Chapter 1231: Chapter 1230: Go Down to Draw Aggro

Black Coal Ball heard his icy tone and felt quite annoyed, wanting to turn its backside on him and walk away, but ultimately didn’t dare to. It let out a low ’awoo’, snorted in its heart, and then left.

This man’s aura is too strong; it’s best not to suffer losses right now!

Still, Luo Yirui is adorable.

Luo Xudong from afar watched Luo Yirui. The small frame seemed to bear a heavy responsibility, and the determined expression on his face dissipated much of the chill that had gathered around Luo Xudong’s brows because of this incident, even warming his eyes.

Yet, perhaps that frame was too thin, and a trace of heartache flashed through the eyes of the usually stern man.

Luo Yirui didn’t notice the gaze fixed on him. He saw Little Fatty was ready to proceed, took a deep breath, used a sharp edge from the plastic strap binding the goods to cut his finger, then squeezed it so the blood flowed out from the cut, dripping down from high above.

He knew that his blood had a fatal allure for these not-so-smart Vertical Pupils, more attractive than regular blood, though he didn’t know why.

However, perhaps because there wasn’t much blood or because the bloody scent on those few Vertical Pupils was too strong, they seemed not to have smelled the fragrant blood, continuously surrounding the shelves, causing them to sway back and forth.

Seeing this, Luo Yirui grew a bit anxious. If they toppled the shelves, their path of retreat would be cut off, and running toward the main door would definitely mean getting caught by these Vertical Pupils.

Moreover, Luo Yirui speculated that there might be more Vertical Pupils at the door.

His blood wasn’t attracting the Vertical Pupils, and Luo Yirui was anxious. But he didn’t plan to bleed anymore; that would be akin to self-harm. His gaze shifted as he searched for Black Coal Ball.

Black Coal Ball was just here; where did it go this time?

As he pondered this, he saw Black Coal Ball walking over gracefully. Seeing its carefree demeanor, Luo Yirui got angry — he’s bleeding, and it’s enjoying itself!

"Black Coal Ball!" Luo Yirui squinted and called out to it.

Black Coal Ball glanced at him.

"Go down and lure the monsters."

Black Coal Ball: "???"

It thought you were cute just now, and you went and showed your true colors!

Black Coal Ball looked at the few pitiful drops of blood dripping from Luo Yirui’s slender finger, wanting to tell him, "This little blood might’ve evaporated before even hitting the ground; can’t you shed a bit more?"

Considering the cold guy behind it watching intently, it prudently kept its mouth shut.

With so many people around, Black Coal Ball obviously couldn’t talk, or it would be trouble if caught and studied. So, it grudgingly went down to lure the monsters.

It had plenty of ways to lead these Vertical Pupils in circles. However, luring them out entirely was unlikely, as they were very interested in the ’food’ here, different from luring monsters inside a building.

Black Coal Ball nimbly jumped down, quickly darted to the feet of those Vertical Pupils, circled around a few times, and let out a muffled purring sound in its throat, soon capturing all the Vertical Pupils’ attention and turning them to chase after Black Coal Ball.

Black Coal Ball led them toward Luo Yirui’s direction. There lay his trickling blood, which should hold them for a while, buying time for the others.

Little Fatty and the others saw all the Vertical Pupils led away, immediately leaping onto the shelves, which swayed a few times, scaring him into balancing his body carefully. Luckily, there were many packages on the shelves, possibly filled with paper or similar weighty items, preventing immediate collapse.
