Chapter 450: Lu Xiaoyu Protects Lu Shu

Gazing at the words written by Lu Xiaoyu, Lu Shu found it hilariously interesting. He had played the role of a prankster for too long, but now, it was his time to be fooled! He felt cheated!

On second thoughts, right, why would there be an arrow pointing straight to the treasure or relic in the remains…

In fact, he thought Lu Xiaoyu was still on the surface, as she did not make it in time before the palace sank into the ground.

Which meant the little girl could just be in front. Lu Shu moved on along the stone wall, but his face darkened at once at the next line. “Lu Shu is a pig”.

Lu Shu, “???”

The five words were so small that Lu Shu almost missed them had he not paid special attention to search. But what are you doing in the remains? Vandalism? Besides, why are you name calling me? You’ve changed, Lu Xiaoyu!

Then, Lu Shu erased the words with his Corpsedog. Haha, lucky that he had walked past here!

Then, even more appeared on the wall, things like “Lu Shu once cried over TV dramas”, “Lu Shu once didn’t wash his face for three days”, Lu Shu is a big idiot”…

Lu Shu took a deep breath. He carved on walls for distress points, but Lu Xiaoyu did so specifically to target him…

All the words were then removed by Corpsedog. Lu Shu was happy, no one else could see those negative comments about him!

At this moment, he stopped short at another line. “Lu Xiaoyu will protect Lu Shu for a lifetime”.

Suddenly, waves of emotions welled up from the depth of Lu Shu’s heart, but he could not explain why. It felt like some long-lost feelings had surfaced yet again.

Usually, Lu Shu seldom expressed his feelings, as he viewed it as a waste of time and energy in this hard life. He would never put his reliance on Lu Xiaoyu into words and he felt ashamed to do so.

But at the moment, a white dolphin sprang across the waves, joyfully, breaking the silence that had shrouded the ocean for an eternally long time. Actually, Lu Xiaoyu had said it to him before. Back then, she said she would awaken to her powers to protect Lu Shu, as he was too weak to be a Metahuman.

At that time, Lu Shu only took it as the little girl’s innocent joke. Ever since his power awakening, he thought that sentence would slowly fade away from Lu Xiaoyu’s mind as time went by.

For years, it was always him that was protecting Lu Xiaoyu and never had he thought about Lu Xiaoyu’s true feelings about it. Yet, that promise was still on her mind.

It was a long time ago. On the bus, Lu Shu had just foolishly inserted a 5-yuan note into the slot instead of 1-yuan. When he tried to explain to the bus driver, the latter shirked by claiming not to see it with so many people around. In fact, Lu Shu knew that he was the one to blame, not the driver. Thus, instead of showing his ill temper, he suffered a bad appetite due to his anger to himself. In those days, Lu Shu was a lone miser who would even argue over five yuan. He had just finished his first month of work at a barbecue stall, and was eager to meet Lu Xiaoyu with his first salary.

In this world, no one had ever promised to protect Lu Shu, except Lu Xiaoyu.

Upon seconds thought, Lu Shu carved another line of small letters below. “Thank you. Lu Shu will protect Lu Xiaoyu for a lifetime too.”

Wandering in the lower reaches of the river, Li Xianyi saw the water turning bright red. Just a while ago, the river was still normal, but now it reeked of blood. Li Xianyi was certain, something must have happened upstream.

His instincts had already told him that this place was an oddity when he slaughtered Inferno Blood Devil. To him, it was an unrighteous practice to sacrifice human Practitioners for improvement of devils’ powers. A downright heresy!

In fact, he had seen such things a long time ago. But at that time, it was not Blood Devils that the altar was feeding.

The reason for Li Xianyi’s decision to act solo was that he had experienced deja vu with many features of these remains. Casting aside the agreement of non-involvement of Class A’s in the competition for the relic, he must find out the truth behind them all.

The worst nightmare of the Golden Foundation seemed to be looming over the horizon with the onset of the pinnacle of Spirit Qi regeneration.

At the end of the river was a stone wall as tall as a few people stacked together. Complicated patterns sprawled the surface of the door, looking like some bizarre symbols. At the moment, blood flowed into the door started wriggling along the lines like worms.

Meanwhile, the river of blood flowed to the other side from underneath the door. It seemed that the end of it laid across the door.

With a cold sneer, Li Xianyi imbued mana into his white jade sword. In the next instant, hundreds of beams of sword energy banged on the door, breaking its patterns into pieces. The entire structure collapsed into a pile of powder.

Inside was a gigantic cavern, similar to the one in which Inferno Blood Devil was found except for the fact that this one was even more magnificent.

Li Xianyi’s brow knitted together in astonishment. There were neither altars nor human skeletons here, instead, it was a blood-filled basin into which all the underground river systems converged.

Situated at the center of the basin was a black stone platform, surrounded by a pool of boiling blood. A giant stone coffin was placed on the platform, with an Inferno Blood Devil kneeling on the ground in front.

At the moment, the bottom of the coffin had already turned red. It looked as if the Pandora’s box would be open when the entire coffin was soaked in blood.

Fed by the blood basin, this Inferno Blood Devil was far stronger than the one killed by Li Xianyi earlier.

Suddenly, the Blood Devil reared its sinister head towards Li Xianyi, who was still studying the spooky place calmly. No matter how powerful this one was, Blood Devils were Class B’s at most.

But what was inside the coffin? A native spirit of the remains? Dead or alive?

Then, Li Xianyi’s eyes were drawn upwards to the dark dome, where countless gargoyles were hanging upside down in their slumber. More than ten of them had already turned red.

The old man frowned again. It would not be nice to have over ten newly groomed Class B Blood Devils here.

Flapping its blood-red wings, the Inferno Blood Devil soared into the air. But, it was intellectual enough not to confront Li Xianyi head-on. Instead, it suddenly punctured its heart with its claws. Then, large volumes of blood splashed out from its wound onto the stone coffin. It actually sacrificed itself for the thing inside the coffin!

Certainly, the spirit inside was at least a Class A.

As the Inferno Blood Devil fell down, thundering, the lid of the coffin was sliding open by an invisible force!
