Chapter 380: A little carelessness can cost you your life

The Star Forest is a place full of dangers, and countless people die here every day.

Therefore, compared to soul beasts, those humans with malicious intentions are actually more dangerous.

"This place is really deserted."

Lu Yu thought secretly in his heart, and his steps became lighter.

He continued to look for a suitable target while carefully observing his surroundings.

Just then, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps.

"somebody is coming!"

Lu Yu was shocked and immediately pressed his body tightly against the tree trunk, not daring to move.

Through the gaps between the leaves, he saw a man in black walking towards him.

The man exuded a strong murderous aura, which made Lu Yu feel a little nervous.

"It seems that this person's strength is not simple."

Lu Yu thought silently in his heart, and his fingers quietly clasped a few talismans.

The man in black was getting closer and closer, his eyes searching everywhere.

Lu Yu knew that he had to be careful in his response, otherwise if he was discovered by this person, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Hmm? There's a breath of air here!"

Suddenly, the man in black stopped and his eyes were fixed on Lu Yu's location.

Lu Yu's heart tightened. Although his invisibility talisman and breath-concealing talisman were powerful, they could not completely hide his aura.

"It seems that we have no choice but to fight hard!"

Lu Yu secretly made up his mind, and his fingers quickly crushed several talismans.

Suddenly, a strong energy wave surged around him, and his figure emerged from the invisible state.

"Humph, there really is someone here!"

When the man in black saw Lu Yu, he immediately showed a ferocious smile.

He stretched out his hand and waved it, and a black energy wave blasted towards Lu Yu.

Lu Yu snorted coldly, and with a flash of his body, he avoided the energy wave.

Then, he attacked without hesitation.

His fingers moved quickly in the air, and talismans flew towards the man in black.

The talismans exploded in the air, forming brilliant rays of energy.

When the man in black saw this, his expression changed slightly.

He didn't expect that Lu Yu's strength was so powerful.

However, he had no intention of backing down.

He waved his hands and summoned several black soul beasts, which pounced towards Lu Yu.

When Lu Yu saw this, his eyes also fixed.

He flashed again and avoided the attacks of those soul beasts.

Then, he also summoned his soul beast and started a fierce battle with the opponent.

"Huh, kid, do you think you can defeat me like this? You are so naive!"

The man in black sneered as he attacked.

Lu Yu ignored his ridicule and focused all his attention on the battle.

I have to give it my all to defeat this powerful enemy.

The battle between the two sides became more and more intense, and the surrounding trees were blown to pieces by the energy waves.

However, Lu Yu became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and his attacks became more and more fierce.

During the fierce confrontation, Lu Yu found the weakness of the man in black.

He took advantage of the opportunity and sent a powerful energy wave towards the man in black.

"what!"

The man in black screamed and his body was blown away by the energy wave.

Seeing this, Lu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

I have become this powerful enemy.

"Phew...it was really dangerous."

Lu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked at the man in black lying on the ground and said.

The man in black was unconscious at this time, and his body was covered with scars.

Lu Yu knew that he could no longer threaten him for the time being, so he planned to leave this place.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps.

"Oh no, someone else is coming!"

Lu Yu was shocked and immediately turned around and ran in another direction.

I must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise once I am discovered by those people, I will be in an even more dangerous situation.

He ran all the way and soon came to a remote place.

He looked around and found that no one was chasing him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh... I finally escaped."

Lu Yu leaned against a tree, breathing heavily.

I was able to escape this time entirely due to luck and strength.

If he encounters such danger again next time, he must be more careful.

"Huh? What is that?"

At this moment, Lu Yu suddenly saw a faint light flashing not far ahead.

He walked over curiously and found that it was a seal.

"Why is there a seal here?"

Lu Yu thought secretly in his heart, and his fingers gently touched the seal.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a powerful force surging out from the seal.

"what!"

Lu Yu screamed and his body was flung away by the force.

He fell heavily to the ground and felt a sharp pain all over his body.

He struggled to get up and looked at the seal in front of him with horror in his eyes.

"This...what the hell is this?"

Lu Yu thought secretly in his heart, his fingers were trembling slightly.

I'm in real trouble this time.

At this moment, the seal suddenly cracked.

Then, a woman in white walked out from the seal.

The woman exuded a holy aura, which made Lu Yu feel relaxed and happy.

"You...who are you?"

Lu Yu looked at the woman and asked with a trembling voice.

The woman looked at Lu Yu and smiled slightly.

"I am the guardian of this forest, my name is Xuewu."

She said.

"protector?"

Lu Yu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this woman would be the guardian of this forest.

"Yes, I protect the peace and tranquility of this forest."

Xuewu said, "However, I sensed an evil force approaching here, so I came out of the seal."

"An evil force?"

Lu Yu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be evil forces here.

"Yes, that force is very strong. If it is allowed to enter this forest, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xuewu said, "So, I hope you can help me fight against that power."

"I?"

Lu Yu pointed at himself and said with some disbelief.

"Yes and you."

Xuewu said, "I sense that you have a force of justice, so I believe you can help me."

When Lu Yu heard this, he was also excited.

He never thought that he would have the opportunity to become a hero protecting this forest.

"Okay! I'm willing to help you!"

Lu Yu said loudly.

Xuewu smiled with relief when she heard this.

"Very good, then let's go together."

She said.

So, Lu Yu and Xue Wu embarked on a journey to fight against evil together.

As we moved forward, we encountered many powerful enemies.

However, relying on his strength, he successfully defeated those enemies.

