Chapter 175: Huo Sheng’s Decision

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At noon, the Nanxiang gathering place was very peaceful.

The people lit fires, cooked, and children played around, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and harmony.

It felt as if the Nanxiang gathering place was not in the Black Mist Zone but in some secluded paradise on Earth.

A month had pa.s.sed since the last visit from Velo and the other Spirit Clan members.

During this month, Lu Ming diligently trained every day to guard against any danger that might come—but surprisingly, no danger had arisen.

However, Lu Ming dared not relax his guard.

On this day, right after lunch and as Lu Ming was about to take a nap, Huo Sheng came to visit.

In Lu Ming’s dining area, Huo Sheng joined him for a couple of bites of exotic beast meat before speaking,

“During this period of time, I’ve chatted a lot with Velo and the others, and I’ve obtained maps of the nearby areas.”

Unfolding the map he brought, numerous complex lines caught Lu Ming’s eye.

These things would be incomprehensible just by looking at them, but fortunately, Huo Sheng was there to explain.

“We’re currently on Bear Mountain. With Bear Mountain as the center, above us is the undead Blood Flame Division, further up is the original territory of the Spirit Clan, and the conflict zone between the Insect Clan and the Undead Clan.”

“Below us are the Lizard Territory, the Dragon Spirit Territory, and then the Black Feather Mountain—where the New Yorkers are. Further down is the territory of the Giant Clan.”

“To the right is an area called the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”

Huo Sheng pointed to the right and Lu Ming noticed a large blank s.p.a.ce on that side.

“The Hundred Thousand Mountains cover an incredibly vast area. There are many smaller tribes within it, and there’s no ruling-level major tribes. Moreover, there are abundant resources and rampant exotic beasts within the Hundred Thousand Mountains. According to Velo, many groups that couldn’t survive outside have sought refuge there, living alongside the exotic beasts.”

Lu Ming nodded in understanding and saw Huo Sheng point to the left.

“This area is called the Chaotic Domain, a paradise for lawless madmen. The races and creatures living there have a chaotic and murderous nature, making it one of the few chaotic regions within the Black Mist Zone.”

“The focus is not on the other areas, but on the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”

“Now I have this idea.”

After saying that, Huo Sheng looked at Lu Ming and said solemnly, “Let’s move.”

Lu Ming was not fond of change.

For the former Lu Ming, moving was a taboo word.

However, since coming to the Black Mist Zone from Nanxiang, some of his thinking had changed.

He did not feel much attachment to this area around Bear Mountain, and he was not particularly fond of the house he was currently living in.

At this moment, when Huo Sheng mentioned moving, Lu Ming raised an eyebrow and gestured for him to continue.

Huo Sheng said, “My idea is that we move to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”

With that said, Huo Sheng pointed at the map again.

“From our current position, we’re close to the Bloodflame Division of the Undead Clan, the Lizard Territory, and Black Feather Mountain. Further away are the threats of the Insect Clan, the Undead Clan, and the Giant Clan.”

“According to Velo, our area is on the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, considered a desolate place. As a result, the major tribes nearby haven’t stationed many experts and troops here.”

“However, even though they’re not strong, there are Spirit Realm experts present. And they can easily contact higher-ups to call for reinforcements from the Source Realm experts!”

“Our current location is surrounded on all sides by enemies. Moreover, our ident.i.ty as tribulation transcenders is too sensitive. Once these major tribes find out, we’ll definitely end up with one fate.”

After Huo Sheng had talked so much, he let Lu Ming have some time to think.

Lu Ming thought for a moment and frowned, “The Hundred Thousand Mountains…”

Huo Sheng said, “Exactly.”

“But as you mentioned, the Hundred Thousand Mountains are also filled with dangerous exotic beasts, making the danger within it also uncontrollable.”

Lu Ming was right. Huo Sheng spread his hands helplessly. “Choosing the lesser of two evils.”

And I’m also planning that once we move into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, we’ll immediately split ourselves up. Dividing into dozens or even hundreds of smaller groups, so that we won’t be wiped out in one go.”

“Oh, and Velo also gave me another suggestion.”

Huo Sheng stretched out his finger, pointing to the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

“He said that beyond the Hundred Thousand Mountains lies the territory of another super major tribe.”

“This tribe is called the Aeonians. Unlike the Insect clan and the Undead clan, the Aeonians are quite tolerant of tribulation transcenders…. They’ve had many precedents of sheltering contemporary tribulation transcenders before.”

“Therefore, I want to ask you for a favor…”

At this point, Huo Sheng paused and looked at Lu Ming solemnly.

“I’d like you to…”

However, before Huo Sheng could finish speaking, Lu Ming suddenly frowned.

Looking up, the faint sound of wings flapping came from the outside.

In the next second, screams suddenly erupted.

Before Huo Sheng could react, he felt a gust of wind blow past him. When he came back to his senses, Lu Ming had already disappeared from where he stood.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ming had gone from the outdoor dining area to the source of the screams.

—Outside in the farmland.

In the area where the black rice grew, dozens of people were frantically running towards the Nanxiang gathering place in panic.

Raising his gaze even higher, Lu Ming clearly saw a strange creature with a pair of wings on its back and two horns on its head hovering overhead. It resembled a demon and was holding a survivor from Nanxiang, feasting on him greedily.

Its razor-sharp teeth plunged deep into the flesh.

With every tear from the demon, large chunks of flesh were ripped apart and blood poured down like pouring rain. Before Lu Ming could intervene, that Nanxiang survivor had already lost his life.

Killing someone right in front of Lu Ming.

This made Lu Ming frown deeply.

Staring at the great demon above his head that was also looking at him, Lu Ming quickly said in a low voice, “Zombie, you carry the aura of a zombie?”

The appearances of zombies were extremely varied, so it was not surprising that they could take on various forms.

Shin Kanazawa did not directly answer Lu Ming’s question. Instead, it looked at Lu Ming and spoke in a cold voice.

“You must be the expert that Yamamoto mentioned.”

As soon as it finished speaking, Shin Kanazawa flapped its wings and actually swooped towards Lu Ming!

The zombie coveted Lu Ming’s flesh and blood.

It was confident in its own strength.

At this moment, Shin Kanazawa’s gaze was ferocious and its desire to kill was rising!

Was Lu Ming very strong?

‘Perhaps…’

However, it was not weak either!

The demonic flames of h.e.l.l covered its hands, transforming into corporeal sharp claws.

As it rushed, it roared, “Submit to me! Weakling!”

In an instant, Shin Kanazawa’s sharp claws slapped Lu Ming’s cheek!

However, just before that, a layer of pale blue armor had already covered every part of Lu Ming’s body, preempting Shin Kanazawa’s strike..

A dull thud resounded.

Shin Kanazawa’s confident strike shifted from extreme motion to extreme stillness, abruptly braking on the spot. The claw made of flames burst instantly, shattering into sparks that filled the air.

From the beginning to the end, Lu Ming did not move a muscle!

He merely looked at Shin Kanazawa, and soon, a realization flashed across his eyes.

“Nearly two months ago, a zombie arrived here.. You’re part of the same group, aren’t you?”
