Chapter 15: Seizing Food from The Mouth of A Tiger, Huge Harvest

Translator: Lordbluefire 

Lu Yuan didn’t toss out rocks for the fourth time. On the contrary, he decided to return and climb down via the stone wall.

After that, at a distance of roughly 100 meters away from the black-rune graystone beetles, he stopped at the area with the narrowest crevices. A plastic bucket that couldn’t be considered large then appeared with a flip of his right hand.

He opened the bucket and poured the viscous and transparent liquid out.

This was a new type of flammable oil, which was colorless and odorless. After igniting it, the flames would be able to persist for quite a long time. In addition, the temperature generated was exceedingly high.

This item could produce miraculous effects in unique situations. Lu Yuan had purchased this just in case, but who would have thought that he really had the chance to use it.

Lu Yuan poured the oil into the tunnel and went to-and-fro a few times to guarantee that the passage could be blocked completely.

After that, he climbed up the stone wall again.

When he reached the top, he took out a green plastic bag.

The material used to make this plastic bag was a special nylon material that was sturdy, water-proof, and wear-resistant. It could be used on many occasions.

This was one of the necessities listed in the forum post for newbies.

Lu Yuan had bought them just in case of emergencies, a total of 20 of them.

Somehow he had a use for them now.

Lu Yuan opened up all the plastic bags and began to stuff many grains of sand and rocks that suffered erosion from the cold wind.

Basically, he stuffed all the sand and rocks he could see into the 20 plastic bags.

After the bags were filled, he divided them into five sets by tying four plastic bags together with a rope.

When the preparation was done, Lu Yuan revealed a smile.

His preparations were almost complete, only lacking the final step.

Lu Yuan stared at his location and then went to the top of the stone wall that was nearest to the wooden treasure chest.

He took out his Blacklight Alloy Sword and exerted force to stab it deep into the stone wall, only leaving the hilt.

After that, Lu Yuan took out a thick, long rope and tied it to the sword’s hilt.

He forcefully tugged at it and after ascertaining that the rope had tightened, he sprayed some deodorant on his body to get rid of his body smell.

After putting away the deodorant, Lu Yuan clapped his hands and narrowed his eyes.

“Preparations complete. Next, it will depend on whether I can turn a bicycle into a motorbike.”

Although Lu Yuan already had a plan, he also couldn’t guarantee a success rate of 100%.

However, fullness for the bold and famine for the timid—the treasure was right before his eyes. Lu Yuan wasn’t a person who would ignore something like that.

As long as the success rate wasn’t low, he was willing to try things out.

Lu Yuan then cast a glance at the two black-rune graystone beetles below.

Maybe it was because there was no sound of rocks falling, the two black-rune graystone beetles seemed to be enjoying their meals.

But very soon later, they wouldn’t be happy anymore.

Lu Yuan’s lips curled as he revealed a smile.

He went to the top of the stone wall where he had thrown rocks earlier and took out another four rocks that he prepared. He then began to toss them two by two in different directions.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The continuous sound of rocks falling caused the two black-rune graystone beetles who were enjoying their meals to start at the same time.

They then let out angry screeches.

The repetitive sounds of rock falling without end made them exceptionally angry.

The black-rune graystone beetles immediately rushed out.

Lu Yuan stood atop the stone wall and watched as the two black-rune graystone beetles charged toward the transparent lines that were created by the flammable oil he had poured earlier, each heading in two different directions where the rocks hit the ground.

When they arrived, Lu Yuan smiled and took out a torch. After lighting it, he hurled the torch with all his strength toward the oil.

RUMBLE~~

The moment the torch came in contact with the oil, an exceedingly high temperature from the blazing fire scorched the atmosphere. The flames gushed forth and reached the top of the stone wall almost instantly.

Lu Yuan could even feel the sweltering heat from his position. It caused his skin to feel some piercing pain.

Moreover, as the high temperature consumed a vast amount of oxygen, he also found it somewhat difficult to breathe.

However, Lu Yuan didn’t stop his plan.

Just like the countless times he had rehearsed in his mind, he grabbed one set of four plastic bags and threw them to the top of the wall of flames.

