Chapter 735
It was the second morning in the Kunlun Mountains now . Lu Shu walked out of his tent, fully rejuvenated, after a song of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star . Problems like blisters would bother the commoners, but not him…

For some reason, Lu Shu felt that his Twinkle Twinkle training was more effective here .
That day, they continued to move forward along the desert . They saw countless wild camels, horses and donkeys that had mutated but were not aggressive towards them . There were trails of animal footprints along the cliff, and humans could walk there too .
Generally speaking, Lu Shu would capture a few mutated creatures and stuffed them into his Seal of Lands as long as he had the opportunity to do so . In any case, those samples were of significant value for the Species Research of Luo Shen Cultivation College…
On the fifth day in Kunlun Mountains, there was a drastic decrease in altitude . Conversely, plants gradually increased in height . Lu Shu even encountered a bush as tall as a person .
By then, Lu Shu’s personality had become well established in the team – anti-social, not gullible at all, yet surprisingly he was one of the strongest members of the team despite his fragile-looking appearance .
By the fifth day, most people were suffering from cracking lips . Furthermore, they more or less showed signs of fatigue when marching under the sun . But Lu Shu seemed perfectly fine…
Besides, he could still survive on one fruit per day for supply of water and vitamins…
Zhang Yanfeng was a tad confused . It appeared that Lu Shu would never yield in front of the hardships although he looked rather weak .
Usually, the following types of people were the least-welcomed in walking expeditions, the latecomers, the defiant, the weak and the arrogant who expected the leader to serve him .

But when it came to Lu Shu, Zhang Yanfeng had to swallow all of Lu Shu’s unpleasant traits just for the money .
It seemed viable to rob him straightaway, but most people did not dare to breach the law as they were not felonious robbers anyway .
After they climbed over a sand hill, Wang Zhe, who was leading the team, suddenly lowered his body and motioned everyone to silence . When everyone obeyed, he craned his neck and looked towards the other side of the hill .
“Why?”
Wang Zhe almost jolted in shock . Then, he turned to see Lu Shu’s face beside him…
Lu Shu craned his head to see a gigantic bear, almost as big as two bulls . There were no such monstrous creatures in the commoner’s world . No wonder Wang Zhe was scared .
To Lu Shu’s consternation, the energy waves from the bear was at least those of Class E . Yet, it was found just two days’ walk away from Death Valley . So what on Earth was inside the Valley?
“How?” Zhang Yanfeng asked, interested in the profits obtainable from the bear . If they could kill it, they would earn a great fortune from its fur, paws and gallbladder .
Lu Shu glimpsed at Zhang Yanfeng in contempt . The Heavenly Network had given him information regarding mutated bears . In Northern China, bears were caged and kept for their gallbladder . A tube was cruelly inserted into their gallbladder through their mouth .

Then, in the magical era, bears mutated . Moreover, their ascension was rather rapid . In no time, the bears slaughtered all the workers of the gallbladder factory .
And this bear they were facing was even stronger . It was a Class E . In the team, no one else, except Lu Shu himself and Wang Zhe, had a winning chance against the bear .
“Let’s hide here, behind the hill,” said Wang Zhe, “Hopefully it will get attracted away by other animals . ”
However, at this very moment, Wang Yan, her husband and three other young members of the group had already fled downhill . In the flurry, Wang Yan was tripped by a broken branch on the ground . Her scream was sharp and loud!
The grizzly bear turned towards the sand hill and stared into Wang Zhe’s eyes . The latter did not dare to move at all . As a result, the two seemed to be gazing at each other with deep emotions .
Beside Wang Zhe, Lu Shu looked at him and the giant bear . After a short pause, he asked, “Is the bear a friend of yours?”
“From Wang Zhe’s distress, +999!”
Drops of sweat slid down Wang Zhe’s cheeks . He could not understand what was in this fellow’s mind . Why the lame joke when their lives were at risk!
Despite being praised all day, Wang Zhe was not a reckless man . He immediately turned and ran .

Lu Shu was disappointed . What a coward!
Meanwhile, the giant bear instantly accelerated towards them . Its fur and blubber trembled violently due to its running motion, and a trail of deep holes was left on the ground under its immense weight .
Nonetheless, Lu Shu was surprised to see Zhang Yanfeng stay . He drew a dagger from his bag and shouted, “Run! I’ll cover you!”
In this situation, humans could never outrun the bear . More deaths were inevitable if no one stood out to sacrifice himself . Lu Shu could not understand Zhang Yanfeng’s intentions of this act . Was he not merely a greedy gangster?
Immediately Lu Shu ran downhill, pulling Zhang Yanfeng along by his collar . As Wang Zhe prepared to run, he was tripped by Lu Shu’s leg as the latter seemingly unintentionally extended his leg before he took to his heels . Wang Zhe must show more effort since he had pocketed Lu Shu’s money! Moreover, Lu Shu had yet to reason with him regarding the problem of that magical stone .
In fact, Lu Shu did not have to make him an enemy over just one magical stone . But in order to live a good life, he would not give up on even half a stone .
Then, Lu Shu was reminded that he was an audit student… Screw you, Nie Ting .
In any case, Lu Shu was not that cold-hearted . Two strands of Sparrow Shade were sent skimming the ground surface towards the chest of the grizzly . In the next instant, the Class E giant bear was stabbed . Although invisible to the onlookers, the cardio-respiratory system of the bear had already started failing .
Left without a choice, Wang Zhe jumped to his feet and attacked the bear . He had no way to escape when the bear had darted to right in front of him . But this guy was not equipped with any combat skills . He simply rolled on the ground to dodge the slap and attacked back with his German spade occasionally when he got the chance .
Wang Zhe looked pathetic amidst the flying sand . Even a light slap of the bear’s paw could result in a long, gaping wound on Wang Zhe’s body .
At this moment of life and death, Wang Zhe mustered all his courage to fight . He knew that he would be dead if he did not risk his life against the bear!
Then, he threw his spade towards the bear with all his strength . In the next second, the bear was dead, even though there were no fatal wounds…
It died?! Wang Zhe collapsed to the floor absent-mindedly . Why was it such an easy kill…
Nevertheless, he had survived anyway . Suddenly he let out a wild laugh, his face covered in dirt . “I’m unbeatable!”
The rest turned back and were shocked to see the bear dead . At that moment, the five young members of the team thought that their money had been well spent . Practitioners were indeed powerful!
Only Lu Shu stood aside with a calm face . Then, he noticed something strange in Zhang Yanfeng’s expression .
