Chapter 1009 - 1018: I Can’t Make the Decision (Part 2)
Chapter 1009: Chapter 1018: I Can’t Make the Decision (Part 2)
A bunch of people who are a big deal outside, considered the elite among the world’s elite.
Right now, in Avril’s eyes, they’re like dogs that lost their homes, so pitiful it’s hard to watch.
At this moment, she didn’t find it amusing; instead, she felt conflicted.
Lin Xi glanced over and noticed the two Peak Soldier Kings from Del’s side didn’t come in with them.
It seems they died outside, probably due to bad luck and not being as strong as the others.
The seven of them were back to their initial injuries, with each person’s strength at about half of their peak, or even less.
For instance, Avril’s clan elder, who lost an arm, was likely more severely injured than other Innates.
Dek and the two people Lin Xi just saved gave Lin Xi a forced smile, looking quite awkward.
They expressed helplessness over what just happened.
After all, they were only of Peak Soldier King strength, unable to speak in front of four Innates.
After a while, when the seven calmed down, their expressions were somewhat desolate.
When they went outside, they thought their current strength gave them a significant chance to escape the giant bear.
But after going out, they realized they underestimated the bear’s strength, or maybe the bear was hiding some of its strength earlier.
Even though it was injured and old, it still was a mid-level Innate powerhouse.
Moreover, this giant bear hadn’t just unlocked intelligence, its wisdom was very high, almost as much as an adult human.
They hadn’t noticed this earlier; it was part of what the bear concealed initially.
Only after this breakout attempt did they realize this, which led them to be forced back into Stone Mountain, losing two more people.
"Let’s recover with Spirit Stones first!"
The seven sat not far from Lin Xi, beginning to heal their injuries and restore strength.
About ten minutes later, embarrassment appeared on the four Innates’ faces, soon followed by the other three.
Because they now found the speed of healing and strength recovery was significantly slower than before.
At this speed, it would take at least a day to restore eighty percent of their strength.
"A whole day!" Del frowned.
The others also looked grim, "That’s too long!"
Knowing that they were driven near Stone Mountain by the bear for over ten hours, another day would make it two days.
Two days without a drop of water or a bite to eat could greatly impair even exceptional people’s performance.
It’s a vicious cycle!
Because weakened performance means even less power to face the bear.
As time passed, without food or drink, their strength would rapidly decline.
In seven or eight days, they’d surely die of thirst or hunger.
If the outside world knew about this, they’d laugh to death.
So many powerhouses dying so pathetically and in frustration.
"Thirsty?" Lin Xi asked Avril beside him.
Avril was stunned; denying thirst would be a lie, and as an ordinary person, she had long been hungry and thirsty.
Hearing Lin Xi, her mouth felt parched.
Her stomach also started growling at this moment.
She blushed, a bit embarrassed.
But she glared at Lin Xi, not wanting to talk to him. Couldn’t he tell they were hungry and thirsty?
This state was obvious to everyone.
"Hungry?" Lin Xi asked again.
This moment, Avril felt like cursing, "Are you ever going to stop?"
The more she was provoked in this state, the more obvious her hunger became.
Even the seven recovering on the ground felt uncomfortable, with greatly reduced focus.
But the next moment, Avril was utterly stunned.
Because Lin Xi had somehow procured a backpack.
He took out bread and mineral water from the bag.
"Where did that come from?" Avril asked in surprise, snatching the bread and water from Lin Xi and immediately started eating and drinking.
Honestly, she was starving.
Of course, she didn’t gorge, maintaining a steady pace.
Otherwise, it was easy to choke in these situations, very bad for the body.
After drinking half a bottle of water and eating the whole bread, Avril felt much better and more energetic.
This state was completely different from before when she was treated.
"Where did you get that bag?" she steadied her emotions and asked again.
Because just a moment ago, Lin Xi had nothing, then suddenly there was a bag.
Lin Xi certainly wouldn’t say the bag came from the Jade Pendant Space.
He said, "When we came in, I found it troublesome, so I left it behind this rock."
Avril had no doubts since she felt it was the only explanation.
She asked again, "What else is in there?"
Lin Xi replied, "Bread, water, chocolate, compressed biscuits, and so on!"
Avril nodded. When they came in, they also had a bag with similar stuff, but it was all left outside.
"Give me a chocolate and a biscuit!"
Lin Xi wasn’t stingy, honestly speaking, he still had plenty of such things in his Jade Pendant Space.
Their actions immediately drew the attention of the recovering seven nearby, their eyes lighting up.
Although, due to their strength, they weren’t that hungry or thirsty, having food and drink to replenish energy was ideal.
Moreover, it would take them a day to recover anyway.
With food and drink, they could recover even better.
"Avril."
Her clan elder stood up, calling out to her.
Honestly, Avril didn’t want to deal with them, but it couldn’t be ignored.
"What is it, elder?" She knew what they meant, but pretended not to.
The armless elder said unabashedly, "Ask your friend to give us some food!"
Del and Dek, along with the other four, stood up, eyes on Lin Xi, making their intentions clear.
The two Innates kept a neutral expression, but Dek and the three Peak Soldier Kings looked awkward.
Knowing they had just abandoned Lin Xi, asking them for something now was really embarrassing.
As for the four Innates, they were likely thick-skinned from various experiences.
"I can’t decide that!" Avril shook her head, "You can ask Lin Xi directly!"
Lin Xi didn’t mind at all, smiling, "Sure, you can ask me!"
The two elders nodded and looked condescendingly at Lin Xi, "Young man, give us two bags of bread, two bottles of water, four chocolates..."
They weren’t polite at all, acting as if Lin Xi owed them.
Del and the others were more courteous, "Young Lin, give us the same."
But Dek and the three Peak Soldier Kings didn’t know how to speak up, being much more concerned about face.
