Chapter 314: 314,Three-Eyed (Thanks to the alliance hierarch “The Only Dead Fatty” for the reward!)
Outside the altar, Mao Nanbei looked around, her cat ears stood upright, but she couldn’t locate Lu Xun’s aura no matter how hard she tried.
She didn’t even know how Lu Xun was teleported elsewhere.
“Did I lose little junior brother?” Mao Nanbei contemplated.
She went a long way under the water but still couldn’t find anything.
The clever her, finally chose…to wait on the spot.
On the other side, Lu Xun couldn’t find the words to describe the scene in front of him.
The sudden change disrupted his plans.
He didn’t plan to enter the altar this time!
“Why the hell is it so convenient for me now?” Lu Xun was silent.
It seems like it’s mostly related to that mysterious pearl.
The pearl is the core of the altar, with every altar power stemming from the same source, leading to the altar not rejecting Lu Xun at all.
He is probably not even considered an outsider!
“Yo, you’re here?
Come on in.” It turned into such a rhythm.
“So it treats me as one of its altar brothers!” Lu Xun didn’t expect this to happen.
He looked around and, thankfully, there was no one else.
This made him a bit scared.
If when he entered, like last time, there was a high-level foreign race squatting inside, now that would’ve been hilarious.
Lu Xun stood at the edge of the altar and walked towards the interior.
Soon, he arrived at the center of the altar.
Lu Xun crouched down and looked around, but he didn’t see the mysterious pearl.
A place in the center of the altar was a little recessed where the pearl should be placed. But now, it was empty and there wasn’t a pearl.
“Was it completely absorbed by the altar?” Lu Xun speculated.
After all, in his previous life, when players dismantled the altar, they didn’t drop the mysterious pearl.
The reason Lu Xun had one was because the previous altar was still a semi-finished product and the power of the pearl hadn’t been completely absorbed.
When the altar was complete, the pearl would merge into one with it.
“Why am I thinking so much about the pearl? It’s of no use to me. Why am I so obsessed with the pearl like a sword sheath?” Lu Xun was complaining about himself in his heart.
He had obtained the two abilities of perceiving foreign races and unhindered passage through any altar.
The mysterious pearl was no longer necessary for him.
After all, things like perception grew wider with the expansion of divine senses, and it wasn’t related to the number of pearls swallowed.
The most noticeable enhancement of the pearl was the enhancement of the Primordial Power, a special attribute point that Lu Xun couldn’t use because of the faction problem…
Of course, he had no intention of defecting either.
Just that, last time he entered the altar, he was in a hurry both when he came and when he left.
He spent only a few seconds, ran out, and hadn’t even had time to see the entire altar.
Today, however, he took a careful look. It was essentially consistent with the screenshots posted by the players. There were also three eyes carved in the central area.
Three long, narrow eyes.
No matter from which angle you look, these three eyes looked as if they were staring at you.
Just like… everything was under its gaze!
This scene was obviously eerie, but for some reason, it gave people a sense of sacredness and sadness.
These three eyes appeared to be some form of ancient worship among the foreign race.
For some reason, looking at it made Lu Xun uncomfortable.
It was hard to describe, but he just felt uneasy all over.
Lu Xun gently hit the sword sheath and said, “Destroy it.”
Massive amounts of sword qi stored in the sheath flew out and directly blasted the altar.
Under the destruction of the sword qi, the altar started to crack.
Then, it began to cave in.
As expected, this place should have been constructed by some low-level foreign race.
Therefore, their defense mechanism wasn’t very strong.
Lu Xun easily broke through all obstacles.
This point would probably be enhanced after the large-scale arrival of the foreign race.
And the power generated by the mysterious pearl should also have certain self-protection attributes.
But Lu Xun also has this power, and it can suppress it to some extent.
The poor altar, thinking the intruder was one of its kind, but it ended up being someone who was forcibly demolishing it.
Even in this moment, Lu Xun had the leisure to dub, “Big hammer 80, small hammer 40…”
As the altar continuously cracked and collapsed, Lu Xun rose into the air. A large amount of Sword Qi, under his control, bombarded the center of the altar.
