The short bushes retreated beside his feet.
Roddy leaped forward and leaped over a boulder that was half a man's height. He landed in a small ditch behind it and rolled to the right.
"Bam!"
The boulder behind him cracked open. A black monster that looked like a plant that had been magnified countless times was twisting and waving its spiky branches that were dripping with mucus. It chased after Roddy at high speed.
The boulder was cracked open by one of its spiky branches.
The strangest thing was that among the branches of this monster plant, there were three branches that looked like fishing rods. At the end of the branches, there were three bloody human heads with ruddy skin hanging. The three heads in the thick fog were either smiling or puzzled. Anyone who saw them from afar would think that they were real people.
Roddy turned around and glanced at the three heads as he ran. They were actually his Death Realm teammates who had been talking to him just now. Unfortunately, the hunters had seized the opportunity to kill them all.
"Bam!"
The ground shook in the distance. It was the sound of cannons. Urus had attacked.
The sky had darkened, and the fog had risen. It was also the time when the monsters in the town were active.
"Boom!"
The sound of cannons blasted together, and the ground shook continuously.
"Hehe …"
The monster plant paused for a moment. It ignored the sound of cannons and continued chasing after Roddy.
Soon, the sound of cannons stopped. Faint cries of pain could be heard from afar.
Roddy sighed in his heart. He knew that Urus had completely failed. Just like that person before, the power of the army had no other effect other than infuriating the town.
He turned around and dashed into a bush. He tossed out a small bottle with a backhand motion. Then, he pressed his body against the ground and remained motionless and silent.
The small bottle shattered when it landed on the ground, and a large cloud of green smoke instantly emerged.
The monster plant immediately hesitated. Its movements slowed down as well. It swayed left and right, as if it could not find Roddy.
Roddy did not even dare to breathe loudly. He merely hid quietly in the bush.
The plant's black branches searched everywhere. It almost touched Roddy a few times, but he managed to twist his body to avoid it.
After more than ten minutes, the plant finally showed signs of retreating. It slowly retreated into the fog behind it. Soon, it disappeared into the thick fog.
However, Roddy still did not dare to make a sound. That thing had not gone far. It would return immediately if there was any sound.
Time passed slowly. Just as he stood up and was about to heave a sigh of relief …
"Roddy!"
"Where are you?"
"Roddy!"
"Where are you?"
A deafening roar suddenly exploded from a dozen meters away to the side.
Rody's expression changed greatly as he turned around.
In the thick fog behind him, three monstrous plants slowly revealed their true forms and glared at him.
"This is … troublesome …" Rody could not help but groan.
"So it's here!" Luo Sang's voice suddenly rang out from the side. Luo Di looked over and saw Luo Sang walking out of the fog. He looked pleasantly surprised as he looked at Luo Di.
"You …!!?" Luo Di did not recognize the current Luo Sang. Compared to when he left home, the Luo Sang before him, apart from his face, did not resemble his son at all.
"I practiced the saber technique you left behind, then started taking the medicine, and the effect was obvious," Lu Sheng flexed his arms, "Then I heard that you were coming here, so I came to find you."
"You …" Rody opened his mouth and looked at his son's smiling face. Suddenly, he felt choked up.
"You shouldn't have come … It's dangerous here …"
"Pcchht!
Pcchht! "In an instant, three saber gleams that resembled full moons suddenly lit up. It was as if three sources of light had appeared out of thin air in the gray fog. Luo Sang had already appeared behind Luo Di at some point in time. He slowly sheathed his saber.
The three plants fell to the ground with a loud bang. They quickly turned into puddles of black liquid. Luo Sang pulled a branch in his hand.
"What danger? Father, are you in some trouble? "he turned around and asked with a surprised expression.
Luo Di immediately choked on his sobs. He looked at the saber in Lu Sheng's hand, then at the monstrous plants that had turned into puddles of black liquid on the ground.
"Just now … you used … a sect's saber technique?" His expression was slightly strange.
"Yes." Lu Sheng smiled. "It's a good move. When I came here, I saw that these branches were very sturdy, so I chopped a few more. However, since these plants are resistant, I was afraid that chopping too many of them would affect the ecology here, so I didn't do too many." As he spoke, he removed a bundle of branches from his back.
"Here, that's all."
Luo Di almost fainted when he saw it.
There were more than 20 branches in this bundle. In other words, more than 20 monstrous plants had been chased by Luo Sang and chopped into puddles of black liquid.
The corner of his mouth twitched. He did not know what to say. Although these monsters could not die and could regenerate, this was the first time he had encountered someone who could kill them head-on.
"Father, you didn't even tell me that you were traveling here. I stayed at home and practiced my saber technique until I ran out of medicine. I had no choice but to come out and look for the person you mentioned in your letter. I asked for some medicine. After that, I seemed to have reached a bottleneck. I heard a man called Solomon say that you were here, so I came to look for you."
Lu Sheng licked his lips.
"Solomon said that you're going to die? I don't believe it. Father, tell me, who wants to kill you? I'll kill him for you. "
Luo Di could not imagine it.
