Chapter 1171: Safety Route

Although Israel was infuriated by Lu Shu, she did not finish the mutton but instead, left more than half behind.

She asked Lu Shu, “Don’t you need to eat?”

“I am not hungry,” said Lu Shu, “Leave it for later. It’s better to save some for later as I am not sure how much longer it would take for the remains to end.”

“How much longer do you think it will take?” asked Israel.

“Would you believe what I say?” asked Lu Shu.

“I will believe whatever you say,” affirmed Israel.

“One month’s time,” said Lu Shu as he sighed. Actually, he felt that the determining factor depended on when he was able to find the core and secret of the remains.

This remains was too special. Others might not be able to end it. Even Lu Xiaoyu, who had two masters with her, was unable to end it.

The reason for the deduction was simple. The remains were prepared for Lu Shu. The doer should undo what he had done.

The person who buried the remains had probably surpa.s.sed the master realm. Therefore, a master could not do anything he wanted when he entered.

Disregarding the secret of the remains, simply the possibility that creatures of the master realm could exist in the remains was sufficient to make Lu Shu wary.

Did the sleeping tortoise reach the master realm? Lu Shu thought that it probably did.

The remains were like a pandora’s box. If the creatures were released, it would be a disaster for the Earth and the Luniverse.

So here came the question, who exactly had the capability to secretly bury this potentially catastrophic tool?

Lu Shu had an answer to that question but he was not sure.

Israel, on the other hand, did not know. The Ninth Heavenly King whom she wanted to interview was beside her.

The next morning, Lu Shu came out of the tent. When the other Pract.i.tioners in the campsite saw Israel who followed behind Lu Shu, they greeted Lu Shu with a look that treated Lu Shu as one of themselves.

To them, Lu Shu was in the same boat as them.

In fact, every pract.i.tioner was afraid that they would be criticised after they left. After all, the campsite symbolized the regression of humankind. However, they were unwilling to give up the benefits and enjoyment they had. Therefore, it would be good if they could pull more people onto their boat.

In fact, many people were thinking if they could make use of such a lifestyle to promote the service for Pract.i.tioners by controlling ordinary people?

Did people not used to keep slaves? Perhaps they could obtain such a skill too?

To many Pract.i.tioners, they desired to have the skill to control ordinary people!

The leader stood in the middle of the campsite, giving instructions for ordinary people to build the wall, in an attempt to build a small fortress. Actually, they were building it to prevent the campsite from being discovered by the creatures, as well as to prevent ordinary people from entering or leaving. They hoped to control the entire campsite.

Meanwhile, the ordinary people, including the women who were not chosen, began to work willingly as that was the only way to get food.

Now, there were more ordinary people than pract.i.tioners. In such a situation, the Pract.i.tioners became “scarce materials”.

Lu Shu did not bother about this. He asked the leader curiously, “What exactly is the secret of the remains?”

At this moment, the sentence that Lu Shu was thinking about was “you better f*cking reply to me quickly, or else you may die”.

However, the leader smiled mysteriously. “You will know if you follow us for a hunt today.”

Lu Shu thought, “Why are the highest ranking Rank Two candidates hunting? What do they want to hunt for?”

In the morning, only about ten pract.i.tioners were left behind to look after the campsite while the rest packed up and headed out. Lu Shu realized that amongst other things, the Pract.i.tioners had to bring their food with them.

They were very afraid that all their food and tents would be stolen by others after they returned from their hunt.

Although there was a basic order in the campsite, there was no basic trust.

Lu Shu did a brief calculation and found that there were only about 70 Pract.i.tioners in the campsite who had dissimilar capabilities. There were over 200 ordinary people who did not have self-defense capabilities.

Amongst all the Pract.i.tioners, only Lu Shu went empty-handed. Israel hesitated for a long time and finally secretly pa.s.sed Lu Shu the remaining cube of mutton. “You are going out to hunt, bring some food to fuel your body.”

Lu Shu smiled. “It’s alright, there’s a lot of food outside.”

After a long time, Israel finally understood Lu Shu’s intention. Why did he treat all the creatures outside as food?! Did he know that he was in the remains?

“From Israel Moore’s distress, +666!”

At this moment, someone shouted, “Move!”

Lu Shu left without looking back. Israel stood behind him and hesitated for a long time. She realized that she was suddenly worried for Lu Shu, what if he met danger outside?

However, thinking about Lu Shu’s att.i.tude, Israel was very certain that Lu Shu was completely not interested in herself.

Some men purposely acted proud in front of her but were playing hard to get. However, Israel knew that Lu Shu was not playing hard to get, he only had her cheque in mind…

At this moment, Israel suddenly thought, Lu Shu said that the person he liked was prettier than her, he must be boasting!

Lu Shu followed behind the group of Pract.i.tioners. The leader led them to an unknown location as though he was very familiar with the route. Along the way, there were odd-looking stones and the sand colored scenery made it look as though they were walking in the desert.

At this moment, the leader came behind the team and smiled to Lu Shu. “You are a newcomer, what do you feel about our campsite?”

Lu Shu thought that the leader indeed appealed to everyone. In order to gain the heart of him, a low-rank pract.i.tioner, he was able to treat him warmly. Lu Shu asked curiously, “Where does this road lead to, would there be danger?”

“Rest a.s.sured, we have explored this place for three days and there has never been a creature…” as the leader spoke, they suddenly heard a roar from a distance…

The leader thought as he saw the wave of sand from afar, ‘I jinxed myself…’

Meanwhile, Lu Shu felt even more desperate. He knew what was coming…

A herd of wild cows dashed over and the Pract.i.tioners scurried in fear. However, before they could take a few steps, they were caught. The herd of cows looked at Lu Shu who was in the middle of the crowd. ‘Is there no lightning for us to eat today?! If not, we will come over and ask you again tomorrow…’
