His tone was so calm, as if he were out shopping for groceries, which seemed particularly out of place in this desolate place filled with the atmosphere of death and carnage.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba seemed to be stunned for a long time. Damn it, has this kid taken the wrong medicine?

"Yes, yes, so what?" Wang Ba regained consciousness and sneered, "You piece of trash, you dare to come to the Lost Land? Are you here to die?"

"Oh? Yes, I came out for a walk? You guys are busy, I'll be going now." Zhou Shu turned to leave. Completing the task was the most important thing; there was no point in getting entangled with this rascal.

"Stop right there!" Wang Ba got impatient when he saw that Zhou Shu was ignoring him. "Who gave you permission to leave? You'll get a beating if I don't teach you a lesson today! Hey? Grandpa, what are you doing here!"

Although Wang Ba was arrogant and domineering, he had a psychological trauma related to his grandfather since childhood.

The henchmen following Wang Ba stared wide-eyed. Had Wang Ba gone mad? Calling Zhou Shu "Grandpa"? We didn't hear wrong, did we?

"You unfilial descendant, is this how you cultivate after being sent out for trials?"

Those around them only saw Zhou Shu slap Wang Ba hard across the face!

Good heavens! Has the world changed?

Those around Wang Ba, seeing him stammering, didn't know what was wrong with him, but seeing his expression, they didn't dare to interrupt. A young man mustered his courage and tugged at Wang Ba's sleeve, saying, "Brother Ba, he is..."

Zhou Shu glared fiercely at the boy and shouted, "Who are you to talk when I'm disciplining my own son?"

Snapped!

Wang Ba slapped the boy across the face and glared at him fiercely: "This is my grandfather, do you have a death wish?"

He glared at the others and said in a low voice, "He's my grandfather. You all better remember that!"

Zhou Shu waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Avoid being impetuous, and cultivate diligently with the right attitude!"

"Yes Yes Yes"

Seeing Wang Ba being so respectful to Zhou Shu, the boys had many doubts, but they still followed Wang Ba and responded to Zhou Shu's words like chickens pecking at rice.

Only after Zhou Shu had left their sight did the boys stammer about what had just happened.

"Then why didn't you interrupt me then!" Wang Ba's face had turned black with anger!

Seeing the resentful look in the eyes of the boy who had just been beaten, Wang Ba already knew what had happened.

"Zhou Shu, I will never let you get away with this!!"

Some of the outside awakened individuals looked at Wang Ba with pity. He had just called Zhou Shu "Grandpa," but now he was going to be at odds with him. It was truly pitiful that he had lost his mind at such a young age.

Once Zhou Shu was out of Wang Ba's sight, he couldn't hold back his laughter any longer: "Hahaha..."

Those around Zhou Shu were startled by his laughter.

Zhou Shu quickly apologized.

I never expected the Sharingan's genjutsu to be so powerful. It turns out that the scenes materialized by the Sharingan's genjutsu are directly projected into the other person's mind. As long as the person being genjutsu doesn't suspect anything, outsiders can't wake up from the genjutsu that Zhou Shu planted.

"This illusion technique is useful, but it consumes too much energy," Zhou Shu muttered to himself.

Although this place is already a lost land, there is still a fortress a kilometer outside the city. It is the first line of defense for the residents of Qingye City, and it is relatively safer than the front line. Zhou Shu decided to use this opportunity to recover his spiritual power before going to the front line to hunt a few wasteland wolves to complete that damned mission.

The sky over the Lost Lands was always gray, and the corpses of monsters were everywhere. Some of the corpses had completely rotted away, and you could even clearly see human skulls inside their bellies.

This place is a paradise for monsters and a purgatory for humans.

"Gurgle. Caw caw."

Black corpse crows nearby were gnawing on the carcasses of demonic beasts. They were also demonic beasts, but the older cultivators called them purifiers of the Lost Land.

That's true; otherwise, with such a large number of corpses, a plague would be most likely to break out. In that case, all living beings would suffer.

Faced with the powerful plague, humans, monsters, and even plants were treated equally. The corpse crows were not very intelligent, but they did not disturb humans, only ate the flesh of the dead, and never attacked humans.

Sometimes, you can see a few corpse crows in the city, gnawing on the corpses of homeless people. People are used to it and don't think of them as monsters at all.

beep....

The alarms at the front sounded again, followed by another alarm from the city walls. Zhou Shu stretched, showing no fear of the impending battle, but rather a sense of excitement.

Zhou Shu rushed to the front line, where more than twenty awakened individuals were fighting against hundreds of wasteland wolves. The blood of warriors and the blood of demonic beasts mingled together.

"Second team of Xuan, advance. First team of Xuan, retreat to recover your spiritual power. Third team of Xuan, prepare."

The Awakened Ones were seen calmly resisting the approaching Wasteland Wolves; these were warriors who had shed their blood to defend Green Leaf City.

"Hoo," Zhou Shu took a deep breath, calmed his excited emotions, and rushed straight through the fortress towards the pack of wasteland wolves.

"The bloodline of the Candle Dragon awakens!"

A white mark spread across his entire left arm, and white flames enveloped his hands. This was Zhou Shu's first time using his bloodline power in battle; despite possessing the strength of a fifth-rank cultivator, he only managed to unleash the power of a sixth-rank cultivator.

Zhou Shu improved little by little during the battle, entering a state of ethereal clarity. He felt the exertion of every muscle and the release of every bit of spiritual energy.

At the beginning, it took Zhou Shu almost 30 minutes to kill one of the many Steppenwolves under their siege. After gradually mastering the techniques, he can now kill one in about 10 minutes.

Gradually, without using any martial arts skills, Zhou Shu was able to kill a wasteland wolf on average every 7 minutes. Although the mission issued by the system had long been completed, Zhou Shu did not retreat from the front line until the beast tide was completely over.

Although it was only a short half-day, everyone was deeply impressed by this boy who came from nowhere. Although the boy was not very strong, only at the fifth rank, he seemed tireless and had not rested since he went online.

Furthermore, his reaction speed is extremely fast. Even when surrounded by dozens of wasteland wolves, he can remain completely unscathed despite his mediocre agility.

It's nothing short of a miracle.

After the small-scale beast tide ended, Zhou Shu, fearing his identity would be exposed, quickly left the scene.

"Phew! I've had quite a haul today."

The best way to improve oneself is through actual combat. Only through repeated actual combat can one solidify one's skills and enrich one's experience in fighting enemies.

Aside from that, what made him happiest was that he had made a small contribution to the residents of Qingye City and received their respect. Zhou Shu felt it was necessary to do something for them. But he was not a savior after all, and could only do what he could within his capabilities.

Just as I was about to reach the city gate, I unexpectedly saw Wang Ba again. Ugh! That guy is like a persistent ghost.
