Chapter 57: This guy is lazy and didn't leave anything behind.

"I dare not accept such praise. When it comes to cunning, Brother Ding is the expert. My level of skill is not even worthy of carrying your shoes," Wang, the leader, said as he retreated and waved his blue giant claw to block Lu Bei's pursuit.

Lu Bei, holding a knife, charged forward. When he reached the corner, he saw a mechanism stone wall falling down. Wang, the leader, bent over and waved his hand to bid him farewell. His phoenix eyes narrowed into slits, and his smile was incredibly eerie.

Let's change the scene, for example, replacing the night pearls on both sides with pink light bulbs. This is the rhythm of inviting you into the trap to discuss business.

Boom!!

A white blade aura crashed down, shaking the passage violently.

Lu Bei quickly arrived at the stone wall and searched around but couldn't find any mechanism. He cursed his bad luck. At this moment, the stone passage was on the verge of collapse and could collapse at any moment. He had no choice but to run quickly towards another passage.

This was the "clear path" mentioned by Wang, the leader. Just by listening, it was obvious that it was a lie. If he had a choice, Lu Bei would rather wait for She Xuan's rescue than take this path.

Boom rumble rumble--

The stone passage behind him collapsed rapidly. Lu Bei ran at full speed. When he rushed out of the range of dust and smoke, what awaited him was a maze-like pyramid tunnel.

Three paths, three directions.

The classic "choose one out of three." Lu Bei didn't have She Xuan's keen sense of smell or Wang, the leader's mysterious exploration methods. Based on his experience of navigating through countless trials and tribulations, he chose the middle path as his route.

Half a minute later, he retreated.

Alchemy Room, empty shelves, and even the bronze cauldron that could hold a person had been abandoned for many years.

"This guy is lazy and didn't leave anything behind," Lu Bei added as a side note. He randomly chose one of the remaining two passages and cautiously walked in.

Ten seconds later, he retreated again.

"Damn, why did they build so many Alchemy Rooms in the house? Are they perverts?"

He grumbled as he walked towards the last passage. This time, he didn't retreat. Wang, the leader, was right. It was a straight path without any traps.

At the corner, there was a strange sound and a suppressed groan, along with a few comforting words.

Lu Bei's expression darkened as he looked towards the source of the sound. There were three men and one woman, disciples of the Clear Water Gate, all dirty and injured, bandaging their wounds.

"Who's there? Come out stealthily. Hurry up!" The slightly older disciple shouted with a broken sword in his hand. The others endured the pain from their wounds and drew their weapons, forming a joint attack formation.

Lu Bei walked out with his knife. The four disciples of the Clear Water Gate first breathed a sigh of relief, then became cautious. "Who are you? Did you encounter an ambush like us?"

"Senior brother, I recognize him. When the bloodline mechanism was activated, that guy with the surname Wang was the most cunning," one of them said.

"I remember too. This face... is unforgettable."

"He and the one with the surname Wang are not on the same side, so he must be one of us!"

"It's strange. I remember he also had a Miss with the bloodline of a Monster Cultivator. Why didn't we see her?"

"No need to think about it. She must have been ambushed by the one with the surname Wang..."

Upon hearing the discussion of the junior disciples, the senior disciple showed a pleased expression, put away his broken sword, and clasped his hands. "I apologize for our previous rudeness. We were indeed ambushed by villains. We are like startled birds."

"No problem." Lu Bei glanced at the four injured disciples, put away his tightly held Dark Gold Straight Knife, and returned the gesture. "From what I've heard, you were ambushed by that guy with the surname Wang. Is that true?"

"Naturally, it's true," the senior disciple said with a bitter smile. "We followed the sect leader into the ruins and encountered traps along the way. We suffered heavy casualties but managed to break through. Then we were ambushed by that guy with the surname Wang. The four of us retreated while walking, losing contact with the sect leader."

"Ah, I, Ding, also encountered an ambush like you all. Walking and stopping, when I turned back, I couldn't find the Miss anymore."

Lu Bei shook his head with a sigh and made a friendly proposal to the four of them. "The tunnels are full of dangers. You want to find the sect leader, and I want to find the Miss. How about we travel together? What do you think?"

"That's fine, but..." The four looked at each other, and the senior disciple showed a troubled expression.

"But it's not a problem," Lu Bei said.

