The human skull is not fragile.
But before Lu Yu, a person’s head became incredibly fragile.
A blow filled with rage, crushing the opponent’s skull as if it were a soft persimmon.
Blood, flesh, and brain matter oozed out between his fingers.
Lu Yu raised his hand in disgust, shaking off the blood splatter, feeling a bit nauseated.
He was angrier than he had ever been before.
He can accept others’ ambushes and treachery. You can eat people; that has nothing to do with me. Who you love to eat is your right.
As long as you don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke you either.
Everyone has the right to live. You do, and so do I. That’s why I won’t interfere with how you choose to live.
However, the only thing Laozi could not accept at present was this.
Man, if you’ve got the ability, go fight on the battlefield!
If you have the ability, win a woman’s heart with your strength, instead of acting like this.
Lu Yu’s bloodshot eyes swept over the few remaining survivors like those of a wild beast.
The woman on the ground was bleeding from her lower body, her back scraped raw and bloody by the sharp protrusions on the ground. She had barely enough strength left to breathe, completely too weak to struggle any further.
The woman was looking at Lu Yu, wanting to say something, but couldn’t speak.
She was about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. She was very thin, her eyes sunken from hunger. Yet, her once-beautiful features could still be faintly discerned beneath the gauntness.
The clothes she was wearing were not made of ordinary fabric. Unfortunately, they had already been torn to shreds and were scattered around Chi’s body.
She seemed to know that she was about to die, slowly tilting her head and looking toward the other side. In her hand, she still held a plant stem marked with tooth impressions.
Following the woman’s gaze, two men were pinning a girl of about fifteen against a stone tree, forcing her to witness everything with her own eyes.
The young girl did not cry or struggle, but stared numbly at everything happening before her eyes.
There was also a man who was flipping through a pink backpack. Inside, he found several sausages, a few pieces of bread, and a can of luncheon meat.
As Lu Yu landed, the man was emptying all the contents of the backpack onto the ground.
Then, in an instant, the two companions died.
The man, however, didn’t even glance at his companion, grabbed a sausage, and stuffed it into his mouth like a starving ghost.
Bang!
Lu Yu delivered a flying kick to the man’s ribs.
After more than ten sharp cracking sounds, the man’s half-body ribs were completely shattered. He flew into the air while letting out a piteous scream. After landing several meters away, his body slid across the sharp stones on the ground, leaving him bloodied and mutilated.
“Don’t, don’t come over here.” The two men pinning down the young girl were somewhat more rational. After witnessing what had just happened, they immediately realized how terrifying the man in front of them truly was.
A man pointed his knife at the girl’s throat and shouted, “Come closer, or I’ll kill her.”
Lu Yu turned around, his eyes redder, his expression becoming even more fierce.
Seeing the man’s movement, he didn’t flinch in the slightest but instead walked steadily toward the two individuals, smirking coldly, “Go ahead and kill them. I never had any intention of saving those two women anyway. However, what you’ve done makes me think you deserve to die.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu’s expression became even colder as he said, “Actually, I think it would be more useful for you people to die here. This mountain already has many monster corpses, yet it lacks human ones. With your bodies here, don’t you think it would be more intimidating? However—what I want are corpses, not living people.”
The expressions of the two men changed. One of them pushed the young girl toward Lu Yu, attempting to escape in the commotion.
However, before the man’s hand could push out, two large, furry hands had already clamped down on each of their heads, forcefully pressing them towards the ground.
The moment their heads hit the ground, they instantly turned into a bloody pulp.
Five corpses lay sprawled on the ground, with bloodstains that were shocking to see.
The girl stood still in her original place, unmoving. Behind her, a demonic ape leaped over her and landed behind Lu Yu.
Lu Yu glanced at the woman cowering on the ground; she was beyond saving.
In a pair of dazed eyes, there seemed to be a smile and a sense of comfort.
Lu Yu picked up the pink backpack and put all the scattered food on the ground into it.
Lu Yu also picked up the blood-stained sausage that was in the hand of the corpse lying more than ten meters away.
Lu Yu walked up to the girl, threw the backpack in front of her, and then silently walked away.
The young girl numbly stood up, then picked up her backpack and started jogging behind Lu Yu and the魔猿.
She was still a bit frightened and kept a certain distance when she saw the terrifying appearance of the demon ape.
The demon ape occasionally turned back to glance at the young girl, then looked at Lu Yu, scratched his head, and finally chose to ignore the girl.
The leader killed someone, which might have saved that human’s life.
The leader saved this person’s life, so he himself could not eat. Hmm, it had been a long time since they had tasted human flesh. The leader said no eating people, then no eating people it was.
This was the only logic the demon ape possessed, so he allowed the young girl to follow behind him.
Lu Yu walked very fast. The girl gritted her teeth and followed closely behind, her clothes torn by the stone trees beside her, her skin cut, but she still kept following with clenched teeth.
Not long after, Lu Yu had already left the girl far behind, not even a shadow in sight.
By the time he returned to the center of the mine, the other demon apes had already begun working.
They are a group of monsters that are easily satisfied. As long as they are well-fed and treated kindly, they will work diligently without any laziness or trickery.
Just half an hour after Lu Yu returned to the mine, a blood-soaked girl showed up as well.
More than ten monstrous apes didn’t recognize the young girl. To them, she was merely an intruder in their leader’s territory, and intruders deserved to be killed.
The demon apes roared and lunged toward the young girl.
As the demon ape followed Lu Yu outside, it immediately let out a few loud roars.
