61 I Can Handle It Alone
Xu Qingguo looked at the bustling crowd in front of him trying to send Lu Yu off and said with a smile, “In Lunan City, I seldom see anyone who got this sort of treatment!”
As Lu Yu listened to him, he also looked at these residents with some surprise.
These residents had simply gathered in the streets to send Lu Yu off. There was no planning beforehand by anyone.
And the incident, which spread like wildfire very rapidly when the mass media broadcast it on the web, sparked a hot debate.
A 90-year-old man leading a team on a dangerous expedition, and he was no less the almighty hero of Lunan City who did not care for his own safety, attracted the attention of many people.
The residents of Lunan City took it upon themselves to gather in the streets to send their hero off. Such a spontaneous event caused a lot of surprise.
At this moment, Giovanna, who was at work, and Lu Shan and Lu Shui who were at school, saw the media coverage. Seeing Lu Yu being sent off by such a large crowd of people in Lunan City, they were all very moved by the scene.
On the contrary, Lu Yu felt a sense of resignation in his heart.
Although Lu Yu was also thinking about the safety of these citizens, he was not the sort who would sacrifice himself for the sake of the residents. Lu Yu was not so magnanimous.
The reason Lu Yu was willing to venture out was firstly, he was quite confident of his own ability and believed that the expedition would not be too dangerous. Secondly, he wanted to go to the blood-sucking wasteland to gather those precious resources indicated in the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’ manual to cook for himself and increase his own strength.
However, there was no need to explain all these things. Lu Yu simply accepted their good wishes.
Very soon, under the Military Lord and the citizens’ warm sending off, Lu Yu left Lunan City and headed for the blood-sucking wasteland.
Military Lord Xu Qingguo watched Lu Yu leave from afar, with a faint feeling of gratitude in his heart.
He was such a rare talent, with a heaven-defying level of martial arts training, yet he was still willing to take such a big risk. There was really no fault to pick.
Xu Qingguo also had a rare love of talent. When Lu Yu returned, he intended to groom Lu Yu well and take him away from this small Lunan City, to let him spread his wings and explore the great wide world.
Meanwhile, as Lu Yu and the others gradually moved away from Lunan City, the surrounding environment changed too.
Ever since the Spiritual Energy Renaissance, humans gradually move outside less and less. They led their lives in the city, and occasionally only the powerful experts would venture out.
Now this area was like a primitive forest. There were not many traces of human activity.
The road that was originally cleared by humans was now full of Fearsome Beasts. Not surprisingly, Lu Yu and his team would not take that path.
Before the departure, Qin Yong had helped Lu Yu chart out a good route in advance.
Due to their unfamiliarity with the situation outside the city, they could only plan ahead roughly. In actual execution, they might have to adjust according to the conditions on the ground.
Nonetheless, this preliminary route was basically able to circumvent a large number of Fearsome Beasts.
Lu Yu and his team followed this route forward. After less than half a day’s traveling, they only encountered a few standalone Fearsome Beasts.
These few standalone Fearsome Beasts were not that powerful. Lu Yu did not take action personally. His team of Martial Arts Warriors and Martial Masters dealt with them effortlessly. It did not cause much commotion either, so did not attract other Fearsome Beasts.
Lu Yu inwardly gave a nod of approval to Qin Yong. This route that he planned in advance had helped him a lot.
It was not until noon that Lu Yu and his team ran into trouble.
At this time, Qin Yong was reporting what he had discovered as he went ahead to scout around.
“Captain Lu, there is a Blood-sucking Rhinoceros blocking the road in front of us. It’s a standalone Fearsome Beast, but it’s very powerful, nowhere near the weak levels of Fearsome Beasts that we encountered earlier. We can deal with it without too much fuss.” Qin Yong said with a somewhat serious face.
One of the Martial Master experts beside him asked doubtfully, “Can we bypass it? I read some information about the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros before. When they reach B-class, they will enter the bloodthirsty berserk state during battle. At that point, their strength will increase by a lot and approach the level of A-class Fearsome Beasts. All of us here may not be the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros’ match!”
The rest of the team members echoed the same sentiments.
“That’s right. This Blood-sucking Rhinoceros is too powerful. We may not be its match.” ”
“Even if we attack together and get rid of this one Blood-sucking Rhinoceros, it will take quite a bit of time. In the process, we may cause a lot of commotion.”
“If this attracts the surrounding Fearsome Beasts, it will be a problem.”
“We are already so deep inside the blood-sucking wasteland. There are bound to be many Fearsome Beasts around us.”
“…”
Faced with so many doubts from the team, Qin Yong said with a resigned look, “When I planned this route, this Blood-sucking Rhinoceros happened to be in our way. There are hordes of Fearsome Beasts on both sides of the route nearby. Though they are low-level creatures, their numbers are big. We can’t deal with them in such great numbers. So even if we want to bypass, it is still possible but we will have to make such a big detour that it will take one whole day.”
When the rest heard this, they looked very worried. Unsure what to do next, they looked at Lu Yu, waiting for his instruction.
Lu Yu did not think too much. A B-class Blood-sucking Rhinoceros was indeed a challenging adversary to Qin Yong and his gang, who were only Martial Masters or worse Advanced Martial Arts Warriors
For Lu Yu, who was at the peak of the Great Martial Master level, it was not much of a problem at all.
Even if the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros entered a bloodthirsty berserk state, Lu Yu could still handle it.
Lu Yu could even utilize his explosive power and eliminate the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros in an instant before it entered the bloodthirsty berserk state. In this way, he could end the battle swiftly and not cause too much commotion that would attract other Fearsome Beasts nearby.
Most importantly, the butter fat from this Blood-sucking Rhinoceros was one of the special ingredients stipulated by the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’ manual. This was also the main reason that Lu Yu wanted to come to the blood-sucking wasteland in the first place, so of course, he was not going to give up this good opportunity.
Without further thought, Lu Yu pretended to analyze the situation and said, “We definitely cannot bypass it. We are pressed for time. We do not have so much time. Besides, though we can bypass this, we may encounter other incidents elsewhere, which may end up giving us more problems.”
After listening to him, the rest concurred with him.
As Lu Yu said, time did not permit them to bypass it. It might mean they would not be able to complete this urgent mission.
Other than that, with the increase in distance, the chance for unexpected incidents to occur increased as well.
After all, the route planned by Qin Yong was only based on the current situation of where the Fearsome Beasts were congregated. The rest were just speculation, and might not reflect the actual ground conditions.
Lu Yu then continued. “I will deal with this Blood-sucking Rhinoceros by myself. You guys just keep watch on the surrounding area.”
As the team members digested Lu Yu’s words, they were stunned. Lu Yu intended to deal with this B-class Blood-sucking Rhinoceros by himself?
On second thought, the team also trusted Lu Yu’s strength beyond measure.
After all, in the battle of the Fearsome Beasts attacking the city, Lu Yu had eliminated an A-class Fearsome Beast. What challenge could a mere B-class Fearsome Beast pose to him?
The only thing to take care was that Lu Yu must be ruthless and swift. He must not delay too long or cause too much commotion.
At this moment, everyone looked forward to the challenge ahead with anticipation. They had joined the Central Dojo and the 4th squadron due to Lu Yu’s reputation.
Now they finally had a chance to witness Lu Yu in action, to see for themselves Lu Yu’s incredible power. They were all very excited.
