Chapter 805 - The Hunt (Part 2) (1/2)

To foreigners, flying swords were a symbol of supreme power in the Heavenly Network and only people of Class C and below would use close combat methods.

Thus, they had scattered their groups so as not to be sniped by flying swords.

Furthermore, all of them would be warned about the fatality of flying swords before they entered the forests.

But the attacking strategy of the enemy they were facing now was different from what they had expected. There were no flying swords, and the gray threads on the ground looked as threatening as a nest of snakes.

Subconsciously the team leader knew that his men could hardly survive this. But their enemy was still smiling, as if he had not taken them seriously.

When he was about to run, he realized that his escape route had been blocked by a dense formation of gray threads.

Lu Shu smiled. “You are the last group alive. Tell me about the campsites at the Tiger Back. I’ll grant you an easy death if you give me what I want.”

Lu Shu had visited the Heavenly Network campsite before going into the forests. There, he saw countless casualties and comrades’ bodies awaiting cremation.

Thus, he had no intention to spare the life of any foreign Practitioners he ran into.

Lu Shu was furious. He saw Li Yixiao and Nalan Que from afar, but he did not show himself. At the moment, he kept his own appearance with simple camouflage on his face. He looked like just another normal soldier of the Heavenly Network.

In any case, he could not afford to expose himself. Thus, he had to ensure his own safety by hiding in the shadows.

Therefore, before figuring out the power level of his opponents, Lu Shu had used another way of attack on this team instead of his typical strategies.

He knew that the party he was fighting against was probably watching the battle from behind the curtain and that he would be in serious trouble if his hidden enemies had their eyes on him.

But then Lu Shu realized that this kind of scouting troops was an easy kill. Thus, he could exterminate them effortlessly without using any of his trump cards up his sleeve.

All of a sudden, the Sparrow Shade materialized from his celestial map after Lu Shu had confirmed that there were no traps nearby. Now, the lives of the team lay in Lu Shu’s hands.

Surprisingly, though, he was equipped with an instant translation device…

Was he really here to fight? He did not look that tensed up as the other soldiers!

“Who are you?” the leader from the Red Sparrows asked, trying to buy them some time. He knew that there was a slim hope that they might live if their comrades 1km away could come to rescue them in time. After all, every team was connected by telecommunications to ensure those in danger could report their situations promptly to their support teams.

Lu Shu grinned. “Are you waiting for your comrades to rescue you? Sadly, they were wiped out half an hour ago.”

Fear seeped through the atmosphere. This team was totally unaware of when their comrades were killed!

Suddenly, the leader felt a piercing pain in his legs. He looked down to see two gray strands sinuating across his calves. Effortlessly the sharp blades of the Sparrow Shade penetrated his Spirit Qi armor like a cutter on a piece of paper.

During this period of time, a large influx of distress points was registered on Lu Shu’s end. As expected, fear was the best nutrient for the celestial map.
