The black Kunlun Mountains were covered by the white snow. It looked very beautiful.

Lu Shu lead the way to Death Valley. w.a.n.g Yan and the rest chased after them. “If you go, what are we supposed to do?”

None of them felt safe at all. He had just said that everyone in the base had vanished into thin air! Who would dare to relax there?

Bringing them to Death Valley was even more dangerous.

Lu Shu thought about it and said, “Hm. Then Teacher Luo, stay here and protect them.”

“From Luo Bei’s distress, +499!”

Luo Bei laughed. “I definitely have more experience in the wild. I will be more useful as a member of a team. Why don’t we let Cao Qingci stay here? She is stronger. Even if I stay here, I think we will still face a lot of danger.”

Lu Xiaoyu suddenly said, “Why don’t we go back first? We can send them back before making our next move.”

Lu Shu had an idea. He knew that Lu Xiaoyu understood his glance.

Earlier, Lu Shu had thought that he did not want to enter Death Valley so rashly. But he could not admit that he had the ability to know the names of others. This ability and the celestial map were closely linked. He had always been able to earn distress points and know the real names of others since he started training.

He knew that his life experiences would not be easy. In this ever-changing world, what if people found clues because he exposed some of his special qualities?

Thus, Lu Shu did not want to expose information about his abilities and wanted Lu Xiaoyu to say this. w.a.n.g Yan also gave a good opportunity.

But Lu Shu suddenly realized that Luo Bei dreaded Cao Qingci, a Cla.s.s B expert. If not, why would he want to leave her behind here?

Lu Xiaoyu said, “Why don’t we escort them back and return? After all, it’ll only take a few days. This place is too dangerous. Didn’t you say that Cla.s.s C experts had vanished into thin air? It’s probably not enough to have only one person keeping guard here. No one knows what dangers there are.”

“That’s a waste of time,” said Luo Bei. “We have never seen this blue light above Death Valley. Who knows whether there will be a great discovery if we explore? What if we come back and miss the opportunity? It’s not impossible. If not, Lu Shu and I will go. The rest of you can stay here and protect everyone else.”

Lu Shu was truly dumbfounded. If one did not know that Luo Bei’s ident.i.ty was strange, this would still sound rational. But knowing that there was something odd about his ident.i.ty, Luo Bei actually suggested that he and Lu Shu should enter Death Valley together…

Was Luo Bei targeting him?! Why? Did he expose something about Luo Bei?

Lu Xiaoyu was about to speak, but Lu Shu suddenly said, “Okay, then it’s been decided. Teacher Luo and I will go in and see what’s happening. The rest will wait here.”

From this point onwards, Lu Shu decided to call Luo Bei “Teacher Luo”. He was worried that he would accidentally leak his real name. Lu Shu was very good at handling small details like this.

w.a.n.g Yan and the rest heaved a sigh of relief. They had seen how strong Lu Xiaoyu was. With these experts to protect them, they felt very safe.

They were relieved, but Chen Zuan and the rest were not. Chen Zuan suddenly said, “Brother Shu, I’ll follow you! The rest should be enough to protect everyone!”

w.a.n.g Yan and the others took action. If Chen Zuan stayed here, there would be one more person to protect them.

“Stop him. Don’t let him go with them.”

Suddenly, someone whispered, “Let’s not make any trouble. After all, this fatty doesn’t seem very strong. If he wants to go, let him go.”

Chen Zuan was rendered speechless.

Although a Pract.i.tioners’ sense of hearing was not particularly strong, it was still stronger than ordinary people. Was it was right to say that he did not seem strong just beside him?

Lu Shu calmly said, “Zuan, stay here and protect them.”

“Ha ha.” Chen Zuan laughed coldly. “I won’t protect them! They are like parasites! Why should I protect them? Brother Shu, I will follow you!”

Lu Shu was speechless.

Why are you causing trouble at such a crucial time? Lu Shu had a headache.

“Then let’s bring Zuan along,” said Luo Bei with a smile. “Xiaoyu, Qingci and Qiuqiao here should be sufficient.”

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyu coldly said, “Did I allow you to call me Xiaoyu? Don’t try to be friendly with me.”

“From Luo Bei’s distress, +199!”

Zhang Yanfeng suddenly felt that he had never seen this kind of student-teacher relations.h.i.+p in his entire life…

Lu Shu calmly pondered. He could not reject Luo Bei again. That would be too much. He did not expect Chen Zuan to suddenly cause so much trouble either.

“Okay. Let’s go.” Lu Shu led the way to Death Valley. Chen Zuan and Luo Bei followed behind him. For some reason, Luo Bei was always at the back.

Snowy mountains were tiring for Pract.i.tioners to travel on. The snow was knee-high and they felt as if they were stepping on cotton, cus.h.i.+oning the impact.

The three of them approached the blue light. Suddenly, a giant claw appeared from the blue light and charged towards Lu Shu. Lu Shu did not dodge in time and was. .h.i.t by the giant blue claw.

Chen Zuan quickly tried to save Lu Shu. But he realized that Lu Shu was not with him. He just blankly stood there without moving.

Whoos.h.!.+ Chen Zuan heard the sound of a weapon behind him. He quickly dodged and his Spirit Qi Armor protected him.

Even with his fast reflexes, there was still a cut on his left rib. Chen Zuan was panicking. “Brother Shu? Brother Shu? This fellow is weird! Wake up!”

But Lu Shu continued to stand there without moving. It was as if he had lost consciousness. Had the people who disappeared experienced a similar fate?

Luo Bei laughed. “There’s no use calling him anymore. Once you let your guard down here, it’s irreversible. Sorry, Chen Zuan. The Dragon G.o.d specifically wanted him. I have to kill him.”

He flinched as the cold wind came into contact with his wound. He gasped in shock. “Then… then attack him!”

Chen Zuan was confused. Was it not enough for you to attack Lu Shu? Why did you have to attack me!

At that moment, the snowy ground to the right of Luo Bei suddenly exploded. Another Lu Shu appeared and had a strand of the Sparrow Shade on hand, ready for the kill. But because of the blue light, the Sparrow Shade slowly disappeared!

Lu Shu had been hiding here for one day. The snow had even covered him fully. Back then when he had called Lu Xiaoyu for the first time, he had summoned a clone and left the group. He had secretly made a subst.i.tute!

Everyday, he said that he was going on patrol. But he did not do so. Neither did he enter the Death Valley. Instead, he intentionally created an opportunity for him to escape from their field of view and find a place that was ideal for him to lie in ambush.

He did not fear Luo Bei. He feared the person behind Luo Bei!

Lu Shu had led the way to Death Valley to bring them to where he was waiting in ambush. He also wanted to see what was strange about the blue light.

He had created a clone as a scapegoat. This was Lu Shu’s true potential. He just wanted to see what this “Luo Nan” was planning to do!

But Lu Shu did not expect Chen Zuan to cause him so much trouble…
