Before obtaining the Star Spirit Stone, Lu Yu had thought that he would even be willing to exchange several Star Spirit Gems for just one Star Spirit Stone.
But when he was in dire need of star spirit stones, instead of giving him just one, they gave him an entire mine!
This isn’t a case of a pie falling from the sky, but rather a mountain of gold continuously crashing down.
How could his heart possibly remain calm!
If a magic ape appeared more than dozens of meters away, its heartbeat would certainly be audible.
Lu Yu could no longer control some of his basic movements. He could only strive to calm his racing heart and force his muscles, which had been trembling uncontrollably, to relax and settle down.
Lu Yu has always been very good at controlling his emotions.
Sometimes, however, this control becomes powerless in the face of intense emotional fluctuations.
What was previously considered the biggest problem suddenly became the least of his concerns, leaving him unsure of how to proceed.
When Lu Yu finally managed to regain control of his emotions, he saw two more demon apes approaching from a nearby street.
Then, they climbed up the stone mountain and knocked down a piece of rock.
Unfortunately, no Star Spirit Stones were produced this time.
The two magical apes let out a few annoyed cries before jumping down from the stone mountain and leaving.
Lu Yu originally intended to take action.
However, after thinking for a moment, he gave up the idea of taking action.
Within less than thirty minutes, another wave of demon apes appeared here. They struck a stone, but after finding nothing, they left in frustration.
Lu Yu successively saw several more groups, which made him frown involuntarily.
It seems that many magic apes in this city are coming here to search for star crystals.
If you want to keep control of this mine, it’s not as easy as you might imagine.
He glanced at the sky, then picked up some leftover food at a nearby supermarket, and headed to the office building where he was staying.
At this time, there were still two hours before dark, making it the earliest he had ever returned.
On his way, he noticed more than a dozen burly men binding two slightly overweight middle-aged individuals as they walked out of a building. The two middle-aged men were crying bitterly, as if their parents had just died.
“F*** your mother, shut up!” a burly man roared furiously, “If you’ve attracted the demon ape, I’ll carve up all your fat and feed it to the demon ape right now.”
As Da Han roared in anger, two knives were immediately placed against the necks of the slightly overweight middle-aged men.
The two middle-aged men immediately closed their mouths, their faces filled with despair.
“Now that’s more like it,” another burly man chuckled. “Go back and see Hei Ye now. If Hei Ye thinks you’re useful, he might just let you live.”
Lu Yu glanced indifferently at the group and continued walking forward with his head down.
When the other party saw Lu Yu, their expression subtly changed, and they, too, acted as if they didn’t recognize him, escorting the two individuals away in the opposite direction.
This is the bait.
Using live humans to lure out the demon apes in dark places, such as basements or sewers. Make deep cuts on the person’s body; the fresh scent of blood can stimulate the demon ape’s appetite. Then throw the person inside; those who don’t want to die will run out alive, naturally luring the demon ape out as well.
As for “Black Master,” he is also called “Old Black” in Fanggang!
This is a legendary figure in the underworld, with a dark hand and a black heart.
Some say that Laohei’s fists can shatter stones.
No one has ever seen that. But some people have seen Old Hei’s fist capable of cracking a human skull with just one punch.
One of the hardest bones in the human body is the skull. If a punch can crack even the skull, the power behind such a fist speaks for itself.
Moreover, Lao He has been in Fanggang for at least nearly twenty years.
Yet the fact that no one has ever dared to lay a hand on Old Hei speaks volumes about how ruthless this person truly is.
Under Old Hei’s command were dozens of desperadoes, some of whom were even wanted fugitives with murder charges or other serious crimes on their heads.
People like him are actually more suited to survive in this era.
Brutal and dark, that’s what this world deserves.
…
Lu Yu walked past these burly men as if ignoring each other. After crossing two streets, he made his way back to the top floor of the office building.
That group of students has already left.
Lu Yu was once again left alone here, which made him feel much more at peace.
He ate a little food, took a brief rest, and then took out the three Star Spirit Pearls.
This time, luck wasn’t on my side, and there was no Mutated Star Spirit Pearl.
Shatter the three Star Spirits’ pearls together. Streams of faint electric currents merge into one and surge into the forehead.
Through the decomposition in that special area of the brain, it flows into the heart.
The Killing Star Soul felt that faint trace of energy and began to pulsate gently once again.
This time, the Star Soul did not flutter like it did last time.
After absorbing the energy from three Star Spirit Beads, the Murder Star Soul slowly pulsed twice before suddenly beginning to beat rapidly.
The heartbeat of the Star Soul grew faster and stronger, gradually synchronizing with the rhythm of the heart.
With the pulsation of the star soul, a tiny star soul emitted a delicate black thread extending from it.
This thin black line was as delicate as a tiny hair on the star soul, and compared to this minuscule star soul, even that delicate hair appeared pathetically small.
However, at the very moment this tiny strand of down appeared, Lu Yu felt a powerful electric current shoot straight through his flesh and bones.
“Hiss.” Lu Yu inhaled sharply, his entire body shivering slightly from the electric current coursing through him.
Electric current surged from the muscles into every single cell of the body, as if injecting new energy into each cell.
Before Lu Yu’s eyes, the blue symbols began to rearrange themselves, forming new text.
