Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Three days apart, and the sight of you is unbearable (Part 3)

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
While Lu Shu was escaping, he thought- in this remain, you could not just go wherever you wanted but it was necessary to research and think about the places you could and couldn’t go…
During his encounter with the green wolves, he saw that the land in a distant was covered in mist, similar to when the remains first opened. Thinking about it, that must be the border of the remains.
No matter how much Lu Shu didn’t wish to face the truth, he had to admit- he was running the wrong direction and reached the borders!
It was obvious that the good stuff was at the heart of the remains!
He started to sprint at full speed towards the direction he came from, passing by the location of his and Chang Hengyue’s battle. There was a group of vultures feeding on him… Lu Shu suppressed his emotions, he did not want to end up like Chang Hengyue.
Lu Shu felt that he needed to live, to go back to Lu Xiaoyi. He had a sudden desire to turn around and try to escape from the border.
But he also knew that, according to what Jiang Shuyi told him about remains, no one would be able to escape until someone obtained the relic. And so he gave up on that thought.
There was no reason to doubt the many experiences of others entering and exiting remains. And so what if he could escape, his life inside the remains was still better off than most of the others.
Although, right now, his clothes were ragged and his face was covered in dust. He was almost unrecognizable.
There were even holes in the soles of his shoes. Lu Shu felt a slight sting for what had happened to this pair of 40 over dollars sports shoes.
At least he did not encounter any life-threatening incident yet and he wanted to continue seeing just how magical this remain was.
Someone once asked, “what exactly is courage?”
Another person replied, “To not look back.”
Thinking this way was being ignorant. Lu Shu felt that ‘not looking back’ refers to not thinking about your own past, how pathetic your life was or what were the choices you had. It meant that one shouldn’t have thoughts about the difference in your life if you made a different decision back then.
Directly facing the consequences of your own decision was a form of courage.
The pack of wolfs was slowly left behind and out of sight. Lu Shu had not been so pathetic for a long time. During his escape, Lu Shu had accidentally been scratched on his arm by a green wolf. At that moment, he thought that being injured in such a place wasn’t beneficial and immediately bought a refresher fruit and ate it, hoping that he could rely on the refresher fruit’s power to recover faster.
But he was disappointed. Although the refresher fruit could heal any illnesses and even increase aptitude, it had no effect on external injuries.
At least Lu Shu had a fast self-recovery and all he had to do was wait to be fully healed.
He was sprinting frantically when he suddenly experienced something strange. It was similar to when he was practicing his swordplay at Li Xianyi’s. After thousands and thousands of swings, he would feel more natural and efficient at utilizing his full strength.
At this moment, Lu Shu’s strides had a rhythm. It felt like when he first saw Li Xianyi practicing his swordplay, but Li Xianyi was still better.
He suddenly remembered what Li Xianyi told him, that learning swordplay from the basics was to train his vitality, to let him understand the body’s latent abilities. Be it a swing or a stab, there was only one objective- to link and connect everything together.
So if I continue sprinting like this, would that be training vitality?
Slowly, the sole of his shoes had broken apart and was unusable. Lu Shu started running barefooted.
As he ran, he suddenly developed a comfortable feeling while running! The more he ran, the more energized he felt! At this moment, Lu Shu’s exceptional body capabilities had healed his wounds completely and his energy level was at its peak. Lu Shu felt like he was at the top of the world!
In the evening of the second day, he could suddenly hear sounds of people talking behind a slope. It sounded like a dispute and Lu Shu was surprised, could there be people?
After not meeting anyone alive for so many days, Lu Shu was feeling lonely. Human beings are social animals and even if one doesn’t rely on others, human beings’ nature will lead them to places with people.
He climbed up the slope and was shocked to see a group of weak and sick elderlies, pregnant women, and children… Wait no, just weak and sick.
To be more precise, it was a group of daoyuan students in a more pathetic state than himself!
His pathetic state was due to not bathing and having no clean clothes to change into, and even his shoes were gone…
Although he did battle, it didn’t affect him that much and his wounds were already healed.
But this group of people, most of them were injured and Lu Shu could even see a few lying motionless on the ground.
He suddenly noticed someone, who was holding an ax, familiar. These 8 people looked like the ones he saved when he first entered. Wait no, two were different. Those two were Luo Cheng daoyuan students! Lu Shu had the impression that he had seen them before and they were all in such a pathetic state now…
After a mere three days period and it’s already hard to look at them… Lu Shu never thought that his state of appearance could be better than anyone else…
Honestly, Lu Shu had wondered if that group of people died. Or maybe they finally mustered up their courage to protect themselves? Or maybe found a safe location to hide?
He never thought he would meet them again and was rather surprised.
The group of people who were previously quarreling was shocked to notice another disheveled-looking person on the slope, who was also carrying a huge bag and a sword. Only after realizing that it was a person, they relaxed.
Someone managed to recognize Lu Shu under his dirt-covered face and excitedly shouted, “Isn’t this that expert?!”
“Seems like it’s really him!” Someone else also recognized Lu Shu after the reminder. Lu Shu had left them a strong impression when they all just entered the remains.
While everyone was trembling with fear, Lu Shu was already fighting calmly against the skeletons and even threw away that unusual-looking ax.
In their hearts, Lu Shu was an amazing figure and many of them regretted not keeping Lu Shu with them. If not, the group of over ten people wouldn’t have been reduced to 8.
The male student carrying that ax remembered that the piece of land Lu Shu came from was where they were crushingly defeated. The seemingly endless land was filled with countless skeletons and they had just retreated from there.
He asked tactfully, “Expert, is it just you?” In his mind, he thought that no matter how powerful Lu Shu was, he couldn’t have made it across that piece of land. Even if he did, he couldn’t be alone. Could he have met up with the heavenly network? Within the hearts of the students, their greatest savior would be the heavenly network.
As Lu Shu didn’t really like this group of people, he said laughingly, “that’s right, it’s just one of me. I was afraid I’d scare you if I came as just half of me.”
“From Zhao Yu’s distress, +182!”
