Chapter 449: The Murals

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The receding bug flood reduced the crowd to a state of confusion. But the most shocked of all was still the leader of the Pledge...

Earlier, he had been trying to incite everyone to advance when they were mired in hesitation. In any case, how could he find the chance to deal Lu Shu a fatal blow when the situation was not messy enough?

However, Lu Shu’s bloody response was totally unexpected!

Why would he run? It did not make any sense!

We are only here to help get rid of the bugs, so shouldn’t you be grateful? Why did you lead them away? So counterintuitive!

Lu Shu thought in his heart, haha, actually, it was rather intuitive.

Why would he let anybody stop him from becoming stronger? His divine water was experiencing a rapid and healthy growth!

Plus, it was not easy to find such a perfect opportunity! Now, he could groom it well without spending a fortune on the purchase of magical weapons. Why would he let the chance slip through his fingers?

No way!

The Pledge expert said, “He must be worried about our personal safety. But that gives us even more reasons to assist him!”

Puzzled, individual Practitioners looked at one another. “Then what should we do?”

“Catch up and help him kill the bugs!” the expert replied in a firm voice.

Then, he took the lead, followed by the rest. No one expected they would be chasing a wave of bugs in the remains. historical

The Pledge expert was fast. When he drew near, he shouted at Lu Shu across the sea of bugs, “Don’t run! We are here to help!”

Lu Shu yelled back coldly, “You are ill-intentioned!”

The Pledge expert, “...”

Was his plan exposed? Otherwise, it could not be explained! But the more he thought, the more confused he got. How did the person find out about his hidden agenda? Huh?!

“From Caiden Davies’ distress, +499!”

To everyone’s surprise, Lu Shu suddenly slowed down. Just when the rest was confused whether he had changed his mind, they realized that he was only waiting for the bugs!

This was mental!

As a matter of fact, Lu Shu himself was well aware that it was impossible to claim ownership of the entire wave of bugs. First of all, they could be easily caught by other pros from behind given the bugs’ slow speed. Secondly, his divine water would take too long to consume the whole bug flood.

Furthermore, the visible increase in the size of the water would certainly arouse suspicion in onlookers. Those big organizations were not stupid, and certainly they would not stay put and let him gain powers on his own!

The terrific nature of Earl’s mythical item was well-known. Even a single drop would cause much of a headache to opponents of the same level. But now, in Lu Shu’s hands, the divine water was already large enough to encircle his rivals!

In addition to magical weapons, it could now engulf humans!

Thus, it was a matter of when, not if, the experts would interfere. Currently, Lu Shu could only seize this opportunity and digest as many beetles as he could.

At that moment, the Pledge expert was pleasantly surprised to see Li Yixiao too far away from Lu Shu to be of any useful help. Not a bad opportunity, he thought to himself calmly, gauging the distance between Li Yixiao and himself. He could easily run away after taking Lu Shu down at lightning speed!

In a split second, he started to accelerate from behind. If everything went according to his plan, he would pierce through the bug flood like a sharp sword, aiming directly at Lu Shu!

Yet, at this very moment, Lu Shu took action. The gigantic ball of divine water suddenly spread out into a flat surface, folding its edges to trap a large swarm of bugs inside like stuffing fillings into a giant pie.

Then, Lu Shu quickly ran away with the lump. He looked like Santa Claus with a giant golden sack behind his back...

This time, his escape was way too fast, and very decisive as well. As a result, Caiden replaced Lu Shu to become the man nearest to the bug flood!

Those beetles lacked consciousness, and they would prioritize creatures closest to them as their targets. In terms of combat awareness, they were very different from the gargoyles.

Hence, once Lu Shu was gone, the entire group of bugs swerved back towards Caiden and those Practitioners behind!

Bloody hell... They were totally caught off guard!

“From Caiden Davies’ distress, +999!”

Other than him, those Practitioners were scared too. Suddenly they became the front-line warriors before they were even ready!

Therefore, those individual Practitioners immediately took to their heels when Caiden was still fighting his way out of the swarms. Screw those heroic dreams and enthusiasm! How could a hero be such a joker?!

In the meantime, Lu Shu dashed downstream while the bugs dragged along were being corroded by his water.

His greed stemmed from years of poverty. Following the same veins, people who used to be starved in their childhood may feel more insecure about food even after they got rich later on.

But Lu Shu was not the kind of person who would risk his life for money. He knew his limits.

Thus, the Pledge expert’s hasty approach had already sent a warning signal to him. It was no secret that he had inconvenienced members of the Pledge. So, something must be wrong with that Pledge expert’s “kind-hearted” offer of help!

Conclusion, it was time to run!

His divine water had expanded more than double this time. It was his greatest takeaway in this remains!

After a while of running, Lu Shu’s attention was suddenly arrested by something on the walls. There were words there!

Lu Shu had put away most of his divine water, since few beetles were left. Holding a few drops in his hands for lighting purposes, Lu Shu leaned closer to the stone wall for a better look. But he was immediately alarmed by what he saw. It was not words, but... a down-pointing arrow.

Others might have ignored the marking as they had been fooled by too many random symbols like this thanks to Lu Shu.

But this arrow, blended in perfectly with the coarse stone wall, was not his work!

What was it?!

Lu Shu took a deep breath to calm himself down before his eyes followed the arrow down to the ground. Xiaoyu was here.

Lu Shu, “???”
