Chapter 8 Traitor
After obtaining the Homa Staff, Lu Shiyuan carried a bundle of iron-tipped spears, rented a light carriage, hired the best coachman, and asked him to drive him to Cuijue Slope without stopping.

Although the journey from Liyue Harbor to Cuijue Slope was long, Lu Shiyuan managed to arrive there successfully in the afternoon thanks to the swiftness of his horse. He hurriedly ate some dry food in the car, and after getting off, he followed the marks on the map and soon arrived at the edge of a cliff.

There is a person-sized gap on the cliff wall. It must be the entrance to the secret realm discovered by the adventurers.

However, what he didn't expect was that in front of the entrance to the secret realm, there were actually two people dressed as adventurers, a man and a woman, guarding there. They seemed to be acquaintances he had met several times in Liyue Port.

Lu Shiyuan frowned and walked forward. Seeing this, the two men also came forward.

The two sides looked at each other, and the male adventurer couldn't help but speak first: "You look familiar. Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Do you know Lu Qianzhi?" Lu Shiyuan asked without any politeness.

"Of course I know him." The two looked at each other and nodded, "Qianzhi is our friend."

Lu Shiyuan frowned slightly. These two guys actually called his sister by her name, which made him a little unhappy, but he still suppressed his unhappiness and asked, "I heard that Qianzhi is adventuring in the secret place here. Since you are her friends, why don't you go in with her to explore? What are you doing here?"

"We are naturally on the lookout outside. Qianzhi and other companions are exploring inside. No one is guarding outside. What should we do if we are attacked from both sides?" The female adventurer replied coldly, "We have answered your question. Now can you tell us who you are?"

"I'm Qianzhi's brother. I'm here to look for her. How long has she been in there?" Lu Shiyuan reluctantly accepted the answer and stated his identity and purpose.

"Is this guy Lu Qianzhi's useless brother?" the male adventurer thought to himself, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

The female adventurer frowned slightly, but still replied, "Qianzhi has been in there for almost a whole day."

"..." Although Lu Shiyuan had expected this answer, he still felt angry and said angrily, "She's been in there for so long, aren't you worried that she might be in danger?"

"What else can we do?" The male adventurer spread his hands. "We don't have the Eye of God. If a thousand papers can't solve the problem, we'll just die if we go in."

Lu Shiyuan listened, his face gloomy at this moment, he stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Don't call my sister like that! You are a cowardly guy, you are not worthy of being her friend."

The male adventurer was also angry and said unhappily: "If you want to die, go ahead and do it yourself. I didn't do anything wrong."

"Forget it, there's no point in getting entangled with you guys." Lu Shiyuan snorted coldly and turned directly towards the entrance of the secret realm.

Time was running out and he didn't have time to argue with this coward.

However, just when Lu Shiyuan touched the entrance to the secret realm, he suddenly felt a murderous intent coming from behind!

"What!" Lu Shiyuan's heart skipped a beat and he reacted subconsciously. Before he turned around, he had already controlled the Homa staff and swung it behind him.

"clang--"

There was a sound of metal colliding.

Lu Shiyuan finally came to his senses at this moment, and saw the male adventurer with a broken knuckle and bleeding hands holding a dagger that had been broken in half by the Staff of Homa, looking at him in shock.

Although the female adventurer did not take action, there was a fierce gleam in her eyes, and she was obviously an accomplice.

"You..." Lu Shiyuan frowned, his thoughts raced like lightning, his expression gradually became surprised and angry!
“After seeing me about to enter the secret realm, you two actually attacked me and tried to stop me.

In other words, there are things in the secret realm that I cannot see, and the things I cannot see are only… things that are not good for Qianzhi.”

Thinking of this, Lu Shiyuan's thoughts suddenly became clear, "So that's it! Qianzhi has a stone bell that can rely on echolocation. Even if facing an invincible enemy, he will definitely be able to avoid it. Except... our own people!"

"These guys have betrayed Qianzhi!" Lu Shiyuan had completely understood the whole story, and his eyes were filled with anger as he looked at the two adventurers.

No, these people can no longer be called adventurers, they have degenerated into... treasure thieves!

"What kind of interests can make you betray your companions?" Lu Shiyuan asked in a deep voice.

"I didn't expect you to figure it out!" The male adventurer couldn't believe it at first, but then he smiled coldly, "But it's useless. No matter what tricks you use, you will end up dying here like Lu Qianzhi!

Lu Qianzhi is almost dead. If you go in, your fate will be no different from hers..."

"boom--"

Before the male adventurer could finish his words, he saw a black gun barrel growing bigger and bigger in front of his eyes. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain on his cheek and was hit by the gun barrel and flew out, with many white teeth flying out of his mouth!
"Whoosh-"

When the male adventurer fell to the ground, Lu Shiyuan pulled out the iron-tipped spear from behind him and threw it out like a javelin. The spear head had a fierce impact and pierced the male adventurer's thigh directly. The tip of the spear even sank deeply into the ground, nailing the male adventurer there!
"Ahhh-"

The male adventurer suddenly let out a wild howl, his face twisted in agony.

After doing these things, Lu Shiyuan looked at the female adventurer very calmly, as if asking: What about you?

The female adventurer collapsed to the ground in fear and asked in a trembling voice: "Why... why are you so strong?"

"boom--"

Lu Shiyuan didn't waste any more words and knocked the female adventurer unconscious. He said to himself, "I will come back and deal with you guys after I rescue my sister."

As he spoke, he stepped into the secret realm.

The secret realm was dark. There was no light source except candles and torches. Lu Shiyuan was holding the Homa staff and walking quickly in the cleared alley.

After walking for a while, a fat man wearing a mask blocked his way.

Unlike the two people who were keeping watch outside, the traitors in the secret realm had completely transformed into the attire of a treasure-stealing group.

"How did you get in?" the fat man roared in a muffled voice.

What greeted him was a fiery red gun tip.

The fat man's chubby body retreated repeatedly, and at the same time he pulled out his weapon from behind. It was a huge wooden stick, which was full of nails, like a ferocious mace!

After confirming that it was an enemy, the fat man hit him with his stick without hesitation.

"Anyone who stands in the way will die!" Lu Shiyuan's expression remained unchanged. He dodged the mace and thrust his spear out at a tricky angle, piercing deeply into the fat man's ribs. With a twist of his wrist, he twisted his internal organs into a mess!
After just one round, the fat man fell to the ground.

If Yuan could still keep his sanity when he left the secret realm, then when he entered the secret realm and saw these guys who were dressed and had the same temperament as the treasure-stealing group, he could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart!
After all, what he hated most in his life was the treasure-stealing group!
Lu Shiyuan shook off the blood on the gun, stepped on the fat man's body, and walked forward with an indifferent expression.
