In Qing Ming City.
In the suburbs.
Deafening noises could be heard coming from outside.
Lu Ming kept a low profile while creating cards in Fan Ze’s mansion. In order to better repair the restrictions, he deliberately created one after another of…
Charging Cards!
Not too far in the distance.
The Burial Mound Warrior diligently soaked batches and batches of Charging Cards into the ore vein. After a period of nourishment, he then sent them by batches back to Lu Ming.
It was perfect.
Plants Restriction?
Sorry.
It did not work for Lu Ming.
“This can make up for the recent energy consumption.”
Lu Ming was very satisfied.
After purchasing the design plans for two three-star cards “Fire Whip” and “Escaping Peril” as well as the in-depth study of them, he had almost used up all the resources that he accumulated recently.
Thankfully, he had compensated for it.
…
After a long time…
Fan Ze was back.
There was a faint smell of blood…
He was injured.
Although Fan Ze had been hiding it well, Lu Ming noticed that Fan Ze’s arm looked awkward.
It seemed that something had happened.
Lu Ming understood right away.
Fan Ze was a four-star Energy Warrior, his body should be very strong. He wondered who his opponent was to be able to hurt him. But this matter had nothing to do with him.
Lu Ming tried to keep a low profile as much as possible.
At this very moment…
Fan Ze looked indifferent.
He compared the progress of the restrictions with the previous occasion. It was a lot faster this time. It seemed that Lu Ming had been working hard on repairing them.
He was very satisfied.
However, when he went to the cultivation room, he paused slightly. Eh, why was it that the ore vein seemed to look duller in color?
Was it a delusion?
This was strange.
Recently, when he looked at the sun, it was no longer green…
Therefore, he went to check the ore vein and the surrounding restrictions. He was reassured after confirming that everything was in place.
“I must pay attention to my health.”
Fan Ze sighed.
Not far away, Lu Ming was still working hard on repairing the restrictions.
Restrictions…
Fan Ze’s heart stirred slightly.
His original intention was to come back to take some items. But now that he was back, he suddenly had an idea. Lu Ming’s restrictions would be useful in hiding the aura and not to alert others in.
Perhaps, that would work?
Well…
It was worth a try!
“Lu Ming.”
Fan Ze suddenly spoke up., “Come with me outside for a while.”
“Huh?”
Lu Ming was a little puzzled.
Was anything the matter?
He had stocked up on a lot of Charging Cards and had planned to leave after repairing the restrictions. He did not expect that Fan Ze would tell him to go out with him…
Had he been discovered?
He quietly looked at the ore veins. Apart from being duller, there was no change in color!
He was very discreet.
“Hehe.”
Fan Ze smiled. “We have discovered the source of the beasts tide.”
“Oh?”
Lu Ming widened his eyes.
Beasts tide?
Source?
“There is a five-star beast deep in the suburbs.”
Fan Ze looked solemn. “Recently it was seriously injured and it needs a lot of vitality to recover. Therefore it gathered all the beasts to attack Qing Ming City! For the sake of humanity, we must exterminate that vicious beast! Only in this way can we guarantee the safety of Qing Ming City!”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn!
If not for the fact that there was no beasts tide, he would have believed his words!
Five-star beast?
The source of the beasts tide?
Hehe.
This was similar to the lies that he told Xiaobai.
“I am only a Card Creator.”
Lu Ming looked embarrassed. “I can’t be of any help.”
“Don’t underestimate yourself.”
Fan Ze patted him on the shoulder, speaking in an unquestionable tone, “There are some restrictions near the beast. You may be of some help. Once you are ready, we will set off immediately.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Fine.
He did not care if he agreed or not!
That was true. He was merely a two-star Card Creator. He had no right to object! But then again, what was Fan Ze up to?!
Perhaps he found out what happened with the ore veins and he wanted to silence him?
That could not be the case.
If he really wanted to silence him, Fan Ze could do it right here. There was no need to dupe Lu Ming to go outside or to come up with a lame excuse…
Oh.
He would go and take a look.
Lu Ming was excited. He wanted to know what Fan Ze was up to!
Hence…
He packed his belongings and left with Fan Ze.
…
In the suburbs.
In the deepest part.
The two of them treaded carefully and just when they neared one mountain range, Lu Ming could hear a faint but powerful roar.
Wow—
He walked past a cave.
Lu Ming realized that the mountain turned out to be hollow!
There was a terrifying aura within the mountain. A huge beast was being shackled in energy chains. Its fleshy wings were bloody and the chains pierced through its flesh!
The beast was trapped inside. It was covered with wounds, struggling frantically.
Bang!
Bang!
The mountain shook.
A terrifying aura kept escaping.
This was…
A five-star beast!
Crap! Five-star beast actually existed!
Lu Ming was amazed.
Not only that.
There were four cultivators that were dressed in black surrounding the five-star beast. They looked to be in control as they gripped the energy chains, in a stalemate with the beast!
The men in black…
Lu Ming grew solemn.
Why were there so many men in black in Qing Ming City?
All of them were four-star!
“Fan Ze, have you brought the stuff?”
One man in black yelled.
“How dare you bring outsiders in?”
These men in black noticed the presence of Lu Ming.
“It will be alright.”
Fan Ze looked at Lu Ming. “He is my acquaintance. He is a two-star Card Creator, an auxiliary vocation. He can cast restrictions in the surrounding areas to hide the aura!”
“You know our rules.”
There was a murderous glint in the black-robed man’s eyes.
“Don’t worry.
I know the rules.”
Fan Ze smiled sinisterly and the men in black understood right away.
Hehe.
They were put at ease.
Roar!
The five-star beast was struggling hard. A strange aura kept escaping from the mountain.
