Chapter 452
Lu Yu and the others didn't know that the cave was found shortly after they left, and the other party accurately determined the number of Zhu fruits they had picked.
So they didn't rush when they were transferring, they still left marks while walking, and kept investigating the surroundings.
After determining that there was no danger around, they continued on their way.
They continued walking like this, and it would be strange if they were fast.
So, in just a few hours, a spiritual beast bird spotted them.
"Hmm?"
Lu Yu's spiritual sense had been constantly exploring the surroundings, and he immediately sensed something was wrong when the bird followed them.
It was unusual for there to be almost no wild spiritual beasts in the vicinity, and this bird continued to stare at them after appearing.
This was completely abnormal.
However, he didn't make a fuss, but silently controlled the Starry Sword and left it behind when no one was paying attention.
After they left, the bird indeed followed them quietly.
At the same time, Lu Yu suddenly burst out with spiritual power and pointed in the direction of the bird.
"Swish..."
The Starry Sword, which was already in sync with his mind, suddenly stabbed out from a hidden corner and directly pierced the unguarded bird.
"Ah, there's an enemy!"
It wasn't until the bird was stabbed to death and fell to the ground that Bai Linger heard the commotion.
She quickly assumed a defensive posture, but when she turned her head, she saw Lu Yu's expression of speechlessness.
"The battle is over."
"Ah, it's over? Did we win or lose? Who did we fight with in the end?"
Bai Linger had hardly any combat experience as she had been kept by the Bai family. So she only knew that Lu Yu's burst of spiritual power seemed to be in conflict with something.
But she had no idea who the conflict was with or what the result of the conflict was.
In comparison, Wei Xiaoxian's performance was relatively good.
"Tsk, you guys are really inexperienced. We were followed for quite a while just now, and with this level of alertness, we probably wouldn't even know who the enemy was if we were killed."
Xiao Hua rolled her eyes in exasperation, then turned and walked slowly towards the direction where the Starry Sword had fallen.
About a dozen steps behind them, a beautiful little bird with yellow-green feathers was impaled on the Starry Sword, stuck in the ground.
Seeing that bird, Bai Linger's eyes lit up.
"This bird is so beautiful! Why did you kill it? Are we going to have it for dinner?"
"Ah... Linger, didn't you feel like we were being watched just now? This should be a spiritual beast that someone raised."
"Ah, were we being watched by this beautiful little bird just now? I thought it was Brother Lu secretly watching me."
"I..."
Lu Yu was speechless.
Who knows how Bai Linger's mind works, that she can even come up with such a story.
By the way, if he was secretly watching her, could she really sense it?
He had a Heaven-ranked divine sense, which wasn't something to be taken lightly. With their divine senses only at the Earth-ranked level, how could she possibly detect him if he was secretly watching?
Speechless as he was, he went to the side of the Starry Sword and beckoned, and the Starry Sword returned to his hand.
As for the little bird, he gently took it down.
"Huh, I think I recognize this bird!"
At this moment, Bai Linger, who had no trace of shyness, approached. Finally, her mind was focused on something useful.
"This bird seems to be called the Folding Emerald. It's a type of reconnaissance spiritual beast. I remember that many people in the Chenyue Sect raise this spiritual beast in large numbers."
"Chen Yuezong?"
Lu Yu furrowed his brows slightly.
Although he had resolved the misunderstanding with Bai Pangzi earlier, he hadn't really offended Chen Yuezong.
However, he didn't really agree with the way this sect had acted before.
Now, they suddenly sent spirit beasts to track them. He didn't believe they just wanted to invite them for tea.
"Since the spirit beast is here, its owner shouldn't be far away. Let's assess the situation and prepare for battle."
"Now you think of preparing? It's too late."
Just as Lu Yu finished speaking, several figures suddenly appeared beside them.
Lu Yu turned his head and counted. There were a total of eight people who had come.
"People from Chen Yuezong?"
"It was you who took the Vermilion Fruits, right? Hand them over, and we'll spare your lives."
Wei Kai glanced at Lu Yu and the others, tilted his head at a 45-degree angle, and said.
"Hey, Wei Kai, do you think this is Chenyue City? You can do whatever you want here. This is a trial space. If you dare to be impolite to us, we won't go easy on you! Hmph, my brother Lu is amazing, at the sixth level of the Gold Core stage!"
Bai Linger immediately recognized Wei Kai and naturally knew his identity.
The people who had chased after them were disciples from Chen Yuezong participating in this trial.
She just didn't expect them to catch up so quickly.
Lu Yu had been planning to secretly take advantage and develop quietly. It seemed that a direct conflict was inevitable now.
He had originally planned to take the initiative, but he didn't expect Bai Linger to provoke them.
It made him itch with anger.
"Hahaha, the sixth level of the Gold Core stage? Bai Linger, are you sure you're not joking? Our Senior Brother Wei Kai is at the peak of the Gold Core stage. Invincible below the Gold Core stage."
"That's right, just hand over the Vermilion Fruits, and we'll spare you. We'll consider our shared residence in Chenyue City."
Several disciples from Chen Yuezong burst into laughter after hearing Bai Linger's words.
Whether in terms of numbers or combat power, they completely surpassed these three young people.
So what was there to fear?
"I agree with what they said. As long as you hand over the seven Vermilion Fruits, you can live. If one is missing, I'll kill one person!"
Wei Kai smiled faintly, but his voice carried a murderous intent.
Lu Yu looked at his arrogant appearance and wanted to kick him.
He was really asking for it.
But if he did that, he would have a moment of satisfaction, but what about Bai Linger and the others?
In addition to Wei Kai, there were three experts at the sixth level of the Gold Core stage on the other side. The other four were at the second level of the Gold Core stage.
"When did the Gold Core stage become so worthless?"
Lu Yu looked around with a bit of speechlessness.
The other side even knew the exact number of Vermilion Fruits they had. It seemed that it was impossible to end things peacefully today.
They had already eaten four of them, so even if they handed them over, they would only have three left.
Since they couldn't save their lives anyway, they could only give it a try.
"Xiao Bai Linger and Xiao Xian, after we start fighting, each of you should hold off one expert at the sixth level of the Gold Core stage, plus a disciple at the second level of the Gold Core stage. I'll deal with Wei Kai first."
"What? You want to deal with Wei Kai?"
Lu Yu was using voice transmission to assign tasks, but Bai Linger, this silly girl, shouted it out loud.
Lu Yu was truly speechless when he heard her shout.
On the other side, Wei Kai looked at them with interest, then waved his hand...
