Chapter 460 Spoils Of War, Return
Lu Yu hadn’t expected the Stellaris Autonomous Zone chambers of commerce to be this influential.
He had originally thought the Lionheart Empire would be the Freedom Federation’s greatest competitor, and it wasn’t his expectation that the forces of Stellaris were this powerful.
“It seems there’s no other choice. Since none of us can contact the outside world now, no one will know what’s happening inside here. Before this expedition ends, all we need to do is to make sure they don’t report it to the higher-ups, right?”
Lu Yu suggested this since no one could contact the outside world, which meant they had a lot of time. They could either kill all their enemies or find a way to make peace.
Han Xuefei shook her head. “There’s something in the ancient ruins that can contact the outside world. It’s a special tool. If you take your time to find it, you can get it. Someone from my family once entered an ancient ruin and used the same method to contact the outside world.”
Lu Yu was a little curious after hearing this. “There’s such a thing? If that’s the case, that Jiang Lintian guy will definitely tell his father about this.”
Han Xuefei lowered her head slightly with a complex expression. She knew her choice could have put the entire Han family in danger.
Lu Yu patted her arm and consoled her, “Don’t worry. Since it happened, we’ll find a way to solve it.”
Han Xuefei let out a long sigh. “It’ll be hard to solve this peacefully. They’re too influential for us to go against.”
“Since Jiang Lintian is this stubborn and unruly, it’s impossible for us to settle this through talks.”
Lu Yu’s eyes sharpened. “Well then, we’ll have to think of a way to capture him and use his life to exchange for your family’s safety. Won’t that be enough?”
Han Xuefei’s heart started to beat faster. “But it’s difficult for us to kidnap Jiang Lintian!”
“He started it, so it’s not my fault that I didn’t give him a chance. No matter how strong he is, I’m going to put an end to his arrogance!”
Lu Yu’s tone was firm and forceful. He had already made up his mind to make Jiang Lintian suffer.
At that moment, Xu Yuan and the others stood up and returned to Lu Yu’s side.
“We’ve already finished looting. Other than his equipment, there’s nothing else. There aren’t many things in his storage ring either.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “It’s possible he put all his valuable things in their camp. Many people do that.”
“However, his set of equipment is pretty good. Do you guys want it?”
Wang Meng looked at the set of equipment on the ground and shook his head. “I’ll pass. This set of equipment doesn’t match me in size.”
“I think it’s best to give this set of equipment to Xu Yuan. The equipment he’s wearing right now is normal, and his defense is too weak. This set of equipment will give him the strong defense he needs.”
Yun Zirou looked at the equipment and continued, “This set of red armor mainly increases the defense attribute, followed by health points. It looks to be of purple grade.”
“This set of equipment should be good to increase Xu Yuan’s defense.”
Xu Yuan looked down at his body and said, “That’s true; the armor I’m wearing is quite old. I’ve always been a doctor in the military, so I don’t usually face danger. This is why I’m wearing my equipment as comfortably as possible.”
“But now…”
He walked over, picked up the armor, and put it on.
The armor fitted him perfectly, and the increase in his defense made him feel more at ease.
“Phew, I suddenly feel so much safer.” Xu Yuan exclaimed.
“Wear it properly; don’t let your hand get cut off again.” Lu Yu joked.
Xu Yuan touched his armor and smiled. “It won’t happen again in the future.”
He then waved his right hand, and the armor on his body turned into a casual outfit.
“Let’s go. We can return to our camp.”
Lu Yu took the lead and walked out of the courtyard, following the small path in the forest to return the way they came.
The spoils of war from this short trip were decent. They got a sword, a set of armor, and a staff. In addition to these three important pieces of equipment, there were also many other smaller items.
As for Lu Yu, although he didn’t get any new equipment, he got himself a puppet. This puppet should be able to play a pivotal role in his combat.
After walking through the forest, Lu Yu looked at his phone. There was no signal, but he looked at the time.
It was already past six in the evening, and night would soon fall.
“Why don’t we use the teleportation scroll to go back? If we spend the night outside, we might encounter danger.”
Xu Yuan suggested that since the previous consecutive battles had exhausted most of their physical stamina. If ferocious beasts attacked them in the middle of the night, they would have to fight with their tired bodies and weak physical strength.
Lu Yu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
“These teleportation scrolls are limited, so we should use them sparingly. However, this is our first time coming to an ancient ruin, so it’s best not to take too many risks.”
Lu Yu spoke and took out a scroll from his pocket watch. He slowly opened it and saw that the goatskin scroll was engraved with an exquisite and mysterious array.
The array on the scroll started to glow, and the light enveloped Lu Yu’s entire body.
Xu Yuan and the others also took out their teleportation scrolls and opened them one by one, planning to teleport back.
One by one, the scrolls were unfurled. Light flickered, and all six of them disappeared the next moment.
Lu Yu and the rest appeared in the forest, not far from the main gate of their camp.
They were here when they closed and opened their eyes again.
“Isn’t the teleportation point marked inside the fort? How did we end up in the forest not far from the entrance?”
Lu Yu looked left and right and saw that their surroundings had already darkened. Darkness was shrouding the land, and their visibility was constantly decreasing.
“In an ancient ruin, everything is slightly more unstable and prone to come to an error, especially array formations. It’s already good enough that we’re not far from the city.”
“The order of this world is being rebuilt, ” Han Xuefei continued. “Every year, various changes would happen in these secret realms, and many researchers are studying what’s happening with these ancient ruins.”
“I see. I didn’t expect you to have done so much research on ancient ruins.”
Han Xuefei covered her mouth and laughed. “Oh, I’m just interested in this.”
“Let’s go back and rest; I’m sure you’re all tired,” Lu Yu said as he led the way.
Wang Meng followed behind him, stretching his arms. Su Qing yawned behind Lu Yu, and Yun Zirou could barely keep her eyes open.
After taking two steps, Lu Yu suddenly stopped.
“There’s something wrong!”
Lu Yu stopped, and the five teammates behind him tensed up again.
Lu Yu sniffed carefully again and said, “There’s a bloody smell in the air!”
