Lu Shu was bewildered. You simply could not be praised, could you?!
But the two lines of bloody tears on Nogiwa Takenobu’s face instantly brought him back to the sinister scene at the Beimang remains pit. Was he really that desperate…
Li Yixiao’s paunchy figure brushed past Lu Shu like a blast of wind.
Run! That old kid is risking his life!
Before Lu Shu could react, Li Yixiao had disappeared into a random hole.
Lu Shu drew a startled breath. Could you be any more bloody unreliable?!
After Nogiwa Takenobu ran out of the palace, he was much delighted at the numerous hollows on the wall. They increased his chances of survival!
As long as he could hide himself and reinforce his Class B capabilities, the relic might still be within his reach.
In fact, Nogiwa Takenobu traded his future for a possibility of sustaining his life, and luckily no fatal injuries had occurred to him thus far. Seeing that Li Yixiao had already gone far, Nogiwa shifted his eyes to Lu Shu who was still corroding his shurikens…
Lu Shu froze at once.
Haha, what if I tell you I’m providing free maintenance services for your shurikens like waxing and polishing… Okay fine, I know you won’t believe me. Fck you, Li Yixiao!
He started cursing mercilessly at Li Yixiao upon seeing Nogiwa Takenobu’s darkening face. Then, Lu Shu immediately turned tail and ran! He should run as far as possible when Nogiwa Takenobu was still unsure about his abilities! There was no time to care about anything else.
Nogiwa Takenobu’s heart throbbed in pain. Those shurikens were his spoils during an internal conflict within the Collection of Gods. They were just awesome.
In addition to their unparalleled sharpness, each one of them could be remotely controlled. Though unable to be compared to the flying daggers of the Heavenly Network, he had so many of them!
In daily combats, long-ranged attacking techniques historically remained one of the CoG’s greatest drawbacks. As a matter of fact, every legacy had certain weaknesses.
Thus, they had to compensate for their shortcomings with magical weapons, such as Nogiwa Takenobu’s katana snake and his shurikens!
Usually he took extra care of his katana and shurikens. Yet, in the end, this Pikabin snatched all of them from him!
At the moment, Nogiwa’s hatred towards Li Yixiao had been fully evaporated, and Lu Shu was the only person left in his sight…
Then, a revelation suddenly crossed his mind. This young man in front of him was not some newly promoted Class B from the Heavenly Network!
If he were, he would never be able to defeat two of them so long as he was not a Class A.
Why did he not realize it earlier! Else, he should have avoided Li Yixiao first and taken down this boy without hesitation when he returned earlier!
When Lu Shu darted towards the nearest hole, he took a look back. Why was he not going after Li Yixiao? Such a headache.
As a fake strength type, Lu Shu’s speed was comparable to a beginner Class B, regardless of his other abilities.
But the thing was, Nogiwa Takenobu had upped himself to a peak Class B at the moment. He was way faster than Lu Shu!
Lu Shu was anxious. He might not be able to escape without his trump cards! But before he could come up with a strategy, suddenly a figure emerged from nowhere, his dagger stabbed towards Nogiwa Takenobu with an eerie blue glow.
Quick and decisive, as though purely intended to buy Lu Shu some time.
Nogiwa Takenobu immediately rolled aside to dodge the blade. Just when he focused his mind to locate his attacker, the person had blended into the crowd.
But Lu Shu used the time to reach the wall. Before he entered the hollow, he turned to see the expert standing beside Coral.
The Deities’ stand was clear too. They would only assist Lu Shu, but not to engage in fights with Nogiwa Takenobu just for him.
In any case, it was certainly not a wise decision to confront Nogiwa in his current status as both parties would probably end up weakened and being taken advantage of by other bystanders. However, things might be easier after Nogiwa Takenobu returned to his original level, because he might be even frailer than immediately after his use of the secret technique.
The Deities helped Lu Shu out of Coral’s love for him, but that did not mean they would be willing to put themselves in danger.
Without any further delay, Lu Shu ducked into the darkness.
Nogiwa Takenobu sneered at the Deities.
The Collection of Gods will certainly repay your act.
After that, a small crystal bottle appeared on his palm. The liquid inside provided gentle illumination for lighting purposes.
In the next second, everybody stood still as Nogiwa Takenobu ran into the hollow in pursuit of Lu Shu. Only then did they start to examine the structure of those holes.
With so many paths here, it must be very complicated inside. Who knows what may happen if we pick the wrong way?!
someone exclaimed.
Could it be a maze inside?!
Practitioners from the various big organizations warned,
Individual Practitioners, it is a labyrinth. Don’t act on your own. Else, no one can save you if you get lost inside!
Their plan was to let the individual Practitioners scout for them. Yet, the latter were not stupid either. How could it be such a benign offer as it seemed?
Thus, many small groups had made up their mind. Despite the many dangers awaiting them, it was still better to risk their lives for themselves than for other organizations!
Now, it was not a matter of their willingness to continue their exploration. They would be forced to walk in front no matter what!
At this instant, suddenly some individual Practitioners took to their heels towards the hollows. Given the countless roads here, they would not be that unlucky as to bump into big organizations inside, would they?
Of course, there were those who were trapped in a dilemma. Their indecisiveness rendered it hard for them to bet on their lives.
To them, big organizations spelled for power and security.
Every person has his own choices to make, and consequently his fate awaited.
Meanwhile, Nogiwa Takenobu glided to and for in the dark hollows. Suddenly, his acute vision caught a glimpse of something on the wall! It was a line of tiny carvings. Could it be a clue of the remains?! Hope lit up in his heart as he raised his crystal bottle to the wall for a closer look.
Nogiwa Takenobu leaned in to study the words closely. They were too small to be hardly legible.
I am your Lord, trapped here 1,000 years ago. Now, I need you to pay my bail of 100 dollars. I will guarantee your ascension to Class A after I get out! My account is…
Nogiwa Takenobu’s face darkened at once. Were fighters of the Heavenly Network so childish nowadays?!
From Nogiwa Takenobu’s distress, +999!
