Chapter 612: Finding People on the Island
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Shu sat alone on the defensive wall and looked at the stars above. He did not know how to spend the night.
The most important thing was to find the relic. Finding the relic would relieve everyone from this difficult situation. But the relic was hidden deep in the sea. How should they find it?
Lu Shu looked down at the sea. He was becoming restless. He had water-type abilities, thus unlike others, he did not have to worry about problems like breathing and movement. On the contrary, he was at an advantage underwater.
Although Lu Shu’s use of his water-type abilities was somewhat twisted, this did not affect his combat ability in water.
After the people of the sea had been killed, their corpses were not left behind. Even their bronze armor had turned into dust and disappeared. This made Lu Shu somewhat regretful.
There were now over four hundred tridents in the Seal of Lands. After Chaos awakened, it could feed on as many tridents as it wished. But there were not many chances like this. Lu Shu had wanted to reserve more stock for Chaos.
At first, he had still thought that the bronze armor would be left behind, but that was not the case. The bronze armor was also considered a weapon. It did not make sense if it were left behind.
After Lu Shu had collected the tridents, he thought about how to preserve the bronze armor. If his comrades could all wear the armor, there would definitely be fewer injuries, right?
The battle had been too intense, thus Lu Shu did not pay attention to the distress points he had earned. But he realized something odd. There were no distress points!
Even when he had fought with Little Fury, he had earned a few distress points. How could he not have earned any distress points from the soldiers of the sea?
Wait. Lu Shu saw a few strange names. “From Ke Lala’s distress, +999!”
“From Ke Duowu’s distress, +1000!”
These were evidently not normal Chinese names. If there was only one name, then one could say that it was rare. But two unusual names had appeared. This was very strange.
“So the soldiers of the sea had been controlled, like the man-eating lizards? Furthermore, did Ke Lala and Ke Duowu control the rest of the lizards in this area?” Lu Shu pondered deeply. “So how many more soldiers of the sea like Ke Lala and Ke Duowu are there under the sea? How strong are they?”
Hm? Lu Shu looked at the 1000 distress points that Ke Duowu had provided and thought about it. Under normal circ.u.mstances, 1000 distress points would only be produced during a death, except for special circ.u.mstances. He had killed a Cla.s.s C soldier during the battle. Could that Cla.s.s C soldier have been Ke Duowu?
If this was the case, he could conclude that most controllers were of Cla.s.s C. There was definitely a much stronger figure behind them. Lu Shu did not believe that there was not even a single Cla.s.s B in this remains.
Although this remains was not as big as the Koh Chang Island remains, but with the development of the magic-rich spiritual qi, there were few remains that did not have Cla.s.s B creatures.
Back then in the Koh Chang Island remains, Lu Shu had thought that running into Cla.s.s A’s was the norm. But after looking at the information on the Golden Foundation forum, it seemed like the Koh Chang Island was special because of the presence of the Blood Devil and the Puppet Master.
Lu Shu looked at the sea. He decided not to go into the water for now. He felt that he still had to wait for the right opportunity.
As the rest of the 42nd Battalion was resting, they saw Lu Shu sitting alone on the defensive wall and felt a.s.sured. They had wanted to accompany him, but he did not let them do so.
He was waiting for tridents to come. If the others joined him, did they plan on stealing the tridents from him?
Lu Shu waited for a few hours, but nothing happened. Lu Shu said to Mo Chengkong, “Don’t be in a rush to find me. I have something to settle, so I have to walk around the island. I’ll come back after I’m done. If any danger or attacks happen, I will rush back immediately… didn’t I say that I’ll rush back? Let go of me!”
Mo Chengkong let go of Lu Shu’s hand in embarra.s.sment. “Ahem, instinct, instinct… Brother Shu, where are you going?”
“I’m going to find someone.” After Lu Shu finished speaking, he disappeared into the darkness of the island. He was going to find Lu Xiaoyu.
Lu Xiaoyu sat on the other side of the island. She was part of the first batch that had arrived. She had been here for ten days.
Her face, which was originally pale and clean was covered in sweat and soot. Throughout the entire battle, Lu Xiaoyu had been the front line of the 1st Battalion.
It was said that one could only determine one’s character and the friends.h.i.+p between two people after going through a life-or-death situation. This was biased. This a.s.sumed that one was only a good friend or a decent person if one was willing to sacrifice their lives for others.
Was it bad to be a little selfish? If you could not sacrifice your life for your friend, does your friends.h.i.+p end? There was no such thing.
But as Lu Xiaoyu protected her comrades against the soldiers of the sea, everyone was convinced that this was the same Lu Xiaoyu who brought them into the practice combat.
When some of them saw Lu Xiaoyu sitting on the defensive wall, they said, “Xiaoyu, it’s too dangerous there. Hurry up and come here. You need to rest too.”
“I’m fine. You guys have a rest,” Lu Xiaoyu said calmly.
Lu Xiaoyu did not sleep much, even though she typically loved to sleep and slack off. She was like the G.o.ddess of protection on the sh.o.r.e, guarding her territory.
She was not selfless. After going through the military training and slowly getting used to it, the kindness from her comrades made Lu Xiaoyu feel that these people could not die for nothing here.
Were humans inherently good or bad? There was no definite answer. But one thing was for sure. People could become good.
In the eyes of the other girls, Lu Xiaoyu was the strongest Daoyuan Cla.s.s student. She did not complain even though she shouldered such a heavy responsibility.
All the people in the 1st Battalion had changed their weapons for a trident. They did not have many people, only a hundred. As for the leftover tridents… they were all placed near Lu Xiaoyu’s feet. This was her request. The other girls had nothing to say.
The girls who had cautioned Lu Xiaoyu shook their heads helplessly and returned. “She is not willing to take a break. What do we do? Xiaoyu… she is really strong.”
“Then let’s accompany her,” said one girl.
