Chapter 356: Bah, Pretty Boy
"Be careful!"
Ouyang Ting screamed and drew her sword.
A sword energy came first and instantly split the flower that looked like the mouth of a giant beast into two halves. The strong wind blew Lu Yu's hair up.
The rest of the people also made moves, and they cut off all the huge vines that were like tentacles and were born from weeds.
The people cooperated with each other tacitly and advanced and retreated in moderation. In a blink of an eye, they swept away the vines.
At this time, the vegetation under the feet of the people withered quickly, revealing a piece of charred land full of ashes, like a huge scar, which was out of tune with the peaceful and beautiful scenery around.
Lu Yu suddenly realized that perhaps this was the true appearance of this land, and the beautiful appearance was just a disguise of decadence.
At the same time, he also understood why the Allied Forces Headquarters had to ask disciples to enter in groups. If it weren't for the cooperation of everyone, an ordinary disciple would have to call for help if he relied on his own strength.
Ling Yufei leaned down and picked up an irregular black crystal from the ruins.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the black crystal.
"Ah! It's the original crystal!"
"What good luck! The first battle after entering the second area, the original crystal was precipitated!"
"This must be because of the newcomers in the team!"
"Hehe, I didn't expect Junior Brother Lu to be a lucky star!"
...
Several female disciples chattered.
Lu Yu then realized that this was the famous original crystal - a specialty unique to the Tianyu battlefield, which attracted everyone to rush to this dangerous place and risk their lives.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yufei raised her hand and suddenly threw the original crystal towards Lu Yu.
Lu Yu took it subconsciously, and felt a surge of heat coming from his hand. He couldn't help but look at the other party in confusion.
"Keep it as a souvenir!"
Ling Yufei said lightly.
"However, I will judge the benefits of this trip according to your performance, so when the benefits are finally distributed, this original crystal will still be deducted."
Lu Yu was stunned. In fact, for him, this team was just a tool. At first, it was for the qualification to enter, and then for spying. He didn't think about the distribution of benefits.
But I didn't expect Ling Yufei to be so righteous and actually gave him a original crystal directly.
If it was just an ordinary disciple of the sixth level of the True Yuan Realm, it would be impossible to get such benefits from it. It would be great to have someone to lead the task and gain some merits.
Suddenly, Lu Yu felt that this big sister was actually quite good.
...
When Xu Bin saw this scene, his jealousy could not help but burn wildly.
He turned his head silently, pretending to check the situation ahead, but in fact he couldn't help gritting his teeth.
"Bah, pretty boy!" he cursed in a low voice.
Then he encountered several battles in succession.
A black gas rose from the spot, and then the surrounding things quickly became demonic and turned into terrible monsters.
The eight-man team was able to resolve all the difficulties without any danger.
Lu Yu realized that it was not that he could get the original crystal every time he encountered the invasion of the fallen air. Most of the time, he was directly turned into ashes. The thick layer of ashes on the ground might be because of this.
After these battles, Lu Yu also had a rough judgment of the overall strength of this team.
It must be said that this is indeed a team with super combat power. Everyone has his own unique skills and is extremely well-equipped. No wonder they dared to go to the third area with only eight people.
Especially the tall and thin Xu Bin. Although his attitude towards Lu Yu was not very friendly, his strength was really amazing. Not only was his moves sharp, but he was also very brave in battle, and he could be regarded as the pioneer of the entire team.
In one of the battles, the fallen air happened to spread to a group of slugs, and the slugs instantly became demons. The ugly bodies, slippery mucus, and disgusting smell made several lively female disciples pale and their combat power greatly reduced. Fortunately, Xu Bin stood up at this time, faced the challenge, and finally turned the situation around and eliminated the group of fallen demons.
After the battle, Xu Bin naturally received unanimous praise from everyone. He couldn't help but show a long-lost smile on his face, and looked at Lu Yu proudly.
It was at this time that Lu Yu realized that it was no wonder that in this team with more yin and less yang, Xu Bin, a male, had to be left behind. It was indeed not without reason.
It was a pity that although Lu Yu verified the overall strength of the team, his own strength had not been verified, because these people were too strong and it was not his turn to take action.
Once, Lu Yu finally seized an opportunity and was about to attack the fallen demon, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Ouyang Ting.
As she thrust her sword through the fallen demon, she solemnly told Lu Yu, "You are responsible for treatment and are the core of our entire team. Don't waste your mana at any time!"
Lu Yu was so embarrassed that he had to retreat in disgrace. He thought to himself, if he continued like this, would he really become a gigolo?
Until everyone came to the foot of a mountain, a tiger surrounded by black air suddenly jumped out.
The tiger roared, and suddenly there was a strong wind. It flickered its tail and flashed lightning.
Everyone was immediately as if they were facing a great enemy. Since entering the second area, this was the most powerful monster they had seen, and the fallen air was the strongest one.
Without much time to hesitate, both sides launched an offensive at the same time.
However, just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, the mountain on the side suddenly shook violently.
Lu Yu looked up and saw a huge fallen rock rolling down the hillside at a high speed. The fallen rock was also surrounded by dark black air.
