Chapter 251: 248 Demon Cave
On the high-speed train headed to Lingnan.
Throughout the journey, Zhao Kai Ming was restless, nervously looking around.
Everyone seemed like a bad guy to him, and he suspected that each one could have been sent by Jiang Yuexing to capture them.

To protect himself, he somehow got a hold of a face mask and put on sunglasses as well.
Not only did he gear himself up, but he also handed a mask and sunglasses to Lu Wu for him to wear too.
“Do we really need to do this?”
“Yes, absolutely!”
Zhao Kai Ming nodded fiercely, “My intuition tells me that we’ve probably been exposed, so we must hide ourselves well.”
“It’s no problem for me to hide, but how can it and him hide?”
Lu Wu said, covering his head and pointing to Little Skeleton who was, for once, looking at a phone.
And Han Han, who couldn’t sit still on the train, constantly asking Little Skeleton to hit him.
Zhao Kai Ming was stunned at the sight and then lowered his head to contemplate, “This is a serious problem, I wonder if anyone in the carriage brought a blanket!”
With that, the man was actually preparing to buy a blanket from other passengers in the carriage.
Lu Wu had to pull him down and cover his face.
“Alright, stop fussing. I’ve told you, my rich woman won’t hurt us. If you’re so scared, you can just leave me and run.”
“No way, I must protect you!”
Zhao Kai Ming thumped his chest, “Xiao Lu, rest assured, with Uncle Zhao here, no one can harm you, Uncle Zhao guarantees it!”
The more he said, the paler Lu Wu’s face became.
Lu Wu now really wanted to thank Zhao Kai Ming’s entire family.
Didn’t he have any idea what kind of luck he’s had?
Seeing Lu Wu’s pale face, Zhao Kai Ming thought Lu Wu had no confidence in him and was about to swear an oath, but fortunately, Lu Wu quickly stopped him.
Otherwise, this old man might utter some vow to ensure Lu Wu’s safety.
Lu Wu might very well end up dead because of a careless statement.
“I believe, I believe, I believe! Isn’t that enough?”
“Believe in your Uncle Zhao, and you’re set. I’m solid!”
Zhao Kai Ming patted his chest so hard he nearly knocked the wind out of himself.
After he finished, he leaned in and cautiously asked Lu Wu, “Xiao Lu, can you contact your dad?”
“My dad? Who knows where that old man is squatting now; he said he wanted to create a paradise and hasn’t contacted me for a long time. I nearly forgot I had a dad until you mentioned it!”
Lu Wu said, picking up his phone and making a call to that unreliable old man in his family.
Zhao Kai Ming’s eyes lit up at the sight.
There was hope, being able to contact him meant there was hope.
But the light in Zhao Kai Ming’s eyes quickly dimmed; Lu Wu’s call didn’t go through.
“He’s not picking up. No telling what that old man is up to. I’ll leave him a message; he’ll get back to me when he sees it.”
Lu Wu said and then started to search for news related to himself on his phone.
He took screenshots of all the news where he stood out and sent them to the old man, then let it be.
According to Lu Wu’s understanding of the old man, it would take at least three to four days to get a reply.
Seeing there was no hope of contacting Lu Haikong, Zhao Kai Ming began to hedge and ask Lu Wu if his dad had left him any good items.
The subject weighed heavily on Lu Wu, deeply profound.
“Uncle Zhao, you know, our family is just ordinary; my dad is a normal middle-aged man.
The reason I’ve got to where I am today is all down to my own efforts.
As for my dad, although he couldn’t offer material support, he silently encouraged and supported me from behind, and that, to me, is the greatest gift.”
In a nutshell.
My awesomeness is all down to Lu Wu himself and has nothing to do with anyone else.
Zhao Kai Ming heard this and glanced at the little goldfish in Lu Wu’s arms, saying nothing.
He didn’t know how to comment anymore.
After that, Zhao Kai Ming stopped thinking about contacting Lu Haikong.
His mind was occupied with how to outwit Lu Wu.
Zhao Kai Ming felt that if Lu Wu could be fooled by Lu Haikong for almost twenty years, there must be something off in his head. If he found the right tactic, he could surely trick Lu Wu into running around with him.
Forget the Demon Cave, it was a wretched place where they could be accidentally discovered by Jiang Yuexing’s people and captured.
So, for the rest of the journey.
Zhao Kai Ming racked his brain trying to outsmart Lu Wu.
It was all to no avail. In the end, Lu Wu and company arrived smoothly in Lingnan.
Once in Lingnan, the old man volunteered to find a car and was ready to drive Lu Wu to make a getaway.
Once Lu Wu got in the car, he turned on the navigation.
Zhao Kai Ming had no choice but to drive with a grimace, taking Lu Wu towards the Demon Cave.
On the way to the Demon Cave, Lu Wu started discussing with Zhao Kai Ming how to find Lin Jianying.
“We two strangers just arrived here and it’s not easy to find someone in unfamiliar territory. So, Uncle Zhao, you have friends here in the Demon Cave, right?
Why don’t you call your friend over, I’ll hire him, let him bring some more people. A hundred points a day for helping me search for someone. If they find the person, a reward of 10,000 points. What do you think of this idea?”
