The girl clapped her hands, laughing joyfully as if she felt she had guessed correctly.
At this moment, Wang Fei and the others immediately lit up with realization, nodding in agreement. “Right, right, it must be that cave. There’s even a Blood Demon Bear guarding it outside.”
“Oh, where is that cave you mentioned?” Lu Yu’s heart stirred slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, “You know where that cave is?”
“It’s not much, really,” Wang Fei immediately replied in a calm tone. “A couple of days ago, when we were escaping from monsters around here, we noticed a cave. However, outside the cave, there was a Blood Demon Bear crouching. Additionally, there was a Demon Ape holding a human corpse in its hands, respectfully walking into the cave, and then coming out again empty-handed. So the cave Liu Yan mentioned must be that one. Whoever or whatever can command a Demon Ape must be an even more powerful monster, don’t you think?”
“That’s actually true,” Lu Yu agreed, nodding his head. “Take me over to see it.”
Wang Fei hesitated, saying, “Well, we really don’t dare to go there anymore. What if there’s actually a monster more powerful than the Blood Demon Bear inside?”
“There’s me here, I can hold them off for a while,” Lu Yu urged anxiously. “Go on, if you get anything good, I’ll just take a bit more for myself later.”
Wang Fei hesitated as he glanced at his companion, then finally nodded as if making a firm decision: “Alright then, we’ll have to head back.”
As he spoke, Wang Fei turned his head, signaling his companions to be cautious of the bushes.
No one noticed the faint, sinister smiles that flickered across the lips of Wang Fei and his few companions.
Lu Yu followed behind, his eyes flickering slightly.
That cave was indeed not a secret; it’s just that no one dared to enter it.
When the woman spoke for the first time, Lu Yu had already begun to suspect what she was about to say.
Lu Yu pretended to be confused, wanting to see just how long these people could hold out.
Sure enough, whenever they get a chance, they’ll find a way to steer the conversation toward this topic.
What exactly did they see inside?
Without some kind of motivation, they wouldn’t have dared to resort to such tricks just because a demonic humanoid ape had appeared.
This cave seems to rise from underground. The entrance looks like a skull head two meters high and three meters wide with its mouth wide open. At the location of the mouth is the pitch-black cave, where you can vaguely see several stone steps leading downward.
The Blood Demon Bear guarding the cave entrance didn’t even require Wang Fei and the others to take action.
Lu Yu acted alone and immediately discovered that this was yet another monster with all three attributes at their peak.
Even without this cave, Lu Yu would have been eager to seek out such a monster.
In this battle, Lu Yu’s maximum life also reached its limit, with his attack power increasing by 1,100 points, yet his stamina still could not be enhanced!
“Almost there!” Lu Yu murmured softly in his heart, yet he stared in astonishment at the cave, asking, “This is the cave you were talking about?”
“That’s exactly it!” Wang Fei nodded and said, “If Mr. Lu wants to go inside, we really wouldn’t dare to accompany you.”
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Let me walk ahead, in case something happens I can help shield you,” Lu Yu replied calmly.
Wang Fei still shook his head with a dry laugh, “No, we really don’t dare to do that. Mr. Lu, if it’s really such a powerful monster, we don’t even know if we could escape ourselves. Besides, the passage inside must be narrow. If, heaven forbid, something happens, we might not even have a way to run away.”
Others also nodded in agreement, saying, “Mr. Lu, if we scatter and flee across the plains, most of us could survive. But in this place, we might end up crushed to death.”
“Well then, since you all say so, I won’t force you,” Lu Yu said with a smile. “If you won’t go in, I’ll give it a try myself.”
Lu Yu, his expression grave, stared intently at the cave entrance, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.
The cave isn’t really wide inside—probably only about two meters across—and the height is just over two meters.
As soon as stepping inside, one could feel the damp and moldy smell.
It wasn’t particularly dark inside either; around the cave walls, tiny spots of starlight shimmered within the rocks.
“This… this is unformed Star Spirit Ore,” Lu Yu recognized it at first glance.
Lu Yu asked Number One many questions about Star Spirit Stones. Like all ores, Star Spirit Stone ore is also naturally formed.
In the long process, many of the ores may not necessarily be transformed into star spirit stone ore in the end.
However, as a hard Protoss mineral, it can be used for construction.
What he was seeing now seemed to be an unformed star spirit stone deposit.
Lu Yu ran his hand along the stone wall as he descended the stone steps. The lower he went, the flatter the path became.
The stone steps seemed very old, with decayed sections full of numerous pits and hollows, while some parts were covered in moss.
Lu Yu had just descended the final stone step when the path ahead opened up into a straight corridor.
The passageways on both sides had become somewhat wider, allowing space for five or six people to walk side by side.
Lu Yu glanced around slightly, then quickly darted into the shadow of the stone wall on the left, holding his breath tightly.
Time passed second by second, and no sound came from the stone steps.
Lu Yu remained motionless, hiding in the dark corner.
Lu Yu didn’t believe that Wang Fei and the others had led him here just to get him out of the car.
When it comes to patience, Lu Yu could stand here for three days and three nights until he collapses from exhaustion.
I wonder if Wang Fei and others have such good patience.
