Lu Yu came to search for the Blood-Weeping Stone, but he never expected that there would be such a treasure hidden inside the Blood-Weeping Beast.
The Blood Soul Pearl can evolve one’s soul, making it an invaluable treasure for a king.
If we can control the source and ensure the supply.
Then the strength of Fanggang will be further enhanced.
“Cooperation?” More than ten people were stunned, not understanding what Lu Yu meant.
Lu Yu said, “Everyone, this is probably your first time coming here to collect, right? You haven’t yet fused with the Blood Soul Beads, correct?”
More than ten people nodded; there was no need to deny this.
“You should know the value of this item to the King. In the dungeon, if you sell the first one, everyone might just think you were lucky to obtain it. However, once you try to sell the second one, it will draw attention. At that point, you will be threatened by powerful individuals, and this secret will no longer remain safe, just as it is now.”
More than ten people immediately frowned.
They had thought about this issue too; but if they didn’t sell this item, would they just keep it?
Something so valuable that you can look at it but not sell it is simply a waste.
Who knows when they’ll be able to use it if we wait until then.
“Senior, do you mean that we are responsible for collecting them, and you handle the sales?” someone asked with half-belief and doubt. “But with your abilities, even if we hand the items over to you, won’t you still be targeted anyway?”
“It was purely by accident that I ended up being hunted,” said Lu Yu. “Let me be honest with all of you—I am human, not one of your Blood Eyes. I will be returning to the surface soon, and I cannot stay underground much longer. Do you really think the next person you encounter will let you off so easily, without attempting to kill you?”
“Human beings… humanity?” Dozens of people listened, feeling as if a deafening thunderclap had struck their ears.
A person stammered in a trembling voice: “You, you are Lu Yu. Not long ago, I heard news that you accepted a mission in Blood Sea City and were attacked by over a thousand Kings. You, you actually escaped!”
“What?”
“Brother, haven’t you heard the news?”
“Come on. Are you kidding me? Couldn’t even a thousand kings stop this person?”
More than ten people felt the sky spinning, each one kneeling down, feeling as if their hearts were about to leap out of their chests.
“I am Lu Yu, a human being. I came underground just to have a look, and I will return soon. If you all cooperate, there’s no need to worry about me killing you. Because if I escape this time, it will be impossible for me to easily return underground again.”
Lu Yu said with a bitter smile.
After this incident, the major cities on the ground might issue bans against him, and once that happens, he probably won’t have another chance to enter.
“Therefore, I’ll need someone underground to help me collect the Blood Soul Beads. You don’t have to worry about being controlled or silenced by those you sell to in the underworld. Of course, you’re free to decline if you wish.”
It took more than ten people quite a while before they finally reacted.
“May we have a discussion, sir?” someone asked cautiously.
“Of course.” Lu Yu gestured for them to make themselves comfortable.
More than ten people got up and walked away to a distance, then started discussing in low voices.
Lu Yu overheard some conversations containing words like “human, bloodshot eyes, and race.”
The group of more than ten people discussed for half an hour before one of them finally stepped forward, clasped his fists toward Lu Yu, and asked, “Mr. Lu, what would we gain if we choose to cooperate?”
“When you bring the Blood Soul珠 to the surface, we’ll discuss the price. For now, I can supply you with armor and weapons.”
Lu Yu didn’t stand on ceremony either. He opened his storage space and poured out a pile of star soldiers with tens of thousands of attribute points, along with millions of defensive armors.
“My goodness!”
More than ten people were instantly drawn to the dazzling light emanating from the star soldiers and their armor.
In an instant, they realized that the value and attributes of these weapons were absolutely extraordinary.
“This, this is for us?” someone looked at Lu Yu, hardly able to believe their eyes!
Lu Yu said, “These items should be the most practical weapons for you. Each of you can choose two sets of armor and two weapons.”
“Really?”
The dozen or so people were overjoyed, almost bursting into cheers one after another.
Ignoring Lu Yu still being nearby, they each grabbed a weapon.
“My goodness, this is a top-grade star soldier with three attributes and three skills. Am I seeing things? Even on the mission stones, the chance of encountering such a weapon is extremely low.”
“Each of the three attributes has 50,000 honorifics. Goodness gracious, there’s even a skill called ‘Too Poisonous’—this is a top-grade treasure, absolutely extraordinary!”
“My eyes are going blind. This armor’s attributes are actually at the level of a millionfold enhancement, and it even comes with a skill of Royal Veneration rank.”
More than ten people were about to throw themselves into the pile of weapons and armor, almost not wanting to come out.
Finally, each of the dozen or so people selected two weapons and two sets of armor.
Now they were no longer afraid of Lu Yu at all, each one standing on the spot, extremely excited.
Lu Yu packed up the remaining items and said, “Everyone, these supplies should be enough for you to survive at the edge of this blood ocean. And by taking my things, you’ve shown that you accept my request for cooperation, right?”
“No problem at all.” More than ten people nodded excitedly and said in unison, “We are willing to cooperate!”
“Mr. Lu, rest assured. Once we successfully integrate the Blood Soul Pearl, we will send a representative to deliver it to the surface. But how should we find you?”
Dozens of people never doubted Lu Yu’s power.
Since Lu Yu was able to escape even when surrounded by thousands of kings, could he possibly be weak?
Even a city lord like King Yama couldn’t catch up with Lu Yu from behind; this person must also be a city lord on the earthly realm.
Such a powerful individual could easily send someone to investigate on the ground and would surely uncover some information.
“Then you just collect and sell them; I’ll take care of the rest. I’ll stay underground, and since I’ll only be relying on you people from now on, I naturally won’t treat you unfairly.” Lu Yu nodded and said, “You go to the surface and inquire about Fanggang. When you arrive, look for a person named Liu Xing. He will negotiate the price with you.”
