Chapter 54: Fire Snake

Rebirth of the Fire Dragon:

Level: 1 (Each upgrade increases the level by one, with the maximum level being nine.)

Attributes: Increases maximum life by 9,999 points! Increases physical strength by 9,999 points!

Special Effects:

When life points drop below 100, automatically restore all life points to the maximum limit, heal all wounds, and trigger a firestorm. The firestorm will continuously explode within a ten-meter radius, with each affected target sustaining up to five explosion hits. Each hit deals damage equal to the attacker’s own attack power. This ability can be triggered once every 24 hours.

Special Effects:

First-degree Fire Dragon Regeneration consumes ten Star Spirit Pearls to restore 500 life points and randomly heals 30% of the wounds on the body. This ability can be used once every five minutes.

Lu Yu really wished he wasn’t a good person.

This damn thing, being a good person costs too much.

Whoever gets this skill will immediately become an expert.

Two skills, one of which is equivalent to an active recovery-type skill.

Another skill that is completely immortal, even more dominant than the Blood Demon Bear’s Life Rage!

He believed that if he wasn’t a good person, he could have both skills and pretty girls!

“If there’s one, there must be a second,” Lu Yu said, trying to calm his gloomy mood as he looked at Xiaoxiao. “The monster you encountered there, is there another one exactly like it?”

Lu Yu looked at Xiaoxiao, and his heart began to race.

If that’s really the case, he still has a chance.

“There are some!”

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, “I saw there were two of them. I got the chance when one of them left alone to hunt.”

Facing Lu Yu, Xiao Xiao still showed a side of innocence.

Because Lu Yu had saved her life, eliminated the villains, and supported her when she needed help the most.

Even a skill like Dragon’s Rebirth can be abandoned.

Xiaoxiao believed that the older brother was a good person, the best one he had met apart from his father and mother.

She chose to believe in and trust Lu Yu.

Although Lu Yu could sometimes be cold, she had不知不觉地 come to regard him as her closest person.

“Another one?” Lu Yu’s eyes sparkled with excitement. He jumped up and said, “Take me there.”

Xiao nodded.

Then he put the Spirit Star Pearl into his small backpack and walked ahead with it on his back.

Lu Yu found that Xiao Xiao was leading the way to the outskirts of the western part of the city.

By this time, it was already dark night, and the road leading to the outskirts had become anything but peaceful.

Along the way, Lu Yu and Xiao Xiao fought their way through almost like warriors.

Although Xiao Xiao is young, she now has ten Star Spirit Stones and Star Soldiers given by Lu Yu, along with the skills she has developed.

When it comes to fighting, she’s definitely no weaker than men.

It was a tough fight, though.

Especially since Lu Yu also needed to protect Xiao Xiao, even with over 2000 attack power and over 2000 defense, he would still get injured if surrounded by Black Magic Wolves.

But in order to regenerate the fire dragon, I’ll endure it!

The number of monsters finally began to decrease after exiting the city through a major road on the western side.

“Eighty-six Black Demon Wolves, only fourteen more to go.” Lu Yu calculated in his mind, getting closer to activating the level one special effect.

“It’s just ahead a little way,” Xiao Xiao pointed toward a glowing red light in the distance, surprised. “That’s strange. The first time I came here, the light was very faint.”

“You’ll know gradually as time goes by.”

Lu Yu signaled Xiaoxiao to be quiet and not to startle the monster.

His heart leaped to his throat; he was genuinely a bit worried.

He is no longer worried about being unable to defeat the monster, but rather about the monster fleeing.

The fire dragon is reborn!

Thinking about this skill made Lu Yu’s heart race intensely.

Drawing closer, the waves of heat felt as if the very air was about to ignite, scorching the lungs with every breath. The grass surrounding the area had already withered, as if drained of all moisture, crumbling into bits of hay at the slightest touch.

Xiao Xiao grabbed Lu Yu’s hand and gestured gently, indicating that it hadn’t been this hot here before.

“There’s no way I’m so unlucky that I run into adult monsters wherever I go,” Lu Yu thought, his heart nearly freezing with dread.

Among the withered grass, Lu Yu saw the monster that Xiao Xiao was pointing at.

Then Xiao Xiao gestured a length of about one foot and pointed at the monster.

“Yeah, it used to be one chi long, now it’s two meters long,” Lu Yu said, looking at the location of the flames. The ground within a radius of over ten meters there was charred and blackened, as if scorched by fire, with the stones glowing red like molten lava.

A crimson snake, two meters long, coiled in the center.

On the snake’s body, crimson flames danced once more.

The snake raised its head, spewing a column of fire that reduced the corpse of a nearby demon ape to charred ashes.

Then the snake’s mouth opened, and a suction force drew the ashes into its mouth. Only then did it lower its head contentedly, remaining motionless like a hibernating creature.

Lu Yu witnessed the entire process and felt a surge of helplessness.

The demon ape’s body turned to ashes the moment the flames reached it.

Lu Yu knew there was no hope.

I reckon I’d turn to ashes before even getting close.

Xiaoxiao pointed at the fire snake, lowered her head helplessly, and felt somewhat embarrassed.

Lu Yu signaled to Xiaoxiao that the two of them could leave.

Who could have imagined that within just one or two days, a small snake would grow to be two meters long.

