Chapter 1229: Chapter 1228: Let Me Do It

The other three teenagers don’t recognize Fei Yunqing or the other three young people, but they do recognize this Little Fatty; this Little Fatty is an elite of the Ancient Family!

Originally, they thought he was the leader among them, but now it seems that they all listen to Luo Yirui?

Luo Yirui watched the Vertical Pupils jumping below and was sure these were the same ones that had hunted them down earlier. It looked like their ’infighting’ hadn’t completely consumed them.

There are eight Vertical Pupils in total, and given those present, it is unlikely they could defeat them directly. Attacking from behind might have a chance, but it’s not feasible to send someone out as bait.

If he were to be the bait, he wouldn’t fully trust those attacking the Vertical Pupils. Exhausting himself in such a manner would be a wasted effort.

Luo Yirui thought hard about it but still didn’t know what to say in front of these people; subconsciously, he didn’t want to use the Spirit Formation Talisman, especially since things hadn’t pressed them to that point.

In truth, ever since Little Fatty and Fu Xuan Ge saw him use the Spirit Formation Talisman, the secret couldn’t be kept. But Mom always said that in chaotic situations, maintaining stability is important. Recklessly exposing one’s strength and cards put oneself at risk of being easily eliminated.

"Brother Xiao Rui, look at the window over there!" one teenager shouted.

Luo Yirui glanced at the direction he pointed out; it was a typical warehouse window, positioned quite high—normally unreachable. But they were high up as well.

Luo Yirui’s eyes lit up; this window was indeed the optimal escape route!

However, the problem was that the merchandise and the small window were connected by several shelves—if the shelves were knocked down by the Vertical Pupils midway, they’d be in trouble.

"Let’s go," Luo Yirui said, stepping forward toward it, and as soon as he moved, Little Fatty and the others immediately followed.

Fei Yunqing saw this and realized it was best to follow these children. Their experience was clearly richer than his as an adult; these kids were fearlessly bold and daring, unlike his concerns and hesitations at his age.

The other three teenagers silently followed, the one who had previously questioned Luo Yirui felt deeply ashamed, wondering if he had been temporarily senseless at such a critical time.

The group moved across the high stacks of goods, with the Vertical Pupils trailing them, arms raised high, exhibiting a desire that made one’s skin crawl.

Nearing the shelves, the Vertical Pupils also followed. One accidentally circled around and crashed into the shelves, causing them to sway a bit before stabilizing.

Seeing this, those behind all broke into a cold sweat—is it still safe to cross these shelves?

One can imagine that as soon as they stepped onto the shelves, the Vertical Pupils would rush over, causing the shelves to collapse!

Luo Yirui obviously thought of this problem. Without solving it, ascending would be akin to walking into death.

"We need someone to distract them," Luo Yirui stated.

The crowd exchanged glances, no one willing to take on the role of distraction.

Luo Yirui glanced at the pile of goods against the wall; once those people ascended, they’d be relatively safe. With this in mind, he turned back.

"I’ll divert the Vertical Pupils; you all go first," Luo Yirui declared.

He wasn’t exactly noble or selfless, but given the situation, there was no other option.
