Chapter 45 - Comparison
“The northern area of the inner circle?”
Lu Yuan confirmed.
“Yes, I heard it’s near an ant nest. I’m not sure where it is exactly. I heard it from someone when I was setting up my stall.”
Li Luo said.
Lu Yuan nodded.
“I see. Thank you for telling me this.”
“Hahaha, Mr. Lu, you’re too kind. You’re a big client of mine right now … If you get any treasures from the ruins, it’d be best if you could sell them to me.”
Lu Yuan smiled, “If there are any gains, I will consider it. Then I’ll go over and take a look. ”
Lu Yuan bid farewell to Li Luo and was about to leave when he heard someone calling him from behind.
“Big Boss Lu Yuan! Brother Yuan!”
Lu Yuan turned around in confusion and saw Zhuo Ming running towards him.
Behind Zhuo Ming were the guardian warrior and several teammates that Lu Yuan had met last time.
However, compared to the last time, there were two more people in their team this time.
“Brother Yuan, you’re here too? What a coincidence!”
Zhuo Ming laughed.
“It’s quite a coincidence. Did you just come in?”
“We’ve been here for two days. We’ve just come out to replenish our supplies, and we’re about to go in again.”
“Black Knight Lu Yuan, we meet again.”
At this moment, the guardian warrior also walked over with his teammates and reached out his hand to Lu Yuan.
“I didn’t have time to introduce myself last time. My name is Grimm, and as you can see, I’m a guardian warrior.”
Lu Yuan reached out and shook hands with Grimm. “My name is Lu Yuan.”
“Hahaha, you don’t need to introduce yourself. I’ve heard a lot of rumors about you in the market these days.”
Grimm laughed and looked at Lu Yuan with surprise.
“The last time we met, I already felt that your strength was extraordinary. I didn’t expect you to make a name for yourself so quickly. I’ve been in the Sandcliff Underground Palace for a few years, but I haven’t made a name for myself yet. ”
Grimm’s teammates were also looking at Lu Yuan curiously.
During this period of time in the market, one of the topics of discussion was this Black Knight.
After all, it was rare to see a genetic warrior who could kill hundreds of berserk beasts every day.
He didn’t expect to see him here.
Hearing Grimm’s words, Zhuo Ming also thought of something and looked at Lu Yuan,”
“Brother Yuan! Aren’t you a little too strong? I heard from the people in the market that you can bring back a few hundred materials every day? Then wouldn’t you have to kill hundreds of fierce beasts every day? Aren’t you too absurd? Sis Xiangxiang said that you’re a genius, but she definitely didn’t expect you to become so strong so quickly. ”
Lu Yuan laughed. “I have the advantage of being a guardian. After all, I have a strong defense. It’s not easy for me to encounter danger.”
“I’m also a Guardian,” Grimm said with a bitter smile. “Why do I feel like we’re not warriors of the same class?”
His teammates were all laughing.
“Captain, if you can be like the Black Knight, then you’ll have your own name.”
“Captain, you have to work hard and do your best. Try to get a title like White Knight or Gray Knight.”
The relationship between this genetic warrior’s team members was obviously quite good. A few of his teammates were laughing and teasing Grimm.
“By the way, Lu Yuan, I have some news here. Do you want to hear it?”
Grimm looked at Lu Yuan with a serious expression.
“What news?” Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows. “What news?”
“We’ve found a small ruin in this area. There are many people planning to go over and take a look. We’re also planning to go over. Do you want to go?”
“You mean the ruins? I’ve just received the news and was just about to go take a look. ”
“That’s good, why don’t we go together?” Grimm smiled.
Zhuo Ming looked at Lu Yuan and said,”
“That’s right, brother Yuan, do you want to go together? There’s more people to take care of. ”
Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded. “That’s good. ”
The number of beasts in the inner circle of the underground palace was more than that in the outer circle, and they were stronger.
Even Lu Yuan had to be careful.
If there was someone with him, he would be able to relieve some of the pressure.
Compared to people he didn’t know, Zhuo Ming and Grimm had worked together once.
Grimm’s strength was not bad.
“With the Dark Knight around, the journey will be much smoother,” Grimm said with a smile.
“Then let’s go.”
The group entered the underground palace again and moved towards the inner circle.
……
Not long after Lu Yuan and his group entered the underground palace, a group of people approached the market.
The leader was a female houndhead human with soft white hair and black leather armor.
It was none other than Bersha Vimm, who had escaped last time.
Behind her, there were more than ten houndhead genetic warriors.
