Chapter 196: Entering the City
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although the Flame City ruins were vast, in summary, it could be divided into three main areas.
First was the Door to the ruins and the Square. Although the square was spacious, it was only a drop in the ocean compared to the size of the ruins.
Second was Flame City.
As the residence of the remaining members of the Flame Clan back then, the size and magnificence of Flame City could be imagined!
Third was the forest behind Flame City.
The forest had the largest area, and it contained various natural materials and treasures that had long gone extinct in the outside world. However, compared to the prosperous Flame City, it seemed relatively barren.
Lu Ming did not enter the ruins for wealth. Considering the vast forest, it might have been a better choice for him.
However, Lu Ming chose Flame City instead.
There was only one reason for this.
This was because in Lu Ming’s opinion, the city was safer than the forest.
Flame City had numerous buildings, and more buildings meant limited visibility.
Lu Ming’s level was very low to begin with, and his aura was even less obvious in his Self-Limitation State. The only way to find Lu Ming was through visual observation.
With this in mind, the complex terrain of Flame City seemed like the perfect hiding place for Lu Ming!
“There’s also the factor of food and water.”
Lu Ming did not bring any supplies, but others did.
With more opportunities in the city, there would be more people. With more people, it would be more convenient for Lu Ming to gather supplies.
‘That’s right.’
Now that he was in a dilemma, Lu Ming could not help but do some bad things. Everything was for survival. When it came to survival, Lu Ming was not as stubborn.
“Moreover, I’m not doing anything bad. This is called revenge!”
He could not forget that the members from the Divine Dao Alliance had planned to search him and take his money. They struck first, so his counterattack was justified, right?
Climbing up the towering walls of Flame City, the massive cityscape unfolded before Lu Ming’s eyes.
Endless as far as the eye can see…
If one had to compare, the Flame City in front of Lu Ming was probably hundreds of times larger than Nanxiang!
In the city, the well-defined houses of the Flame Clan were densely packed, and lined up in an orderly manner.
The houses were of various sizes, standalone structures, and towering skyscrapers.
There were also passageways and corridor links connecting the high-rise buildings, making the entire city completely three-dimensional.
The huge area and the three-dimensional space utilization allowed this place to be explored, but there were shockingly many places to hide. This was also the reason why countless superhumans had explored less than a tenth of the city after a month!
And, this was just the outer city.
The inner city area was relatively small, but mostly consisted of extraordinary structures. The buildings were much stronger than those in the outer city, and there were countless deadly traps that greatly slowed down the exploration. Further in was the Imperial City District!
Until now, the door to the Imperial City District had not been breached by the explorers. What dangers and treasures lay inside remained a mystery to everyone!
“The saying ‘strewn with gold’ is not an exaggeration.”
Even Lu Ming, who was not greedy, could not help but be amazed by the opportunities hidden here.
Then, he thought of the Divine Dao Alliance, which wanted to monopolize these benefits…
With over a dozen Spirit Realm experts… Well, according to Lu Ming’s views, these few insignificant individuals probably would not be able to monopolize the opportunities.
Therefore, it was evident that the Divine Dao Alliance’s strength would surely suffer a backlash! This also meant that the situation in Flame City would be unimaginably chaotic in the future!
Lu Ming believed he should try to avoid getting involved in this…
“First, I’ll choose a safe and concealed location… No, first, I need to find supplies!”
First, he would gather enough food and water, then find a safe place to cultivate in seclusion. Let the chaos outside continue while Lu Ming would be done cultivating in peace.
Of course, this idea was somewhat idealistic—after all, trouble was not something he sought; it often came to him.
“But for now, this is the best course of action.”
Standing on the city wall and hiding most of his body in the arrow battlement, Lu Ming observed attentively and quickly found the trace he was looking for.
“It should be in that area.”
Unlike typical explorers who often operated in small groups without any structure, the Divine Dao Alliance, formerly known as the Divine Dao Gang, was the second-largest gang in Archean City.
Their rules were not strict, but at the very least, they were more organized than random wanderers. The people of Meijixi were also intelligent, and their methods of exploring the ruins were clearly different from the lone wanderers.
Like an army, Meijixi divided his subordinates into several systems.
There were the main exploration team, the supporting squads, the special forces, and the suicide team. Of course, there was no lack of logistics teams.
After the battle the day before, for the time being, the Divine Dao Alliance dominated Flame City. The Divine Dao Alliance naturally would not miss such a good opportunity.
They dispatched many exploration teams, along with bringing in a large amount of logistics. It was clear they were prepared for a prolonged battle within Flame City.
At this moment, Lu Ming was searching for the Divine Dao Alliance’s material storage warehouse!
It was quite conspicuous…
Because it could be easily found by following the wheel tracks.
Even if there were no wheel tracks, the commotion of a large gang like the Divine Dao Gang were the focus of attention for others. Back in the business district, the Rao Clan had sold many maps and similar items, and they even thoughtfully marked the stronghold of the enemy faction…
After silently climbing down the city wall, Lu Ming officially entered Flame City.
His black robe concealed his face. At the same time, Lu Ming’s size and face under the black robe also underwent a violent change under the slight adjustment of his Self-Limitation superpower.
Coupled with the concealment effect of the Self-Limitation state, Lu Ming had successfully completed his disguise before doing his job.
Relying on the complex architecture of the city, Lu Ming quickly approached a location that held the Divine Dao Alliance’s supplies.
He observed carefully and searched meticulously.
Very soon, Lu Ming had a plan.
“I don’t know how many experts are inside, but there’s definitely no Spirit Realm expert.”
“As for the high level Physique Realm, they’re highly unlikely to be here.”
A high level Physique Realm expert was more suitable to be the main force for exploration and not guarding a warehouse.
“In short, the warehouse’s defensive forces are sufficient to deal with ordinary thieves… but not enough to handle me!”
In his Desperate State, Lu Ming could completely erupt with strength comparable to the Level 7 of the Physique Realm. This strength could not be underestimated in the Black Mist Zone.
Moreover, the Divine Dao Alliance did not have just one warehouse… Every warehouse had Physique Realm Level 7 and above cultivators guarding them… Wasn’t that a joke?
Therefore, forcibly taking everything was a viable option.
However, Lu Ming absolutely would not do that…
There was no need to fight to the death for some food and water.
He walked into a building and started digging in the basement of this building.
Lu Ming’s fingers were like iron, digging through the ground as if he was digging tofu.
There was no need to cause much commotion at all. In just two hours, a tunnel had already been formed.
One end of the tunnel was connected to an inconspicuous ordinary house that had been looted many times. The other end was accurately opened directly below the material storage warehouse under Lu Ming’s precise calibration.
Coupled with Lu Ming’s stealth in the Self-Limitation state…
This was a perfect theft!
This was because no one would have thought that an expert like Lu Ming would go to such lengths to dig a tunnel for food and drinks.
Wasn’t that too much trouble?
Why not use this time to find opportunities elsewhere?
Two hours later, looking at the mountain of food and water in front of him, Lu Ming wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled in satisfaction, “Perfect!”
