Chapter 14

  Betrayal rate is the chance that someone close to you might betray you.

  The higher the chance of betrayal, the higher the value.

  According to the system, in the beginning, the betrayal rate of all strangers was 50%!

  Below 50%, it meant that the other person might have a good relationship with them.

  But once it exceeded 50%, it meant that the person was likely to have a problem with him or her, or have hatred, or even kill him or her.

  Lu Yu had chased after Yan Yun before, but Yan Yun didn’t agree, so he was a stranger to her.

  A betrayal rate of 50% made sense!

  Lu Yu didn’t care about this value but turned around and went back inside, taking out a metal crossbow from under the sofa cushions (which had been hollowed out in advance).

  According to the information seen by the Eye of the Villain just now.

  Monsters like the Scythe Mantis relied on their forelimbs, and it was still easy to crush them without fighting them head-on!

  Wouldn’t that mean that it was easier to sneak an attack from behind?

  Lu Yu wanted to try it!

  The crossbow was prepared in advance when Lu Yu knew the end times were coming.

  During this period, he had practised many times, and the accuracy of using it was not bad.

  Although their Lu family was a serious businessman and could not get a gun in the forbidden Xia country, as a rich second generation, it was still easy to get a crossbow!

  And just in case, he not only had a crossbow in this room but also a longsword that he had bought from Xu Hao earlier, as well as a hand axe.

  Taking the crossbow to the hotel window, Lu Yu stuck the crossbow arrow in the arrow slot of the crossbow arm and then opened the window to look for prey.

  Seeing Lu Yu take out a crossbow with no panic, Yan Yun, who had come back to her senses, looked incredulous.

  What is this guy’s situation?

  Not only did he prepare a weapon in advance, but he also acted.

  How could a normal person see so many terrifying monsters appearing and act?

  This is not scientific!

  ‘Did he already know that these monsters were coming?’

  Lu Yu didn’t know what was going through Yan Yun’s mind. He was just looking at the monsters outside the window, searching for a hunting opportunity.

  Why was he so calm?

  Although Lu Yu had known that the End Times were coming for a long time and had made some preparations in advance.

  But after all, he was not Chu Feng who had been reborn back from the End Times.

  He had not experienced the cruelty of the End Times, and when he saw so many monsters appearing at the same time, he was actually panicked in his heart.

  The reason why he acted so calmly was because of Lu Yu’s other skill.

  Heart of the Villain!

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

  [Heart of the Villain: Drastically strengthen your resilience and courage in battle, allowing you to calm down more easily than the average person when encountering danger..

  This skill was very similar to the Braveheart from a certain anime.

  Although it didn’t have any offensive or defensive abilities, it could strengthen Lu Yu’s resilience and courage.

  In a way, it was more powerful than the other skills Lu Yu had obtained.

  It was important to know that in the early days of the End Times; the monsters were actually not particularly strong.

  A large part of the reason why humans could not defeat these monsters despite heavy casualties was because of the fear of unknown creatures.

  Fear made them lose the ability to fight back.

  Now with the existence of this ‘Heart of the Villain’, Lu Yu could directly go from an ordinary person to a mentally tough warrior.

  Ta-da-da!

  In the middle of Yan Yun’s thoughts, a scythe mantis carried a human’s severed arm in its mouth and flapped its wings as it flew up to the utility pole next to the hotel.

  A pair of huge serrated scythes kept cutting the arm to help it feed quickly.

  The utility pole was taller than normal poles, Lu Yu was standing on the 8th floor, and the distance between the two sides was less than ten metres.

  And the effective killing power of this crossbow was twenty metres.

  So Lu Yu aimed at the back of the mantis’ head scoop and directly pulled the crossbow’s trigger.

  Whoosh!

  Poof!

  The crossbow’s arrow actually easily penetrated the mantis’ head?

  And from the back of the head, scoop all the way to the front face?

  ‘Hiss.’

  The Scythe Mantis ate the pain and let out a creepy scream.

  Only to see it shake its head and throw the uneaten broken arm from the air, its tyrannical and bloodthirsty eyes quickly looking in the direction where Lu Yu was.

  ‘Yikes, it found us .’

  Yan Yun spoke a nonsense.

  She had wanted to ask why Lu Yu was provoking this monster at this time!

  But her brain, now, had lost the ability to think calmly.

  The words that were spoken were poorly chosen.

  ‘Can you still act normally after shooting through your head?’

  Lu Yu ignored her and instead watched the Scythe Mantis’ movements as he furrowed his brow.

  The power of this crossbow was not much worse than a bullet!

  However, it was not a continuous crossbow and could not be fired in succession.

  If this monster forced its way through its injuries and flew straight over, he didn’t have the time to load a second arrow!

  But just as Lu Yu was about to use his newly awakened psychic ability to repel the Scythe Mantis, the ferocious aura in the eyes of the mantis that flew in mid-air actually began to dissipate?

  Soon its eyelids became heavier and heavier, and its wings swung slower and slower!

  In the end, it fell directly from mid-air.

  Bang!

  The two-metre-long body smashed into the concrete floor with a slightly muffled sound.

  ‘Dead? Sure enough, a sneak attack from behind is effective, huh?’

  The corner of Lu Yu’s mouth lifted, and he could not help but feel relieved in his heart.

  The Eye of the Villain, honestly, does not deceive me!

  Lost in thought, he noticed countless lizard men on the ground turning their attention to the scythe mantis crashing down from the sky!

  They pounced forward and back towards the Scythe Mantis.

  The lizard men’s bites were not weak, and they quickly split the mantis into pieces.

  Blood and guts flowed all over the place.

  Something gnawed the mantis down to just a pair of hardened, serrated scythes in less than a minute!

  Half of the head with Lu Yu’s arrow stuck in it rolled to the side!

  As for the several lizard men that had eaten the Scythe Mantis, the lustre of the green scales on their bodies was two points brighter than before.

  Evolution!

  Lu Yu thought of this word.

  These monsters, not only do they hunt humans.

  They would also devour their kind.

  After devouring their own kind, even without a crystal core, they would undergo evolution!

  It’s just that this evolution is not as fast as directly devouring the crystal cores.

  Noticing this, Lu Yu hurriedly closed the window!

  After putting the crossbow back, he took out the longsword he bought from Xu Hao from under the sofa.

  After inspecting the longsword, a line of words immediately appeared in Lu Yu’s line of sight.

  [A sword that is still in the process of awakening. Awakening Completion Level 91% 92% 93%]

  The completion level was growing non-stop.

  Xu Hao, that brat, apparently didn’t deceive himself.

  This damn thing is a divine weapon?

  [Ding, Awakening Complete!

  Between thoughts, the system prompt brought Lu Yu back to reality.

  Once again, he swept a glance.

  [Weapon Type: Sword.]

  [Weapon Name: Green Substrate Sword.]

  [Weapon Grade: Black Iron (Energy Value 0/10)]

  [This sword is the legendary sword used by Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period. Two swords belonged to Cao Cao: a ‘Yitian’ and a ‘Qingyang’; Cao Cao had two swords: one ‘Yitian’ and the other ‘Qingyan’, which he called the ‘two swords of the world’. He wore the Yitian sword himself, and the Qingyan sword was worn by Xiahou’en, who had it taken away by Zhao Yun at Changbanpo.
