Chapter 464 Surprise Attack On The Enemy Camp
From Han Xuefei, Lu Yu roughly understood the situation of those chambers of commerce in the Stellaris Autonomous Region, which involved them each having their own professional fields in which they specialized.
The Red Heart Chamber of Commerce’s field was biotechnology. This sounded general and included many things, so it would probably take a long time to describe it in detail.
“What do you think?” Lu Yu looked at Han Xuefei and asked, “Is it possible that the Truth Department is an organization supported by the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce?”
Han Xuefei nodded. “It’s possible, but we don’t have any evidence.”
“That’s interesting. This time, we’ll have to do a thorough investigation.”
Lu Yu continued to move forward. As they walked through the dense forest, their visibility was low, as the crisscrossing tree branches made it impossible for them to see ahead.
At that moment, Wang Meng suddenly stopped in his tracks. He sniffed the air and said, “There seems to be the smell of blood in the air.”
“That’s right, and I smell it too.”
Soon, Lu Yu saw an animal’s corpse lying on the ground not far away.
He quickly walked over and found that it was the corpse of a gray wolf with a sharp arrow stuck in its chest.
“An arrow shot this wolf; it meant a human did this.”
“In other words, someone is hunting in this area,” Lu Yu continued.
Very soon, Xu Yuan realized what it meant. “Those people hunting here must be from the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce!”
“Hold on. We can follow this trail of blood and continue moving forward!”
Xu Yuan carefully pointed at a trail of blood stains on the ground.
This long line of blood droplets continued to extend forward into the depths of the dense forest.
“So, it means someone was hunting and shot this wolf. The gray wolf must have escaped with its injured body and finally fell here.”
Xu Yuan analyzed the situation.
Lu Yu nodded in agreement. “In other words, as long as we follow the trail of blood, we will be able to find the hunters, who are most likely from the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce!”
Lu Yu and Xu Yuan stood up and continued forward.
“Let’s be careful; we’ll probably encounter them soon!”
Lu Yu lowered his body and began to trek forward slowly, much slower than before.
The other team members behind him did the same. They lowered their bodies and almost disappeared in the dense grass.
Lu Yu moved forward quietly, and soon, he heard voices.
That’s strange. I clearly saw it running in this direction. How did it disappear?”
“You idiot, I told you to shoot one more arrow, but you’re too slow!”
“Damn it. We’ve lost the prey. Why don’t we go back?”
“No, we’ll hunt another one to compensate for it!”
Lu Yu pushed aside the tall grass and saw three people standing in the open space before him, discussing something heatedly.
The three stood facing each other, meaning that no matter which angle Lu Yu attacked from, he would be discovered.
“I can control one of them for a short period of time; how long that will last will depend on his strength.” Han Xuefei spoke up.
“I’ll go with you,” Yun Zirou said as she pulled out a dagger. “I’ll freeze one of them and finish him off.”
“Alright, then. The two of you will help me deal with these three.”
Han Xuefei nodded and got ready.
At that moment, Lu Yu looked at one of them and started to inch forward in silence.
Yun Zirou, on the other hand, was waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The three were still talking. They had a badge on their shoulders, a badge made of a red crystal gem in the shape of a heart.
“Sigh, what a pity to lose that prey of ours.”
“Let’s continue hunting. Otherwise, we won’t be able to report back to camp.”
“Sigh, I guess there’s no other choice.”
“Hey, why aren’t you saying anything?”
The two stared at the third and asked curiously.
At that moment, the third person’s hands were placed on his neck as if he wanted to pry something apart, but there was nothing there.
His face turned red, and his hands were struggling harder and harder.
“What’s going on? Are you having an asthma attack?”
“Hey, what’s wrong with you? Don’t troll us!”
The third person, who was being strangled, used all his strength to force out a sentence, “Look behind you.”
The other two suddenly felt a chill go down their backs, and they quickly turned around to look.
One of them turned around and happened to meet Yun Zirou’s eyes. In an instant, he fell into an illusion and was hypnotized.
Yun Zirou raised her dagger and slit the man’s throat.
On Lu Yu’s side, he shone his Undead Dragon Claw and activated his Rotten Claw skill. Lu Yu dug his claws into the person’s chest, instantly killing him!
Behind them, Han Xuefei’s right hand turned and jerked, and the last person’s neck was broken with a crack.
All three died in an instant.
Lu Yu faced his palms out and shot out flames, burning the three of them.
Soon, the flames were attached to the three corpses.
The three men miraculously stood up again and became undead warriors loyal to Lu Yu!
Lu Yu raised his hand, and the flames on these three corpses’ bodies gradually weakened until they were finally retracted into their bodies. From the surface, these three were no different from ordinary human beings, and no one could tell otherwise without looking too closely.
“I sure didn’t expect that you could continue to control them even after those flames were extinguished.” Xu Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s not extinguished,” Lu Yu said indifferently. “It’s still burning inside their bodies, and controlling them doesn’t require too strong of a flame.”
“There must be a stronghold nearby. Let’s find an opportunity to destroy it.”
Lu Yu started to head out while carefully observing his surroundings.
The other five followed behind Lu Yu, also vigilantly watching their surrounding…
Not far ahead, in an open space inside the forest, a few temporary tents were set up, forming a camp.
There was a bonfire in the middle of the camp during the day. This was because they were close to a snowy mountain, and the temperature dropped significantly even when the sun was shining.
There were five people in the camp, roasting meat around the bonfire.
“They’re really slow in their hunting. I’m almost done with my meat.”
“Those three must be lazing about. I would have thought they were lost if I didn’t know better!”
“Don’t say that. Maybe it’s really possible that they got lost. They might contact us through their walkie-talkie sooner or later and ask for help.”
As soon as he said that, all five of them laughed.
At that moment, someone suddenly stood up and pointed to a place not far away. “They’re back.”
The other four also stood up and looked over.
“It’s really the three of them. They’re finally back.”
“Haha, I don’t see any prey on their shoulders. They probably returned empty-handed.”
“I’m impressed that they somehow managed not getting a single prey when they worked together in a team of three.”
“When did the three of them become so useless?”
In the distance, the three men were slowly walking forward. Their movements were stiff, and they looked like they didn’t have much energy.
Those in the camp looked at the slow pace of the three people and shouted, “Hurry up; don’t blame us if there’s no meat left!”
“Gosh, you’re so slow; no wonder you can’t hunt a single beast!”
They shouted and were completely unaware that someone was approaching them from behind.
