89: misfortune
Three days later.
Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes, and a brilliant golden light flashed in them.
Then, as he spread his massive wings, spanning over ten meters, the light in the sky was obscured, and his aura reached its peak at this moment, soaring straight into the clouds!
After these days of recuperation, he had finally fully recovered.
Compared to the recovery of his physical injuries, his divine consciousness recovered exceptionally slowly.
Otherwise, with his current physical strength, having only suffered internal injuries this time, he could have recovered in a few breaths.
After Lu Yu stretched his wings, the Little White Fox, who had been guarding him, also opened her eyes and looked at him with surprise.
According to her previous estimation, Lu Yu's divine consciousness was severely injured and would require at least five days to fully recover.
But in reality, it only took three days to fully recover.
This speed was considerably faster than her own.
“You’ve worked hard guarding me these past few days. It’s my turn now. I’ll be back soon.”
Lu Yu stretched his neck from side to side, then looked at the entrance to the archaeological site.
His divine consciousness recovered so quickly these past few days, largely due to the Little White Fox constantly infusing her own divine consciousness into his body.
“Brother, let me go in with you. Although my strength isn’t as great as yours, I can still be your support and we can look out for each other.”
The Little White Fox wanted to go in with him.
But Lu Yu shook his head and refused, “I’ll go by myself. It’s just to collect some spirit gathering stones and bring out the zi xuan crystal. There’s no danger. Even if I encounter life-threatening danger, with my methods and speed, I can do my best to escape.”
If he hadn’t seen the skeleton in the center of the spaceship when his divine consciousness dissipated.
Lu Yu would have thought bringing the Little White Fox was fine.
But that skeleton left a deep impression on Lu Yu, and the sense of danger constantly welling up in his heart seemed to originate from the huge, eerie skeleton.
After much thought, it was best for him to go in alone.
After all, he was a Golden Eagle, and among Tier B Ferocious Beasts, his flying speed was unparalleled. If he wanted to leave, it wouldn’t be easy to stop him.
The Little White Fox knew that once Lu Yu made a decision, he would rarely change it, and she also knew this was for her own good, so she didn’t insist.
She just said with some disappointment, “I understand, Brother. I’ll wait for you at the exit.”
“Once the zi xuan crystal and spirit gathering stones are gathered, I’ll still need you to set up the foundation of the array. For now, maintain your condition. Once we have the items, we’ll immediately return to set up the array.”
Lu Yu comforted her.
Hearing this, the Little White Fox finally smiled.
Lu Yu had transmitted all the relevant information about the Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Array to her using his divine consciousness.
So she was very clear about the comprehensive and powerful nature of the Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Array.
Once it was truly set up, the entire Jiangzhou City would undergo earth-shattering changes.
Not only would the spiritual energy be abundant, but it would also be impregnable, truly becoming their foundation!
Thinking of this, she was already eagerly anticipating it.
Lu Yu smiled slightly, then flapped his wings.
Swoosh!
The sound of wind breaking rang out, his figure shrunk considerably, and he swooped down towards the archaeological site!
After one breath, Lu Yu landed heavily a hundred meters below ground, stirring up chaotic air currents and countless dust swirling like silver sand.
Then, he squinted his eyes, adapting to the sudden darkness underground, waiting for the black creatures to continuously approach.
Squeak, squeak... The sound of crawling on the ground came, and those black creatures continuously approached from all directions, like a black torrent.
Lu Yu glanced at them, unreservedly splitting into ten clones, and charged towards them.
The golden wings spread by the clones were like scythes harvesting lives.
These black creatures were cut in half, collapsing to the ground, their legs struggling and twitching a few times before they lost their breath.
After just this one move, hundreds of these approaching black creatures were all cleared out.
And Lu Yu’s system interface continuously chimed with system notifications.
[Congratulations on obtaining 200 evolution points!]
[Congratulations on obtaining 200 evolution points!]
With one move, he gained over ten thousand evolution points.
Lu Yu watched with great interest.
He had previously spent a great deal of effort to kill the Earth Demon King, only to gain ten thousand evolution points.
But now, by eliminating a large number of black creatures, he actually gained more than by eliminating a Tier B creature.
Is this the special nature of extraterrestrial life?
Lu Yu muttered to himself, if he had eliminated so many ferocious beasts on Blue Star, he would at most gain a few thousand evolution points.
As Lu Yu was about to continue attacking the black creatures, they seemed to realize something and retreated into the spaceship.
Seeing this, Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and did not pursue them.
If he slaughtered too many black creatures, it might trigger further reactions from the spaceship, inevitably causing more trouble.
In any case, collecting the spirit gathering stones from so many black creatures would be enough for the array.
Immediately, Lu Yu flapped his wings, stirring up a soaring air current, collecting the rice-sized spirit gathering stones together, forming a white stone the size of a goose egg.
The larger the spirit gathering stone, the greater the suction it generated, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy in this space, forming a small vortex.
Lu Yu extended his sharp claws, sealed the spirit gathering stone with spiritual energy, and hid it among his thick feathers.
Then he continued to fly rapidly towards the location of the zi xuan crystal.
Delays could lead to complications; it was best to get the zi xuan crystal in hand as soon as possible.
Golden light pierced through the silent cave, instantly illuminating it, and Lu Yu’s figure had already vanished from his original spot.
When he reappeared, Lu Yu was already above the zi xuan crystal, easily breaking through the violent ripples it emitted.
Compared to his previous divine consciousness state, his physical body was immeasurably stronger, and the energy released by the zi xuan crystal could not affect him in the slightest.
Afterward, he channeled most of the spiritual energy in his body, concentrating it into his sharp claws.
In an instant, his sharp claws became heavy, their surface seemingly wrapped in a layer of glazed crystal, emitting a faint glow.
Having had the experience of his divine consciousness touching the zi xuan crystal before, Lu Yu, after making full preparations, extended his sharp claws and firmly grasped the zi xuan crystal.
Under the interference of external force, the zi xuan crystal trembled violently, and a brilliant purple light suddenly flared, emitting an astonishing repulsive force that stimulated Lu Yu’s sharp claws.
Even with the isolation of spiritual energy and his sharp claws, Lu Yu still felt a piercing pain, as if sharp thorns had pierced through his claws, and he instinctively wanted to let go.
Fortunately, Lu Yu was prepared. With a fierce resolve, he flapped his wings and soared high, pulling the zi xuan crystal out from among the many absorption devices.
Without the absorption devices to absorb the escaping violent energy, the repulsive force on Lu Yu’s claws became even stronger, almost causing him to drop it.
What concerned Lu Yu even more was that as the zi xuan crystal detached from the device, the spaceship seemed to lose part of its energy. The surrounding lights suddenly extinguished, and many machines stopped operating.
Most importantly, he heard the sound of chains snapping!
