Chapter 27 A Dog Relying on Its Master's Power
After the fierce battle, Lu Ren was almost completely exhausted. He ate a few slices of braised beef and then stuffed a spirit bone into his mouth.
This battle wasn't considered particularly dangerous by others, even by Lu Ren, but it was a different story for a certain little one.
After calming down, Jiang Yueying looked extremely excited.
"Yoyong, Yoyong, did you see that? Wasn't I super cool just now?!"
"What you just did..."
An Yourong pondered for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "Super handsome!"
Jiang Yueying was also very excited, shouting and jumping with An Yourong.
Then she asked Lin Huanghu, "Huanghu, where's Huanghu? Did you see it just now...?"
Lin Huanghu smiled gently. Jiang Yueying's performance was terrible, but seeing the little one's pleading look, he couldn't bear to criticize her.
He could only nod and praise, "The burning power of Moonshadow is stronger than many bronze-level skills."
"Hehe, hehe..."
After a while, she moved closer to Lu Ren and looked up at him: "You just now, you did a good job too."
"..." Isn't this child getting a little too cocky?
Lu Ren didn't bother arguing with a little brat and praised her, saying, "You're very capable too."
"Hmph, hmph..."
She sniffed and then commented on Lu Ren: "No, but your physical fitness is too poor. You need to keep working on it."
This guy is so easy to disappear from sight. No wonder he thinks he knows men inside and out after playing a few rounds of "Gala Gemu".
The passerby retraced his steps and retrieved the remains he hadn't had time to collect along the way.
He killed a total of 28 Mud Eaters this time and ate 5 spirit bones, which means he harvested 23. The recycling price of Mud Eater spirit bones today seems to be 230 yuan. If he splits it with Lin Huanghu, he can get close to 3 yuan.
However, as he was returning along the same route, he suddenly encountered a group of people.
"Biaozi, Shitou, look! Sure enough, a battle just broke out here. There are six mud-eating monster corpses."
"Hmm, it looks like he was killed by a mage, and it was a very powerful fire spell. Ah Zhe, can you tell what kind of magic it is?"
"It looks a bit like... an explosive fireball!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Exploding Flame Bomb? Isn't that a skill of the Fire-Swallowing Beast from the Qu Family's 'Fire Realm'? It seems like you need almost 420 elemental power to learn that skill. Is this a skill from a master at the Fire-Burning Realm?"
Although the standard for reaching the Burning Flame Realm in the evaluation is that the main attribute exceeds 500, in reality, many people who have just broken through to the Burning Flame Realm only have three or four hundred main attributes.
"Some geniuses, when they reach the bottleneck stage of the Candle Illumination Realm, can achieve a main attribute of 400, or even more than 450..."
"But that person must be a master. Look, after that person killed those mud monsters, he didn't even care about their spirit remains."
"Six mud-eating monster skeletons can fetch over a thousand yuan, what a windfall, Biaozi!"
Lu Ren, who was hiding in the shadows, saw four men and one woman, a total of five people.
Having experienced the He family from Jizhou before, Lu Ren was extremely wary of encountering other professionals in the wild.
When Lu Ren is with the young lady, he usually avoids other professionals in the virtual world.
Most of the beasts are just fierce, but not very intelligent, but humans are different.
Humans are all wicked.
Here you go.
However, just as Lu Ren was about to leave and give up the thousand yuan, the girl in their group suddenly looked at his hiding place and shouted:
"Who's there!"
Even though he was still fifty or sixty meters away and the visibility in the dense forest was poor, the girl was still able to spot him.
This should be a divine cultivator, and a 'mind master' with a high 'resonance' attribute.
Divine cultivation is generally a support profession, and the spirit of divine cultivation is divided into three categories: Yin and Yang, resonance, and inspiration.
The highest level of "Inspiration" is "Divine Sorcerer". Divine Sorcerers are more complex and have more diverse methods, and can do things that other systems can do.
Those with high Yin-Yang attributes are called sorcerers, also known as healers, but they also use witchcraft techniques such as cursing and summoning gods.
Those with the highest level of "Resonance" are called "Psychic Masters," who are usually investigators and trackers, and also possess abilities such as illusion and control.
In fact, among professionals, physical cultivators account for 60%, magic cultivators account for 30%, and divine cultivators account for only 10%, so not all teams have support.
Lu Ren looked at the five people, his mind racing with calculations.
One is a mentalist, the other two, A Biao and Shi Tou, are most likely warriors or shield warriors, the one wearing glasses named A Zhe is probably a mage, and the last one is of unknown profession but is carrying alchemical items, so he is most likely an item master.
There are five of them; I definitely can't beat them.
Realizing he had been discovered, Lu Ren felt a little nervous.
But what puzzled him was that the group opposite him was even more nervous than he was.
The five people immediately assumed a fighting stance, all looking at him nervously as if Lu Ren were some kind of ferocious beast.
"Who are you?"
"What are you doing standing there?!"
Lu Ren was taken aback. Why were these people so nervous?
She seemed very afraid of herself.
Judging from this, these people are a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old lads, still wearing school uniforms.
They must be doing group work like Lin Huanghu and the others, right?
In the eyes of the students, the virtual world is very dangerous, and the professionals in the virtual world who live on the edge are also very dangerous.
They were just a bunch of kids, so what was he afraid of?
He's still a kid from the academic school, and he looks down on academics the most. They're all just armchair strategists, all dead muscles.
"Cough cough—"
He swaggered out and said pretentiously, "What do you guys want? I killed these mud-eating monsters. Get out of my way."
