Chapter 197: Pursuit and Undeserved Calamity Disaster

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The tunnel was not destroyed.

This time, Lu Ming did not take too many supplies—it was just a month’s worth of rations for himself.

Compared to the supplies in the warehouse, this was just a drop in the bucket, and no one would probably notice that anything was missing from the warehouse.

And a month later, this tunnel would definitely still be useful.

However, Lu Ming could not stay here for the time being.

Lu had to be cautious, in case someone discovered the tunnel and followed it to his doorstep. Lu Ming would become a sitting duck.

He temporarily left the supplies here and ventured out, preparing to find a safe hiding place.

“I need a place that doesn’t draw attention, somewhere that doesn’t look like it has any opportunities.”

“It’s best if it’s a place that others have already plundered.”

And there were many of such places in Flame City.

The countless towering skyscrapers had maximized the use of space, and this area was once the slums of Flame City.

There were naturally not many opportunities in the slums.

Lu Ming chose a tall building near the city gate, on the 232nd floor. He connected the two rooms and created a space big enough for him to cultivate Body Forging techniques.

“This should be enough.”

After moving the supplies back to his hiding place, it was already morning.

After eating, he took a short nap. When Lu Ming opened his eyes again, it was already the afternoon of the 188th day of the Black Mist Calendar.

While cultivating the Body Forging technique, Lu Ming adjusted his future training plan.

“Cheng Cheng and Wei Lan are not around, so daily cultivation is forced to stop.”

“However, the Body Forging technique can continue.”

Doing so made Lu Ming’s attribute acquisition slightly slower, but not much.

Compared to the upgrade in the Void Realm and the change in the system, Lu Ming felt that this was an acceptable trade-off.

“Therefore, I only hope that everything will be stable and peaceful from now on.”

The situation in Flame City was definitely not stable and peaceful.

There were fights and deaths happening all the time.

But Lu Ming had some insights into how to find a place of tranquility amid the chaos.

It boiled down to six words.

Accumulate more supplies, don’t look around.

Accumulating supplies meant having sufficient reserves and reducing the frequency of going out, or not going out at all!

Not looking around meant not being curious!

No matter how chaotic it was outside and how many people passed by, as long as they didn’t cross Lu Ming’s mental alert line, it had nothing to do with him. Why were they fighting? What did the outcome of the battle matter?

These were not the questions someone seeking tranquility needed to ponder.

In any case, Lu Ming, who fully adhered to the six-word maxim, did enjoy ten days of peace.

However, on the 198th day of the Black Mist Calendar, trouble came knocking at the door.

On this day, Lu Ming was cultivating the Body Forging technique.

However, he suddenly heard a huge explosion from the outside world.

Without a doubt, there was another fight outside… Moreover, from the sound, the commotion was not small. It was probably another battle between Spirit Realm experts.

Following the six words, Lu Ming stopped the Body Forging technique and restrained his aura. He minded his own business and waited for the situation to calm down.

Unexpectedly, the sound of fighting was getting closer and closer…

Soon, the tall building shook violently. The huge roar shook the entire building several times. The dust from above the ceiling fell onto Lu Ming’s head, making him look disheveled and dirty.

Before Lu Ming could recover from the shaking of the building, he heard another sound outside the window!

“Apelo, how dare you snatch something from our Divine Dao Alliance! You’re dead meat today!”

“The rest of you, enter the building and search! The other children of the Black Feather Tribe have all hidden in the nearby buildings!”

“Capture them all and kill them all! I, Li De, will send your Black Feather Tribe on your last journey today!”

However, Apelo did not say a word and continued to retreat while fighting.

Under Apelo’s pull, he and Li De quickly distanced themselves, but more footsteps came from downstairs.

This made Lu Ming sigh deeply.

“Troublesome.”

What was an undeserved calamity?

This was called an undeserved calamity.

You guys fight your battles, and Lu Ming mind his own business.

Unfortunately, the overall situation was indeed not good. Many villains did not understand Lu Ming’s aversion to conflict—this was one of those times.

Now, the members of the Divine Dao Alliance were searching the building.

While Lu Ming was not their target, if they discovered his presence, they would likely attack without hesitation.

In any case, Lu Ming felt that these people from the Divine Dao Alliance were quite overbearing and there was no reasoning with them.

Lu Ming could not be bothered to reason with them.

He looked at his supplies reserves—still more than half left.

After taking some high-energy food, Lu Ming quietly made his way out, planning to evade the search team temporarily and return later when the situation calmed down.

Lu Ming had confidence in his concealment ability.

Although his level was low, the inherent breath-concealing effect of his Self-Limitation state made him as inconspicuous as a roadside stone.

But it was either bad luck or that Lu Ming had underestimated the variety of abilities possessed by the superhumans of the world.

There were countless superhumans in the Black Mist Zone, each with unique superpowers, and some unique races had innate racial abilities….

In the end, Lu Ming was inconspicuous, but he was not completely invisible and had escaped into the void. If someone really wanted to find him, there were many ways in the Black Mist Zone!

At this moment, just as Lu Ming was leaving the building, a group of the Divine Dao Alliance members stormed into the building downstairs.

Among them was a peculiar intelligent creature with a tall, thin body and three eyes.

Despite its weak strength, it belonged to a unique race—the Three-Eyed Tribe. People of this race were born with three eyes, with the third eye possessing functions like “super vision,” “heat vision,” and “penetrating vision.”

It could be seen that his third eye moved slightly, and it quickly took in everything within the building.

“It’s right here!”

“Other than the three Black Feather Tribe members, there’s another person!”

As soon as the three-eyed man finished speaking, the leader, a Physique Realm expert, immediately roared, “Kill them all!”

They had no intention to discern whether Lu Ming was an enemy or not.

After all, they had the advantage in numbers and strength. Currently, the Divine Dao Alliance in Flame City was dominant. When they encountered outsiders, they usually slaughtered them without a second thought.

A total of more than ten Physique Realm experts took large strides and rushed in various directions, chasing their respective targets—on average, four Physique Realm experts were attacking one target.

Moreover, there would be backup on the way!

This was clearly not a low-level operation.

The speed of a Physique Realm expert was incredibly fast.

Just as Lu Ming had barely walked a hundred meters out of the door, a massive rumbling sound erupted from below.

When he turned to look behind him, he saw the floor cracking open, and right after that, a guy with a triangular head, green all over, resembling a humanoid mantis, had appeared behind Lu Ming!

This made Lu Ming furrow his brow, “Wait a minute, friend, don’t attack just yet. Give me a chance to talk!”

The mantis-like individual drew his two sabers and roared, “Die!”

“And by the way, I can’t understand a word you’re saying!”

Lu Ming had been trying to learn the common language lately, but with so little time and slow progress, he could not communicate fluently with others.

In this urgent situation, Lu Ming, in his haste, used Chinese, and it was perfectly reasonable that the other person could not understand.

As he saw the sharp sabers coming at him, the sharp saber qi had already caused goosebumps on Lu Ming’s skin.

This made Lu Ming’s gaze instantly darken.

“You bunch of idiots, why do you always have to push me?!”
