PNB Chapter 10 Escape
Chapter 10 Escape
This guy actually has the strength to materialize cards? Right, Necromancer Zoma is a Trap Card, did he secretly plant it here before the duel? Without time to think further, Li Fei Hua Yue immediately materialized Mikaellis, having her hug her and quickly chase after them.
"Tears of Love, can you turn back into a card?"
Di Xing, panting heavily, said to Lei Xi in his arms
"No, that's too romantic. I've wanted to try this for a long time," Lei Xi said, snuggling closer to Di Xing. "Which girl hasn't fantasized about being carried on horseback by her prince charming?"
"But I feel like I'm running out of energy right now. Manifesting two four-star cards like you is really tiring."
Di Xing also discovered that the energy consumed by materialized cards is proportional to their star rating. Although Necromancer Zoma is a four-star card, its original form is a trap, so it doesn't consume as much power. Moreover, he had injected some energy into the card beforehand when he set it up before the duel began, but even so, it couldn't last long.
"Hmph, if I hadn't caught you just now, would you have recovered so quickly and run away immediately? Now you're complaining that I drained your energy, hmph, man." Di Xing felt helpless about Lei Xi's sudden personality change, which seemed to have triggered some kind of switch.
"No, it's that the moment I touch your skin, my strength is unconsciously drained away. That's why I collapsed on you just now; I feel like you're completely draining me."
"Slap!" Di Xing received another slap on his right cheek, making it symmetrical now.
"Don't say things that could be misunderstood!"
Di Xing was on the verge of tears, but Lei Xi quickly changed shape, turning into a small ball resembling a soul. It was still nestled in Di Xing's arms, but this state consumed far less energy and no longer absorbed Di Xing's energy. Di Xing breathed a sigh of relief. "Lei Xi, can you sense where the exit is?"
"I searched for a long time before I was caught, but I couldn't find it."
"You're a banshee, you should be able to sense death energy, right? The death energy around the exit should be relatively light. Look for areas with very light death energy or empty spaces."
Lei Xi shook her head, or rather, her body said, "It's useless. There are many areas like this here. I've been to quite a few, and none of them are exits."
Suddenly, Di Xing remembered what Zhuang Sini had said: that the corpses should be thrown into the incinerator. This incinerator, if all went as planned, should be providing energy for the mobile city. The city had five levels, and the exit should be the city's main pillar.
The center of gravity of such towering structures is typically located on their pillars. For them to move stably, their engines must be positioned at the center of gravity. This suggests that the exit might be near the incinerator, which would likely be surrounded by piles of corpses, making the air thick with the stench of death.
Johnny's shredder should also have a storage function, which is probably to shred the corpses and bring them back to the power plant for incineration. Moreover, Di Xing in this world was already seriously injured and was thrown down, so he certainly couldn't have run far. Therefore, the power plant should be nearby.
Thinking of this, Di Xing immediately said to Lei Xi, "Lei Xi, quickly search the area with the heaviest death energy." Lei Xi didn't understand, but she obediently did as she was told.
Di Xing's thinking was correct, because they soon witnessed a sight they would never forget: a wall, a wall made of rubble, the rubble crushed and compressed into huge square blocks, which served as bricks in the wall.
Then a giant mechanical arm reached out, grabbed a brick, and pulled back the massive, raging power plant behind it. The power plant resembled a huge lake of fire, and at its very center was the city's massive pillar. Four 30-meter-wide passageways led from the sea of fire in the power plant to the pillar.
The temperature here was extremely high, and the air seemed to be on fire. Di Xing looked back and saw Mika Elis carrying Li Fei Hua Yue chasing after him at high speed. He gritted his teeth, disregarded whether there were any security measures for the power furnace, pulled on the reins, and spurred his horse to gallop towards the passage.
"Idiot, we can't force our way in there!" A rare hint of anxiety flickered in Li Feihua's voice, but Di Xing ignored her and continued running forward. The undead horse galloped along the wide road, a scene that evoked the image of a carefree rider enjoying the spring breeze and seeing all the flowers of Chang'an in a single day. However, Di Xing's feelings were far from pleasant. Not only were there pursuers behind him, but he also sensed that something bad was about to happen.
As expected, when the undead Zoma reached the middle of the passage, a giant hand reached out from the sea of fire below, blocking his path. Then, a monster with flames on its head, a ferocious face, and a body like molten lava rose from the flames—the Flame King, Nagil, the Dharma King.
So there really are security measures? Or is this guy the gatekeeper? This delay caused Li Fei Hua Yue to arrive later. Di Xing hurriedly prepared for battle, but unexpectedly, Li Fei Hua Yue didn't attack him. Instead, she grabbed his hand.
"Get out of here with me right now! This is a World Collapse-level Calamity Beast!" She was only here to exorcise the demon; she didn't want to see this fool die here.
Li Fei Hua Yue's small hands were icy cold and soft as if boneless, but unfortunately Di Xing didn't have time to feel their softness. "World Collapse Level? What does that mean?"
"No time, let's go!" Li Fei Hua Yue didn't explain to him, grabbing him and preparing to fly away with Mikaelis. But suddenly, she trembled, clutching her head and crouching on the ground in anguish, like a helpless little girl fleeing from fear. Mikaelis's materialization was also dispelled. At the same time, Lei Xi, transformed into a sphere, quickly flew back to the deck.
"What's wrong with you all?" Di Xing was even more frustrated, but at that moment he also sensed a terrifying aura coming from behind him. He hurriedly turned around and saw a giant beast floating in the sky behind him. It had a dragon-like body but a human-like upper body, holding a staff in its right hand, and a crown made of white bones was wildly spread open behind it—the Necromancer King, Evil Eye.
With its arrival, the fifth level, already littered with skeletons, instantly became even more terrifying, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood surging forth. Li Fei Hua Yue seemed filled with fear, clutching her head and repeatedly murmuring, "Sister, sister."
Di Xing glared angrily at the two giant beasts. "Damn it, is this never going to end? Why is it so hard to even leave the starting village?" He hurriedly shook Li Fei Hua Yue, "Hey, these two are coming for us! Quickly materialize your Holy Mother Hymn to fight!"
Li Fei Hua Yue looked up at him. Her face, which had been calm and expressionless before, was now covered with tears, but she still showed no intention of standing up. Her emotions had collapsed.
Di Xing grabbed her by the collar, lifted her up, and roared, "Get up! If we don't fight, we'll all die!"
