Chapter 739: The Anomaly in Species Research

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the dangerous wilderness, even an experienced leader like Zhang Yanfeng could not afford to let his guard down, let alone the younger ones of Wang Yan’s kind.

Before the magical era, humans already feared wolves, bears and venomous animals. Sometimes wolves were incredibly persistent. Zhang Yanfeng once encountered four wolves following closely behind them for 12 days straight, causing everyone to tremble in fear the entire time. To make matters worse, these animals would not attack unsolicitedly. Instead, they simply followed you, keeping you on your toes all the time.

In such cases, the best shot to survive was to study the weaknesses of those beasts. In fact, their greatest weakness was fatal injuries. Without medication such as antibiotics, infected wounds could be lethal for wolves. Therefore, they valued every chance of attack.

Nonetheless, the healing abilities of wild animals had also improved after the regeneration of Spirit Qi. They had learned this via their newly acquired intelligence. Thus, they became even more violent and aggressive towards humans. Moreover, given their enhanced strength and speed, commoners were no match for them.

Unexpectedly, though, Lu Shu’s teammates had actually covered nine days’ of walk in three days, or two and a half, to be more precise.

The pack of wolves knelt down on the ground, facing Lu Xiaoyu, who stood tall like the Wolf Queen accepting the worship of the wolves. When looking through the window at this scene, Wang Yan and the rest were in disbelief.

In contrast, Lu Shu’s teammates could not be more composed.

Upon retrospection, the greatest impression those people left on Zhang Yanfeng’s mind was calmness, as though they were afraid of nothing. Be it Chen Zuan, Cheng Qiuqiao or Cao Qingci, none of them appeared to have considered wolves a threat since the start.

Lu Xiaoyu shot Chen Zuan a glimpse. “Do it. Quick.”

“Sure,” replied Chen Zuan. Then, together with Cheng Qiuqiao, he slaughtered the wolves one by one and passed them to Cao Qingci, who then packed the dead bodies in her invisible storage equipment.

It was not their first time to witness Lu Xiaoyu’s exceptional control of the beasts. However, they had only seen her use it on lone yaks or meek camels.

In the Salt Lake remains, Lu Xiaoyu once called herself the Animal Whisperer. It was also then when Lu Xiaoyu discovered her special talent.

Back then, surrounded by a huge pack of beasts, Lu Xiaoyu was riding Naughty Pig as she exited from the remains. That looked pretty impressive.

Furthermore, this ability of hers had become increasingly more powerful as her strength grew. At the moment, she could control at least ten Class C beasts effortlessly.

In fact, this was not a gift, but a true special power. Even Lu Xiaoyu herself had no idea when she had awoken to it.

But Lu Shu knew. Interestingly, the cultivation techniques of the celestial map had enabled Lu Xiaoyu to re-mold spirits as well. Both abilities could allow Lu Xiaoyu to secure victory based on quantity of weapons.

The commoners, including Wang Yan, sat in the temporary building and stared in shock as Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao slaughtered the wolves quickly and decisively. Suddenly, Chen Zuan looked up and glanced over at the building with a hearty laugh, which immediately scared Wang Yan away from the window.

Were they the young man’s teammates? They were so strong and it was unlikely that all Heavenly Network members were as powerful as them!

After some hesitation, Zhang Yanfeng asked Lu Xiaoyu, “Are you the team leader?”

To him, Lu Xiaoyu’s ability to tame the wolves was truly unbelievable. Moreover, despite her young age, the entire team would always go to her for advice. Hence, it only seemed logical that she was the leader.

That explained Lu Shu’s insistence on waiting for his team, which included his leader and other strong support.

Lu Xiaoyu cast him a glimpse and replied, “It’s Lu Shu, not me. Speaking of which, where is he?”

That took Zhang Yanfeng, Wang Yan and the rest by surprise. Lu Shu was actually the leader of this incredibly powerful team! Then how strong must he be?! It seemed that they had still underestimated the boy’s ability.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaoyu and Cao Qingci looked over towards the direction of the Gate to Hell at the same time. They saw Lu Shu running over against the windy snow, which had avoided Lu Shu as though by an invisible force.

Lu Shu smiled at Lu Xiaoyu and the rest. “Caught a few mutated creatures over there. They can last our Species Research for quite a while.”

Zhang Yanfeng and the others were stunned. What? What was Species Research? They had seen the term amidst the heated discussion following the opening of the school term in cultivation colleges. But they found it unbelievable that these teenagers were all cultivation college students.

What the... Besides, the Species Research was said to be the worst subject, admitting only the least talented students. Why did it not seem the case in reality?

All of a sudden, Zhang Yanfeng sensed a change in atmosphere. Led by Lu Shu, Cheng Qiuqiao, Chen Zuan, Cao Qingci and Lu Xiaoyu slowly encircled Luo Nan.

Lu Shu gestured Zhang Yanfeng to stand aside. Then, he took out the photo and asked calmly, “Mr Luo, you said that you were an investigation personnel in the periphery of the Kunlun Mountains and that you had noticed the sudden loss of contact with this surveying base. Afterwards, everyone, including a Class C, had vanished from here overnight. Then, I found this photo in the base. Therefore... you were the Class C at the base, weren’t you?”

Those hiding in the building were stunned. Why was there an internal conflict among members of the Heavenly Network?

However, the first part of what Lu Shu said had already sent chills down their bones. All the staff at the base had once vanished from there, yet they had stayed inside for more than two days! How dangerous!

Lu Shu and the rest patiently waited for a reply. Between Luo Nan and Lu Shu, all of them would trust the latter unconditionally.

A slight trace of astonishment crossed Luo Nan’s face. Then, he smiled. “Ah, regarding this... The man in the photo was not me. Otherwise, why would I refuse to collaborate with the investigators if I were the only survivor at the surveying base?”

Lu Shu was stunned too. “Then who was he? Photos don’t lie.”

“He’s my twin brother, Luo Bei,” explained Luo Nan, “Truth be told, I have always wanted to enter the Kunlun Mountains, not to figure out the truth inside, but to find out where on Earth my brother is.”
