Chapter 404: 404

Lu Shu was overjoyed . One gargoyle was equivalent to a piece of broken weapon, which was equal to three magical stones at the Golden Foundation . A whopping 360,000 dollars!

This simple calculation led to a conclusion, he could earn 720,000 dollars per hour! This was tested and proven!

720,000 dollars per hour, which translated to over 5 million dollars for a night of eight hours . He was not a remain explorer . He was becoming a rich man overnight!

Although the divine water could not be exchanged into cash, at the moment, he firmly believed that it would repay him one day for his painstaking efforts in nurturing it…

He felt sorry for the waste, though . Only if the rate of engulfment could be upped to one gargoyle per minute, he was positive that all gargoyles in the remain could be cleared in due time…

Meng Jingchan spent a total of two hours watching him clearing the gargoyles . Despite not knowing his intentions at first, she soon discovered that the divine water was expanding in size .

She was shocked . It was a growing mythical object!

Based on her experience after the regeneration of Spirit Qi, it was already a difficult task for an individual Practitioner to secure a competent magical weapon, not to mention articles like that of Lu Shu’s .

A deep sense of admiration filled her heart, but not a tinge of jealousy . In addition to her ambitions, she was a morally upright individual .

After realizing that it was only a simple, pipeline operation, Meng Jingchan returned to the campsite .

The mythical creature that they were frightened of looked like a small fry in front of Lu Shu .

Lu Shu did not go back to the camp until sunrise . He did not get carried away because there were better and more awesome profits awaiting his discovery…

Besides, the gargoyles here would not flee . If he did not manage to find anything satisfactory, he could return to the periphery and have a heart to heart chat with the gargoyles…

In fact, the problem was his giant friends in the area that had already been eaten up by his divine water…

Moreover, he needed the protection offered by Evan’s team, just in case they ran into real plights .

The boundary between day and night seemed to be blurred here, as the sunlight was equally feeble .

No one asked Lu Shu where he had been all night, because no one cared . In their perception, he could not have gone far . If not, he would certainly have been dead had he triggered a gargoyle .

Until then, only Lu Shu and Meng Jingchan knew that gargoyles would rest at night .

At this moment, a bunch of people were running for their lives ahead, with blood stains on their bodies . Chasing them were a dozen of gargoyles, their faces ferocious .

Together, the span of their wings could blot out the sky .

Evan shouted in alarm, “Warning! Don’t run towards us!” His brain was throbbing in fear, as it was their first time to face so many gargoyles at the same time . Thus, he instinctively tried to avoid the confrontation .

How could he help others when he could not even ensure his own safety?

“Help!” a girl shouted at the top of her lungs from the front line . Her heavenly features were irresistibly attractive . Coupled with her blood-tainted face and her shattered clothings, men could almost feel the compulsion to protect her . Evan could see her sapphire eyes even from the distance, and the tears rolling down her lovely cheeks .

He hesitated, should he save her?

In movies, there was an often-used plot whereby a hero risked their life to save the damsel in distress . It often made the audience bewildered, what good did it do for the hero?

In fact, such questions stemmed from the overestimation of men’s resistance against attractive females… Countless men had fought and died for women they fell for…

To Evan, the possibilities after saving the girl was far more important than the process of rescuing itself!

Before he could think it through, a shadow swooshed past, “I’m coming to save you!”

Was that not the slacker Lu Mu? Why? Wa he suddenly excited by the beauty?!

“From Evan Walsh’s distress, +422…”

“From Meng Jingchan…”

Meng Jingchan was shocked too . It turned out that Lu Mu was just another boy who would give in to femme fatales .

His proaction caught the other team by surprise . They saw a glint of hope!

But before they could react, Lu Shu dashed through the crowd towards the gargoyles head-on!

“Such an idiot! Doe he wanna die?”

“Oh my God, he’s gonna get attacked by ten plus gargoyles at the same time! He’s dead!”

No one saw it coming . Biting her lips, the pretty girl looked back, stunned by the stranger’s selfless decision to buy her team more time . Judging from the boy’s “teammates'” reaction, it seemed unlikely that he would ever survive the siege .

Just when he was about to be surrounded, Lu Shu evaded most gargoyles at indescribable speeds and caught one by its leg amidst the chaos .

Losing its balance, the gargoyle was dragged along by Lu Shu away from the horde, its right wing flapping backwards in the strong winds . In order to prevent it from struggling, Lu Shu even hurled it back and forth like a broken kite…

Before the two groups could meet, Lu Shu had already run far away with the gargoyle in his grip…

He even darted past Evan’s line of defense, disregarding other people’s unbelievable stares…

“This one is on me . I’ll leave the rest to you all!” then, he disappeared from their view . Everyone was dumbstruck . Lu Shu’s entire performance took less than half a minute…

Evan, “…”

Meng Jingchan, “…”

Gargoyles, “…”
