When the team members heard Lu Yu’s words, their first reaction was to reject the idea.

“Captain Lu, this won’t do. How can we let you take the risk alone?”

“Let’s go together. We can take care of each other.”

“That’s right. How can we allow Captain to risk your life by yourself, while we hide behind your back? Then what’s the point of us coming out here?”

“…”

At this moment, Qin Yong also looked at Lu Yu and said, “Captain Lu, let’s go together. We can help each other out. It’s not safe for you to go alone.”

When Lu Yu heard them, he did not know what to say.

Needless to say, Lu Yu understood their good intentions. They were afraid that he would encounter danger and they wanted to be there to help him.

However, the reason Lu Yu didn’t want them to go was precisely because they weren’t strong enough.

After all, they were just a few Martial Masters and the rest were only high-level Martial Arts Warriors. They were no match at all for the powerful Fearsome Beasts if they ran into them, and they were definitely of no help to Lu Yu at all.

Lu Yu said helplessly, “Everyone, I know that you have good intentions, but your strengths are really limited. It’s better for me to go alone. If I encounter the Fearsome Beasts, I naturally know how to deal with them. Those that I can’t deal with, I’m confident that I can escape unscathed. But if you guys go with me, if we encounter any powerful Fearsome Beasts, not only will you not be able to help me, you may even become a burden to me. Do you understand?”

When Qin Yong and the others heard this, their expressions turned awkward.

When they thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true. The strongest among them were only at the level of Martial Master, whereas Lu Yu’s strength was unfathomable.

......

For example, earlier on, they were completely helpless against the B-class Fearsome Beast, the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros, while Lu Yu dealt with it so easily.

“All right, then we’ll wait here for you and not cause you any trouble. I hope you’ll proceed carefully,” Qin Yong said with an awkward expression.

Lu Yu was his hero. He was only willing to carry out such a dangerous mission because of Lu Yu. He thought he would be able to help Lu Yu.

Unexpectedly, when he finally arrived at the location, he realized that he wasn’t able to help Lu Yu at all. Instead, he might even have caused trouble for him.

Lu Yu could see the disappointment on Qin Yong and the other members’ faces. He smiled faintly and comforted them, “Don’t worry, there will be a time and place for you to contribute in the future. Now, you have to protect yourselves well before you can contribute to help me in the future. Only by surviving can you become stronger and be more useful. Don’t be rash and throw your lives away impetuously, understand?”

After listening to Lu Yu’s comforting words, Qin Yong and the others immediately came to their senses. Only by surviving and continuing to become stronger would they be able to help. The disappointment in their hearts immediately lessened.

“Captain Lu, we understand.”

“That’s right. We have to survive and become stronger quickly to help!”

“Captain Lu, just go without worry. We won’t cause you any trouble and will definitely protect ourselves well.”

“…”

All the members chimed in.

Seeing this, Lu Yu was relieved. He took the water bottles from his teammates and headed in the direction of the Sky Spring.

Although Lu Yu’s ability wasn’t weak and he had confidence in himself, the blood-sucking wasteland was filled with danger after all. Especially since this was already the inner part of the blood-sucking wasteland, the danger level was even higher. Lu Yu didn’t dare to lower his guard.

Lu Yu proceeded carefully, making as little noise as possible. He advanced cautiously, watching his back as he went.

Soon, Lu Yu arrived at a place not far from the Sky Spring. He could already see the situation down at the Sky Spring clearly.

However, after observing for a while, he noticed that the surroundings seemed extremely quiet. He did not see any Fearsome Beasts and there did not seem to be any danger.

Lu Yu was slightly relieved. He walked forward, intending to quickly get some water and leave.

However, just as he squatted down to get water, Lu Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly jumped away.

At the same time, a giant crocodile suddenly sprang out of the calm water surface. Lu Yu barely dodged it.

If Lu Yu had reacted a little slower just now, he would have already become food for the giant crocodile.

