"Don't tell me you're..."
Though his face was always expressionless, Yu Sheng's blank look today was slightly different from before.
Before, it had been a lack of joy or sorrow. Today, he looked more like he was in a bad mood.
Before he could finish, Yu Sheng paused slightly and turned a brooding gaze on him.
"Uh..."
"What I mean is, don't tell me you're... you're..."
"Huh!"
Sun Wen panicked for no apparent reason and glanced around. Then, as though he had noticed something, he reached out and pointed at a nearby tree. "That tree... something's off about it. Look, the other trees are all about five meters apart, spaced very evenly. Only this one is all alone in this corner, looking completely out of place."
"Surely trees don't discriminate against other trees."
Sun Wen decisively changed the subject, walked past Yu Sheng, and stood beside that tree to analyze it carefully. At the end, he even remembered to turn toward Yu Sheng and say, "If anything happens in a moment, remember to save me!"
With that, a dagger appeared in Sun Wen's hand, and he drove it hard into the trunk.
Strangely, though, there was none of the resistance he had expected. The tree seemed hollow, and the dagger slid straight inside without obstruction.
"It's hollow?"
"There really is something wrong with it..."
Eager to give it a try, Sun Wen grinned excitedly and swung his dagger faster.
Bark flew as Sun Wen hacked an opening in it, exposing the space inside.
Inside the hollow tree sat a battered wooden box.
"I just wanted to change the subject. I didn't expect there to actually be something..."
Even Sun Wen was stunned at the sight!
What spacing between trees? He had just been fucking afraid Yu Sheng would beat him
