Chapter 734: Demon King Who Spoils The Mood

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On their first day in the Kunlun Mountains, Lu Shu and the rest encountered a wild yak. This was their first time encountering an animal that attacked humans.

Yaks were usually herd animals that did not attack other species. But wild yaks were different. Hikers were most afraid of encountering them in the wild. The yaks were merciless.

Lu Shu stood far away. He had no intention of making a move. This yak was a Class F, which was higher than that of the mutated animals in the city. But Wang Zhe was a Class D. Lu Shu wanted to see if the magical stone he had stolen had any effect.

But Lu Shu was disappointed. Wang Zhe had no decent weapons. A German spade was his best weapon. Earlier, Zhang Yanfeng and the rest had boasted that they carried hunting guns, but Lu Shu saw nothing of the like…

How disappointing…

Wang Zhe easily killed the wild yak. As the group was about to advance, Lu Shu said he needed the toilet. He went back to where the wild yak was and tossed its corpse into the Seal of Lands.

After all, he was still a species research student. Although he had come here to humiliate Nie Ting, it was not like Lu Shu to come back empty-handed.

Furthermore, all the students in the specialization depended on one another. He could not discount everyone of their techniques.

They continued on. Lu Shu realized that the only female in the team received more attention. Under normal circumstances, they would simply stuff some food into their mouths for lunch. But this lady was more refined. If she wanted to eat porridge, they would stop and wait for her.

A group of uncles were in the wilderness, but had not encountered any danger. They were willing to show their gentlemanliness.

Being able to drink a bowl of porridge in a place like this was heavenly. Her husband even carried a small bag of rice around.

Zhang Yanfeng and the rest were slightly envious. Except Lu Shu…

That afternoon, the lady called Wang Yan cooked a small pot of porridge. Lu Shu took out two pears from his bag. They were big and juicy. One bite and the juice almost flowed down Lu Shu?s chin.

?From Zhang Yanfeng?s distress, +166…?

?From Wang Yan?s…?

All of them looked as Lu Shu ate a pear in this weather. They almost drooled. They could not believe that he had brought so many fruits here!

Lu Shu had just given away two apples. Everyone suspected that Lu Shu had lived in comfort all his life, thus he had no common sense.

Wang Yan pursed her lips as she cooked her porridge. She was treated the best out of all the members in the group. Everyone envied how much her husband doted on her. But no matter how delicious the porridge was, nothing could beat eating fruits here.

?Go and ask him whether he?s selling the fruits.? Wang Yan poked her husband?s waist using her elbow.

Her husband walked towards Lu Shu. Before he could open his mouth, Lu Shu spoke. ?One for 5000 dollars.?

?From Wang Yan?s distress, +666!?

?From…?

Zhang Yanfeng was dumbfounded. He was not here to hike. He was here to sell fruits!

Wang Zhe furrowed her eyebrows. ?He?s not going to disappear after selling all his fruits, is he??

?I also suspect that he might do so…?

In the end, Wang Yan did not buy Lu Shu?s pears. Who would be so dumb? After this conflict, all the more did they not want to talk to Lu Shu.

Someone whispered, ?With so many fruits, he definitely doesn?t have enough rations. Ha ha, I have never heard of anyone who has been able to carry so many fruits and finish the hike. Let him suffer.?

At night, Lu Shu took out another two pears…

This was his first time discovering that he could earn distress points just by eating fruits…

In the afternoon, they countered many skeletons of wild animals on the way. This was normal. But encountering a pack of wolves and footprints of a bear near water sources made them slightly scared.

Zhang Yanfeng and the rest were experienced. Lu Shu did not expect them to have brought fishing nets.

A large fishing net was propped up by hiking poles around the camping ground, surrounding the entire camping ground. Zhang Yanfeng sighed and smiled. ?This way, wild animals will not attack the camping ground. This is a tried and tested method. There is no need to set the fishing net too high. Around waist height will do. This will make wolves and bears retreat.?

?I have never seen this before. The groups before this have never done this,? Wang Yan praised.

Zhang Yanfeng was extremely proud. ?Relax. I collect money, but no one has died in my hands. I will always bring everyone back safely.?

Lu Shu looked at Zhang Yanfeng and was suddenly dumbfounded. Even he, an unimportant person, had his pride. In these two days, Lu Shu had realized that in the past, Zhang Yanfeng had led hiking groups. But after the dawn of the magically rich era, wild animals were becoming hard to deal with. Thus, he depended on Wang Zhe.

Although Zhang Yanfeng was greedy for money, he did not take the lives of others lightly.

Of course, Lu Shu felt that even though he could read their expressions, he would never truly know their intentions. He would still have to observe him throughout their journey. After the trip to the Death Valley, everyone would go their separate ways and never gather again.

Humans are highly adaptable creatures who were good at using their brains. This was the reason why humans could dominate the earth. But Lu Shu suddenly thought. If creatures became more intelligent, would they be able to come up with methods like this?

In this kind of place, they would only be able to see the wilderness and wild animals for some time. Humans would grow lonely.

Every night after lighting up the bonfire, team building was very important. Everyone gathered and shared their stories, jokes, or took turns singing.

This was to make everyone feel like they belonged in the team, and were not rejected.

This was like a sea of sand. There were red plants everywhere on the ground. When they looked up, they saw a vast sky, but they were filled with loneliness.

All of them took turns singing, sharing stories or telling jokes. Of course, the uncles would share dirty jokes. Wang Yan acted shy as she listened to them speak.

The atmosphere was very harmonious. When it came to Lu Shu, Lu Shu paused before saying, ?Xiaoming was kept in the dark by his parents for a long time 1 . In the end, he died of suffocation.?

Zhang Yanfeng was speechless.

Wang Zhe was silent.

Suddenly, there was an awkward silence…

Lu Shu was not done. He continued, ?Xiaoming had just blown out the candle flame. Before he could make a wish, he was chased out of the mourning hall…?

?Ahem.? Zhang Yanfeng stood up. ?It?s late. Everyone, deal with the blisters on your feet and go to sleep…?

Lu Shu was sad as he saw everyone else retreat for the night. Why did they not let him finish his story?

Wang Zhe suddenly had a feeling… that he had encountered Lu Shu before. Lu Shu felt just like the person he was most worried about. But the problem was, Wang Zhe had seen that person?s face before. Thus, he did not think too much about it.
