Chapter 468 Whereabouts Exposed
Lu Yu and his teammates fought with more than ten people in the stronghold. The battle was intense, but Lu Yu’s side had the upper hand overall.
Very quickly, Lu Yu killed five to six people. The remaining people in the camp soon lost their morale, so they fought as they retreated, thinking of escaping.
Once they had such a thought, they were defeated at a faster rate.
When that happened, the bearded man hurriedly took a few steps back and turned around to escape. He knew they had already lost, and if he continued to fight, the result would be his death!
However, not long after turning around and running, he tripped and fell face-first to the ground.
He quickly looked back and found that there was no one around him; no stone or tree trunk on the ground could trip him.
He didn’t have time to wonder. He quickly got up and continued to escape from the camp.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Han Xuefei, she raised her right hand and lifted her staff!
Boom!
A cold jet of air gushed out instantly toward the bearded man’s entire body.
He quickly tried to dodge and no longer had the heart to continue fighting.
However, just as he was about to escape, the cold current of air rushed up and began to freeze his body.
His entire body was very quickly covered in a layer of frost, and he was frozen solid.
His entire body was frozen into an ice sculpture, and soon he lost all signs of life, becoming an actual inanimate ice sculpture.
Han Xuefei looked at the ice sculpture before her, revealing a faint smile. He probably wouldn’t have been defeated so easily if this guy hadn’t run away and continued fighting her.
After all, this guy’s strength wasn’t weak. He was at least a gold rank 3 or 4.
Han Xuefei could understand why he chickened out, as they were all merchants. Merchants cherished their lives the most and would run away at the first signs of danger.
Lu Yu cleared the remaining people and walked over.
“Well done. This way, only one person should have escaped.”
Lu Yu tapped the ice sculpture with his finger.
“Didn’t you already set up a trap? That person can’t have run far.”
Lu Yu nodded. “You can go and find him. I’ll burn the bodies here.”
“No problem,” she replied.
After saying that, Han Xuefei floated up and flew around.
Lu Yu returned to the center of the campsite, which was already desolate. The ground was covered in blood and corpses, the bonfire was overturned, and the houses were destroyed.
“Make way; let me burn these people.”
As Lu Yu spoke, Wang Meng and the rest gave way. Everyone was cautious and afraid of Lu Yu’s flames, which were like maggots in one’s bones. Once they touched it, they couldn’t get rid of it, and not a single one wanted to be even near those flames.
After the others stepped aside, Lu Yu opened his right claw. Flames spewed out of his palm and started burning the entire campsite. The fire was burning fiercely, and the corpses soon burned out.
The corpses stood up and became Lu Yu’s puppets.
“Alright, let’s go find Han Xuefei. She should have found that guy.”
Lu Yu took the lead and walked in the direction Han Xuefei had flown.
Wang Meng and the others followed closely behind, discussing from time to time.
“These people’s combat strength is very average. We can easily deal with them.”
Wang Meng smiled relaxedly, as if the battle just now was just a simple warm-up.
“After all, they brought a thousand people with them,” Yun Zirou said. “Among them, there are probably only about a hundred who are formidable and probably only a dozen or so who are truly powerful.”
“Yeah, those thousand people are mostly fillers. The number of powerhouses they have might not be as many as ours.” Yun Zirou said.
“I saw a gold rank 3 badge on someone’s body during the battle just now,” Su Qing added. “His strength isn’t bad.”
Yun Zirou looked at Su Qing and asked, “What’s your overall strength ranking now?”
Su Qing thought for a moment and said, “The last test showed gold rank 2. Now, it should be around rank 3.”
“I guess so. Gold rank 3 isn’t weak, but it’s the lowest level needed to enter this ancient ruin. However, your talent will make up for it, and you should be able to improve quickly here.”
In terms of pure talent, Yun Zirou’s speed of improvement was definitely not as quick as Su Qing’s. However, her family background was excellent, and they could provide her with many resources to help her grow quickly.
Just then, Lu Yu saw Han Xuefei just a little bit ahead.
At that moment, Han Xuefei was squatting in front of a corpse with three undead warriors standing around her.
Lu Yu quickly ran over to her side.
“Nice, you found him. Is he dead?” he asked.
Han Xuefei suddenly stood up and spoke nervously.
“He’s dead, but there’s a serious problem. We’re exposed!” She replied anxiously.
She raised her right hand and showed a walkie-talkie.
“This walkie-talkie was connected to a team captain not far from here. His strength ranks among the top ten in the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce.”
“You know that much?” Lu Yu asked, puzzled.
“The dead man had the captain’s name card.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly, took the walkie-talkie, and pressed the call button.
“Please answer if you copy.”
With that, Lu Yu released the button.
After a short while, the walkie-talkie rang.
“So you’re the one who killed my subordinate?” The other party’s voice was very deep, like the voice of a muscular man.
“That’s right, it’s me,”
“Hah, you’re Lu Yu, right? Do you know you are a walking bag of cash now? When I capture you alive, I will enjoy endless wealth and glory for the rest of my life!”
“Tsk, that’s if you can catch me. Talking big is always easy.”
“Don’t worry; I’ll find you. When the time comes, you’ll know that you shouldn’t talk to me like that.”
“Then you must hurry over, as I can’t wait to destroy you too! Let’s see whose fist is tougher!”
“Wait for me; I’ll be there soon.”
Then, the walkie-talkie lost its signal.
“It looks like someone strong will come to fight me. This is going to be interesting.”
Lu Yu spoke with a smile and extended his Dragon Claw to spit out flames, burning the bespectacled man’s corpse.
“We’ve been exposed, so isn’t it best to escape now?”
Xu Yuan asked worryingly.
“Do you really think we’ve been exposed?” Lu Yu shot him a glance.
Xu Yuan frowned, expressing his confusion. The others standing beside him were also confused.
Lu Yu continued to explain, “That guy values the reward for my capture greatly. From his tone, he really wants this reward. He will not continue to report or share this information with others after receiving it, intending to enjoy this reward alone.”
