How do you want to die!
These four words were as despair-inducing as a soul-snatching demonic chant!
Lu Yu’s meaning was already crystal clear. He had no intention of sparing anyone.
“Are you really not going to let anyone go?” Wu Zizhong still clung to a sliver of hope, gritting his teeth as he glared at Lu Yu.
“Did you ever think of sparing me?” Lu Yu replied coldly. “So you can go back and bring more people to kill me?”
“Don’t forget, I still have nearly two hundred people here!” Wu Zizhong was still unwilling to accept defeat.
Who would willingly face death? Everyone stood up, suppressing their fear as they tightened their grip on their weapons, preparing for a final desperate fight!
“Hmph, two hundred people?” Lu Yu sneered. “If two hundred people could kill me, do you think you’d be here watching your Blood Demon Bear die?”
“Don’t push us! If we go down together, you really think I won’t take some of you with me?” Wu Zizhong’s eyes turned red as he roared furiously at Lu Yu.
“Suddenly, I find you all uninteresting,” Lu Yu stared at Wu Zizhong for a long time before breaking into laughter.
Wu Zizhong and the others were stunned, thinking Lu Yu was about to let them go.
“Killing you would only waste my time and bring me nothing. However, someone might find the star weapons you carry quite valuable,” Lu Yu said, turning to the crowd surrounding Wu Zizhong. “Right now, if you kill them, you only need to pay me the market price for the star weapons they carry. Anything else on their bodies belongs to me.”
Wu Zizhong and the others were taken aback before exclaiming bitterly, “You bastard, you’re ruthless.”
The people from Fanggang City were stunned for a moment, then quickly burst into cheers.
“Great!”
The Blood Eyes didn’t hesitate and suddenly charged forward.
For these hundreds of Blood Eyes, it wasn’t just about the star weapons; it was also about the skills within these people’s bodies.
More importantly, star weapons weren’t that common in Fanggang City anymore.
While a single star weapon might not be worth much, its value and attribute enhancements were far superior to those dropped by ordinary wolf demons. Therefore, each additional star weapon significantly boosted a team’s strength.
Now, with Lu Yu’s words, it was as if giving them free rein to kill, with whoever seized a star weapon claiming it for themselves.
If a team gained ten or even dozens of star weapons, their strength would increase by more than just a single fold.
Thus, the Blood Eyes were the first to charge forward.
“We agree!”
The people from Fanggang’s various camps hadn’t expected the Blood Eyes to be so decisive. They immediately realized that if they lagged behind, they wouldn’t even get the scraps.
These Blood Eyes were truly monstrous creatures capable of devouring humans.
If they grabbed everything, this city would become the Blood Eyes’ strongest territory.
Originally, they had planned to negotiate a little with Lu Yu, but now there was no need to talk.
Grabbing a single star weapon meant pure profit!
Moreover, if Lu Yu had killed these people himself, the star weapons would have been sold by him, and the competition for them would likely have driven prices higher.
But now, they were being sold at the original price, and whoever grabbed more would depend on their strength. This excited everyone.
Thousands of people simultaneously attacked, surrounding the two hundred individuals.
“Damn you! May you die a bad death!” Wu Zizhong jumped up, tearing off the mask and cursing furiously.
“Go curse in hell.”
Lu Yu crossed his arms and stood at the rear, watching thousands of people attack the two hundred. He knew the tactics of using wolves to swallow tigers.
If he personally killed these people, it would be a complete slaughter with his current strength, which genuinely held no interest for him.
The Blood Eyes were like beasts, already beginning to devour human flesh as they attacked.
From their flesh, they could obtain skills, which drove them into a frenzy.
Two hundred people were surrounded by more than ten times their number, with dozens attacking each individual. It was as if in an instant, someone could be torn apart.
Screams of agony echoed continuously, like a living hell, with death everywhere.
“We were wrong.”
“Please spare us.”
“Master, I’m willing to be your dog. Please, I don’t want to die!”
Pleas for mercy arose from all sides, but Lu Yu’s expression only grew colder!
Ten minutes later, the battle ended.
Thousands of people began cleaning up the battlefield, many filled with excitement and eagerness.
Out of the two hundred, a large majority possessed star weapons.
They were merely finishing off the remnants, and had already profited immensely.
If they had to make star weapons themselves, they would have to wait for star crystals to become available. With only twenty supplied per day, how much would be left after dividing them up?
With these star weapons in hand, combined with star crystals, they could better enhance their skills.
Now, directly possessing star weapons made their strength significantly stronger.
Someone secretly obtained a good star weapon and tried to hide it away.
But someone else noticed the action.
Without even needing Lu Yu to intervene, several people stepped forward, killing the individual and seizing the star weapon.
They remembered Lu Yu’s words spoken back at the camp.
He disliked people making mistakes. If someone caused him trouble, unless they handed over the body, they would get nothing from Lu Yu.
Because of these words, they dared not risk losing access to star crystals by doing such things.
Thus, no one dared to secretly hide anything anymore.
The Blood Eyes brought dozens of star weapons and handed them to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu glanced at them, calculated the prices, and then reported the totals to the Blood Eyes.
Business was conducted not based on who the person was but solely for profit.
Even though he had recently clashed with the Blood Eyes, that didn’t hinder their current dealings.
Dozens of star weapons varied in price, some cheap, some expensive.
Calculating them all together, they amounted to ten thousand Star Spirit Pearls.
Then the Blood Eyes handed over all the collected Star Spirit Pearls, Soul Crystals, and Mutated Star Spirit Pearls to Lu Yu.
