Free Web NovelChapter 158: Chapter 67: Encounter with a Card Player_3
"You stay here and guard this guy, I’ll take him to Old Chess for treatment."
"Remember, the Wooden Spirit Clan guys have many tricks, so try to avoid physical contact with him as much as possible."
Even after locking the Pipa Bone of the other party, Exterminator Thirteen still cautiously warned.
"Okay, you go ahead."
Ree Shil waved his iron stick, signaling that he understood.
Exterminator Thirteen left with Wolf Walk, leaving Ree Shil and the Zombie Beast Hound alone in the field for a while.
"You continue to look for the master of that scent, and follow from a distance when you find them." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"I’ll come to find you when I’m done."
However, Ree Shil did not forget about the other matter.
As a Follower card, the Zombie Beast Hound had a special telepathic connection with him, which allowed them to communicate and sense each other’s position at any time.
[Woof!]
But the Zombie Beast Hound seemed to have received the order and wagged its tail around him, seemingly not intending to leave.
"Huh?"
Through its telepathic conveyance, Ree Shil understood the situation.
The master of that scent was nearby!
[Roar...]xN
However, before he could locate the exact location, demon monsters began emerging from the darkness.
With the help of the weak light from the Blue Light Barrier above his head, he looked around.
There were four-legged creatures, crawling creatures, standing creatures, and various strange and bizarre things that looked like a mix of humans and animals.
"There are so many??"
He found himself surrounded.
The number of demon monsters was actually more than a dozen.
Without the help of Little Jingle’s Spell Traps, he couldn’t handle this many with his current abilities.
It seemed like they had come to rescue Wood Swordson, the feeling was unmistakable.
"Then there’s no choice..."
Ree Shil knew that only about twenty days of training would not be enough to make a substantial improvement in his skills.
But he still had an equipment card he could use.
If he needed to deal with a group attack, he did have a suitable card for equipment.
[Fox Head Guard]: Gain the Power of Vines
Hum!
As he equipped the card his form began to change.
A long fox tail stretched out behind him, and the top of his head felt a little itchy. He reached up to the spot where he’d expected to find his original ears only to discover that they had been replaced with a pair of fox ears.
Information about activating the Power of Vines suddenly poured into his thoughts.
"This is kind of simple."
Ree Shil pointed at a demon monster that looked like a wild boar with ox horns on its head.
Whizz, whizz, whizz!
Many vines emerged from the ground and bound the boar-like demon monster up.
[Roar, roar, roar!]
The vines were slender but very tough, and the boar-like monster couldn’t break free, despite its continuous roaring.
He pointed at the ground again.
Whizz, whizz, whizz!
A long vine sprouted from beneath his feet, climbing onto the iron stick in his hand, and firmly tying itself to the end of it.
The Iron Stick Meteor Hammer was hurled out by him.
Bang!
The four-legged bird monster that was hit was torn apart.
In front of the Immortal Qi, they, these low-level demon monsters, had no resistance at all.
[Roar, roar, roar!]xN
The other demon monsters tried to pounce on him, but Ree Shil held them back with a glance, tripping them with a large number of vines.
With the help of vine techniques, he was able to crush all the demon monsters in the field after some effort.
"Is this the charm of magic techniques? Love it."
"But the mental burden is a bit too much."
He pressed his temples, feeling a severe pain.
Even his footsteps had unconsciously become somewhat frivolous.
He had no choice but to sit down and rest on the spot.
Just as Ree Shil sat down, he heard a human voice suddenly coming from the darkness.
"I didn’t expect there to be such a young exorcist."
"And he’s able to kill so many demon monsters all by himself, impressive."
A young man in a fancy robe clapped his hands, walking out from a dilapidated and broken-down house.
The person who came was the Right Heart Sect intern, Contestant 285.
"?"
Ree Shil did not expect there to be other people within the barrier, and his intuition told him that the visitor was more likely to be an enemy than a friend.
[Woof!]
At this moment, the Zombie Beast Hound by his side suddenly barked.
"Huh?"
Receiving the information from it, Ree Shil realized that this was the master of that scent.
Now, he saw the other party walking towards Wood Swordson, who was lying on the ground with his Pipa Bone locked.
"This guy is dangerous; you’d better stay away from him."
Unsure of the other party’s intentions, he warned aloud.
"No danger, no danger."
Unexpectedly, Contestant 285 just chuckled, lovingly reaching down to touch Wood Swordson, saying, "The body of a Spirit Demon is the perfect fertile ground for demon species."
In fact, he was the one Wood Swordson had agreed to meet.
From the moment the Barrier appeared, he knew that his appointment with Wood Swordson had been leaked.
But he had a way to escape the Barrier safely, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
He hid in the shadows to watch, waiting to see if there was a chance to take advantage of the situation.
He didn’t expect to actually wait for just the right moment. If he could get Wood Swordson’s Wooden Spirit Demon body, it would undoubtedly be his biggest harvest.
Since he dared to show up now, it meant he was sure of himself.
A young exorcist who had exhausted his strength would not be a match for him.
"You ..."
At this moment, Ree Shil was also certain that the visitor had hostile intentions, so he stood up again with the iron stick in his hand.
[Stand still and don’t move]
A bizarre voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
In Contestant 285’s eyes, a strange vortex was rotating slightly.
And then Ree Shil found himself...unable to move.
(What kind of technique is this, demon technique?)
He was somewhat puzzled.
At this very moment, Exterminator Thirteen had returned after settling Wolf Walk.
"Who are you?! Don’t hurt...!"
Ree Shil heard Exterminator Thirteen’s stern shout from behind his back.
Hum!
As a result, just as Exterminator Thirteen’s voice rang out, a blue light pillar suddenly fell from the sky.
The Blue Light began to spread on the ground, turning into a Card Table mode.
"Triggered a PVE?"
Ree Shil’s originally stiff body regained its freedom.
Looking back, he saw Exterminator Thirteen still suspended in mid-air, probably in the middle of a jumping motion.
Card positions began to appear, and the card positions seemed quite balanced this time, with both sides having 6+1.
However, unlike previous PVE matches, he found that Contestant 285 was not frozen like a PVE monster.
Instead, he was still sizing up the empty card positions.
And then, the two stared at each other.
"Huh? Card player?"x2
Both spoke in unison.
