Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 605: Chen Zuan, Not Afraid of Death

To be honest, if Chen Zuan was willing to quote a price, Lu Shu would not mind selling a fruit to him. After all, many people have said that those with training and who have undergone awakenings may become even more impressive in the future. To Lu Shu and Chen Zuan, this was a win-win situation. Why not do it?

But now, Chen Zuan had nothing…

“Brother Shu, do you really not want someone to try the fruit for you?” Chen Zuan smiled obsequiously.

Lu Shu shook his head. “You are now standing opposite of me.”

Chen Zuan was dumbfounded. “Opposite? That can’t be possible, Brother Shu. I have always treasured you and supported you as my leader.”

“No, the one standing opposite of me is poor,” said Lu Shu calmly.

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”

“Brother Shu, you’re too much…” Chen Zuan was slightly annoyed.

Lu Shu suddenly looked up at the sky. He hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is it just me or has the sky darkened a little?”

Chen Zuan looked up in surprise. “Maybe it’s just you. I don’t see anything different.”

Lu Shu furrowed his eyebrows. According to Jiang Feng, there was no day or night here. If that was the case, then there should be no change to the color of the sky.

Maybe it was just him? Lu Shu used his phone to take a picture of the sky and continued forwards. After six hours, he took another picture. Putting the two pictures side by side, even Chen Zuan could see the difference. “The sky really is different! It’s getting darker!”

When there was a slow change in the color of the sky, people would not be able to see the difference. It was like boiling a frog slowly. When it can no longer bear the heat, it can no longer jump out either.

Following the same logic, when people touch hot water in winter, they will feel that the water is scalding because their hands were cold. It was all relative.

“So it’s not that this place doesn’t have night and day. It’s just that day and night are too long,” said Lu Shu calmly. “We must be careful with the rules in the remains. When day changes to night, the rules of the remains will change. Everyone will be exposed to danger.”

“Danger? What danger?” Chen Zuan was uneasy.

Lu Shu suddenly looked down at the mirror below them. “It may come from right beneath our feet.”

“Isn’t this the ground? Will something pop up from underground?” Chen Zuan was very puzzled.

“We don’t know how long day lasts. In the past, people in the remains still had time to take a break. After all, night only lasted for a few hours. Once the sky brightened, everything would go back to normal. Lu Shu calmly analyzed, “But it’s different here. If we are really in danger, we will spend a few days, even more than ten days battling the danger without rest.”

There was a limit to a person’s strength. Even a practitioner could not go for more than ten days without sleeping at all. Who knows what mischief this place had in store?

“Then what do we do?” Chen Zuan asked. They could not even calculate the number of hours left till night.

“We continue moving forward,” Lu Shu said calmly. “Before night falls, we have to find a place where we can rest and set up our line of defense. I feel that we are already in the face of danger.”

Normally, Chen Zuan would not rely on people. But when it came to crucial times, he knew very clearly what he should and should not do. He was truly smart.

What he acknowledged now was that if he wanted to continue living, he had to follow Lu Shu.

They continued moving forward. Lu Shu looked at the time and realized that 12 hours had passed. He suddenly realized that the mirror underneath them was not as slippery as when they had first entered. It had become tough for no apparent reason.

Lu Shu stopped and kept the waterproof mat in the Seal of Lands. “We can walk from now on.”

The mirror was slightly blurry. As time passed, the mirror became like that of polished marble. While it was still very slippery, at least they could walk on the surface.

Chen Zuan stepped on the ground. “I feel that this will benefit us. At least it is not as slippery. Our combat power will increase.”

“If that’s the case, then that’s great. I’m worried that the ground will continue to change.” Lu Shu looked at the ground.

But one advantage was that they could hurry up and find a place to settle down. Suddenly, there was a rumble of thunder from the sky. Chen Zuan and Lu Shu looked up at the sky. Suddenly, someone wearing Taoist robes flew towards them from the sky.

Lu Shu suddenly sighed. “Encountering your Second Master in this kind of crazy place… does he want to die, your Second Master…”

“No, Brother Shu. Wait,” Chen Zuan interrupted. “Why do I feel like you’re scolding him?”

“No, you think too much.” Lu Shu laughed buoyantly.

The person was Chen Baili. When Chen Baili saw the two of them, he picked up his pace. He lightly landed in front of them.

After not seeing him for a long time, Lu Shu realized that Chen Baili, like Li Xianyi, looked younger. Although he was old, the number of wrinkles on his face had decreased significantly.

Chen Baili looked at Lu Shu and smiled. “Long time no see.”

Back then when Chen Baili was undergoing his basic training, he would bow to Lu Shu. This showed that he lacked the human feelings that Lu Shu possessed. Chen Baili was very irritable, but there was no doubt about his character. Thus, Chen Baili had always seen Lu Shu as one-third his junior, one-third his friend, and one-third his benefactor.

Human emotions were very complex. One could not use examples to generalize them.

Lu Shu smiled too. “Your complexion is getting better and better.”

Chen Baili turned and said to Chen Zuan, “You have allowed yourself to be helped by others, right?”

When Chen Zuan heard this, his jaw dropped, but he did not say anything. Chen Baili had hit the nail on the head. Without Lu Shu, he would probably still be lying down on the ground.

When Chen Baili saw this, he started to laugh coldly. “You only care about playing all day, but not about making progress. Have you ever reflected on why Lu Shu is so outstanding, yet you are far behind the others?”

“I have reflected!” Chen Zuan defended himself.

“Oh?” Chen Baili raised his eyebrows. “Then tell me why.”

Chen Zuan said carefully, “It’s because my genes are not good?”

As Chen Zuan’s Second Master, Chen Baili used his horsetail whisk to hit Chen Zuan. “Sigh. I’ll deal with you when we get back.”

Lu Shu was filled with deep veneration towards Chen Zuan. At first, he thought that this fatty was sly and dared to ridicule him. But now, he knew that Chen Zuan was not afraid of death. Not only did he ridicule Lu Shu, he even provoked an attack from Chen Baili…