It was shocking.
They could trap the body of the beast, but they were unable to contain the aura around it. The strange aura had become richer. They felt uneasy at the changes.
“How long do you need to settle it?”
Fan Ze asked.
“Ten hours at most.”
The black-robed man who had a tight grip on the chains sounded cold and harsh.
Bang!
Bang!
The beast was struggling.
They had a death grip on the chains, steadying it.
Everyone looked exhausted. They had used all means to kill the beast. They did not expect that it still had the strength to struggle!
However…
Soon…
Looking at it this way, obviously, it could not hold on anymore.
Five-star?
So what if it was a five-star?
It was going to be killed by them!
“Lu Ming.”
Fan Ze said to Lu Ming, “Ignore them. Put up restrictions in the surroundings. Just use the same restrictions that you use for my house.”
“Okay.”
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
The men in black…
The five-star beast…
He seemed to be embroiled in something big again.
Shush!
Lu Ming stepped into the cave carefully.
Working from the entire mountain he began to create hidden Restriction Cards. This was a type of Base Card. It would slightly reduce the escape of the aura.
He ignored the cold hard stare of the men in black as well as the roars in the surroundings.
After a long time…
The basic restriction was completed.
“It’s done,” Lu Ming said earnestly.
“Not bad.”
Fan Ze was satisfied. He could feel that after laying the basic restriction, the aura released by the beast was unable to escape into the air!
Roar!
The beast was no fool. Seeing that the situation was not in favor of him, it began to struggle madly.
Bang!
Blood spurted.
Originally it was able to last for one day. But its essence and blood seemed to be draining.
“Be careful!”
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
“Hang on!”
Bang!
Everyone released their inner power and tightened their grips on the chains.
Click!
Click!
The chains were embedded in the body of the beast. There were many streaks of blood on its flesh. The beast that was already seriously injured had turned weaker and weaker.
“Hahaha!”
‘It can’t take it anymore!”
“Fool! I thought it would last until tomorrow. I did not expect it to die now. Did it really think that we are not prepared for its outburst?!”
The men in black broke out in laughter.
Done!
They could finally reap returns after working hard for dozens of days!
“The beast is after a beast…”
One of them mocked.
So what if it was powerful?
So what if it was intelligent?
The beast that had just achieved five-star fell for their schemes!
“Be ready to wrap up!”
One of them said coldly.
“Old Fan, aren’t you going to thank the little brother?”
One of them smiled.
They were clear of one thing.
If not for Lu Ming’s restriction that suddenly cut off the escape route for the beast, sealing its aura and its way to ask for help, it would not suddenly have turned so violent!
“Alright.”
Fan Ze smiled.
“Did I make any contribution?”
Lu Ming felt embarrassed. “There is no need to thank me. I am only here to assist the elders.”
Hehe.
Fan Ze simply smiled.
The expression in the other cultivators’ eyes were even colder.
He was a pitiful fellow… Did he know that… from the moment Fan Ze brought him here, his fate had been decided… Their identities must not be revealed, therefore…
He had to die!
Buzz—
Energy vibrated in Fan Ze’s hands.
He walked to stand behind Lu Ming and was ready to attack.
Suddenly…
Bang!
The earth trembled.
One of the chains that trapped the beast suddenly broke.
“What is happening?!”
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
Bang!
The beast was desperate and helpless, but it’s fighting spirits were revived. It struggled madly once again. There was a violent tremor in the chains that had originally been very sturdy!
That was because one of the chains was broken!
Roar!
The beast began to struggle.
“Be careful!”
“Damn it, why did it break?!”
“I don’t know.”
The cultivators were in a panic.
Seriously…
It was impossible to break the chains!
This was not an ordinary physical chain, but a special energy chain specifically made to kill the beast in front of them!
But, look at the outcome!
It was broken!
There was an endless supply of energy!
Fan Ze even went back to the house to bring more Energy Cards. Why would it break?!
Nobody knew.
Clang!
Clang!
The beast was struggling.
The cultivators had no time for Lu Ming. They gripped the chains tightly. Now that one chain was broken, the structure that was used to trap the beats was obviously unstable.
“Fan Ze, you should help out as well!”
One man yelled.
“Okay.”
Fan Ze gritted his teeth.
Despite the fact that his arms were bleeding, he stepped into the cave to help.
Right then…
Lu Ming clearly saw that Fan Ze’s arms were bleeding. He must have been pulling at the chain previously and another cultivator took his place as he was seriously injured.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Everyone was desperate.
Finally, the situation gradually stabilized.
The beast was seriously injured and it ran out of strength.
The cultivators breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Ming took a glance and took out a few Meltdown Cards, throwing them at the chains without anyone’s notice.
Shush!
Shush!
There were many corrosion traces on the sturdy chains.
Click!
One of the chains tightened and broke.
Bang!
The cage that trapped the beast was weakened once again.
The cultivators were dumbstruck.
Damn it!
What the hell was going on?
This specially made energy chains evolved from a five-star advanced ability. By right, it should be able to trap a five-star beginner. Or perhaps the chains were fake goods?
Roar—
The beast roared in excitement.
Bang!
It struggled madly once again.
“Hang on!”
One of them bellowed.
However, now that two of the chains of the cage were broken, it was impossible to trap the beast.
Pfft!
A man was brutally thrown out, spitting fresh blood on the ground. After that, the beast suddenly stood up, it gave a loud roar and everyone was thrown outward.
Roar—
The beast hollered.
The huge beast stood up, it expanded its bloodied fleshy wings, looking pretty majestic.
They were done for!
Everyone looked aghast.
This beast…
Had actually broken free!!!
However…
