Two orioles sing amid the willows green, but yet not even two egg tarts.


A row of white egrets fly into the blue sky, while Lu Xiaoyu and I eat seafood.

Along the way, Lu Shu was going on and on with his twisted poems. If Li Xianyi, Li Yixiao or Shi Xuejin were present, they could probably guess where Lu Xiaoyu inherited her sense of ancient literature from. Lu Shu spent his entire fortune on lighting up the fifth star. Although the painstakingly earned distress points were just gone like that, Lu Shu was delighted.
The number of times he could use the corpsedog increased from one to three and the duration of his celestial cloak increased from thirty minutes to one hour. His strength could now rival that of an average Class D strength type. Every subsequent breakthrough would be equivalent to that rising up a class.
At this point in time, no more skeletons were appearing. Lu Shu felt more at ease compared to previously, it was like walking through a field of mines and who knew when the next skeleton was going to pop out?
Before long, Lu Shu was feeling a heartache over the fruits he gave out. Why are these daoyuan students so disappointing? They were all high and mighty in school but after coming in here, they’re all terrified.
What is the point in cultivating them?
He thought for a moment. What if the heavenly network realized from this incident that the mentality of the daoyuan students was fundamentally different from people like Xi Fei and the soldiers? The student had never been through any hard training and maybe the heavenly network would come up with a new plan to send everyone for a reformation?
In fact, not anyone could go to war mentally stable with just training. Even for a highly adaptive person like Lu Shu, after his battle with Chang Hengyue, he sat quietly for a whole day thinking and came to an understanding of various morals.
As he advanced towards the heart of the remains, the broad yellow-soiled ravines slowly turned into hills and valleys. Lu Shu also realized that as he got closer to the center, the world seemed to have become cold. The bald mountain ridges and canyons were only filled with rocks and soil. The scattered trees and plants were all withered away and the tree branches were of a strange dark grey color.
Lu Shu looked up at the sky and there were also no signs of birds or any life forms.
This whole situation felt as though there was something sucking away all the life force in this region. Lu Shu suddenly thought that the heavenly network or the soldiers that were transported here must have some food reserves. They were definitely not as underprepared as the daoyuan students.
During this trip, all the parents of daoyuan students would be devastated due to the many casualties.
At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly heard the sound of horses which raised his alertness. The people that brought horses definitely did not enter with him as at that point in time, there weren’t any horses on Mt Beimang. He was very sure of this point.
And yet the sound of horses could be heard ahead as he walked through the valley. There was no time or place for him to hide.
A person appeared from the other end. Covered in the color black, he was clad in a heavy armor which enveloped his entire body as he sat on a horse, carrying a spear in his hand.
On first look, the spear definitely wasn’t normal and it had a unique shine under the sunlight. It was definitely a few levels higher than Lu Shu’s sword and ax…
Upon seeing Lu Shu, that person immediately attacked. The neigh of his horse echoed through the valley as the person lifted up his spear to waist level, ready to strike. His entire armored body and the horse momentarily merged and had the aura of the perfect knight!
This took Lu Shu by surprise. He knew that the incoming strike would definitely kill him and he had no way to dodge!
Compared to the skeletons that appeared from the ground, this was on a totally different level, making those things seem like the appetizer.
In the split of a second, that person was right in front of Lu Shu and he could see the white bones under the helmet… It was a skeleton! That pale white bone looked like it came from the abyss of hell, how terrifying!
At this moment, horse, skeleton, spear at attention!
The strike combining the strength of that person and the horse headed in Lu Shu’s direction. Lu Shu stopped hesitating and immediately let go of the ax and sword, using his bare hands and brute force to bypass the sharp end of the spear and grab onto its shaft!
His two arms completely stopped the spear a distance away from him but the horse was still charging at him. And Lu Shu was being continuously pushed back and his feets left a deep trail in the soil! Lu Shu’s clothes and hair were blown upwards by the blast!
After the horseman and Lu Shu exchanged blows, they had already shifted about a hundred meters from their original position. Lu Shu was enraged as he mustered his strength to plant his feet firmly into the ground, using his brute force to stop the horse!
If those skeletons in the yellow soil were of average Class F strength, then this skeleton horseman had reached the peak of Class E!
If Lu Shu hadn’t light up the fifth star, it would be much tougher!
At this moment, the horseman tried to pull back his spear to strike again, but… he couldn’t… Lu Shu was stronger!
Lu Shu had a tight grip on the spear, how could I let you have this? I’ve even thrown away my sword and ax and this spear seems like something good, so how can I let you have it back?
I, Lu Shu, isn’t that kind of person to let treasures go!
The horseman tried several more times using his full strength but never could release the spear from Lu Shu’s grip.

From the horseman’s distress, +1

Lu Shu was surprised. This was the same as the situation with the squirrels and green wolves, this guy had a mind of its own!
It was a stalemate and the horse was neighing continuously. The spear was unretrievable no matter what! Why did the fight turn into a robbery?!
Suddenly, Lu Shu once again heard the sound of horses from outside the valley. This time, a cavalry of 9 horsemen appeared. Lu Shu was in trouble, why so many?! There were 10 horsemen in front of him!
Seeing that the horseman right in front of him striking once again, Lu Shu shouted,
Let go!

With a burst of strength, he managed to snatch the spear away from the other party!
Lu Shu had obtained the spear and no longer cared for his ax and sword as he turned around and fled!
The opponents had horses and their advancement would normally be unstoppable. But Lu Shu was agile and in fact, his strength and speed far surpassed that of the cavalry.
Lu Shu didn’t choose an easy route but found an opportunity head up the mountain. The natural obstacles in the mountains were the cavalry’s weakness.
