Chapter 738
“He’s purposely making a mystery out of a simple thing,” Wang Yan whispered . She did not dare to speak loudly, lest Lu Shu hear her . But everyone else heard her . Wang Zhe had left . The rest did not dare to go back by themselves . They could only rely on this mysterious young man for now . They dared to complain and grumble angrily in private, but they did not dare to question him directly .

They were slightly puzzled . Why did Zhang Yanfeng suddenly follow this young man’s lead? Even if the secret practitioner disappeared, he was just a Class D . Did Lu Shu not also run away back then when they encountered the bear?
At least the facilities in the base were rather complete . Heavy snow was falling outside, but it was very warm inside . Everyone could only wait .
Lu Shu went out to patrol everyday, but he never found Wang Zhe . It was as if after that night, even Wang Zhe had vanished into thin air .
On the third day after they reached the base, Zhang Yanfeng woke up and stared in the direction they had come from . For some reason, he was silently expecting something .
Lu Shu said that his team mates would arrive today . Zhang Yanfeng wanted to know whether Lu Shu was boasting . If they really arrived today, he would be able to have a definite idea of Lu Shu’s strength .
Wang Yan and the rest had been stuck here for three days . They had no phone signal, and could not advance . They had found a deck of poker cards here, but more than ten cards were missing . How could they play cards?
They wanted to use pieces of paper to replace the missing cards, but they could not play this way . Everyone would know what cards they were . After one day, they decided to just play . It was better than nothing… but they realized that there was not even a single piece of paper in the entire base!
“Hey, when will we be able to go back?” Someone complained, “I’m going crazy!”
Lu Shu thought about it . “Do you want me to tell you a story?”

“No need, no need…” Someone quickly stopped Lu Shu .
Lu Shu looked at everyone and paused for two seconds . He then took out poker cards from his pocket . “These are the cards you are missing . Do you want to buy them? One for 100 dollars . ”
“From Zhang Yanfeng’s distress, +666!”
“From Wang Yan’s distress, +666!”
“From Li Kang’s…”
Everyone was puzzled . Earlier, Lu Shu was the first person to discover this base . But the problem was, why did you not take the entire stack of poker cards away when you discovered them? Why did you have to take out a few cards before putting the rest back?
What were you doing?! Was it even humanly possible to come up with such a crazy method to earn money?!
Everyone haggled with Lu Shu for a long time . Finally, they bought back the remaining cards for 88 dollars per piece . Lu Shu shoved the money in his pocket and said to Zhang Yanfeng, “I’m going on patrol . ”
Zhang Yanfeng numbly nodded . He suddenly remembered that after a drink with Wang Zhe, Wang Zhe told him that he had provoked an enemy in the mainland . He was the Venerable, a celebrated figure among the secret practitioners .

Back then, Wang Zhe had taken away one of the Venerable’s magical stones . He used the magical stone as capital and brought in training resources from overseas to reach his current strength . But he did not dare to go back to the mainland .
According to Wang Zhe, the Venerable seemed very amiable, he was a good thief . His harsh words also often pissed people off .
Zhang Yanfeng suddenly thought, why was this young man so similar to the Venerable?
Lu Shu walked off . Zhang Yanfeng tidied up the canned food by the door . This hiking trip was different from those in the past . He had to gather and arrange the resources that they could use .
At that moment, Zhang Yanfeng saw a few black dots approaching them at high speed from far away . At first, Zhang Yanfeng thought that wild animals had come to attack them, but this was not the case .
The black dots were humans . They wore black raincoats and ran towards the base . Zhang Yanfeng had seen these raincoats before . They were part of the standard attire of the Heavenly Network!
Zhang Yanfeng was dumbfounded . Lu Shu’s team mates had arrived on time . Zhang Yanfeng felt that he knew who Lu Shu was . To be honest, he had guessed in the past, but rejected the idea .
The Heavenly Network was of a high standing within the local realm of cultivation . Zhang Yanfeng had never thought that he would be able to travel with experts from the Heavenly Network .
Lu Xiaoyu and the rest ran over . They kicked up the snow with their fast movements . It was like a scene in the movies .

The people in the base also walked out to witness this scene . The moment they stepped out, Lu Xiaoyu and the rest had already reached the door of the base .
Cao Qingci calmly observed her surroundings . Her hand was hidden under her raincoat . If Lu Shu was here, he would be able to see that Nie Ting had a similar habit . The hand hidden in her raincoat was definitely holding a knife .
Cao Qingci had officially taken Nie Ting as her teacher .
Wang Yan suddenly asked, “You are…”
There was the logo of the Heavenly Network on their raincoats, but they were not quite certain .
Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan did not speak . They looked at Lu Xiaoyu . To everyone’s surprise, the youngest member was speaking on behalf of the team . Even Luo Nan did not interrupt her .
Lu Xiaoyu coldly asked, “Auntie, where is Lu Shu?”
“From Wang Yan’s distress, +888!”
Zhang Yanfeng said, “Are you his team mates? He went to the Gate to Hell to check the situation . He should return in two hours . ”
Suddenly, Cao Qingci said, “A pack of wolves is approaching . ”
Everyone looked around . Wolves? They did not see any .
The mounds around the base had been covered by the heavy snow . Everything was white . After one minute, someone saw a pack of wild wolves in the southeast . They were slowly approaching the base .
Wang Yan and the rest were frightened . They hurriedly ran back into the temporary building . Zhang Yanfeng took out his knife and was ready to fight .
“42 of them,” said Cao Qingci .
The pack of wolves slowly surrounded them . It was as if they were already certain of victory . The people in the temporary building looked out of the window and saw the wolves approach them . But Lu Xiaoyu and the rest had no signs of movement .
The wolves came within ten meters of the base . They looked like they had been frightened and wanted to run away . Suddenly, they silently looked in Lu Xiaoyu’s direction and lay down on their stomachs .
Lu Xiaoyu was very calm . She could control Naughty Pig, Big Cat and Little Fury . These wild wolves, who had not even reached Class D, were nothing to her .
“We’ll be able to use these specimens for quite some time,” said Chen Zuan happily .