, and came to a dark cave.

"The evil power is hiding in this cave."

Xuewu said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu also clenched his fists tightly.

I have to fight to the death with that evil force.

"Let's go in."

Xuewu said.

So, they walked into the cave together.

The cave was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

However, Lu Yu and Xue Wu relied on their own perception to move forward.

We came to a huge cave.

Deep in the cave, a black figure was sitting quietly.

"it's him!"

Xuewu pointed at the black figure and spoke loudly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu also stared at the black figure closely.

I have to fight this evil guy to the death.

"Humph, I didn't expect you to be able to find this place."

The black figure suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse and harsh.

"Are you the evil force?"

Soon, a burst of hurried and slightly messy footsteps suddenly came from the woods in the distance.

The sound was like someone running in a hurry, with no regularity in their steps.

Immediately afterwards, a petite figure suddenly jumped out from the bushes and headed straight for the area where Lu Yu was.

The figure looked very small, with short dark purple hair fluttering gently in the breeze and a hint of childishness on her face. She was obviously a young girl, perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old.

Although she is not very old, the girl's figure has already developed into shape, with curvy curves that make people want to take a second look.

Especially those emerald green eyes, which contained some kind of mysterious power and revealed a vague sense of weirdness, giving people a faint sense of charm and making people curious.

The most eye-catching thing is her slender waist.

With every movement she made, her waist twisted gently as if it were soft and boneless, and her flexibility was simply amazing.

With a figure like this, she looks like a natural dancer, making it impossible to look away.

At this time, the girl's cheeks and arms exposed outside her short-sleeved outfit were covered with a thin layer of emerald green scales.

These scales shimmered in the sunlight, adding a touch of mystery to her.

There were two yellow spirit rings surrounding her body, and it was obvious that she was already a two-ring great spirit master.

"A second-ring great soul master? And judging by her speed and soul power fluctuations, her soul power cultivation has probably reached level 30, right?"

Lu Yu was hiding not far away, his eyes narrowed slightly, secretly surprised.

To be able to reach level 30 at this age is simply a genius among geniuses.

You know, Lu Yu himself only reached the 20th level of cultivation when he was eight years old.

But that was because he had the cultivation insights and inheritance from his previous life, which enabled him to improve his strength so quickly.

Therefore, he does not measure the talents of others by his own circumstances.

Just as Lu Yu was looking at the girl, a green shadow suddenly jumped out of the jungle.

The shadow was as fast as lightning and rushed towards the girl in almost the blink of an eye.

"hiss……"

It was not until the shadow appeared in front of the girl that everyone could see that it was actually a small snake only five inches long.

This little snake is emerald green all over, its body as crystal clear as a gem, and it looks quite small and cute.

There are nine bamboo-like horizontal lines on the snake's body, and you can vaguely see a green light flowing under the skin, adding a bit of mystery.

However, when everyone saw those little red eyes, they couldn't help but feel a chill.

Those eyes were filled with bloodthirstiness and coldness, and could launch a fatal attack at any time.

Obviously, this little snake was the culprit that chased the girl.

"Ah! Snake!"

When the girl saw the little snake suddenly appear in front of her, she screamed in fright.

She instinctively wanted to step back, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she couldn't move.

The little snake seemed to sense the girl's fear. It opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, ready to attack.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you!"

Seeing this, Lu Yu immediately rushed out from his hiding place.

He flashed and instantly appeared in front of the girl, standing between her and the little snake.

When the girl saw Lu Yu suddenly appear in front of her, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She looked at Lu Yu gratefully, then stepped aside.

Lu Yu stared at the little snake in front of him, slowly raised his hands, and prepared for battle.

"Humph, a tiny green-scaled snake dares to act so arrogant here?"

Lu Yu snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.

The green-scaled snake seemed to understand what Lu Yu said. It roared angrily and then pounced towards Lu Yu.

Lu Yu turned his body to the side and easily avoided the attack of the little snake.

Then, he quickly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the little snake by the vital point.

"Be honest with me!"

Lu Yu pinched it hard, and the little snake rolled over in pain.

But its body was extremely tough, and even in Lu Yu's hands, it continued to struggle.

"Huh, you still want to run?"

Lu Yu snorted coldly, then swung the little snake hard and threw it far away.

The little snake rolled several times in the air and then fell heavily to the ground.

It struggled for a few times but still couldn't get up.

"Great! Thank you for saving me!"

When the girl saw the little snake being subdued by Lu Yu, she immediately cheered.

She ran to Lu Yu and patted his shoulder gratefully.

Lu Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're welcome. I just can't stand this kind of bullying of the weak."

When the girl heard this, a bright smile appeared on her face.

She looked at Lu Yu and said, "My name is Xiao Wu, what about you? What's your name?"

"My name is Lu Yu."

Lu Yu replied with a smile.

"Brother Lu Yu, you are so amazing! You subdued this little snake so easily."

Xiao Wu looked at Lu Yu with admiration in her eyes.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing.

By the way, why did you come here alone? It’s very dangerous here.”

When Xiao Wu heard this, the smile on her face disappeared immediately.

She lowered her head and said somewhat frustratedly: "I am here to hunt for spirit rings.

But...but I didn't expect to encounter such a dangerous thing."

When Lu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He didn't expect that this young girl already had the courage to hunt for spirit rings.

You know, hunting for spirit rings is a very dangerous thing, and you can lose your life if you are not careful.

"You... do you really want to hunt for spirit rings?"

Lu Yu looked at Xiao Wu and asked in disbelief.
