Chapter 37 Thoughts and Understanding
Lu Yu was awakened by the command from the sky.
After dealing with Ning Feng and Hua Zhilan, he had concealed his whereabouts, found a secret place without armored puppets, and quietly hid there to recuperate and recover his strength.
When the notice from the four prefectures came from the sky, his injuries had almost healed, and his strength had almost recovered.
"Before dark?"
Lu Yu looked up at the sky.
Now he already has two command flags in his hand. As long as he can capture two more command flags, he can be promoted smoothly.
However, if you want to capture the flag, not only strength and strategy are required, but also a certain amount of luck. Lu Yu did not dare to say for sure that he would be able to capture two command flags before dark. It is better to prepare for this kind of thing in advance.
So Lu Yu stopped hiding, walked out again, and joined the battle of capturing the flag.
At this time, the battle in the entire flag-grabbing area has entered a white-hot stage, and all contestants are fighting hard for the final promotion quota.
Lu Yu was lucky. Not long after walking, he came across a flag. However, around this flag, there was already a group of contestants fighting each other.
After a day of baptism of battles, Lu Yu had long been accustomed to the rhythm of this melee and directly joined the battle.
Relying on the sharpness of the Feihong Sword and the strength of the Fire Scale Armor, Lu Yu quickly killed the flag.
"Wow! This man has two flags!"
"Quick! Kill him first!"
"Don't even think about touching my flag!"
"Boy! Take your life!"
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yu became the target of public criticism.
Swish!
Lu Yu swung a sword with his right hand, first forcing the crowd on one side back.
At the same time, he reached out with his left hand and took the flag.
Three flags in hand!
Only the last one was left to be promoted to the third area.
At this time, the attack from the other side had already arrived.
Lu Yu flashed, rolled up the three flags, and fled madly.
During this process, he was inevitably hit by many attacks, but there was a clanging sound, and Lu Yu was not hurt at all.
Under the shattered clothes, the red fire scale armor was exposed.
"Fire scale armor!"
"Is this man Lu Yu?"
Someone who knew the goods immediately shouted out.
"He is Lu Yu! Chase him!"
"Damn! Is this guy? Wasted so much of our time? Finally found him!"
"What's the point of finding him now? Xiang Chen has been promoted, and no one will redeem four flags for him..."
"Stupid! Without Xiang Chen, he already has three flags!"
"Oh! That's right! Chase him!"
"Don't let him have the chance to grab the fourth flag!"
...
Lu Yu took to the road of escape again.
However, although there were many people chasing him this time, it was far less urgent than when he was chased by Ning Feng and Hua Zhilan, and the pressure was much less.
After the fierce battle just now, Lu Yu's clothes were completely torn, basically just pieces of cloth hanging on his body, and he looked very cool while running all the way.
Lu Yu simply tore off all the "cloth strips" on his body, revealing the red fire scale armor under his body.
This time, Lu Yu was even more eye-catching.
Every time he ran to a battle group, he was recognized before he had time to join.
"Lu Yu!"
"You finally showed up!"
"Don't let him come over!"
"Kill him quickly!"
In the battle group, the people who were still fighting each other suddenly stopped their offensive and all faced Lu Yu in unison, ready to fight.
This made Lu Yu confused.
Do I know these people?
Why do they have such a big grudge against me?
In desperation, Lu Yu had to give up, bypassed these contestants who were guarding against him, and turned to the next flag-grabbing location.
Swish!
Bang!
Whoosh!
Lu Yu kept running all the way, fighting in several battle groups, and finally he got a chance to kill to the side of a flag again.
The last flag was already within his reach.
As long as he took this flag, he would have four flags and could be promoted successfully.
"Stop him!"
"Interrupt him!"
"Don't let him succeed!"
The surrounding contestants were anxious, but helpless, and could only roar angrily.
However, it seemed that no one could stop Lu Yu.
At this moment, Lu Yu took the initiative to give up the flag, flashed, and rushed to the side, leaving the flag in place.
Everyone was stunned.
What's going on?
He didn't want the flag?
Lu Yu flashed to the periphery of the battle circle, picked up a wounded man lying on the ground, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a few quick moves.
Before everyone had time to figure it out, they suddenly realized that the biggest enemy was gone, and immediately started scrambling for the flag again...
"Huzi! Huzi!"
The injured person that Lu Yu picked up was the young man Lu Xiaohu from the third room.
He walked to a secluded place, put Lu Xiaohu down, and checked his injuries.
There was only one injury on his body, a sword wound on his chest, which was very deep and had injured his heart.
Lu Yu's heart tightened immediately.
Logically speaking, Lu Xiaohu was wearing a second-grade inscribed armor purchased from the treasure tasting conference, and he should not be hurt like this.
What on earth is going on?
"Brother Yu..."
Lu Xiaohu opened his eyes. Although he was very weak, his eyes were still shining.
"Brother Yu, I didn't bring shame to the third house... Xiang Chen asked me about your whereabouts, but I ignored him..."
"Xiang Chen?"
Lu Yu was startled, and a huge anger surged in his chest.
His voice was cold: "Did Xiang Chen hurt you like this?"
Lu Xiaohu nodded gently.
"Brother Yu, you have to be careful..."
"Xiang Chen is looking for your whereabouts everywhere and killed many of our people..."
"He also said... If anyone can help him find you, they can get four flags directly from him..."
"It seems that he doesn't want you to be promoted to the third area... You must not let him succeed..."
In an instant, Lu Yu understood everything.
No wonder those contestants who had never met him had such deep resentment towards him. It turned out that it was all because of Xiang Chen!
This despicable guy!
In order to find his whereabouts, he actually attacked his family!
This is intolerable!
This hatred is irreconcilable!
Lu Yu raised his head and looked at the highest peak of Tianjue Mountain. He suddenly felt a surge of murderous intent.
Aren't you looking for me?
Okay! Then I'll meet you!
Lu Yu stood up suddenly.
"Cough... cough... cough!"
At this moment, Lu Xiaohu coughed violently and spit out a large mouthful of blood.
Lu Yu's body shook, and then he realized that now was not the time to act on impulse.
He almost let hatred cloud his mind, forgetting that Hu Zi was still in danger, and he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
"Huzi, stop talking, I'll heal you now!"
"No!"
Seeing Lu Yu squatting down to heal himself, Lu Xiaohu became excited instead.
"Brother Yu, there's no time... Go grab the flag quickly, don't let Xiang Chen's trick succeed..."
"You are the hope of our Third House. If you can't get promoted, our Third House will be bullied in the future..."
"Go away... I'm fine..."
At the end, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lu Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart.
In Huzi's faint smile, he saw a determination to die.
He knew that he was going to die, but what he thought about in his heart was still the rise and fall of the Third House!
He was only twelve or thirteen years old...
What kind of feeling is this?
Lu Yu had a sense of enlightenment in his heart.
In an instant, his thoughts were clear.
He threw aside the three flags that he had fought so hard to get before, without any hesitation.
"Fuck the promotion!"
"Huzi, stop talking nonsense, I will definitely save you!"