Ten minutes later, faint footsteps could already be heard on the stone steps.
A woman’s voice whispered softly, “Wang Fei, do you think Lu Yu can lead that monster away?”
“Just a moment is all we need,” Wang Fei said with a hint of pride. “As long as we can get through, that’s enough.”
“That’s right,” someone agreed, and then there was silence, broken only by the faint sound of footsteps.
More than ten figures descended one after another. Upon reaching the flat ground, they listened attentively to the sounds coming from the front.
“Huh, why isn’t there any movement?”
“Yeah, judging by the time, they should have met by now.”
Everyone looked a bit puzzled.
Wang Fei’s eyes darted as he turned pale and whispered, “Oh no!”
He suddenly turned around and rushed out without caring about anyone’s thoughts.
He was fast, yet there was something even faster.
Lu Yu took a step forward onto the stone steps of the passageway and sneered, “You all aren’t afraid of death, are you? Why have you dared to come down here?”
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu!”
Wang Fei’s heart leaped to his throat, and his face turned ghostly blue under the dim starlight.
“Oh, Mr. Lu, it’s such a relief that you’re okay!” A girl with a fair amount of charm patted her chest in relief, happily saying, “We were so worried about you that we followed you down here. It’s great that you’re alright.”
Saying that, the girl smiled and walked towards Lu Yu. She deliberately unbuttoned two buttons, revealing a small, snowy-white portion of her chest.
“Beauty trap?” Lu Yu scoffed, “You’d better step back. Take one more step forward, and I’ll make you the first to die.”
The girl’s face changed expression, and she stood in place embarrassedly, not daring to move again.
Lu Yu’s icy gaze swept over Wang Fei and the others as he coldly said, “Do you really think I don’t know about this place, or do you actually believe I haven’t noticed your little tricks? I’ve never believed that someone would recklessly fight against monsters much stronger than themselves for just a third of the reward. Therefore, you had better tell me the real reason why you deceived me into coming here.”
Wang Fei smiled awkwardly and said, “How could that be, Mr. Lu? Even if it’s for the Star Spirit Stone, we wouldn’t dare to deceive you.”
Lu Yu’s face instantly turned as cold as frost, and suddenly he lunged forward like a storm, hurling a punch toward the girl at the front.
His current base attack power is already over 7,000, plus the effect of the Demon-Slaying Sword.
With just this one punch, he directly shattered through the girl’s chest.
Lu Yu’s fist emerged from the girl’s back and then slowly retracted.
The metallic scent of blood dissipated.
Wang Fei and others were terrified, not expecting Lu Yu to act so decisively.
The woman who had just tried to seduce Lu Yu never expected that standing so close would be the reason for her death.
The woman’s body slowly collapsed to the ground, and blood flowed from the wound.
“Now, tell me,” Lu Yu said coldly, blocking the entrance once again. “You should know by now that I’m not kidding. If you don’t talk, I’ll kill another person, and keep killing until someone among you finally speaks.”
“I, we—” Wang Fei opened his mouth, wanting desperately to continue lying.
When he saw his companion lying on the ground, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat.
Wang Fei gritted his teeth and said, “I only know that beyond this passage lies a group of ancient buildings left over from an unknown era. In the center, there’s a place resembling an altar. In front of the altar stands a life form similar to an ape.”
“Is that all?” Lu Yu asked with a smile, tilting his head.
“There’s nothing left.”
Lu Yu’s hand shot up abruptly.
“Don’t, don’t kill us. There really isn’t any more,” Wang Fei’s voice became sharp with fear as he cried out, “I truly only know this much.”
“It seems you still think I’m that easy to fool.” Lu Yu took another step forward and attacked the nearest person again.
His speed was simply impossible to evade in such a confined space.
A man was decapitated by Lu Yu’s right hand, which was as sharp as a sword, and his arm was gleaming with a sharp, sword-like luster.
“Really, there’s truly nothing left,” Wang Fei kept shouting. “Go ahead and kill us all, but we really don’t know anything else.”
Wang Fei shouted, even closing his eyes, wearing an expression that seemed to say, “You’ve killed me.”
“Alright, Wang Fei, there’s no point in hiding anything anymore,” said a voice from the stone steps behind Lu Yu, accompanied by approaching footsteps.
Wang Fei’s face lit up with delight, and he opened his eyes again.
My voice was a bit too loud just now; it should have carried up to the cave above.
Lu Yu listened to the footsteps above; at least twenty people were coming down.
It’s really a bit troublesome to be attacked from both sides in such a narrow environment.
“Mr. Lu, since you could guess that they were deceiving you, we won’t hide anything from you either,” a voice from behind Lu Yu said, “On that altar, we have seen the souls of the Blue Star, and in considerable numbers.”
“Oh!” Lu Yu’s eyes immediately sparkled with excitement as he exclaimed, “The Soul of Blue Planet—it’s actually the Soul of Blue Planet. If that’s the case, then it truly was worth your risk in coming here to deceive me.”
“Of course, besides the Soul of the Blue Planet, we also found that the ape-like creature had at least three other treasures by its side. And I can assure you, each one is invaluable. This is because the altar has four corners, and three of them already have offerings placed.”
