nChapter 68: The Burial Mound Card In This World!

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nWhy were they here?

nOh, right. Zhang Xiaopang mentioned the mission before!

nLu Ming recalled.

nNever did he expect that the mission mentioned by Zhang Xiaopang would be carried out today. He also did not expect to encounter them here in such a big place like Qing Ming City!

nHowever…

nTheir situation did not look too good?

nSeemingly, a scary and ferocious beast was chasing after them.

n“Help!”

nSeeing that no one else was in the vicinity, the Zhang Xiaopang duo immediately screamed loudly for help, his stubby arms flailed in the air continuously.

n“Hehe.”

nLu Ming peered from afar and quickly hid.

nWhat a joke!

nA Flame Mole Beast was chasing after them. It was a savage and ferocious beast with an explosive temper! Its entire body was surging with flames. In its adult form, it would be at a three-star level!

nHow did they provoke this kind of thing?!

n“I’m done for.”

nZhang Xiaopang’s heart was turning cold.

nHe watched as the black figure a distance away disappeared within a flash.

nIn fact, he had encountered many cultivators along the way. However, they simply ran off when they saw the Flame Mole Beast chasing them.

nWhat a joke!

nThis was a powerful three-star beast!

n“I wouldn’t have accepted this mission if I have known this.”

nZhang Xiaopang felt regretful. He should have known… He only needed to survey the terrain and create an illusion of it to receive such a generous reward. Wasn’t it too good to be true?

nSure enough.

nThat place was the nest of the Flame Mole Beast!

nThey had just finished surveying the place when they bumped into the beast…

n“Hehe,” Xia Yu sneered coldly.

nHe very much wanted to kick this damn fatty in front of him.

nHe must be kidding!

nWhere was the promised one-star mission…

nIt was actually a two-star mission!

nForget it. They were considered smart to have made use of some special items to lure the beast away before surveying the place. They could leave now!

nWho would have known that…

nThis guy had actually stolen one of its eggs when he left!

nWere his brains damaged?!

nWas he not courting death?!

nAlthough he had already thrown the egg away along the way, the enraged beast still chased after them. It had already been at their heels for a few miles!

n“Find a place with water!” Xia Yu said calmly. “Our bodies have been tainted by the smell of that egg… As long as we remove it, the beast won’t be able to chase us.”

nHe remembered this from the textbooks.

n“Brother, how can there be water in this place!”

nZhang Xiaopang felt despair. “We can’t even find a cesspit here!”

nBehind them…

nThe Flame Mole Beast was closing in.

nRoar!

nRoar!

nThey could feel the surging flames and scorching heat approaching their bodies.

nSwoosh!

nXia Yu suddenly spun around and drew an arrow. In a moment, a Frostbolt formed by the condensation of energy shot out rapidly, piercing the foot of the beast.

nPfft—

nThere was a burst of icy cold frost.

nThe Frostbolt transformed into frost and imprisoned the beast on the spot.

nHowever…

nIt only lasted for a moment.

nWith the flames surging, all the frost melted instantly.

n“I’m running out of energy.”

nXia Yu’s face was ghastly pale.

nThe Frostbolt was not of much use. It could only buy them time.

n“L-let me try?”

nZhang Xiaopang was trembling.

n“Shut up!”

nXia Yu glared at him harshly.

nHe remembered.

nThis beast was not that fearsome initially!

nZhang Xiaopang wanted to cast an illusion to appease the beast but he did not know what happened, the beast had suddenly turned savage and fierce instead!

nIts breathing was heavy and rapid and both its eyes were in blood-color.

nXia Yu really could not figure it out.

nWhat illusion did Zhang Xiaopang cast?!

nAnyway.

nHe definitely could not let him take action.

nIf he did not take action, everyone still had a chance to live. If he were to take action, they might really be dead meat!

n“Flee.”

nXia Yu gritted his teeth.

nHis gaze was firm. It was not sure what he was thinking of.

nZhang Xiaopang could only take off with his stubby legs and dashed like a madman, as he sensed the scorching heat behind him that would seemingly pierce through his ass**** at any point in time. He was wailing loudly as he ran.

n…

n“Are they in such a miserable state?”

nLu Ming’s head popped out from behind a small hill nearby.

nThe place where he was standing earlier was too conspicuous. Hence, he moved to a good place for hiding. He then saw the situation of the Zhang Xiaopang duo.

nTsk tsk…

nFortunately, he did not agree to it!

nHe knew that nothing good would happen if he were to follow this lad.

nHe was right!

nHe rejected the mission not because he shunned thirty thousand yuan for being too little or the danger of the wilderness but because of Zhang Xiaopang…

nBased on his understanding of Zhang Xiaopang, he was definitely the type that could stir up huge trouble!

nEven if everything was fine, he would cause something bad to happen!

nOf course.

nSometimes, it was not Zhang Xiaopang’s fault. However, it was very strange. Whenever he was around, there was no peace. It was ‘amazing’.

nDid he have a halo of ‘trouble’?

nLu Ming felt amused.

nWell…

nFrom this distance…

nHis gaze swept across the beast.

nClick!

nThe card machine in front of him was ready.

