Chapter 1166: Skeleton
Chapter 1166: Skeleton
When Lu Shu saw a herd of antelopes, he was excited. He did not dare to approach the cows that ate lightning, but there was nothing to fear with these cute antelopes jumping about. He caught all of them and stored them in the Seal of Lands.
During the battle on the Tiger’s Back, Lu Shu had tested out the environment in the Seal of Lands. When he stored resources and people in the Seal of Lands, almost everyone had suffocated and died. Only three people had survived as they had oxygen cylinders.
Lu Shu realized that if he stored a large amount of air from the Earth in the Seal of Lands, animals could also survive in the Seal of Lands.
The Seal of Lands was much bigger than any invisible storage equipment Lu Shu had seen. For example, Lu Xiaoyu’s invisible storage equipment only had the space of a small building. But Lu Shu’s Seal of Lands had never been full.
Suddenly, Lu Shu thought about it. If he could fill the Seal of Lands with conditions that would allow organisms to live, would he be able to create a new world?
But he quickly understood. It was easy to allow organisms to survive inside, but creating a complete food chain would be very difficult.
There were too many elements of life that could not be fulfilled in the Seal of Lands.
Wait. Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He had entered the celestial map before. Back then, he felt that the celestial map was vast and boundless. Could he create a new world from the celestial map?
When Lu Shu thought about this, he was excited. It was not impossible!
In reality, Lu Shu had never seen the celestial map as a space. He felt that it was a system of techniques. But when he thought about, even the head of the Sword Hut could enter the celestial map. What else was impossible?
Lu Shu looked around, but did not display his excitement. But Israel and the rest suddenly felt the wind blowing. It was very weak, but mysterious.
Lu Shu was shocked. The celestial map was a space. Had he been able to explore a new space all along?!
But it was not the time to think about this. Lu Shu led the group of people away from the source of water. No one objected, as Lu Shu had scared them with the possibility that other creatures might come to drink water.
The group of ordinary people could not handle the creatures in the remains.
But they did not realize that when they left the water source, some creatures who had been hiding ran out. When they confirmed that Lu Shu had left, they finally came to the source of water. They harmoniously lowered their heads and drank.
They did not disturb one another when they drank water. Even the predators did not try to attack other creatures.
This scene was very interesting. It was as if they had lived here for a long time and established some form of chemistry.
They were very thirsty, but did not dare to go over when Lu Shu was sitting there.
They had all seen how Lu Shu had chased and caught the antelopes... the entire herd was gone in a flash. It was far too frightening...
Once they were done drinking, the creatures looked at one another and left. They did not head in the direction where Lu Shu had headed. It was as if they were avoiding Lu Shu. Their gaze seemed to carry a message. “There is a new demon king. Be careful...”
The remains were very strange. Lu Shu did not know where these creatures had come from. He had not revealed the truth behind the remains either.
To Israel and the rest, no matter whether it was the scorpions or the cows, they were all beasts. It was very dangerous.
But to these creatures, Lu Shu was the true beast...
Of course, Lu Shu did not completely relax. He knew that there were definitely frightening creatures like the tortoise in the remains. Furthermore, 80% of these creatures would not be as docile as the tortoise.
At night, they hid in a cavern that was not very deep. It was more like a cave dwelling than a cave.
Lu Shu lifted up a torch. He looked inside the cavern. The boundless wilderness was engulfed in darkness.
This was their second night together. Lu Shu curiously asked the rest, “What other dangers have you encountered in the remains?”
They had slept on the tortoise on the first night. Dangers might not have dared to approach them, but it was different tonight.
When one of the girls heard Lu Shu, she looked shocked. “We did not encounter any danger on the first night, but we heard a rustling sound in the distance. It sounded like densely packed shells hitting against one another. I think that some kind of insect is marching!”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. It would be troublesome if insects appeared at night. If insects appeared in large groups in the wilderness, they were probably army ants. There were many ordinary people in the remains. If the girl had heard army ants, many ordinary people would have been dead.
Lu Shu thought about it and extinguished the bonfire. They had to be more cautious at night.
A weak ray of light shone into the cavern. Lu Shu sat by the entrance, thinking about someone. Suddenly, the female Practitioner came over and said, “I have an outdoor tent set in my bag. I’ve set it up for you. Go to sleep.”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He smiled. “There’s no need. You should go to sleep.”
The female Practitioner was somewhat disappointed. She nodded and went back into the cavern. Israel laughed softly. “She is rather pretty. Aren’t you moved? She took the initiative... do a lot of female Practitioners approach you in the remains?”
Lu Shu thought about it. “Quite a lot of them do. Not only do female Practitioners approach me, ordinary females as well...”
Israel’s expression changed. According to what she knew, this was the only time so many ordinary people had appeared in the remains. Was he talking about her?
“From Israel Moore’s distress, +748!”
“You’re just a Rank Five Practitioner. Why are you so arrogant?” Then, Israel went into the cavern to sleep. But she looked at Lu Shu, who was guarding the entrance of the cavern, and could not sleep.
At that moment, someone in the cavern screamed. The sound of a female screaming at night was exceptionally clear. Lu Shu furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I... I think there’s a skeleton here,” said one of the females.
Lu Shu went in and took a look. As expected, there was a pile of bones in the cavern. It seemed like the bones had been buried here for a very long time.
But Lu Shu was shocked. Seeing bones in the remains was nothing new, but this was his first time seeing a human skeleton!
It was evidently a human!
Lu Shu brushed away the soil on the bones. When he saw the skull, he confirmed that the skeleton belonged to a person who had died in the remains.
The creatures he had encountered that were most like humans were the soldiers of the sea, but they were not as shocking as seeing a human skeleton... the creatures in the remains were complex and diverse. It was like a complete, ancient world. Had humans lived here as well?!
What kind of humans had lived in the remains?!
