I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse

Chapter 358: Lu Ming’s Safe Zone

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, Jiu Han was like a diligent student seeking enlightenment from a teacher.

Zero, on the other hand, became that teacher—although he didn’t know much, the answers he provided were ambiguous at best.

But at least he could offer Jiu Han some insights.

Time swiftly passed during the Q&A session. Only when Jiu Han had finished asking did he take a deep breath and nod, saying, “In that case, 1 have no more questions.”

After finishing his words, facing Zero’s inquiring gaze, Jiu Han continued, “I’ll help you complete the array formation, and you help me rescue my disciple.”

“That sounds fair.”

“When are you guys going to attack?”

Hearing this, Zero laughed loudly, “I’ve long made arrangements. 1 was just waiting for you to say this!”

At the border on the other side of Guitan Province.

When the communicator in his hand rang, a small tree with a human head slowly opened its eyes.

The small tree was about a meter tall, with four limbs formed by tree roots and branches. It lacked a tree crown, and in place of it was a female human head with beautiful facial features.

This was one of the clones of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.

Looking down at the communicator in its hand, the Mother Tree grinned.

“Lu Ming?”

“You want me to save Lu Ming in the Black Mist Zone?”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

Mentioning LU Ming triggered the memories of its death.

Thinking of the dark history in Nanxiang City, the smile on the corners of Little Tree’s mouth immediately became distorted.

“Well, okay. Since I have nothing else to do, it’s a good opportunity to see how much progress Brother Lu has made.”

“Don’t be too weak…”

As it muttered, the ground behind it began to tremble.

Soon, thousands of humanoid monsters crawled out of the ground, surrounding the mother tree.

Standing at the forefront, like a general leading an army, the small figure exuded an imposing aura.

Licking its lips lightly.

The mother tree muttered in a low voice, “Brother Lu, Brother Lu, don’t be too weak.”

“If you’re too weak, you’ll be hung up by me and beaten up.”

The grievances between Lu Ming and the mother tree were neither big nor small.

After such a long time, the mother tree gradually forgot its grudge against Lu Ming.

But now, when Zero suddenly mentioned Lu Ming, and he became the target of its rescue mission, the mother tree naturally had some thoughts.

Directly killing him wouldn’t be too good.

But humiliating him a bit to vent its anger would not be a problem.

“Let’s go!”

With a wave of its hand, the Mother Tree led the army into action.

In its mind, it had already thought of thousands of ways to humiliate Lu Ming.

“Cosplay! We have to have this!”

“He has to serve as my maid for three days to vent my resentment!”

As for Lu Ming being stronger than it now…

Sorry, the mother tree never even considered this possibility.

At most, even if Lu Ming had achieved the status of a quasi-god… but, how could a quasi-god be compared to me, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree?

Three years.

Lu Ming was not the only one who had grown.

As possibly the most robust and fastest-evolving exotic species in history, the power of the mother tree had long surpassed the limits of anyone’s imagination.

Even weak gods like Moon Fiend, the Mother Tree dared to fight against!

The main body of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree was undoubtedly an exotic species.

Unexpectedly, the humanoid monsters created by the mother tree also seemed to belong to exotic species.

At the very least, they would not be hunted by the anomalies in the black mist.

Although anomalies wouldn’t actively hunt these exotic species, if you flaunted yourself blatantly in front of them, that wouldn’t work either—after all, anomalies had hearing and vision. They also had some basic hunting instincts.

Even if they were exotic species, if they went too far, the anomalies would consider them as hunting targets.

As a result, after the Mother Tree led its army into the Black Mist Zone, the progress was slow.

A day passed.

The mother tree had just completed a tenth of the journey and was far from Xuanhui City.

Fortunately, with caution, not many casualties occurred among its subordinates, and the mother tree’s avatar had not encountered any life-threatening crises.

“Anyway, if you die before I arrive, blame it on your bad luck.”

“Good, that’s all.”

The mother tree indeed had an element of passivity.

However, the mother tree also had something to say, “When I carry out a mission, the first thing I consider is my own safety. Is there a problem with that?”

There was no problem at all.

As for saying that this avatar could be casually fabricated by the mother tree and that the life and death of the avatar was not important… and so on.

Mother Tree: If you can do it, go ahead.

In short, as a special entity valued by the Corpse God, the Mother Tree enjoyed great autonomy on many occasions.

However, it did not know that Lu Ming had never intended to trouble others.

He cherished his own life.

If he encountered any difficulties, he would think of a way to solve them himself.

This had always been Lu Ming’s motto!

Lu Ming had never thought of relying on someone else’s intervention to save his life.

Compared to relying on others, Lu Ming relied more on his own abilities.

Lu Ming changed to another safe house.

The reason why he changed the location was because Lu Ming had entered the Boshi Tower previously and taken some things from it—Lu Ming had used Source Power to enter and exit, causing Source Power fluctuations to dissipate and attract the anomalies. That was why he had no choice but to change his residence.

The new residence was located in a palace-style scenic spot in the heart of Xuanshui City.

According to legend, this place was once the mansion of a certain prince. After the prince fell from power, the huge palace was preserved and later on, it was opened to the public as a tourist attraction.

Most of the buildings in the palace had been damaged by the Blood Demon Gate calamity and the Harvest Period calamity. However, there was still a well-preserved garden building—this was the safe zone Lu Ming had chosen.

A safe zone was crucial.

This was the experience Lu Ming had brought from his time in Nanxiang City on Earth.

“Let’s begin.”

Standing in the garden, ensuring there were no traces of anomalies around, Lu Ming muttered to himself.

Then, he turned around and looked at several small mountain-like stone piles behind him.

“Whether it will work depends on this wave.”

The piles of stones were the treasures Lu Ming had brought back from the Boshi Tower.

It was also because of these things that Lu Ming changed his residence although he felt it was worth it.

The Flamestone, Stone of Eternity, Ice Stone, Great Forging Stone, Sky Blue Stone, and so on.

These stones shared a common feature—there was energy inside that was different from Source Power.

There was fire power inside the Flamestone, and there was void power inside the Stone of Eternity…

It was known that the anomalies devoured Source Power and hunted superhumans under the source power system.

Anyone or anything with Source Power fluctuations could not escape their pursuit and hunting.

Then, here comes the question.

How sensitive were they to other types of energy?

The answer was average—Lu Ming had already tested this.

Due to the lack of intelligence in anomalies and their almost instinct-driven actions, their sensitivity to other types of energy is quite poor.

For example, source power superhumans could sense the presence of fiery energy within the Flamestone.

However, in the eyes of the anomalies, the Flamestone is just a broken stone by the roadside, not worth paying attention to.

This gave Lu Ming room to maneuver.

“Formation! It’s still the Dao of Formation that saves my life!”

The Dao of array formations at level 7893 was almost transcendent and extraordinary. It also gave Lu Ming the ability to transform decay into something magical..
