Chapter 285: Chen Baili is injured! (Part 3)

A battle between B-grade fighters was unfolding beneath Lu Shu’s eyes but he was too far away and hence, could not see what was happening clearly. If not because these forests were as bright as neon lights, he would not even have noticed the entire collapsed forest.

This was the difference, Lu Shu sighed. While other Heavenly Network’s fighters and Daoyuan Class’ students had to hide in the empty grounds, the B-grade experts were able to easily wipe out entire batches of the weird trees.

Lu Shu began to run in that direction as he did not want to miss this first opportunity to watch B-grade experts battle.

This was the first time Lu Shu used all his strength to sprint since he reached C-grade. The fallen leaves on the ground were thrown into the hair behind Lu Shu. Lu Shu did not even had to push the branches in his way as he used the celestial cloak to cover himself. The few branches that he ran into however, were not capable of injuring him.

Just then, Lu Shu suddenly came across an empty ground where a dozen animals was gathered at. The animals were alerted and looked curiously at the lone human who had appeared at an unimaginable speed. They did not even manage to take a good glance at how he looked like.

A cheetah looked in fear at Lu Shu’s back view sprint into the forest and disappeared in a blink of an eye then turned around and roared at the other animals: Although I did not clearly see him, that should be the one who plucked my tooth!

The other animals were relieved that he did not notice them

In fact, Lu Shu was also conflicted if watching the B-grade experts fight was more important or was plucking animals’ teeth more important. It was a tough choice to make and Lu Shu felt that…

Just as the animals were relieved, they suddenly saw that human running back…

Of course, watching a fight was not as important as distress values!

“Come come come, time is tight and the mission is important. Be obedient and don’t move”, Lu Shu said cheerfully.

“You, come over. Yes, you, don’t hide behind”.

“It’s your turn”.

When it was the cheetah’s turn, Lu Shu forced open its mouth and was shocked, “Hmm, why are you missing a molar? It must be because you were being naughty and fought with your friends! Come, let me help you pluck the other one. It will look better paralleled and your face will look slimmer!”

After 5 minutes, the entire bunch of animals looked miserably at Lu Shu’s back view as he left.

The cheetah roared: All of you have no rights to be miserable. My teeth have been plucked twice!

…

Lu Shu sped up as he headed towards the battlefield. Honestly, he was not certain that it was Chen Baili who was there.

However, it was too far. Along the way, Lu Shu found another empty ground with Daoyuan Class student and carefully made a detour around it. He was not too far from the battlefield when the students and teachers heard some movement in the forest. However, they did not dare to enter the forest to see what was going on and could only remain alert, ready for battle anytime.

When Lu Shu was about to reach, he slowed down. By then, the fight had died down without a sound. Lu Shu thought for a bit and quickly took a bunch of branches to wrap around him as he would not know how to explain as to why the weird trees did not attack him if he bumped into anyone.

This could be serious. If others did not think too much, it was not an issue but if others suspected why Lu Shu was not attacked by the weird trees, it would be serious. Although his identity as a powerful metahuman was public, the problem was that in the Heavenly Network’s records, his practice of the Yinyang Kinship of the Tree was just slow and not completely non-existent.

Lu Shu slowly headed towards the battlefield with the branches wrapped around him. In the end, when he arrived, he was shocked to see that a forest the size of a football field was already in ruins. One by one, the weird trees collapsed while all the leaves became dull.

It seemed as though the entire surface had been excavated several times until everything had been dug up.

How fierce must the battle have been to create such a scene?

Lu Shu took out the compass from his pocket and realised that its needle no longer pointed towards the core of the relics. Instead, it pointed to his left.

He headed towards the left of the ruins. The collapsed trees hindered his vision so he could only carefully search amongst the trees to see if he could find anything.

The Corpse of the Dog in the celestial map was ready. If he bumped into the enemy, nothing else could bother him as only a real expert could battle with Chen Baili. All he would do was to fight immediately and if he could not win, he would run.

Just then, Lu Shu heard someone in front asked calmly, “How dare you to return again?”

Lu Shu looked around but did not see anyone else around. Was it referring to him?! That was… Chen Baili’s voice?

“I am Lu Shu, do you remember me? I am the Lu Shu who taught Li Yixiao proverbs!”, Lu Shu stood still as he feared that if he moved closer, he would be mistaken as someone else and be killed by the old Taoist priest.

“From Chen Baili’s distress, +313…”

“Come over”, Chen Baili’s voice suddenly weakened. Lu Shu was stunned as the old Taoist priest was injured. The energetic voice he used just a while ago was just a show.

Lu Shu crossed the large tree blocking his path and came in front of Chen Baili. He saw the old Taoist priest sitting cross-legged and was extremely pale. The old Taoist priest also froze when he saw Lu Shu.

The young man in front of him was wrapped in layers of tree branches like mummies. Was Lu Shu acting as a Tree Spirit? What kind of image was that?!

Lu Shu saw the old Taoist priest’s look and laughed, “I heard some noise in the forest and came to help but was attacked by those weird trees.”

Chen Baili nodded and accepted the reason. He had seen how the weird trees attacked humans and had even saved some students in distress, just that… that was too many tree branches!

“Sir… Who did you fight with causing such chaos?”, Lu Shu finally asked his greatest question, curious to know if it was an animal in the relics or a human.

“A B-grade earth element metahuman from outside. He probably sneaked into the relics from underground which was no feat for him. However, just now I pulled him out of the ground and fought with him but he escaped from underground while I was not paying attention. You don’t need to worry as he is more injured than me.”, Chen Baili said calmly.

Lu Shu was understanding those words and for some reason, they seemed like what a child would say after a fight, “I may be injured but he is way more injured!”. Deja vu.

However, he did not dare to speak his mind as based on the old Taoist priest’s temper, he would probably kill Lu Shu on the spot if he spoke his mind.

Chen Baili said, “Guard me so that…”

The person in front of him disappeared before he finished his words.

That moment, Lu Shu saw a red poisonous snake peeking out from the ground beside him to see what was happening. Lu Shu immediately shouted, “Wait for a while!”

Then, Chen Baili saw Lu Shu ran towards the poisonous snake, held it at its head and plucked a tooth then threw it out before returning to Chen Baili, “What did you want to say?”.

Chen Baili kept silent for a long while and thought of what he wanted to say.

“From Chen Baili’s distress, +199!”

What is wrong with you!?
