There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 249: Wherever Lu Yue went, the people welcomed him wholeheartedly
"Here he comes, here he comes, he's back."

"Hurry, hurry, get ready..."

As soon as Lu Yue stepped through the gate, a group of extraordinary people rushed up.

They all presented the rare treasures they had found yesterday.

Lu Yue noticed that the team of nearly forty people was reduced to only a dozen people.

After some questioning, Lu Yue learned that although these people were grateful for his life-saving grace, after a whole day of searching, they found that the natural treasures were too difficult to find.

So some people left quietly after an ideological struggle.

As for whether these people left the ruins or did not return to the gathering place because they were too embarrassed to face Lu Yue, it actually doesn’t matter anymore. The only ones who can come back now are the dozen or so people who kept their promise.

Lu Yue glanced at the rare treasures in these people's hands. It was not easy for these people to find more than a dozen rare treasures in one day.

And it can prove a point.

These people are grateful and have good character.

Lu Yue accepted the rare treasures and told these people that there would be a surprise in the evening.

Everyone at the scene was confused and did not understand the meaning of Lu Yue's words.

Lu Yue did not explain. He returned to the wooden house and took out the longevity statue from the body bag.

What is certain at present is that this is a stone statue built based on the first generation longevity god Peng Zu, and it was chopped into pieces by a ghost-head knife, and the other parts are still scattered on this island.

Since the head can avoid the influence of the night rules.

Then other parts can most likely be avoided.

Lu Yue looked at the human head statue again. This thing could absorb the lifespan that was supposed to be rewarded to the extraordinary people by the rules of the ruins during the day, and once someone touched it, it would also absorb the lifespan.

All these behaviors can prove that the other person is in great need of longevity.

So what does it want to do?
Also, what is its connection with the first generation of longevity gods, Peng Zu, and why did it hunt down the last generation of longevity gods? What happened on the land outside the island in the once complete ruins?
"You seem to be in great need of life. Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Lu Yue asked three questions directly.

But the statue did not give any answer, just like a dead object.

However, Lu Yue always felt that this human head was not a dead object.

"If you don't speak, I will seal you in a body bag forever. You have seen the effect of this thing. Don't even think about absorbing other people's lifespans in your lifetime."

Lu Yue began to threaten, and this time the human head statue responded.

"It's you... You show up again... I'm sorry... I failed..."

Lu Yue raised his eyebrows and instantly perked up.

What does it mean?
What do you mean you show up again? ! ! !

It was clearly the first time he saw this longevity statue.

"Do you know me?" Lu Yue asked quickly.

"You are not her... I am very weak... Please tell me... I failed to complete what she asked me to do... I am sorry... The end... I am dead..."

The message conveyed by the human head longevity statue is intermittent, and it mentions the end.

Is this the end of the underworld that Taoist Fang talked about?

And who died?

Why did the human head statue apologize?
I am not her, who is this she?

Is it because you didn’t pay your “phone bill” that you speak incoherently?
Lu Yue patted the statue of longevity, but there was no response for a long time. At this moment, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind. Is this "she" referring to Zhang Yaling?
Carefully recalling what had happened before, from beginning to end, the only things that the human-headed statue could come into contact with were him and the body bag, but it was obvious that the other party was not talking about him, and he was asked to convey a message. It was obvious that the other party had noticed something from the body bag.

After all, it was hatched by Zhang Yaling, so it is normal to have her scent on it.

"I know Zhang Yaling. Are you looking for her? If so, let me know."

After he finished speaking, Lu Yue realized that his words were a little inappropriate. The other party might not know Zhang Yaling, because Zhang Yaling's name was actually borrowed from someone else.

However, although there is no direct evidence, Lu Yue feels that this possibility is very high. Unfortunately, the human head statue did not respond and seemed to have fallen into some kind of sleep.

After thinking it over again and again, Lu Yue put it back into the body bag.

It's daytime now, and we must get the most out of these eight hours.

He could only let the human-headed statue suffer for a while. Besides, Lu Yue also wanted to see if the human-headed statue would reveal some information when it came into contact with the body bag again and sensed Zhang Yaling's aura.

After doing all this, Lu Yue checked his current skills which had not yet been perfected.

The third layer of yellow jade body in the "Jade Body Chapter of the I Ching Xisui Jing Fifth Edition".

"The Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing: The Dragon's Roar Sutra, Third Edition" Six golden dragons.

The third level of "The Book of Infinite Heart Fire, Third Edition".

The second level of "The Thirty-Six Axe Scriptures of Breaking Mountains in the Nine Heavens, Second Edition".

There are currently 254 strands of source energy.

One hundred and forty-six strands of source energy are needed to further improve the quality of "The Infinite Heart Fire Book". Here, the source energy can only be accumulated by killing negative people or finding rare treasures.

Lu Yue checked the remaining life of his wrist again.

Only twenty-seven years.

This guy has been squeezed a lot by the head of the lifespan.

Fortunately, he has peaches.

