Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 694 - 369: I See You

As soon as Lu Yu stepped into the village, he felt malicious gazes fall upon him.

The monsters hidden inside the houses stared at Lu Yu with undisguised malevolence, their malicious gazes piercing straight through him.

After the effects brought by the interface of different time flow rates ended, Lu Yu lifted his foot and walked into the village. Although the shattered world was dangerous, it could also produce things not found in ordinary worlds.

Those things had unique uses within the shattered world.

"Boom!", shattered planks and wood chips flew wildly.

Lu Yu had just passed the entrance of a house when a figure covered in black oil rushed out, lunging straight at him, its hands clawing wildly, and mouth open wide as if to bite Lu Yu.

He turned his head to see black oil continuously seeping from the throat of the figure, as if it was a monster made of black oil.

Boom! Lu Yu struck through the air, hitting the black oil figure, and the powerful shockwave sent it flying back into the house through the hole it burst from.

"The strength isn't very strong, and its body isn't liquid." Lu Yu judged from the recoil he felt in the air.

Lu Yu sensed the muscles, fat, and bones within the black oil figure's body.

Swish~ The shattered planks flew back from afar, as if time had reversed, and everything reverted to its original state.

"Boom!" The black oil figure crashed through the house and launched an attack at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's eyes narrowed as he released his spiritual power, pressing down hard...

Woosh~ He sidestepped, avoiding the black oil figure's attack. The monster smashed into the ground, rolling several times before stopping, then immediately scrambled up and charged at Lu Yu again.

Lu Yu glanced at the spiritual power dispersed into the air, frowning, as he realized he couldn't release spiritual power here.

"Troublesome!"

Lu Yu looked around, swish swish swish~ kicking pieces of broken wood from the ground. The irregular fragments flew like knives, embedding into the approaching black oil figure.

Thunk thunk thunk~ The immense power attached to the wood pieces halted the black oil figure's advances, its body shivering in repeated collisions.

Lu Yu halted his movements, and the black oil figure stopped shaking, straightened its body, and all the wooden pieces stuck in it fell off.

The black oil on its body prevented the wood from penetrating, and once the impact force was lost, the pieces dropped off.

Lu Yu's pupils shrank slightly, clearly seeing that the black oil figure hadn't sustained any damage from the attack.

It seemed that only "force" could affect these creatures; no other methods could harm the black oil figure.

After a moment's stare, Lu Yu took a low-level spiritual weapon from his backpack.

As soon as the spiritual weapon was retrieved, the spiritual light upon it rapidly dissipated, turning it into a rusty knife in an instant, appearing as if it had been left for hundreds of years, lost all power, and was corroded by time.

Lu Yu wasn't concerned about the transformation of the spiritual weapon, as he had anticipated this.

Aiming at the black oil figure, he forcefully projected the rusty knife. Even if it had rusted, it was still metal and retained a certain sharpness.

Thunk~ Boom!

The tip of the knife struck the black oil figure, and the immense force attached to it sent it flying, breaking through the house behind it and tumbling into the darkness inside.

Swish swish swish~ Friction sounds emanated from the shattered house, and three black oil figures emerged from the broken hole.

Lu Yu fixed his gaze on the last figure; it was the one that had been hit, with no damage on its body, further confirming to Lu Yu one thing.

Only "force" could act upon these monsters.

"Roar!" The monster opened its mouth wide, emitting a silent roar, with no sound coming out, only unknown viscous black substance dribbling from its mouth corners.

Boom boom boom~ The endless black oil figures rushed toward Lu Yu, only to be knocked away by him, smashing the surrounding houses.

The houses that were smashed would, after some time, seemingly reverse in time, automatically restore, and another black oil figure would walk out from within.

Lu Yu couldn't kill them; the only thing he could do was knock the encroaching black oil figures away, preventing them from "infecting" him.

However, this didn't pressure Lu Yu too much.

The attributes of the black oil figures were akin to the peak of Qi Sea Realm non-Body Refinement Martial Cultivators, making it easy for him to knock them away.

Yet the constant assault and siege made Lu Yu endlessly weary.

The key was, since spiritual power couldn't be released, otherwise, he could just erect a spiritual power barrier to isolate the numerous black oil figures.

Boom! After knocking away the monster ahead, Lu Yu suddenly noticed a ray of light emerging from a gap, quickly shielded by layers of figures.

Convinced he wasn't mistaken, Lu Yu walked toward the place where the light had appeared.

The dominant tone of this village was silence and desolation, the environment dim and gloomy; distant spots were shrouded in gray mist, appearing quite blurry.

Light was very rare, and quite unusual.

Getting closer, Lu Yu discerned the source of the light: it was a well.

This well was situated at the village's center, likely the water source for the whole village, with white light emanating from the well's mouth. The black oil figures instinctively avoided the area around the well and didn't come near.

Once Lu Yu stepped within thirty feet of the well, the black oil figures ceased to attack him, circling outside and soon dispersing, retreating back to the houses.

Watching as all the black oil figures returned to the houses, Lu Yu turned around to face the well.

The entrance was cloaked in a faint white light, obscuring anything inside.
