Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2495

All of them promptly turned back and saw Daley, the person who had tried to sexually-assault Minerva last night.

Minerva glared at him. “Why do you care?”

Daley smiled wretchedly. “Don't tell me you're working with those people, Minerva. Are you brain-dead? They just got here. There's no way they know anything. I bet they can't even tell the difference between spiritual water and dews. You'll starve to death if you hang out with them.”

“Get lost! I don't need you to tell me what to do.”

“Why are you doing this, Minerva? It's much better for you to follow me than to follow them. Think about it carefully. Whatever you collected, you'll have to split it with the three of them. In the end, you'll be the one suffering. Things will be different if you follow me. I just got here, and I've already collected a drop of spiritual water. If you follow me now, at least you won't go hungry today.”

How is that possible? Minerva refused to believe he had already collected a drop of spiritual water.

“Don't believe me? Well, listen to this carefully.” As Daley spoke, he pulled out a porcelain bottle and shook it.

Everyone could hear a faint water tinkling sound coming from the bottle. That was undoubtedly the sound of spiritual water.

He continued, “Join me, Minerva. If you work with me, I promise that I won't let you suffer.”

Minerva was clearly moved, for a complicated expression appeared on her face.

However, moments later, she gritted her teeth. “Even if I starve to death, I still won't choose to join you!”

That enraged Daley. “Fine! I'll just wait until you starve to death before eating your corpse, b*tch! Oh, I guess I'll also eat the baby inside you too!”

Subsequently, he left while cackling crazily.

“We don't have much time left, Minerva. Let's search for spiritual water quickly,” Yannick said. “Tell us how to collect them.”

Turning to him, Minerva explained, “Spiritual water usually only appears on the leaves of a branch during the morning. There is only an extremely limited amount of them, and they vaporize easily. Once the sun comes up, we won't be able to collect any spiritual water. We should hurry.”

“If it appears on leaves during the morning and evaporates when the sun rises, isn't that just dew?”

“No. There's a huge difference between dews and spiritual water. Dews are brighter and more transparent while spiritual water is darker and heavier. Because of the weight, they'll cause the leaves they sit on to droop.”

“How do we find spiritual water if it's mixed with dews?”

“We'll have to search through each and every single leaf.”

What did she just say? Yannick and Yoshua thought their ears were playing tricks on them. “There are at least hundreds if not thousands of leaves within a meter range of us. You're saying we have to find spiritual water by checking these leaves one by one?”

“There's no other choice. Right now, there's no easier way to find spiritual water than this. That is why spiritual water is so precious.”

Yannick and Yoshua were stumped. “This'll take forever!”

“All right, that's enough. Let's not waste any more time. The sun's about to rise. We need to hurry.”

“Okay!” The two stopped talking and started searching.

Even Zeke was slightly troubled as he stared at the densely packed flora around him. It seems kind of impossible to collect twenty drops of spiritual water and become a team leader. Spiritual water is going to be much harder to find than I imagined.

Minerva comforted, “No need to worry, Mr. Williams. Let me look for spiritual water. Honestly, I have quite a lot of experience looking for spiritual water. In fact, I can do it pretty fast. Usually, I'm able to find two or three drops of spiritual water per day. That alone will be enough for us to survive a day.”

Curiously, he asked, “If you have no problem surviving here, then why do you want me to be your master? Also, it doesn't seem like you found a single drop of spiritual water yesterday.”
