Chapter 735: Approaching the Central Area


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


It was the second morning in the Kunlun Mountains now. Lu Shu walked out of his tent, fully rejuvenated, after a song of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Problems like blisters would bother the commoners, but not him…


For some reason, Lu Shu felt that his Twinkle Twinkle training was more effective here.


That day, they continued to move forward along the desert. They saw countless wild camels, horses and donkeys that had mutated but were not aggressive towards them. There were trails of animal footprints along the cliff, and humans could walk there too.


Generally speaking, Lu Shu would capture a few mutated creatures and stuffed them into his Seal of Lands as long as he had the opportunity to do so. In any case, those samples were of significant value for the Species Research of Luo Shen Cultivation College…


On the fifth day in Kunlun Mountains, there was a drastic decrease in alt.i.tude. Conversely, plants gradually increased in height. Lu Shu even encountered a bush as tall as a person.


By then, Lu Shu’s personality had become well established in the team – anti-social, not gullible at all, yet surprisingly he was one of the strongest members of the team despite his fragile-looking appearance.


By the fifth day, most people were suffering from cracking lips. Furthermore, they more or less showed signs of fatigue when marching under the sun. But Lu Shu seemed perfectly fine…


Besides, he could still survive on one fruit per day for supply of water and vitamins…


Zhang Yanfeng was a tad confused. It appeared that Lu Shu would never yield in front of the hards.h.i.+ps although he looked rather weak.


Usually, the following types of people were the least-welcomed in walking expeditions, the latecomers, the defiant, the weak and the arrogant who expected the leader to serve him.


But when it came to Lu Shu, Zhang Yanfeng had to swallow all of Lu Shu’s unpleasant traits just for the money.


It seemed viable to rob him straightaway, but most people did not dare to breach the law as they were not felonious robbers anyway.


After they climbed over a sand hill, w.a.n.g Zhe, who was leading the team, suddenly lowered his body and motioned everyone to silence. When everyone obeyed, he craned his neck and looked towards the other side of the hill.


“Why?”


w.a.n.g Zhe almost jolted in shock. Then, he turned to see Lu Shu’s face beside him…


Lu Shu craned his head to see a gigantic bear, almost as big as two bulls. There were no such monstrous creatures in the commoner’s world. No wonder w.a.n.g Zhe was scared.


To Lu Shu’s consternation, the energy waves from the bear was at least those of Cla.s.s E. Yet, it was found just two days’ walk away from Death Valley. So what on Earth was inside the Valley?


“How?” Zhang Yanfeng asked, interested in the profits obtainable from the bear. If they could kill it, they would earn a great fortune from its fur, paws and gallbladder.


Lu Shu glimpsed at Zhang Yanfeng in contempt. The Heavenly Network had given him information regarding mutated bears. In Northern China, bears were caged and kept for their gallbladder. A tube was cruelly inserted into their gallbladder through their mouth.


Then, in the magical era, bears mutated. Moreover, their ascension was rather rapid. In no time, the bears slaughtered all the workers of the gallbladder factory.


And this bear they were facing was even stronger. It was a Cla.s.s E. In the team, no one else, except Lu Shu himself and w.a.n.g Zhe, had a winning chance against the bear.


“Let’s hide here, behind the hill,” said w.a.n.g Zhe, “Hopefully it will get attracted away by other animals.”


However, at this very moment, w.a.n.g Yan, her husband and three other young members of the group had already fled downhill. In the flurry, w.a.n.g Yan was tripped by a broken branch on the ground. Her scream was sharp and loud!


The grizzly bear turned towards the sand hill and stared into w.a.n.g Zhe’s eyes. The latter did not dare to move at all. As a result, the two seemed to be gazing at each other with deep emotions.


Beside w.a.n.g Zhe, Lu Shu looked at him and the giant bear. After a short pause, he asked, “Is the bear a friend of yours?”


“From w.a.n.g Zhe’s distress, +999!”


Drops of sweat slid down w.a.n.g Zhe’s cheeks. He could not understand what was in this fellow’s mind. Why the lame joke when their lives were at risk!


Despite being praised all day, w.a.n.g Zhe was not a reckless man. He immediately turned and ran.


Lu Shu was disappointed. What a coward!


Meanwhile, the giant bear instantly accelerated towards them. Its fur and blubber trembled violently due to its running motion, and a trail of deep holes was left on the ground under its immense weight.


Nonetheless, Lu Shu was surprised to see Zhang Yanfeng stay. He drew a dagger from his bag and shouted, “Run! I’ll cover you!”


In this situation, humans could never outrun the bear. More deaths were inevitable if no one stood out to sacrifice himself. Lu Shu could not understand Zhang Yanfeng’s intentions of this act. Was he not merely a greedy gangster?


Immediately Lu Shu ran downhill, pulling Zhang Yanfeng along by his collar. As w.a.n.g Zhe prepared to run, he was tripped by Lu Shu’s leg as the latter seemingly unintentionally extended his leg before he took to his heels. w.a.n.g Zhe must show more effort since he had pocketed Lu Shu’s money! Moreover, Lu Shu had yet to reason with him regarding the problem of that magical stone.


In fact, Lu Shu did not have to make him an enemy over just one magical stone. But in order to live a good life, he would not give up on even half a stone.


Then, Lu Shu was reminded that he was an audit student… Screw you, Nie Ting.


In any case, Lu Shu was not that cold-hearted. Two strands of Sparrow Shade were sent skimming the ground surface towards the chest of the grizzly. In the next instant, the Cla.s.s E giant bear was stabbed. Although invisible to the onlookers, the cardio-respiratory system of the bear had already started failing.


Left without a choice, w.a.n.g Zhe jumped to his feet and attacked the bear. He had no way to escape when the bear had darted to right in front of him. But this guy was not equipped with any combat skills. He simply rolled on the ground to dodge the slap and attacked back with his German spade occasionally when he got the chance.


w.a.n.g Zhe looked pathetic amidst the flying sand. Even a light slap of the bear’s paw could result in a long, gaping wound on w.a.n.g Zhe’s body.


At this moment of life and death, w.a.n.g Zhe mustered all his courage to fight. He knew that he would be dead if he did not risk his life against the bear!


Then, he threw his spade towards the bear with all his strength. In the next second, the bear was dead, even though there were no fatal wounds…


It died?! w.a.n.g Zhe collapsed to the floor absent-mindedly. Why was it such an easy kill…


Nevertheless, he had survived anyway. Suddenly he let out a wild laugh, his face covered in dirt. “I’m unbeatable!”


The rest turned back and were shocked to see the bear dead. At that moment, the five young members of the team thought that their money had been well spent. Pract.i.tioners were indeed powerful!


Only Lu Shu stood aside with a calm face. Then, he noticed something strange in Zhang Yanfeng’s expression.
