"Two yellow orioles singing in the green willow, two egg tarts, do you have them?"
"A group of egrets flying in the blue sky, I and Little Fish eating seafood."
Lü Shu kept muttering his distorted poems along the way. If Li Xianyi, Li Yixiao, and Shi Xuejin were here, they would probably know from whom Lü Xiaoyu had inherited his knowledge of ancient prose. After using up all his savings to light up the fifth star, Lü Shu was in a very good mood, though he felt like he had returned to the time before liberation.
The number of times he could use Dead Dog had increased from one to three, and the duration of the Starry Gauze Robe had increased from half an hour to one hour. The growth of his strength was comparable to that of a pure strength-type Awakened at the intermediate level of Level D. As he progressed in his cultivation, each breakthrough could be regarded as a qualitative change.
At this time, there were no more skeletons on the ground. Lü Shu thought this was good. Otherwise, it would be like stepping on a landmine all day long. Who could stand a skeleton that would suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Lü Shu didn't go far before he began to feel sorry for the fruits he had given away. Why were these students of the Daoyuan Class so disappointing? They were so arrogant at school, but they were all terrified in the face of adversity.
What was the point of cultivating them?
He thought for a while. If the Tengra Earth Net found that the willpower of the students of the Daoyuan Class was essentially different from that of soldiers like Xi Ba and that they had not been tempered, would the Tengra Earth Net come up with a new plan to reforge them?
In fact, not everyone could fight without any psychological barriers as long as they had practiced. Even someone as adaptable as Lü Shu had to sit quietly for a whole day after the battle with Chang Hengyue to figure out many things.
As they continued to move toward the core area of the ruins, the open loess gullies gradually turned into hills and valleys. However, Lü Shu suddenly found that the closer they got to the core area, the more desolate the world seemed to be. The barren ridges and valleys were all empty stones and mud. There were some scattered trees, but all of them were dead, and the trunks of the trees were filled with an abnormal gray color.
Lü Shu raised his head to look at the sky, but there were no signs of any birds.
It was as if something had sucked away all the vitality in the core region. Lü Shu suddenly thought that the Tengra's Earth Net or soldiers that were involved should have prepared food. After all, they were not as inadequately prepared as the Dao Yuan Class students.
This time, the parents of all the Dao Yuan Class students in Yuzhou would probably be unhappy. There would be too many casualties.
At this time, Lv Shu suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves. This alerted him. The sound of horses' hooves coming from the ruins couldn't be from the humans who came with him because there were no horses in the North Immortal Mountain at that time.
However, the sound of horse hooves was right in front of him, and he was walking in this valley. There was no place for him to hide.
Suddenly, a person appeared at the end of the valley. He was covered in a dark color, and his entire body was covered in heavy armor. He was riding a warhorse and holding a long spear in his hand.
At first glance, it was obvious that the long spear was not an ordinary item. From a distance, it felt like it was shining under the sun. It was many times better than the iron sword and axe in Lü Shu's hands …
As soon as the person saw Lü Shu, he suddenly charged at Lü Shu. The sound of horse hooves reverberated throughout the valley. The person had already raised the long spear to his waist and locked it tightly. His whole body and the warhorse, which was also wearing armor, had formed a perfect combination of man and horse!
Lü Shu was shocked. If he were to receive such a fierce attack, he would either die or be seriously injured. However, he could not avoid it!
Compared to the skeletons that had drilled out of the yellow soil, there was a world of difference. It was as if those things were only an appetizer.
In the blink of an eye, the person had already charged in front of Lü Shu. Lü Shu could already see the white bones under the opponent's armor … it was actually a skeleton! The ghastly white bones seemed to have come from the abyss of hell, malevolent and terrifying!
At this moment, the horse arrived! The person arrived! The spear arrived!
The spear, which gathered the tremendous power of man and horse as one, suddenly stabbed towards Lv Shu. Lv Shu pondered for a moment and no longer hesitated. He abandoned the axe and iron sword in his hands, and used both his hands to grab the spear's shaft!
His two arms tightly locked the distance between himself and the spear's tip. The horse continued to gallop forward, while Lü Shu was pushed back continuously. The friction between his feet left deep marks on the ground! Lü Shu's hair and clothes fluttered under the strong wind!
After exchanging blows with Lü Shu, both sides were able to move nearly 100 metres away without suffering any damage. Seeing that, Lü Shu grew furious. Once again, he exerted strength and used both his legs to stabilize the ground, forcefully stopping the horse!
If the skeletons that had drilled out of the yellow soil earlier were around the mid-tier F class, then this skeleton rider, with the help of the warhorse, was already at the peak of E class!
If Lü Shu had not lit up his fifth star, it would have been more difficult for him!
At that moment, the rider ferociously tried to pull out his spear and stab again … however, he was unable to pull it back … his strength was not as great as Lü Shu's!
Lü Shu held onto the spear tightly. How could I let you pull it back? This senior has already thrown away my iron sword and axe. One look and I can tell that this spear is a good item. Do you think I will return it to you?
I, Lü Shu, am not the kind of person who treats money and treasures as dirt, all right!
The rider on the warhorse exerted strength a few times but was unable to pull the spear back. Who would have thought that such a situation would occur?
"Negative emotion points from the scout rider, + 1!"
Seeing this, Lü Shu was shocked. Just like the squirrel and the green wolf, the upper limit of the negative emotion points was 1. This fellow had actually unlocked intelligence!
The two of them were in a stalemate, the warhorse neighing non-stop. In the end, the rider was unable to retrieve the spear no matter what. What the f * ck! If you want to fight, then fight! Why do you have to snatch something!
All of a sudden, Lü Shu heard the sound of hooves coming from outside the valley. This time, there was a team of nine scouts. Lü Shu felt a headache coming on. Why are there so many of them? Including the one before him, there were 10 scouts!
Seeing that the riders at the end of the valley were also charging at him, Lü Shu could no longer think about anything else. He shouted, "Let go!"
With a jerk of his hands, he suddenly pulled the spear out of the scout's hand. The scout actually failed to hold onto it!
After obtaining the spear, Lü Shu did not care about his axe and sword anymore. He decisively turned around and ran!
The other party had horses, and their charge was powerful and unstoppable. However, Lü Shu's advantage lay in his agility. In fact, his strength and speed surpassed these scouts.
Lü Shu did not choose a good path. Instead, he turned around and found an opportunity to crawl up the mountain. Obstacles in the mountains were the nemesis of cavalry.
