A loud noise came from over there, but it didn't attract the attention of a single Vertical Pupil. Not because they had gotten smarter, but because the tantalizing scent of Luo Yirui's blood earlier made them single-minded—they had to chase down Luo Yirui.
Luo Yirui moved quickly, always pursued by the Vertical Pupils, yet never letting them catch up. However, this couldn't continue forever because the stack of cargo was about to end. If he didn't get up by then, he would either fall and get surrounded by the Vertical Pupils or get grabbed during the brief pause and be dragged down into an ambush.
Luo Yirui reached for the Paralysis Talisman and discovered it was gone!
His heart sank. He only needed to delay the Vertical Pupil chasing him for two seconds to flip up, but he couldn't even gain those two seconds here.
Black Coal Ball was at a loss too. Having caught the scent of Luo Yirui's blood, the Vertical Pupils went berserk.
