The man who appeared in front of Lu Ming had a baby face and exquisite facial features, making him appear young.
His full head of silver hair did not indicate old age, but rather a unique hair color.
He stood at around 1.8 meters tall, with a physique similar to that of a human. Overall, he looked like a punk among humans…
Lu Ming could not discern this man’s race, but his close resemblance did create a slight favorable impression in Lu Ming’s mind.
But not much… really not much….
There was a saying that the environment could change a person.
The overall environment in the Black Mist Zone was chaotic and sinister, and Lu Ming did not want to resort to violence, but given the circ.u.mstances, he often had to use force to solve the problems.
At this moment, this silver-haired man said that he had no ill intentions towards Lu Ming.
Did Lu Ming believe him?
Definitely not… and he could not believe it either.
Even before the apocalypse, Lu Ming knew that bad people would not admit they were bad people. Even a fool would not call himself a fool.
Not to mention in a post-apocalyptic world where order had been overturned.
Waving his hand gently, Lu Ming sighed,
“I’m sorry, I don’t believe you.”
“I will have to ask you to die quickly. I’m in a hurry.”
As soon as he said that, the fist force dragons had already swarmed forward, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as if they were about to tear the silver-haired man into pieces.
However, an unexpected scene occurred that Lu Ming had not antic.i.p.ated.
The silver-haired man just smiled bitterly and said, “Alright, you’ll understand soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light emanated from his body.
This faint light was like a purifying light, shining on the fist force dragons and instantly purifying the fist power dragons completely!
He effortlessly neutralized Lu Ming’s micro-level explosive punch!
And the fleeting aura on his body made Lu Ming furrow his brow.
Without any further action, Lu Ming simply nodded and said, “This time, 1 believe you.”
“Because there’s no need for a Spirit Realm expert to tell me so much…”
The law of the jungle prevailed in the Black Mist Zone.
The strong oppressed the weak, it was only natural.
And a Spirit Realm expert did not need to say so much to someone relatively weaker; this already demonstrated his sincerity.
Yes, this silver-haired man was a Spirit Realm expert!
Seeing that Lu Ming had already guessed his strength, The silver-haired man smiled and said, “You’re not going to fight me this time?”
However, he did not see fear in Lu Ming’s eyes… Instead, he saw a black light slowly emanating from Lu Ming’s eyes…
The silver-haired man’s smile instantly disappeared.
“There’s really no need to fight me.”
He seemed to know that Lu Ming was preparing to activate the Void Realm and seemed to understand the power of the Void Realm.
Lu Ming shook his head slightly,”There’s nothing wrong with being cautious.”
The silver-haired man sighed, “Alright.”
Without looking at Lu Ming, he took the initiative to bypa.s.s Lu Ming and approached the bodies of the members of the Divine Dao Alliance.
Bending down and searching through the relatively clean pile of corpses, the silver-haired man spoke,
“At present, the Divine Dao Alliance is powerful within Flame City, with nearly twenty Spirit Realm experts wreaking havoc in the city, unstoppable wherever they go.”
“However, their main target is the restrictions in the Imperial City District. Killing is not their goal. Their goal is to seek wealth. The master of the array formation in the Divine Dao Alliance has been working on it, and made progress yesterday.”
After saying this, the silver-haired man suddenly cheered like a child.
“I found it!”
He turned around and spread his hands, displaying an item in front of Lu Ming.
It was a golden round sphere with intricate patterns of unknown purpose on it.
“This is the key to unlocking the restrictions in the Imperial City District created by the array formation master of the Divine Dao Alliance.”
With that said, the silver-haired man smiled and added, “But we took it from them.”
This made Lu Ming come to a realization, “Are you in cahoots with the Black Feather Tribe member, Apelo?”
The silver-haired man shook his head and said, “It’s just a temporary cooperative relationship.”
Lu Ming nodded in understanding and did not ask further.
After summarizing, Lu Ming finally understood the root cause of this battle.
The Divine Dao Alliance had created the key to enter the Imperial City District, but it had been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the enemy faction. This was the source of today’s unexpected calamity.
As for the details, Lu Ming did not ask further and did not care.
He just watched as the silver-haired man, who was overjoyed with the key, slowly walked away.
He was about to leave.
Find another place to continue farming his attributes.
Unexpectedly, the silver-haired man stood up and looked at Lu Ming, saying, “Where are you planning to go?”
Lu Ming frowned, “It’s none of your business.”
The silver-haired man smiled, “Indeed, it’s none of my business, but this thing is considered your spoils of war. I can’t help but feel a little apologetic if I just take it away.”
He waved the key in his hand and said to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming did not want to be involved in these troublesome matters.
He simply and generously said, “It’s a gift for you.”
This made the silver-haired man chuckle, “You’re quite an interesting person. Do you know how valuable this thing is? With it, you can enter the Imperial City District ahead of others and explore the opportunities inside.”
Lu Ming could not be bothered to say another word.
Lu Ming quickly walked downstairs and reached the entrance of the building when he saw the silver-haired man again.
He then heard the silver-haired man say, “1 just checked your temporary residence. You have plenty of food in there, and there are few signs of you going out. I guess you’ve been stuck in Flame City, right? After all, the exit of the ruins has been controlled by the Divine Dao Alliance, and you obviously aren’t one of them.”
The silver-haired man’s words made Lu Ming frown.
I don’t mean to pry, but what exactly are you up to? Can you give me a straight answer?”
A Spirit Realm expert was nagging in his ear, but he did not have any hostility.
This left Lu Ming puzzled about the silver-haired man’s motives.
The silver-haired man’s expression turned serious.
“Would you believe me if 1 said that I cherish talent?”
“I do. And then?”
“It’s very dangerous for you to be out there on your own. I can provide you with a safe place. Well, I can’t say that it’s absolutely safe, but at least it’s much safer than your place.”
Lu Ming was silent. After a moment, he said, “What’s the price? What price do 1 have to pay?”
The silver-haired man laughed, “Your friendship, what do you think?”
After thinking for a long time, Lu Ming nodded slightly.
“Lu Ming.”
“Roda.”
For Lu Ming, he could not say whether he could trust Roda, but at the very least, Roda had not shown any hostility towards him.
If he wanted to attack him, he could have done it already; there was no need for these roundabout tactics.
That’s why Lu Ming felt that taking a chance and going with him would not be too risky.
As for Roda, he did find Lu Ming interesting.
“Micro-level Explosive Fist?”
“Yes.”
“It’s unimaginable… It’s unimaginable that someone would have the patience to cultivate a Mortal Realm Source Power Skill to such an extent… Moreover, if I’m not wrong, your Source Power Armor is also at the micro-level, right?”
“Hmph.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. you’re a genius… How old are you this year?”
“Twenty-six.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Roda let out a long sigh.
Lu Ming’s strength did not have anything particularly outstanding – probably at level three or level four of the Physique Realm. For his age, it was not an impressive achievement.
But two micro-level source power techniques were quite terrifying.
Lu Ming was also deep in thought.
This Roda was quite knowledgeable..
