“Where’s this place?!”
“What should we do now?”
Upon entering the remains, what hit Lu Shu before he even opened his eyes were the clamour made by people around him. It seemed like all the students of the Daoyuan Cla.s.s were at a complete loss inside the remains.
In actual fact, the Heavenly Network had given them ample reminders to take note of, such as preserving supplies and taking safety precautions. However, it did not provide them with the direction to stay or move, for every remains is a mystery to even the Heavenly Network before it was truly entered.
All these were actually pretty interesting to Lu Shu. The last time he was here, he was alone and had to walk a long distance before meeting people. This time was better, he could be with the Daoyuan Cla.s.s students of Qingzhou for the whole way.
Lu Shu pondered whether to leave the big group right now or tag along and see what’s in store for them first.
In the end, he decided to stay with the rest.
This is a new remains after all. Jiang Shuyi also told him once that every remains is different and so are the capabilities of the organisms within. Taking for example the remains opened in Laos, they paled in comparison to that of the Beimang remains. There was not even one organism worthy of being labelled B-cla.s.s encountered in the remains.
Some have guessed that perhaps the organisms in the remains were determined by the process of revival of the magical energy tide.
This would mean that this remains may be more difficult than the one before.
If it was really of similar degree as the Beimang remains, Lu Shu felt that with his capabilities now, he would be badly wounded if not killed. As long as they did not come across the B Cla.s.s ghost general, all should be fine.
However, isn’t it because of not knowing much about this remains?
Lu Shu observed by the side in silence. They were now in a heavily forested wood. Among the shaking branches and thick leaves, visibility was greatly impeded. It was utterly impossible to make out the surroundings.
All of a sudden, a thumb-sized mosquito landed silently on Lu Shu’s neck. It’s long proboscis was just about to pierce his skin.
Ka! The proboscis was broken…
“From the mosquito’s distress, +1+1+1…”
Lu Shu smacked it away gleefully. With this peak Cla.s.s D power, if I am still stung by a mosquito, how shameful would that be…
However, Lu Shu was a little surprised.Have all the mosquitos here become demons? If I spare its life, it can continue contributing to the value of distress…
Even though +1 is a small value, Lu Shu was the kind who knew how to live his days and would never let go of even a +0.1. Perhaps this was the fabled “Even the flesh on a mosquito’s leg is flesh”?!
At this point, including the students of Daoyuan Cla.s.s and Lu Shu, there were a total of 12 people gathered here. A young man emerged from the group. Someone recognized him and called out softly, ” Wei Qianyi, haha, it’s so good to have you with us!”
Lu Shu looked up. Isn’t this Wei Qianyi the person I saw previously at the dining table, surrounded by his fans like bees to honey? Perhaps this is the prodigy endowed with Cla.s.s A qualities?
Wei Qian yi merely nodded, “I am Wei Qianyi, Cla.s.s A potential, my junior Cla.s.s D capability should be the highest among everyone present here. It’s only right for all of us to keep a lookout for one another in the remains, but it isn’t good for us to squabble when it comes to discussion. How about we twelve form a group with me as the group leader?”
Lu Shu nodded. This teenager is pretty clear-headed. He knows how to use his endowment and capabilities to gain an upper hand, on top of possessing a certain organisational talent.
To have someone standing out, Lu Shu was of course happy to paddle along. He immediately stood forward, “All of us agree! Wei Qianyi you shall be the group leader!”
Everyone looked at Lu Shu in surprised. Why on earth did you agree on our behalf??
However, Wei Qianyi was no fool either. Seeing support, he quickly continued, ” We must first choose a way forward. Anyone has any good ideas?”
A cla.s.smate said, “Let’s follow the sun!”
Everyone looked up at the sky, only to see towering trees blocking out the sun, leaving just slivers of sunlight through the leaves. How can one follow the sun like this?
Wei Qianyi shook his head, “We can’t follow the sun…” Suddenly, he turned to Lu Shu, who had supported him just now. Subconsciously, he warmed to him verbally, hoping to draw Lu Shu into his own clique. “Friend, what do you think?”
Lu Shu did not expect this guy to suddenly ask him. Unfortunately, he had not been listening to Wei Qianyi and had been focused on observing the surroundings.
What did they say, following the sun doesn’t work?
Lu Shu gave a deep sigh, “In that case…how about following the moon?”
“From Wei Qianyi’s distress, +199…”
“From Mami Hao’s distress, +199…”
What is this c.r.a.p about following the moon, shall we eradicate you in the name of the moon?
Even the sun cannot be seen, much less the moon?!
Wei Qianyi was slightly disappointed. What he initially thought was a potential ally turned out to be a total idiot…
Lu Shu was not the least bit concerned. However, he did discover that the distress value of this bunch of kids was surprisingly easy to earn. Lu Shu had flipped through the remuneration record and could now be sure that this newly founded team did not contain any spy.
To be honest, he had already thought about this prior to entering the remains. Even though the Heavenly Network of Yuzhou already had its spies hiding within eliminated, nothing had happened in Qingzhou and Lu Shu would not be surprised if there were a few hiding inside.
External forces did not try to openly invade this time, but one could never guarantee no accident could happen. Lu Shu did not have the habit of keeping any spies around.
“How about we first advance in the direction of the hill. Who knows? We may be able to have a clearer picture of the whole terrain at the top. This would be of great help to our future decisions,” Wei Qianyi remarked after pondering for a moment.
His thought process is right. One should first be familiar with the general terrain of this remains.
Lu Shu remarked suddenly, “Why… why don’t we find someone to climb to the treetop first?”
Everybody suddenly had their gaze locked on him. The whole forest went quiet in that instant…
Wei Qianyi had a toothache just now, why did you not say earlier?
“From Wei Qianyi’s distress…”
“Hmm, this friend provided a good suggestion, so…who shall go climb?” Despite it being a question, Wei Qianyi’s eyes were already on Lu Shu.
Everyone turned to gaze at Lu Shu, but he merely feigned nonchalance and looked at another boy beside him. Why are you looking at me, thought the boy sorely.
“Heh heh, this friend here, since you are the one to suggest, how about you go up first?”
“Isn’t it better if all of you go ahead?” Lu Shu glanced up at the thick forest cover. It was impossible to know if there were any funny things hiding within. He chuckled, “What will happen if there’s any danger up there?”
Wei Qianyi, “???”
So, we aren’t afraid of danger?
“From Wei Qianyi…”
“From…”