“Congratulations, your base data has been upgraded. Base data – Lu Yu: Ordinary Human. Maximum Life: 250 points. Attack Power: 150 points. Physical Constitution: 150 points.”
“Congratulations, the battle has activated the Killing Star Soul. You are still 85% progress away from leveling up the Killing Star Soul to level one. Keep up the good work!”
Lu Yu looked at the flickering text in front of him and felt relieved.
“Finally got the Killing Star Soul moving.” Lu Yu smiled.
If calculated according to the first-level skill standard, this improvement had perfectly increased his maximum vitality by fifty points, while his attack power and stamina had also risen by forty points each, nearly reaching the maximum level.
This is equivalent to an upgrade.
Lu Yu was very satisfied with this.
As the sun set in the west, there was less than an hour remaining before nightfall.
At the far end of the western horizon, countless streaks of crimson clouds spread across the sky.
The earth also began to sink into darkness.
However, what Lu Yu didn’t expect was that, with still an hour left before nightfall, he could already hear the beasts’ roars from outside.
The demon ape emerged earlier than expected.
“This isn’t a good thing,” Lu Yu’s face turned slightly pale.
This means that the time available for activities during the day has been shortened.
Lu Yu walked to the window and saw a large group of demonic apes emerging onto the street below. Having starved all day, they began feasting on the corpses lying in the streets, and the heartbreaking sound of gnawing echoed everywhere.
“It seems I need to hurry up,” Lu Yu murmured to himself.
If the demon apes start moving around during the day as well, it won’t be something we can simply avoid anymore.
At that time, surviving would require even greater strength.
As for the warrior soul and the Star Spirit Stone obtained today during the daytime, their timing of acquisition was truly excellent.
With the Star Soldiers, the guarantee of survival has increased once again.
Following what was recorded in his memory, Lu Yu took out the Soldier’s Soul and the Star Spirit Stone, and slowly moved closer.
He could have used the Star Soul Stone for his skills. But Lu Yu was more eager to see what the Star Soldiers were really like.
Moreover, if you’re lucky enough, powerful star soldiers can have even better attribute improvements than skills.
The shadow of the silver blade was completely absorbed into the Star Spirit Stone.
Lu Yu placed the Star Spirit Stone on the ground. He then saw the starlight on the stone gradually fade away, and the entire stone began to merge. The black color of the Star Spirit Stone also started to change gradually.
From black to red, from red to white, and from white to silver!
“What kind of star soldier would that be!”
Lu Yu looked at the Star Spirit Stone with some nervousness.
When the entire piece of Star Soul Stone turned silver, it began to melt like water. Then it stretched out, as if a piece of steel being forged, gradually taking the shape of a weapon.
First the hilt, then the blade, and finally the edge.
A faint silver glow shimmered on the blade, flowing like water ripples, extremely beautiful.
After the silver blade was completely formed, the silvery light on the blade became even brighter.
The blade is three chi long, slightly curved at the tip, with a half chi long handle. The entire knife is silver in color, as if forged from a single piece of metal. The seamless integration of the blade and handle resembles a work of art!
Lu Yu gripped the knife in his hand; the handle fit comfortably in his palm. Although it felt somewhat heavy, when he swung it, the motion was as fluid as flowing water.
As the blade cuts through the air, you can almost feel the air parting as if it were being sliced open.
In front of his eyes, words began to emerge, rows of text flickering, displaying the data of the silver sword.
…
Silver Blade:
Grade: One (can be upgraded twice)
Restriction: Can only be used when the base attack power reaches 135 points.
Ability: Increases attack power by 100 points and maximum health by 50 points.
Special Ability: When attacking, there is a certain chance to trigger a critical hit, dealing double damage.
…
There are limitations to the use of Star Soldiers, but those restrictions no longer apply to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu held the silver ruler and kept looking at it over and over again.
The attributes of the Silver Blade are excellent, really excellent!
This increases attack power by 100 points and also increases maximum life by 50 points.
If calculated based on the basic attributes of a level-one skill upgrade, the attack power increase isn’t just reaching the maximum value—it’s double that amount.
This is equivalent to upgrading the skill twice.
There’s also the final special ability that has a certain chance to trigger double damage.
With the addition of a hundred points of attack power from Silver Blade, if the strike lands accurately enough, he can now instantly kill the魔猿 (demon ape)!
The sky grew darker, and the howls of the demon apes outside became sharper.
This time, however, screams were coming from all corners of the city, with many more people crying out in agony.
“It finally came to this. A bunch of idiots, all they know is hiding. If everyone had come out to hunt the demon apes, would there really be this many demon apes in the city?” Lu Yu glanced outside, his heart tightening further. Although he was being sarcastic, it didn’t mean he failed to understand the seriousness of their current situation.
On the first night, after many people died, even more chose to hide at home.
They thought the upper floor was safe.
However, Lu Yu could tell that the demon apes were nothing more than beasts driven solely by the need for food.
Moreover, they are picky eaters and even consume bones.
The well-fed magic ape is very lazy.
A hungry magic ape can be very brutal.
After the dead bodies on the streets have been consumed, these demon apes will certainly begin searching for food.
Therefore, wise people will find ways to enhance their strength during this period in order to avoid and confront the demon ape. Only the weak and cowardly choose to flee.
Now that the corpses on the streets have been devoured, it’s the turn of the living people inside these buildings.
