Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 109 makes another leap forward

Although the Shazituan were victims in the Red Willow story, they were not the simple villagers in a paradise, but a group of refugees who huddled together for warmth.

As people died one by one, some uncivilized and impolite incidents broke out in the cave, which caused damage to many things in the cave.

For the past ten days or so, Lu Zhao has mostly been cultivating. When he rests, he helps tinker with the broken machines, such as fuel generators, water purifiers, and lights used for growing vegetables in the cave.

However, he was not Wang Zhao after all, and the conditions here were far inferior to those in the warship's engineering area, so most of the repairs were actually unsuccessful.

Anyway, we decided to give it a shot. Regardless of whether we knew how to fix it, we tried our hand at it. We not only gained a lot of repair experience, but also managed to fix some things, which improved the conditions in the huge cave considerably.

By this time, Lu Zhao had become close friends with the seven Calabash Brothers. If one didn't trace back further, he would seem like a refugee in the wilderness.

The fat and thin monks and their brothers were carefree and happy, only becoming fierce when talking about revenge.

Hongliu's inner conflict visibly grew stronger each day. She must have really wanted Lu Zhao to leave, but with the important matter unresolved, she was afraid that letting him go would lead to a leak, and she dared not gamble with the lives of her entire group.

"Big sister."

The skinny, fat monk said, "I think my elder brother is a good person."

They thought Lu Zhao was strong and could repair machines, so they started calling him "Big Brother" at some point.

Hongliu poked around in the sand with a steel bar.

"He's practicing martial arts, trying to learn how to escape from me."

She knew very well what Lu Zhao was thinking, and she also knew that Lu Zhao knew she knew what Lu Zhao was thinking, but neither of them had ever spoken about this issue directly.

It was as if there was an unspoken agreement, waiting for the day when they would have a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.

However, Hongliu did not think she would lose. No matter how strong the opponent was, no matter that the opponent was "Sui Chaoyu's son", she found it hard to believe that someone who was still in the Steel Bone Realm just over ten days ago could beat her.

Master is right. The outside world is very complicated. You can only know it by experiencing it yourself.

Hongliu finally understood why her master, such a powerful person, had looked so bewildered when he said those words to her.

What should we do?

Just as she was starting to struggle with this decision again, a buzzing sound came from outside the rock formations above her.

Helicopter.

Everyone's attention was focused.

The six brothers, Fat and Thin Monks, only had impaired mental function due to medication, but their instinctive memories remained.

Back when the Sand Group was still around, hearing such a sound meant being on high alert. If discovered, the pilots in the sky might set up machine guns and start firing at the target, or simply drop a few explosive shells.

Hong Liu, however, was different. Her intuition told her that the helicopter was there to search for Lu Zhao.

She was only half right. The helicopter was there to find the missing son of the Finance Minister, but Ling Dongxun, who sent the helicopter, was actually looking for Lu Zhao.

Clearly, Lu Zhao, who was cultivating, also heard the sound. He stood at the door of the tin hut, while Hong Liu stood at the entrance of the cave. The two looked at each other.

"6

""

pat.

Hong Liu jumped up on her own initiative.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you go."

She lowered her head, a rare occurrence for her, and stammered, "I... I'll find another way to make up for it..."

"Then teach me your martial arts technique."

"?"

"It's a martial art that's like dancing, the one where you spin around, the one you used on the first day you fought me."

Lu Zhao raised an eyebrow, looking like a pervert.

He now needs more advanced martial arts skills than the basic three-stroke technique in Wu Zuli to enhance the power of the three thousand.

At the same time, my cultivation level has already improved, and I'll break through to the fourth realm in the next two or three days. Now I'll start learning her martial arts techniques. Once I've mastered them, I'll run away immediately. Then I can make a move and directly break her moves.

However, after speaking, Hongliu looked troubled, as if this matter was a taboo.

But in the end, she gritted her teeth and insisted, "I'll teach you! I'm just afraid you're not at a high enough level to learn!"

Lu Zhao usually wouldn't deliberately play dumb, but here, he had no choice but to make a decision against his ancestors. For the past few days, he had been pretending that his cultivation level hadn't improved much, just like the day they first met.

This allows for a surprise attack when you can escape, increasing your chances of winning.

In other people's eyes, it's normal for someone to not make much progress after more than ten days of training in the Steel Bone Realm. Even Hong Liu didn't doubt it, which is why she said that her realm was not high enough to learn it.

In fact, although only a dozen days had passed, Lu Zhao's fragmented sleep and the four-hour overload cooldown of the dragon bone had led to a rapid increase in his cultivation efficiency.

