The street was quiet.
Dozens of people looked at Lu Yu, each unconsciously taking steps backward.
It happened quickly, and ended even faster!
From the moment they surrounded him to the moment the young man struck, there was barely any conversation.
Many people still thought it would take some time to negotiate.
At the very least, the young man would eventually show fear or compromise.
A single gunshot changed everything.
The young man’s ruthless actions made the few people present who had experienced the underworld suck in cold breaths.
Describing him in one word—ruthless!
Many people are still in a daze, unable to believe the outcome even now!
“How could this happen? How could this happen!” someone refused to believe the outcome.
“How could Brother Yang die?”
“Even Officer Lin would need dozens of moves to defeat Yang Ge. But Officer Lin is a fifth-degree black belt and a top Sanda martial artist in the province.”
Nobody believes it.
They had personally witnessed the great Han killing a demon ape with his bare hands.
They had also witnessed with their own eyes how the gunman instantly killed two magic apes with just three bullets.
Working together, the two of them could at least take down three, perhaps even four, demonic apes!
However, even working together, the two of them couldn’t manage to kill a single person, and instead ended up losing one of their own.
This person’s health points are definitely over 400, and their stamina is also definitely above 200.
“Who… who exactly are you?” someone asked, their voice trembling with a mixture of awe and humility.
This kind of skill cannot be mastered in just one or two days; it is a process that accumulates over time.
Especially the decisiveness at the moment of killing, that more closely resembled a criminal holding lives in his hands.
A person like this, so young, couldn’t possibly be unknown in Fanggang!
“You’re going to attack?” Lu Yu asked, retracting his silver blade and slinging the stone club over his shoulder.
Dozens of people shook their heads desperately.
They figured it out. They still had a chance to kill the魔猿 without anyone dying.
To kill this person, it’s certain that one or two people will have to die.
But no one wants to be that one or two.
Who wouldn’t want to live?
“Since that’s the case, I’ll be on my way then. I hope next time such an incident won’t happen again,” said Lu Yu, signaling the six magic apes to pick up the ore from the ground before leading the way forward.
Dozens of people watched in silence as Lu Yu and the魔猿 departed, but no one responded.
The gunman on the rooftop watched Lu Yu leave, his hand gripping the gun now drenched in sweat. His lips trembled slightly as he muttered, “He didn’t die either. This Fanggang is getting interesting.”
On the ground, dozens of people didn’t relax until Lu Yu’s back figure disappeared. Someone turned to the person beside him and said, “Brother Wang, you’re also involved in the underworld. You should have met this guy before, right?”
Someone agreed, saying, “Yeah, how come we’ve never seen this person before? Yang Ge isn’t some unknown small figure in Fanggang either. Someone whom even Black Master wanted to recruit—how could he end up dying so tragically?”
Someone has already figured it out.
Even without a stone club in his hand, this young man could snap a strong man’s neck barehanded.
This is the gap in strength.
For example, Brother Yang has at most injured someone. But this young man has actually killed people, and not just one.
The man known as Brother Wang shook his head and said, “I really don’t remember this person. He must be an outsider who accidentally got caught up in this.”
A group of people thought about Lu Yu’s ruthless act of killing just now, and couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.
At this moment, they had absolutely no mood to continue with patrols or anything similar.
It seems this dramatic upheaval accidentally left a dragon behind in Fanggang!
Dozens of people carried a corpse and retreated toward the northern part of the city.
At the same time, six demonic apes brought Lu Yu into an abandoned small supermarket.
After the six demon apes entered, they awakened the five other demon apes that were still crouching inside.
Five demonic apes caught the scent of a human and immediately leaped up, rushing toward Lu Yu.
After a demon ape let out a series of guttural roars that Lu Yu couldn’t understand, the five demon apes immediately trembled and knelt on the ground, touching their foreheads to the earth, shaking incessantly.
“Bring out all the items that belonged to the former leader,” Lu Yu commanded the eleven magic apes.
His heart was racing, and his palms began to sweat.
Lu Yu is now somewhat excited.
Not long ago, he was still fighting desperately to kill a demon ape, sustaining severe injuries and nearly dying. Yet now, he can command no less than eleven demon apes.
If this had happened a few days ago, even he himself wouldn’t have believed it!
The demon apes, upon hearing the command, began searching in the innermost corner and retrieved three Star Spirit Stones. Then, they respectfully presented them to Lu Yu with both hands.
Lu Yu took the starling stone from the magic ape, and more sweat began to seep from his palm.
Three Star Spirit Stones, and he could upgrade the Wolf Demon Rod to its maximum level!
Alternatively, he should prioritize upgrading the Blood Shield to its maximum level.
“Yeah, upgrade the Blood Shield,” Lu Yu murmured to himself.
Star soldiers may fall or be unable to use their abilities, but their skills will definitely be used.
However, for Lu Yu, the effects of the killing promotion had already manifested themselves during the first upgrade.
That additional enhancement granted the Blood Shield an extra skill attribute, equivalent to having the skill upgraded once right from the start at level one.
At maximum level for a Tier 1 skill, the improvement is only fifty points. Even by leveling up the skill, it’s nearly impossible to raise the skill’s attributes to their maximum potential.
Even with an upgrade, at best one might gain thirty or forty attribute points, if lucky.
Therefore, each additional enhancement through slaughter is equivalent to a complete level-up.
