The girl looked at Lu Yu, watching him intently, listening carefully, and nodding continuously.
“My name is Xiaoxiao,” the girl whispered after Lu Yu had finished shouting.
“Uh.” Lu Yu looked at the girl, having said a bunch of things just to get these four words in response.
“Lu Yu.” Lu Yu said helplessly, and finally could only introduce himself as well. Then he handed a mutated Star Spirit Pearl to the young girl and said, “A mutated Star Spirit Pearl is now worth ten regular Star Spirit Pearls.”
Lu Yu gave the girl a mutated Star Spirit Pearl with excellent attributes.
The young girl extended her small hand to take it, nodding as she said, “Mm, I owe you ten Star Spirit Pearls.”
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then handed the blood sword, which he had originally intended to sell, to the young girl as well, saying, “This one is worth at least one hundred and twenty Star Spirit Pearls now.”
The young girl didn’t understand. She took the blood-stained sword and examined it for a while, then asked, “Is this one expensive too?”
“You can take your time to figure it out; I don’t have time to explain everything. Anyway, it’s all debt—whether it’s a lot or a little, it’s the same in the end.”
Lu Yu turned over the five soul stones.
Among them were two soldier souls: one was the Starlight Halo – Fate, and the other was the Starlight Halo – Defense, which increased the bone strength by fifty.
He originally intended to keep it for an upgrade. Now that he thought about it, if he didn’t save the girl’s life, he would suffer a huge loss.
Just give more, so Xiaoxiao can stay alive to pay back the money.
Lu Yu combined the only two Star Spirit Beads from the two Soldier Souls into a Star Weapon with the best attributes. He took it out and handed it to Xiao Xiao, saying, “This is worth one hundred Star Spirit Beads. Remember, you now owe me two hundred and forty Star Spirit Beads. Got it?”
Xiao Xiao took these things and nodded vigorously.
“I’m losing money like crazy,” Lu Yu muttered, then said, “Figure out how to use it yourself; I don’t have time to keep you company.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu turned his head and signaled to the slightly smarter of the two magic apes. He instructed it to find some companions—not too many.
Ten demon apes will do.
Now the scale of the mine cannot be too large. Because even if we extract the resources, we cannot use them all.
Therefore, it’s just a matter of speeding up the extraction process a bit.
The魔猿, having received orders, took the half-eaten Star Spirit Stone and left before dawn.
Lu Yu glanced at the young girl, intending to offer a few more words of advice.
But he eventually said nothing, ate the bread, drank some water, and then left the mine.
As the number of Black Magic Wolves and Wolf Demon corpses increases at the edge of the mine, the people in the camp will become even more wary.
Lu Yu wasn’t worried about anyone daring to rush into the mine in the short term.
Since there aren’t many people capable of killing魔狼 nowadays, those who can eliminate so many黑魔狼 should be even fewer, right?
Not many were willing to risk their lives against a mysterious expert.
He left the mine and, not long after entering a street, encountered a crowd of people.
Their clothes had already become stiff with blood.
They had become somewhat thinner, but their complexions had turned more ruddy.
More than ten people were holding tattered weapons, and their eyes expressed complex emotions when they saw Lu Yu.
After yesterday’s frenzy, they have already left an indelible impression in the eyes of ordinary people.
They are not accepted by ordinary people, but they still have to live.
Others would not accept them, so they began to walk in groups through the city streets.
When they saw Lu Yu, they were momentarily stunned, and then a group of more than ten people surrounded him.
Having already been a demon, why still fear becoming a demon!
To survive, it’s all the same whether you seize or snatch.
“Everyone is just trying to survive, each taking their own path. What you do to others has nothing to do with me,” Lu Yu said coldly, looking at the group of more than ten people.
More than ten people rushed toward Lu Yu, swinging cleavers and wooden clubs.
Bang!
Lu Yu was extremely ruthless, punching one person so hard that he shattered their jaw and crushed their skull.
A kitchen knife has already become dull.
Like a saw, it slashed a one-foot-long, bone-deep gash across Lu Yu’s back.
Lu Yu turned around, his five fingers spreading open as the talon of the Soul Gathering Technique hooked into the opponent’s crown.
Snap!
Lu Yu lifted the opponent’s skullcap and scalp entirely.
In that moment, more than ten people took a step back, looking at Lu Yu in terror.
They had seen murder. Yet, after regaining their senses, they still had some understanding of the word “ferocity.”
This person is much harsher than them.
The person who had lost his skull was not dead; his brain was still pulsating.
“Oh!”
The man screamed in agony, clutching his head with his hands, only to end up crushing his own brain.
He rolled his eyes and then staggered before collapsing.
Lu Yu threw away the skull in his hand and looked at the remaining people, saying, “You don’t provoke me, and I won’t provoke you. What do you think?”
“They are the ones we’re going to take away,” a man said, pointing at the two corpses lying on the ground.
“Whatever you say.” Lu Yu looked at them as they made way for him to pass. He walked out with a cold smile, his expression calm.
After walking through several streets in the Dongcheng District, Lu Yu saw the one thing he had hoped not to encounter.
On both sides of the street, there were several naked women lying dead, one of whom had all her limbs broken and twisted.
Lu Yu’s expression became increasingly cold, and his hands clenched tighter and tighter.
If he encountered those people, no one would survive.
Lu Yu found the Demon Ape and the Wolf Demon near the outskirts of the Eastern District.
He still had seventy-nine wolf demons left to kill.
These two days, take this opportunity to kill a hundred wolf demons first.
With Lu Yu’s current strength, killing the Wolf Demon would be far too easy now.
According to the monster’s habits, searching in the dark would naturally be much easier.
