Chapter 211 Lu Yu, the BOSS Template! The Moon of Procreation! The Cult of SeSe! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The Starpiercer plunged headlong into the Dark Starfield, like a swarm of fireflies stumbling upon a dark, lightless night.
Countless starlight floated up, shining brightly and dispelling the darkness.
At this moment, the train seemed to be traveling through a galaxy!
Traverse the stars, reverse the course of human life!
On both sides of the track are meadows shrouded in starlight, or trees laden with star-colored fruit. As the breeze blows, the leaves rustle and whisper.
Let the music of stars begin!
"Li li!"
In the sky, starlight birds flew by. Their overall structure was not much different from that of ordinary birds, but their bodies seemed to be made of starlight, and one could vaguely see the skeleton formed by small stars.
When they appear in groups, they look like constellations moving when viewed from the ground!
On the ground, the starlight earthworms that had been poking their heads out to breathe and devour the starlight immediately burrowed back into the soil after sensing the tremor, leaving behind only holes!
"Gurgle gurgle..."
Many Star-Eared Rabbits, with ears like stars, curiously raised their heads, chewing on the Star Grass unique to the Starlight Ecosystem, and looked in the direction of the train.
Unbeknownst to them, several of their companions near the starlight bushes were being silently dragged away by the all-black Star Shadow Leopard!
The star-studded deer ran wildly, seemingly trying to outrun the train, leaping across the open field!
These images, when viewed by the passengers on the bus, immediately elicited gasps of surprise!
Even those who have seen it many times are still awestruck by the sight before them, fulfilling all of humanity's fantasies about the starry sky.
"This is so beautiful!"
"These rabbits are so stupid, they didn't even notice their companion being dragged away. But this Star Shadow Leopard is fast, and it knows not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. It's a pity it was in the car, otherwise I really wanted to get out and tame it!"
"I'm so envious of the residents of the Dark Star Domain! During the day, it's no different from other domains, but the scenery at night is absolutely stunning!"
"I have a relative who is a member of the army stationed in the Dark Star Region. He said it used to be even more magnificent and dazzling than it is now, but the powerful and threatening astral monsters in the surrounding ecosystem have all been eliminated."
But this also indirectly attracted smaller creatures to breed and multiply in the vicinity. These ordinary creatures probably mistook the train for the path of a terrifying monster, relying on its patterns to reproduce and thrive. Nature is truly amazing!
"That's great! I've heard that living in the Dark Star Region for a long time is good for your health!"
"Stop explaining. You just wanted to buy a few packets of Starlight Goji Berries while waiting for the parking lot. That stuff is a bestseller throughout the entire league. After eating it, you can drive aggressively without any problems. I didn't expect someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you to be so weak!"
"How dare you slander someone's innocence like that..."
"..."
The passengers were talking about it, and many took out their phones to take pictures as a memento.
Lu Yu also took out his phone to take pictures, and Little Spider nervously followed his instructions, striking various poses.
Although my photography skills are average, the little spider is so good-looking that it looks absolutely stunning from any angle!
The hamster also wanted to have its picture taken, but unfortunately, no matter how I photographed it, it just looked like a round, chubby little hamster, which made me tremble!
But it enjoys it!
As for the testicles... ever since they transformed into dragon form, they look quite imposing from any angle!
However, amidst this lively and cheerful atmosphere, one carriage remained unusually quiet.
Inside were a dozen or so men dressed in dark green robes who had quietly boarded the vehicle when Lu Yu caused a sensation. Although their attire was strange, they did not attract much attention.
After all, there are many crazy people among beast tamers. Wearing strange clothes is just a very common hobby. As long as you buy a ticket and pass the monster detection test, no one will bother you.
One of the younger guys, already in a bad mood, couldn't help but complain about the noise:
"These people are really boring and have never seen anything like it. It was the same when we were checking tickets earlier; they were fawning over some kid named Lu Yu, blocking the way and almost giving us away!"
"Little guy? Ha, would you dare say that to his face?"
The tall, middle-aged man next to him suddenly said something that made the young man's expression freeze.
He continued speaking:
"He is a monster on the border who has a chance to compete for the title of the tenth prodigy. According to the latest intelligence analysis, his combat power is enough to sweep away anyone below Morning Star."