Lu Yue ate four peaches the size of a human head in a row to replenish his lifespan by forty years. Then he looked at the other fruits handed in by the extraordinary people. These were actually common fruits, such as coconuts, mangoes, bananas, pineapples, blueberries, strawberries, etc.

Take them one by one.

Lifespan +1, Lifespan +1, Lifespan +2, Lifespan +3……

Among them, a very few are of good quality and can extend one's life by three years.

Finally, Lu Yue increased his remaining lifespan to 88 years. On the one hand, this number was auspicious, and on the other hand, it was really a bit too much. After all, these were all natural treasures. Replenishing lifespan was only one aspect of it. They also contained tremendous spiritual energy.

Lu Yue could not use such abundant spiritual energy to improve his strength like other extraordinary people, and it was not a good thing for this thing to gather in his stomach, making it feel like he was pregnant.

So Lu Yue chose to let it go.

puff!
An extremely rich spiritual energy discharged from Lu Yue's body.

If other extraordinary people saw this scene, they would definitely curse. The high-concentration spiritual energy that they dreamed of was not only not absorbed by Lu Yue, but also treated as a fart.

It's such a waste of resources, can't we put it in a bottle and give it to them? !

After draining out his spiritual energy, Lu Yue felt refreshed.

Continue to practice "The Third Edition of the Heart Fire Infinite Heavenly Book".

Time passed quietly like flowing water, and it was almost evening when Lu Yue stopped practicing. He then took out the human head statue from the body bag and asked a few more questions, but the statue still did not answer.

Lu Yue sighed and stopped forcing it.

After all, it was what he would need to get through the next sixteen hours of lonely night.

At this time, outside the gathering place where Lu Yue was, the extraordinary people who had been searching outside for a whole day also returned to the gathering place one after another, with worry in their eyes.

Today's harvest was not very good.

In the outer areas of the ruins fragments, the effort and reward are seriously disproportionate.

If this continues, they will have to consider withdrawing.

After all, although spiritual practice is important, longevity is more precious.

Soon, night fell, and everyone gathered in the wooden house, looking miserable. While practicing anxiously, they kept an eye on the lifespan number on their wrists.

An hour has passed...

Suddenly, an extraordinary being let out a light exclamation.

He was surprised to find that the number on his wrist had not decreased.

Two hours have passed...

Several extraordinary people stared at their wrists in disbelief.

Their lifespan really hasn’t been reduced!

Three hours have passed...

Everyone rushed out of the wooden house, feeling incredible. Could it be that the rules of the ruins had changed? But this was too much of a coincidence, until someone remembered what Lu Yue had said during the day.

Is this a surprise? !!! No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, when Lu Yue put the human head statue into the body bag and prepared to go out, he found that everyone had gathered at the door.

Someone took out a few packages of pre-prepared breakfast meals that were easy to carry and heated them up using the ability of a superhuman. When he saw Lu Yue coming out, he immediately handed them over.

Someone else came behind and brought some rare treasures that we had harvested yesterday.

The surprise Lu Yue gave them meant that they did not lose a year of their lifespan in the sixteen hours last night. Even if they took these rare treasures, they would only increase their lifespan by one or two years, so it was totally worth their willingness to give them up.

At this moment, the eyes of more than a dozen people were full of respect and admiration.

My parents gave me life, and Lu Yue increased my lifespan.

They couldn't think of any way to repay this kindness.

Lu Yue, who understood everything, smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness. You can all share these pre-prepared dishes. Just keep the natural treasures."

In the end, Lu Yue accepted all the rare treasures.

Another ten strands of source energy were harvested.

After doing all this, Lu Yue left the gathering place.

Embark on the journey of the Harvest Plan.

This is what he thought of last night.

On the outskirts of the ruins, there must be many extraordinary people like corpse drivers and corpse retrievers who entered the ruins early, but whose lifespans became negative for various reasons. They signed contracts with the God of Longevity to earn lifespans to repay their debts.

Just by robbing the corpse drivers and corpse retrievers, you can gain so much source energy. If you rob other negative people, the harvest will be unimaginable.

As for how to find the traces of negative people, it is also very simple.

On the outskirts of the ruins, there are many temporary gathering places similar to the one where Lu Yue is, and these gathering places are like a piece of sweet cake in the eyes of those negative people who want to make a comeback.

So as long as we find other gathering places, we can find the traces of negative people.

Lu Yue's eyes lit up and he began to rob... No, he embraced his great ideal and participated in the glorious cause of saving the gathering place of suffering people.

It’s all about peace!
Any place caught in the turmoil of war should be rescued.

.........

The outer area of ​​the ruins island.

Most of those who choose to land here are self-aware and understand that it is difficult for them to win the game in the end, so they think it is better to take this opportunity to improve their strength.

Most of these people's cultivation is at the fourth level of the Divine Hidden Realm.

At this time, in a temporary gathering place.

Black smoke rose up and the sound of fighting was deafening.

"Who are you two and why did you attack our gathering place?!!"

"We have no grudges against each other, what is going on?"

