Chapter 103: The Blood Prison (1)

Lu Yu’s goal is the north!

He left the city where he had lived for four years without the slightest sense of attachment.

If it weren’t for that one time, he would never have come to this city. Being here is merely a promise he made.

Now that he has gained strength, he is both able and daring enough to leave.

“Wait for me. I will make all of you regret this,” Lu Yu’s first words after walking out of Fanggang were a furious roar to the heavens!

His footsteps were incredibly firm, and he never looked back.

A map, a highway, he knew the next city was there.

It seemed that the aura emanating from Lu Yu was too powerful, so along the way, few monsters dared to provoke him.

After leaving Fanggang for nearly ten kilometers, standing here, one can no longer see any buildings of Fanggang.

That night, Lu Yu encountered only three demons.

These guys are hiding in the grass on both sides of the highway, and as soon as they spot someone, they will immediately pounce out.

However, Lu Yu had the Iron Ring and the Silver Armor skill, making him completely unafraid of these guys being able to instantly kill him.

In the latter part of the night, Lu Yu was inside an abandoned car by the roadside. He slept there until dawn, then continued walking.

For three consecutive days, he walked nearly a hundred kilometers.

On the evening of the third day, he saw a line of people on the highway.

This group of people became entangled with the two evil beings.

Obviously, there was no one in this group with a third-level Star Soul.

Under the tremendous power of the demon, this group of people had absolutely no ability to fight back.

There were already nearly twenty bodies lying on the ground, and the remaining thirty people were also beginning to lose their strength.

This group of people first looked surprised upon seeing Lu Yu walking alone, then one of them joyfully shouted, “Friend, help us.”

In his opinion, anyone who dares to come here alone must possess considerable strength.

The two demonic figures also spotted Lu Yu and came to a halt.

A demon man stared at Lu Yu, able to sense the bloody aura emanating from him.

Among them, there was the bloody aura of at least five or more evil beings.

A monstrous figure stared at Lu Yu and said, “Human, we don’t want to be your enemy. You go your own way. This area is our territory, and I can guarantee that none of them will provoke you.”

As soon as the demon spoke, the thirty people under attack were taken aback.

“Did I… did I hear that right?”

“Even the demon people don’t want to provoke him. How powerful could he really be?”

“Is there actually someone whom even the demon people fear?”

While these people were astonished, they also hoped that Lu Yu would step forward to save them.

However, Lu Yu merely glanced at these people and walked straight through the gap between the two demon men without any intention of stopping.

The corners of the mouths of the two demon men slightly curved upward.

As long as this person doesn’t get involved, those people are definitely doomed.

At this moment, someone, thinking quickly in the crisis, shouted loudly: “Friend, if you save us, we are willing to give you the most precious thing in our possession.”

Lu Yu stopped and turned his head to look at these people, saying, “What is the most valuable thing here?”

“We have obtained a special mutated Zerg crystal. If you are willing to save us, this item will be yours.”

The man gritted his teeth, took out a mutated Star Spirit Pearl from his pocket, and shook it slightly.

Lu Yu looked at the mutated Star Spirit Pearl, whose appearance and color were completely different from those of a normal Star Spirit Pearl, and couldn’t help but feel a stirring in his heart.

The two demonic figures did not expect Lu Yu to stop at this moment. They both stared at him coldly and said in unison, “Human, are you trying to interfere?”

“I only act for money,” Lu Yu said coldly. “You can fight me if you want, or I’ll take them away right now!”

The two demons exchanged a glance, then gritted their teeth and said, “Take the living, but leave the dead behind.”

“Good.” Lu Yu waved at the people and said, “Let’s go!”

“Quick, go!”

The person holding the mutated Star Spirit Pearl was overjoyed and waved for everyone to hurry forward.

At times like this, the dead can no longer do anything about it.

Some looked at Lu Yu with admiration, while others regarded him with respect.

Even the demon people dare not make a move; just how powerful is this person?

After this group of more than thirty people walked out together with Lu Yu for several miles, the one holding the mutated Star Spirit Pearl finally said, “This mutated Star Spirit Pearl belongs to you now! My name is Shen Minghui; may I ask for your honorable name, friend?”

“Lu Yu!”

Lu Yu, while answering, drew closer to take a look at the mutated Star Spirit Pearl. His heart shuddered, and he asked, “What did you kill?”

Shen Minghui said, “It’s a scaly snake covered all over with hard armor. Don’t underestimate it just because it’s only level two. It has already killed seven or eight of us.”

Another person looked at the Mutated Star Spirit Pearl不甘心地 and said, “If it weren’t for us having exhausted all our skills, these two魔人 would have died!”

Shen Minghui knew what the person was trying to say and responded in a deep voice: “Li Yong, don’t waste words. You should be grateful just to save your life—what do you have to complain about!”

The one called Li Yong immediately shut up.

“This mutated Star Spirit Pearl will serve as your reward for being saved,” Lu Yu said unceremoniously, crushing the mutated Star Spirit Pearl into pieces!

Silver Dragon Armor: Unique

Level: Two

Attribute: None.

