Chapter 64: The Great Sweep (1)

Lu Yu put away his short sword and gave half of the two hundred star spirit stones to Canghai.

“A decent deal,” Canghai said, taking the Star Soul Stone and weighing it in his hand. He then glanced at Chen Zhenglong and the other two before putting it into his backpack, which immediately bulged outward.

Chen Zhenglong and the other two faced the vast sea, their faces instantly contorting with gritted teeth.

“Still not convinced?” Lu Yu bellowed fiercely. Chen Zhenglong and the other two immediately plopped down onto the ground, trembling like three little quails.

The people watching from all around felt even more tense in their hearts.

They could not feel what Chen Zhenglong had experienced.

However, from his expression, it was clear that Chen Zhenglong’s fear of Lu Yu came from the bottom of his heart.

The other two individuals, on the other hand, had such weak willpower that they were completely overwhelmed and broke down mentally by the gruesome sight of Chen Zhenglong’s condition.

These two seemingly useless good-for-nothings are merely spoiled second-generation heirs who have never experienced any real hardships or adversity. It’s only natural that they’d be so easily frightened into this state.

However, when these people thought more deeply, they couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

To use torment as a means to intimidate others, one must first be able to see through a person’s innermost thoughts.

And this person did it.

Intimidating three people with just one move is harder than killing them.

Such methods are alarming and have left many people deeply concerned.

Such a person can see right through you, and that’s the most dangerous part!

A casual thought, a small reaction, or even a glance might completely expose you to such a person.

These three spendthrifts deserved to be tormented a million times.

Canghai’s attack was fierce and ruthless, revealing that he was no ordinary person.

Many people instinctively thought of the word “assassin.”

As for this man in black, they could not perceive him as an assassin, yet he emitted an aura more dangerous than the sea.

Therefore, many people once again began to reassess Lu Yu.

“There’s no need for that. It’s better not to provoke people like him,” someone whispered.

“Right. Either kill him or be more cautious.” Many agreed.

Even the vast sea couldn’t help but glance at Lu Yu a few times.

Unlike others.

Although he didn’t have Lu Yu’s eyes, he understood better the techniques of killing and injuring people.

Lu Yu still has a lot to learn when it comes to handling someone like Chen Zhenglong.

“Sometimes I feel like you’re more suited for killing than I am,” Canghai said, looking at Lu Yu. His expression turned cold again, showing little emotion.

“I won’t let them go when they deserve to die,” Lu Yu replied.

Canghai is a person who doesn’t express himself well. His usual icy demeanor is his normal expression; once he shows too much expression, it means he’s about to kill someone.

“Now, I think these three idiots should finally settle down.”

Canghai glanced at the three people hiding behind Heizi and said, “Today should be a bit easier.”

As he spoke, Canghai took off his backpack, pulled out a small pouch, and spread its contents on the ground. He said, “Ten Mutant Spirit Beads dropped by Demon Apes, each priced at three Spirit Stones; one Mutant Spirit Pearl dropped by a Blood Demon Bear can be exchanged for five Spirit Stones, and also one Warrior Soul dropped by a Blood Demon Bear, also worth five Spirit Stones. Does anyone want to buy?”

Canghai poured out a series of glowing star spirit pearls. As the light shimmered, it had already drawn the attention of many people.

“What?”

“Ten mutated Star Spirit Beads dropped by the Demon Apes, and also some dropped by the Blood Demon Bears?”

Canghai’s words immediately drew the attention of many people.

To obtain ten Mutated Star Spirit Beads dropped by the Demon Apes, you’d need to defeat far more than just ten of them. Based on drop probability calculations, you’d need to defeat at least twenty Demon Apes to expect ten drops. Even with the best luck, it would probably take around sixteen or seventeen of them to yield ten Mutated Star Spirit Beads.

Someone who didn’t believe picked up a few randomly and used their Star Soul to examine them, saying, “Indeed, they are all dropped by魔人猿.”

“Even the Blood Demon Bear was killed?”

“It seems I underestimated him a bit.”

People were talking about it.

Chen Zhenglong’s face turned pale, as if all the blood had drained from it.

Missing an arm and an ear, his appearance was instantly altered. Combined with terror and fear, in an instant, he seemed like a completely different person.

Now I’ve heard that Canghai actually has the military soul of a Blood Demon Bear.

This is the same Blood Demon Bear that you’re talking about killing. Isn’t crushing them to death a simple task?

“It seems that everyone who comes here is indeed extraordinary. I also have two mutated Star Spirit Beads dropped by Blood Demon Bears. Whether you can identify the skills or not will depend on luck.”

After the onlookers saw that the matter had come to a conclusion, they couldn’t help but step forward as well.

Fighting is something that other people do.

Now is the time to do business.

Moreover, with the disruption caused by this person Chen Zhenglong, there’s only one hour left before the Demon Hunting Plains closes.

Therefore, everyone must make the most of this one-hour window.

“It seems there are indeed many experts,” someone remarked, watching a burly man tightly gripping two mutated Star Spirit Beads in his palm, involuntarily drawing in a sharp breath of astonishment.

“Grade 1 Star Soldier – Wolf Fang Blade, attack power 850. Once it inflicts a wound, the wound will be tripled in severity. It also causes an immediate loss of 1,000 life points. Sold for 50 Star Spirit Stones.”

“What is it? Bring it here so I can take a look.”

“If it’s really this attribute, then fifty coins are worth it.”

Many people immediately gathered around, eagerly passing around the wolf fang blade.

Within three minutes, someone bought the Wolf Tooth Blade.

