Chapter 76: The Most Powerful Scene of the Burial Mound Card!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Ming’s head was hurting a little.
It was true.
Especially after he found out that the person before him was called Chu Xiao.
“The Cloud Explorer Chu Xiao?”
Lu Ming gave a deep sigh.
“Okay.”
Chu Xiao’s body was still shaking.
Lu Ming was speechless.
He glanced at Chu Xiao’s pale face. The latter was even coughing out blood from time to time. As the cause of his suffering, Lu Ming could only keep silent.
“Are you alright?”
Lu Ming looked at his weak and feeble body.
“I don’t know.”
Chu Xiao sighed. “I was ambushed and suffered some repercussions. Of course, the main problem is that I don’t dare to use my energy at all!
I have been targeted now…
If I use my energy, they will immediately discover me.
If I can leave the city…”
Chu Xiao felt a little regretful.
As long as he could leave the downtown and the geographical scope of the investigations, he would be able to use his energy to recover. Leaving this place would not be a problem then!
Downtown…
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.
“Wait a while.”
Lu Ming phoned Zhang Xiaopang.
Zhang Xiaopang was more well-informed of the situation of Qing Ming City than him. In particular, he had often purchased some weird and forbidden stuff…
True enough.
Zhang Xiaopang provided him with an address that police hardly frequented.
“I’ll head there myself.”
Chu Xiao stood up resiliently.
He walked towards the door. After a few meters, his legs gave way and he slumped to the floor.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Alright, he had better do it himself.
He helped Chu Xiao up. After thinking, he took out Zhang Xiaopang’s cap that he put away previously and put it on Chu Xiao. They then headed to the destination.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth.
“This way.
There is a monitoring system over there.
Turn at that corner,” said Chu Xiao in a low voice.
Although he could not use his energy, as a highly skilled thief, his experience and senses were put to good use at such times.
At the very least, they did not face many problems hiding from these low-ranking law enforcers.
Very soon…
Lu Ming brought him to the destination – Qing Ming City Cemetery.
This place was located at the border of the city, along the Third Ring Road. They would be considered out of the city if they climbed and crossed the wall of the cemetery. Most importantly…
This place was deserted at night.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Ming helped him to the far end of the cemetery as they climbed over the wall.
“Thank you.”
Chu Xiao was filled with grat.i.tude.
If he was alone, perhaps he could still engage in an intense fight. However, he might not win and could possibly die. Now, he managed to leave easily.
It was all thanks to Lu Yan’s younger brother!
He had a sense of justice!
Wit!
Courage!
“I owe you a favor,” Chu Xiao said seriously.
“No, no, you don’t.”
Lu Ming felt a little guilty.
“Let me think…”
Chu Xiao paused for moment before pa.s.sing him a card. “Since you’re a Card Creator, this may be of use to you.”
“Huh?”
Lu Ming glanced at it. It was a one-star card.
“I have sealed my own ability inside.
It’s very simple.
But it’s also the foundation for my fame.
You can find out more about my past after you go back home. You should be able to infer something,” Chu Xiao said embarra.s.singly. “Sorry, I only have this now. You can contact me at any point in time if you need anything in the future.”
Upon finis.h.i.+ng his words…
Chu Xiao left.
Buzz—
His right hand waved.
Layers of translucent and thin films appeared in the air.
They surrounded Chu Xiao like a humongous cube, encircling him in the center. Gradually, they merged and Chu Xiao’s figure disappeared just like that…
He became invisible?!
Lu Ming was appalled.
It was no wonder that Chu Xiao had the confidence that he could leave the city!
It was no wonder that he could become a famous and highly skilled thief!
Cloaking skill…
Which man had not dreamed of it during their adolescence?
Tsk…
“I’ll go back first.”
Lu Ming dared not remain there any longer.
He did not think much of it when he was helping Chu Xiao get away, because he was focused and vigilant in averting all the surveillance systems. Now, as he was returning…
Why did it feel so spooky?
Oh.
This was a cemetery.
Lu Ming was immediately on his guard.
He proceeded to return via the previous route he had taken. Just as he was about to leave, five to six black shadows entered.
Clas.h.!.+
Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.
“Yes?”
Obviously, those people had also noticed Lu Ming.
“He’s alone?”
Those people laughed.
They could sense the aura around Lu Ming.
Well…
It was very weak.
“Brother.
It seems that you have just completed a deal.”
“Hehe.
Did you get a good price? Or did you buy something good?”
Those people laughed and said, “Hand it over.”
Lu Ming was silent.
He had heard from Zhang Xiaopang that many people made use of this channel to buy things that were prohibited in the city or special items of low quality.
Therefore…
Many people made use of this channel.
If an individual encountered a team, it would typically be a case of thieves stealing from a thief.
This was the norm.
Of course.
According to the rules, they hardly killed anyone as they were afraid of attracting trouble or the police’s attention. Hence, he would be safe as long as he handed over the item abidingly.
“You’re not talking?”
“Hehe. Brother, hand over the item obediently.”
Those people laughed sinisterly. “Otherwise, we can only search your body.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
In the darkness.
The moonlight was dim.
Everyone could not see each other’s faces.
Separated by a distance, everyone looked like a shadow.
Suddenly…
Lu Ming asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “You… Whose customers are you?”
Obviously, those people were puzzled.
What customer?
Could he be meeting someone here and this was the secret code?
“Hehe. Brother, the person that you’re waiting for did not come. You better hand over the item obediently.”
They were feeling a little impatient now.
The few of them looked at each other.
This person was so uncooperative. It looked like they had to s.n.a.t.c.h the items from him.
However…
Just as this moment…
They did not notice that a card in Lu Ming’s hands that he was hiding behind his back, had quietly dissipated. Lu Ming turned his head and glanced towards a grave.
“B-buddy. Are these people your friends?”
Lu Ming’s voice was hoa.r.s.e and sinister.
These people were obviously stunned. Before they could react, they looked into the direction where Lu Ming was glancing. They then saw a hand suddenly stretching out from the grave that had been in a deep, long silence.
Click!
The ground collapsed.
A burly figure was gradually crawling out from the grave.
Under the moonlight.
That ghastly pale and frosted complexion looked extremely terrifying.
!!!
The faces of the gang turned pale.
Grave…
Something was crawling out of the grave?
“Ghost?!”
“Did the corpse come to life?!!”
Terrified and spooked, they turned around and ran.
You must be kidding?!
They had never seen such a horrifying scene in their life.
Bang!
Someone was so frightened that he fell to the ground. He crawled towards the exit desperately. When he turned around, the figure who shouted ‘buddy’ seemed to be staring at him with interest.
“It isn’t your… friend?”
The hoa.r.s.e, deep and low voice sounded uncannily frightening at this moment.
Gulp!
That man swallowed his saliva and actually rolled away.
“Ghost!”
His miserable cry was deafening in the cemetery.
Lu Ming was speechless.
The outcome was more powerful than I imagined!
Tsk tsk… It seemed that the cemetery was where the Burial Mound Warrior belonged!
Lu Ming waved his hands.
Buzz—
The Burial Mound Warrior dissipated into energy.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Ming predicted that those lads might have drawn the attention of other people when they fled frantically earlier. Hence, he also left the place.
The cemetery resumed its silence again.
After a long time…
Under the moonlight.
A shadow suddenly emerged.
He looked at the chaos in the cemetery quizzically, and then at the spot where Lu Ming stood earlier, his gaze eventually landed on the grave where the Burial Mound Warrior had been.
He touched the tombstone.
“Buddy… ”
“Is that you, b-brother?”
