My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 270 - 267 Artificial Secret Realm

The rats had already pounced, leaving Lu Wu no choice but to grab ‘Little Skeleton’ and run.

He knew it was dangerous to face such an unknown number of opponents head-on without understanding their capabilities.

Furthermore, Lu Wu noted that they were standing on earth which could become precarious in a battle, considering that Earth Rats can burrow!

Thus, Lu Wu and ‘Little Skeleton’ switched on their [Charging] skill and started sprinting wildly.

With both activating their skills, they sparked and zipped along, creating a trail of fire and lightning.

Their speed was incredibly fast, and the special effects were dazzling, bringing a different kind of brightness to the dark cave.

However, Lu Wu soon realized the flashy skill effects were not necessarily a good thing.

Although the cave was not merely a straight path and had many forks, which they had taken several of, the flashing lightning they emitted made it impossible for them to shake off the rats.

What was even more troubling for Lu Wu was that, within less than three minutes of running, he noticed that the rat horde behind them had grown in size.

It seemed as if an inexhaustible supply of rats was joining the chase.

This made Lu Wu quite nervous as he couldn’t help worrying, “Could the entire cave be filled with rats?”

Well, Lu Wu guessed right.

Soon enough, rats started surging towards them from the front as well.

Lu Wu’s complexion changed; they were now trapped.

There was no choice but to fight!

“Little Skeleton, break through!”

(Leave it to ‘Little Skeleton’—’Little Skeleton’ is fierce!)

As ‘Little Skeleton’ acknowledged the command, its Bone Staff transformed into a Silver Spear, leading the charge into the fray of the approaching rat horde.

With its Long Spear dancing in hand, lightning flashing, it effortlessly swept away a large swath of Earth Rats.

Then, it unleashed a strike of [Thunder Spear].

Leader Level power combined with the enhancement of the Silver Spear, plus the burst of an Advanced Skill from Master Level proficiency.

In one fell swoop, it shredded through the dozens of Earth Rats in front of them, allowing Lu Wu to break out of the encirclement with ease, avoiding a pincer attack.

This was the absolute crushing might of a Leader Level against Boss 1 Star.

But this was not something to celebrate.

Because Lu Wu and ‘Little Skeleton’ were in no better a situation than before.

Soon, more groups of rats moved to intercept them.

Lu Wu had to rely on ‘Little Skeleton’s’ repeated bursts to break free again and again.

Yet, the cave was surprisingly vast, and the number of Earth Rats inside was unimaginable.

Continuing like this, they might run out of energy before even escaping the cave.

To change this situation, Lu Wu’s mind raced wildly as he surveyed everything around him, gathering information and analyzing it.

“The stability of this cave exceeds expectations. ‘Little Skeleton’ has unleashed so many bursts along the way, yet I haven’t seen any damage to the cave, let alone a collapse.

This is highly abnormal.

The state of these Earth Rats is also abnormal since I can’t see their state.

Plus, their power is remarkably uniform, all at Boss 1 Star, and their numbers are uncountable. ‘Little Skeleton’ has killed over a hundred since we started, and yet they keep coming in endless waves.

This is completely unscientific.

Also, I’ve noticed that the surroundings of the cave seem familiar, but I’ve been moving in one direction the whole time through intersections without turns, and the paths were not long enough to lose my sense of direction.

I should not be coming back to the same place, but the environment keeps repeating.

The cave feels as if it’s been duplicated in modules.”

All these abnormalities, these dissonances led Lu Wu to a realization about the situation he was in.

“I might be inside an Artificial Secret Realm.”

This made Lu Wu’s expression sour.

“It must be. I was wondering how that woman disappeared. How come there were no restrictions; it turns out this cave is the tool for my confinement.

Without a doubt, the place where I woke up must be the only safety zone in this Artificial Secret Realm.

As soon as I leave that area, no matter where I go, I’ll be chased by Earth Rats.”

With this in mind, a choice presented itself to Lu Wu.

Either continue aimlessly wandering outside like a headless fly, to be exhausted to death by the endless horde of Earth Rats, or to return to the safety zone and be a prisoner.

Faced with this dilemma, Lu Wu didn’t hesitate for long.

“Little Skeleton, let’s go back!”

Little Skeleton was stunned and unsure why Lu Wu wanted to go back.

But he obediently followed Lu Wu’s instructions, and the two of them started to head back.

After about half an hour, Lu Wu and Little Skeleton had returned to the place where Lu Wu had woken up.