More than twenty extraordinary people at the scene were in panic. Just after dawn, they were about to leave to look for rare treasures, but they were unexpectedly attacked by two unidentified people.

Although they had the advantage in numbers, the situation was almost one-sided.

One of the two attackers was carrying a dried-up ancient corpse on his back. The corpse exuded a strong evil aura. Every time it attacked, several extraordinary people were scratched by it. The wounds sizzled and emitted black smoke, and could not heal for a long time, so they lost their combat effectiveness.

The other was a burly man holding a wooden stick. The man was extremely strong and swung the stick. Every time he swung it, at least one extraordinary person would be seriously injured and vomit blood.

"Corpse Carrier, this ancient corpse of yours is quite ferocious. Where did you dig it up?"

"There are many opportunities in this relic. I also found this century-old corpse here. It was one of the extraordinary people who entered here in advance. I cultivated it for two months and it finally transformed into a corpse."

"Palm bearer, your ancestral coffin stick is not bad, but you have to be careful not to kill these walking longevity ginsengs."

"Don't worry, I know my limits. I don't even want to kill these walking ginsengs. The most I can do is make them spit out some blood."

"It's still the same old rule, half for each person."

"No problem, it's a pleasure to work with you."

The coffin bearer laughed twice, and then shouted to the extraordinary people in the gathering place: "Listen to me, you ginseng, we don't want to kill people, so as long as you hand over 90% of your life span, we will spare your life."

As soon as the words fell, someone in the gathering place exclaimed.

"You...you two are negative people?!"

They have also heard about the news about the negative people in the past few days. These people entered the ruins early, but due to various reasons, they owed a lot of life debts and therefore urgently need to repay their debts. It is said that many gathering places have been attacked.

I didn't expect that they would run into each other today.

Moreover, I met two of them at once.

One was a corpse carrier and the other was a coffin bearer.

They are all extraordinary people who make a living by eating the dead.

"Wait, Senior, can you please stop first so we can talk."

The current situation has become clear. A leader in the gathering place tries to quell the war through negotiations. However, they ignore the fact that what cannot be obtained on the battlefield cannot be obtained at the negotiating table.

"Haha, it seems like you won't surrender unless I kill a few of you."

The coffin bearers suddenly moved, ready to swing their sticks to hit the leader to death as a warning, but at this moment, a ghostly fire aura descended from the sky without warning.

Everyone only saw a flash before their eyes, followed by a loud bang.

Bang!
Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and smoke and dust flew everywhere.

When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, it was seen that the coffin bearer had been split in half.

The survivors in the gathering place saw a young figure approaching at an extremely fast speed in the distance, and in the blink of an eye he was only a dozen meters away from them.

"Who are you?!"

The corpse carrier standing by looked at the body of his teammate in disbelief.

How could such a powerful character appear in this peripheral area?

"The person who killed you."

Lu Yue attacked without any hesitation, wielding the bronze axe in his hand with great force. Streams of energy fell like thunder. In an instant, the axe energy became as dense as rain, and like raging waves, it covered the corpse-carrying craftsman layer by layer.

Everything around was destroyed beyond recognition, and the ground was plowed with horrific marks by the strong energy. The so-called century-old corpse was chopped into pieces by the axe energy before it could get close.

"Wait, Senior, can you please stop first so we can talk."

The corpse carrier was terrified and repeated the words of the previous leader. He found that he was completely unable to block the attack of the young man.

"You're ugly, let's not talk about it."

Boom boom!

Lu Yue increased the strength in his hands, and the frightened and wounded corpse carrier in front of him was finally unable to resist and tried to flee the scene, but he was still caught up by the axe energy and his body was torn into pieces.

The two negative people plus the ancient corpse provide a total of thirty strands of source energy.

Lu Yue showed a satisfied expression. After solving the problem, he left the scene without stopping for a moment and looked for the next gathering place.

It all happened so quickly, leaving everyone behind with deep shock.

Who is this young man who took action?

In the next few days, Lu Yue went back and forth between these two points.

During the day, leave the gathering place and rescue other trapped gathering places.

At night, they return to the gathering place and harvest the natural treasures offered by others.

Slowly, on the outskirts of the island in the ruins, a legend quietly spread that a master was saving every gathering place shrouded in suffering with his noble character and extraordinary strength.

Wherever the man went, evil people were caught.

[Source Energy +1, +1, +1...]

Wherever he went these days, the people welcomed him wholeheartedly, dancing and crying, and many gathering places were filled with a lively scene.

Hunting those negative people who harvested the lifespans of extraordinary people, plus the natural treasures contributed by some people, Lu Yue harvested a total of 130 strands of source energy in the past few days.

After staying in the outskirts for more than a week, as the area around the stronghold was completely cleared, Lu Yue knew it was time to leave. So he said goodbye to the extraordinary people who had spent a few good days in the gathering place, and started to head towards the center of the ruins.

The update time this month may be late or early, but I will definitely update it because I have no leave applications this month, and if I don’t update it, I will not be fully present.
