In the mountain range…

The black-robed cultivators were confronting the beast.

“Damn profiteers!”

One of the men in black was furious.

Only Heaven knew.

The amount of money they had spent in order to catch this beast!

This beast was a very important part of their future plans. But now? They made a mistake all because of a small energy shackle!

“Let’s go. It’s a five-star beast!”

Fan Ze was worried.

They would not be able to deal with a beast of this level!

“It’s okay.”

One of the men in black was very calm. “It suffered serious injuries and was drained of its strength several times…”

Bang!

The beast suddenly charged at them.

Although it was extremely weak, what was so powerful about it was that it might not have any energy left, its body was extremely powerful and it moved at a very fast speed.

The black-robed man who was speaking was torn apart right on the spot.

Blood splashed.

“We cannot use force. Retreat!”

Everyone was appalled.

“It does not dare to charge outward.”

“Let’s retreat first!”

The men in black realized the seriousness of the matter and turned into a streak of black light, disappearing immediately into the distance.

“Damn it!

Seeing that the situation was going against them, Fan Ze spat a mouthful of blood, turned into a blood-red light and fled. Lu Ming was the only one left in the huge cave.

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

Crap!

All of them fled at lightning speed.

Alright, it seemed that all the cultivators had a trump card to escape.

Roar—

The beast in the distance let out a loud roar.

What should he do?

Flee.

Lu Ming was also very helpless. He turned to escape. Right now, his physical fitness was at the three-star peak level. He ran at a fast speed out of the cave.

At this very moment…

Fan Ze and the men in black had already disappeared into the sky.

Hehe.

They were very fast.

“I don’t think the beast is running after me.”

Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

After breaking free, it only gave a loud shout to scare everyone away. It seemed that it was seriously injured. In that case…

Lu Ming was just about to leave.

However, he saw a huge figure on the mountain, coming nearer and nearer from the sky.

Oh.

Crap!

This beast could fly…

Roar—

The fearsome eyes of the beast zoomed in on Lu Ming who was nearest to him.

Lu Ming was speechless.

The beast must have thought that they were the only ones with trump cards?

In fact, he also had one.

Hence…

Lu Ming quietly pulled out his Escape Card. He gave a deep sigh as he watched the five-star beast flying toward him. “You should know that I saved you, right?”

Roar!

The beast bellowed.

Its huge, fleshy wings kept flapping, creating strong hurricanes.

Lu Ming was not the least scared.

In his impression…

The beast of this level should have a certain degree of intelligence. If possible, it might be eye-catching if he could subdue the five-star beast, taking it as a lackey and riding it.

However…

Lu Ming realized that he had been thinking too much.

The beast’s eyes initially looked menacing, but then it was replaced with relish and indifference. Apparently, it did not intend to repay his kindness.

There was a look of arrogance…

It was full of contempt.

Bang!

The beast waved its wings and a powerful thought hit him.

“Lowly h-humans… If you take me as your l-leader… I will spare y-your life…”

Lu Ming rolled his eyes.

True enough.

The beast of this level had some simple intelligence. However, it was the exact opposite of what he imagined. He was thinking of taking him as his lackey and riding it.

However…

Brother!

You can’t even speak our language properly. Canyou stop fronting?

Where did you learn your pronunciation?

Did you think that you are from another province and hence have an accent?

At this very moment…

The beast noticed Lu Ming’s sarcastic expression and it was furious. He was only a two-star cultivator. How dare he mock it?

Bang!

The beast struck.

A strong bloody smell wafted toward Lu Ming.

“Why bother?”

Lu Ming gave a deep sigh.

The Original Card…

Forget it.

Lu Ming did not intend to use the Original Card.

Moonblade was a group-targeted AOE (Area of effect) powerful ability. One would be drained after using it. It was unsuitable to use it on the beast in front of him. It was better to use the Escape Card.

It just so happened that he wanted to know if the cloud shuttle could be used on a five-star beast…

Whoosh!

He threw the Escape Card in his hands.

The shining cloud shuttle left with the beast immediately.

“Come on!”

Lu Ming gave a small yell.

Whoosh!

The beast turned into an azure light and disappeared.

However, from the distance and angle, it would not go as far away as the two-star and three-star beasts…

“Oh.”

Lu Ming made a mental note of the test data.

The test data had been updated.

The cloud shuttle was effective for an injured five-star beginner.

As for other five-stars, it was to be determined.

The energy level of the target would affect the distance that the cloud shuttle could travel with them.

…

At this very moment…

Somewhere.

Fan Ze and the men in black who had escaped to a far distance looked stark white, feeling relieved that they had survived the calamity.

“When I go back, I will hack the profiteer!”

One of the men in black yelled in anger.

“Now that this has happened, our plans might be affected…” one of them said indifferently.

“Hehe.”

Fan Ze merely sneered.

Damn it, a bunch of untrustworthy bastards!

So much about being a brilliant plan. They even bought fake products!

Didn’t they use their brains?!

Why didn’t they check them?

“That five-star beast…”

“It’s okay.”

“It was seriously injured. Although it is still physically strong, it has no more strength to venture outside to chase us. However, if we strike next time, we might have to start all over again.”

The men in black felt depressed.

“Forget it.”

“Let’s leave this place first.”

“I wonder what is happening in Qing Ming City. Powerful cultivators keep going there. This will work against us.”

“Alright.”