After Lu Wu finished speaking, he evaluated his own suggestion: “A reward of 10,000 points seems a bit stingy for me, Lu Wu. Let’s make it a direct reward of 100,000 points for finding the person.”
As soon as these words were out, Zhao Kai Ming almost crashed the car.
“How much? A hundred thousand!!!”
“Yeah, a hundred thousand points, roughly the equivalent of two days’ earnings for me. I can afford it!”
With that statement, Zhao Kai Ming felt a particularly sour pang in his heart.
Back when Lu Wu made a bet with Jiang Beifeng, Old Zhang had thought about selling everything he owned to help Lu Wu gather the stakes.
Now, looking at Lu Wu, casually tossing around tens of thousands like it was nothing.
Damn, is this the world of the rich?
By now, Zhao Kai Ming was tempted too. If he could find Lin Jianying, wouldn’t he, Old Zhao, suddenly become rich?
But when he thought about his current situation, and then about Old Zhang who had just won ten million not long ago, Zhao Kai Ming felt that these tens of thousands weren’t that appealing anymore.
Nevertheless, Zhao Kai Ming helped Lu Wu contact someone.
By now, he pretty much figured that unless Lu Wu found Lin Jianying, he was not likely to flee. Since that was the case, Uncle Zhao thought he better help Lu Wu in the search.
Even if they only found a corpse, if they found him, there would be hope of helping Lu Wu make an escape.
So, through Li Mingrui’s connections, Zhao Kai Ming found people at the Demon Cave Camp.
Zhao Kai Ming or, it should be said, Li Mingrui’s efficiency was quite good.
Before Lu Wu and the others even reached the Demon Cave, Li Mingrui had already found people to help Lu Wu.
Not only that, but Li Mingrui also suggested they revise the reward announcement, suggesting to start with tens of thousands might not be a good idea, as it is uncertain if they could find the person and it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
After all, that place is the Demon Cave Secret Realm.
It’s a secret realm not controlled by humans, where the rules are chaotic, and carelessly flaunting wealth might attract trouble.
Therefore, after arriving in the Demon Cave area.
Lu Wu posted the reward notice, hanging it at the entrance of the Demon Cave Camp. It called for anyone with information on Lin Jianying, offering a reward of 5 to 50 points.
Finding the person would be rewarded with 500 points.
No matter how Lu Wu looked at the notice, it seemed a bit unreliable.
“Isn’t this a little too low? Who would be interested for just 500 points?”
Zhao Kai Ming rolled his eyes, not wishing to deal with a nouveau riche.
And as it turned out, the allure of 500 points was absolutely astounding.
Almost everyone who entered or left the Demon Cave Camp would take a look at the notice, and ninety-five percent took out their mobile phones to snap a picture of its content.
Moreover, that very day people came forward with information.
And not just a few people.
There were more than a hundred.
While among them were some who were just trying to take advantage of the situation, there were still many who came with actual information.
With the help of these people’s information, Lu Wu roughly pieced together the activities of Old Lin in the Demon Cave.
Among them was a critical piece of information.
Someone had witnessed Wu Yong appearing in the Fallen Demon Valley within the Demon Cave Secret Realm.
With this information in hand, Lu Wu’s group was invigorated.
They immediately dragged Zhao Kai Ming and followed the informants straight to Fallen Demon Valley.
Zhao Kai Ming was also excited this time.
“If we find Wu Yong, maybe we can find Lin Jianying too.”
And it turned out the old man was quite optimistic.
But once they got to Fallen Demon Valley, the old man’s optimism faded.
Zhao Kai Ming looked around and, not seeing Wu Yong, turned his head in confusion and asked, “Didn’t you say Wu Yong was here?”
At that moment, the informant’s mouth curved into a smirk: “Indeed, Wu Yong is not here, but someone else is!”
With that said, the informant clapped his hands, and then seven or eight people emerged with more than a dozen Summoned Beasts in tow.
Lu Wu and Zhao Kai Ming both froze at the sight of the emerging group and beasts.
The shock on their faces pleased the informant, “Surprised, huh? Thought you could rob…”
The word “rob” hadn’t even been fully uttered.
The informant was smacked down by Lu Wu with a slap.
Then, Little Skeleton, little goldfish, and Han all sprang into action. Without Zhao Kai Ming lifting a finger, this group that, at best, were just Bosses was knocked down by Lu Wu.
“A bunch of guys, not even having a leader among them, dare to try robbing us. Have their brains gone bad?”
After dealing with the group, Lu Wu dusted himself off and even took out a towel to wipe Little Skeleton clean.
Wiping the bloodstains off Little Skeleton and casually patting its head, he kicked Han away as he tried to get close for a wipe, and called to Zhao Kai Ming, “Let’s go, let’s head back!
What a wasted trip!”
Zhao Kai Ming had not yet replied when someone shamelessly interjected, “A wasted trip? That won’t do. Since you’re here, there’s no need to go back, just stay!”
Almost simultaneously, a ferocious beastly roar sounded, and a terrifying Wind Blade, more than a dozen meters long, slashed towards Lu Wu and his group…
