113: Chapter 113 Does Mr. Lü have to find a godfather again?
Xu Xuan immediately thought of using the spirit mine detector to find the nearest minerals, but who should he send?
The other Divine Generals all had things to do; their tasks had already been assigned.
It seemed he only had one or two idle people on hand.
This Lv Bu, Lu Fengxian, had just arrived at the Floating Island. Perfect. He would let Lv Bu take the spirit mine detector and scout the surrounding area.
Thinking of this, Xu Xuan directly sent a voice transmission to Lv Bu.
“Fengxian, go to the warehouse to collect a spirit mine detector and find the surrounding mineral sources for this King.”
Lv Bu, who was strolling down the street, suddenly heard Xu Xuan's words and immediately perked up.
“This official accepts the decree!”
He hadn't expected to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility as soon as he arrived. Lv Bu, a two-meter-tall hunk, instantly felt full of energy.
According to what he knew, spirit mines were very important things. The King asking him to find them meant the King held him in high regard.
What Lv Bu didn't know was that Xu Xuan's main reason for choosing him was fearing he would cause trouble with the girls in the city. It was better to let Lv Bu spend more time marching to war or out searching for resources.
Unaware of the truth, Lv Bu excitedly collected the detector and then leaped down from the Floating Island, which was dozens of meters high.
“Ha, Red Hare, come to me!”
As Lv Bu's coarse voice rang out, dark red mist condensed. The front hooves of the Red Hare rose high as it tossed its head and let out a war horse's neigh.
Red Hare's eyes were blood-red, and its nostrils snorted hot steam. To be resurrected once more, to feel the surging, boiling blood flowing through its body again...
“Old partner, you can't wait either, can you!”
The corners of Lv Bu's mouth curled up. His large hand gently stroked Red Hare's smooth coat; through the skin, he could feel the horse's burning blood.
With a leap, Lv Bu mounted Red Hare, laughing toward the sky as he galloped away.
“Ha! Red Hare, faster, even faster! That's it! That's it!! Can you feel the wind? Can you feel the vibration of your hooves trampling the earth? We are resurrected!! Old friend!”
At this moment, Lv Bu could hardly contain the joy in his heart, and the Red Hare beneath him galloped at extreme speed.
Hooves—clatter, clatter—trampled the earth, bursting with powerful vitality.
The vassal lords farming beneath the Floating Island all had faces covered in mud from the fields.
Jung Jae-soo and over a hundred other vassals were staring with confusion at the figure flashing past them.
“Look, that person looks so familiar.”
“I feel like I've seen him somewhere?”
“Is that the fangtian painted halberd? Could it be... Lv Bu!?”
Although Jung Jae-soo, Takeshita Asuka, and the others were japanese people and koreans, they had all grown up under the influence of the Chinese cultural sphere.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was probably the most familiar story across the East Asian cultural sphere.
When they saw the two feathers on his head, and especially when he was holding a fangtian painted halberd and riding Red Hare...
It went without saying who it was.
The group of people watched the laughing hunk in stunned silence, pointing blankly.
“That's definitely Lv Bu, right?”
“Should be...”
“Man, the Overlord can even recruit Lv Bu. Lv Bu's combat power is the absolute peak of the Three Kingdoms!”
Takeshita Asuka looked at the man on Red Hare with a face full of admiration. Among japanese people, many loved the character of Lv Bu.
However, the koreans didn't think so. Jung Jae-soo showed a look of disdain: “If you're talking about the strongest in the Three Kingdoms, I think it's Guan Yu!”
Takeshita Asuka insisted: “I think it's Lv Bu! During the battle of the Three Heroes against Lv Bu, it took those three a lot of effort just to defeat him.”
“You've read too many novels! That's a plot from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In terms of actual combat power, I think Lord Guan is the strongest.”
Jung Jae-soo worshipped Guan Yu unconditionally. In his eyes, Lv Bu wasn't even fit to carry Guan Yu's shoes.
One supported Lv Bu, the other supported Guan Yu; neither could move the other, and they argued for a long time without a result.
Basically, even if they argued for a hundred years, they wouldn't be able to determine a winner.
As long as they believed in their hearts that someone was the strongest, it was impossible to convince the other side.
Riding on his horse, Lv Bu heard the group of japanese people and koreans behind him jabbering about something, but he couldn't be bothered to care.
As he rode Red Hare, he vaguely heard that group of people saying something about Lord Guan.
“Guan? Could they be talking about Guan Yu? I wonder how the others fared after I died.”
Lv Bu really wanted to find someone who knew history to chat with. If the King hadn't assigned him a task, he really would have wanted to ask about the situation in later generations.
After he died, what happened to the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang? What became of that treacherous villain Cao Aman? Which of the various lords finally seized the world?
Lv Bu stroked his chin in deep thought: “Based on my guess, it was probably that villain Cao who eventually took the world? He was, after all, a capable minister in times of peace and a hero in times of chaos.”
He was already someone who had died once. The grievances from thousands of years ago had already vanished into thin air like a joke.
He had long since cast aside personal enmities, determined to be a new man and wash away the infamy of being called a 'slave of three surnames'!
Unfortunately, what Lv Bu didn't know was that the Han empire eventually fell into the hands of the eternally infamous Sima family.
He could never have guessed it; if he were to ask Xu Xuan now, he would likely be shocked by the answer.
While he was thinking, Red Hare had already galloped dozens of kilometers. The Floating Island behind him grew further and further away, almost disappearing over the horizon.
Just as Lv Bu was wandering and thinking, the detector he carried suddenly made a beeping sound.
“Oh, there's a reaction! The King said that if there's a sound in a certain direction, it means there's a spirit mine.”
As long as he went in the right direction, the detector's sound would get louder. That's right, in the southeast direction, there must be a spirit mine!
“Ha, I, Lu, can finally report back to the King.”
Following the sound, Lv Bu, riding on Red Hare, suddenly discovered something.
He sniffed hard and found that the air was filled with a scent of blood.
Looking again, there were many bloodstains on the ground, but no bodies were to be seen.
“Something's wrong!”
Lv Bu became alert. Logically, with blood soaking the earth and the soil saturated with moisture, he could feel how soft and muddy the ground was.
Think about it—how many people must have died for the blood to soak the soil soft?
But forget that there wasn't a single corpse; there weren't even any signs of pits dug to bury them, nor any traces of bodies being dragged.
This was irrational!
As an experienced general who had spent years marching and fighting, Lv Bu sensed the eeriness.
“King, I'm about to find the spirit mine, but the situation here is very strange. Would you like to take a look?”
Lv Bu transmitted his voice directly to Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan, who was handling internal affairs on the island, directly opened the large screen: “Sure, let me see the perspective from your side.”
Opening the view, Xu Xuan could use a god-like perspective to directly watch the situation on Lv Bu's end.
He saw that on the vast plains spanning thousands of miles, the entire earth was soaked in blood. This was wrong, very wrong!
Just then, Lv Bu spoke up.
“King, I see a flag ahead. It has foreign text written on it: Territory of the Necromancer Lord Li Shunyao!”
Li Shunyao?
That korean lord ranked in the global top hundred?
How did he become a Necromancer Lord?
Lv Bu added: “King, I will go and cut off that Li Shunyao's head and present it to you!”
“Wait, Fengxian!”
Xu Xuan suddenly had an idea: “Fengxian, first infiltrate Li Shunyao's camp and investigate the truth of this person's strength for me.”
Huh?
A question mark popped up over Lv Bu's head: “King, what do you mean? You want me to go recognize another foster father?”
