Evan Walsh rested his head comfortably on Emily’s thighs. He shot a glance over at Meng Jingchan before he closed his eyes.

Meng Jingchan’s masculinity was mostly reflected on her rough skin. Had her skin been smoother and fairer, she might have been a beauty, Evan speculated. Besides, she had a special aura around her, thanks to the years she had spent on keeping her footing in society alone. Even after the regeneration of Spirit Qi, she had chosen a more ambitious path instead of being someone else’s minion.

Evan had noticed that Meng Jingchan seemed close only to the boy called Lu Mu. But he did not give it a second thought as it was completely normal for the only two Chinese people in the team to have a natural sense of familiarity with each other.

But he was wondering, could the girl possibly be interested in seeking some help from himself?

Speaking of which, where was Lu Mu? Locking his brows, Evan looked around but could not see him anywhere.

Could he be in danger?

But soon, Evan decided to ignore the thought and prepared to sleep. Neither did he feel ashamed nor was he concerned about Emily’s true feelings when the girl volunteered to be his pillow.

Even if Lu Mu had gone missing, Evan would not give a damn about his safety.

The temporary campsite was shrouded in silence. With everyone’s ears plugged, communication could only be achieved via typing on the screen.

After a long moment of hesitation, Meng Jingchan finally decided to venture into the darkness in search of Lu Shu!

A tall woman of 175cm in height, Meng Jingchan’s slender legs were long and beautiful. Men would have thrown themselves at her if she had paid more attention to her skincare.

But that was not what she wanted. She believed that things acquired not through her own abilities would not belong to her for eternity.

Her dream was to be the founder of an internationally recognized association, the prospects of which must have been awesome.

Now, her encounter with Lu Shu, whom she thought to be an expert, had offered her a brand new opportunity. Would it not be of great help to her if she could convince Lu Shu and her sister to join her group?

Currently, the presence of a Class C would work like a magnet and attract countless individual Practitioners into the fraternities.

And Meng Jingchan suspected Lu Shu to be a Class C. Perhaps, even Lu Shu himself was not aware that his capabilities were beyond the reach of many unassociated Practitioners.

In order to express her sincerity, Meng Jingchan was determined to look for Lu Shu in such treacherous conditions.

He could not have gone far, since his backpack was still at the campsite.

Clouds were rolling over the sky, trying to smother the scarlet moonlight behind.

The blood-red moon drew Meng Jingchan’s gaze upwards. She had heard that all remains had red moons, but why were they the same, given that each remain was an individually existing world?

With a ball of dim fire on her palm to help with her vision, she followed the direction in which Lu Shu had left. Meng Jingchan was a Class D fire-type Metahuman!

“What happened?” suddenly, a split rock caught her attention. Just as she sent her fire closer for illumination, she was startled by the emptiness inside.

Where did the gargoyle go? Apparently, the slit was too narrow for a gargoyle to exit.

On their way here earlier, all gargoyles in the rocks had been killed. Although Meng Jingchan had no idea how Lu Shu managed to do that, she knew for sure there were crumbles in the slit after the death of gargoyles. But now, there was nothing.

Was Lu Shu behind this? What capabilities on earth did he have?!

As she continued walking, she suddenly heard Lu Shu’s voice ahead, “Hello? Anybody home?”

Meng Jingchan was speechless.

So was the gargoyle.

At that instant, it sounded as if they were back on Earth…

In the next second, she heard Lu Shu knocking on the stone.

Then, a series of cracking sounds came from the distance. Meng Jingchan was familiar with the ominous noise, a stone had snapped open!

Meng Jingchan was dumbstruck. Lu Shu was actually looking for gargoyles?! He must know of better things to do if he had a sound mind!

Meng Jingchan had a first hand experience of how tough it was to confront the gargoyles even during the day. At that time, her fire-type attacking techniques could barely scratch the monsters’ skin. She had to concentrate the flames into explosives so as to exert a certain degree of harm.

Honestly speaking, Meng Jingchan was scared of gargoyles too and so was Evan. After all, he only dared to clear them one by one. Furthermore, no one was willing to advance if they were not in a large group.

But for Lu Shu, not only did he take the initiative of finding gargoyles himself, he was unbelievably casual.

Indeed, it was as though he was paying a visit to his neighbors!

Having distinguished her flame, Meng Jingchan sneaked towards the source of the sound. From behind a rock, she saw Lu Shu pour a pool of golden liquid into the rock, but the gargoyle inside was unable to even release a scream.

Could it be the empty stone just now had actually been occupied as well, but its owner was later evaporated by that golden liquid? What on earth was that?!

However, one thing was sure, Lu Shu was a water-type expert, and he had in his possession legendary items that only true pros deserved!

If he could join her team, it would certainly be smooth sailing for her. Let alone the promising prospects after his ascension to Class B…

Of course, she knew it would be too difficult to persuade an expert like him.

Would she become another Emily? No, that would be too shameful.

In the meantime, Lu Shu had once again completed the corrosion of the gargoyle, left with a wisp of smoke being slowly digested by the divine water.

No matter how sneaky Meng Jingchan was, her distress points would always give her away.

To locate her, Lu Shu sent a drop of water into the air, that permeated into the atmosphere as water vapor, which then provided him with an all-rounded view of the surroundings.

Following the same vein, Lu Xiaoyu was able to detect the environment using dust particles in the air.

But he did not take any action. On one hand, he felt that an explanation would be unnecessary. On the other, he did not intend to get too caught up with the girl.

So what if she saw it? The divine water was only a masquerade for his real secret.
