nIn the suburbs.

nSadness was etched on Lu Ming face as he looked at the big brother in front of him.

nThe Burial Mound Warrior was very strong and burly.

nWith his ice blue aura, he looked more like real, like human and not a blue jelly. He was very powerful and could compete with a three-star fearsome beast!

nLu Ming was very satisfied with all of this.

nThe only thing that he was dissatisfied with was… Why did he only have half a body?!

nWhere could they place the flag?!

nWhere could they build the burial mound?!

nHe could only stay put in one place!

nIt could not move!

nOld brother, are you playing the game of ‘Tower Defense’?

nOr ‘Plants vs. Zombies’?!

nYou’re a Burial Mound Warrior! You’re an attacker and not the those things that goes ‘biubiubiu’ and shoot out some unknown substance from the mouth! Have you misunderstood yourself?

n“Sigh.”

nLu Ming gave a deep sigh.

nYou are a three-star top-notch card!

nAre you able to explain to this to those ‘silicon brothers’ before your era?!

nAt the very least, they can run errands and move about. Why are your legs broken? Half your body is stuck in the burial mound?!

nThis is not scientific!

nIf three-star was so frugal on resources…

nWhat about four-star?

nWould there only be a silicon stick left?

nHahahaha.

nLu Ming was expressionless.

n“Big brother, do you know anything else?”

nLu Ming lowered his head and looked at him.

nAs half of his body was under the ground, the Burial Mound Warrior’s head could only see a little more of what was below his waist.

nHe was very short!

nThe Burial Mound Warrior had a puzzled expression.

nObviously…

nBeside some basic attack, defense and fighting orders, he did not understand other things. Seemingly, his intelligence was worse than before.

n“Alright.”

nLu Ming clutched his head.

nAfter the Burial Mound Card went through optimization, everything else was gone! Only the most basic violent attack and combat power were left!

n“I don’t know if I can dig it out.”

nLu Ming was a little curious.

nHence, he moved his hands and wanted to dig. However, he realized that he could not do so at all.

n“Well…

nCan you dig yourself out?”

nLu Ming said in a serious manner.

nThe Burial Mound Warrior was confused.

nObviously…

nHe did not understand what ‘dig himself out’ meant.

n“Attack the ground below here,”

nLu Ming ordered.

nThe Burial Mound Warrior understood this time. He then attacked the ground. His body trembled, as if he had suffered grave injuries.

n“Stop!”

nLu Ming had some understanding now.

nHe took a closer look at the ground below the Burial Mound Warrior. It was full of cracks, seemingly already fused into one body with the Burial Mound Warrior. It was impossible to dig it out by normal means!

nPerhaps…

nThis was part of his body.

n“Forget it. Let’s take a look at how long it will last.”

nLu Ming analyzed.

nAfter ten minutes, the Burial Mound Warrior dissipated into energy and the flag was also gone with the wind.

nOnly the crumbled ground was left.

n“The timing is fine.”

nLu Ming had a realization in his heart.

nAlthough it had various flaws, this was still a strong and powerful three-star top-notch card!

nPerhaps…

nHe should treat it as a Defense Card!

nWith this card, at the very least, he could stop a three-star cultivator!

n“Right now…

nI am considered half a three-star too.”

nLu Ming felt more confident now.

nAlthough there were some accidents, everything was still alright.

n“I should go back,” said Lu Ming.

nIt was just that…

nAt this moment.

nFrom the direction of the suburbs, some fog was rapidly spreading. The sky, which was originally bright and clear, actually turned misty due to the sudden engulfment by the fog.

nBang!

nGroups of fearsome beasts were dashing across the land.

n“Did something happen?”

nLu Ming looked to a distance and his eyes instantly squinted.

nBuzz—

nHis cell phone suddenly vibrated.

n“My respected cultivators, good day. A small fog has appeared in the northern part of the suburbs. The fearsome beasts were frightened. In order to assure your safety, please leave the wilderness as soon as possible…”

nHehe.

nLu Ming pursed his lips.

nTo hell with the fog!

nDid your family’s fog look like that?

nThis almost matched the haze in the capital of his past life!

nHowever…

nLu Ming was not interested in what exactly had happened.

nHe was an idle and boring person.

nAs a Card Creator, Lu Ming was very clear about his own standing. At one sight, he knew that this was a dangerous matter and he would certainly not get involved!

nRetreat!

nLu Ming put away his stuff and prepared to leave.

nIt was just that…

nAt this very moment, something surged and converged at the deepest part of the fog.

nThere seemed to be something…

nSparkling.

nThis was…

nLu Ming was startled.

n“Brother Cat?”

nLu Ming entered his Sea of Consciousness. The black cat that was always in a deep slumber was already awake. Its gaze seemed to be transmigrating space and landing in a certain place.

nWell…

nLu Ming had already seen it just now.

nThis was the scene transmitted to him by the black cat!

nThis black cat, which was more idle than him, actually started to move?

nIt wanted that thing?

nIt was just that…

nLu Ming frowned.

nThat fog was growing rapidly. Something must have happened.

nAlso, those announcements… Under normal circumstances, to Lu Ming, that meant – We are going to fight now. All unrelated individuals, please leave as soon as possible. We don’t want to cause unintentional injuries!

nWas he going to go in at this point in time?

nLu Ming had hunch that he would be sending his head…

nAnd as if he had bought himself six pairs of shoes that increased his speed.