Effect: The Silver Dragon Armor primarily mitigates damage. When you are attacked, the armor will activate, absorbing the damage. Each time it absorbs an attack, your physical body will automatically become stronger.

The Grade 2 Silver Dragon Armor can enhance the body’s strength up to the level of a demon.

Skills:

Silver Dragon Possession — When activating Silver Dragon Possession, your body will be covered in dragon scales. For the following minute, you will become completely invincible, taking no damage from any attacks.

Another skill similar to the Touch of the Poisonous Dragon.

This type of skill completely ignores the enhancement effects of Kill Ascension.

But the inherent effect is already powerful enough.

And the enhancement level has reached the Demon King class!

Lu Yu had calculated that with his strength, using a star blade to strike the demon’s body would at most create a deep wound exposing the bone beneath.

If his physical strength truly reached the level of a demon, then for ordinary people, if their strength was weaker than his, even if they slashed at him, it might only cut his skin, causing no real harm to him.

“Good luck!” Lu Yu murmured to himself.

“We are from Lei County. Which city are you from, Mr. Lu?” Shen Minghui smiled and asked beside Lu Yu.

Lu Yu frowned and said, “Lei County seems not too far from Shang County. How is it there?”

“The upper county is ruined!” Upon hearing this, Shen Minghui sighed and said, “Half a month ago, when we passed by there, we originally intended to go in. However, outside the city walls, we noticed something was terribly wrong. Later, we secretly sent someone in to investigate a bit, only to find that the city had already been completely overtaken by monsters. The mine had become the monsters’ territory. That’s why we headed in this direction, planning to go and see Qing City. After all, such a large city should offer more development opportunities. Are you heading there too, Mr. Lu?”

“Just passing by,” said Lu Yu. “I’m heading north, but I also want to visit Qin City to see how the situation there differs from Fanggang.”

“That’s great.”

People around Shen Minghui cheered loudly.

If Lu Yu is there to help, the road to Qins City will be much safer.

Along the way, with Lu Yu, Shen Minghui, and others, they even noticed fewer monsters than usual.

Half a month later, they saw the buildings of Qin City.

The wide highway leading into the city was cleaned very thoroughly.

Although there were no vehicles, the number of people entering and leaving the city was countless times greater than that of a city like Fanggang.

These people appeared calm, walking briskly without any sign of tension.

This doesn’t seem like the end of the world; it’s more like life in a modern city.

Lu Yu sensed something amiss, stood outside the city, and halted his steps.

Shen Minghui and the others stopped in their tracks and looked at Lu Yu, asking, “Mr. Lu, what’s wrong?”

Lu Yu looked up at the distant building. It was damaged, but not severely.

Indeed, there were some signs of the end times, but he felt nothing unusual except for the presence of people.

“Nothing, maybe it’s just my imagination.”

Lu Yu shook his head. The moment he stepped into the edge of the city, everything in front of him changed.

In front of his eyes, all the buildings had changed.

Each towering building had become a tall spire constructed from white bones. These bone spires reached dozens of zhang high, their bases connected to the ground and upheld by countless skeletal hands, resembling white-boned towers rising from hell.

Inside the White Bone Pagoda, pairs of beast-like eyes were staring at him.

The sky here turned blood-red.

The streets became paved with white bones, upon which lay dried blood.

There were still people on the street; one by one, the Demonfolk stood on the street with their arms crossed, watching Lu Yu.

Lu Yu took a rough glance and estimated there were at least fifteen of them.

He wanted to retreat, but taking one step back felt like hitting a wall.

“Field!”

Lu Yu looked up at the sky. The blood-red clouds covered at least the entire city. Sunlight piercing through these crimson clouds only made the city appear even redder.

This is such a vast field that it certainly extends beyond just the tertiary level.

Lu Yu tried to activate the transmission but found that it was restricted!

Oh no, he realized he had fallen into a trap.

Shen Minghui and others walked in and were also stunned at first sight.

It feels like one step to heaven, and one step to hell.

“Jiejie!” A demon person stared at Lu Yu and the others who had just entered, laughing weirdly, “What great luck today, so many people coming in at once.”

“Deliver it to the leader, and it will be another great achievement.”

“Tonight, it seems the Colosseum will have another spectacular performance.”

A demon man arrogantly extended one finger toward Lu Yu and the others, beckoning them and saying, “You, if you don’t want to die, follow us now.”

“Why not go?”

Lu Yu stared coldly at the demon and said, “Do you really think you can stop me?”

“Tsk, aren’t you afraid of dying?”

A devilish figure sneered coldly as he examined Lu Yu, his expression shifting slightly upon catching the scent of blood on him. He said, “I’ll give you a chance. If you don’t want to die, follow me now and you might survive a little longer. But if you provoke the demon soldiers, you’ll meet a gruesome end!”

“You are within the territory of the leader; even if you try to escape, there will be nowhere to hide.”

A devilish figure approached Lu Yu, reached out a hand toward his neck, and said, “Hurry up and leave. If the devil soldiers arrive, they could crush you with a single finger.”
