It seemed that an abnormal creature had discovered his whereabouts and reported it to the higher-ups.
Licking his nose with his tongue, Lu Zixun’s gaze gradually became profound.
Looking back, he realized the attack on Yue Sichen by Yunyang was not a mere coincidence.
There was definitely a mole planted by Tan Ye within the Yuesha Group.
And that mole, Lu Zixun surmised, was likely none other than Yue Sichen’s confidant, Ye Xun.
One thing that Lu Zixun still didn’t understand was why, with Yunyang’s capabilities, he could easily have caught up with Lu Zixun and killed Yue Sichen.
Yet, he did not do so. What exactly was his purpose?
Shaking his head, Lu Zixun decided not to dwell on this question.
He moved leisurely toward the blue dot, his primary task now being to find the person requesting help to understand what exactly had happened in area q.
Looking up at a small compartment labeled "Storage Room," Lu Zixun reconfirmed the position of the blue dot.
It seemed that the person requesting help was inside that very compartment.
Lifting his paw, Lu Zixun tapped the silver plaque, stepped forward twice, and nudged the door open slightly with his head.
He also carried the Spiritual Pistol in his hand as he cautiously stepped inside.
Nobody knew if this might be a trap set by abnormal creatures.
Especially after hearing the system’s prompt, Lu Zixun grew even more cautious.
The storage room was exceptionally quiet; Lu Zixun, with his ears perked up, couldn’t hear even the faintest breath, as if there were no one in the room.
He flicked his tail and shut the door.
Lu Zixun pondered for a moment before speaking, "I am a member of sto; I’m here to rescue you."
"Ding—Suspicion value from Xiong Kang +1000."
Was the person here Xiong Kang?
The system’s alert made Lu Zixun’s eyes narrow.
No wonder those abnormal creatures had said that under no circumstances could they let Xiong Kang escape.
After withdrawing the Invisibility Cloak into the System Space, an orange figure appeared in the storage room.
On seeing Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang’s eyes were filled with shock.
"Ding—Shock value from Xiong Kang +1000."
Xiong Kang’s gaze towards Lu Zixun was incredibly complex, the Mother and Child Sword unsheathing and circling around, ringing metallically.
"Ding—Killing Intent Value from Xiong Kang +1000."
Facing Xiong Kang’s look, Lu Zixun remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Believe it or not, I’m here to save you."
After locking eyes with Lu Zixun for a while,
Xiong Kang took a deep breath, and the Mother and Child Sword returned to the scabbards on his arms, the Sword Qi in front of Lu Zixun gradually dissipating.
Xiong Kang slowly emerged from behind the cover.
Only then did Lu Zixun see Xiong Kang’s body covered in blood and the blade wound on his abdomen.
Sitting on the ground, Xiong Kang was slightly out of breath, with cold sweat continuously appearing on his forehead.
Lu Zixun could see that at this moment, Xiong Kang was indeed spent.
"At this time, coming to area q, it’s hard to hide with your bulk, and it’s unlikely that you’ll survive unless you truly have nine lives."
Even at this point, Xiong Kang didn’t miss a chance to tease Lu Zixun.
At this moment, Lu Zixun ignored the teasing, his expression solemn as he walked over to Xiong Kang’s side.
After examining his wound, Lu Zixun drew in a sharp breath of cold air.
What was on Xiong Kang’s abdomen wasn’t just a blade wound.
It was a blade transformed from a Parasitic Beast, stuck in Xiong Kang’s abdomen, with blood continuously being absorbed by the blade, not a single drop reaching the ground.
No wonder Lu Zixun hadn’t smelled any blood when he entered; it was for this reason.
Without asking why Xiong Kang hadn’t removed the blade, Lu Zixun lifted his paw and patted Xiong Kang’s arm: "Watch, young master is going to lead you out of here today."
"Return what belongs to me."
With a light laugh, Xiong Kang’s face was somewhat pale, "You’re just a little shit, hurry and take this thing and go find Elder Zeng in East City of zone Q."
He tied something resembling a USB flash drive around Lu Zixun’s collar.
Xiong Kang smiled and rubbed Lu Zixun’s head, struggling to stand up from the ground.
Xiong Kang was thinking of sacrificing himself to let Lu Zixun take the item and get out...
Looking at the determination in Xiong Kang’s eyes, Lu Zixun took a deep breath.
It was this kind of scene again!
Lu Zixun, holding back the sour feeling in his heart, bit Xiong Kang’s clothing and pulled him to the ground.
"What are you doing?"
Falling awkwardly onto the ground with a grimace, Xiong Kang looked at Lu Zixun with puzzlement.
"Just wait, I’m going to find something that can save us both!"
Lu Zixun hadn’t finished speaking when he pulled out an Invisibility Cloak from the System Space.
With a sigh from Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun ran out of the storage room.
In reality, Lu Zixun didn’t run far.
He was even right at the door.
After pulling the Invisibility Cloak over his head, Lu Zixun called up the system.
"System, open the Mall."
"Ding—Remaining time until the automatic refresh of Mall items is twenty-seven hours."
Looking at the two remaining items in the inventory, Lu Zixun gritted his teeth and chose to refresh.
Now, with just under thirty thousand feeling value, he had to get an item that could heal Xiong Kang’s wounds.
"Ding—Host used today’s free refresh opportunity; Mall items have been refreshed.
Awakening Fruit: Allows the user to randomly awaken a superpower (Note: ineffective on those with superpowers).
Value: ten thousand feeling values.
Revival Pills: Made from the snow lotus of the Iceberg World, can heal fire burns and slightly recover physical injuries.
Value: twelve thousand feeling values.
Nine Swords Combined Pill: From a world where swordsmanship flourishes, beneficial for sword practitioners in healing wounds and advancing cultivation, and can nourish a strand of Sword Qi in the Dantian. (Taste might not be very pleasant.)
Value: thirty-five thousand feeling values.
Seeing the last elixir in the Mall, Lu Zixun’s eyes lit up.
Just as he was about to ask the system to exchange it, he realized he only had thirty thousand two hundred and ten feeling values.
His claws popped out from his paw pads.
His nose twitched slightly, picking up the scent of blood from various floors.
A cold light flashed in Lu Zixun’s eyes.
Is it just lacking a little in feeling value?
Just kill a few abnormal creatures, and that’s enough!
Today, he was determined to save Xiong Kang!
He put the Invisibility Cloak back into the System Space and looked at the nearby emergency stairwell, activating the speed of Flash as he dashed in.
Using a cat’s night vision, Lu Zixun shuttled through the shadows like a hunter in search of his prey.
Standing on a beam, Lu Zixun saw an abnormal creature crawling below and suddenly jumped down from the beam.
His claws shot out, piercing the heart of the abnormal creature.
"Ding—Detected fear value from Alien +1000."
He shook the blood off his claws.
Stepping on the corpse of the Alien, Lu Zixun walked forward, "Two more to go."
