Nine Turns of Nirvana

Lu Yu treated all the remaining Donglin City soldiers.

He did not show off to Tong Fang, but directly adjusted his breathing on the spot.

Although he could not recover his true essence here, he could still restore his spiritual strength by adjusting his breathing. Although he acted calm during the whole treatment process, in fact, the consumption of spiritual strength in the process of fighting against the power of the demon was very huge, and he had to replenish it in time.

After several big cycles, Lu Yu woke up from his meditation. His spiritual strength had been restored and he became energetic again.

At this time, the situation around him had changed greatly. Everyone had finished resting and returned to their respective posts. Fuyou became busy again.

Only in the area where Lu Yu was meditating, everyone took the initiative to move out of a certain range, and everyone's actions avoided this range to avoid disturbing Lu Yu's breathing.

This is also a manifestation of respect for Lu Yu... To a certain extent, Lu Yu has now truly won the respect of everyone. Before, their respect for Lu Yu was just a formality, but now it is a heartfelt love.

After all, this is the person who can save their lives at a critical moment...

Lu Yu looked at the fetal pressure array again. At this time, the range of the array has been transferred to the bottom of the Fuyou, that is, the abdomen of the Jinkun beast, which looks more like the powerful gastrointestinal system of the ancient beast.

The long-tailed scorpion has also become bloody and the whole body has been severely corroded. Some parts even directly expose the white bones... It will not be long before it is finally digested.

Lu Yu distinguished the direction and returned to the area of ​​the Jinkun beast's skull. As expected, he found Tong Fang here.

It seems that Tong Fang is very busy and is processing a pile of documents. If Lu Yu is not wrong, it should be the casualty report in the previous battle.

"How many people were lost?" Lu Yu asked.

Tong Fang raised his head and looked at him with a slightly surprised expression.

He could understand that his subordinates did not report Lu Yu's arrival. After all, everyone now regarded Lu Yu as a non-threatening person. It was no exaggeration to say that his status on Fuyou was equal to his own...

But the problem was that he himself did not notice Lu Yu's arrival. It was not until Lu Yu spoke that he realized that this was simply impossible given the difference in their cultivation realms.

"What? Is the situation very bad?" Lu Yu asked again.

Tong Fang came back to his senses and replied, "Nearly 500 people were lost... If you hadn't taken action, the number would have exceeded 500. The situation is indeed very bad..."

Lu Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The total number of people on Fuyou when it set sail was only 3,500. This time, 500 people were directly lost, and the proportion of casualties reached one-seventh. This was just the first wave of fighting on this journey, which was indeed a heavy casualty.

"Think positively..." Lu Yu comforted, "Although so many people were lost, at least you succeeded in capturing the long-tailed scorpion, right? I remember you said before that this monster seems to be quite rare, at least it can make up for your losses to a certain extent, right?"

Tong Fang couldn't help but look in the direction of the tire pressure array, and sighed faintly: "I can only think so..."

Lu Yu's heart moved: "Master Tong, don't fool me... Do you really think so? I'm afraid it's not necessarily..."

"Why did you say that, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yu said: "It's very simple. If I'm not mistaken, we are now sailing into a deeper area of ​​the outer world. This will face more dangers and more prey... Isn't this enough to explain the problem?"

Tong Fang was surprised: "You can actually sense our current direction? There is no reference for you to refer to... How did you see it?"

Lu Yu did not answer.

He naturally wouldn't tell the other party that after the previous series of confrontations, he was now extremely sensitive to the power of the demons... Even if there was no reference this time, he could clearly sense that the power of the demons was gradually becoming stronger in the direction of advance, which was obviously a sign of further penetration into the world outside the domain... This was the basis for his judgment.

"It doesn't matter how I saw it... What matters is, are you really going to have another big fight? Aren't you afraid of encountering a long-tailed demon scorpion with two tails again? Aren't you afraid of losing another 500 people?" Lu Yu said.

"With you here, I don't think we will lose another 500 people..." Tong Fang said, "Perhaps you will think that I am unwilling to give up and want to make a comeback, so I chose to take risks... It is undeniable that I do have such thoughts, but this is not the most important thing. What I really want to do is to take a shortcut."

"Shortcut?"

Tong Fang nodded and continued: "From the Cancer Star Region, circumventing the outer world and reaching the western star region of the heavens and myriad worlds, the most reliable way under normal circumstances is to stick to the edge of the outer world all the way... In this way, the probability of us encountering high-level monsters will be greatly reduced, but the corresponding journey will become extremely long, and it is not surprising that it will take decades...

"If I remember correctly, there seems to be a three-year agreement between you and His Majesty the God King? So we must send you to your destination in the shortest time possible... If we want to save time, we must enter the deeper areas of the outer world!"

Lu Yu was stunned: "What's the reason? Entering the deeper areas of the outer world, doesn't it mean going around a bigger circle and taking a longer journey? How can it save time?"

Tong Fang said: "It does seem so on the surface, but in fact, there is a special turbulence in the outer world. The deeper we go, the faster the turbulence is, and we can travel at a faster speed... Although it is true that we have walked a longer distance, it actually takes less time. "

Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Similar to overtaking on a curve?"

Tong Fang said, "Yes, it is overtaking on a curve, but this time we are going to enter the outer ring of the curve!"

Lu Yu was stunned and speechless. It seems that there are still many unknown characteristics in the world outside the domain. This is also a world containing rich mysteries...

"How about it? Mr. Lu, do you dare to challenge the deeper world of desire?" Tong Fang said again, "It is undeniable that this does mean more danger, but if you want to save time, this is also the only choice!"

Lu Yu spread his hands and sighed, "You are not afraid, so what should I be afraid of? Let's go!"