"So, you were my prey, senior. I'm so sorry..."
See? A little kid is just a little kid. The moment he unleashed his mature, adult aura, these teenagers cowered in fear.
However, before Lu Ren could collect the remains, the mental sorcerer spoke up:
"No, no, his attribute values are no more than 100, maybe 70? No, it seems to be only 50... So weak, he's just a Firefly Realm cultivator."
"..." He felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart.
It's 50, why are you calling me weak!
A-Zhe immediately realized: "He's here to steal these mud-eating monsters."
"Don't talk nonsense, I killed him."
"With attribute stats in the 50s, where did you get such powerful fire magic?"
Go ahead and chase them down! What's wrong with 50 attribute points? Did I eat your rice?
"My companions are right behind me. You bunch of young people, just you wait..."
"He wanted to go back and call for help, but we stopped him!"
Just as Lu Ren was about to shout "Damn it!", the two soldiers sprang into action and charged forward almost instantly.
His physical abilities, which were far superior to Lu Ren's, meant that he had no chance of escaping.
However, at that moment, the mounds of earth on both sides of him suddenly arched up, and two giant hands, as big as bed boards, formed from soft soil.
The giant hand rose from the ground and grabbed at the two warriors.
"Buhou!"
"Get out of the way!"
However, just as they dodged the two giant hands, four more giant hands made of soft earth rose up around them, blocking their path. Finally, the four giant hands joined together in pairs and attacked each other.
"Clatter—"
They grabbed the two men and the ground beneath them turned into a soft, swampy mess, leaving them unable to escape for the time being.
"This is... Tsuchimuma-te." A-Zhe was surprised, recognizing what kind of skill this was.
The Earth Swamp Hands technique isn't particularly strong; warriors of the same level can easily dodge it. However, the skill in using it, the anticipation, and the simultaneous execution of four Earth Swamp Hands demonstrates that this person is no ordinary individual.
Lu Ren knew that reinforcements had arrived after seeing this move. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Shen Yaoxing and his group who had come to check the situation.
He had seen Lin Huanghu use that move before.
Seeing that things were not going well, he hid behind An Yourong. Shen Yaoxing, who was next to him, saw him making a fool of himself and kicked his shin in annoyance, asking him what happened.
A-Zhe recognized the person who had just arrived. "You are... Lin Huanghu from Class 2, Law Major, Year 2?"
"An Yourong? So it's you."
Lu Ren blinked and asked the person next to him, "Your classmate?"
An Yourong answered him softly, "It's from our school."
Lin Huanghu stepped forward. The two soldiers were still trapped in the mud. He looked at them and said:
"We killed these mud-eating monsters; are you trying to steal them?"
Chen Wenzhe frowned slightly: "You're clearly an earth mage. I know both of your skills. Where did you get fire magic skills from?"
"This was done by Moonshadow."
"Moonlight?"
Chen Wenzhe looked at the little girl, who seemed to be a first-grade student, but had always been a very inconspicuous person. However, he did have a vague recollection of her.
The reason I remember Jiang Yueying is because she often followed Lin Huanghu. Lin Huanghu wasn't the most outstanding genius in their grade, but as the eldest son of the Lin family in Linjiang, he was considered a prominent figure in the school.
A few mud-eating monsters were nothing to them, but Chen Wenzhe was intrigued and curious.
He glanced at the girl in his group without making a sound. The girl understood what he meant, but the next second, her face paled and she shook her head slightly at him.
She can't detect it!
This means that the little girl's total attributes are twice as high as the wheat's resonance attributes!
How is that possible?
Mai Zi was a mentalist he hired at a high price from the Tianxing Guild, and his resonance attribute was over two hundred.
Is this person a monster? Nearly 500 in attributes? Is this girl already at the Flame Reaper Realm?
How could a student in the school possibly reach the Flame Relic Realm? Especially a first-year student!
"Tonuma Te—"
Suddenly, the ground bulged up, this time with an even more powerful earth-shattering hand, the size of a small detached building.
"Scatter!"
The next second, the earthen hand, as big as a house, crashed over the spot where the people were standing like a giant wave.
"boom--"
The dust kicked up was tens of meters high, and the surrounding trees were uprooted and destroyed as if they had been hit by a mudslide.
Lu Ren was very envious. This Tsuchimuma technique is so cool! He wanted to learn it. He would ask where he could buy it later.
Why do these people have to shout out when they unleash their skills?
Is this a unique cultural characteristic of this world?
After dodging them, Chen Wenzhe, looking annoyed, shouted at them, "Lin Huanghu, what are you doing?"
Lin Huanghu's expression remained calm as he said, "Do you still think this is a school? Randomly probing others—I have reason to believe you're declaring war on me."
Chen Wenzhe was somewhat annoyed, but quickly lost his temper.
"We'll apologize when we get back to school."
"No need for apologies, may you leave now?"
"...Let's go."
Seeing the five people covered in dust and dirt, Lu Ren swaggered over to retrieve the remains, even uttering a few arrogant words:
"I told you to leave quickly, but you wouldn't listen. You think you're so tough? Why don't you exchange a few blows with Brother Lin?"
Shen Yaoxing's fist hardened again.
Not only is Shen Yaoxing strong, but Chen Wenzhe and his gang are also strong.
However, the situation was indeed beyond their control, and they were also in the wrong.
One of the soldiers, covered in dirt, glared at Lu Ren before leaving with his companions.
"Alright, let's go. Let's continue deeper into the swamp monster."
After collecting the Mud-Eating Monster's remains, Lu Ren quickly followed.
