Spare Me, Great Lord!

Lu Shu’s was jumping through the mountain. The cavalry at the foot of the mountain started retrieving their bows and arrows. They then began to aim their arrows at the mountain.

Now that Lu Shu had the abilities of a class D, why would he be afraid of all these arrows he could see?

In truth, there was no way arrows could be faster than modern weapons, but no one could guarantee that there was no magical energy or instrument which could alter these weapons into becoming much more powerful.

A rain of arrows pelted down at the rocks near Lu Shu. The strength of the arrows was immense as the entire arrow sunk into the mountain, it was obvious what would happen if the arrows landed on a person’s body.

Ten horsemen at the foot of the mountain looked around for Lu Shu’s disappearing silhouette. The horseman whose spear was taken away whipped out a sword to replace his spear…

Why was there such a shameless person…

“From the horsemen’s distress, +1+1+1+1+1…”

Lu Shu observed secretly from the mountain. These horsemen did not plan on ditching their horses to advance up the mountain. Perhaps it was because of Lu Shu’s display of strength previously which scared them.

Seeing these new lines of income, Lu Shu did not doubt that these soldiers could think like humans. Although he did not think these skeletons were as smart as people, the beginning of monsters being smart and having their own mind was something which made Lu Shu wary.

But it was such a waste to him as well. Why did the squirrels, green wolves or these horsemen only contribute a limited 1 distress point to him each? Was it because they’re not human?

Lu Shu felt that this had nothing to do with them beginning to have their own minds. If they were related, there should have been at least some which would contribute more points right. Since everything was 1 point, something was wrong.

The reality of not being able to get many points from them made Lu Shu rather disappointed… Given Lu Shu’s personality, if he could get a large sum of distress points from the squirrels, he would probably have stayed there to eat some fruits every day…

Who cares about the relic, half a month of collecting distress points would give him whatever he needed…

Lu Shu started to inspect that spear. Previously, he had inspected the ax and the metal sword. Apart from being exceptionally sharp and sturdy, there was nothing else which made them stand out and his thought of them resonating with his celestial energy did not become a reality.

But this spear was different. He felt something in his heart the moment he grabbed onto it.

At that instant, he channeled his celestial energy into his hands before sending the energy into the spear through his hands.

The entire spear lit up and this brightness was blinding, but Lu Shu didn’t care as long as it was useful. He directed the spear and sent it to the ground. The mountain rocks split apart like a slab of tofu!

Good stuff!

Now that corpsedog couldn’t be readily revealed as it was heavily scrutinized over at the heavenly network. As soon as it’s seen, there was bound to be people who would know that he was the class C expert that night.

So under the circumstances of not using corpsedog, having such a spear as a weapon made Lu Shu feel more at ease.

But the ax and the metal sword from before weren’t wasted either. His special trait was being able to get by with anything!

Once he confirmed that the soldiers had left, Lu Shu went down to retrieve the ax and the metal sword and kept them on his back…

Lu Shu was now walking with a swagger, with his two weapons on his back and a spear in his arms.

Lu Xiaoyu discovered this special trait of Lu Shu early on. He would never dispose of used textbooks and he would use pencils until they could not be sharpened anymore. Even clothes which could not be worn anymore were stored somewhere. What if they could be of use someday?

Since young, everyone would dispose of their old stuff, especially stuff like pencils but Lu Shu had never wasted anything.

…

On a small mountain, a group of people was sneaking glances downwards. Everyone was very familiar with being stealthy and they made not a single sound when they were moving.

Their path led them to this place, where the mountain peak was extremely high ahead, higher than the clouds. No one knew how high the peak would be if they continued walking.

The peak of this mountain was smooth and steep, making it impossible to climb. Instead of calling it a mountain, an impenetrable wall sealing away the core of the remains was a better depiction. Anyone who wanted to advance had to start from the canyons down below.

As for the canyons, there were skeleton soldiers patrolling the area.

“What about our heavenly king?” Someone asked curiously.

“Did you guys see him before we grouped up?”

“Yes…” Someone was behind a rock observing all the movements below the mountain. He continued, slightly troubled, “Saw him on the first day…”

“Then where is he?” The questioner was curious.

“Three class C Indians invaded the remains. The heavenly king went to chase after them…”

Tsk, someone took in a cold breath. Chasing someone instead of exploring the remains?!

The group of people hiding on the mountain was made up of a complex group of people. There were people from the heavenly network, soldiers, and even daoyuan students.

When the remains opened, the center was where the most people gathered. At that time, 6 class D heavenly network experts led a group of other humans. Although there were casualties, most of them managed to take cover up in the mountains. As for people who were further away, they did not have the ability to help them as well.

At this time, class C was considered as valuable as a heavenly king. There’s a scarce situation concerning the number of valuable practitioners. The older generation had trained for a long time using alternative means to achieve class B and with the new surge of magical energy, the new practitioners had not been able to reach class C yet. As a result, class Ds were already considered decent combat power.

The peak of this mountain now had about 50 people. But their strength in this remain against skeletons and other weird monsters was poor. After all, soldiers and daoyuan students weren’t able to fight effectively.

The soldiers displayed a much greater grit and mentality compared to daoyuan students. Seemingly, they did not fear death when called upon.

And the soldiers were actually the most prepared. Each one of them had with them dry rations, canned food, rice… in reality, they had everything they needed and they were not selfish. They did not have any notion of hiding any of their rations and they shared whatever they had with them.

They could share what they rationed for a day with everyone else and they could still go on for a period of time this way.

To be honest, the heavenly network was rather lucky to have soldiers here with them this time, or they would not have been able to find any food.

The opening of this remain was very different from the past. This remain was exceptionally huge and the time spent in here was exceptionally long.

The previous incident at Xi Bei was settled in just two days.

And the leaders of the heavenly network this time were not very reliable!

Actually, everyone understood that it was better to eradicate any intruders before focusing on searching for the relic or else they might be ambushed. Even so, the heavenly king should come back after eradicating the intruders! Heavenly king, are you lost?!
