“Okay!”
Qian She was the first to agree.
Lu Yu and others came for the Hydra, while their Demon Lord entered specifically for the treasures hidden here.
Since Lu Yu made such a proposal, they were more than happy.
With Lu Yu’s strike, even a Half-Zhizun could be slain.
As long as the monster guarding the treasure isn’t too powerful, they would have a chance to obtain it.
“I agree too!” nodded several star masters.
After entering, seeing the Star Spirit Mine and the Blue Planet’s Soul again, they also felt somewhat tempted.
The grudge must be avenged.
But as Lu Yu said, we should strike when the moment is most critical!
Killing four people would make Hydra feel the pain. If they enhance their strength and seize the items that the four individuals brought out, it would make Hydra literally spit blood!
Lin Xiaojie gritted his teeth and said, “Perhaps, with enhanced strength, there might be a chance to sever one of the Hydra’s heads!”
Lu Yu said coldly, “That’s right. This time, we certainly won’t let Hydra off easily. But if he’s going to suffer, let him suffer completely.”
A demon lord said, “Then let’s split up. If someone is unlucky enough to lose their life, it’s just a matter of bad luck!”
Everyone nodded, left behind contact marks, and quickly scattered in different directions.
Lu Yu walked towards the position alongside Huo Wu.
“Where are you going?” Huo Wu frowned in concern as she noticed the direction Lu Yu was heading.
“Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid to provoke a monster with the power of the Sixth Sovereign,” Lu Yu said. “However, since it’s a wolf king here with the power of the Sixth Sovereign, I guess it should know something about the nearby area.”
“You wouldn’t be thinking of getting some information from the Wolf King, would you?” Huo Wu opened her small mouth in great surprise.
It seems that Lu Yu is being a bit too bold!
“It didn’t attack us just now, which proves that as long as we don’t encroach on its territory, it won’t take action. As long as we aren’t here for its mine, we can retreat safely even without obtaining any intelligence!”
As they were talking, the two of them walked and soon arrived in front of the Star Soul Mine!
On a not-very-tall mountain, the wolf king crouched down from its original standing position, and thousands of black wolves also surrounded the mine from all sides.
When Lu Yu and Huo Wu approached, the Wolf King perked up his ears and rose back to his feet, ready for battle.
Thousands of black wolves also stood up and assumed attacking positions, ready to fight at any moment.
When these black wolves were attacking the hydra, Lu Yu felt no pressure.
When the black wolf’s target shifted to him, he immediately felt immense pressure!
These thousands of black wolves are all Devil Lords, whose defensive power rivals that of the Sovereigns. In a prolonged battle, even a Sovereign might be torn to death by their bites.
Lu Yu now held an additional Blue Planet Soul in his hand, which immediately caught the Wolf King’s attention.
The Wolf King narrowed his eyes at Lu Yu and said, “Human, what do you intend to do?”
Lu Yu, upon hearing the Wolf King speak, first felt a wave of relief, knowing that his guess had been correct.
The Wolf King controls the Star Soul Mine for the Blue Planet’s Soul, and only the Blue Planet’s Soul could draw the Wolf King’s attention!
Lu Yu, seeing the Wolf King speak, replied solemnly, “I hope to obtain some information about the surrounding area!”
Lu Yu explained the purpose of his visit.
The Wolf King snorted coldly, “Do you really think you can find treasures around here?”
“Correct!” Lu Yu nodded, his expression turning serious. “You’ve lived here all along; I believe you know the surrounding area very well. I just want to find out, what is the best and strongest thing around here!”
“A piece of Blue Star Soul, don’t you think that’s too little?” the Wolf King sneered. “Five pieces for a piece of information!”
Lu Yu’s lips twitched slightly. The Wolf King demanded five pieces right off the bat—did he really take him for a fool?
“Five pieces are too many. My Blue Planet Soul is also limited. At most two!” Lu Yu shook his head, giving a firm reply.
“No way! I won’t do it for less than four pieces!” the Wolf King said coldly. “I’m already showing you respect by not taking it by force. Four pieces, and not a single piece less.”
“Three pieces, at most three!” Lu Yu became even more certain that the Wolf King desperately needed the Soul of Blue Star. He even took out three pieces to entice the Wolf King.
The Wolf King’s eyes narrowed, a glint of light flickering within them. After a long silence, he said, “Fine, three pieces. I’m not afraid you’ll renege on the deal—I’ll tell you a piece of news first.”
“Oh!” Huo Wu opened her small mouth in disbelief, looking at Lu Yu.
It was unheard of for Lu Yu to haggle with the Supreme Being.
And he actually managed to explain it.
If the others like Qian She were to find out, no one would probably believe it!
Huowu found herself somewhat admiring Lu Yu.
The Wolf King paused as he spoke, then lifted his front paw and pointed toward the left front. “Go straight ahead and you will find a stone cave. If you have the ability to reach the end, you will at least obtain an item that rivals an ordinary Supreme Being.”
Lu Yu looked in that direction, then without hesitation, threw three Blue Star Souls over.
The Wolf King was surprised and said, “You’re not afraid that I might deceive you and send you to your death?”
“I believe someone of your status wouldn’t go that far,” Lu Yu said, taking Huo Wu’s hand with a smile. “Wait for me to come back, and we’ll continue our deal.”
“You still have the Soul of Blue Planet?” Upon hearing Lu Yu’s attempt to negotiate again, the Wolf King immediately understood the implication and couldn’t help but look at Lu Yu in surprise.
This young man is only at the Star Lord level, yet his strength surpasses that of a Half Supreme. Such beings are extremely rare in this place.
How many fragments of the Blue Planet’s soul do you have? That’s quite impressive.
Lu Yu shrugged and said, “Not much in hand. But enough for one more trade.”
