Chapter 1233: Chapter 1232: Making a Move

A loud noise came from over there, but it didn’t attract the attention of a single Vertical Pupil. Not because they had gotten smarter, but because the tantalizing scent of Luo Yirui’s blood earlier made them single-minded—they had to chase down Luo Yirui.

Luo Yirui moved quickly, always pursued by the Vertical Pupils, yet never letting them catch up. However, this couldn’t continue forever because the stack of cargo was about to end. If he didn’t get up by then, he would either fall and get surrounded by the Vertical Pupils or get grabbed during the brief pause and be dragged down into an ambush.

Luo Yirui reached for the Paralysis Talisman and discovered it was gone!

His heart sank. He only needed to delay the Vertical Pupil chasing him for two seconds to flip up, but he couldn’t even gain those two seconds here.

Black Coal Ball was at a loss too. Having caught the scent of Luo Yirui’s blood, the Vertical Pupils went berserk.

Cat Eye glanced at the corner, "Dad, if you don’t come out now, your son is doomed!"

Yet there was no movement on that side, the silence so complete that Black Coal Ball even thought the terrifying man had left, but his instincts told him that man was still there.

Luo Yirui could see he was almost out of space; no matter how quickly he thought, he had no solution at this point. He gritted his teeth and prepared to flip up directly; it seemed more hopeful than jumping down.

But the act of flipping up would inevitably cause a pause; at this moment, he had to leave it to fate!

Just two more steps to the end, Luo Yirui knew there was no time to waste. His right foot planted firmly, and his left foot lifted, just as the closest Vertical Pupil reached for his ankle. It seemed like it would grab him when suddenly its body halted, and it toppled to the ground!

This miraculous turn allowed Luo Yirui to successfully flip up to a higher level, where the Vertical Pupils couldn’t reach him anymore. He finally had the peace of mind to stop and rest for a bit.

Looking at the fallen Vertical Pupil, Luo Yirui was surprised and amused—his luck was off the charts; the Vertical Pupil actually tripped!

Due to this Vertical Pupil’s fall, several others behind it also tripped, but these creatures seemed not to feel pain and quickly got back up, reaching towards the cargo to try to grab Luo Yirui.

They couldn’t climb, and those who tried didn’t know how. Driven by their desire for Luo Yirui, they wouldn’t leave him alone, encircling him persistently.

Black Coal Ball sighed with relief. Although it didn’t know how that man did it, the Vertical Pupil must have tripped for a reason.

In the distance, the crowd cheered at this sight, visibly excited as they watched Luo Yirui escape from danger.

People’s hearts are made of flesh, let alone the fact that these were all youngsters present. Youngsters are different from adults; their hearts are purer. They were very grateful to Luo Yirui. Without him, they would still be trapped on the cargo, attracting more and more Vertical Pupils.

Only Fei Yunqing was puzzled. Having encountered Vertical Pupils once or twice before, he knew they wouldn’t trip without reason. This was a warehouse, all flat ground!

Luo Yirui sat cross-legged on the pile of cargo for a while to rest, then stood up, patted his backside, and walked towards the direction of the shelves, while the Vertical Pupils below moved along with him.

Luo Yirui frowned secretly. At this rate, he wouldn’t be able to cross the shelves easily; the Vertical Pupils would definitely push the shelves over!