These were another considerable sum.
Such a busy night continued until just before dawn.
Lu Yu alone earned thirty thousand Star Spirit Pearls just from selling star weapons.
Additionally, the two hundred individuals carried over ten thousand Star Spirit Pearls, more than five hundred Mutated Star Spirit Pearls, and over one hundred thirty Star Crystals.
He had only killed the Blood Demon Bear, while the rest were eliminated by others, yet he still gained such immense benefits effortlessly.
“This is the benefit of being strong,” Lu Yu thought, as he simply drove a car, loading all the Star Spirit Pearls inside before heading back.
Only after Lu Yu left did the surrounding beasts dare to move.
Before dawn, over two hundred corpses were completely devoured, leaving no remains.
Although they failed to kill any living people, the fresh flesh of the dead still served as a feast.
As many people left, they saw these monsters devouring human corpses without any reaction.
Because these people had nothing to do with them; even in death, they remained indifferent.
When Lu Yu returned to the mine, the sky was already bright.
Xiao Xiao had returned to the mine early. When she saw Lu Yu, her eyes held both fear and admiration.
It was the first time she had seen this “older brother” fight like this, even capable of killing such monstrous creatures.
“This night’s earnings were substantial. I really hope more such fools come in the future.”
Lu Yu organized his belongings, merged them together, and then asked Xiao Xiao to help sort them out.
Of course, he paid her a few Star Spirit Pearls for her help.
This sorting process took over an hour.
The total Star Spirit Pearls amounted to sixty thousand!
From initially planning to spend up to now having sixty thousand pearls, this number was almost unbelievable.
There were still over six hundred Mutated Star Spirit Pearls left, which would require some time to organize.
The inferior Mutated Star Spirit Pearls would be kept for later use in releasing skills!
The better quality pearls were intended for sale at the Demon Hunter Plains.
As for the top-tier pearls, he reserved them for himself.
This night, quite a few Star Crystals had also been mined.
Combined with those he had exchanged from the Demon Hunter Plains, he now had three hundred.
From nothing to relative comfort in one step.
This fortune was already considerable.
After finishing organizing everything, Lu Yu began to recheck his basic attributes.
The gains from this battle were truly enormous. He finally understood why his Star Soul had activated so slowly before, and why each attribute increase had been so minimal.
Because the enemies had been too weak. Opponents like the Blood Demon Bear could activate the Star Soul twice in a single battle.
Just the basic attributes, each had increased by at least two thousand points!
His base maximum HP was now 7,530 points, base attack power 4,240 points, and base physical toughness 8,570 points.
He was getting close to the peak of level two.
If calculating the enhancements from star weapons, his maximum HP had already reached nine thousand points, nearly approaching the limit.
“I still need to work hard. Tonight I’ll head to the Demon Hunter Plains for a round.”
After experiencing the terrifying power of nearing level two, Lu Yu became eager to truly reach that stage.
After paying Xiao Xiao part of the reward, Lu Yu took his belongings and walked to the Domain Crystal. His first priority was to build the remaining few defense towers, completing the set of ten towers.
All ten of these towers were positioned in the southeast direction, each spaced a certain distance apart.
Lu Yu intended to wait for an upgrade before spreading the defense towers around the entire domain.
For now, the area was safe, so he planned to build gradually.
When the Kill Soul reached level two, his ability could merge with the Kill Domain.
At that time, he finally had the time to carefully examine it, only then realizing:
The so-called integration allowed the level two domain to integrate only one ability from the Kill Soul, although this ability could be chosen.
This ability would be integrated into the defense towers, giving each tower this ability.
Lu Yu frowned, muttering to himself, “Soul Devour is a good skill, but what’s needed at this stage is to enhance the domain’s attack power. This one can be temporarily set aside. Kill Smash is also decent, with a special effect dealing 300 points of damage, but the consumption of Star Spirit Pearls is too high. If every tower’s attack was a Kill Smash, even with ten thousand Star Spirit Pearls, it wouldn’t be enough. What about Life Steal?”
Lu Yu carefully examined the description displayed on the crystal screen.
After integrating the effect of Bloodthirst Blade, the defense towers would increase the domain’s HP by killing enemies.
“This is good. Killing attackers can continuously replenish HP, combined with the domain’s natural regeneration effect, allowing it to last longer.”
Without further hesitation, Lu Yu chose to integrate Bloodthirst Blade into the Kill Domain.
…
Level 2 Defense Tower:
Attributes: Attack power 1,500 points, maximum HP 30,000 points, defense equivalent to the domain owner’s physical toughness.
Skill: Bloodthirst Blade.
Ability – Successfully killing an enemy will absorb 30 HP from the target to replenish the tower’s lost HP.
…
Lu Yu was very satisfied with the attributes.
Now that he had reached level two, he began to focus on what was needed for the level three Kill Domain.
Lu Yu checked the upgrade requirements and immediately felt a headache, inhaling sharply in shock, “30,000 Star Spirit Pearls, 1,000 Mutated Star Spirit Pearls, 500 Star Crystals, that’s ruthless!”
“Looks like I’m still lacking.”
After finishing building the remaining defense towers, Lu Yu only had over 200 Star Crystals and over 500 Mutated Star Spirit Pearls left, both still insufficient.
“If necessary, I’ll go to the Demon Hunter Plains and collect Star Spirit Pearls using Star Crystals,” Lu Yu muttered to himself.
Indeed, no matter how much he earned, it was never enough.
Looks like he still had to work hard!
