Extra: Dad’s Troubles (10)

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion, though a kilometer away, still made everyone feel the earth tremble, indicating the intensity of the firepower. The spot where Xiao Shitou had been was now completely engulfed in smoke.

The camouflage vest man was still a bit nervous when he pressed the switch, fearing he would suffer a backlash like the previous few people.

When he found himself unharmed, he burst into laughter, “You little brat, I’d like to see you survive this time!”

In everyone’s eyes, such intense artillery fire meant the child was certainly dead; after all, even the most powerful Magical Artifact they had seen couldn't withstand such an attack.

Everyone cheered and ran over. The small tree had been completely blown into countless fragments, and its previous location had become a large pit several meters deep.

But when they reached the edge of the pit, they were astonished to find that the ropes on Xiao Shitou had disappeared. He was sitting at the bottom of the pit, having somehow pulled out an ice cream and was eating it with large bites.

Not only was he not dead, but there wasn't a single trace of injury on him; he was even spotless, not a speck of dust on him.

Seeing everyone arrive, the Little fellow even giggled at them, seemingly having a great time.

“This…”

These people’s eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost. That rocket launcher had incredibly fierce firepower, capable of completely destroying even planes and tanks. How could it not harm this little imp?

Xiao Shitou waved the ice cream in his hand, “Is there anything else fun? Come on! Come on!”

“This…”

Wang Ziyan’s face was extremely grim. She had previously considered that kidnapping Ye Bufan’s child might be difficult, and had even prepared for failure.

But she never expected the beginning to be so smooth, only for the outcome to be like this.

At this moment, an Eyeglasses Man, one of her subordinates, walked over, his expression sinister, “Boss, I have a way to kill this Little fellow. His protective Magical Artifact is very powerful, but it’s most effective against direct attacks. We can try a different approach, like burning him to death!”

“You’re right!”

Wang Ziyan nodded and immediately had people bring flamethrowers. They aimed at the Little fellow from four corners, and at her command, four fiery Dragons roared forth.

Flames surged, and the air temperature suddenly rose by dozens of degrees. Even those standing nearby couldn’t bear it and retreated.

But Xiao Shitou, right in the center, was completely unharmed, seemingly not even feeling anything.

The Little fellow finished the ice cream in his hand, then with a flick of his wrist, a roasted duck appeared in his palm. He actually began to continuously roast it in the flames before him.

“Make the flames a bit bigger. This needs to be a bit more charred. It tastes better with a bigger fire.”

The roasted duck was cooked but a bit cold. After being roasted in the flames for a bit, it immediately became glistening and golden-brown, with an enticing aroma.

“Well done, this tastes so much better!”

The Little fellow nodded in satisfaction, reached out, tore off a duck leg, and began to devour it with big bites.

“Uh…”

Now the four people holding the flamethrowers were dumbfounded. They couldn't harm him at all; they were just heating up his food. What was the point of burning anymore?

Wang Ziyan’s expression was grim. She waved her hand, signaling the four to retreat.

The Eyeglasses Man leaned in again, “Boss, this Magical Artifact is indeed powerful, but fire won’t work. Let’s throw him into the water. I refuse to believe he can live without breathing.”

At this point, Wang Ziyan was almost maddened, intent on killing Xiao Shitou. Since there was an idea, she would try it. She immediately had someone pull the Little fellow out of the pit and quickly threw him into a nearby well.

To be safe, they even tied two large stones to his body, sinking him directly below the water’s surface.

Everyone stared intently at the surface of the well. A string of bubbles rose, and then there was no more movement.

After a full ten minutes, the Eyeglasses Man said, “It should be enough by now, right? After such a long time, even a fish needs to breathe. He should have drowned by now.”

“Wait a little longer. This Little fellow is too much of a Prodigy.”

Wang Ziyan waited another ten minutes before waving her hand. Someone pulled the rope up.

The Little fellow surfaced, his face pale, eyes tightly shut, and motionless.

“This Little fellow finally drowned!”

Seeing this, the surrounding crowd cheered. Before this, they had never imagined that killing a person could be so difficult.

A hint of a smile also appeared on Wang Ziyan’s lips. To be safe, she reached out to check the Little fellow’s breath.

But just as she lowered her head, Xiao Shitou suddenly opened his eyes, a brilliant smile on his face. Then he opened his mouth and spewed out a large mouthful of water, drenching her from head to toe.

The people nearby were dumbfounded again. Soaking in the water for a full twenty minutes, this Little fellow still wasn’t dead. More importantly, how did his small body hold so much water, and how did he spray it out?

“Fun, fun, so much fun!”

Looking at Wang Ziyan, who looked like a drowned chicken, Xiao Shitou cheered and laughed continuously.

“I’ll kill you!”

Enraged, Wang Ziyan pulled out her pistol, but just as she raised the muzzle, she lowered it again. After all, the tragic deaths of Baldy and the others were still vivid in her memory.

Facing such a Prodigy, if she fired, she would be the one to die.

“Come on, come on, kill me, it’s so much fun!”

Facing her gun, Xiao Shitou showed no fear at all; instead, he jumped around, appearing incredibly excited.

Wang Ziyan’s face was livid with anger, but she had no way to deal with this Little fellow.

“Just find somewhere to throw him. I don’t want to see him again!”

Since she couldn't kill him, Wang Ziyan was out of ideas and could only try to avoid trouble.

“I’m not going, I’m not going, I want to play with you guys.”

Xiao Shitou was still very dissatisfied. With a shake of his shoulders, the ropes on him fell off.

The two burly men who had just rushed forward, holding ropes and wanting to tie him up again, but the Little fellow disagreed. As soon as they touched his body, they were repelled by a golden light, a blood hole appeared in their foreheads, and they lay there, dead.

Now everyone around was scared. It was clear that this Little fellow was much more powerful than they had imagined, and no one dared to step forward anymore.

The Eyeglasses Man nervously swallowed his saliva. Even with all his usual cunning ideas, he was helpless at this moment.

“Boss, what do we do?”

“What else can we do? Let’s go!”

Wang Ziyan was filled with helplessness. She had originally wanted to deal with this Little fellow and vent her frustration, but she realized he was a hedgehog, a huge trouble she couldn't afford to provoke.

Unable to kill him, unable to catch him, in this situation, she could only leave and let him fend for himself.

At her command, these people turned and left, but the Little fellow was not happy.

“Don’t go, don’t go, we’re having so much fun! You guys try to kill me again!”

Xiao Shitou shouted as he followed behind, clearly having a great time and not wanting to leave.

Wang Ziyan and her subordinates were speechless. Today was truly an eye-opener; someone was actually begging to be killed.

The key was that this was a little harbinger of death; whoever dared to move against him would die. Who would still dare to kill him?

Seeing Xiao Shitou closely following behind, these people ran faster and faster, finally scurrying back to their main camp, the dilapidated factory building, and slammed the large iron door shut.