One by one, the ferocious, monstrous apes, with fangs bared and claws brandished, suddenly halted in their tracks, then obediently turned back to continue their work.
Well, this is something for humans to handle; we can’t interfere.
The demon apes knew that these were humans saved by their leader. Then they had better not lay a hand on them, lest they end up starving.
The girl stood far away behind a stone tree, watching Lu Yu, wanting to approach but hesitating.
At this moment, Lu Yu received a report from the Demon Ape.
Wolves and apes have entered the mine.
Lu Yu did not respond to the girl but instead followed the direction of the invasion under the lead of the magical ape.
Five demon apes and two wolf demons.
They were not willing to give up on this place and began to join forces to enter it.
However, in Lu Yu’s eyes, the current Wolf Demon and Demon Ape were no longer anything significant.
It took less than three minutes to defeat the seven-headed monster.
I simply gave him three Star Spirit Beads.
Before Lu Yu could settle down, he heard the demon ape reporting again.
A black magic wolf came in.
…
That night, Lu Yu didn’t have a moment’s rest.
Seventy demon apes, fifteen wolf demons, and four black wolf demons.
Lu Yu did not return to the center of the mine until dawn, dragging his tired steps.
This night’s gains were quite significant.
He calculated that he had already killed twenty-one Wolf Demons by now, which meant he had completed almost a quarter of his goal of one hundred.
He had forged a total of twenty-one Star Spirit Beads, two Mutated Star Spirit Beads, and five Soldier Souls.
Inside the two mutated Soul Crystals was a Blood Shield; this item was useless to him since he couldn’t possess two identical skills. Among the three Spirit Cores, two had decent attributes, while one possessed an exceptionally good attribute.
The last two attributes are truly worth having during this period.
Lu Yu saw the girl sitting where she had been before, and couldn’t help but frown. “If you don’t leave, there’s nothing for you to eat here,” he said. Pointing towards the stadium, he continued, “There’s a camp over there. That’s currently the safest place to go.”
The girl saw Lu Yu talking to her, walked up to him with her schoolbag, and poured out all the food inside. Then she looked at Lu Yu with her big eyes.
“What does this mean? You want me to take you in?” Lu Yu looked at the food and said, “I don’t care who that woman is to you. She left all the food for you, and you should cherish it. I didn’t take anything back then, and I certainly won’t accept anything now.”
“I, I want to trade with you,” the girl said, pointing at the pile of things Lu Yu had brought back. She asked cautiously, “Can, can I trade for those?”
“Oh?” Lu Yu didn’t expect the girl to make such a request, and couldn’t help but lift his head.
The girl was around fifteen or sixteen years old; her body had already begun to develop, with a slight curve forming on her chest. She had a round, oval-shaped face and pitch-black eyes. While she should have radiated youthful vitality, her current demeanor appeared somewhat gloomy and lackluster.
She was wearing a light blue long dress, with her long hair cascading down, a little beauty.
In the girl’s eyes, there was an extraordinary determination and coldness.
Lu Yu was not surprised by the girl’s expression and gaze, which did not match her age.
Anyone who went through what happened last night would have changed.
“I, I want to exchange them!” the young girl pointed at the Binghun and the Mutated Star Spirit Pearl, her voice softer and less confident than the first time. Her hands were tightly clasped together, and she kept looking down at the tips of her shoes.
“That’s right. Food is indeed more valuable than Star Spirit Beads during this period,” Lu Yu looked at the young girl and asked, “How would you like to exchange it?”
“I want to change everything. What can I get?” The girl, hearing Lu Yu’s agreement, raised her head, her cheeks slightly flushed.
“Then what do you eat?” Lu Yu was taken aback and replied, “There’s nothing to eat. You won’t last for days. It’s already very difficult to find food in the city now.”
The girl looked at Lu Yu, clenching her small fist, and said, “A lot, a lot of food. I can eat the meat of monsters, the meat of humans. My mom told me to stay alive; she hopes I survive until Dad comes back.”
“Human flesh?” Lu Yu heard the girl’s words, and his mood began to turn gloomy as well.
Can a girl really change so much overnight?
Lu Yu stared at the girl, motionless. Even someone with a heart of stone would not wish to see a pure young girl walking toward darkness.
If a father were to return, would he be willing to see his daughter living like this?
A faint pain stirred in Lu Yu’s heart.
“How about this? I can let you keep your food. But you’ll have to work for me to gradually pay back what you owe me.”
“You, do you want a body?” The girl seemed to understand everything in an instant and said, “Okay, I will definitely give you one.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Lu Yu didn’t expect the girl to think that way and couldn’t help but roar in anger, “Don’t you dare mention that in front of me. I’m a man, not a bastard.”
Lu Yu stood up and pointed at the girl, saying, “I’m giving you these things, but first, you must keep my identity a secret. No matter where you see me, you must act as if you don’t know me. Do you understand?”
The girl nodded earnestly.
She couldn’t understand why this man had done such a thing.
But as long as she could get something in return, she was willing to do so.
“Everything I give you will be converted into Star Spirit Beads, with an interest rate of one bead per day for every twenty beads. From the first day you go out hunting, you must start repaying me the Star Spirit Beads you owe. Only after you’ve fully repaid your debt and we no longer have any ties can you leave. However, you must forever keep my secrets and never speak of anything you’ve seen here. Don’t look at me like that—I’m not a bastard, but I am a villain, so don’t expect me to act like a philanthropist handing out everything for free.”
