Proficiency Panel Right At The Beginning - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 The Cold-Blooded Guy

“Duo!”

Lu Ren let out a low roar, turned around, and twisted. He actually twisted the monster’s head off, and a large amount of brown blood spurted out from the wound.

Flop!

As he saw the monster fall to the ground and stopped moving, Lu Ren ignored the series of System notifications in his mind about his increased proficiency levels. He sat down on the ground and panted heavily. He was almost completely drained.

The battle just now had not even taken a minute, but his full concentration and all-out attack had drained his physical strength and made him feel really exhausted.

The hundreds of rounds of battle in movies were definitely fake. This kind of battle with full concentration consumed a lot of energy.

Looking at the flames in the stretch of pitch-black darkness outside the window, Lu Ren heaved a sigh of relief. He slowly stood up and walked toward the Bamboo Node Blade monster.

He shone the flashlight of his phone on the other party’s corpse. After making a comparison, Lu Ren bent down and tore off the monster’s two bone blades.

This scene made the few people who had survived feel a chill run down their spines. Not only was he not afraid of this monster, he had even attacked it!

He rubbed it lightly. The blade hilt was completely a hard bone. It could be said to be a natural weapon.

Moreover, it was quite easy to use. The long blade was like a straight knife, but the edges on both sides were quite sharp. It was about three feet long.

For a sharp blade with sharp edges on both sides, the Basic Sword Technique still classified it as a sword. At least, he could use it smoothly with the Basic Sword Technique.

Lu Ren was very satisfied with this. Not to mention anything else, at least this monster had contributed two weapons to him. In such an environment, this would greatly increase his chances of survival.

It was a little like a beginner being given equipment in a RPG.

As he complained in his heart, Lu Ren took the other blade. After confirming that there was nothing useful on the monster, he walked out of the office with the two blades in his hands.

Looking at Li Shu, who was standing at the door with a stool, Lu Ren said casually, “Why are you standing here?”

Li Shu looked at Lu Ren in shock. The scene of Lu Ren killing a monster with his bare hands just now was still vivid in her mind.

This was too violent and shocking!

Just like the male lead in the movie, he was fast and powerful, and his martial arts were superb. He was not afraid of such a bizarre monster.

She felt a little moist… Tears had come out from the corners of her eyes.

This kind of person was terrifyingly calm and decisive. He was expressionless when he attacked Chen Jin. He seemed like a cold-blooded machine.

Li Shu felt a chill run down her spine.

“I… I wanted to come over to see if there was anything I could help with,” Li Shu stammered.

Lu Ren looked at her in surprise and said calmly, “You would only die if you had come over. I didn’t even have any extra strength to save you.”

Although Lu Ren had spoken politely, Li Shu could understand what he meant. If she had charged in without permission, Lu Ren would definitely watch coldly from the side and not help.

This was a brutal person, and he did not seem to have any abnormal attitude toward the sudden change of environment in this territory.

It was as if the other party had experienced it before?!

Lu Ren did not care about the change in Li Shu’s expression at all. After experiencing the first encounter in the mystic realm, no matter how kind the other party was in reality, once it involved life and death, hardship and suffering, and extreme hunger, the ugliness in one’s heart would be infinitely magnified. At least, in the mystic ruins which seemed to have been silent for decades, if they could not obtain enough food to maintain their needs, then the ten over people here might repeat the scenes in the Silent Forest. When there was no food then in the later period, those few who had been so ravaged by hunger, looked at everyone with green eyes.

Seeing that Lu Ren was carefully sharpening the two sharp bone blades in his hands, Li Shu asked carefully, “Big Brother, have you experienced such an encounter before?”

At this moment, Wang Chengliang and Zhao Hui had long disappeared. It was not known if they were dead or hiding somewhere. Only Lu Ren and Li Shu were left in the huge office area.

Hearing the other party’s careful questioning and how obedient she was, Lu Ren glanced at Li Shu.

He had observed very carefully and wondered what she did in reality. She was so beautiful and so skilled.

He did not answer. After confirming that the two strange sharp swords were connected to the bones of Bamboo Node Blade and that the hilts were completely natural, Lu Ren stood up and said, “You’d better find a place to hide, as long as you can last seven days.”

Li Shu caught the key point in Lu Ren’s words.

“Do you know such a place?”

“I don’t know.”

Thereafter, no matter how hard the other party asked, Lu Ren remained silent. He ignored Li Shu and prepared to go up another floor.

Chen Jin, Feng Zicheng, and Ren Zhoucheng had been killed in a tragic manner. The stench of blood filled the air.

If there were still monsters in this place, there was a high chance that they would be attracted by the strong odor.

In short, it was not suitable to stay here for

long.

Looking at Lu Ren’s departing back view, Li Shu could not help but ask in a low voice, “Where are you going?”

Lu Ren did not reply. He fastened one sword to his waist and rushed up the stairs with a sword in his hand. The light of the phone in his hand was still flashing.

In a situation where one’s surroundings could not be clearly seen, the threat to one’s life from remaining in a dark place was far more dangerous than an environment with a light source.

After inspecting this floor and not finding anything unusual, Lu Ren still did not dare to let his guard down.

Who would know if a monster might crawl out from that dark corner? Till now, Lu Ren was still clueless about where that fat monster and the so-called Bamboo Node Blade monster had run out from.

As usual, he found a room in the middle that was connected to four passageways. After using some scattered items in the office area to set up a simple warning device, Lu Ren lay down on the soft sofa that was covered in dust.

After a moment of silence, and after he had checked that the surrounding routes in and out had all been set up with warning devices, Lu Ren tiredly closed the door of the office which had tempered glass all around.

He turned off the flashlight on his phone and saw that there was little battery left. Lu Ren had no choice but to turn off his phone and put it in his backpack.

Being mentally and physically exhausted, he fell asleep almost immediately. He still held the longsword tightly in his hand. With his body slightly turned one side, he could ensure that he would be able to exert strength immediately upon waking up.

Lu Ren was very alert. If there was any movement, he would definitely be the first to react.

There was no more movement throughout the night. The extremely exhausted Lu Ren gradually fell asleep.

The next day, the sky was bright. Lu Ren slowly woke up only when the grayish sunlight shone on his face.

Lu Ren sat up and looked around. He paused at the door to make sure that there was no threat before getting up to unlock the door.
