Chapter 145: The Old Man Dropped Gold Coins!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was only when the Bear Mountain Ancestor fell in front of him that Lu Ming realized how terrifying the Perfect Explosive Fist could be!
Perfect level meant perfection in all aspects, the pinnacle of skill!
One force could overcome 10 indeed, but when both sides had equal strength, the Perfect Fist or peak-level technique could also bring absolute dominance.
Lu Ming smacked his lips and felt that he had not used any strength and yet, it already collapsed…
Actually, he was looking forward to an evenly matched battle, but it seemed that the Bear Mountain Ancestor, though impressive-looking, could not withstand even a couple of punches.
“Alright, less fighting means less danger. This is good too.”
After muttering to himself, Lu Ming looked up again and saw that with the demise of the Bear Mountain Ancestor, the Six-legged Wolf Bears had sensed the danger and scattered to escape.
Of course, the Nanxiang people would not let go of these reserve foods…
It was a pursuit and hunt.
It was only as the sky darkened that the chaos gradually subsided.
Lu Ming followed Huo Sheng into the ruins of the ancient city.
As they walked, Huo Sheng said, “This place is no longer called the Ruins of the Ancient City, but the Nanxiang Gathering Place.”
Here would be the home of all the future Nanxiang people.
Then, Huo Sheng brought Lu Ming to a building.
Standing in front of the building, Lu Ming raised his eyebrows and could not help but smile.
This was because this building was exactly the same as his former home.
Seeing Lu Ming’s expression, Huo Sheng smiled and said, “This house is prepared for you. What do you think?”
Lu Ming walked around the house a few times and nodded, “You guys put in some effort.”
To give Lu Ming a sense of belonging here, Huo Sheng had put in a lot of effort to restore Lu Ming’s house—mainly because he was not sure about the layout of Lu Ming’s home, so he had to guess, which took a lot of brainpower.
Huo Sheng made an inviting gesture. Lu Ming thought for a moment, then pushed open the door and walked into the house.
The size of the house was not much different from his former home.
However, there were significant differences in the details.
For example, the position of the bed in the master bedroom was different from that of his original home.
The entrance to the basement was not in the bedroom but in the living room on the first floor.
The layout of the second floor was also different—Lu Ming’s original second floor was completely open, but this place divided the second floor into three different rooms.
In short…
It only looked exactly the same on the outside.
But the joy in his heart was dampened a lot. However, considering that no one had set foot in his home before, their efforts were still commendable.
After staying in the house for a while, his sense of belonging to this house could not be said to be strong. Lu Ming could only sigh helplessly and sigh that he could never go back…
Lu Ming stepped out of the house and saw Huo Sheng still waiting outside. Seeing Lu Ming, Huo Sheng smiled and said, “Are you satisfied with the interior of the house?
“If you’re not completely satisfied, I can make changes.
“Whatever you say, 1’11 change it!”
However, Lu Ming was not the kind of person who was pretentious and obsessive-compulsive.
After some thought, Lu Ming nodded and said, “It’s alright.”
It was alright, but it was not perfect.
However, Lu Ming was not the kind of person who would demand others to be perfect. He would only demand that of himself.
Huo Sheng could also tell that Lu Ming was not completely satisfied, but Lu Ming did not say anything more, so Huo Sheng could not continue.
After a moment of silence, Huo Sheng pointed to the side.
“Over there is your training ground and outdoor canteen.
“You don’t have to worry about food and water in the future. Well contact Chengcheng for such matters.”
At this point, Huo Sheng paused briefly and said, “As for the safety of this place, I’ll have to rely on you.”
This was reasonable and right.
By creating a comfortable environment for Lu Ming here, he did not have to worry about food and accommodation. Lu Ming would also contribute to the safety of the gathering place.
The relationship between the two sides had always been like this.
That was how it should be.
Seeing Lu Ming nod, Huo Sheng’s smile grew even more radiant, and he continued,
“There’s one last thing.
“I wonder if you want to go for a trip now, Mr. Lu?”
Going out?
Lu Ming was about to refuse, but considering that he was new here, it seemed okay to go out and take a look- mainly because this new home did not have the same allure as his old one.
It was like the difference between a cold bed and a warm bed on a winter morning.
He asked, “Where are we going and what are we going to do?”
“We’re going to the lair of the Six-Legged Wolf Bears… to see if there’s anything good there.”
Lu Ming frowned, “What’s there to see?”
Lu Ming did not really want to go… until Huo Sheng said, “Do you still remember the mastermind theory I proposed?”
Seeing Lu Ming nod, Huo Sheng continued, “Now, I feel that everything that happened is like a game to us. Now that we’ve defeated a big boss, we should have some spoils of war, right?”
“Since that big wolf bear did not drop anything, where do you think the mastermind will hide the spoils of war?”
This piqued Lu Ming’s interest.
“Then let’s make a trip.”
Following the footprints of the Wolf Bear Ancestor, Lu Ming, Huo Sheng, Bai Tianyu, Zhang Chengcheng, and Duan Mei arrived at Bear Mountain.
The place here had a broad width, and there were also water sources and fruit trees nearby. This made Huo Sheng mutter, “We should set up a new gathering place here.”
There were about 100,000 survivors from Nanxiang. The ancient city ruins could barely accommodate these people, but it was very crowded.
If they wanted to develop, the Nanxiang people would eventually have to expand outward.
After Huo Sheng finished mumbling, the group no longer paid attention to anything else and climbed all the way to halfway up Bear Mountain.
With the physique of the Bear Mountain Ancestor, its nest must be very easy to find—and it was indeed the case.
The entrance of the huge cave that was dozens of meters tall was extremely eye-catching.
Bai Tianyu casually crushed a few Six-legged Wolf Bears that were wandering nearby and took the lead to walk into the cave.
A fishy smell greeted them.
The cave was quite spacious but also dirty and messy.
There were bones of unknown creatures and wolf bear feces everywhere.
In the center of the cave was a nest made of twigs and dried leaves. Other than that, there was nothing else.
It could only be said that wild beasts were just wild beasts and they did not care about personal hygiene at all…
Enduring the stench, the group began a meticulous search.
They rummaged through everything like bandits.
However, this time, Huo Sheng’s mastermind theory seemed to have no effect
– there was nothing of value here except for garbage and feces.
Until Zhang Chengcheng’s exclamation attracted everyone’s attention.
They saw
Zhang Chengcheng standing on the nest, holding a smooth round stone ball in her hand.
At this moment, the stone ball was emitting light, and the light condensed above Zhang Chengcheng’s head, as if it was transmitting some information.
Zhang Chengcheng’s expression was somewhat dazed, making Lu Ming’s heart tighten.
Just as Lu Ming took two steps forward, wanting to take the stone ball from her, Zhang Chengcheng suddenly snapped back to her senses.
Her face suddenly showed an expression of joy.
“The Old Wolf Bear dropped gold coins! Brother Lu, this is a Source Power Skill!”
So, Lu Ming very quickly took the stone ball into his hands..
