Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

The two of them blazed a trail through the blood, continuing their mad dash, while a dozen flying mechas doggedly pursued them.

Qu Jianlei abruptly turned back, releasing two Thunder Dragons, once again destroying two mechas.

"This one can't be captured alive," someone spoke up inside another mecha, "The cost is too high."

Another mecha puzzledly asked, "Is this a newly promoted B-level warrior? How does he have such strong stamina?"

"Obey the orders," a stern voice sounded, "Lord Sander will arrive shortly."

Qu Jianlei and Xiao Moshan desperately fled for their lives. Unintentionally, when Xiao Moshan turned his head, his face turned pale, "Oh no."

Qu Jianlei looked back and was also taken aback; his perception ability now exceeded that of Xiao Moshan.

He saw a small black dot appear behind the flying mecha, "Is that an A-level warrior? Why are they flying so slowly?"

"A-level warriors aren't necessarily fast flyers," Xiao Moshan's tone couldn't hide its frustration, "But they're definitely faster than the two of us."

"I thought they were just bragging... but here comes a real A-level."

"The forest is just ahead," Qu Jianlei encouraged him, "Once we're inside, it'll be easier to escape."

Xiao Moshan, however, replied weakly, "What if they have a Wood Attribute... wouldn't that be a deathtrap for us?"

That's why I was thinking of setting traps earlier, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but purse his lips.

But he knew it wasn't the time to complain, "I still have Gold Attribute Techniques, let's put in some effort!"

Xiao Moshan shook his head and rallied, "Alright, after all, you can't die, and it's hard for me to live, let's fight!"

As they entered the forest, he turned his head once more, his face suddenly changed, "Oh shit, I was right!"

"A Wood Attribute? No matter," Qu Jianlei nimbly weaved through the trees.

"I'll first build you a safe house... hide well."

Qu Jianlei was highly skilled at creating safe houses. He first used the Earth Wall Technique to conjure up four Earth Blades, extracting the earth from the center perfectly.

Then he placed an Alloy Shield on top, covered it with a Cover Net, and it was done.

Such a safe house might not consume as much as an Earth Wall, but the key challenge was micro-operation.

Qu Jianlei had practiced this numerous times as routine, executing it with great proficiency; even Earth Attribute Cultivators would marvel at it.

Not feeling safe enough, coupled with OCD, so here it is.

As he was busy, Xiao Moshan suddenly spoke up, "Jian Lei, let's combine forces to take him down!"

Qu Jianlei acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing his work, but he asked, "Enemy?"

It wasn't that his mental fortitude was all that strong, but if they couldn't take down this A-level warrior, the two of them would never shake off the pursuit.

On top of that, with the mechas surrounding them, he truly couldn't imagine how they could escape alive.

"Something like that," Xiao Moshan spat out with gritted teeth, "I had to defect, he's the mastermind."

"You must be something, getting an A-level warrior to scheme against a C-level," Qu Jianlei replied casually, his hands not slowing down.

"Alright... get in there, and hide well."

Xiao Moshan straightforwardly jumped into the Earth Blades, "Wait, let's discuss the combat strategy..."

In reality, there was hardly any time for them to strategize; as soon as the safe house was built, their pursuers were less than a kilometer away.

Fortunately, they both had techniques to obscure perception, Xiao Moshan's was "Particle," and Qu Jianlei's was "Dust."

Plus, with the forest here, it could somewhat obscure visibility; otherwise, it would be a long shot to evade the pursuers.