Rumble~

The high temperature immediately dissolved the plastic bags. As a result, sand and stone fell out and began to be whirled along with the blistering heat and raging wind.

Lu Yuan didn’t stop and immediately tossed the second set of plastic bags out.

After that, it was the third set and the fourth set…

When the fifth set was thrown out, the air was already extremely murky.

In this region, a sea of flames could be seen. A small portion of sand and stone began to melt as they landed on the ground, while the majority of the sand and stone was whirling in the wind, forming an invisible barrier.

The two black-rune graystone beetles immediately discovered the unusual situation. They swiftly turned and shrieked as they rushed toward the direction they came from.

However, they stopped before the wall of flames.

With such heat, although they were elite-grade ferocious beasts, they would still be injured if they charged past it.

Upon sensing danger, they hesitated for a while.

At this moment, a portion of the melted sand and stone landed on the backs of the black-rune graystone beetles, causing them to screech in pain.

Green smoke began to emit from their shells. This frightened the two black-rune graystone beetles badly, and they involuntarily retreated a few steps as they shrieked frenziedly at the wall of flames.

When the two black-rune graystone beetles were hesitating, Lu Yuan had gone to the spot where he had prepared the rope earlier.

He grabbed the rope with his hands and directly jumped down, his movements even quicker than special crack troops.

If there was only a wall of flames, Lu Yuan’s current actions would have been seen by the two black-rune graystone beetles.

But now, there was even yellow sand and melted stone flying in the air, causing the entire area to turn a murky yellow. Since their vision was blocked, the two black-rune graystone beetles naturally didn’t notice that someone had sneaked into their base and was preparing to steal their treasure.

Lu Yuan’s speed was extremely fast. He merely used a few breaths of time to descend the stone wall of about 40+ meters.

After landing on the ground, Lu Yuan directly sprinted toward the wooden treasure chest.

There was no lock on the treasure chest, so he directly opened it.

After opening, Lu Yuan saw the things within.

There was a white ball of light and a green ball of light.

Inside the white ball, numerous strange-looking threads were entangling each other. As for the green ball of light, there was the shape of a black-colored large sword inside.

Lu Yuan didn’t even think about it and directly absorbed the two balls of light into his battle rune tattoo space.

After that, Lu Yuan grabbed the rope and began climbing up the stone wall.

The speed of his ascent was much slower compared to the speed of his descent. However, Lu Yuan still managed to reach the top in about ten seconds.

After climbing to the top of the stone wall, Lu Yuan didn’t even have time to catch his breath. He immediately put the rope away and removed the Blacklight Alloy Sword that he had embedded in the wall earlier. After that, he brought the Blacklight Alloy Sword with him as he began to flee.

Although the duration of the flammable oil would still persist for some time, because the battle tattoo space was limited, he had only brought a limited amount of that oil. In addition to the fact that sand and gravel kept falling down constantly, the wall of flames would probably dissipate soon after.

When the flames were fully dissipated and the two black-rune graystone beetles discovered his existence, he would surely become a corpse.

(If I don’t take the chance and flee now, should I stay behind and wait for death?)

Now, Lu Yuan swiftly fled the scene following the stone wall, while the raging winds and flames were still strong.

He only stopped after he had run for a certain distance. He collapsed on a spot at the top of the stone wall as he panted unceasingly, allowing the sand blown by the raging wind to brush past his face.

Although the duration of his actions wasn’t long, he was now very tired.

This didn’t only exhaust a lot of his stamina…his physical fatigue and tensed nerves caused him to feel even more tired.

However…

When Lu Yuan looked at the two balls of light in his battle tattoo space, his lips curled into a smile of wild joy.

As a new gene fighter that had only awakened for a few days, stealing a treasure chest from two elite-grade ferocious beasts was a very crazy act.

Even the term ‘seizing food from the mouth of a tiger’ wasn’t enough to describe it.

But he had succeeded!

Although things were very dangerous, the risk he took was very worth it. The value of the gains was simply too high!

A common-grade extraordinary gene chain, an elite-grade genetic armament that was a long sword that he could use!

It wasn’t too much to say that his gains were priceless!

(As expected of me! The man destined to become the pillar of support for humanity!)
