Chapter 268: Alone (Part 2)

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Gao Yi suddenly figured out Lu Shu’s words when he asked if they did not dare to as he savoured the words, “did not dare to”.

Before they came, what exactly happened between Lu Shu and these animals?

“Everyone, rest and wash up here. This forest is too weird, we can only wait till sunrise before setting off.”, said Gao Yi.

As everyone received the instructions, they realised that the animals indeed were extremely obedient and thus, stopped worrying and sat by the firepit.

Lu Shu added more firewood to the firepit and as he saw how pitiful these guys were all of them were injured.

Some students looked down and saw how pitiful they were then looked at how Lu Shu relaxingly added wood, they regretted not listening to Lu Shu that afternoon to stay back.

Should they have stayed back together, all that happened afterward would not have happened.

Wei Ganyi saw everyone else’s expression and thought that he had to do something before the students blamed him for insisting to bring them into the forest.

He sat by the firepit and looked at Lu Shu seriously and said, “Sorry, I should’ve listened to you.”

Lu Shu was shocked for a moment and laughed, “Why are you apologetic to me, anyways you guys are the ones injured, not me, you need not apologise to me…”

Wei Ganyi’s face turned black and thought what Lu Shu said made sense!

“From Wei Ganyi’s distress, +333…”

Lu Shu responded in an old voice, “Young men, don’t get too arrogant because your practicing journey had been too smooth. You should know that staying humble will help in improvement, improvement leads to arrogance, arrogance leads to falling behind… falling behind would deserve to be punished and punishment will bring back humbleness… experiencing some setback is not bad, see, aren’t you humble now?”

As Lu Shu blabbered on, Wei Ganyi was stunned again and again…

“From Wei Ganyi’s distress, +666!”

Gao Yi was suddenly curious, “Lu Shu, did you realise that these trees were problematic? How did you realise?”

“Oh, at the beginning I was only curious how these large trees’ branches were abnormally strong, then I found animals’ remains below them, wrapped with branches so I became cautious. Afterall, it was the same at the Beimang relics where once night fell, things happened out of the blue.

Gao Yi nodded, “I see, Lu Shu, your reasoning abilities are pretty good.”

“Of course,”, Lu Shu was elated to hear someone compliment his reasoning abilities, “Let me tell you, reasoning requires observation of details. When I was in middle school, my schoolmates always discussed Detective Conan and Sherlock Holmes. However, Holmes’ Chinese name “fu er mo si” starts with the letter “F” instead of “H” which should be the case for translation. I wondered if the translator was a Hokkien? How could he not discriminate between letters H and F, guess what was the key to it?”

Wei Ganyi subconsciously asked, “What?”

Lu Shu proudly responded, “Hahaha, I checked and found that Sherlock Holmes’ translator is Lin Yu, a man of modern literature, a translator and a Hokkien…how’s my reasoning ability?”

Lu Shu’s then had an expression of anticipation, anticipating praises.

“Wei Ganyi, Gao Yi and the rest faces turned black, “Hehe, quite good…”

“From Gao Yi’s distress, +101!”

From Wei Ganyi’s distress, +102!”

“From…”

“Lets… not talk about this for now.”, Gao Yi calmed down, “Lu Shu, what do we do tomorrow?”

Lu Shu paused for a moment, “I have something important on tomorrow, I suggest that you guys quickly meet up with the rest to ensure that every night you may secure an empty ground.”

“Acting alone?”, Gao Yi and Wei Ganyi looked at each other, puzzled that Lu Shu was going to act alone?

They could not understand why would anyone act alone in such a dangerous place. By logic, won’t normal people here, by nature, stay in groups?

Lu Shu emphasised slightly, “I have something important on so I won’t be with you guys.”

To Lu Shu, the most important thing was to find Xiaoyu and secondly, to find more little animals and pluck their teeth etc. as in such a gigantic forest…there must be unlimited animals.

Furthermore, he has more or less understood how the forest was like and so, to move about here, little danger was present.

It was necessary to continue being careful but he did not want to be restricted by following a large group and to move faster, it was necessary to move alone.

“If you act alone and fall into danger, who will be there to help?”, Gao Yi wanted Lu Shu to stay with them as honestly, to look out for Lu Shu was only a small part, more of him felt that Lu Shu had more experience in handling relics.

However, Lu Shu had already decided and was determined to stop negotiating with them on this.

This time the relic was so huge, beyond what Lu Shu imagined and to be honest, whether the 15-day food provision given by the Heavenly Network was sufficient for everyone remained questionable but more crucially, was the water supply.

What he brought in the seal of lands was not a storeroom and could he provide clean water for so many people? Moreover, could he clearly explain the water’s source?

All in all, Lu Shu had too many secrets. It was still acceptable to follow a group for a short period of time to figure out the forest but for the entire journey, even if they found anything good, he would feel bad to keep for himself.

This was the most important…

That night, everyone went to sleep with complicated emotions while Gao Yi remained worried that the animals in the empty ground would suddenly attack them. However, as Lu Shu vouched, the animals remained obedient the entire night.

This…was indeed such a miracle!

Gao Yi still felt that Lu Shu is not as simple as he imagined. He thought about how Lu Shu could achieve credit in the Beimang relics and felt he was right.

Early that morning, the fire had died as no one added more firewood throughout the night, leaving behind only some smoke.

The animals had already escaped once the forest returned to normal and whenever their tongue licked the opening of their broken teeth, they would unknowingly produce high distress values for Lu Shu.

Gao Yi suddenly sat up half-awaked and quietly scolded himself for being so careless by sleeping so soundly as by right, he should have rostered for the students and him to take night shifts but he could not bear to when he saw how tired the students were.

Gao Yi decided to hang in there for a night and only make the request the next day.

Gao Yi then started to observe the situation on the empty ground. He was shocked as at this wee hour when the sun had barely risen, not only the animals went missing.

Lu Shu was too.
