Chapter 401: The Onset of Howling
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Night had fallen over the Koh Chang remains, and the howling seemed even scarier in the twilight sky, as though someone was being dragged into the abyss.
Dim light flickered in the night sky, barely visible against the flowing motion of the clouds. In a gloomy environment like this, it would become excruciatingly depressing when all lights were gone.
Evan Walsh came to a stop, “Let’s camp in this open area for tonight. I suppose we’d better not advance any further into the darkness. Right, come over, Emily. I need to have a word with you.”
Then, Evan brought the Mexican girl back to the path they came from. It was relatively safe there, since all the gargoyles along the way had been cleared.
Lu Shu had to admit, Evan was definitely somebody, to still have such desires in the current context.
Was it really fine to do it here and now? Against a cacophony of mournful baying?!
Speaking of which, Lu Shu’s previous remains experiences reminded him of the potential of an exponential increase in risk factors after nightfall.
But Lu Shu chose to hold reservation about his judgment which was based on past incidents.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, the fool-proof method of locating the core region using his senses failed him this time. Who knew what other changes there were that he could expect?
One had to be adaptable in order to survive, not to blindly believe in empiricism.
Besides Emily, there were three other girls in the eighteen-people team. Everyone had come to the remains in the hope of securing some cultivation resources, but the dangerous situations therein were totally unexpected. As a result, driven by instinct, the other girls had approached other male Practitioners for help.
Of course, they were not as direct as Emily, and had retained their morality.
Except for Meng Jingchan who decided to remain independent, the other two girls had shown their kindness to another two Class D’s separately. Some male Metahumans had offered the girls some protection along the way out of chivalry. Afterwards, the latter showed their gratitude in return, which served as a motivation for greater efforts from the men…
Basically, that was how all the relations had started.
It was human nature to have a sense of reliance and good disposition towards those who could keep you safe when in peril.
And it was only natural that the two girls, as Class E’s, to have a need for security here.
Nowadays, there existed a “remains rush” all around the world. People perceived themselves as the lucky one favored by God and plunged into the remains together with their beautiful fantasies.
However, reality was cruel.
Resting on a rock, Lu Shu sank into deep thought about his future plans. As a Class E slacker, he did not attract much attention from the girls.
In fact, his sluggishness had won him a bad reputation in the team.
Lu Shu did not think he was at fault thought. What else could he do besides shouting “666”…
Then, he saw Meng Jingchan retrieve a small-sized alcohol-fueled stove from her backpack and scurried over to a rock to change into a short-sleeve T shirt out of sight… Lu Shu’s face twitched in surprise, only girls would remember to pack extra clothes in their limited luggage space…
Speaking of which, it appeared unlikely to have natural water there. But all the Practitioners seemed to be well-prepared.
Although Lu Shu’s and Lu Xiaoyu’s backpacks were much smaller than others, their backpacks only needed to serve to hide their invisible storage equipment.
When others took out ship biscuits, bacon and canned food, Lu Shu brought out a pack of chips from his bag…
Everyone else was startled. Who would bring a bloody pack of chips into the remains? Did he have any general knowledge of field survival?!
Lu Shu was shocked as well. Lu Xiaoyu was the one who packed his bag. But when she asked him what to put inside the bag, he answered “anything”.
Anything indeed! He started to wonder what could possibly be in Lu Xiaoyu’s own bag.
In the meantime, Lu Xiaoyu was eating chips while walking forward. At her side, Anthony would seal up every crack formed on the stones beside her…
If gargoyles could produce distress points, Lu Shu would have been overjoyed by now. Those trapped monsters would be his distress point generator all day…
What a pity.
After less than ten minutes, Evan Walsh returned with Emily, who was combing her hair with her fingers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLu Shu was amused by their efficiency. No wonder they dared to do it in the remains, it was because it would not take long anyway.
The atmosphere in the team had stiffened since their return. It was an open secret that they had sealed a form of contract, which was not easily acceptable for the majority.
But Evan Walsh was not ashamed at all. Rather, he cocked his head and eyed the other girls, wondering if it was possible to extend his tentacles to them.
Simply put, Evan Walsh’s ego was already inflated like a balloon…
“Everyone, do not let your guard down at night. Remains tend to be the most unpredictable after sunset. Our Phoenix Society had ventured into remains twice, so our information is completely trustworthy. Previously, it became much more dangerous when it got dark,” Evan Walsh said. “Phoenix Society” seemed to have become his catch phrase.
In fact, Lu Shu had little interest in the white man, but his sword was particularly attractive.
More importantly, how much volume could it add to his divine water?
Meng Jingchan glanced over at Lu Shu, “Will it really become more dangerous at night?”
Lu Shu replied with a smile, “Absolutely, since he said so.”
It was a cleverly disguised response to Meng Jingchan’s probe. In fact, Lu Shu was well aware that the girl had probably suspected him of a few things. But their connection was not strong enough to convince Lu Shu to risk his life in saving her one day.
Contrary to Lu Shu’s expectations, there was no outburst of gargoyles in the darkness. historical
All of a sudden, a howling pierced the air from no specific direction, inducing an acute pain in people’s chests!
Strange!