“I’m not very talented, but I can steadily extract skills from the mutated Star Spirit Pearl every day. Recently, I’ve extracted several excellent skills. For example, the vampiric skill from the Blood Demon Bear, which can be upgraded twice. When activated, this skill allows each attack to drain 100 points of blood from the opponent for one minute. Its cooldown time is half an hour, and the selling price is forty Star Spirit Pearls. I think this price is quite reasonable. Additionally, there are also…”

A young man rolled out more than a dozen white crystal beads, each describing a skill that varied in quality.

However, that doesn’t matter.

Importantly, there is actually a way to extract skills from the Spiritual Star Bead.

There really is all sorts of people.

Using the skill of the Mutated Star Soul Pearl is a gamble.

Sometimes, even seven or eight attempts won’t result in unlocking a single skill.

The extracted skills can be sold at eight times the price of a mutated Star Spirit Pearl, which is already quite reasonable.

“Forty Star Spirit Beads, I’ll take them.”

“Wild Wolf Impact, give it to me.”

Compared to gambling for the Star Spirit Pearl, buying the skill directly is a better deal.

In no time, the young man had already sold all his skills and was holding nearly two hundred star spirit pearls. Satisfied, he said, “Everyone, please note that this skill also has a chance of failure. So, it might be quite some time before I sell skills again. If you can’t wait, why not try purchasing a mutated star spirit pearl and test your luck?”

At this moment, the atmosphere across the plains became completely vibrant.

Chen Zhenglong and others were completely stunned.

Those who can enter here are truly extraordinary individuals. Star weapons, the stellar spirit pearls of Blood Demon Bears, and the stellar spirit pearls of Demon Ape Men—monsters that would be nearly impossible to approach in the wild are now here, transformed into docile pets as tame as kittens.

Just about anyone could produce a few items dropped by powerful monsters.

If it weren’t for what happened just now, they would have had the chance to get these as well.

But now, they don’t even have a single hair left.

They watched helplessly as their hearts pounded with urgency, each one eager to grab it themselves.

However, they no longer dare to.

“Ten thousand Star Spirit Pearls, priced at one hundred and fifty Star Spirit Stones. If someone urgently needs Star Spirit Stones, otherwise they’ll be sold at forty per stone.” Someone even directly grabbed the military backpack weighing dozens of kilograms from their back and asked.

“Wow, ten thousand Star Souls! Where did you get them?” When this person spoke, many people were startled.

How many monsters are there in the city? Have they completely cleared out all the monsters?

It’s only been a few days since the city underwent drastic changes, yet someone actually managed to come up with ten thousand Star Spirit Beads at once. Could it be that he hadn’t used any of them all along?

The man laughed heartily and said, “My friends and I cleared out monsters from several streets to gather these. If it weren’t because I urgently needed star spirits, I wouldn’t be selling them at such a high price! I’m just exchanging them for star spirit stones, so it shouldn’t violate any rules, right?”

As he spoke, the man turned his gaze toward Canghai and Lu Yu.

Canghai nodded and said, “As long as the buyer uses star spirit stones for the transaction, it will be fine.”

“I’ll take these,” Lu Yu said without hesitation, stepping forward. He took out fifty star spirit stones, adding those he had obtained from Chen Zhenglong to the ones he had originally brought in, and handed one after another to the other party.

This really is what he needs.

He is unable to cultivate his star soul, so he can only rely on combat and star spirit beads to enhance his strength.

Staying at Stage One for so long, you’ll need at least 5,000 Star Spirit Beads to reach Stage Two.

He’s really in dire need of it, considering both his skill requirements and the demands of the Killing Domain.

At this moment, the arrival of ten thousand Star Spirit Beads was extremely timely.

“That’s mine!” On the other side, Chen Zhenglong and the others felt like banging their heads against the wall.

In that case, they actually helped this person out.

Ten thousand Star Spirit Beads, and he only used fifty of them to make the purchase. What a bargain!

Moreover, considering that each Star Spirit Stone can be exchanged for forty Star Spirit Beads, selling them in the city would yield a profit of one hundred Star Spirit Stones right away.

A backpack fell into Lu Yu’s hands, and he could already feel its weight.

That’s really not a small amount.

“Friend, are you still selling your short sword?” At this moment, the young man who could extract skills walked up to Lu Yu and asked.

“That’s right, my friend. You mentioned your Star Soldier is worth ten thousand Star Spirit Beads and said you’re willing to sell it. Shouldn’t you show it to us first?”

“Yeah. I was just thinking earlier that we should take a look at it now.”

At this moment, quite a few people gathered around.

“Three hundred Star Spirit Stones, if everyone thinks it’s acceptable, just take them?”

“What the hell, buddy, you can’t do this. You’re charging an arm and a leg here!”

“It’s only been a short while, and the price has already gone up by fifty star coins. That’s a bit underhanded of you, don’t you think?”

Many people began to grumble, dissatisfied with the situation.

“Friend, the rules were set by you. But this sky-high price increase isn’t how business should be done.”

Someone was looking at Lu Yu seriously.

“I had to take down a few people, so I intentionally quoted a low price. If it were higher, I’m afraid they wouldn’t dare to bet against me, and then how could I have a reason to make my move?”

Lu Yu threw a short sword to a person and said, “Examine the attributes of this star-forged weapon carefully before discussing its price with me.”

“A star soldier worth three hundred Star Spirit Stones is really this powerful?!” The person who sold the Wolf Fang Blade was unconvinced. He simply couldn’t believe that, at this time, there existed such an overwhelmingly strong star soldier!