After discussing and coming to a conclusion, everyone was getting ready to leave.

However…

Just then, faint azure light flashed in front of them. A huge black shadow suddenly landed in front of them. They opened their eyes and all of them looked terror-stricken.

This…

Damn it!

This was the five-star beast!

All of them felt nothing but despair.

They only had one Escape Card.

They made use of the burst of energy to escape and right now they were in a weakened state. They did not expect that the five-star beast would chase them all the way here!

How the hell did it get here?!

At this very moment…

The five-star beast looked at the enemies in front of him and gave a roar of excitement, charging towards them. The men in black who were in a weakened state were in a precarious situation.

Fan Ze gritted his teeth.

Bang!

There was a burst in his body and a strange sound could be heard.

Fan Ze spat blood once again and his speed increased!

“Save me!”

One of the black-robed men looked at him with despair in his eyes.

Fan Ze ignored him and disappeared instantly without a trace.

To hell with it.

He must be crazy to save them!

Roar—

The beast killed all of the men in black, feeling very refreshed.

There was a flash of red in its huge eyes. It looked in the direction of Fan Ze. It seemed to fear Fan Ze’s ability. It did not chase after him, instead, it turned to charge in another direction.

And over there…

Lu Ming who was getting ready to leave felt a glimmer of cold light.

This was…

Lu Ming spread his palms and a mark appeared on it.

Lock on!

It was no wonder…

Lu Ming understood now. When the five-star beast broke free of the chains, it had locked in on them!

It wouldn’t give up until it died?

Lu Ming shook his head.

The beast was not very intelligent.

Bang!

The aura in the distance surged.

The beast came running in his direction.

Lu Ming frowned. This matter had nothing to do with him. Although the beast was seriously injured, he had no wish to engage in a battle with it.

Well…

Lu Ming scanned the surroundings.

Oh.

Over here…

He entered a cave.

Many mountains in the nearby mountain range had caves within them. They seemed like stalactite grottos. It was amazing.

Lu Ming deliberately chose a cave with a relatively small entrance and crawled into it. He decided to find a place to take a rest. Since it was very narrow and cramped…

According to the size of the beast, it would not be able to fit in.

Besides…

He couldn’t care less and he even saved its life!

No matter what, it should not keep coming after him.

That was what Lu Ming had in mind.

However…

Within seconds…

Bang!

A huge shadow loomed over the mountains.

Boom!

Boom!

Lu Ming woke up suddenly to see that the beast wrapped its wings about itself and had squeezed its way through the small entrance into the cave!

It forced its way through!

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

What did it think it was?

A small train entering the cave and all it needed to do was to honk?

Were its brains damaged?!

Looking at its size, would it be alright?

Why did it squeeze inside here?

Wouldn’t it be funny if it was stuck at the entrance?

It was a pity…

He had underestimated the ability of the five-star beast. The beast was not stuck at the mouth of the cave, instead, it squeezed in very quickly and blocked the entrance, trapping Lu Ming inside.

Roar—

There was a loud roar.

The beast spread its wings, revealing its murderous intent.

Drip!

Water droplets dripped from the rock walls within the hollow space inside the mountain, making a clear sound.

In this huge cave…

There was only Lu Ming and the five-star beast!

There was nowhere to go!

There was nowhere to run!

Roar!

The beast charged forward, its eyes flashing red.

Lu Ming was speechless.

A—alright.

It seemed that he had no choice but to fight it.

Look.

It locked in on his location and blocked the cave. It was forcing him to battle with him. Unfortunately, the cloud shuttle would not be effective in this kind of place…

Eh?

Lu Ming had an idea and he threw out a card automatically.

The beast which charged forward disappeared on the spot immediately.

Whoosh!

Azure lights flashed.

The cloud shuttle appeared and brought the beast away.

Just when Lu Ming was wondering where it would bring the beast, there was a sharp tremor in the mountain and the beast appeared on the rock wall in the far distance…

Over there…

A huge pit was created from the collision.

Fresh blood dripped from the beast.

True enough.

Lu Ming’s lips curled to reveal a smile.

The cloud shuttle could bring the enemy away at a high speed. However, its spatial ability was lacking!

It only had—

Speed!

The location and destination—

Were random.

Well, what if it was a confined space?

Well…

It was very thrilling.

Roar—

The beast roared at the immense pain, charging at Lu Ming once again. Lu Ming threw another card automatically and the beast went flying into the air again…

Bang!

The cloud shuttle brought the beast away and crashed somewhere on the wall.

Fresh blood was dripping.

“Eh?”

Lu Ming was surprised.

This was a new way of using the card!

If he released a few more cloud shuttles…

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The beast that had just regained consciousness was being taken away again.

Bang!

Bang!

The mountain shook.

Did anyone ever release firework rockets indoors?

This was how it would turn out.

Hence…

Within the sturdy mountain…

Many streaks of azure lights flashed, bringing the beast with it, colliding and hitting the walls, sending loud sounds resonating in the surroundings.

Bang!

Bang!

The mountain shook.

The beasts on the mountain range fled in terror.

At this very moment…

The team that was responsible for investigating the beasts’ tide was nearby.

On the way, they did not see any beasts’ tide. Just when they thought that it was a misreport, countless beasts swarmed toward them from not far in the mountains.

“Let’s go!”

“This is the beasts tide. This is indeed the beasts tide!”
