Chapter - 2889

Meanwhile, the fruits on the rest of the chestnut trees were not quite ripe yet.

"I wonder if the aborigines under the Restrictive Spell would like these unripe chestnuts.”

"Just pick them. We won't know unless we try."

Just as Zeke and the others were about to make their move, a bolt of thunder and a crack of lightning split the air out of the blue. It was loud to the point of being deafening.

They hastily jerked their heads up, only to be greeted by the sight of a spatial crack in mid-air. On the heels of that, a figure fell out of it.

On a closer look, the few of them were scared out of their wits.

It was none other than Squirrel.

Oh no, it's that squirrel! Good Lord! It actually ripped open space with its teeth and caught up to us by traversing space directly!

Both Zeke's and Quinlan's expressions turned grim.

Indeed, its speed is slow. But that doesn't matter when it can traverse space! That makes it much faster than us! Fortunately, it opened the exit above us and not beside us. Otherwise, we'd have turned into minced meat with a single bite from it!

They all trembled violently. Oh God, we're doomed! We might have created a cosmic mess this time!

Falling from the sky, Squirrel plummeted at breakneck speed, seemingly having lost control of its body.

Luckily, it spread its tail in the nick of time and curbed its fall. slowing its speed.

However, it fell from too high a height. so there was still a muffled bang when it hit the ground despite having tried its best to decelerate.

Opening its mouth, it spat out a mouthful of blood, its state beyond pathetic.

Although it was not fatally injured, it appeared to be in agonizing pain. judging from its expression.

Zeke cautiously asked Quinlan, "Say. Mr. Hayes... why didn't that squirrel set the opening of the spatial passage beside us?"

After giving it some thought, Quinlan said, "Could it be that it's rather kind and didn't want to hurt us?"

"Do you believe that?" Zeke scoffed.

Quinlan shook his head. "Nope."

“Even if it didn't want to hurt us, it didn't have to set the opening at such a high place, almost falling to its death.” Zeke added.

"The only explanation is it can't guarantee the place where the exit of the space it rips through would appear.” Quinlan concluded.

Zeke burst out laughing. “This must be it."

Oh well, this squirrel's life is pretty tragic. Its teeth are as hard as nails and have no problems breaking through an ancient supreme being's bone, but its speed is too slow. practically rendering it useless other than self-defense. In compensation, it has the ability to traverse through space, yet it can't choose where the exit opens.

He hollered at Squirrel, "How impressive, Mr. Squirrel! I'm impressed that you can even bite through space!"

Cough! Cough!

Coughing uncontrollably, Squirrel struggled up from the ground and wiped the blood off the corner of its mouth.

No sooner had it done so than blood trickled out again.

Its expression was pallid, making it clear that it was putting up a tough front.

"But of course! There's nothing in this world I can't bite through!"

Smiling, Zeke asked, “Mr. Squirrel, may I know why you opened the exit at such a high place just now? Weren't you afraid of falling to your death?"

A smidge of embarrassment crept into Squirrel. "I just like it, okay?"

"Sure, that's okay. Oh yes, Mr. Squirrel, do you mind showing us your ability to rip through space to broaden our horizons?" Zeke requested.

Squirrel said impatiently, “The space here is unstable in the first place. If I were to do so to another stretch of space, this entire space might collapse. At that time, all of us will be in danger of perishing. All right, you've all visited my place. You can now hand that Dragon King Sword over to me.”

"We merely came to your place for a look, yet we have to pay such a high price. We'll be on the losing end to give the Dragon King Sword to you. I find it unfair," Zeke countered begrudgingly.

"How about this? Show us your teleportation technique, and I'll willingly give this Dragon King Sword to you. What do you think?"
