Chapter 280: Chapter 280

In the glistening forest, Wang Xinkai and the rest continued to move deeper in as everyone except Lu Shu were doing their best to fight the weird trees.

Lu Shu looked around and thought that this would not do. If others realise that he was not attacked by the weird trees, wouldn’t they drag him out to be experimented on?

He quickly wrung out a bunch of tree brunch from the weird tree beside him and wrapped them around himself as though he had just been attacked then help the rest escape.

Some of the students were quite touched as they saw the numerous broken branches on Lu Shu and thought that while he was attacked, he still wanted to help others so they felt they misunderstood him!

Although he was not right in his mind, the student had a good heart!

They recalled how Lu Shu protected everyone along the way, chasing away the wild animals, they almost shed tears. He is definitely Year 2010’s Best Student!

With Lu Shu’s help, the rest of the students immediately felt less pressured instinctually!

The formation continued moving forward but still saw no sign of Li Li. As Wang Xinkai helped the students chop off tree branches, he yelled, “Li Li! Where are you? We are here to save you!”

However, there was no response from within the forest. Lu Shu thought: They were still far from where he and Li Li fought but even if they found Li Li’s corpse, who could tell that it was done by him?

Just then, Wang Xinkai frowned and said, “This can’t go on. I cannot let everyone risk themselves for one person! Attention! Retreat back to the empty ground!”

Lu Shu was relieved to hear that as he could barely continue with his act…

When everyone returned back to the empty ground, all of them were traumatised as Li Li disappeared for no reason, causing them to fear the unknown: Li Li was a D-grade expert with a meta-sword and yet was still defeated in the forest. What other unexpected dangers were hidden in this forest?

To them, their first reaction was that Li Li was attacked but Wang Xinkai did thought if Li Li was a spy but his timing of disappearance was not right as at that time, the sky was almost dark and so even if he wanted to do something, he would not have chosen then.

No matter how impressive one was, so long he or she was not at the Heavenly Kings’ standard, it was inevitable that he or she would be helpless in the forest when acting alone.

Wang Xinkai’s voice rang, “From today onwards, everyone must not move about alone, even if you are just going to the toilet. Look out for one another. Since I’m leading the team, I must be responsible for everyone.”

Everyone acknowledged. They would not seek their own deaths. The smooth search for relics became dangerous once more.

While they wallowed in their sorrows, Lu Shu happily received the abundance of high distress values emitted endlessly!

He caused Li Li’s disappearance so all these fear contributed to his distress values.

Lu Shu looked at these large sums of distress values and suddenly thought of a question: these emotions could be considered as fear but why does it seem like the distress values from fear are higher than those from other emotions?

Perhaps there was an explanation for it? Lu Shu could not understand as he never noticed this issue until he saw the inflated distress values from fear then he suddenly realised this issue. However, there was no reference book for such things so Lu Shu did not know if his judgement was accurate.

Everyone slowly fell asleep and Lu Shu started to consider how to leave.

…

In the morning, the impact of Li Li’s disappearance did not disappear as everyone seemed quieter. Lu Shu saw their dejected looks and felt slightly… haha, bad? No, not at all.

Just treat this as a gift for the students. If he had to name it, call it “Ringing the Warning Bell”…

To prevent them from being too careless in the relics and lose their lives…

Lu Shu suddenly felt heroic!

This was just the periphery of the relics. Lu Shu felt the atmosphere’s magical energy become more concentrated but still, nowhere near how concentrated it was in the core of the Beimang relics.

A conclusion could be derived: They were still far from the core area.

Wang Xinkai looked at the discouraged Daoyuan Class students and said calmly, “As compared to the Beimang relics in Yuzhou, we are considered successful already. Although Mr Li Li went missing, we cannot assume that he was attacked. Maybe he found some clues about the Matrix Eye and followed them, maybe there are other reasons. Regardless, I want all of you to get yourselves together as the responsibility of exploring the relics is on us.”

Fu Xuehong nodded and said, “It is impossible for the journey to be smooth. I hope everyone adjust your mentality.”

“Let’s set off”, Wang Xinkai said as he led the team to move on.

These form teachers of the Daoyuan Class had the main responsibility of taking care of everyone’s psychological needs so that everyone could quickly become assume their role as a combatant.

However, Wang Xinkai realised that what they said did not have much effect. He regretted not listening to the coaches when he was in the army on how to motivate his people.

However, Wang Xinkai also realised that in the entire team, only one student was not affected at all… Lu Shu.

From that morning when they set off, this guy has been actively plucking teeth from the wild animals they came across.

Wang Xinkai felt hesitant. He should be happy that he found a psychologically strong student but why did he not feel happy? This guy was definitely not just psychologically strong, his mental strength was gigantic!

However, Lu Shu had been so since he joined them so no one thought of it further.

In the afternoon, a black cheetah emerged in the forest. Everyone ran away before Wang Xinkai could react but when he did, he just let it go since everyone had ran away. In the end, Lu Shu who was at the back of the team yelled, “No running! Stand still, do you hear me, I’m speaking to you!”

A gust of wind blew past Wang XInkai and Lu Shu had already dashed into the forest, leaving Wang Xinkai, Fu Xuehong and the rest behind in chaos.

It had already ran away, why did Lu Shu still chase for…

However, Wang XInkai was not too bothered and the team continued to move forward. Based on previous experience, Lu Shu would very quickly pluck a tooth from the cheetah and return to the team.

No one was concerned but in the end, after two hours, Wang Xinkai suddenly thought about it and stopped. Lu Shu did not return…

Did he get lost chasing the cheetah? Could he be more reliable? Honestly, for some unknown reason, Wang Xinkai did not even consider the possibility that Lu Shu had died after being defeated by an animal…

No wonder Wang Xinkai kept feeling as though the team was missing something. So it was Lu Shu’s back and forth shadow!
