Spare Me, Great Lord!

The students in the empty ground gradually woke up and Gao Yi re-ignited the flames in the firepit while everyone sat around it in silence.

Some Daoyuan Class’ students even took out amenities they brought from home to clean up, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, ready to use the clean water the Heavenly Network gave them to brush their teeth.

Gao Yi was shocked, “Are all of you seeking death? Yesterday I searched the relic for a long time yet still could not find a water source, what if we run out of water? How could all of you use such precious clean water to brush your teeth!”

In fact, although a lot of students understood that the relic is very dangerous and they are not here for a holiday etc., time was needed for them to change as they had never experienced this and simply could not understand its severity.

Some student mumbled, “Severe mouth diseases will lead to fever, flu and other symptoms too…”

Gao Yi paused for a moment and spoke as per calmly, “I have to let all of you know that not to mention brushing your teeth, even the water you use to rinse your mouth better be swallowed. Maybe you will die from a fever but without water, you will definitely die! It is best that we find a rather weak animal and follow it to see where we can find drinking water but before we find a water source, no one is allowed to be wasteful.”

Gao Yi was previously a participant of the special forces and thus, had some experience with living in the wild but that morning, he observed that there was something abnormal with the atmosphere as the morning dew on tree branches were not frozen.

Usually, there are many ways to retrieve water in such mountainous areas such as from trees’ roots as Gao Yi tried before but the trees there were exceptionally weird…

Gao Yi had thought of other ways such as retrieving water from rocks, ridges and others but at this place, it was so weird such that previously used methods are all not applicable.

The best option was to follow the wild animals since they lived there permanently and so they definitely knew where to find water sources.

Once they found a water source, things would be better but if they could not find any, then they really cannot afford to waste a single drop of water.

The problem was if they had the ability to discreetly follow an animal in this forest, their territory.

Then, Gao Yi recalled how Lu Shu used clean water to wash his hands the previous night and suddenly he was worried what if Lu Shu could not find a water source.

Then again, he felt that he was thinking too much as he definitely was not living as well as Lu Shu in this forest.

Everyone ate their hardtack in silence. Initially, it tasted interesting and not too bad.

However, to eat it for meals, and for every meal, it seemed rather pathetic.

Solo combatants’ had chocolate inside them but still, chocolate was not meant for every meal.

Actually, the previous night, Gao Yi even thought of killing an animal and grill it for food to easily resolve the food issue but Lu Shu refused to kill any.

Until then, Gao Yi still did not understand why Lu Shu did not allow him to kill those animals.

Just then, rustling sounds from trees colliding into each other came from the forest on their left and it gradually came closer as though something was coming closer. Gao Yi immediately reacted as it was not just one person!

He yelled, “Are you human or animal?”.

There was no response from the forest. Everyone stood up in nervousness and some students stood behind Wei Ganyi and Gao Yi by reflex while Gao Yi’s muscles all contracted.

If was not too bad should it had been a wild animal but if it was a group of people, they were afraid that they would face a deadly battle.

“Everyone, get into the Fengji formation, based on myself as the arrowhead and prepare for battle!”, said Gao Yi calmly.

Originally, the Fengji formation was used for breakaways during attacks but the difference in their abilities left Gao Yi and Wei Ganyi whose combat power was decent enough, with no choice but to take up more responsibility and face more danger!

A wild cat walked out from the forest and Gao Yi became nervous as its built was different from the one Lu Shu had plucked a tooth from the previous night.

Behind the wild cat was a gigantic spider crawling out. It was as big as a calf, a size Gao Yi and the rest never saw before.

Then followed a buffalo breathing out coarse air, a black leopard, a…

Gao Yi and the rest froze and wondered how many animals were heading towards them?

The sun had not set and these animals are already here at the empty ground to seek refuge?

Then, suddenly they heard heavy breathing sounds as though a humongous animal was closing in from the back of the forest with heavy footsteps, scaring them.

The stress was getting too big and Gao Yi even thought of escaping!

Just then, an incomparable enormous wild boar emerged from the forest, twice the size of the one they saw the previous day!

Gao Yi and the rest realised something was not right. On the wild boar’s head was a young girl sitting cross-legged.

Was that the girl they met before entering the relic, beside the square matrix?! Some of them were puzzled and shocked.

That time, it was eye-piercing when Lu Shu and the rest were standing beside the square matrix but the most eye-piercing was the two extremely good-looking participants, Jiang Dongyi and Lu Xiaoyu, especially with Lu Xiaoyu’s age.

Seeing her again, some of the immediately recalled who she was but…why was this young girl riding on such a large wild boar?!

Piggy Girl? Was that you, Piggy Girl?!

Gao Yi calmed down and asked, “Who…are you?”

Lu Xiaoyu sat cross-legged on the wild boar’s head, tilted her head and sunk for a while, “animal whisperer, Lu Xiaoyu?”

What animal whisperer! When did Daoyuan Class conduct such lessons! We are not ignorant! How could you give yourself a title!

“From Gao Yi’sdistress, +198!”

“From Wei Ganyi’s distress,+210!”

“From…”

They were still uneasy as they wondered how did this young girl tame these wild animals? These wild animals did not look wild but more like they were domesticated.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyu asked from the wild boar’s head, “Let me ask you, have you all seen someone called Lu Shu. He is tall, handsome, gives off bad boy vibes when he smiles and exceptionally not serious.”

Wei Ganyi’s heart felt a strong attack… how is Lu Shu handsome?!”

The rest were puzzled as well. Lu Shu was already weird enough, and now another one?!”

However, the last statement was indeed quite accurate…

“From Wei Ganyi…”

“From…”

Gao Yi, looking blur, pointed to the right, “He went that way and just left this morning, about 2 hours ago.” Gao Yi now felt that his entire outlook on life and the world had been messed up, he… should not have entered this relic!

Lu Xiaoyu brightened, “Thanks, naughty pig, let’s go!”
