Chapter 412: Calculations (1/2)

A sudden spike of pain stabbed into Lu Yin’s eyes, and two streaks of blood flowed down his cheeks. He looked down and rubbed his eyes, unable to continue looking at the runes in front of him any more. He then expelled the star energy from both eyes.

When he looked up again, this time, he saw a mountain towering in the distance, blocking most of the golden radiance. The mountain’s dark outline sharply contrasted against the golden light and cast a shadow over the forest, dividing it in two.

Currently, the trio was within the shadows, chasing after one another.

Lu Yin could not imagine what lay in the distance, and he did not even dare to look. It must be a terrifying being of strength, and its power level was definitely more than a few hundred thousand.

After some time, the war spirit gradually caught up with the Cruiser, who tried to probe the Hunter realm war spirit by exchanging some blows, but the Cruiser ended up being beaten to the point of spitting blood.

The Cruiser also noticed that Lu Yin was following behind them, and he growled in indignation.

Lu Yin immediately stopped. With the Hunter realm war spirit’s presence, he should not be concerned about this person’s anger.

The man had no choice but to continue moving forward to escape. Since the war spirit had latched onto him, the man’s hopes of escaping were quickly dwindling.

He pushed the trees of the forest aside and leaped forward. When he next looked up, he saw that the scenery around him had changed drastically. He was no longer a forest, but instead, a golden ocean.

The Cruiser was shocked at the sight of this golden ocean.

A terrifying strength approached him from behind, and the man’s body turned to stone as he crossed both arms to block the blow. With a bang, the war spirit sent him flying before he crashed heavily into the white beach. The Cruiser spat out a mouthful of blood and looked up in terror, only to realize that the war spirit had not pursued him any further, remaining on the fringe of the forest.

The man was ecstatic. It seemed that the war spirit was afraid of the golden ocean, not daring to approach it.

Cough cough

Lu Yin turned around.

The Cruiser stood up with some difficulty and wiped the blood from his lips. He stared coldly at Lu Yin. “Why didn’t that thing attack you? Do you know how to get out of here?”

Lu Yin’s lips quirked up, and he slowly walked towards the man. “If I were you, I wouldn’t be thinking of how to get out. Rather, I’d be thinking of how to save myself.”

The Cruiser laughed as he retrieved something from his cosmic ring and quickly swallowed it. “You actually think that I can’t beat you if I’m injured! You’re underestimating a Cruiser.”

Lu Yin frowned, as this person was troublesome; his strength was not that of a normal Cruiser’s. Based on power level, this person could probably rival an expert at the bottom end of the Top Hundred Rankings, and he wasn’t inferior to Northgate Lie by much. Although Lu Yin could use Progenitor Wushang’s hide to catch this person off guard and kill him, he had already used this tactic once in outer space while both of them were trying to escape from the storm. So, this person would almost have precautionary measures against Lu Yin using it for a second time.

The Cruiser stared at Lu Yin, as he was aware that his own injuries were severe enough that they would not be easily treated even with Shamrock Enterprises’ special drugs. Moreover, this Limiteer in front of him was not weak, and was actually one of those top freaks in the Limiteer realm. More importantly, the Cruiser still remembered being inexplicably dazzled when they had fought in outer space. This person had some kind of strange weapon.

He looked through his memories and then closed his eyes.

Lu Yin’s heart jumped, and he smiled bitterly. Sure enough, this person was being vigilant about being stunned again.

Neither of the two acted immediately.

From Lu Yin’s point of view, it was not prudent to fight in this unsafe environment, which would be equally detrimental to both of them.

“Seventh Bro, where are we?” the monkey suddenly spoke up, startling Lu Yin since he was in the middle of a fight.

On the white beach, neither Lu Yin nor the Cruiser spoke. The monkey rejoiced that he had not died and immediately started spouting nonsense about how he could be killed so easily. Lu Yin could not cut off the star energy to his right hand, as he had to keep his guard up against the Cruiser.

“It wasn’t right how we treated you in space, but you killed my brother, so let’s cancel our grudges for now. How about it?” The Cruiser spoke first before continuing, saying, “Don’t think that I’m afraid of you. Under these circumstances, neither of us will benefit from being injured. I’ve traveled through the universe for many years, and I’m much more experienced than you. You should listen to me.”

Lu Yin muttered to himself for a moment before answering, “Sure.”

The Cruiser opened his eyes, but he didn’t dare to look directly at Lu Yin out of fear of being stunned by Progenitor Wushang’s hide. “We’re already inside the storm. It probably transported us to a secret dimension, so it’ll be nearly impossible for us to get out.”

“What? Inside the storm? Secret dimension? Seventh Bro, you didn’t escape?” the monkey lamented.

Lu Yin was vexed, and he directly cut off the star energy to his right arm. “It’s rumored that people have walked out of here alive before.”

“They all lost their memories,” the Cruiser dryly replied.

Lu Yin looked at the golden ocean and noted that it seemed as if all remnants of the Rune Technology Civilization had oceans, such as the Ocean of Death and this golden ocean.

The Cruiser glanced at Lu Yin, wanting to hear from this person himself why he had not been attacked by that war spirit from before. However, he knew that he would receive no answer even if he asked. He would recuperate first and then dispose of this kid.

Lu Yin pointed at the tall mountain in the middle of the golden ocean. “What do you think? Do you think that climbing that is the way out?”

The Cruiser nodded. “Possibly.”

The two did not speak any further. The Cruiser only wanted to treat his injuries without delay. Meanwhile, Lu Yin walked over to the forest and snapped off a branch. He then approached the ocean and used the branch to probe the water.

The Cruiser watched on carefully.
