In actual fact, everyone understood a point. Dangers were abound in the remains and thus, even something as simple as climbing a tree should best be left for somebody else to do.
This was akin to playing an unknown adventure game. One can step on a b.o.o.by trap and be killed any time, and no one knows where are them.
At this point in time, people would fervently wish for someone to bravely lead the way.
However, the truth is, everyone thought on the same line…
The air was suddenly oppressively still. Trust crisis had already emerged in the newly formed group.
Something inside must be very wrong, Wei Qianyi felt.
Everybody’s expressions were now more severe than the next.
Lu Shu laughed, “Haha, I was just joking, why so serious! I’ll go up. I am definitely not the kind who’s despicable and afraid of death, and hope only for others to take the lead… isn’t that right?”
“From Wei Qianyi’s distress, +117…”
“From…”
Everyone felt a little sore. Why do they feel that this guy is somehow insinuating that they are the ones who are despicable, cowardly and hope only for someone else to take the lead…
Lu Shu started to recall when was the last time he reaped a large value in distress points. It certainly wasn’t when Yuan Liangtuo and Li Dian both tried to strangle each other, but at the previous remains!
Why did Lu Shu always look for opportunities to enter remains? It was exactly because of the wonderful memories from the Beimang remains!
The fleece of my friends back home have almost ran out, how can I survive if I don’t open up more distress points?
As to why did Lu Shu want to climb the tree for a look? He saw the need to observe the surroundings. Facts gleaned from the mouths of others could never be compared to seeing with one’s own eyes.
As for these cla.s.smates, they were happy to steer clear from mistakes and dangers.
But for Lu Shu, he was certainly not here to while his time away when there were so many good things up for grab!
Differing purposes would also mean differences in att.i.tude. The tree had to be climbed no matter what, but it was already Lu Shu’s subconscious habit to earn some distress points at the same time…
How is Xiaoyu now? Despite him always saying that Xiaoyu can easily handle the remains with her capabilities and brain,
how can Lu Shu not worry?
Speaking of which, Little Xiongxu must have already been separated with Lu Xiaoyu. He could only pray that it would not start to run wild. One can no longer rely on it to have the a.s.signments completed. And this forest… sigh, will there be any female squirrels?
Lu Shu took his time to climb the tree. Even though being so talented meant he could be bold, boldness should also come with prudence.
Who the h.e.l.l knows what is hidden among this remains.
Just as he ascended the first fork, a poisonous snake lunged at him like a demon possessed. Lu Shu frowned, even a random snake comes with Cla.s.s E speed?!
One must understand that even the normal skeletons in Beimang remains were only Cla.s.s Fs.
Lu Shu easily grabbed the poisonous snake in his hand and reached into the mouth deftly to pull out its fangs before tossing it down the tree.
The cla.s.smates below screamed in fright at the sight of the snake, especially the five girls among them, who were near hysterical.
“From tri-coloured pit viper’s distress, +1+1+1…”
“From He Yu’s distress…”
“From…”
Lu Shu looked down gleefully. How many birds with one stone was that?
He calculated, even though the distress points that can be earned from these lower life forms are minimal, as long as he sticks to pulling out the proboscises of every mosquitos encountered and the fangs of any snakes met, then release them all, the distress points which can be earned would still be very significant!
At this point in time, the life forms in the remains probably had no clue that such a fearful being had entered…
He continued his climb. Sadly, there was only that one snake.
Lu Shu stepped up onto the topmost fork lightly. The branches were already very thin. He was mildly concerned that they may not be able to take his weight.
However, despite jouncing wildly, the branches were surprisingly strong.
Lu Shu felt that something was not quite right. The branches of the trees here are uncharacteristically st.u.r.dy. How can a normal branch take his weight? One must know that the branches beneath his feet were only two fingers wide!
From the treetop, Lu Shu took in the distant view. “What the heck!”
Everyone below were shocked on hearing his exclamation. “What happened? What did you see?”
“The heck…” Lu Shu remarked, “Why is there so many trees in this forest…”
All the cla.s.smates below were stunned. What is the matter with you?
What nonsense is this? Such a thick forest, what else can there be?
“From Wei Qianyi’s distress, +99…”
“From…”
At this point, n.o.body viewed Lu Shu as a normal person anymore… a normal person would never be so idiotic!
Lu Shu scanned the horizon. The whole world was blanketed by the verdant woods and towering trees covered the mountains.
The remains was still immense. At the very least, Lu Shu could see no end to it. He was feeling the s.h.i.+ft in magical energy of the heaven and earth, trying to use its degree of strength to determine the center of the remains. According to Jiang Shuyi, the degree of strength of a remains increases gradually as one approaches the center.
However, the change in magical energy was too subtle to be felt. More reference points were needed.
In actual fact, the Heavenly Network brought in experts with perceptive systems into the remains this time. With such experts around, substantial time spent finding the center could be saved.
Lu Shu turned back to look at the mountain they were on. Their ridges were hidden among the clouds, which were thinly spread out like the waistband of the mountains. It was like a fairyland.
All of a sudden, Lu Shu felt a shadow over his head and instinctively ducked. A sharp swoosh swept over his head.
Lu Shu looked up and saw a bird never before seen. The colossal bird trying to attack him had a wingspan of over four meters!
Just by looking at the speed of the bird, it was probably of a full Cla.s.s E capabilities. It certainly would be no fun to be injured by the bird’s razor sharp talons.
Lu Shu looked up at the sky. n.o.body would know what happened up here. All of a sudden,the Corpsedog sword shot out from the celestial map, whizzing as it went.
The air rippled with transparent waves as if it was water slashed through by Corpsedog. The giant bird screamed in terror, trying to get out of the way, but its speed was far too slow.
Lu Shu did not kill the bird, but merely injure it at the non-vital parts, before retrieving the Corpsedog.
No benefit comes from killing it, and it would be hard to explain to the cla.s.smates below how was the bird slayed. Compared to killing, distress points seems slightly more practical…
“From the Cloud Falcon’s distress, +1+1+1…”
The Cloud Falcon flew into the distance, somewhat shaken. It knew it was no match for this human. However… he clearly could have taken its life, why did he not? Very strange!
Lu Shu looked at his earnings record with glee. The value of such continuous distress points may be little, but the amount cannot be neglected!
A major inspiration suddenly hit Lu Shu. Whatever about the center of the formation isn’t important. My trip to the remains this time is to reap distress points. Quality doesn’t matter either, just quant.i.ty will do!
Who knows what other life forms would be present inside this remains. Just stand some bullying and he can get everything!
He firmly believed that as long as he did not fear the hards.h.i.+p, weariness and trouble, he would be able to earn enough distress points to light up the seventh star…