n“Can you protect me? Are you sure that there is no danger?” Lu Ming asked.

nThe black cat nodded, its little eyes full of pride, seemingly not seeing anyone else as a threat.

nLu Ming was speechless.

nIt was the time to make a choice.

nFirst option, trust Brother Cat and dash into the fog decisively. Grab the item that he wanted and leave. Second option, leave this place immediately.

n“Let me think…”

nLu Ming clutched his head.

nWell…

nThis was the first time that Brother Cat had made a request.

nIt could very likely break the ice between the two of them. Additionally, he was able to progress so quickly in his ability now mostly owing to the Lighting Original Card.

nIn addition…

nBrother Cat promised to protect him. He should be safe and fine.

nAlright.

nLu Ming sighed.

nThis was the first time that the black cat asked him for something. Could he not satisfy it? Could he still consider himself a man if he could not even satisfy a cat?

nHe would do it!

nHe would give it a shot!

n“Wait for a while”

nLu Ming made his decision.

nUnder the black cat’s uncanny gaze, Lu Ming squatted on the hilltop, took out the Card Creating Pen and created a Burial Mound Card on the spot.

nDid he look down that much on its promise?

n“Cough… Just in case… Just in case…”

nLooking at the dissatisfied look in the black cat’s eyes, Little Lu Ming gave a wry laugh.

nAlthough the black cat had promised him, this concerned his personal safety and he had to be more prepared. Erm… There should not be anymore problem now!

nOne three-star Burial Mound Card!

nOne four-star Swordsman Card!

nIn theory, these were enough to dominate Qing Ming City.

nLet’s go!

nLu Ming took a deep breath.

nMustering the courage akin to entering the execution ground, he stepped into the black fog.

nThe thought transmitted to him by black cat was like following directions. He traversed in the black fog like a shadow. In the vagueness, other cultivators appeared.

nLu Ming moved quietly and no one noticed him.

nThis fog… seemed to possess the powerful effect and energy of a Visual Bulwark.

n“I’m almost there!”

nLu Ming calculated the time in his heart.

nHe came here to test the card this time and carried a heavy Card Release Machine in his backpack. It was certainly not an easy feat to travel such a distance.

nThe fog spread even more.

nHis visibility worsened.

nThey seemed to have arrived at the deepest part of the fog.

nBang!

nBang!

nHe could hear deafening sounds in the surroundings. However, due to the Energy Visual Bulwark, there was no other commotion, and no one knew what energy there was!

nHowever, the sounds…

nLu Ming was felt fear and trepidation.

nThankfully…

nUnder the black cat’s guidance, he avoided everyone quietly.

nWell…

nThey had arrived.

nLu Ming seemed to have reached the inside of a cave situated in a hill.

nThere was already very little fog now. Lu Ming found the sparkling item on a stone table. It was inside a wooden box.

nIt was actually a small bell.

nIt was a little old.

nA little ancient…

n“Is this the thing…”

nLu Ming was curious.

nHe wanted to pick it up.

nShush!

nThat bell actually disappeared in the flash of a moment.

nWhen Lu Ming recovered from his senses, the box was already empty.

nAlright!

nLu Ming entered his Sea of Consciousness to take a look.

nTrue enough, that small bell had already appeared in Brother Cat’s hands.

nSeemingly noticing the lascivious look in Lu Ming’s eyes, the black cat thought of the last time that it was tricked. Hence, it very cleverly wore the bell on its neck.

nLu Ming was speechless.

nCat… Cat bell?

nIt was going to wear?!

nWhat kind of appalling action was this?

nForget it.

nLu Ming shook his head.

nSince he had already gotten hold of the item, he should retreat quickly.

nConstant booming noises could be heard from outside. It was very dangerous. At the thought of this, Lu Ming hurried and left the cave. However, at this moment, a figure walked towards him.

nIn the fog.

nA strong and powerful figure appeared.

nTheir shocking energy could actually permeate the thick fog and affect this place!

nIt was horrifying!

n“Damn it!”

nLu Ming’s expression changed drastically.

nFour-star!

nIt was a four-star powerful figure!

nDamn it!

nLu Ming secretly cursed.

nHe had already taken out the Swordsman Card and was holding it in his hands. Staring at that figure, he would shoot the card at him without any hesitation the moment he entered.

nThis was his only chance!

nSecret ambush!

nHe was coming!

nThree!

nTwo!

nOne!

nLu Ming’s was prepared to cast his Swordsman Card.

nAt this moment, in the air, a familiar little paw appeared before him.

n“Brother Cat is taking action!”

nLu Ming felt more at ease.

nHe was a little curious. He did not know whether Brother Cat could beat a four-star cultivator.

nIt was just that…

nJust as he thought that Brother Cat would take action…

nBam!

nThat little paw stretched out gently and directly pressed on Lu Ming’s head.

nBuzz—

nA surge of energy dissipated.

nStruck by darkness, Lu Ming fainted immediately.

n…

nAt this very moment…

nThe strong and powerful figure stepped into the cave.

nHe furrowed his brows. It was strange… Clearly, he had sensed an odd aura here earlier…

nWas it an illusion?

nHe then moved forward to take a look. The item in the wooden box was already gone.

n“Damn you, bastards!”

nThat man was enraged.

nA horrible aura engulfed the place.

nBang!

nBang!

nDeafening noises could be heard coming from outside.

n“Hehe.”

nHis expression was menacing. “Who dares to steal my belongings? You’re courting death!”

n
