Chapter 22: Steadfast Loyalty
Perhaps it had no concept of how scary those creatures were, but just now, it came in direct contact as known as “death” for the first time
Zhou Yu didn’t know if it really understood, but his intuition told hient
Zhou Yu’s body had been wet the whole tiht where the shade was sparse on purpose
He lifted up the little thing with one hand, then smiled, “Look at your stupid expression”
“Hrrn?” The small fellow tilted its head
Zhou Yu was suspicious that it had devised this angle on purpose, it was the best atothers think it was both foolish and stupid
“Some people think that we are destined to be this way from the moment we are born, but, you can’t accept this viewpointOnce you start to think that way, you’ll never be able to surpass yourselfFor exaon, even if you clearly know that it’s stronger than you are, andas you’re not afraid, it won’t think that you’re weakDo you understand?”
“M listened to Zhou Yu earnestly
Its pair of aht to hie?
Against the sun, the edges of its black doere faintly suffused with a silver glow
Zhou Yu unexpectedly thought of that enoranism that had blocked in front of him in the river
An ih his mind
It was quickly rejected
“If you could really turn into such a big guy… That would coainst the law of conservation of matter”
Zhou Yu raised the little fellow up high and shook it aroundIt squinted in a happy expression, thinking that Zhou Yu was playing with it
Bringing it back down, Zhou Yu continued forward
More than half the day had gone byZhou Yu was starting to feeling hungry, but it was still bearableThe little felloas still perched on his shoulder, curiously looking around
The vines had coolden fruits were growing on the vine
The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of the fruits
Zhou Yu sed, the sweetness see himIt reminded him of the aroma of the failed apple pie Mei Xi had baked for their team
Zhou Yu did not go up to it
The vines were strange, they al its vitality from it
And the fruits on the vine were too pretty
In the instant Zhou Yu looked away, he faintly saw that there wereunderneath the vinesThey were slowly being strangled by the vines until their last breath, then the barbed tips of the vines would pierce into their bodies and suck out their nutrients
Zhou Yu closed his eyes and took a breath, fortunately, he had held himself back…
Mysteriously, Zhou Yu felt that his hunger pangs were er than before
He had a desire to rush up and stuff those golden fruits into his belly
So hungry
Too hungry…
Zhou Yu stepped closer to the vines, in only that one step, a string stretched taut sohtsHe suddenly stopped
He shouldn’t go any further
Its fruits were definitely not safe! The aroanism’s willpowerThen, after the vines lured it closer, it would become food for the vines!
Just as Zhou Yu took a step back, that sweet scent seemed to becoain broke away from his control and his heart rate sped upHe was like a h Zhou Yu knew he shouldn’t go any closer, he was unable to stop himself
As he came near the vines, it had already extended itself towards him
As he came near the vines, it had already extended itself towards him
Just a little more, and the vines would be able to wrap around him!
Suddenly, a sharp pain caer, as if countless fireworks were bursting in his veinsIt cleared away that sweet radually became calm
Zhou Yu suddenly came to his senses and stepped backHe looked down and found that the vines had already reached his toes, and felt cold sweat down his back
Once the vines le hianisms that had fallen into the trap and have the nutrients in his body sucked dry
Zhou Yu quickly retreatedThe vines, seeing that they were unable to entice Zhou Yu closer, shrunk back
Zhou Yu raised his hand and found the little thing biting his finger
If it wasn’t for the little thing, he would have really died this time
The little thing kept sucking with a dissatisfied expression, its cheeks puffing outIt angrily looked at Zhou Yu, as if saying, “You see? What would you do without !”
That’s right, without you, I’d be dead
Zhou Yu did not deliberately stop it froer, but he was sure that it had broken his skin just now, or else, how could he have snapped out of it?
Quickly leaving the range of the sweet-scented miasma, Zhou Yu knocked on his head a few tirance? If he had decisively evacuated the area, there wouldn’t have been an accident… It seery and tired, for his willpower to drop to this point
The little thing saw that Zhou Yu was thinking, so it released his finger and cli Zhou Yu’s face with the soft fluff on his head
Zhou Yu smiled and petted it a few tiers were still undaed
“Tell me, did you suck my blood?” Zhou Yu patted its back
“Hrrn?” It tilted its head again
Zhou Yu shook his head and helplessly said, “Forget itSuck it if you wantWithout you, I’d be dead”
Accepting it at this point, Zhou Yu decided to stop investigating the little thing’s hunting patterns, and what sort of organism it was
Accepting it at this point, Zhou Yu decided to stop investigating the little thing’s hunting patterns, and what sort of organism it was
Suddenly, the little thing suddenly opened its eyes wide and let out a sharp cry
At the sa hi twisted around his leg and dragged him away
Zhou Yu fell to the groundHe finally realized that the vines that had been e hiuard!
The vines dragged away Zhou Yu very quickly, his body scorching with pain fro skinned alive
The little thing caught up to hi to increase his weight, but to no useNext, it ju to cut them off
Zhou Yu was not scared by this scenarioEven though all of his equip was still thereHe raised the leg that was not tangled up in the vine and pulled out the army knife, then stabbed it into the vine
The vine seeorously
The little thing was still trying its best to bite through the vineIts left as already broken froround
“Hurry up and go! Idiot!” Zhou Yu was forcefully stabbing the the vine with his dagger while using his other hand to try and wave it away, but the little thing kept clinging on and refused to leave
In the blink of an eye, the vine had dragged them back to that fruit tree
What Zhou Yu didn’t expect was that when the vines that were twined around the tree came unraveled, layer by layer, it revealed that the center of the tree was hollowLike a gapingfro Zhou Yu inside, he stabbed the dagger into the ground
“Urgh!” The vines were too strongThe veins on Zhou Yu’s forear pulled inside
Seeing that it was unable to bite through the vine, the little thing returned to bite down on Zhou Yu’s shoulder, trying its best to drag him outwards
The vine saw that Zhou Yu was struggling intensely and irip
Zhou was strangled to the point where it became hard for him to breathAll the bones in his body were about to crack, yet he still held on to the dagger and refused to let go
He understood that once he let go of his only weapon, he would have nothing else to rely on
Zhou Yu re who had been biting onto hie of guilt, but he was also moved
If he died, then it was because of his bad luck
Zhou Yu re who had been biting onto hie of guilt, but he was also moved

But that little fellow… Zhou Yu clenched his jaw and and wrung out his wrist, but it was futile
I’th…
Zhou Yu’s thoughts were slowly starting to slip into a muddled state
Fragments of his life flashed by in hislanternHe saw Zhao Cheng, Cheng Chong, and all of his former brothers
Tiht of the tiradually fading into evening and the street la their shadows stretch out
Zhou Yu had just had a fight with the boy bullying Zhou Qing and his eyelids were swollen