This time, he should be going to take the college entrance examination for Imperial University. If he gets in with top scores and has enough resources to support him, he can steadily step into the peak of Morning Star, and his chances of getting into Radiant Moon are also very high.
There's even a slight chance he'll become a giant, a big shot in the alliance. Humans are martial, so isn't it normal for them to admire such a genius?
Is your only source of pride your age?
This is not an honor, but a disgrace. If the younger generation of the clan all share your thoughts, then our clan's desire to rise again is practically a pipe dream!
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads in shame, because they had all seen information about Lu Yu during today's commotion.
The other party came from a much worse background than them. They were at least from humble backgrounds, but this guy was just a simple grassroots person. Yet, in just six months, he achieved what they could not achieve in decades!
As long as he grows step by step, he will inevitably become a big figure on the border. If he becomes a giant, even his clan at its peak will have to give way.
Not to mention it's already weakened!
The young man was thoroughly scolded, but dared not argue back, only managing a forced smile:
"What I mean is, you are currently a powerful early-stage Morning Star cultivator, only one step away from the mid-stage. As a senior, you should at least be able to look down on him for now!"
"That's only true now. Once this kind of genius advances to the Morning Star level, he can easily crush me!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand, but did not deny his compliment. After all, in his eyes, Lu Yu was just a potential genius who was not worth worrying about before he advanced to the Morning Star level.
The reason for saying so much was mainly to warn these younger generations against arrogance and impetuosity, so he solemnly admonished them:
"We have an important mission this time, and we must bring this back."
Those guys would never have imagined that instead of traveling day and night, we chose to take the "Starpiercer" back. Although it was a bit slower, it was safer. If all else failed, we could also divert attention and buy ourselves precious time.
So, whatever you do during this process, don't cause any trouble. If we're exposed, we'll all be doomed!
"clear!"
Everyone nodded and looked in unison at a short figure carrying a mysterious box who was being protected by them.
Their hope for the rise of their clan lies within this!
The unique starlight environment is indeed exciting, but it can get a bit tiresome after a while, and since it's already late at night, the lights in the aisle of the train carriage have become softer.
Passengers in first and second class also put on eye masks, leaned back in their specially designed seats, and began to fall into a deep sleep!
"It's time to enter Nightmare Hell!"
Lu Yu turned off the TV, turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up. As he washed his face, a cool breeze blew through the enclosed space, making him feel a chill of night.
"Huh? Where's the towel?"
Lu Yu closed his eyes and groped around for a while, but couldn't find it in the original spot. Suddenly, someone handed it to him, and he finally found it.
Thanks!
He took it casually, wiped his face, opened his eyes, and saw a large number of sharp limbs facing him, gleaming coldly, reflecting his fragmented image.
Suddenly, a slender, arthropod-like creature appeared in the cramped bathroom. Its whip-like tentacles covered the ceiling, and its menacing head drooped down, only a few centimeters away from Lu Yu.
It opened its blood-red maw, from which several tiny, tentacle-like tongues emerged, writhing like insects.
Whoohoo!
Behind it, the small glass window had been opened, and the biting cold wind rushed in, but the defensive and monster-repelling rituals set up around the train did not react at all.
The pair of scarlet insect-like compound eyes were staring intently at Lu Yu, flashing with greedy emotions, and the stench of rotting corpses could be smelled with every breath.
boom!
At the same time, the oppressive aura of the early-stage Morning Star Realm enveloped Lu Yu, locking him firmly in place. If he tried to shout for help, his throat would be slit instantly!
This is its hobby; it enjoys watching its prey struggle in fear. Just thinking about this scene makes it unable to resist opening its insect organs and emitting a piercing insect chirp!
Anyone would get goosebumps seeing such a horrifying scene!
However, Lu Yu remained calm, extended his hand, and then...
With a "smack," I slapped it across the face with my backhand.
With the constant nourishment from two monarch cubs and one giant cub, as well as the blessings from the Mother River and spiritual energy far exceeding that of others of the same level, Lu Yu's physique has long been strengthened to five or even ten times that of others of the same level. It wouldn't be a problem for him to call himself a super newbie!
One slap, while not enough to split a mountain, would certainly shatter rocks!
"Buzz!"
The violent tremor momentarily stunned the centipede monster, its compound eyes filled with bewilderment!
