Chapter 68: The Burial Mound Card In This World!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Why were they here?

Oh, right. Zhang Xiaopang mentioned the mission before!

Lu Ming recalled.

Never 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!

However…

Their situation did not look too good?

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

"Help!"

Seeing 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.

"Hehe."

Lu Ming peered from afar and quickly hid.

What a joke!

A 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!

How did they provoke this kind of thing?!

"I'm done for."

Zhang Xiaopang's heart was turning cold.

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

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

What a joke!

This was a powerful three-star beast!

"I wouldn't have accepted this mission if I have known this."

Zhang 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?

Sure enough.

That place was the nest of the Flame Mole Beast!

They had just finished surveying the place when they b.u.mped into the beast…

"Hehe," Xia Yu sneered coldly.

He very much wanted to kick this d.a.m.n fatty in front of him.

He must be kidding!

Where was the promised one-star mission…

It was actually a two-star mission!

Forget 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!

Who would have known that…

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

Were his brains damaged?!

Was he not courting death?!

Although 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!

"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."

He remembered this from the textbooks.

"Brother, how can there be water in this place!"

Zhang Xiaopang felt despair. "We can't even find a cesspit here!"

Behind them…

The Flame Mole Beast was closing in.

Roar!

Roar!

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

Swoos.h.!.+

Xia 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.

Pfft—

There was a burst of icy cold frost.

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

However…

It only lasted for a moment.

With the flames surging, all the frost melted instantly.

"I'm running out of energy."

Xia Yu's face was ghastly pale.

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

"L-let me try?"

Zhang Xiaopang was trembling.

"Shut up!"

Xia Yu glared at him harshly.

He remembered.

This beast was not that fearsome initially!

Zhang 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!

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

Xia Yu really could not figure it out.

What illusion did Zhang Xiaopang cast?!

Anyway.

He definitely could not let him take action.

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

"Flee."

Xia Yu gritted his teeth.

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

Zhang 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 a.s.s**** at any point in time. He was wailing loudly as he ran.

"Are they in such a miserable state?"

Lu Ming's head popped out from behind a small hill nearby.

The 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.

Tsk tsk…

Fortunately, he did not agree to it!

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

He was right!

He 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…

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

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

Of course.

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

Did he have a halo of 'trouble'?

Lu Ming felt amused.

Well…

From this distance…

His gaze swept across the beast.

Click!

The card machine in front of him was ready.

From the hilltop, he aimed at the beast from afar. As soon as Lu Ming pressed the b.u.t.ton, this brand new card would be released!

He would wait a little while more…

Lu Ming calculated the distance.

Initially, he had only hoped to test the effect of the card. Now, he could even take the chance to a.s.sess its power!

"I hope that you won't disappoint me."

Lu Ming took a deep breath.

He found some weeds and gra.s.s to camouflage the card machine.

Well…

The beast was closing in.

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

In 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!

Well…

The distance was right!

Click!

Lu Ming pressed the start b.u.t.ton without any hesitation.

Buzz—

The energy was stimulated.

The card in the machine dissipated without a sound.

At the same time…

The bright and sunny sky seemingly darkened.

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

It was just that…

It was not able to react in time.

Swoos.h.!.+

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

"Roar!"

The beast was on its guard.

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

Click!

Click!

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

Whoos.h.!.+

Whoos.h.!.+

The surrounding aura was chilling to the bones.

Bang!

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

"Whoosh.. Whoosh…"

The beast began to feel uneasy.

"Be careful!"

Xia Yu pulled Zhang Xiaopang and retreated carefully.

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

One 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!

They could not draw the attention of the enemy!

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

Click!

Click!

The ground collapsed.

Bang!

Another palm emerged from the ground.

Both 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.

Its face was sinister and cold.

The entire body was ice blue.

It exuded a chilly and sinister aura all over.

"Roar!"

The beast could not take it anymore.

It 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!

"Roar!"

There was a roar of fury.

They were making their moves!

The Xia Yu duo was terrified.

Thereafter…

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

Bam!

It had actually been slapped by the living creature!

It was as if it was swatting a fly.

"Waahh… Oo…"

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

To h.e.l.l with this… What kind of living creature was this?

"Run!"

There was no hesitation.

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

Shus.h.!.+

Xia Yu and Zhang Xiaopang took off and ran.

At this very moment…

That 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.

"Roar!"

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

Then…

It actually spun around and fled away.

He had won!!!

Lu Ming was ecstatic.

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

That was a Flame Mole Beast!

No 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?

Lu Ming felt thrilled at the thought of it.

There was no other way.

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

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

But now…

He could resume his tracks with this new card!

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

"Go."

Lu Ming instructed the warrior to chase after the target.

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

Could it fight the Flame Mole Beast head-on!

Buzz—

The Burial Mound Warrior received the order.

At the moment.

Half 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.

Afterward…

He maintained his current state.

Lu Ming broke out in a sweat.

Was his order not clear enough?

However, 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.

Yes.

He could only move the upper half of his body!

Lu Ming was expressionless.

d.a.m.n!

This was actually an 'authentic' Burial Mound Warrior!