Lu Yu stared不甘心ly in the direction of Huo She, gritting his teeth and muttering, “I’ll remember you. One day, I’ll come back and settle the score with you.”

“Big Brother, I’m really sorry,” Xiaoxiao said, lowering her head in embarrassment. “I really didn’t expect that snake to grow so quickly.”

“It’s not your fault,” Lu Yu said, patting Xiaoxiao on the shoulder. “If anyone, it’s my fault. If I had known earlier, maybe there would still have been a chance.”

A creature that even feeds on魔人猿, along with those flames, he felt like he had no chance right now.

“At least, I know what skills this monster has,” Lu Yu smiled. “One day, I will come back.”

“I will definitely help my big brother kill this snake when the time comes.”

“This way of growing up, only heaven knows what he will be like in the future,” Lu Yu said, shaking his head in sigh, as he and Xiaoxiao hurried back toward the mine.

If everything goes as expected, once the sky brightens, Liu Heng will likely make his move.

Not long after entering the city, Lu Yu and Xiaoxiao were stopped by a group of people.

The leader stared at Lu Yu coldly and said, “Mr. Lu, I’m sorry. Something big is about to happen in Fanggang, so we hope you can stay here for the time being and don’t move around.”

“Oh,” Lu Yu looked at the more than twenty people across from him and smiled, saying, “What’s the big deal happening?”

“This, you’ll naturally understand once it’s over,” one person said lightly with a smile. “Mr. Lu, we’re showing you respect by stopping you here to give you a warning. In Fangang, aside from Heiye (Black爷), you’re the one I admire most. However, this time you really cannot go further; it’s better if you don’t proceed.”

The man said he admired the other person, but his expression, tone, and demeanor showed not the slightest respect.

Because they knew that after today, the dynamics of this city were about to change.

At that time, Lu Yu would lose his greatest advantage.

“Is that so?” Lu Yu glanced at the group of twenty-odd people and said, “Since you all know about Black Master, you should also know what I’m capable of. Step aside now, and I’ll pretend nothing ever happened. However, if you continue to block my way, I’ll turn you into a corpse in the next second.”

Lu Yu knew that Zhou Zhen was telling the truth; these people were indeed planning to attack the mine.

Stopping him here is also a precaution in case he decides to go help.

The expressions of the twenty-odd people changed slightly, with a few of them showing hesitation.

Among the underworld factions in Fanggang, only this person was capable of challenging Black Master. They had heard, to some extent, about the methods this individual employed.

If you keep blocking like this, this person will really attack.

“What are you afraid of? There are more than twenty of us. We can surely stop him.” One person said. Seeing the star soldier in Xiaoxiao’s hand, his eyes gleamed with greed: “Look at that little girl, she actually has a star soldier too.”

Someone impatiently said, “Damn it, why block us? Anyway, once they capture that place, this Lu fellow will be finished too. He’s definitely hiding a Star Spirit Stone on him.”

“Right, just do it! What are we waiting for!” Many people became eager and agreed one after another.

Lu Yu’s expression turned cold. He suddenly stepped forward fiercely, his voice a snarl: “You’re asking for death!”

After taking one step, Lu Yu lunged forward.

“It must be stopped!” someone shouted from the crowd.

Xiao Xiao’s small hand gripped the Star Soldier, and her expression became determined.

It wasn’t quite dawn yet, but nearly.

He must rush back to transform the remaining Star Spirit Stones into defensive towers before Liu Heng and others launch their attack.

These people seemed to know Lu Yu’s strength and, as Lu Yu charged forward, they scattered in all directions, attempting to surround and trap him first.

The moment they surrounded Lu Yu, they began to close in, reducing the distance. As the encirclement tightened, the gaps became fewer, and their opportunities to attack increased.

Bang!

At least thirty Star Spirit Beads exploded simultaneously on Lu Yu’s body.

Thirty wolf shadows charged out simultaneously, lunging at the attackers surrounding from all directions.

“My goodness, this is an attack skill!”

“Lu Yu actually has attack skills!”

These people were standing very close, and when the shadow of the wolf lunged out, they had no chance to dodge.

Thirty shadows of wolves, resembling the impact of real Black Demon Wolves, collided with the human figures. As they tore away large chunks of flesh with their bites, they also inflicted grievous injuries.

Only two or three people managed to escape the attack.

They saw their companion’s body, blood spraying like a crimson mist from the wound, rising into the air as if burning.

Twenty-six people, and in an instant, twenty-three of them were instantly killed.

“Run!”

The three of them instinctively scrambled to their feet and ran.

Lu Yu, who possesses offensive skills, already has the ability to take their lives.

“Want to leave?”

Lu Yu sneered coldly, “I’ve said it before, if you block me again, I’ll turn you all into corpses.”

As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, Xiaoxiao had already appeared in front of someone, her star blade piercing through the opponent’s heart without the slightest hesitation.

The remaining two had already lost their courage in fear, and at this moment, they ran even faster.

But again, two wolf-like shadows surged out from Lu Yu’s body, colliding with the two men. One man’s head was bitten off by the shadow wolf, while the other, after a brief moment of dizziness lasting just 0.1 seconds, saw Lu Yu’s hand pierce through his heart.

“Twenty-six people, all dead in three seconds.” The man looked at his heart, refusing to believe until his last breath that he could die so quickly.