A tremendous noise erupted, shattering the entire altar.
A mysterious ripple emanated from the ruins, and then, the energy dissipated cleanly in the air.
“[You have successfully destroyed the Foreign Race Altar.]”
A prompt popped up before Lu Xun.
There were destruction rewards shown below, waiting to be claimed.
At the same time, the progress task was marked as [Completed].
Lu Xun had no intention of claiming the rewards here because it wasn’t safe.
But… how should I get out?
He looked up and was somewhat speechless.
The Foreign Race Altar was built on the land at the bottom of a small lake.
It was as if the lake’s bottom served as the ground level, making the place look something like an underground garage.
The altar wasn’t a new space carved out but was hidden within mountains and the likes of lake bottoms.
Lu Xun had no idea how the Foreign Race managed to hollow this place out and erect an altar.
They probably had unique tricks.
He looked around but didn’t see any tunneled entrance.
He only knew that he initially got teleported in, there in a “whoosh”– it was rather chic. But now he couldn’t teleport out; he was all alone in this…
Digging upward!
Lu Xun raised his right hand, a stream of Sword Qi gathered at his fingertip. He then leaped upwards, and the Sword Qi followed, piercing upwards, relentlessly opening up a path.
After a while, Mao Nanbei, still waiting at the bottom of the lake, saw in shock how his Little Junior Brother crawled out from the soil.
Lu Xun’s momentum was fierce, and he directly broke through the surface of the lake.
By the side of the small lake, Ji Li and Lin Chan were sitting together, waiting for Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei to finish their task.
They watched with their very eyes as Lu Xun’s fingertip circled with Sword Qi, pointing his sword at the sky, and flew into the air!
Once he reached high up in the air, he flicked off the water droplets from his black hair, emitting a splendid glow in the sunlight.
Ji Li and Lin Chan couldn’t help but stare in awe.
Lu Xun kept mum about his ordeal at the bottom of the lake in front of the two girls and a cat-eared loli.
The moment he leapt from the lake, his posture was indeed magnificent.
However, as the Sword Qi broke through the soil, he had to use [Pink Ink] to block the splattering mud which was somewhat embarrassing.
Mao Nanbei was a bit mad that Lu Xun refused to talk about his experience under the water.
It wasn’t until Lu Xun increased the promised four desserts to six that she cooled down.
It can hence be seen that Mao Nanbei’s dignity equates to two portions of dessert.
“Little Junior Brother, where are we going next?” Mao Nanbei put her little shoes back on and sat on a large rock, swinging her legs in the air as she asked.
“I need to find a quiet place to retreat.” Said Lu Xun.
“Ah? Lu Xun, you are about to make another breakthrough?” Ji Li asked, surprised.
Lu Xun nodded. After all, he has always been following the path of “breakthroughs for me are like eating and drinking”, saying that he is about to make another breakthrough doesn’t surprise anyone.
“What about the dessert you promised me?” Mao Nanbei reflexively asked.
After asking, she felt so embarrassed.
“Of course, I will prepare them before retreating.” Lu Xun said with a smile.
“Alright then! Actually… actually I wasn’t that concerned!” Mao Nanbei turned her head away. Her cat ears fluttered in the breeze.
Looking at her profile, Lu Xun thought to himself, “If I said I won’t make it, would she jump up and scratch my face?”
“Probably not; she wouldn’t dare touch my face, but at least she would leave a scratch on my arm.” He quickly concluded in his mind.
Demon Sect, Small Study in the backyard.
A man dressed in white robe stood alone in the study. With a cheap brush from the foot of the mountain in his hand, he was drawing on an ordinary piece of rice paper.
If Lu Xun were here, he would be shocked by what he was drawing.
It was three eyes.
Three very elongated eyes!
After the man finished the drawing, he put his brush down. He pondered for a moment, moving his fingers lightly, and the rice paper floated up. Then, from the bottom right corner, a flame gradually ignited, seemingly about to burn the drawing.
The flames engulfed the drawing, the man took one last look at the three eyes in it.
“How ugly.” He muttered, a hint of self-satisfaction in his tone.
