Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 697 - 370: Time Acceleration

Lu Yu stared at the "ordinary" house not far away for a long time.

He turned and moved quickly, changing directions several times, yet he couldn't shake off the house following him. As soon as he turned his head, he could see the ordinary single-story house.

Lu Yu's expression changed slightly, and he stopped walking, casually grabbing and crushing the wall beside him.

Whoosh~ The rubble, under immense force, crashed toward the house at supersonic speed.

Boom! The stone struck the door, shattered, yet the door remained unmoved, as if all the impact had disappeared into thin air.

However, the shattered stone also proved that the force on the stone did exist.

Lu Yu's expression grew serious; this house was too strange.

He tried to walk towards the house, took two steps, stopped, hesitated for a moment, and gave up the idea of forcefully confronting it, turning to leave.

Anyway, as long as he didn't get close, let the house follow if it wants!

Walking a while, Lu Yu would glance back occasionally, hoping it hadn't caught up.

Unfortunately, things never go as he wished.

"Another problem!" Lu Yu felt a bit frustrated; since entering the shattered world, nothing had gone smoothly for him.

The third time he looked back at the house, Lu Yu noticed a slight change; the distance between him and the house seemed shorter.

Lu Yu stopped and carefully recalled, realizing the reduced distance between him and the house was approximately two steps.

Meaning, he could only get closer to the house, not farther away from it.

Suddenly, Lu Yu's mind was alarmed; if he moved back to avoid an attack from the front, would that count as getting closer to the house?

He felt it was highly likely it would count, which meant the distance between him and the house would continue to shorten until he was "swallowed" by it.

"What to do?" Lu Yu stopped in place, no longer moving, and pondered a strategy.

Although he could dodge sideways during attacks to maintain distance from the house, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't have to move back each time.

If he encountered a danger blocking his path forward that he couldn't bypass, it would become a situation of wolves in front and tigers behind.

No matter how he chose, it would lead to something disastrous.

Especially when unsure of the strange abilities of that uncanny house, approaching rashly would be a dead end.

"Damn!" After thinking it over, Lu Yu still couldn't figure out a way to resolve the current predicament.

Now, the best way would be to let someone investigate the house's circumstances before making a decision.

With this in mind, Lu Yu started to act, searching the ruins of the city for traces of others.

Bam! A dark figure burst from the shadows, attacking Lu Yu; Lu Yu only noticed its figure the moment it sprung up.

However, given the disparity in strength and speed, even if Lu Yu noticed it when it sprung up, he could deal with it calmly.

He instinctively sidestepped and evaded, releasing a gust from his palm to push it away.

After the undead's failed attack, it quickly turned around upon landing, attempting to clash with Lu Yu head-on.

Lu Yu glanced around, picked up a decayed plaque from the ground, and smashed it hard onto the undead.

Boom! The undead was slammed heavily into the ground, its chest completely fused with the ground.

The plaque in Lu Yu's hand also broke and shattered, leaving only a small part.

Glancing at the undead on the ground and then at the house, Lu Yu conceived a plan.

A demon python tendon from his backpack appeared in Lu Yu's hand. After taking it out, the Spiritual Qi within dissipated quickly, losing its spiritual aura, turning into an ordinary animal tendon. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lu Yu grabbed one end of the tendon and swung it forcefully; the power transmitted through the tendon, tightly wrapping around the undead that had just gotten up.

He jerked hard, using the tendon to swing the undead, throwing it towards the eerie house behind.

The end of the tendon released from his hand, and the undead's body slammed heavily against the house window.

Lu Yu watched the house and the undead intently without blinking.

The undead tore apart the tendon, which had lost its Spiritual Qi and turned into a regular animal tendon, lifted its head towards Lu Yu, and took two steps.

Suddenly, it found it couldn't move forward anymore, and a massive amount of black hair appeared on its body.

The source of the black hair was the eerie house behind it; from the house's door and windows, a large amount of black hair surged out, tightly binding its hands, feet, and body, enveloping its head, gradually dragging it inside the door.

Lu Yu watched as the undead disappeared into the house, and then the door and windows closed, obscuring the view inside.

He was a bit curious if the oil-black shadow had died.

Logically, the trait of the undead is immortality, but in this situation, Lu Yu couldn't determine if the immortal trait was still effective.

There are basically no records documenting battles between the eerie entities in the shattered world.

Lu Yu frowned, helplessly turning away to continue walking, hoping to encounter someone who knows how to deal with the house.

He hadn't walked far before Lu Yu stopped. He looked towards a patch of darkness on the left.

Owen walked out of the darkness, glanced at the house not far away, and, with a tinge of pity in his eyes, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect your luck to be so bad."

"In this ruined city, one of the most dangerous uncanny entities is the house behind you. No one has ever successfully escaped its pursuit; those it targets never survive."

Lu Yu remained silent, his expression unchanged, seemingly unconcerned by Owen's words of no survivors.
