Chapter 215: Did You Have Any Misconceptions About The Original Card?
Qing Ming City.
At the police office.
The police officers were still trying to protect the people by evacuating them.
However, at this time, they received a strange message—the building had run away, the crisis was temporarily resolved.
Everyone who saw the news was dumbfounded.
The building...
Ran away?
That thing could actually run?
...
“Qing Ming City News Report...”
“Breaking News... A building is on the run. It was last seen on the ring expressway... at a speed of more than three hundred miles. Vehicles nearby please take note!
For now, the police have been dispatched and they are trying to apprehend it as soon as possible...”
The drivers were bewildered at the news.
It was true.
They had been drivers for decades. This was the first time they heard of a building that was on the run...
What the hell was this?!
...
Somewhere.
Whoosh!
A black shadow flashed.
A driver that was speaking on the phone with his daughter-in-law looked bewildered at the black shadow in the distance. He took a while to come to his senses.
“Daughter-in-law. Have you ever seen a building that drifts?”
...
At this very moment...
Downtown.
“We should go.”
Lu Ming gazed at the distance.
The building was gone, and so were the cultivators, he must catch up with them.
With that...
Lu Ming pulled out the Original Card and stepped on it.
Bam.
The Original Card was trampled to the ground.
The Original Card looked dazed.
“You didn’t lie to me just now.”
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
It seemed that the energy of the Original Card was not enough to fly him around.
The Original Card was silent.
It resisted the urge to self-destruct.
“What do you think... If the Original Card is being tempered by the sinister aura, would it be easier to fly me around?”
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
“Yes.” The Original Card gave a simple reply.
“Hmm.
Lu Ming understood now.
If so, they must not let the python go!
His energy level was more than nine thousand points. If he absorbed the sinister aura of the python, he would be able to break through to ten thousand points. Perhaps he could temper the Original Card as well!
He must make good use of such an opportunity!
Hence...
He chased after the building.
...
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
On the ring expressway.
A huge figure moved about in the traffic.
It was huge and was running at a fast speed. It ran a small half circle on the ring expressway before it took an exit and dashed toward the suburbs.
“What is the matter with this building?”
“I don’t know.”
“However, I made some analysis from its route.”
“Tell me.”
“This python may be walking in accordance with the navigation...”
Shush!
The entire world suddenly quietened down.
Navigation...
It was no wonder it had been rushing down Third Ring Road and the expressway. It turns out that it did not know the way and was following a GPS. In that case, its itinerary seemed reasonable.
However...
What was its purpose?!
Where was it going?
There must be a destination for the GPS.
Even if it was a coordinate!
“Let’s go! Let’s keep up with it to check.”
One man narrowed his eyes. “Perhaps we will have unexpected returns!”
...
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The building fled while it was followed by many cultivators.
It was too huge and eye-catching. There was no way it could run away. From the moment it was fused with the building, its end was destined...
However...
Even so...
The building kept running, unwilling to give up.
“Chase after it!”
“It can’t run anymore!”
“Hehe, these spirit bodies are so stupid. They only know how to flee...”
...
At this very moment...
“What is it waiting for?”
Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.
As the only cultivator who had been in close range combat with this thing, he was very certain that as a spirit body, it was cleverer than many people.
Its original plan was to fool everyone and breakthrough to a seven-star!
However, due to the interference of Lu Ming and the Original Card, and the significant loss of its sinister aura, it had no other choice but to integrate with the building in advance, entering the six-star stage...
Why?
If it was bent on escaping, wasn’t it better to escape as a python?
Integration!
It was simply a way to increase its energy!
Since that was the case, why did it have to integrate with the building?
Wasn’t it better to integrate with something else?
He could not figure it out!
Moreover, after the integration, from the direction that the building was moving in, it seemed that it had a purpose. But what was it?!
The huge python...
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
He felt that there was a conspiracy going on.
But at this time, the building slowed down drastically. After heading to a certain place in the suburbs, it stopped suddenly and decided on a location, with no intention to move. The large contingent that was chasing after the building stopped as well.
“It has stopped.”
“Haha, it can run no more. Get ready to attack!”
Everyone was excited.
However...
Lu Ming looked at the familiar scene and location...
Oh.
Crap!
Wasn’t this Fan Ze’s mansion that he had demolished?!
Clang!
The building fell on the platform.
