Free Web NovelChapter 1670: Chapter 1672: Found a Clue
Lu Xiaobu didn’t pause and stepped into the forest.
He couldn’t be bothered to scavenge for spoils.
Because there was nothing to scavenge, anyway.
If there was any wealth, it had long since fled far away; why bother robbing here?
As Lu Xiaobu walked, he scrutinized his surroundings. Though he had already familiarized himself with the area outside, upon truly entering, he realized he had underestimated the environment.
The sky’s blood-red hue made his mind feel somewhat muddled.
There was also an indescribable atmosphere, similar to but not entirely killing intent, seeping into his pores!
This fueled his violent emotions continuously.
Earlier, his swift killing of three people was also due to this influence; otherwise, he hadn’t intended for the middle-aged man outside to witness his power.
However, unprepared for it, the aura had overtaken him, leading him to deliver deadly blows.
But dead is dead; it’s inconsequential now.
Walking on, he soon reached the forest’s depths, where the unknown light grew dimmer, giving the whole forest a sinister atmosphere.
"Swish!"
A sudden whooshing sound appeared behind Lu Xiaobu.
Turning about, he wielded his hand like a knife.
"Pfft!"
The sound of flesh being sliced was heard.
Followed by the thud of a heavy object hitting the ground.
Only then did Lu Xiaobu turn back to look.
It was a rabbit!
The same kind he’d seen at the Secret Realm entrance, kicking other beasts to death and eating meat.
"The beasts here are truly fearless of death."
Lu Xiaobu sighed.
But then he frowned: "That’s not right; how is this animal’s body so sturdy?!"
It’s important to know that the force of his earlier strike was about the same as at the forest entrance.
The previous strike instant-killed three Golden Core Stage.
Yet this time, he hadn’t managed to slice the rabbit in two!
Lu Xiaobu bent down and pinched the rabbit’s corpse on the ground.
It felt like steel!
And this was a dead, unstrained body!
Incredible!
"Could it be that this blood aura not only affects intelligence but also strengthens the body?" Lu Xiaobu speculated.
As he pondered, sounds of a fight suddenly reached his ears from up ahead.
This made Lu Xiaobu raise an eyebrow and decide to investigate.
Soon, Lu Xiaobu saw a familiar figure.
The pampered Young Master he’d said would definitely become a fat sheep, the one whose butler was still shouting at the door.
As expected, the lad had indeed become a fat sheep, being besieged by three red-eyed individuals.
However, the lad was indeed something. Holding onto something unknown, a Shield formed around him, unaffected by the three’s furious barrage.
Wealthy and willful.
Lu Xiaobu shook his head.
He had no intention of getting involved; it didn’t matter to him who won or lost.
Nonetheless.
"Sir, please wait!"
At that moment, the Young Master suddenly spoke, addressing Lu Xiaobu.
Lu Xiaobu’s brows furrowed instantly, displeased—was the young man trying to direct disaster?
Sure enough, the three attackers stopped their assault upon hearing the Young Master’s words, their eyes vigilantly fixed on Lu Xiaobu.
"Don’t look at me; continue the attack." Lu Xiaobu said calmly, "I can help you."
As he spoke, he stomped his foot, vanishing instantly.
Then, to everyone’s astonishment, the Shield that had withstood the siege of three men and remained unruffled crumbled into pieces.
"Bang!"
The Shield shattered, and the Jade Pendant at the Young Master’s waist broke as well!
"Gulp!"
The three attackers swallowed hard.
Looking at Lu Xiaobu, who reappeared as though nothing had happened, a sense of terror surged within them.
A master, definitely a master!
He shattered the Shield with a mere slap?!
What if that slap landed on them?!
Their legs turned weak; they nearly fell to their knees to beg for mercy.
The Young Master was equally dumbfounded!
"Continue." Lu Xiaobu said calmly. "I want eighty percent of the loot."
Upon hearing this, the three robbers were hesitant to act.
They couldn’t figure out the reason behind this.
Evidently, this man could have killed them all and taken everything.
Why was he leaving twenty percent behind?
"Didn’t understand human language?" Lu Xiaobu glanced at the three.
"Understood!"
The three immediately stood straight.
Subsequently, they turned and prepared to attack again.
No matter; adhering to his words meant living longer. As for the share with Lin Run? They didn’t dare think about it!
"Wait, wait, wait!"
The Young Master hastily spoke up: "You’ve misunderstood! It’s a misunderstanding! Although I wanted you to save me, I absolutely didn’t mean to direct disaster!"
Lu Xiaobu casually lit a cigarette, unmoved.
Meanwhile, the trio’s attacks resumed.
The Young Master dodged left and right, crying out, "Really, I’m not trying to direct disaster, I remembered you from the hotel, I know you’re strong, so I’m asking for your help!"
"Moreover, I also know of a few treasure locations here, treasures! There’s even a possibility of a World Tree Seed! I can tell you everything!"
"Hold up." Lu Xiaobu interjected, stopping the three attackers.
Then he squinted at the Young Master: "Are you deceiving me?"
"No! I genuinely know several treasure locations!" The Young Master panted.
He was starting to regret it.
Initially, he thought it was amusing; these were just Golden Core Stage folks, and with so many treasures, how could he not survive?
But upon entering, he realized his butler had been too right.
Though their cultivation levels were the same, the combat ability was worlds apart.
Moreover, this was his third encounter with robbers!
He was nearly moved to tears!
Why were they all targeting him?!
However, what terrified him the most was the temper of this man!
More temperamental than the three waves of robbers combined!
His earlier words did imply a bit of disaster directing, but only a little.
Yet even for that bit, this man directly shattered his Shield with an intent to kill!
Terrifying, utterly terrifying!
Everyone here was crazy, and this man was the Demon King!
"You have one minute to explain." Lu Xiaobu said calmly.
He couldn’t be bothered to threaten, nor was there a need for verbal threats.
The lad’s identity and status were unique; he might actually have clues, so listening wouldn’t hurt.
The Young Master got straight to the point: "Before coming in, I heard a rumor about a few natives entering to hunt treasures. They said there might be a World Tree Seed inside, and I know where they’re heading!"
Lu Xiaobu narrowed his eyes.
World natives had arrived, and more than one?
This man’s words might indeed hold some truth!
Thus, he immediately decided—to take a look!
