Chapter 2612 Fire Smelting
Xu Lu had never seen an opponent like Zhang Xuezhou.

The other party knows what to ask and what not to ask, what to take and what not to take.

If he fell into Hu Yu's hands, Xu Lu felt that he would be tortured by the same exploitation as his ancestors for eighteen generations until all his value was squeezed out, and then he would be rewarded with a quick death.

What Zhang Xuezhou asked were just some common sense. He did not take away the fire that Xu Lu relied on for survival, nor did he kill himself.

But Xu Lu also had a headache with people like Zhang Xuezhou. He felt that Zhang Xuezhou's temperament was relatively stable and reliable, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't think highly of him at all.

Watching Zhang Xuezhou floating in the wind and looking in the direction of the snake cave, Xu Lu knew very well that once the other party was sure that there was no threat, he would fly closer.

"Don't think about taking advantage of Hu Yu, and don't think about showing up. Once he finds you, you won't be able to escape his pursuit at your speed!"

Xu Lu thought for more than ten seconds before speaking cautiously.

"Oh?"

"If he can't find me, he will definitely set up some tricks there. Once you break in, he will be attracted and become suspicious of you. He will chase you like a ghost!"

"Is he that powerful?"

"Even if you just get close to the area he has set up, he will put you on the list of suspects!"

"You mean I need to wait until he's far away from here, or wait until the means he has set up become ineffective before I can get closer?"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the virtual furnace which was only ten centimeters high.

At this time, Xu Lu took on the appearance of a human, with limbs and body in extremely strong proportions, but a relatively thin head.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that Xu Lu took Zhou Xin's body and the proportions of his head as reference to create this thing.

But compared to the previous wooden stick form, the current virtual furnace form lacks some of the terrifying characteristics of alien creatures, which also made Zhang Xuezhou accept a lot from a sensory perspective.

"No, no, no, you should leave now," Xu Lu warned, "and you need to take me with you. Only when I regain a certain level of strength can I take you there safely!"

"You're talking nonsense again," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand.

"I'm telling the truth," Xu Lu said, "Only I can unlock the underground layout. If you want to get something, you must need me, even if you don't need me to target Hu Yu. Otherwise, you won't get any benefits and may even be hunted down by Hu Yu!"

"I don't need too much. If someone doesn't want it, I'll go take a look and just pick up a little!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, indicating that he did not covet Xu Lu's wealth.

Neither the Snake Cave Medicine nor the Qin Meng Secret Stone that Zhang Xuezhou was pursuing was a secret. He didn't think he needed the help of the Void Furnace to dig out the snake feces.

Zhang Xuezhou believed that Hu Yu had very powerful means, and Ding Kui, whose power could easily affect an area of ​​ten miles, made him extremely wary, but Zhang Xuezhou did not believe that Hu Yu could be perfect.

If the opponent is really perfect without any flaws, Hu Yu can attack the snake cave by force, and Hu Yu will not need any subordinates.

Wherever there are defects in tiger training, there will inevitably be corresponding opportunities. Zhang Xuezhou is not greedy. He will take as much as he can, and if he can't take it, he will think about it later. He has no intention of eating too much at once.

Hu Yu’s strength makes Zhang Xuezhou alert and cautious, while Xu Lu makes Zhang Xuezhou a little fearful.

His previous brief negotiation with Xu Lu almost resulted in a backlash from the other party. If he were to obey Xu Lu's arrangements, that would be absolutely impossible.

Xu Lu has been dead for many years, but he can still make Hu Yu, who holds Dingkui, afraid of him, and even deliberately arrange Hu Hao to be a spearhead to test him. Zhang Xuezhou does not think that Xu Lu is harmless.

He did not ask about Xu Lu's origins, but those who could step into this world were either old people seeking a chance or top talents seeking opportunities. The former would have a trump card of a life-and-death fight, for example, Huang Daoxian fled far away and disappeared at the moment of risking his life, while the latter would most likely involve the corresponding background.

Zhang Xuezhou had no other intention in keeping Xu Lu alive. As long as his life was not threatened, or the other party was of indispensable value, he did not want to give Xu Lu a final blow on the head and then be involved in factors that might lead to tracking and investigation, and eventually get into trouble.

"With your level of cultivation strength, this shouldn't be the case!" Xu Lu seemed extremely helpless.

No matter what race they are, they all seek to gain advantage; this is their nature and cannot be changed.

But Xu Lu had never seen a cultivator like Zhang Xuezhou. The other party was just a spectator, who just wanted to make some money, even if he couldn't make any money.

Normally, Zhang Xuezhou's mentality should make him a passerby in the dark law, but Zhang Xuezhou happens to have extremely high level of strength.

Xu Lu's vision and perception are not bad. He can distinguish the quality of living beings. Xu Lu feels that Zhang Xuezhou's quality exceeds that of Zhou Xin, whose body he had previously wanted to forcibly occupy.

Zhou Xin worked hard and diligently, and tried his best to find opportunities, while Zhang Xuezhou was casual and didn't care.

In normal concepts, only the former are geniuses, and only the former can stand out from the dark laws, but the reality is that the latter are superior in the human group.

Xu Lu didn't understand the reason. From his perspective, he felt that Zhang Xuezhou's character shouldn't have the strength he had now.

"This is the only way I can do with my cultivation strength," Zhang Xuezhou corrected.

"But...but this shouldn't be the case!"

Xu Lu found it difficult to persuade Zhang Xuezhou, nor was it possible to establish a cooperative relationship.

Looking at the endless mountains, Xu Lu felt waves of despair surging in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

"I still have..."

When Xu Lu was about to speak to persuade him, he saw a ray of green light floating by, and there was no trace of Zhang Xuezhou in front of him.

"Damn it, they just abandoned me like that. No one has ever ignored me like this before. Wow, I'm so angry!"

Xu Lu jumped up and down in a frenzy, and his spirit body, which was not very tall to begin with, collapsed like a shoddy construction, leaving only the ruby-like fire on his head, which rolled several times on the ground.

"Calm down, calm down, take a deep breath, I still have a chance to turn things around, I won't die in a place like this..."

The low muttering gradually fell into silence, and the ruby ​​embedded in the soil bloomed like a red flower.

The color of this red flower is dazzling, and it looks out of place with its surroundings.

As long as you can see, even if you have the worst eyesight, you can see this abnormal, dazzling red.

"Huhuhu~"

Low panting sounds approached along with the sound of running footsteps, and a hairless tiger-like creature approached cautiously.

It was as if there was no resistance at all. No matter how cautious the tiger-shaped creature was, it couldn't stop itself from approaching.

As soon as the claws reached for the red flower, the red flower instantly shrank and disappeared, replaced by a pool of gray liquid.

The effect was exactly the same as that on Zhang Xuezhou's body. After just a brief contact, the gray fluid had completely enveloped him.

"Smelting!"

Amidst the low sound, flames emerged, continuously burning the tiger-shaped creature's body up and down.

The creature's body began to deform, with the hairless limbs being the first to begin to reshape.

The gray-black stick-like shape just appeared, and then it turned into five fingers in human form.

There was no roar or struggle at all, as if all senses were completely blocked. The hairless tiger-shaped creature lost everything the moment of contact and could only allow its body to be forcibly melted and transformed.