"Quiet down, don't disturb everyone's rest!"
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he casually hung the towel on the pair of venomous fangs that had evolved from walking legs and were still shimmering with an eerie green glow, and said indifferently, "Hold on tight, and don't drop it on the ground, or you'll be in big trouble!"
The centipede-like monster lowered its head, never expecting to be treated this way.
Even if you're not scared, at least shout out!
Why would you use it as a towel rack?
However, seeing Lu Yu turn and leave, the centipede monster came to its senses, feeling humiliated. Its compound eyes were filled with killing intent, and it swung its razor-sharp insect legs, preparing to shred Lu Yu into a pile of minced meat.
Click!
The moment the towel was torn, the space in front of it began to fold, and the narrow bathroom suddenly turned into a small open space!
This is... spatial folding!
The sudden change startled the centipede monster, which thought it had fallen into a trap. It moved its tentacles, preparing to quickly grab Lu Yu. However, before it could take a step, it saw a scene it would never forget!
Behind Lu Yu, a half-human, half-spider gothic Lolita girl in a dress tore through space and appeared beside him, overlooking everything!
"Buzz!"
The powerful aura spread, alerting it to the danger. It decisively wriggled its numerous insect limbs, attempting to fall out of the window and attack from the outside!
However, the little spider remained calm upon seeing this, and made a hand seal with one hand:
"Eek!"
The Void Seal arrived in an instant, and the space around the centipede demon suddenly froze, making it impossible for it to escape no matter how hard it struggled.
The next moment, an invisible mountain pressed down.
Click!
A terrifying force crashed down, shattering its tentacles and carapace together, splattering out dark green blood, which remained suspended in mid-air!
"Wow!"
It emitted a painful chirping sound. Under the threat of death, its psionic energy surged, and its remaining tentacles spread wildly, transforming into a long spear that swept away!
Wherever it passed, the chirping of insects echoed, and the moonlight swept through, shattering everything!
Moonbugs Cry!
Although the bathroom space was folded up to be several times larger, it was still cramped, therefore...
The hit rate is almost 100%!
boom!
However, a black and gold dragon claw descended, easily shattering its desperate attack as if swatting a fly.
Click!
The shattered lunar energy swept across, yet it couldn't even leave a mark on the scales!
"Buzz!"
The centipede monster was incredulous. Looking up, it saw a black and gold dragon beast appear, flapping its wings and floating in the air. The cloud patterns on its body suddenly unfolded and turned into hundreds of wriggling eyes.
Looking down at it from above!
The mere sight of him carried the scent of death!
"How dare you disturb the hamsters and Xiuren's sleep so late at night!"
A disgruntled voice rang out, and a large number of Thousand-Faced Soul Tree roots spread and intertwined, turning into clouds. A giant rat appeared after expanding, with a flame wheel spinning behind its head, sitting on it, with a reflection of the underworld beneath its feet!
The soul magnetic field shifted, suppressing the centipede demon's thought processes!
The three figures stood like three pillars of heaven, suppressing this folded space!
At this moment, the centipede monster was utterly desperate!
Wasn't it agreed that there weren't many strong individuals here?
Although I've never played the game, I've experienced firsthand what it feels like for a newbie hero to accidentally wander into the ultimate demon king's castle!
Before it could even suspect the existence of insects, the rat used the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree to extract its soul, turning it into part of the tree's fertilizer.
As for the corpse, it was released by Egg... and put into Egg's stomach!
The Rat Egg Duo is truly the environmental guardian of the beast-taming world!
After examining the memory fragments read by the mouse, Lu Yu's expression became somewhat strange:
"They were just a pack of hyenas chasing their prey! I never thought I'd end up as freebies!"
This monster was able to bypass the Starpiercer's defensive orbits silently, so it's definitely not wild!
Instead, it is related to a cult called the "Breeding Moon," an evil organization that worships wildness and lunar reproduction.
Although it looks similar to the Primordial Moon, the two are completely different concepts!
In the realm of mysticism, the ancient moon holds a position of equal importance to the sun, containing the fundamental laws governing the cycle of the world and representing one of the earliest forms of primal worship for all life.
The image of the moon is different in the past and present!
If I had to describe it, it would be a journey from chaos to order!