“Why don’t you just give me the Soul of Blue Planet? I can go get it for you. That thing is useless to me, but it should be somewhat useful to humans.”
“My Blue Planet Soul is not much. I would rather try it myself first, and then use the remaining Blue Planet Soul to get another message from you.”
The Wolf King, his lips rarely curling upward, said, “Then I’ll be looking forward to your return. If you die, I’ll take your soul from the Blue Planet!”
“Then I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, because I have more than one life!” Lu Yu smiled and signaled to Huo Wu to wait for him here.
He flew swiftly toward the place the wolf king was pointing at.
In the direction indicated by the Wolf King, there was indeed a cave about a hundred miles away.
However, in front of the cave, thousands of black scorpions were densely crawling at the cave’s entrance.
Each black scorpion was roughly the size of a millstone, piled one after another, making one’s scalp tingle with dread.
Lu Yu could already sense from a distance that the strength of these black scorpions should not be very formidable.
Not even Star Lord level beings, he couldn’t be bothered to collect the corpses of these black scorpions.
The black scorpion also sensed Lu Yu approaching, and its tail stinger stood upright.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
At the tip of the scorpion’s tail, a burst of black mist exploded outward, then transformed into a misty mass that surrounded the stone cave.
“Use poison?” Lu Yu chuckled immediately.
He took one step into the mist, and the fog pierced his skin like needles.
The Myriad Toxins Body activated, the misty mass was quickly absorbed, proving completely ineffective.
The poisonous fog proved ineffective. All the black scorpions sprang into action, their legs scuttling on the ground, creating a chilling sound like “哗啦啦” (splashing water).
Lu Yu unceremoniously submerged these black scorpions in a tidal wave, instantly shattering thousands of them.
The flesh and blood of the black scorpion merged into the waters of the Yellow Spring, increasing its volume.
At the same time, the hunt also consumed the attributes of these black scorpions, forging the blade of slaughter!
Thousands of black scorpions died, and a piercing shriek echoed from the cave. Shortly after, a dark figure crawled out from within the cave.
This is a three-meter-long creature with two heads!
“Double-headed scorpion!” Lu Yu murmured, his expression shifting slightly as he laid eyes on the creature.
This scorpion’s power level is only at the first stage of a Demon Lord.
However, it would be different with a two-headed scorpion.
Even the Supreme One cannot be approached without the power of restraint.
However, this scorpion happened to meet Lu Yu.
The venom of the Poison Dragon overcomes all poisons; this two-headed scorpion is destined to meet a tragic end.
Lu Yu raised his hand and struck with ease, slaying the two-headed scorpion effortlessly. He then severed and took its tail.
Lu Yu stepped into the cave, where toxic gas was diffusing.
All of these were released by the double-headed scorpion. Over time, as they accumulated gradually, the cave became a toxic den. Even a single breath for an ordinary person could be fatal.
Lu Yu walked all the way to the end of the cave, where he found a corpse.
The corpse was completely black, obviously having died from poisoning.
Beside this person was a ring.
As Lu Yu’s hand reached for the ring, the corpse instantly turned to ashes.
The ring did not turn to ashes but instead fell to the ground, sparkling with tiny glimmers of starlight.
“This is a Star Artifact!” Lu Yu could feel the power of stars from the starlight.
Unlike before, this time the power of the stars he felt surpassed the stone sword in his hand, and was even stronger than the stone axe.
“Can I be this lucky? Is it a complete star artifact?” Lu Yu looked at the ring in his hand and swallowed hard with some difficulty.
No wonder the Wolf King said he didn’t need it.
This ring is made for a person, not a wolf to wear.
Lu Yu put the star device on his little finger and noticed no change.
“Go back and ask the Wolf King.”
Lu Yu walked out of the cave and quickly made his way back to the location of the Star Soul Mine.
“So fast?” The Wolf King was taken aback, staring at Lu Yu up and down. “I knew you used poison, but I didn’t expect your poison to be so powerful that even a double-headed scorpion couldn’t hurt you. It seems you’ve already obtained the item.”
“That’s right, I got the item. But, what exactly is this?” Lu Yu shook the ring on his finger and said, “It seems like I can’t use it?”
“That’s something of the human world; I don’t know about that either. I just remember—” the Wolf King chuckled, “Back then, he wanted to seize my ore, but I defeated him using this very item. At that time, that person was nearly a million billion in strength short of becoming a Sovereign. Activating this ring back then cost me four zuns of power. I won’t lie to you, but I truly don’t know what this ring actually is.”
“Aggressive weapon?” Lu Yu looked at the ring in shock. Could it be even more terrifying than the stone sword!
“Okay,” the wolf king laughed. “Now let me tell you some news. Do you still have enough Blue Star Soul left?”
“You tell me, it’s definitely enough.” Lu Yu flipped his hand over, revealing three more Blue Star Souls in his palm.
“Haha, great!” The wolf king licked his lips and said, “Directly behind me, there is a swamp where a snake resides. Long ago, it killed two Zun masters. If you can defeat it, you’ll obtain at least two items that were taken out from the Tianmo Grand Hall.”
Lu Yu’s heart trembled as he thought, “You mean two Sovereigns entered this Demon-Controlling Hall and were killed by that snake, each carrying an item?”
“If you have the guts, go ahead. Or, you could try escaping from that snake’s mouth with your venom, and bring those two items out with you. One of them, if you give it to me, I might consider helping you once.”
The Wolf King laughed and said, “It seems the nine-headed serpent holds great hatred toward you. You also wish to kill it, don’t you? Even with you and that Supreme One together, you wouldn’t stand a chance—not to mention the nine-headed serpent also has two assistants. If I were to intervene, I could at least severely wound it; what happens after that would depend on you.”