At this point, several giant crocodiles rushed out from the side. They all stared icily at Lu Yu and crawled towards him. From the looks of things, they had their eyes on Lu Yu and wanted to turn him into their dinner.

Lu Yu immediately felt a lingering fear. He didn’t expect that there would be a float of giant crocodiles hidden under the calm water surface.

Lu Yu hurriedly checked the information of these giant crocodiles on his smart bracelet.

[Sky Spring Giant Croc]

Introduction: Relying on the Sky Spring Water to mutate and become stronger, it accumulated terrifying strength.

Level: B-class

Strength: …

Reading through the information of the Sky Spring Giant Croc in front of him, Lu Yu was slightly surprised.

These Sky Spring Giant Crocs were all B-class powerful Fearsome Beasts

On the other hand, Lu Yu also learned that the reason these Sky Spring Giant Crocs were so powerful was because they drank the spring water from the Sky Spring for a long time.

In that case, the legends about the Sky Spring Water were all true. Drinking the spring water from this Sky Spring could indeed increase one’s strength to a certain extent!

At this moment, that bask of B-class Sky Spring Giant Crocs was slowly approaching Lu Yu.

Although their speed wasn’t fast, maybe even a little slow, they were all staring menacingly at Lu Yu. Coupled with their terrifying bodies, which were two times larger than ordinary crocodiles, they gave off an overbearing aura that made people tremble.

However, Lu Yu didn’t retreat.

During the battle with the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros, which was also B-class, Lu Yu had roughly figured out the difference in strength between him and a B-class Fearsome Beast.

Lu Yu could instantly kill these B-class Fearsome Beasts with about 50% of his strength.

Although he was facing a group of these B-class Fearsome Beasts, which meant that the danger was much greater, Lu Yu still wanted to give it a try.

Especially since he had just obtained the B-class skill Bloodlust, which could increase Lu Yu’s continuous combat strength. With the D-class skill Shadowstep, Lu Yu could avoid the group attacks of the Sky Spring Giant Crocs and not be surrounded by them. If he took on these creatures one by one, he could still overcome them.

Facing a bask of B-class Fearsome Beasts, the Sky Spring Giant Crocs, Lu Yu naturally didn’t dare to lower his guard.

He immediately drew out the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, which had already reached C-class level.

Activating the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill, his strength increased by 18 times.

Activating Shadowstep, Lu Yu’s agility immediately increased by a lot, giving himself an increase in speed and agility.

When everything was ready, Lu Yu faced this bask of B-class Fearsome Beasts, the Sky Spring Giant Crocs. Without hesitation, he charged at them.

Of course, Lu Yu didn’t rush forward blindly with brute force. He took the initiative to charge first because he wanted to take control of the battle. He chose a Sky Spring Giant Croc lurking at the outermost side of the bask.

Lu Yu was well aware that when facing a bask of Sky Spring Giant Crocs, he had to defeat them as soon as possible one by one. Only then could he finish all of them off or scare them away. Otherwise, if he continued to tangle with them, even if he didn’t feel much pressure facing one Sky Spring Giant Croc, it would be different if he faced a big group of them. If he was trapped and got surrounded in a collective attack, he would be in danger.

As for attacking the Sky Spring Giant Croc at the outermost side, it made it difficult for the other Sky Spring Giant Crocs to round up and attack Lu Yu immediately, allowing him to stall for time.

Arriving in front of the Sky Spring Giant Croc at the side, Lu Yu activated the Furnace Skill. His strength transformed into health vitality, which doubled.

At the same time, he activated the A-class skill, Red Lotus Battle Energy. Terrifying fire elementals attached themselves to the Blood Emperor Battle Saber’s blade, bringing about a terrifying increase in strength.

Finally, he activated the A-class skill, 8-directional Cleave. With a mighty saber slash, he swung at the Sky Spring Giant Croc with all his might.
