The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 629 - 25: Stealing Garbage

The roar of the engine was completely drowned out by the immense noise of the mining machinery clanking away.

Lu Yuan glanced back, smirked, and then casually fished out a few gum-like items from a hidden compartment in the control panel to toss into his mouth, and stomped on the accelerator....

The ultra-small aircraft, shaped much like a motorbike, shot out at high speed, trailing a long red tail flame, thoroughly shaking off someone's pursuit behind, and dived headlong into the ink-like darkness of the primeval forest ahead.

"Whoosh—"

After shutting down the energy barrier of the aircraft, cool wind rushed in from outside, tousling Lu Yuan's hair and bringing a refreshing feeling of exhilaration.

Chewing gum, Lu Yuan followed the guidance of a map, skilfully piloting the hoverbike beneath him, flying swiftly along the surface of the primal forest.

The bike was something his predecessor, Lu Qiyuan, had bought to impress Venia, the goddess of the noble descendants in his circle, hoping to take her for a ride. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Unfortunately, Venia never once sat in the backseat, but now Lu Yuan found it quite useful.

In the vast night, Lu Yuan drove the bike rapidly across the sea of trees.

The stars were dazzling overhead.

Gradually, many shimmering green light points began to emerge from the forest, slowly floating up into the air.

Lu Yuan, curious, reached out to grab them.

Yet, the light points vanished quickly as soon as they touched his palm.

"Hmm?"

Lu Yuan's expression shifted; he distinctly felt that those disappearing light points seemed to merge into his body.

Moreover, those light points seemed to contain traces of Life Energy.

Very faint, but undeniably present.

It was only because Lu Yuan was extremely sensitive to Life Energy, beneficial for restoring his strength, that he could detect it; an ordinary person wouldn't notice a thing.

The shimmering green light points above the forest became increasingly numerous, forming an almost dreamlike sea of light like countless fireflies.

Lu Yuan seemed to be navigating through this sea of shimmering green light.

"So many...."

Lu Yuan gradually slowed the hoverbike, staring in fascination at the magnificent and ethereal sight before him, murmuring, "How great it would be if I could absorb them all...."

Though each light point contained a minute amount of Life Energy, together in such quantity, they were quite significant.

Unfortunately, these free-floating light points were not influenced by any force and were difficult to capture.

Lu Yuan attempted to use his [Devour] skill, but even if he transformed his body entirely into a state of viscous black liquid, devouring this entire "ocean" would take quite a while.

After five minutes of the light points appearing, they began to disperse swiftly.

The magnificent and grand sea of shimmering green light began to break apart.

Lu Yuan had no choice but to give up.

"Forget it."

Lu Yuan picked up the hoverbike's speed again, his gaze flickering.

"I'll come back to study later where these Life Energy-laden light points come from and why they form....

For now, let's attend to the main task."

He lingered for a short while due to the appearance of this mysterious sea of light points.

If he delayed any further, Lu Feng, trailing behind, might catch up by scent soon.

He didn't think that simply without a terminal, and shutting off the locator on the optical brain pendant hanging around his neck, he could completely throw off the opponent.

Lu Feng likely had other means to track him down.

With one last glance at the forest, which gradually faded from splendorously beautiful to darkly silent, Lu Yuan hit the accelerator, and the hoverbike beneath him shot forth like an arrow once more.

Fifteen minutes later, the speed of the bike began to slow down.

In Lu Yuan's view appeared a small section ablaze with lights.

Lu Yuan piloted the bike to a halt in front of a densely canopied tree.

Jumping off, he stored the bike back into the Space Capsule.

Standing atop the high treetop, he squinted his eyes, chewing gum while taking a distant measure of the brightly lit area ahead.

"That should be the place..."

Xiao's Mining, a small company mainly engaged in mining bismuth metal.

It was also the closest bismuth metal mining site displayed on the map to Lu Yuan.

The destination of his trip.

"Let's go."

Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze and nimbly leapt from the treetop, moving swiftly towards the brightly lit area, using the connection between vines and branches of the trees.

"Strength 16, agility 16, physique 16....This body's basic attributes are still lacking...."

After leaping and vaulting for a few minutes, Lu Yuan felt his energy draining, and his breath started to become labored.

Normally, he could reach such a short distance in one breath, without breaking a sweat.

Riding a hoverbike, it was merely a matter of stepping on the accelerator.

Unfortunately, now he was too weak, and to avoid being detected, he couldn't continue speeding on the hoverbike and had to use this primitive method instead.

Luckily, when Lu Yuan left this day, he specifically changed into a tight-fitting biking suit and put on night-vision goggles.

These items, also paired with the hoverbike, offered good protection, shielding Lu Yuan from countless vine and branch scratches along the way. Otherwise, he estimated he would be covered head to toe in fine scratches and wounds by now.

A few minutes later, Lu Yuan successfully arrived at the target location.

Standing on a sturdy branch, he steadied his breath while quietly surveying the situation at the mining site in front of him.

Much like his own digging point, this mining site was simply a clearing manually created in the forest, with some makeshift buildings put up for people to live in.
