Chapter 149: Heartbroken Squirrel (12)

Those who heard the commotion hurried over and many were shocked to see Li Yixiao carrying two fruit trees. Dumbstruck, Zhong Yutang asked, “Li Yixiao, you disappeared for so long just to pluck these trees?!”

“What are you talking about?” Li Yixiao carried the two fruit trees and continued walking, “I was afraid you guys would be hungry.”

All of a sudden, a squirrel appeared from within the tree crown and stood at akimbo, angrily chirping at Li Yixiao. It then plucked off a fruit and threw it at the back of Li Yixiao’s head as Li Yixiao turned around angrily, “I’ve tolerated you for a long time! Stop throwing fruits at me!”

At this time, the squirrel suddenly noticed Lu Shu within the crowd and was even angrier. One stole fruits and one uprooted the entire fruit tree, can’t believe they’re a gang!

It then plucked another fruit and threw it at Lu Shu. Li Yixiao said happily, “My little bro, you stole its fruits too?”

Lu Shu was pissed as he caught the fruit flying towards him. He felt that something wasn’t right. Wasn’t this squirrel the especially big one within that cluster of squirrels?!

Interesting. Lu Shu immediately leaped forward and grabbed hold onto the squirrel which had no time to dodge as he casually walked away.

“From the squirrel distress, +1+1+1+1…”

Previously, Lu Shu felt that although this squirrel was always angry, it was quite cute. He had wanted to catch one back for Lu Xiaoyu but never did get the chance to go back for them due to the green wolves.

But all was good now as he caught the unique one. This squirrel was such a miser. Even after the tree was uprooted, it still stayed on it…

He wasn’t worried that the other squirrels did not have food as there were many other fruit trees.

Lu Shu tried releasing his grip and the little squirrel ran for its life but Lu Shu instantly extended his arm and caught it back. Lu Shu then released his grip again. In the end, every time before the squirrel could escape past an arm’s length, it would be caught back again.

The little squirrel was confused, what is your damn problem?!

Lu Shu did this a few tens of times and the little squirrel finally understood something. This human being wasn’t only strong, but shrewd too and that it could never escape…

Lu Shu’s image had changed again. It was just gold chains and watches previously, but now a pitiful looking squirrel sat within his palms…

“From the squirrel’s distress, +1+1+1+1…”

As Li Yixiao approached, the two tree crowns took up the entire narrow width of the pathway and no one could see behind them. But after he walked out of the pathway, the people inside the core of the remains saw masses of people behind him!

Li Yixiao placed the two fruit trees on the ground, “Come, the people of the heavenly network, distribute these to the rest.”

Zhong Yutang pulled Li Yixiao aside, “Li Yixiao, where did you go these few days? Where are the two Class C colleagues with you?”

Speaking of that, Li Yixiao became serious, “They were sacrificed. This time, the Indians were basically cheating. All of their Class C experts turned up but we killed them all. The Indians were badly injured and they originally only had a few Class Bs and almost all of their Class Cs were wiped out. I wonder what their side would do after they got out?!”

When an ancient remains appeared within a country, they would initially feel that they had the advantage of it being their home ground and were thus excited. But they only realized the truth later that if the country itself wasn’t strong, the appearance of an ancient remains would signify the beginning of a catastrophe. And the rest of the world’s experts would be rejoicing.

If a soccer match took place on home ground, you would have the support of local fans and the advantage of playing on a familiar field. But were remains the same?

When remains first resurfaced, the country hosting it would have to face experts from the rest of the world. It wasn’t a fair 1 on 1 competition but 1 against many enemies!

So when a remains appeared in Laos, all of the Laos practitioners were as good as treading on thin ice and did not dare to make any move since they were insignificant compared to the practitioners from the rest of the world.

This time, there were heavenly kings keeping watch at the borders of the country and most of the Class C experts were covering the places that the heavenly kings couldn’t. As a result, there were only 1 heavenly king and 3 Class C practitioners inside this remains.

Experts from the rest of the world had thought that it would be like the feast in Laos but were met with an overwhelming resistance.

The average person might not have understood the meaning behind this incident but to the heavenly network, the remain was a side objective and instead, sending the message that the sacred land of China wasn’t a place for intruders would have the greatest impact worldwide.

Even if Li Yixiao couldn’t obtain the relic, he was determined to trap the Indians here. Even the two Class C practitioners had to risk their lives in order to aid Li Yixiao in killing all the foreign practitioners. They had one message for the rest of the world- Intruders only had one fate, death.

As to why they allowed these many Class Cs in, it was because the Indians were weaker and the heavenly network was confident in handling them.

Furthermore, Nie Ting and the rest chose to chase the other Class B experts away at the country’s border wasn’t because they couldn’t kill them, but because in the case of an injury, others wouldn’t be able to seize the opportunity to intrude.

The pressure from the rest of the world was too overwhelming.

When the problem was raised to the higher levels of the heavenly network, the gain or loss of the remains was no longer the priority. This was the difference in nature of tackling a problem between an individual and an organization.

From today onwards, experts from the rest of the world had to understand that this wasn’t a place where they could come and go at will. Only by doing this could they protect the country in the magical era and maintain a long-term stability.

Zhong Yutang was stunned, “So this was the reason why you went to pluck the trees?”

This placed Li Yixiao in an awkward position as he quickly changed the topic, “We fought from the core of the remains to the edges. And that was when I happened across the fruit trees and uprooted them and saved quite some people. Quickly gather a group of people to distribute the fruits seeing that everyone looks pale and malnourished. Furthermore, how could we continue exploring the remains if everyone starved to death.”

There was already lack of rations in the remains especially after everyone had entered. This many mouths to feed wasn’t a problem that could be solved with the limited rations the soldiers had.

No matter how much dissatisfaction Zhong Yutang had for this heavenly king, he had to agree that the food really came at a critical juncture!

The heavenly network distributed slices of the fruit as the little squirrel sat on Lu Shu’s palms, looking at the fruits being taken away with teary eyes while it couldn’t do anything to stop it. This feeling… was so frustrating…

“From the squirrel’s distress, +1+1+1+1…”
