shuyi, "??? Where did this proverb come from?"

"From Jiang Shuiyi’s distress, +166!"

After the distribution of the fruits, the heavenly network held another meeting comprising people who could battle and this time Jiang Shuyi was included as well .

Zhong Yutang explained the situation to Li Yixiao and as he explained, he noticed that Lu Shu’s spears had decreased from 5 to 4 . Didn’t they agree on not selling anymore?

"From Zhong Yutang’s distress, +211!"

Of course, he didn’t know that Lu Shu gave Jiang Shuyi one of his spears . Lu Shu did not understand the distress points at all . What’s wrong with this guy, was he annoyed at seeing me

The little squirrel’s eyes turned red upon seeing Li Yixiao . It struggled within Lu Shu’s palm as if it wanted a fight to the death with Li Yixiao . But its strength was nothing compared to Lu Shu’s . . .

At this moment, Zhong Yutang was explaining the situation of the pothole . As he was halfway through, Li Yixiao suddenly flailed his huge arm, "Alright, I get it . "

Zhong Yutang was annoyed, what do you know? Zhong Yutang was a rather down to earth person and did everything intricately and with detail . It was such a pain to be working for a boss like Li Yixiao!

Li Yixiao continued, "It’s almost dark now . Everyone go and rest up, we’ll obtain the relic tomorrow morning . I understand the situation in the pothole very well and I’m confident that we’ll almost certainly obtain the relic . Everyone follow me and my instructions, and I’m sure that we’ll achieve great success . For the country!"

There was awkward silence from everyone upon hearing his words . The core of the remains was dark all along . Even in the day, there wouldn’t be any light within the pothole . Li Yixiao’s confidence in obtaining the relic and self-proclaimed understanding of the pothole was actually doubted by everyone… But they didn’t expect much quality from his words from past experiences with this heavenly king . Zhong Yutang was troubled, "Heavenly King Li, I think it would be better if we devise a more detailed plan . "

Li Yixiao’s facial expression changed . He was here being confident and passionate but someone was being a wet blanket . Did he think being a heavenly king was a joke? His face turned ominously black, "I think you’re trying to make things difficult for me Li Yixiao!"

Zhong Yutang – ahh .

The night sky dawned upon them . The dim light inside circular walls faded as well . The originally bustling and noisy heart of the remain started to settle down . Everyone was too fatigued at this point in time .

This fatigue stemmed from their mentality, having to be constantly cautious of sudden changes . They just had to make one mistake for them to lose their lives to the skeletons .

Now that the heavenly king was here, even if he wasn’t reliable all the time, everyone could take a breather . If even the heavenly king couldn’t protect them, they were bound to die anyway .

As the core of the remains quietened down, some people started resting while others seized the opportunity to continue their training .

Lu Shu couldn’t train and he didn’t have any enemy to annoy . He couldn’t possibly annoy the spy either as that would be too obvious .

Since he had nothing to do, he started going through his income records to see if there were any distress points from Lu Xiaoyu .

This sort of feeling was like scrolling through old conversations when you missed someone… Lu Shu used Lu Xiaoyu’s distress points to estimate how much Lu Xiaoyu missed him or if she really harbored distress against him . . .

"+1" approximately meant that she missed him .

"+10" approximately meant that she thought of him due to some incident .

"+100+ approximately meant that she was angry at him for still not going home .

Wait, what were these two incidents of "+777+ and "+388"? Was there such a huge hatred . . .

Just then, Jiang Shuyi, who was lying against the wall, tilted his head onto Lu Shu’s shoulder . Lu Shu saw his beautiful face but suddenly remembered his gender, and a strange feeling developed inside his heart . . .

Before anyone could notice, he pushed Jiang Shuyi back up… Luckily, everyone had their eyes closed as they were either sleeping or training . . .

Suddenly, a few people who were pretending to train opened their eyes and peeked at Li Yixiao . When they noticed that Li Yixiao was sleeping and snoring against the wall, they all stood up at the same time!

At the instant they stood up, it was as if something from their bodies floated out . The high circular walls and blood red moon looked ominous .

And in this pale moonlight, they seemed have suddenly disappeared . Looking carefully, you could still vaguely make out their silhouettes .

This Ninjutsu, also known as the art of concealment, was ancient Japan's secret technique . But it was lost during the era of scarce magical energy .

If someone with knowledge about this witnessed what had just happened, he could probably link this disappearing act to Ninjutsu .

In the silence, these 9 people crept near the pothole without a sound . They were silent yet swift, much like a fox .

This group of people waited till now to make a move and their stealth techniques were extremely special . It was evident that they came prepared .

As they walked towards the edge of the pothole, not a single person noticed .

They looked at each other and nodded amongst themselves as if reaching some sort of agreement . The first guy jumped down, and as if defying the laws of common physics, he started floating down like a feather .

Then followed the second man, third man all the way until the ninth man .

Just as the ninth man leaped up, a metal-like object caught hold of his right foot . A huge strength pulled him and he was dragged onto the floor at the edge of the pothole!

In his shock, his camouflage disappeared and he turned around nervously . Under the pale moonlight, he saw a teenager with four spears whispering to him, "Are you trying to steal the relic!"

This teenager had a little squirrel on his shoulder . There was already such a huge commotion but still, no one woke up .

This guy’s face immediately turned black . Wasn’t this the teenager who wanted to exploit everyone!? Although the moonlight was dim, the other party’s features were obvious!

When did this Lu Shu creep up to his side? Did he see his comrades who jumped down?!

Lu Shu then received a new record, "From Ohashi Miku’s distress, +499!"

Ahh, that's so little . . .