"We four have weak strength. After several battles and using up our healing pills, if Brother Ding has any to spare, please assist us. We would be extremely grateful," the senior disciple said with embarrassment.

"What's the big deal? So it's healing pills. If the four of you are injured and can't move, we're all in the same boat. I'll help as much as I can." Lu Bei didn't hesitate and took out three bottles of pills to hand over.

Blood Replenishing Pill, Qi Accumulation Pill, Hemostasis Pill, essential basic elixirs for home and travel. When he left Great Victory Pass, he took quite a few from the Alchemy Room, and the supply was abundant.

"Thank you, Senior Ding."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

The four of them took the elixirs and sat quietly for a moment. Although their injuries hadn't healed completely, their complexion improved significantly. After getting up, they repeatedly thanked Lu Bei.

Unable to repay such great kindness, the senior brother took the lead in exploring the road, with the two junior brothers guarding the rear, leaving the safest position in the middle for Lu Bei and his own junior sister.

She was a pretty little junior sister, although not as good as Bai Jin or She Xuan, but she had unbeatable youthfulness. Her face was slightly pale due to blood loss, and her weak appearance made people feel sorry for her.

Lu Bei estimated that this junior sister was probably already thirty years old.

"Junior sister, you have just recovered from a serious injury, and your body is delicate and not easily angered. If there is any danger later, come to me, Senior Ding, and I will protect your safety."

Lu Bei patted his chest and asked, "Speaking of which, I don't even know the junior sister's name yet?"

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

The junior sister blushed as Lu Bei looked at her, and she lowered her head, saying, "I am from the same family as Senior Brother, and my surname is also Ding."

"What a coincidence, we are truly destined."

While Lu Bei was teasing the junior sister, the senior brother who was leading suddenly raised his hand to stop and his body tensed. The broken sword in his hand made a continuous light sound.

"Be careful, I have a bad feeling. There may be an ambush ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two Clear Water Gate disciples guarding the rear stepped forward slowly, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Junior sister Ding's face turned pale, and she instinctively held onto Lu Bei's arm. Her soft touch reached his heart, causing Lu Bei to instinctively raise his head and chest, his heroic spirit surging.

"Junior sister, don't panic. If there is any danger, I, Ding, will..."

Before he could finish his sentence, two white lights suddenly stabbed towards his back.

In front of him, the senior brother turned around ferociously, switching his broken sword to a broadsword. The sword aura, full of killing intent, turned into a radiance and headed straight for Lu Bei's face.

At the same time, the timid expression on junior sister Ding's face turned cold. With one hand restraining Lu Bei's arm, she held a poisoned dagger and stabbed towards his chest and armpit.

Three simultaneous attacks, the changes happened in an instant.

Boom!

A sudden burst of white light, a substantial white broadsword burst out with astonishing momentum. Wherever the sharp blade passed, the extremely sharp sword light cut through the air, creating ripples.

The four figures flew backwards and couldn't move after landing.

The white light dissipated, and Lu Bei stood in the center, holding a sword. He swung his arm to shake off the severed limbs on his arm and walked forward confidently.

The senior brother fell to the ground with serious injuries, not dead yet. Seeing Lu Bei approaching with a sword, he spat out blood and struggled to get up.

"Why...?"

Swish!

A white light swept across, and the head flew high.

Lu Bei didn't even look back, he sneered and said, "Ding has been slacking off at work for many years. I've seen all kinds of people, even intersex people. Just based on your acting skills, you think you can fool me!"

[You have killed Lin Miao and gained 30,000 experience points.]

[You have killed Li Xuan and gained 30,000 experience points.]

[You have killed Yang Zhi and gained 30,000 experience points.]

[You have killed Ma Hongfei and gained 30,000 experience points.]

"Well done, Junior Sister Ding. If it weren't for Ding's vigilance, I would have mistaken you for a family member."

Lu Bei peeled off a blood-stained Clear Water Gate robe and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Clear Water Gate... hmph, a local gang!"

...

In another stone passage of the pyramid ruins, screams continued one after another.

A blue giant claw grabbed a Clear Water Gate disciple and pressed him against the stone wall. With the sound of bones shattering, the disciple's body sank and became motionless.

Commander Wang shook his head and stopped, stepping over the corpses on the ground. He casually picked up a Clear Water Gate robe, saying, "Commander Wang has traveled the rivers and lakes for many years. I've seen all kinds of scenes. Just based on your tricks, you think you can fool me!"
