Chapter 1149 - Daylight Flame
Chapter 1149: Daylight Flame
This was the first time Lu Shu had brought Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao out on a mission, but he was not worried that they would create a mess. After all, they were Rank One experts. Lu Shu was a master; Lu Xiaoyu had the Bishop, who was a Rank One, and Anthony and Johnson, who were both masters; Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao were Rank Ones. Thus, there were no shortcomings in the entire team. Their fault tolerance was very high.
In this team, Rank Ones were considered weak. This was something people did not even dare to imagine…
What Lu Shu had to do now was to find possible spies from the Luniverse in the Phoenix Society. He was not worried about the relics.
There was only one variable. Lu Shu had checked the place where magma had flown. Although the magma had died out, Lu Shu still felt a familiar force.
This force started to appear during the dawn of the magically rich era. Then, it attempted to save a desperate situation during many crucial periods. It was the white flame in Lu Shu’s heart!
This was the reason why Lu Shu was able to suppress his temper and wait patiently. He could not understand why the magma in the relic would make him feel that way. Or was this a trap that someone who knew him well had deliberately laid for him?
Lu Shu was not sure, but he was not afraid.
When he passed by the resting troops in the Longmen Fortress, he realized a clue that he had overlooked in the past, but had to pay attention to. Yu Fuyao had made the white flame in his heart jump in an unusual manner.
Lu Shu did not know what this meant, but he knew that he did not understand Yu Fuyao as well as he had expected. Although she had killed many slave owners in front of him, this was simply a covert way of proving her innocence.
But no matter whether it was Wen Zaifou or Yu Fuyao, he had to defend himself against them.
There were many people who liked walking, and many people who liked climbing in Yellowstone National Park, but recently, these people did not come here. They were afraid of Metahumans.
The attitudes of ordinary people towards Metahumans had relaxed, but after the attack of the slave owners, ordinary people were once again on the alert against Metahumans and Practitioners.
Yellowstone National Park was a gathering place for Practitioners. Only businessmen dared to come here. There were few people who had invisible storage equipment like Lu Shu. Many Metahumans had come here a week ago. The food they had brought was running out, but they were not willing to go and buy more. They were worried that they would miss the best timing when the relics opened.
Someone had started to make dinner in the campsite. The bonfire burned wildly, causing the blood vessels on the faces of those sitting near the fire to swell.
Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao sat by the fire. As they waited for the food, they asked, “Brother Shu, why don’t we go to the campsite near Grand Prismatic Spring? Many people are at that campsite. There are pretty Practitioners wearing bikinis there as well. It seems fun.”
Lu Shu glanced at Chen Zuan. “We are more likely to be injured by the strange happenings in the early stages of the relics the closer we are to places with hot springs and volcanoes. If some strange creatures appear like last time, then it’s fine. If you come into contact with magma, you will not even be able to cry. Even if it doesn’t burn anyone, it will be difficult if the tents are burned.”
“That seems to be the case.” Chen Zuan nodded his head in pity. “I thought that I would be able to solve the problem of being single, but the campsite that you have chosen is full of aunties. Just now, an auntie touched my butt. I’d better receive compensation for industrial injuries…”
Lu Shu glanced at him. “If you get dragged into a forest, I will compensate you for industrial injuries.”
The auntie that Chen Zuan was talking about was not that old. It was simply Chen Zuan’s way of speaking. Moreover, Lu Shu had chosen this campsite, as it was the closest to the Phoenix Society’s campsite.
The Phoenix Society did not allow outsiders to join their campsite. Lu Shu would definitely choose the closest site to observe them.
The Phoenix Society knew that it could not prevent so many Practitioners from entering Yellowstone National Park. Thus, they adopted an uncaring attitude, as if North America was not their territory.
Lu Shu felt that it was the Phoenix Society’s fault. Back then, they had insisted on fighting at the Changbai Mountains. This time, it was the Phoenix Society’s turn to suffer the consequences of their own actions.
At that moment, a white flame suddenly appeared over their heads against the setting sun. Then, it disappeared.
It had not even appeared for one second, but the flame in Lu Shu’s heart began to jump rapidly. It was as if they shared the same source.
Lu Shu knew that he had come to the right place. Perhaps the Yellowstone National Park relics contained the most important secret about him.
Even Lu Shu could not understand the white flame. If someone had deliberately left behind a treasure in the relics, it would not be a coincidence if a force that shared the same source as the white flame appeared.
The fire-type Metahumans in the campsites panicked. The other types seemed to be fine, but the fire-type Metahumans realized that when they approached the magma and the flames, their fire-type powers would be temporarily suppressed!
This was a very mysterious thing. If it only happened occasionally, it would be fine. But what would they do if they were completely unable to use their fire-type abilities after they entered the relics? It would be the equivalent of walking to their deaths.
Some fire-type Metahumans wanted to retreat, but they could not bear to leave behind the treasure in the relics. They wanted to take a gamble. What if they were fine when they entered?
There were times when people lost their lives because of their shallow mentality towards luck.
Lu Shu asked Cheng Qiuqiao to explore and see whether anything else had happened in addition to the strange incident in the sky. Cheng Qiuqiao returned in less than 20 minutes. He wanted to speak, but stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Shu asked curiously.
Cheng Qiuqiao went beside Lu Shu and softly said, “I saw the Deities! She is among them as well!”
The two words “the Deities” was like a bow that was stretched taut in Lu Shu’s brain. As for who “she” was, Cheng Qiuqiao did not need to explain.
Lu Shu stopped moving. Lu Xiaoyu, who was cooking, did not seem to have heard what Cheng Qiuqiao had said and continued to cook.
Chen Zuan looked at the tab on Lu Shu’s ring finger. He rejoiced in Lu Shu’s misfortune, he knew all too well that the Cheng Ying sword was in the Changbai Mountains. With Lu Shu’s personality, he would have taken it back a long time ago, but he had yet to.
Was Lu Shu the kind of person to leave his treasures lying around? No, unless he did not dare to take it!
It was said that the onlooker saw more of the game. Lu Shu had always said that he would go if he had the chance to do so. Now, he had the ability to create voids, but had not gone there. Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao, who had witnessed the wedding, definitely knew why…
