Chapter - 2891

Zeke stopped chattering and immediately started plucking the chestnuts.

Squirrel's eyes reddened. “Damn you, b*stards! What an unscrupulous and shameless thief! Bandits! Stop it! I say, stop!"

Zeke and Quinlan ignored Squirrel completely.

Lacey felt sorry and offered Squirrel some words of comfort. "Calm down, Squirrel. We know that these are your food, and you may go hungry if we take them away. Rest assured that we won't leave you alone. Why don't you leave this godforsaken place with us? There's plenty of food elsewhere, and the living conditions out there are a thousand times better than here. If this doesn't do, we'll bring you some food once we get out of here. What do you think?"

The squirrel squeaked as it kept traveling back and forth between different spaces, tearing them apart using its teeth.

Unfortunately, all the exits of the spatial passages would open up near Zeke and the others, resulting in Squirrel not being able to do anything to them at all.

In the end, the exasperated Squirrel squeaked even louder as it was on the verge of crying.

"Zeke, stop," requested the King of Dragons all of a sudden.

Zeke cast a confusing look at the King of Dragons, asking, "What's wrong?"

It answered, "Squirrel said it has a way to help us get past the Restrictive Spell Formation. As long as we don't take its chestnuts, it will help us go through the formation."

Huh?

Zeke looked at Squirrel and asked, "Are you sure?"

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

"Of course! I'm not as deceitful as you humans," Squirrel snapped.

Quinlan asked, "Why don't you tell us how you're going to help us get through the Restrictive Spell Formation?"

"I'll use my super-duper big teeth to make a big hole out of the Restrictive Spell Formation for you guys to pass through," Squirrel explained.

Zeke asked, "If you bite through the formation, won't the criminals who are subdued below it escape?"

Squirrel clarified, "Don't you worry. The Restrictive Spell Formation has self-healing power, so it's very strong. After I make a hole through the formation, it will automatically recover within three seconds. I doubt the underground criminals will realize what's going on during that three seconds. By the way, you lot will only have three seconds to cross the Restrictive Spell Formation. Judging from your capabilities, I bet that's more than enough time for you."

Zeke cast a glance at Quinlan. "Mr. Hayes, do you think we can trust Squirrel?"

Quinlan replied thoughtfully, "I guess we can give it a try. In any case, we can always ask Squirrel to go through the hole made on the Restrictive Spell Formation first."

"Okay," Zeke said, then turned to Squirrel. "If you dare to deceive us, we will definitely destroy your homeland."

Squirrel stated confidently, "There's no need for you to worry because the word 'cheating' doesn't even exist in my life. Now give me back all the chestnuts you've plucked."

Actually, Zeke and Quinlan had only plucked five chestnuts, which they subsequently tossed back to Squirrel.

Squirrel took the nuts and started biting them.

"Aw, it's so cute!" exclaimed Lacey.

After finishing all the chestnuts in the blink of an eye, Squirrel announced, "All right, let me bring you to the Restrictive Spell Formation now."

Along the way, Zeke had an idea. Squirrel would come in handy if we could win it over and use it to our benefit. It may even save our lives when the need arises. Although Squirrel moves slowly, it has strong teeth that can act as a weapon. I'll carry Squirrel and charge toward my enemy so that it can bite the other party to a pulp. Moreover, Squirrel has the ability to traverse through space. If we happen to be losing in a fight, we can get Squirrel's help to transport us across space and escape in the nick of time.

"Squirrel, let me ask you something. Are you interested in joining us?"

Squirrel cast a contemptuous look at Zeke. "Haha! Join you lot? You guys don't have what it takes to make me submit to you."

"Squirrel, if you join us, I can make you the second in command and put you in charge of millions. You will become a real king and not a general without an army like what you are here!"