At that moment, Bersha Vimm’s expression was not good, and she said coldly,”
“A bunch of trash! I told you to look for that human, but you’ve been looking for him for so long without any news!”
Next to Bersha Vimm was a black-furred houndhead man.
With a bitter smile on his face, he said, “Third miss, the Gray Stone Forest’s area is too large and the terrain is complex. It’s too difficult to find a human. We’ve already tried our best to find him.”
“Don’t try to find excuses for your incompetence!”
Bersha Vimi shouted.
The black furred dog-headed man’s face stiffened, and he revealed a helpless expression.”
“Yes, third miss, it was my fault.”
“Hmph, but this time, we’ve discovered the ruins. If you can gain something, we can forget about the human matter.”
The black-furred dog-headed man smiled.”
“Third miss, don’t worry. This time, not only have our consortium’s masters been mobilized, I’ve also invited ‘Blood Blade’ Sally and ‘Mad Man’ Li Kan. Even if the other forces receive the news and rush over, I’m afraid they will not be as well prepared as us. This time, we will definitely have a great harvest.”
Bersha Vimi revealed a smile. “I hope you won’t let me down this time.”
Hmph! If I get a good harvest from the remains this time, I’ll be able to have more say in my father’s matters. I won’t be a laughingstock for big brother and second sister.
“Third miss, please be at ease! I definitely won’t let you down this time. ”
The group of people entered the underground palace as they spoke.
……
In the depths of the underground palace.
Lu Yuan and the others advanced in the passage. With a huge shield in hand, Grimm walked in front, followed by Zhuo Ming and the others, and Lu Yuan at the back.
At this moment, Grimm, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his expression changed.
“What?”
He looked down at his feet and found that they were entangled by White Spider silk.
“There’s a situation!”
As soon as he spoke, two huge black spiders about 1.8 meters in height jumped down from the top of the passage in front of Grimm.
The sharp claws were aimed at Grimm’s head.
Grimm hurriedly raised his shield to block.
Thump!
The spider’s sharp claws landed on the shield, and the huge force caused Grimm to take two steps back.
The others also reacted.
“Captain!”
Zhuo Ming and the others held their heavy swords or long knives and looked at the huge underground Spider.
“Pay attention to the ground and burn the spider silk first!”
Grimm said.
Everyone came back to their senses and looked at the ground not far away.
He noticed that there were many White Spider webs on the ground and on both sides of the tunnel.
A delicate golden-haired young man that Lu Yuan did not see last time appeared with a fireball in his hand.
His fireball shot towards the spider web.
The spider web immediately burst into flames.
Seeing the spider silk burning, the two giant spiders screamed and rushed toward the golden-haired young man in anger.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Grimm shifted his body and raised his shield, trying to block the two spiders.
However, as one of the spiders was blocked, the other Spider broke through Grimm’s line of defense and pounced on the blond young man.
Seeing the giant spider pouncing at them, the others ‘expressions changed drastically.
Especially the golden-haired youth.
The underground spider’s speed was too fast. The gene he had engraved was an elemental-type transcendent gene, so there was no special increase in speed. There was no way to dodge it.
The others weren’t that strong either. They could only watch the crypt spider charge at the golden-haired young man with wide eyes.
At this moment, Lu Yuan appeared in front of the golden-haired young man.
He activated his body of black iron and slashed at the giant spider with the huge heavy sword in his hand.
Clang!
The crypt spider’s sharp claws clashed with the heavy sword, producing the sound of metal clashing.
Then, the Crypt Spider shrieked and its huge body took a few steps back.
Tiny cracks appeared on the sharp claws that collided with the beetle’s claw sword.
Lu Yuan was expressionless. He took a step forward and held the heavy sword with both hands. His attacks were like the tide, continuous and surging, slashing out one after another.
The crypt spider shrieked and retreated.
The others watched with wide eyes as Lu Yuan suppressed the crypt spider.
“So, so strong!”
“Is this the strength of a Black Knight?”
“The crypt spider is so big, I’m afraid it has a tempering level of more than 70%. I didn’t expect it to be suppressed by The Dark Knight in a head-on collision!”
While everyone was still in shock, Grimm, who was fighting against another crypt spider, shouted.
“What are you guys doing? Aren’t you going to help?”
The rest of the people came back to their senses and looked in Grimm’s direction.
As a guardian warrior, Grimm could only raise his shield to block the attacks of the crypt spider.
The comparison made them feel a little embarrassed.
His captain looked so weak.
“Coming, captain!”
“Hurry up and help the captain!”