[Steel Bone Realm: 70%]

[Details of specific sub-sectors:]

Muscle and bone training level: 76%

Skin and flesh training: 65%

Qi cultivation level: 71%

Neurological proficiency: 70%

Meridian Training Level: 69%

Half a month later, I reached the Steel Bone Realm, 70% complete. But the most difficult part, the tendons and bones, was held back by the other aspects. No one would believe it if I told them.

Although the super efficiency brought about by the overload of the keel will not exist once the side effect index returns to zero, it has provided Lu Zhao with an additional idea.

If this special skill is no longer useful, just copy another one, right? Anyway, once this mission ends, we'll be going to the front lines, where there are countless experts, and they probably have all kinds of special skills.

The thought of the mission suddenly gave Lu Zhao a headache.

"I wonder how things are outside."

"The divination indicates no danger to your life; await further instructions."

This is the latest instruction that Sui Chaoyu received.

He was completely numb.

How am I supposed to stand by?! If the intelligence I gathered yesterday is correct, they'll be taking action in no more than a month. I have to go with Luo Tianchong, so who the hell is going to do everything else?!

What's the use of just showing up and not being dead? Tell me where he is!

I'm going crazy if I don't find them soon!!!

He said coldly, "It's fine, if we can't find him, so be it. If he were my son, I would find him myself."

His inner thoughts and words were completely disconnected, but as an undercover agent, that's what you call professional.

Sui Chaoyu should be a rebellious wandering knight-errant who only treats the strong with indifference and does not bully the weak, so he would not make things difficult for his subordinates who are incompetent and cannot be found.

However, Bu Tianyan was not so easy to talk to.

"Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless!..."

""

He kicked someone down every time he said it, repeating it seven times in a row.

"You bunch of utter trash! Your nicknames are all incredibly arrogant, like 'Dragon Crossing the River, Tiger Descending the Mountain,' but you can't even find a single person here!!!"

Bu Tianyan's afro was practically standing on end. "Since you know you've already left the city, why the hell don't you go look for them?!"

These notorious gang leaders, who were feared on the streets, didn't dare to get up after being kicked down.

This is actually quite unreasonable. In the vast desert, you can find a cat anywhere in the sand pit, and whether you can find it or not depends entirely on luck.

Besides, the person might be dead.

Martial artists with a certain level of skill might work for some civilian organizations, but very few sorcerers would not serve the imperial court. Therefore, even though the Luobo Group was wealthy and powerful, none of them were capable of divination.

Even if someone is incredibly lucky and manages to recruit a sorcerer, they would still be a complete novice and could never be like Ji Ye, who could determine life and death without any clues.

"Second brother, don't worry, it's not like there's no chance. I will definitely find him."

After Bu Tianyan finished speaking, he felt a surge of impotent rage and turned to leave in a huff.

At first, when Sui Chaoyu said that the illegitimate child was coming, he didn't completely trust him.

On the one hand, he is the kind of person who is suspicious of everything. Even though the "second brother" he keeps calling out has already become sworn brothers with his own brother Luo Tianchong, he still feels that this person's appearance is a bit too timely.

On the other hand, even if Sui Chaoyu is fine, who knows if there are any problems with the illegitimate child who has been neglected and unloved by his parents for so many years? He might even have become a secret agent for the imperial court in the remote Liuyun Continent.

However, now, Xia Tianyan trusts his "elder nephew," whom he has never met, even more than Sui Chaoyu himself.

Because it's impossible for a normal imperial spies to be tied up and taken to the desert before they even show themselves, and then not return for half a month.

He left the corridor where he had kicked someone and went to the chairman's office. A refined man with short hair, who looked to be only middle-aged but whose temples were already gray, was sitting behind his desk, wearing glasses and looking at a contract.

"Big brother."

Bu Tianyan asked, "Have you received any news from over there?"

Luo Tianchong smiled at his younger brother: "Yes, a preliminary agreement has been reached."

Bu Tianyan hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Are you really going? This is the last chance to turn back. If they really are... well, that's a crime punishable by the extermination of an entire clan."

Luo Tianchong's smile no longer resembled that of a businessman in control, but rather that of an elder brother doting on his younger brother: "Don't worry about such things, Tianyan. Our crimes are already enough to warrant the execution of our entire family; this is just one more level of punishment. That old dog Zhao Yu has been eyeing us covetously. Without taking any risks, how can we compete with a family like the Zhao family, which has a strong foundation?"

Didn't their ancestors ever do this kind of business? Enough of that. Go pick a few young, capable men to come with me."
