Chapter 139: Continue Exploring (2) “How do we find that Lu Shu?”

This matter became a difficult problem for the members of the heavenly network who witnessed Lu Shu’s amazing feat. Initially, they wanted to wait for Lu Shu to appear again and give him some sort of signal to join them. Their group will be much more powerful with the addition of Lu Shu.

At this stage, their talismans were not of much use on the skeletons as they were immune to injuries from flames and explosions.

It would be useful if the explosive talisman could blow up the skeletons, but it wasn’t strong enough.

Which was why at this time, pure strength was the strongest form of combat power.

Everyone used to think that strength type metahumans were too simple but regardless of how everyone looked down on strength usually, they did not think that way anymore. Just their speed alone was an issue which caused many problems.

“Seems like he’s not appearing anymore. It’s likely that he’s resting or he went to another place,” Someone said.

The class D leader frowned, “Let those who are in charge of recruiting lost people to focus their target on the opposing mountain. Firstly, see if there are any survivors. Secondly, see if there are any clues to finding this Lu Shu. It’s okay if we can’t find him since we have already identified the leader. We’ll make our move in the afternoon, I estimate that our remaining comrades should be moving into the core of the remain around this time too.”

Within the heavenly network, the abilities of practitioners spread amongst different locations were similar. Even though facing the skeletons were tough, everyone had waited and observed for so long. It was time to make a move.

All along, they did not think that they couldn’t beat these skeletons but they only wanted to minimize the casualties.

And judging from the rations, perhaps men at other locations had the same worry – there was not enough food. They had to make a move now before it’s too late!

Based on his judgment, others could have already gone in or they weren’t too far away from this group.

No one knew what it was like in the heart of the remain after passing the valley. It would be good as long as there was food.

Four troopers of the heavenly network received the instructions to start advancing towards the mountain opposite them. They all understood in their hearts that their main objective was to look for traces of Lu Shu.

The four men started advancing towards the foot of the mountain and started searching.

After an hour or so when they were about to gather at the peak of the mountain, someone shouted, “Come over quickly!”

The other three came over only to notice the armor and the bones on the ground. They counted exactly 8 sets of armor and bones!

One of them took a deep breath, “Who did this?”

“There’s no blood on the floor, no torn clothes or similar items. Does that mean that the person who fought them was unscathed? Was it a total victory? How did he do it?”

Yes, how did he do it?

“Could it be that other teams met with this skeleton squad here? But we never noticed any skeleton squad going up the mountain before!”

“Do you think… Lu Shu killed them all by himself? In these few days, he’s the only person alive we’ve seen on this mountain. There wasn’t anyone here a few days ago when we were here searching for survivors, was there?” One of them asked with a strange expression.

“It can’t be. No matter how strong he is, he’s still a class E strength type metahuman. It’s impossible for him to kill all these skeletons without a single injury. If he had this ability, why did he have to steal weapons, couldn’t he have exterminated that other skeleton squad?”

“That makes sense. Previously he was behaving sneakily with the spears, which meant that he wasn’t confident of defeating an entire skeleton squad. But do you guys see this, there’s not a single weapon here. I somehow feel that this is his style…”

“He might have an accomplice, we wouldn’t know. Let’s go back and report all this information.”

Once the people at their base heard of this, they were silent with shock. Someone actually managed to kill an entire skeleton squad on the opposing mountain and escaped unscathed?! How was that possible?

They could never possibly figure out that Lu Shu came up with a new offensive technique. Whoever had such powerful weapons would definitely be afraid to lose them. After all, there were so limited amount of weapons!

But Lu Shu had too many weapons. Even after throwing one, he still had extras!

“Was it Lu Shu?” The leader asked.

“We’re not sure. We didn’t see him, but we already searched that mountain before and there are no other survivors.”

“It might be other practitioners as well. After all, there’s no form of communication here and no one could say for sure if it’s other practitioners.”

In the end, everyone agreed with the latter theory: Other practitioners did it and not Lu Shu.

Because they could not accept the notion that Lu Shu managed to do all that by himself.

Meanwhile, Lu Shu wasn’t worried about exposing himself while carrying so many weapons. He was known as a class E strength type metahuman and had nothing much to hide from other people.

He didn’t need to keep the spear throwing a secret as well. He would tell them he was proud of his strength if anyone asks.

All this would further establish his identity as a strength type metahuman and conceal the other secrets he had as a metahuman.

To Lu Shu, everything was fine as long as he didn’t reveal his system, celestial map as well as the mystery of his aptitude.

Everything else didn’t seem much of a problem.

In the eyes of others, he was still that class E metahuman with tier F potential who would stop improving any time.

Lu Shu was rather depressed. Liu Li would likely not arm-wrestle him anymore, and he would have to ‘stagnate’ at class E for a long time… Of course, as long as Liu Li did not disgust him in future, there was no need for him to annoy him.

At this moment, Lu Shu already had the ability to fight a skeleton squad so he wanted to continue searching for the heart of the remain.

Lu Shu was still pondering over why he didn’t see many people throughout his journey. Could it be that everyone was transported into the core right from the start? If this was the case, there weren’t many people outside so there should definitely be quite a commotion inside…

No one knew what this remain was like and everything was based on guesses.

As for the notion of starting a big business, Lu Shu counted the 11 spears on his back and decided to attack the skeleton squad patrolling the entrance in the afternoon before entering the heart of the remains through via the valley.

The current Lu Shu exuded immense confidence!