"You've been practicing the sect's saber technique all this while. You haven't practiced anything else?" He stared at his son, who was a head taller than him, in a daze. "You've become like this just by practicing your saber technique and taking medicine?"
"Yes. I'm almost done. I feel that I won't be able to improve any further." Lu Sheng nodded.
Luo Di had a strange expression on his face. He suddenly felt that the saber technique that he had been practicing for so many years was all fake.
"I saw many people attacking that town with cannons just now. However, many of them died instead. Is that town your destination, Father? "Lu Sheng asked. At this moment, he was playing the role of Luo Sang, who was inexperienced and did not know the difference in his abilities. This was the best way to cover up his flaws.
"Yes …" Luo Di nodded. He walked over and examined the ground where the three plants had fallen.
Earlier, it seemed as if the three monsters had been cut down in the blink of an eye. However, when he got closer to take a look, he discovered that three deep saber marks were imprinted on the ground.
On the ground behind the monster plants, there were three saber marks that were as deep as a palm. It was as if they had been dug out with a hoe.
Luo Di stood where he was and examined the ground for a long time. The final conclusion he came to was that the technique that Lu Sheng used was exactly what he had taught him.
'Could it be that my son is a genius?' This thought surfaced in his mind.
This was also the result that Lu Sheng wanted. No one, no one could change their temperament from timid and immature to mature in a mere few months. The strength of their bodies could be said to be gifted, but their temperament could not.
Hence, he thought of this method to make up for it. He could change, but he needed time to adjust.
In his helplessness, Luo Di actually felt fortunate. If his son had come a little later, he reckoned that he would have been in grave danger.
"Now … I still have some matters to attend to in the town. You go …" He wanted to instruct his son to leave. However, on second thought, since Luo Sang had found his way here, he would definitely be able to come here a second time. With Luo Di accompanying him this time, perhaps Luo Sang would have a chance to survive. Luo Sang would recognize the terror of this place and not dare to come again.
Otherwise, if Luo Sang discovered that Luo Di was missing in the future and came looking for him alone … That would be even more dangerous.
After sorting out his thoughts, Luo Di decided to bring Luo Sang along. He would let Luo Sang experience the terror of this place on the day before he entered the Realm of Death.
'We only have one day. I hope …' Luo Di sighed inwardly.
"Let's go. We'll go there." Luo Di pointed in the direction of the town. Since they were already here, he should let his son see everything.
"Alright." A hint of interest appeared in Lu Sheng's eyes.
The two of them sped toward the town in the thick fog, one in front of the other.
It was quiet in the fog. The rumbling of the cannons just now had completely quietened down.
The light grew dimmer and dimmer. The sky was about to turn dark.
After walking for about ten minutes, the fog gradually dispersed. A small grayish-white building that occupied an extremely wide area was revealed before them.
The white spots on the walls unique to the small building clearly indicated that this was a building that belonged to the town. They were already approaching the town from the side.
"Luo Di!" Nearby, a few bloodstained men called out to them from afar.
"Esseinro!" Luo Di was shocked when he saw this. He hastily ran over.
Lu Sheng followed closely behind him. He was ready to protect Esseinro at any moment.
When the two of them got closer, they saw that the people who called out to them were three rather old men. One of them was the old scholar who spoke earlier. One of his legs had been pierced by a nail. It seemed to be inflamed as well.
"This is …?" As Luo Di approached them, the few of them were clearly slightly nervous about Luo Sang, who was following behind him.
"This is my son, Luo Sang," Luo Di hastily explained. He was considered strong himself, but compared to his son, he was like a bean sprout.
Compared to these three weak old men, his son was truly a terrifying existence akin to a monster.
"Your … son?" The three of them looked at each other. They were still slightly nervous.
In the blurry fog, Luo Sang's eyes looked in their direction. He gave them the feeling that he was no different from those monsters they had encountered.
"No matter what, let's get out of here first. We're too close to the town, "the old scholar suggested softly.
"Alright." Luo Di nodded in agreement. Then, he hastily helped the old scholar up. He turned to Lu Sheng, and said, "Ah Sang, we …!"
Suddenly, his body froze. He turned to look at the second floor of the small building behind him.
A long-haired woman in a white dress with pitch-black eye sockets stood by a window. She smiled at him in the darkness.
"You … will all …"
"Boom!"
The woman, along with the window, the room, and half of the roof, instantly turned into a hole. She vanished without a trace. It seemed as if a corner of the building had been smashed by something.
The entire small building shook for a while. A pile of things fell from inside. It only calmed down after a long time.
"Slap, slap, slap."
Lu Sheng patted the dust off his hands. A four-meter-wide section of the wall beside him was clearly missing.
"Do you think that I can't hit you just because you're standing far away? How naive. "He chuckled coldly. Suddenly, he turned and saw Luo Di and the other three's dumbfounded expressions.
"See that, Luo Di? You don't have to do anything. Trash like this can't even withstand a single attack from me," Lu Sheng said casually.
The corners of Luo Di's eyes twitched. He did not know how to reply to this son of his who was severely lacking in common sense.