A strange and mysterious aura vibrated and the building integrated with the soil, as a surge of energy gushed deep underground.
Buzz—
A faint aura emerged.
The building seemed to be in a weakened state, but it wrapped its energy around the entire building.
“Haha, it is getting weaker.”
“Let’s go!”
“It is unnecessary to attack it by force from the outside. Let’s go in to look for it and bring it away!
Everyone was elated.
“Is this a trap?”
Some people were reminded of how the python fooled four-star cultivators inside to kill them.
“It’s okay.”
A five-star cultivator sneered. “If it is still the python from before, we have to be wary. But right now... hehe, it is not left with much energy.”
“You’re right.”
Everyone finally understood.
The python from before was too terrifying!
But after integrating with the building, although it had broken through to a six-star, the cold and sinister aura of the python was significantly weakened. It was no longer the same as before!
Since that was the case, there was no need to be fearful of it.
Even if it was a trap, the python would not be able to kill them!
It was too weak!
“Let’s go!”
Shush!
Everyone rushed into the building.
...
“These five-star cultivators will certainly die.”
Lu Ming suddenly spoke.
The Original Card was confused.
Now that the python was in a very weak state, it had no way to fight with the fully armed five-star cultivators.
Especially—
Many of them were the so-called spirit body hunters!
As a spirit body, it knew very well of the ability of spirit body hunters. With the help of their equipment, it was easy to skip the levels to capture spirit bodies...
“Haha.”
Lu Ming merely smiled. “Did you really think that the guy chose this place randomly?”
He understood everything when he saw the familiar scene.
No wonder it wanted to come here!
The reason why this guy came here was because it sensed the ore veins that were here. It could make use of the ore veins to cultivate and to break through the shackles!
The ore veins and the cultivators were its opportunities to breakthrough.
It still wanted...
To break through to a seven-star!
All along, the goal of the python had not changed!
Devouring four-star and five-star cultivators, integrating with the building, devouring the ore veins... These plans had always been on his mind!
In whichever order!
“Amazing!”
Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
It seemed that there were different species of pythons.
Although he did not know what kind of species this python belonged to, apparently it was cunning and scheming, and unusually vicious. It was unlike the swamp eels that were simple and pure and would do whatever they were told...
“Unfortunately, we can’t go in.”
Lu Ming felt a little regretful.
Previously the Original Card had been too harsh on it. The python was willing to abandon the basement to throw them out...
“What a fool. You don’t have to take the wool from one sheep... If you went to every room and absorbed the sinister aura silently, the python would be clueless even when its sinister aura was being sucked dry. Isn’t that better?”
Lu Ming expected better from the card.
The Original Card looked at him, remaining silent.
Nonsense!
He was left with no choice then!
There were too many four-star Pokémon Masters wandering outside...
He did not dare to run about.
He would be courting death!
“It seems that the fight for the spirit body has nothing to do with us now.”
Lu Ming felt a little regretful.
He walked to the building door and pushed on it automatically.
Zzz —
The door was opened.
Well?!
Lu Ming widened his eyes.
It was open?!
Alright.
He merely pushed it and the door was opened. The python did not push them away. If he was willing, Lu Ming could enter now...
Eh?
Lu Ming was somewhat surprised.
It was true.
When it was downtown, in order to get rid of Lu Ming, the python abandoned the basement that it had tempered, but over here, it allowed Lu Ming to enter...
“It seems that he is eying you.”
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
Interesting.
Perhaps in the python’s plan, it was necessary to devour the Original Card to break through to seven-star?!
With an ore vein that no one knew about as its supplement... This was the reason why the python wanted to kill everyone. This was what gave it confidence!
However...
What it did not know was that it was not the only one who knew about the ore vein.
...
“This is becoming more and more interesting, isn’t that so?”
Lu Ming sneered coldly.
Shush!
Among the others who entered the building...
All around them...
Invisible energy suddenly appeared and the entire building was locked!
The situation was the same as when the four-star cultivators were being locked inside as soon as they entered the building. This time, the python wanted to capture all the five-star cultivators in one go!
Ss——
Ss——
Cold and sinister auras emerged.
Lu Ming touched the ground.
He could clearly sense that the aura of the python was constantly penetrating and seeping into the ground until it touched the ore vein that had been quiet for a long time...
“It is increasing its energy through the ore vein.”
Lu Ming finally understood.
