The jeep headed northward with only Lu Shu and Chen Zuan on board, because the rest had entered the remains the next day of Lu Shu’s return.
The wheels of the jeep sent waves of sand flying in the air. On either side of the car, the wind eroded landscape was strangely peculiar. No wonder the place was described as unusual, as the landforms itself reminded the visitors of the mythical inferno.
“Brother Shu, what do you expect of the remains this time?” Chen Zuan asked curiously.
“There could be thunderbolts that strike people,” Lu Shu replied from the rear seat, with his eyes closed.
“... Don’t bear grudges. I simply said the wrong things. By the way, do you think they are close to the relic? It’s been nine days since the first group went into the remains.”
“There could be thunderbolts that strike people,” said Lu Shu calmly.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +999!”
Sometimes Lu Shu felt that there was more freedom overseas. No matter how comfortable he felt verbally attacking Chen Zuan, it was this little fatty who carried him out of the hole back then. Hence, he should not be too mean to him either.
However, if it was not Chen Zuan, but someone from the Phoenix Society or the Department of Faith Theory, a real fight might have already started...
Take that military doctor for example, how could Lu Shu fight someone who attended to the injured at the campsite?
Therefore, even his earning of distress points was easier abroad. Unlike other people, Lu Shu’s pissing off others was out of his own needs.
At this moment, there was still another half to go before the complete ignition of the seventh star in his third layer of the celestial map. Distress points were absolutely necessary for his training progress.
Some people might wonder why Lu Shu seemed to have no need to practice, while in fact he trained mostly at night and his ridicule was a form of practice as well.
Just like the others, he was eager to truly ascend to Class B as well!
But now, it was already so difficult to climb to the third layer. If everybody on Earth could contribute one distress point, and there were seven billion of them, he could ascend to...
Lu Shu started the mental calculation...
Going overseas might be an excellent choice. For instance, he could have gained loads of resources from the South American ruins not long ago, even its relic. Lu Shu decided to create a good plan for his future cultivation journey after the Lop Nur adventure.
The vehicle suddenly came to a stop. The driver eyed the thick fog in front and turned to speak to Chen Zuan and Lu Shu, “Gentlemen, you’ll have to cover the remaining distance on foot.”
Lu Shu opened the door and gazed at the remains. “Let’s go.”
He was worried about Lu Xiaoyu. In the recent days, there were no changes on the page of distress points gained by Lu Xiaoyu. He wondered what was going on.
Chen Zuan followed closely behind. “Brother Shu, please, please help me when we go inside!”
“Our positions inside are randomly arranged, so I can’t help you even if I want. But rest assured. I will protect you when we meet.” After Lu Shu finished speaking, he walked into the remains resolutely.
In the next instant, Lu Shu realized he was surrounded by a vast, endless world. He found it hard to stand still, not because the ground was shaky, but it was too slippery!
To his astonishment, the world that appeared in front of him was floored by a flat, smooth mirror, reflecting his own image.
The sky was blue, just like the outside world. In the distance, the border between the horizon and the sky was relaxing and uplifting.
This world was so odd! The previous remains had at least ground consisted of soils or stones, a familiar geographical configuration as the human world. But it was totally different here!
Lu Shu tried hard to maintain his balance so as not to slip.
At this moment, he felt a wave behind him. Then, Chen Zuan emerged out of the air.
Lu Shu was dumbfounded.
The chances of them being transported to the same place was expected to be extremely low, but here they were!
Upon the sight of Lu Shu, Chen Zuan laughed out loud in pleasant surprise. Immediately he slipped on the floor and stopped only five meters away from Lu Shu...
“What is this, Brother Shu!” Chen Zuan wanted to support his body with his arms, but his hands slipped on the floor again and he fell on his face!
Lu Shu studied the surroundings. Did the previous batches encounter the same situation as well? Tough game, man.
“Brother Shu, lend me your hand, please! I can’t stand up!” Chen Zuan called for help.
Lu Shu was amused by Chen Zuan slipping on the floor with different gestures. “Look, I’m standing here quite still.”
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”
Frustrated, Chen Zuan pleaded, “I know, I know. Then help me...”
Lu Shu grinned. “I think there’s something wrong with your cerebellum. It can’t keep your balance.”
As he spoke, he walked towards Chen Zuan. But Lu Shu slipped too when he just came close to Chen Zuan, giving the latter a hard kick...
Chen Zuan was dumbstruck.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +999!”
As a result, Chen Zuan slipped a few tens of meters on the frictionless surface...
“Brother Shu...” Chen Zuan lay on the mirror floor, desperation on his face, “You did it intentionally, didn’t you...”
“Well, err, it was an accident.” Lu Shu punched the floor, and a piece of mirror cracked open below his fist.
When the ground was no longer that slippery, Lu Shu stood up. Chen Zuan’s eyes brightened up at the scene. “Genius, Brother Shu! No one could have thought of that!”
Upon the appearance of the man-eating lizards a few days ago, Lu Shu jumped off the vehicle when Chen Zuan and the rest were waiting for it to stop. Now, when other people subconsciously accepted the structure of this new world, Lu Shu knew in his heart that he could change it.
Undeniably, instincts were very important. They might even play a crucial role between two rivals of similar abilities.
Chen Zuan copied Lu Shu and threw his fist onto the mirror. With a loud bang, the mirror was unharmed, but Chen Zuan’s fist almost broke into pieces...
“Why is it so hard?!” Chen Zuan shrieked in pain. He then realized that Lu Shu’s strength was way above his!
Hence, it would still be useless even if he was equipped with the same kind of superpower instincts as Lu Shu. While Lu Shu could break the floor with one punch, Chen Zuan had to try multiple times...
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666...”
Lu Shu stood on the shards. He could feel the hardness of the mirror, as every punch of his could only shatter a small piece.
He walked towards Chen Zuan, breaking the mirror floor underneath him with every step. “I don’t have enough energy to break the floor like this wherever we go. Let’s think about other alternatives.”
In fact, Lu Shu was wondering how other Daoyuan Class students dealt with the situation which was difficult even for him...