Sure enough, once they got back there, the swarms of Earth Rats had vanished.

This situation undoubtedly confirmed Lu Wu’s suspicion.

He was trapped by the Red-haired Ms. within an Artificial Secret Realm.

Almost at the same moment that Lu Wu realized this, the voice of the Red-haired Ms. echoed in the cave.

“One hour and three minutes, you’re much better than a certain someone. He killed for three days and three nights before he realized something was wrong and came back here.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Wu immediately put on a sweet smile, “Hello, beautiful, kind, generous and pretty sister!”

“Hmm, the first thing you do is flirt with me, you are just like him.

Some people told me you were his son and I didn’t believe them, but now I’m starting to.

It looks like he’s been doing well these years, having a child who has grown so big. Now, what should I do to cherish you?”

Lu Wu could tell that the Red-haired Ms.’ tone became gentler as she spoke, which terrified him. It felt as if at any moment she might pull out a cleaver and jump out to chop him up.

Lu Wu quickly shook his head.

“Beautiful sister, you’ve got the wrong person. Although I have no idea who this ‘he’ you’re talking about is, he’s definitely not my dad.

My name is Lu Wu, my father’s name is Lu Haikong.

He’s just a plain and ordinary man.

Someone must be jealous of my talent and is framing me!

Both my father and I are really good people,

Especially in relationships, we are both incredibly faithful and good men!”

Lu Wu tried his best to clear both his and his father’s names.

But the more he emphasized loyalty, the more the Red-haired Ms. started to laugh.

That laugh, how should I put it, was very pleasant to the ears but made Lu Wu increasingly uneasy.

He couldn’t help but lean closer to his Little Skeleton.

Though Little Skeleton couldn’t perceive how creepy the laugh was, it could sense Lu Wu’s panic.

So, Little Skeleton hugged Lu Wu.

Comforting (Don’t worry, Little Skeleton will protect Lu Wu. Little Skeleton is super strong.

Even Tuantuan can’t beat Little Skeleton!)

Well, Little Skeleton was getting cocky again.

But in this environment, Little Skeleton’s arrogance was quite useful.

With this hug from Little Skeleton, the voice of the Red-haired Ms. overhead became even more unnerving.

“Not even sparing your Summoned Beast, this exact same heartless madness, how could you not be father and son?”

This was a huge misunderstanding for Lu Wu.

Was he the kind of gentleman who tried every means to turn his Summoned Beasts into little sisters?

Clearly not!

He, Lu Wu, stood tall and firm. How could he possibly have any thoughts about his own Summoned Beast?

For the first time, he crawled out from Little Skeleton’s embrace to show his innocence.

“The more you try to cover, the more it gets exposed, you’re indeed a scumbag!”

Lu Wu’s face darkened, and he returned to Little Skeleton’s embrace.

“So brazen, utterly despicable!”

That was too much.

Lu Wu clarified, “Sister, I really don’t have feelings for Little Skeleton!”

Now it was Little Skeleton’s turn to be unhappy.

Bone hand on its hip.

Liar (Lu Wu likes Little Skeleton the most!)

“Go away, go cool off somewhere else. Can’t you see I’m about to chill out? Stop messing around!”

Lu Wu pushed Little Skeleton away.

With this push, the Red-haired Ms.’s laughter became even more gentle.

“Leading someone on and then abandoning them, you seem very skilled at this, don’t you?”

Alright, Lu Wu gave up struggling. He realized that she was completely convinced that he was a scumbag who even had an affair with Little Skeleton, and whatever he said was useless.

He had to change the subject.

“Sister, is there something you need from me? If there’s anything I can help you with, just tell me!

I guarantee I’ll handle it perfectly for you.”

“I want to meet your father!”

Lu Wu had learned his lesson and no longer argued about whether his father was a good dad or the dad she was looking for. He immediately agreed, “Meet my dad? Easy! Just let me go, and one phone call will guarantee to bring him over to you.”

As soon as Lu Wu said this, the Red-haired Ms. laughed again.

“Such a good child, but I doubt calling him will work.

I’ve already tried calling him using your phone and sent him a video of you, but there’s been no response from his side so far.

So, we need to try a different approach.”

Lu Wu, full of the will to survive, slapped his chest, “Whatever method you want, just say it. I guarantee I’ll cooperate with you!”

The Red-haired Ms. was pleased and joyfully shared her plan with Lu Wu in a gentle voice.

“I plan to find a Mother and Son Tree, then tie you beneath it and cut you with a knife, one slice at a time, until he shows up.”
