Chapter 12: A Cultivation Path Never Before Seen in the Great Desolation!

Lu Yun had not activated his gauntlets during the previous battle, waiting precisely for this moment.

And the effect of this strike was indeed quite good.

"Bang!"

A dull thud rang out; Heitu only felt the world go black before his head fell into a dazed state.

Lu Yun naturally would not let such an opportunity slip; he frantically channeled his magic power, and for a moment, his magic power surged around him, forming a massive fist shadow that hammered continuously at Heitu's body.

Every punch was imbued with wild power! "Crackle!"

A series of booming sounds erupted, like the thunderous beating of war drums! Finally, Lu Yun's fist struck Heitu squarely in the throat.

Heitu was instantly sent flying backward, crashing into a massive boulder and smashing out a huge crater.

The dust and smoke quickly dispersed; Heitu's body lay limply in the crater, clearly devoid of any life force.

Lu Yun stood where he was, drenched in sweat, gasping for air.

He immediately swallowed a Jade Spirit Pill, then grabbed Heitu's corpse and dove into the ground at once!

Just as he and Heitu disappeared, a bolt of lightning struck near their previous position, followed immediately by a burst of flames.

Evidently, quite a few Demon beasts had been attracted by the commotion and had launched attacks from afar.

Unfortunately for them, by the time they arrived, Lu Yun had vanished once again, and even his aura could no longer be sensed.

Houtu, who had witnessed the entire scene, had her eyes light up at this moment.

She muttered to herself: "Deliberately hiding a Spiritual Treasure, only to use it suddenly at a critical moment to gain the chance to defeat the strong with the weak! This Human Race member truly possesses wisdom that most of my Wu Clan lacks!"

She suddenly understood why Nuwa had chosen Lu Yun, going so far as to impart techniques and Supernatural Powers, and even bestow Spiritual Treasures and Spirit Pills.

Beyond that, Lu Yun's several displays of real combat made Houtu feel ever more clearly that the cultivation path this Human Race member used was indeed one never before seen in the Great Desolation!

She grew increasingly expectant of Lu Yun's future performance.

……

Deep underground, Lu Yun had no idea that he had inadvertently become Nuwa's representative among the Human Race in Houtu's eyes!

This time, for the sake of caution, he not only went deep into the soil layer but also traveled a long distance to avoid being attacked by any Demon beasts.

During the movement, he operated the interface to upload Heitu's corpse to the Points Mall.

The suggested price this time actually started at 20,000, going up to a maximum of 30,000 points.

He figured it must be because Heitu's cultivation was higher than that of the python and the green wolf.

Lu Yun was originally wondering whether to offer another low-price promotion when, unexpectedly, a group notification popped up.

"Chu Xiong has purchased the python corpse you uploaded. After deducting the handling fee, you have received 13,500 points."

Lu Yun's eyes lit up.

As expected, listing it at a low price earlier was the right move! Just as he finished this operation, he discovered he had arrived near a large rock deep underground.

The Earth Escape Technique could only travel through soil; things like rocks still had to be avoided.

However, Lu Yun's heart stirred; he circled around the large rock and arrived beneath it, hiding himself there.

This way, even if any Demon beasts attacked the surface, they would be blocked by the large rock first.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he hurriedly opened the Chat Group.

After a quick glance at the previous group messages, he found there were simply too many, and he couldn't finish reading them all.

However, in the small portion of the chat he did read, he discovered that several more novice transmigrators had died mysteriously!

It was only the first day of the transmigration, and over ten novice transmigrators who had just joined the group were already dead! No wonder the veterans even felt that not many of them would survive!

This also created a sense of crisis in Lu Yun's heart. No, although his current situation was decent, he could not let his guard down; he had to keep getting stronger! Lu Yun: "@Chu Xiong, many thanks for your patronage, Big Brother!"

Chu Xiong: "You're too kind! The quality of this Demon beast corpse is too good; I should be the one thanking you!"

Jiang Ye: "Huh? Old Chu, you actually bought the Demon beast corpse Lu Yun uploaded? Didn't you say you were out of points?"

Chu Xiong: "That was my last bit of savings! Fortunately, it's worth more than the price!"

Zhou Yu: "Is the quality really that good? Then I'm making a move too!"

Jiang Ye: "Good heavens, Old Zhou, you actually have so many points too! What happened to being poor together with me?"

Fang Wenjie: "I envy Jiang Ye! If he sells a few more Demon beast corpses, wouldn't his points exceed 100,000?!"

……

While the group members were frantically spamming the chat, Lu Yun had already reopened the pricing interface of the Points Mall.

He had originally planned to list Heitu's corpse at the lowest price as well, but unexpectedly—

"Zhou Yu has purchased the green wolf corpse you uploaded. After deducting the handling fee, you have received 18,000 points!"

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment.

Someone actually bought the green wolf corpse listed at the maximum price?

Adding it all up, he had already brought in over 30,000 points! Lu Yun couldn't wait to go to the Points Mall to shop! However, he finished the pricing task first.

And so—

"Lu Yun has uploaded a new item—Heitu's corpse! Price: 30,000 points!"

Such a notification popped up in the group again, causing the people spamming the chat to pause for a moment, before they quickly began frantically flooding the screen again.

Lin Yan: "Holy crap, another Demon beast corpse!"

Fang Wenjie: "No way, I was just saying that, how do you really still have a Demon beast corpse? And this one is actually so expensive!"

Chen Hai: "@Lu Yun, did you break into some Demon beast slaughterhouse?"

……

Lu Yun was just about to reply briefly when, unexpectedly—

"Jiang Ye has purchased the Heitu corpse you uploaded. After deducting the handling fee, you have received 27,000 points!"

It sold just like that? Even Lu Yun found it hard to believe.

Looking at his balance in the Points Mall again, it had shockingly already reached nearly seventy thousand points! Lu Yun hurriedly opened the chat interface.

Lu Yun: "Thanks to the two big shots @Zhou Yu and @Jiang Ye for their strong support!"

Jiang Ye: "Hehe, luckily I had also saved up quite a lot of points!"

Chu Xiong: "You still have the nerve to tease me! So it turns out you're even richer than me!"

Liu Chongxiao: "... So, in the end, am I the only real pauper here?"

Xiao Ling'er: "... So, in the end, am I the only real pauper here?"

The group chat suddenly turned into a broken record, but Lu Yun fell into deep thought.

He quickly made a decision: first buy a cultivation technique suitable for his current level, then buy some new equipment! With a clear goal in mind, he originally wanted to start shopping immediately, but before opening the Points Mall, he suddenly thought of another matter: perhaps he could take this opportunity to trigger some more missions.

Thus, he interrupted the broken record in the group and asked: "Respected big shots, I am currently surrounded by a group of Demon beasts and have seventy thousand points on hand, what do you suggest I should do?"
