The receding bug flood reduced the crowd to a state of confusion. But the most shocked of all was still the leader of the Pledge…

Earlier, he had been trying to incite everyone to advance when they were mired in hesitation. In any case, how could he find the chance to deal Lu Shu a fatal blow when the situation was not messy enough?

However, Lu Shu’s bloody response was totally unexpected!

Why would he run? It did not make any sense!

We are only here to help get rid of the bugs, so shouldn’t you be grateful? Why did you lead them away? So counterintuitive!

Lu Shu thought in his heart, haha, actually, it was rather intuitive.

Why would he let anybody stop him from becoming stronger? His divine water was experiencing a rapid and healthy growth!

Plus, it was not easy to find such a perfect opportunity! Now, he could groom it well without spending a fortune on the purchase of magical weapons. Why would he let the chance slip through his fingers?

No way!

The Pledge expert said, “He must be worried about our personal safety. But that gives us even more reasons to assist him!”

Puzzled, individual Practitioners looked at one another. “Then what should we do?”

“Catch up and help him kill the bugs!” the expert replied in a firm voice.

Then, he took the lead, followed by the rest. No one expected they would be chasing a wave of bugs in the remains.

The Pledge expert was fast. When he drew near, he shouted at Lu Shu across the sea of bugs, “Don’t run! We are here to help!”

Lu Shu yelled back coldly, “You are ill-intentioned!”

The Pledge expert, “…”

Was his plan exposed? Otherwise, it could not be explained! But the more he thought, the more confused he got. How did the person find out about his hidden agenda? Huh?!

“From Caiden Davies’ distress, +499!”

To everyone’s surprise, Lu Shu suddenly slowed down. Just when the rest was confused whether he had changed his mind, they realized that he was only waiting for the bugs!

This was mental!

As a matter of fact, Lu Shu himself was well aware that it was impossible to claim ownership of the entire wave of bugs. First of all, they could be easily caught by other pros from behind given the bugs’ slow speed. Secondly, his divine water would take too long to consume the whole bug flood.

Furthermore, the visible increase in the size of the water would certainly arouse suspicion in onlookers. Those big organizations were not stupid, and certainly they would not stay put and let him gain powers on his own!

The terrific nature of Earl’s mythical item was well-known. Even a single drop would cause much of a headache to opponents of the same level. But now, in Lu Shu’s hands, the divine water was already large enough to encircle his rivals!

In addition to magical weapons, it could now engulf humans!

Thus, it was a matter of when, not if, the experts would interfere. Currently, Lu Shu could only seize this opportunity and digest as many beetles as he could.