The entire building covered the ore veins.
On top of that, after connecting to the ore veins, a surge of energy kept rushing in, the abilities of the python kept transforming and it turned into sinister aura...
In the end...
The python grew stronger.
Buzz—
Buzz—
The building was filled with fog.
Those who entered the building felt that something was amiss.
“Damn it!”
“Why did the aura of the python become so strong?”
“I don’t know!”
“F-find it!”
“Lock in on its aura. Catch it as soon as possible!”
“We can’t lock it in... damn it, the strange and mysterious aura is interfering with us.”
The cultivators were alarmed.
They finally realized that the situation was not to their favor. The python did not appear, but the blockade and its aura were getting stronger.
...
At this very moment... in one of the rooms.
Lu Ming held the Original Card as he dug at the ground madly.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Very soon, there was a pothole on the ground.
The Original Card was silent.
It was doubtful.
Was it an Original Card?
After he was with Lu Ming, it was being treated as a Sword Embryo, a converter, and now it was being used as a hoe. But he never once treated it as an Original Card...
“This is too slow.”
Lu Ming pondered. “Can you try turning like a drilling machine?”
The Original Card was silent.
Excuse me, do you have any misconceptions about the Original Card?
“Wait a while.”
Lu Ming simply downloaded some mechanical principles or fan blades related content for the Original Card. It had no other choice but to run through them.
Oh.
The rotation of the fan blades...
Oh.
Clearing up the soil...
It was not as hard as one imagined.
Hence...
The Original Card understood and dove straight into the ground.
Buzz—
Buzz—
A tunnel was formed underground.
Lu Ming was speechless.
He looked at the mechanical principles and realized that he did not understand them at all...
Crap.
Right now, the Original Card had better comprehension skills than him?
However...
He came to his senses right away. Perhaps the Original Card specialized in mining.
Well...
It must be it.
Everyone had their own strengths.
Xiaobai was good at studying cards and Xiao-Xiaobai was good at cultivation, while his Original Card was good in mining. As for him, he had unrivaled looks...
There was nothing wrong with that!
Bang!
Bang!
There was a passageway underground.
Lu Ming went along the passageway into Fan Ze’s mansion.
Over there...
A cold sinister aura filled the air. Apparently, the python was turning the energy in the ore vein to increase its energy level!
Oo...
Lu Ming squinted.
It would do him no good to interrupt the python. But if he cultivated here...
Hence...
The Original Card squatted near the ore vein quietly.
Over there.
The python worked hard to absorb energy from the ore veins, converting them into sinister cold energy, however, part of it was absorbed by the Original Card...
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The Original Card burst madly with lights.
However...
Lu Ming was still displeased.
Although the cultivation speed of the Original Card had reached its limit, it could not keep up with the absorption rate of the python. After all, it was a six-star...
Your absorption rate is too slow!
Hence...
Lu Ming pondered for a moment and he created a Whirlpool Charging Card!
He placed the Charging Card carefully into the passageway where the sinister aura would pass by. As expected, after sensing the aura, the Charging Card began to absorb...
“Success!”
Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.
Although the absorption rate was not very fast, it would do as long as it was working!
Hence...
Very soon, he created dozens of cards and placed them near the ore veins. The sinister aura condensed by the python was reduced by half.
...
Somewhere.
The python that was increasing its energy level paused.
The speed seemed to slow down?
Crash!
Crash!
Inside the building, the cultivators were attacking the surroundings madly.
The python frowned, not paying attention to them. Instead, it took a deep breath and increased its absorption of the ore veins. It was satisfied when it sensed that its cultivation speed was increasing.
At this very moment...
Deep in the ore veins.
An Original Card and dozens of Charging Cards were madly flickering with brilliance.
Absorbed!
Absorbed!
...
Nine thousand three hundred points!
Nine thousand four hundred points!
Nine thousand five hundred points!
The energy in the Energy Card increased madly!
Lu Ming felt gratified.
Finally...
He could be rid of a two-star title!
As long as the Original Card broke through to ten thousand points of energy, he would truly be a three-star peak. If he could break through successfully, he would be a four-star soon!
He would be really powerful by then!
Nine thousand six hundred points!
Nine thousand seven hundred points!
Lu Ming was full of anticipation.
However...
At this moment.
A figure appeared silently from nowhere.
“Who is that?”
Lu Ming was on alert.
...
