Chapter 595: Distress Points from Unlocking a MysteryTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Shu felt that the Cheng Ying sword was very good. If the mastermind did not know about its presence from the beginning, he would not be able to trick this Class B man-eating lizard,
If the mastermind continued to hide, Lu Shu had no choice but to scare him further.
Suddenly, Lu Shu realized that the man-eating lizards started to retreat. How could this be!
A man-eating lizard was a complete weapon. Lu Shu only defeated the lizards because he had exhausted his methods. This did not mean that he did not have the ability to continue fighting. This meant that he had no more cards to play!
After putting in so much effort, how could he let so many weapons… no. How could he let so many lizards run off? The volume of his mystic water had increased from a swimming pool to that of a lake with just this battle!
The lizards ran away in a very orderly manner. They did their best to run away in all directions to escape Lu Shu the murderer.
Lu Shu was shocked. So that massive lizard controlled the rest of the lizards?!
This made sense. Lu Shu grew more cautious. He admitted that when he had killed the Class B lizard, he had become more relaxed. If the lizards launched another hidden attack, he would most likely be in danger.
He swiftly checked his system’s back end for a clue. If the lizard was an intellectual creature, it would have produced distress points.
As expected, Lu Shu saw a string of words in the records. “From Fallen Lizard’s distress, +999!”
He knew that although the lizard was called a fallen lizard, the one that had carried out a sneak attack on him was different. That lizard only produced +1 distress point.
This was very frightening. If the lizard with no intellect had reached Class B, then what class was this lizard?
Lu Shu was very aware of his own abilities. While he pursued more man-eating lizards, he paid close attention to his surroundings. Concealed Arrow and Corpsedog had also returned to him.
Lu Shu wanted to protect his life more than he wanted to behead even more lizards. Lu Shu was even apprehensive then. Thus, he prioritized killing the lizards who were running towards the exit.
As Lu Shu chased the lizards, he felt that something was wrong. He suddenly realized that although the man-eating lizards were running in all directions, they all avoided the direction the chaos snakes initially wanted to go in.
The lizards were being used to bait him. Did the mastermind not want to bump into him?
If the mastermind was a higher being, there was no need for them to fear Lu Shu, right? As Lu Shu thought about this, he suddenly changed his plan. He charged towards his initial direction at full speed. He paid attention to the distress points in the system’s back end as he controlled the mystic water.
As expected, when Lu Shu suddenly changed direction, distress points reappeared!
“From Fallen Lizard’s distress, +299!”
“From Fallen Lizard’s distress, +310!”
The distress points increased as time passed. There could be pitfalls in military strategies, but distress points were real reactions. There was no way that they could be wrong! In this fight, distress points guided Lu Shu!
The man-eating lizards, who initially ran in all directions, suddenly changed direction to block Lu Shu. But it was as if they were sending him off. If the lizards arrived at the same time as he did, he would have to put in some effort in fending them off. But since the lizards were running in all directions, by the time they came to block Lu Shu, they would not be able to put up an effective defense. They were just here to send Lu Shu off and provide the mystic water with some appetizers.
It seemed like the opponent was becoming more and more desperate. Lu Shu was puzzled. Since they knew that they were being chased, and they did not want to encounter Lu Shu, would it be sufficient for them to just run away? Why send so many man-eating lizards to block him?
The volume of mystic water continued to increase. Lu Shu felt that his journey had not been made in vain. This was worth almost a thousand weapons outside. The volume of mystic water was approaching to that of a lake!
If he had to engage in combat overseas, he could just release a wave of mystic water and drag his opponents to fight him underwater. He would be at an advantage wherever he went!
Earlier, when the dozens of lizards had charged towards him, Lu Shu was somewhat nervous. But now, having defeated a hundred lizards in one go, he was no longer panicked.
He continued heading towards the exit. The chaos snakes cruised ahead of the mystic water, overly excited.
The man-eating lizards came forth. It was as if they had gone mad and gave it their all to block Lu Shu.
“From Fallen Lizard’s distress, +999!”
The cavern in front of Lu Shu suddenly opened up. He saw a gigantic man-eating lizard in front of him. The lizard was black and it towered over Lu Shu like a tall building. To speak the truth, this was the first time Lu Shu had seen such a big animal. It was like a dinosaur!
The lizard’s eyes were bloodshot. Its pupils were as thin as a chaos crevice. It seemed very fierce, but…
Five golden pillars pierced through its four limbs and its tongue, fixing it to the ground and not allowing it to move…
“No wonder you were so desperate. So you can’t run away…” Lu Shu sighed. “Bro, who was so ruthless to trap you here… even your tongue is nailed down. What in the world happened…”
“From Fallen Lizard’s distress, +999!”
The man-eating lizard could actually speak. “You…”
Lu Shu interrupted him and continued to sigh. “You are really amazing. Even after being nailed down like this, you still survived for a thousand years. You can still speak even though your tongue is nailed down… bro, you’re amazing!”
“From Fallen Lizard’s distress, +999!”
Lu Shu could not sense any waves of energy from the lizard. Thus, Lu Shu thought that these five golden pillars could block waves of energy.
To speak the truth, Lu Shu was surprised. He did not know when this fallen lizard had been trapped here. Lu Shu felt that it could have been a long time ago. But the person who had trapped the lizard here could just kill the problem at its source. Why didn’t they do so?
In movies, creatures were often locked up because they could not be killed. Lu Shu felt that this did not make sense. If you were able to lock up the creature, you would be able to slowly kill the creature, right? Since the creature was immobilized, you could take your time to kill it. Honestly, he had not watched many movies with such content, so he could not quite understand this logic.
At least for the massive lizard in front of him, Lu Shu felt that it was not as easy as locking the lizard up because it could not be killed. If it could not be killed, then why was it panicking?
Lu Shu felt that the person who had cruelly nailed the lizard here most likely detested the lizard. Thus, he had locked it up here to torture it…