nFrom the hilltop, he aimed at the beast from afar. As soon as Lu Ming pressed the button, this brand new card would be released!

nHe would wait a little while more…

nLu Ming calculated the distance.

nInitially, he had only hoped to test the effect of the card. Now, he could even take the chance to assess its power!

n“I hope that you won’t disappoint me.”

nLu Ming took a deep breath.

nHe found some weeds and grass to camouflage the card machine.

nWell…

nThe beast was closing in.

nLu Ming focused his gaze. Only the charging beast was in his view now.

nIn his opinion, no matter how lousy this three-star card was, he would be able to save them even if ten thousand firm and bouncy jelly-like little soldiers were summoned!

nWell…

nThe distance was right!

nClick!

nLu Ming pressed the start button without any hesitation.

nBuzz—

nThe energy was stimulated.

nThe card in the machine dissipated without a sound.

nAt the same time…

nThe bright and sunny sky seemingly darkened.

nThe beast chasing after the Zhang Xiaopang duo acutely sensed that something was amiss. Its power and innate intuition gave way to an ominous feeling.

nIt was just that…

nIt was not able to react in time.

nSwoosh!

nA broken flag landed on the ground and blocked the path of the beast.

n“Roar!”

nThe beast was on its guard.

nOn the other hand, Zhang Xiaopang and Xia Yu were on tenterhooks. What was that?

nClick!

nClick!

nThat spot where the flag appeared gradually swell up and cracked open suddenly. Horrible cracks appeared and began to spread slowly.

nWhoosh!

nWhoosh!

nThe surrounding aura was chilling to the bones.

nBang!

nA sinister palm suddenly emerged from the ground. It looked ghastly.

n“Whoosh.. Whoosh…”

nThe beast began to feel uneasy.

n“Be careful!”

nXia Yu pulled Zhang Xiaopang and retreated carefully.

nIt was not that they were not going to escape. They dared not do so.

nOne of the rules of survival in the wild was to stay put when they were unclear about the situation! Some fearsome beasts loved to chase after moving living things!

nThey could not draw the attention of the enemy!

nNow, that fearsome beast had encountered this living creature that appeared out of nowhere, they had to pretend that they did not exist…

nClick!

nClick!

nThe ground collapsed.

nBang!

nAnother palm emerged from the ground.

nBoth hands were out. They paused for a moment before slamming the ground hard. Instantly, the ground collapsed and the living creature under the ground revealed its true appearance.

nIts face was sinister and cold.

nThe entire body was ice blue.

nIt exuded a chilly and sinister aura all over.

n“Roar!”

nThe beast could not take it anymore.

nIt felt increasingly uneasy. When the shoulders of the underground living creature appeared, it could no longer hold itself back. With flames surging on its body, it bit it immediately!

n“Roar!”

nThere was a roar of fury.

nThey were making their moves!

nThe Xia Yu duo was terrified.

nThereafter…

nThe duo instinctively turned back and was instantly scared out of their mind. They witnessed an unbelievable scene. That powerful and fearsome beast…

nBam!

nIt had actually been slapped by the living creature!

nIt was as if it was swatting a fly.

n“Waahh… Oo…”

nThe Flame Mole Beast actually gave out a wail similar to that of a dog.

nTo hell with this… What kind of living creature was this?

n“Run!”

nThere was no hesitation.

nIf they did not flee at this point in time, they would not be able to escape!

nShush!

nXia Yu and Zhang Xiaopang took off and ran.

nAt this very moment…

nThat beast crawled up in pain. Although it was hurting all over, it was not gravely injured. However, it was staring at the living creature before him, looking obviously guarded and fearful.

n“Roar!”

nIt gave out a deep and low roar, seemingly a confrontation.

nThen…

nIt actually spun around and fled away.

nHe had won!!!

nLu Ming was ecstatic.

nIt was a three-star top-notch card, indeed! It actually won the fight!

nThat was a Flame Mole Beast!

nNo matter how powerful it was, that was a true-blue three-star! Did it mean that he also possessed the capability to compete with a three-star cultivator now?

nLu Ming felt thrilled at the thought of it.

nThere was no other way.

nHe had been harmed too long by the Bulls Card and Demolition Card!

nHe had even almost forgotten that having a tough fight face-to-face should be the doings of a man!

nBut now…

nHe could resume his tracks with this new card!

nHe really possessed the combat ability to fight everything face-to-face!

n“Go.”

nLu Ming instructed the warrior to chase after the target.

nHe wanted to find out the true combat ability of this card, how powerful it was!

nCould it fight the Flame Mole Beast head-on!

nBuzz—

nThe Burial Mound Warrior received the order.

nAt the moment.

nHalf his body had already appeared, looking extremely powerful and strong. After receiving Lu Ming’s orders, it flailed both his arms rampantly and looked as if he was going to give chase.

nAfterward…

nHe maintained his current state.

nLu Ming broke out in a sweat.

nWas his order not clear enough?

nHowever, when he was about to instruct it again, he realized that it was not because the warrior did not want to obey his orders. It was because his lower body was stuck in the ground.

nYes.

nHe could only move the upper half of his body!

nLu Ming was expressionless.

nDamn!

nThis was actually an ‘authentic’ Burial Mound Warrior!

n