A skill like Blood Shield, which can be upgraded three times, combined with the three additional enhancements from Kill Promotion, amounts to a total of six upgrades.
Don’t forget, there’s also an additional boost when you first obtain it, which is another enhancement equivalent to an upgrade.
Other people’s skills can be upgraded three times, but his is equivalent to being upgraded seven times. That’s more than double the effect. With such an ability, you say it’s not good—then when will you ever use it?
Another magic ape held a silver light sphere the size of a palm in its hands and approached Lu Yu, respectfully raising it above its head.
“Soldier’s Soul?” Lu Yu looked at the魔猿 in surprise.
“This was obtained by the former leader during a territorial battle, when he killed another wolf demon,” explained the demon ape.
Lu Yu took over the martial soul, which was a circular halo, its original weapon undistinguishable.
“Smash all of this and see what comes out?” Lu Yu instructed the魔猿 to act while putting away the soldier’s soul.
The eleven monstrous apes sprang into action at the sound of the command.
A total of thirty-seven Star Sprites stones, yet only two Star Sprites stones were actually obtained.
“The probability is too low,” Lu Yu frowned. He had expected to get seven or eight Star Spirit Stones.
Then upgrade both the Wolf Demon Club and the Blood Shield. At first glance, it seems like there’s only enough to fully upgrade one of them.
“It’s always been like this,” said a magic ape. “Sometimes, even after spending sixty or seventy pieces, you still don’t get one.”
“What are the chances of that happening?”
The魔猿replied, “Well, it really depends on the quality of the ore. Sometimes, in areas where the ore is more concentrated, seven or eight out of ten pieces will yield good results.”
“I understand now,” Lu Yu nodded, indicating that it was the same with gold and silver mines. A single piece of ore might not yield even a few grams of gold, perhaps not even half a gram.
“Eat, food…” said a newly awakened magic ape cautiously from the side, looking at Lu Yu with longing eyes.
Lu Yu had already become their leader, so he was responsible for resolving their biggest problem.
“What’s going on here?” Lu Yu frowned, pointing at the magical ape.
The magical ape that had spoken first hastily explained.
The魔猿’s digestion is very fast. Once it wakes up, the consumption becomes even faster.
Especially when they start moving, their daily food intake is at least ten jin of flesh and blood.
Similarly, they feel nothing for some small pieces of food. Things like that are too small to eat and won’t fill them up.
They are most favored by creatures like Langmo and his kind, as well as humans.
Especially enjoys eating the brains of its own kind. When hungry, it will even eat others of its species.
“A bunch of starving ghosts,” Lu Yu muttered, instantly feeling a headache coming on. He understood now—controlling these creatures required first solving their food problem.
“From today on, your task is to collect star spirit stones for me. As for food, I will take care of it; you are not allowed to eat humans anymore,” Lu Yu commanded. Then he directed the eleven apes to begin sleeping in order to conserve energy.
From today on, these eleven demon apes will stay inside and won’t come out anymore.
Their mission was to mine and become true miners.
The eleven monstrous apes heard the command and began to fall asleep again.
Because during the day they go out, they could become prey for humans.
Lu Yu had finally managed to control these demon apes, but he certainly didn’t want them to go out and get themselves killed.
At night, it’s their domain; these demon apes would have no problem heading to the mine.
As for this period of time, Lu Yu decided to first take care of some food for these magical apes.
Leave this small supermarket.
Lu Yu first returned to his camp and tidied up his clothes.
Then, before preparing to leave, he decided to upgrade his skills first.
Lu Yu took out five Star Spirit Stones, one Soldier Soul, and one Mutated Star Spirit Pearl.
First, use the Mutated Star Spirit Pearl, followed by the War Soul.
Lu Yu’s plan was to upgrade his skills once the Star Spirit Pearl’s abilities became stronger.
If the Star Soldiers obtained are stronger, upgrade them.
Heaven knows whether these demon apes will go berserk tonight. So, may the heavens protect me, and grant me a good skill this time.
Lu Yu murmured to himself, trying to stay calm, but his heart was still pounding quite intensely.
He had finally managed to see the light at the end of the tunnel. With the Star Soul Stone mine almost within his grasp, being devoured by the魔猿 at this point would make him the unluckiest person in this world.
Lu Yu clenched his teeth and hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to crush it.
What skills does the Wolf Demon really have? It all depends on whether you have the ability to obtain them.
The same change as last time. Something in Lu Yu’s brain was breaking down and then reorganizing.
Countless symbols flickered before Lu Yu’s eyes, forming lines of text.
“This, this can’t be true, right?” Lu Yu looked at the words in front of him, his heart instantly tightening.
He was more convinced that he had misread it.
Give him such skills?
Lu Yu’s first reaction was that this couldn’t be true!
He tends to believe that this might be an illusion.
However, deep down, he was more willing to believe that it was true.
Lu Yu took a deep breath and carefully reread the skills and instructions from beginning to end. He was certain now—it was real.
“Such skills too? This, how is this any different from cheating?”
After reading it, Lu Yu took a deep breath, and once he confirmed that it was real this time, he began to calm himself down.
This skill is somewhat abnormal. Oh no, I mean it’s somewhat excessive.
The name of the skill – Eye of Truth!
“Damn it, this is what I call getting rich, this skill is truly making it.” Lu Yu burst into laughter, his smile a bit foolish.