After giving instructions to these people, Lu Yu stood up and was about to leave.
Someone called out to Lu Yu, “Mr. Lu, for the two Blood Soul Beads, what price are you offering?”
“What?” Lu Yu had just turned around when he heard those words, causing his figure to pause abruptly.
“What do you want to exchange?” Lu Yu asked, frowning slightly as he thought.
This person, now presumably the representative of the group, spoke up and said, “This item is extremely valuable. We’ve always wanted to exchange it for a King’s Crystal. What do you think?”
“Deal!”
Without a word, Lu Yu took out a King Crystal from his storage space.
This was one he had saved for himself after the initial darkness had passed, in case he encountered battles too difficult to handle or moments where his life was at stake.
However, once we obtained the King’s Blood Crystal, this crystal became useless.
The Wang Xue Crystal can also make one a king, and it has another effect that the King Crystal cannot provide.
“Isn’t this true?” More than ten people excitedly rubbed their eyes, each face filled with exhilaration.
Because for them, this is the treasure they have always longed for.
The representative immediately took out a storage bead from his bosom and retrieved two fist-sized, translucent, blood-red crystals, handing them to Lu Yu and said, “These are the Blood Soul Stones. Is the one you hold truly the King Crystal?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can choose someone to try it out!” Lu Yu handed the King’s Crystal to the other party’s representative.
Everyone was staring at the King’s Crystal.
They haven’t even seen them before, let alone touched them. Now that they have the King’s Crystal in their hands, they don’t even know how to use it.
Someone rubbed their hands together excitedly and said, “Li Xiong, since you’re now our representative, why don’t you just take it? This way, having a king like you by our side, we won’t have to worry or be afraid of anything we do in the future!”
“Yeah, Brother Li, I acknowledge your character. I don’t mind you using this King’s Crystal.”
“After you become a king, it will be much easier for us to capture the Qi Xue Beast. Then, we can exchange even more Blood Soul Beads for additional King-Making Crystals!”
More than ten people unanimously agreed that the representatives elected just now should be the ones to use it.
Lu Yu no longer concerned himself with these matters; he bid farewell to these people.
The rest of the matter had nothing to do with him anymore.
These people could not possibly be so arrogant as to believe that a single king alone could guard the secret of the Blood Soul Pearl beneath the earth.
Therefore, the transaction can still continue for a period of time.
Lu Yu’s purpose for coming here was definitely the Blood-Weeping Stone.
After leaving these people, he immediately headed deeper into the Sea of Blood.
The edge of the Blood Sea is where ordinary Blood-weeping Beasts reside, while the center is a domain accessible only to the powerful King-tier and Sovereign King-tier Blood-weeping Beasts.
Lu Yu flew through the air, with an endless sea of blood below.
He flew for half a day before finally spotting a small island, no more than a few miles across, in the center of the blood-red sea.
The island turned out to be made up of countless piles of beast bones resembling lizards.
“After the Blood-Crying Beast dies, its blood, flesh, and bones all merge into the blood. Yet these beast bones aren’t dissolving—this small island must be extraordinary,” Lu Yu murmured to himself, preparing to land on the island.
Just as he descended to a point more than a hundred meters above the island, the blood-colored sea surrounding the island suddenly began to churn with tiny waves.
Such speed is completely beyond the limits of the human eye.
The moment Lu Yu felt a sudden surge of danger, his body was already pierced by hundreds of sharp spikes.
At this moment, Lu Yu finally saw that what had hit him were the tongues of the Blood-weeping Beasts. These tongues were actually hundreds of meters long, capable of striking prey directly in the air.
Lu Yu’s body was as hard as steel; when struck, it felt as if the king himself had landed a blow upon him.
In an instant, hundreds of kings launched their attacks on him, sending him flying hundreds of meters into the air, crashing into the rock face 500 meters above.
Lu Yu didn’t feel any pain, but he experienced a tingling sensation on his scalp.
He felt something was wrong the moment he saw the bone island.
This sea of blood is right here; it’s impossible for no one to come and take a look.
However, the fact that the Bone Island remains intact now indicates that no one who has come before has had the opportunity to get close to success.
The blow he just suffered was undoubtedly a strike from a King-level Blood-weeping Beast.
This bone island might be a sacred site of the Blood-Weeping Beast, guarded by hundreds of kings. This is definitely not good news.
Lu Yu hovered in midair for a moment, then gritted his teeth and descended once more.
When he descended to a position more than a hundred meters above the bone island, the blood sea immediately began to surge with waves.
This time, Lu Yu was prepared. His eyes remained fixed on the sea of blood, and the moment the waves appeared, he had already flown up.
But this time, he was still a little too slow. The Eagle King’s wings were fast enough.
However, he rose two hundred meters in just one ten-thousandth of a second, yet his body was still struck by hundreds of sharp spines.
Bang!
Lu Yu was once again struck and slammed against the rocky ceiling above him.
But he saw clearly that those spikes were actually the tongue tips of the Blood-weeping Beast, darting out and retracting in an instant.
He had also judged his strength.
If a king like Yama, the King of Hell, didn’t have defensive capabilities, anyone approaching him would be pierced with a single strike.
Lu Yu stood high above, gazing at the Bone Island with clenched teeth. After a long while, he summoned the Devil King’s fury and then donned the Starlight Heavy Armor.
This time, he was ready to use all his defensive power to break through directly into the Bone Island.
Once all forces are mobilized, I believe someone will soon detect his presence.
If it doesn’t succeed this time, he’ll have to run away again.