In dark corners and the dim depths of large supermarkets, one after another, devil apes and wolf demons fall beneath Lu Yu’s Soul Gathering Hand.
Today, Lu Yu finally witnessed the power of the special effects in Zhan Hun’s hands.
A 15% increase in power, and the ability to unleash a battle soul during combat should not be underestimated.
Both the Demon Apes and the Wolf Demons will drop a Soldier Soul every five or six kills.
Lu Yu, who had a large number of military souls, began selecting those with the best attributes.
All those ordinary soldier souls were discarded by him.
The output of Star Spirit Stones was limited, and he certainly didn’t want to waste his time on these useless soldier souls.
At around noon, Lu Yu killed a wolf demon and obtained a mutated Star Spirit Pearl.
This Star Spirit Pearl has a somewhat crimson hue.
“Reinforce the Blood Shield!” Lu Yu, with his Truth-Seeing Eye, caught sight of the attributes and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Using enhancement-type skills allows you to replace lower-level skills of the same category, while transforming the original skill into a Mutated Star Spirit Bead. However, once the Mutated Star Spirit Bead is used, it will perfectly inherit the attributes it had before the transformation.
Lu Yu understood it immediately.
That means if the Blood Shield is replaced, the originally upgraded Blood Shield (upgraded three times) will revert back to a Mutated Star Spirit Pearl. Then, when another person uses it, they will directly obtain the effect of the Blood Shield after having been upgraded three times.
“With that said, Blood Shield Level 3 is definitely worth at least 100 Star Spirit Beads.” Lu Yu held the Star Spirit Bead used for enhancing the Blood Shield, carefully examining its attributes.
Reinforced Blood Shield, whose base attributes are already comparable to a Blood Shield upgraded three times.
“Let’s talk about it later,” Lu Yu said, putting away the mutated Star Spirit Pearl and continuing his search.
It was not until an hour before dusk that Lu Yu stopped searching for the wolf demon and prepared to return to the mine.
In his hands, he had already accumulated a total of one hundred and thirty Star Spirit Beads, along with fifteen mutated Star Spirit Beads.
Besides enhancing the blood shield, the remaining effects are average. Some mutated Star Spirit Pearls do not contain any skills.
Lu Yu plans to sell these Spirit Star Beads at the camp.
No matter whether there were skills involved or not, he just put things out there and left it to fate whether someone would buy them or not. He never cheated anyone.
As for the soul of the soldiers—
Lu Yu patted his pocket and smiled.
Producing more soldiers’ souls will eventually bring some rewards.
A total of fifty-one Wolf Demons were killed, bringing me one step closer to the goal of a hundred.
He was really looking forward to the special effects of the first-level killing star soul.
Because today, the Bloodthirsty Blade granted by his Grade-One Killing Star Soul had greatly assisted him.
Killing a魔猿 restores 30 hit points at once, allowing him to reduce resting time. Moreover, when being attacked by multiple enemies, he can recover hit points while fighting.
On his way back to the mine, Lu Yu encountered a black magic wolf.
Now the Black Demon Wolf no longer posed much of a threat to him. After a battle lasting over ten minutes, Lu Yu easily defeated and eliminated the Black Demon Wolf.
Looking at the soldier’s soul that burst out from the Black Magic Wolf, Lu Yu immediately felt dizzy.
“This kind of thing,” Lu Yu said with a smirk, “if I were to bring it back to the camp, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep my head.”
…
Life Guardian:
Level: Tier 1 (can be upgraded to Tier 4).
Attributes: Increases maximum life by 1,500 points, enhances physique by 100 points.
Special Effect: Each time you level up, you gain an additional 50 Attack Points. Cannot be used together with other Soul of Troop that increase maximum health.
…
Even without upgrading it once, the attributes of this weapon soul are sufficient to greatly increase a common person’s chances of survival in a world like this.
Moreover, each upgrade also comes with an additional 50 points of attack power.
He accepted the fact that he couldn’t be used alongside other similar soul warriors.
The increase in maximum life provided by this single Soul of War was equivalent to all the progress he had made over so many days.
Let’s switch then, it’s totally worth it.
Leaving with such an excellent result, it seems today’s luck is really great.
This time, Lu Yu didn’t take the road through Dongcheng District.
He found that the monsters over there seemed to have vanished, not a single one left.
He took the southeastern path, hoping to encounter a few more wolf demons on his way back.
Lu Yu didn’t encounter any wolf demons, but he did meet a few people along the way.
Several people, led by Captain Wang, were carrying a few corpses and heading towards the camp with their heads drooping in dejection.
When Lu Yu saw them, Captain Wang and the others saw Lu Yu as well.
Six people, their faces covered in ash and dirt, some still bearing fresh wounds, looked like a group fleeing for their lives after being ambushed.
“Tsk, tsk, looks like heavy casualties,” Lu Yu said, seeing Captain Wang. “With such heavy losses, you should have obtained the data by now. Well then, that saves you dozens of Star Spirit Pearls.”
“Lu Yu, don’t get too cocky. If you had gone alone, you wouldn’t have even left a trace of bone behind,” said Captain Wang, his face flushed with anger, clenching his teeth. “Relying solely on you, you’d be crushed the moment you set foot there.”
“Do you think I’m you?” Lu Yu shot a glance at Captain Wang and said, “Believe me, I have ways to get the data and come back alive.”
“Hmph, you of all people.” Captain Wang snorted coldly.
“How about we make a bet?” Lu Yu looked at Captain Wang and smiled, “If I come back alive, I’ll kick you in the balls once. Anyway, with the current life value attribute, you can have one of your testicles shattered ten or eight times and still recover.”
