Free Web NovelChapter 226: Chapter 90: [Martial Arts Monkey]_2
"No, don’t eat me!"
[Chirp squeak!]
However, when they were about two kilometers away from Tree Disk Town, they suddenly heard someone shouting.
"Someone is in danger, let’s hurry up!"
Sisi took the lead and ran towards the source of the shouting.
The incident site wasn’t far off, and they arrived on the scene in a short while.
A grasshopper man, walking upright, was being chased by a monkey whose entire body had turned purple as a result of a corruption disease outbreak.
This monkey had long limbs. Although it was suffering from the corruption disease, its facial features looked dull, making it seem somewhat adorable.
"Mr. Grasshopper!"
Sisi recognized him at a glance as a resident of the small town.
"Sisi?! Please! Hurry and save me!"
Upon seeing Sisi, Mr. Grasshopper was overjoyed.
"Let me handle this! Cute Mushroom!"
Mossy Mushroom rushed out bravely.
Buzz!
The blue light pillar hit, unfolding the card table.
Since Mossy Mushroom was keen on gunning for a challenge, Ree Shil and Andrew Hill did not make a move, leaving it to face the situation by itself.
But this didn’t stop them from watching the battle.
Soon, the four mushroom cards from Mossy Mushroom’s deck were in place.
He had seen most of its cards before, so he wasn’t particularly interested.
Poof!
[Chirp squeak!]
What caught his attention, however, was the monkey.
[Martial Fighting Monkey]
Balance, Attack 50, 300/300
[Penetrating Power-Passive]: Martial Fighting Monkey’s direct attacks come with half [Penetration]
[Passive Expert-Passive]: Martial Fighting Monkey cannot [Defend], but direct attack damage is reduced by 10
[Monkey Fist Counterattack-Passive]: When Martial Fighting Monkey is directly attacked, it immediately executes a direct attack on the target at 50% capacity.
This card, was undeniably a good one.
A card that was good enough to make Ree Shil’s heart skip a beat.
All three skills were of top quality.
Although it couldn’t [Defend], it was very apt for the position of the first row cards.
Anyone wanting to attack it, would have to be prepared to get hurt.
Such cards, which would inflict damage on the opponent when they themselves receive damage, are called Hedgehog Cards.
The [Martial Fighting Monkey] in front of him was a typical defensive counterattack Hedgehog Card, a top-tier Hedgehog Card.
What’s more, this card was tagged with the Kung Fu Card Set label.
His current Kung Fu Card Set includes [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit][Sword Dance Girl][Three Demons of Martial Hall]. If he could add the [Martial Fighting Monkey], it would be his fourth card.
He had the chance to create a complete Kung Fu Deck.
Thinking this, he decided to join the Card Game.
Buzz!
The newcomer joined, and his deck was displayed, but he could only take actions in the next turn.
"I won’t obstruct you, just hitching a boost."
When confronted with Mossy Mushroom’s questioning gaze, that was how Ree Shil responded.
Hitching a boost, to improve the probability of [Martial Fighting Monkey] appearing in the card pool.
A single [Martial Fighting Monkey] wasn’t strong. Under the attack of Mossy Mushroom’s 3+1 mushroom cards, it would soon be defeated.
In the last round, Mossy Mushroom gave the opportunity to finish it off to Ree Shil.
Because it didn’t think about the issue of [Martial Fighting Monkey] entering the card pool.
Even if it did, it probably wouldn’t be able to draw it.
Even if it could draw it, it might turn into something like a [Mushroom Fighting Monkey].
Its card drawing strategy was all about double random chance: random drawing + random mushroomization.
"I really can’t thank you enough, Sisi."
After the monkey was knocked down, Mr. Grasshopper immediately came forward to thank them.
"Mr. Grasshopper, why are you here?"
In Sisi’s memory, he was a resident who would never leave the small town.
"Ah, don’t even mention it."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Grasshopper heaved a sigh, then advised, "I suggest you better not go back."
What he described next left Sisi in shock.
They had only been away for a few days, but the small town had already experienced an outbreak of corruption disease.
About 1/3 of the residents, all had contracted the corruption disease.
The current way of dealing with patients of the corruption disease was to isolate them.
And they had to be isolated individually.
Otherwise, if someone had an outbreak, other patients would definitely get hurt.
One-third of the residents were sick. Obviously, the prison cells of the Guard Team were not enough.
So, Captain Palin had no choice but to order the sick residents to stay in their homes and not go out.
Only those who had severe illnesses and frequent outbreaks would be locked up in the town jail.
"Has the situation become so serious..."
Sisi looked stunned, as if she couldn’t believe it.
"So, Mr. Grasshopper, where are you going now?" freewebnøvel.coɱ
Mossy Mushroom asked him.
"I really can’t stay in the town anymore, every day I have to live in fear of being attacked."
"You out-of-town guests probably don’t know, but my job is being a teacher at the only primary school in the small town."
"Yesterday, a first grade student had an outbreak, he actually pinned me to the ground and started beating me up, can you believe it?"
Mr. Grasshopper seemed a bit humiliated, after all, he was also an adult being beaten by a child is quite the scenario.
"Furthermore, besides worrying about being attacked, we have to worry about getting sick."
"With the current situation in the small town, it feels like the probability of getting sick is even higher than in the wild."
"So, I plan to run away to Tree Disk Town next door."
He revealed the reason why he was here.
"But with your thin arms and legs, I guess you won’t make it to the other small town before you’re crushed by the corrupted species in the wilderness."
Ree Shil spoke frankly.
"Yes, yes, ah haha..."
Mr. Grasshopper gave an awkward laugh when he heard this.
"Captain Palin had already set the time, saying he would personally lead a team to escort us to the neighboring town."
"But I couldn’t wait, I wanted to set off earlier and find some peace of mind."
