Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 221: Chapter 88: The Cause of Ree Shil’s Illness_3

"Err, I thought you were joking at the time."

Mossy Mushroom rubbed the back of his head, admitting he hadn’t given it much thought at the time.

Back then, just after Ree Shil had arrived, he had taken Mossy Mushroom’s sheet to wrap himself with and drank Straw Man’s milk tea out of thirst and hunger.

Then he was chased around the neighborhood in turns by both of them.

In the end, Mossy Mushroom and Straw Man both ended up exhausted, while Ree Shil was still full of energy.

After they got to know each other, Mossy Mushroom asked him about this, and this was his explanation. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Well, I contracted a strange illness in the Primordial World."

Seeing the questioning look on the faces across from him, Ree Shil decided to explain further: "The strange illness... was suddenly having a second heart on the right."

"But it’s strange, at the time that second heart was seriously affecting my health."

"But after I traveled through, not only did it not affect me anymore, it actually made my stamina twice as strong as before."

After he arrived, he had gone to the hospital for a check-up, but even the doctors couldn’t explain this strange illness.

Anyway, the doctor’s conclusion was that as long as he was fine, he should live his life as best as he could.

Perhaps the two hearts had formed a harmonious relationship now, and abruptly removing or affecting one might do more harm than good.

Ree Shil agreed with what the doctor said, after some time.

Because as time went by, he gradually realized that his mental calculation ability on the card table, his poker psychology and so on, seemed to be much stronger than before he traveled through.

Mossy Mushroom: "So what are you now, a double-hearted person?"

Ree Shil: "It doesn’t matter, call me whatever you like."

Andrew Hill: "Then can you love two people at the same time?"

Ree Shil: "..., a person with only one heart can do that too, loving a few more isn’t a problem."

Mossy Mushroom: "Hearing you say that, does this mean the chances of contracting heart disease has doubled?"

Ree Shil: "What kind of crappy questions are these?"

"Alright, let’s sleep. We have a long way to go tomorrow."

In the end, Ree Shil twitched a corner of his mouth, ending the conversation.

Mossy Mushroom was left to stay up while he went to sleep with Andrew Hill.

At this time, Andrew Hill’s doll costume served a great purpose.

Warm and soft, it was quite comfortable to rest on.

When they woke up, everyone was in good spirits.

Andrew Hill and Mossy Mushroom had swapped shifts in the middle of the night, so both of them had their rest too.

It took them another morning to travel.

They encountered a few waves of Corruption Disease Species along the way, but they easily overcame them.

Finally, as the midday sun hung high in the sky, they saw an entrance to a valley in the distance.

"Let’s stop here for a while."

Sisi raised her hand to signal everyone to stop.

Then she bent down to grab a handful of dirt, held it up to her nose and took a sniff.

"There’s the smell of goose droppings inside, this is already their territory."

After sniffing it, she took a tiny pinch and tasted it. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Ree Shil: "?"

Andrew Hill: "?"

Mossy Mushroom: "Really? Let me taste what flavor it is."

Ree Shil: "..."

Andrew Hill: "..."

There are some Insect Spirits that are naturally coprophagic in nature.

So in this regard, the natives of this world have a pretty wide tolerance.

"Now that we’re here, you should let us know more about Swan Valley."

Ree Shil inquired.

"Yes, I suppose you have heard by now."

"Swan Valley is not called Swan Valley because it looks like it, but because it actually has Big Geese."

"And these Big Geese possess a strong aggressive behavior, which is not even less than that of the Corruption Disease Species."

"The most crucial point is, even if the other species in the vicinity contract the Corruption Disease, their combat strength still couldn’t compare to these Big Geese."

Sisi explained.

"Wow, are they stronger than the Deer Tiger we encountered earlier?"

Mossy Mushroom still remembers the Corruption Disease Species they had encountered that morning.

It was a strange looking creature, with the body of a deer and the head of a tiger, with horns on its head.

Its card was very powerful, and it took three of her Mushroom Headline District cards to finally bring it down.

"Yes, the Big Goose is even more powerful than the Deer Tiger, and furthermore..."

"They are herd animals, all living in this valley."

Sisi’s expression became somewhat grave.

"So, can the Big Goose contract the Corruption Disease?"

Andrew Hill raised a sign.

"I’m not sure about that, because it has been several months since I last came here."

"The last time I was here, they hadn’t shown any symptoms of deterioration."

Sisi recalled for a moment before giving her answer.

"Now, I should mention the rules for this trip."

"These Big Geese have bad tempers. Anyone who makes eye contact with them, or blocks their way, will be seen as an enemy, even if it’s one of their own kind."

"So remember, after we enter, don’t break their taboos."

"Otherwise, we’ll attract their hostility."

"Huh? Where did he go?"

As Sisi was speaking, she noticed Ree Shil was missing.

"He left a while ago, headed that way →"

Andrew Hill even drew an arrow on the sign.

Sisi looked up, and saw that Ree Shil had almost reached the valley entrance.

"Huh?! When did he go over there?!"

She was taken aback by the sudden revelation.

"Probably around the time you said ’Corruption Disease Species couldn’t match regular Big Geese’."

Andrew Hill erased it and wrote new words.

"We can’t allow this! Let’s go stop him!"

Sisi immediately looked worried.

If this was the case, didn’t that mean Ree Shil hadn’t heard her mention the points of caution?

However, before they had gone far, they saw Ree Shil’s figure disappear into the valley entrance.

Humm!

Immediately following, a blue light pillar descended.

The unfolding of a card table would not freeze the entire world’s time and space, just within a small range.

At this point, Sisi and the others weren’t close enough to enter the frozen range yet.

But when they were about to enter the frozen area...

Humm!

Another light pillar shot upwards into the sky from below.

Sisi didn’t understand what this meant, yet Mossy Mushroom and Andrew Hill exchanged a glance.

Sure enough, when they reached the valley entrance, they saw Ree Shil standing there.

In front of him, a white Big Goose, the size of an elephant, lay on the ground:

X_X

"This...this...this...!"

Sisi was stammering.

A one-on-one real man showdown where he dropped the Big Goose?

She realized she had underrated his combat strength.

"..."

At this time, Ree Shil was looking deep into the valley, furrowing his brow.

This Swan Valley... was exceptional.