Throughout human history, hundreds of evil god cults related to the moon have emerged, but only three have survived to this day and become influential!
The first and most famous is the [Primal Moon] cult, which is mainly composed of different races, with a few humans also active in it. What they desire is to return the moon to its primitive and ignorant form through large-scale sacrifices.
At that time, all alien races or demons illuminated by the moonlight will gain power, opening the legendary [Primitive Arena]. Power can be obtained through slaughter, and the ultimate victor will transform into a primordial beast, gaining unimaginable power!
The second is the [Moon Lord Society], the biggest traitor in the Corruption Feast Secret Realm. They worship an ancient being called the Moon Lord, and are also known as the dark side of the moon.
They yearn for the Moon Lord to descend and rewrite the world, waiting for even the most insignificant creatures to ascend to heaven!
As for the final [Breeding Month]...
The art style is a bit different!
What they crave is Serenity, cough cough cough, it may sound a bit strange, but it's true!
They believed that reproduction mostly occurred at night, and therefore felt that the moon represented the authority of reproduction. They believed that life conceived under the moonlight would be stronger and have the hope of receiving the moon's blessings.
Therefore, they would choose this time to hold certain indescribable rituals, thereby giving birth to a powerful moon beast!
They even steal the genes of other life forms and transform them into special moon beasts. In short, it's the beast king system of the evil god cultists, breeding a large number of moon beasts for them to drive!
The best way to provoke them is to say something like, "I love polishing my weapons in the morning!"
The hatred level instantly reached its maximum!
In order to perform rituals, they often abducted ordinary people to use as firewood or as a womb, and then discarded them after use.
There was a heinous incident in which several towns and hundreds of thousands of people were looted, which successfully gave birth to a powerful moon beast!
This reckless behavior naturally drew a thunderous blow from the Alliance, far more severe than the blow dealt to the Primal Moon!
But the reason they have survived to this day is not because they are strong, but because they often operate at night and use moonlight to sense hostility and enemy units.
Thus, they escaped several alliance-led sieges!
They are an extremely cunning group of opponents!
The reason for taking the initiative to attack the Starpiercer this time was not to plunder the mother ship, since the cost-effectiveness would be too low.
It was because a group of people on the vehicle had snatched a precious treasure from their hands.
One of them involves a great treasure in the Dark Star Region!
This group had initially succeeded in their cover-up, but a small leak can sink a great ship. Due to an insider's leak, the Propagation Moon eventually came knocking on their door!
However, if the Starpiercer is in trouble, military support will arrive quickly, so they deliberately chose to strike at night, preparing for a swift victory!
Even if they are hunted down by the alliance afterwards, they will still have time to escape!
As for Lu Yu... he was accidentally injured!
Since the [Breeding Moon] knew he was in the car, they figured they might as well kill him while they were at it, take his head to the underworld to collect the bounty, and make a fortune!
For the first time, the philanthropist Lu became a bonus!
This feeling is inexplicably a bit unpleasant!
The mouse asked proactively, "Shuren, what should we do next? Become a superhero who suddenly appears out of nowhere and collect protection money?"
As a qualified big capitalist rat, it learned many excellent qualities from Lu Yu.
For example... maximizing profits!
Because the Cult of the Moon of Procreation wanted to cause trouble on the Starpiercer, which affected their travel plans, they had to be stopped.
But it's also unpleasant to be blamed for something else's mistakes; you can't do things that don't benefit you!
Why not earn some extra money!
The little spider nodded in agreement, as long as its owner didn't suffer any losses!
Egg was very satisfied with the taste of the Moon Beast and wanted to eat its fill!
Lu Yu rolled his eyes as he watched the mouse start playing "Hehehe" background music and said:
"Stop thinking about protection money all the time. We're supposed to be respectable people; we can't just focus on these petty gains..."
"?"
The mouse conjured a question mark with its shadow, wanting to retort, "You're the darkest one, Xiu Ren!" but to avoid getting beaten up, it swallowed its words and asked in confusion:
"Are we going to work for free this time?"
"No!"
Lu Yu corrected its wording:
"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!"
The mouse slapped its paw and instantly understood.
It's a case of double-crossing!
I'm asking for monthly votes. I'm currently working on the new chapters and slowly getting back into the swing of things.
