Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 345: Chapter 129: Special Physiological Structure_3

At this time, Ree Shil finally saw Straw Man.

"You’re here, Grass."

At this moment, the guy was lying on the ground, looking listless, as if there was nothing worth living for.

When Ree Shil saw his state, he immediately understood what was going on.

This guy probably ran out of milk tea, causing low blood sugar.

A hungry Straw Man would have a combat power that might be even lower than a Mossy Mushroom’s.

No wonder they couldn’t escape. Without Straw Man’s combat power, they might end up being killed if the demon monster outside discovered them.

Moreover, they probably didn’t even have B-Class Cards. Generally, C-Class Cards wouldn’t necessarily be able to ensure victory against the Knife Demons and Sword Demons if they didn’t have any monster-slaying methods.

"What’s the situation with this place? It’s like a cave."

After looking around for a while, Ree Shil discovered that this hill was somewhat unusual, as it was actually hollow inside.

There was a strange glowing object like a bubble placed against the wall. It seemed to be someone’s card, being used to provide illumination.

"Shush."

But the Mossy Mushroom gestured for him not to talk.

Ree Shil frowned but stayed silent.

Just like that, everyone stood quietly in the cave for a while.

Just when he was about to lose his patience and ask, he suddenly heard voices from outside approaching from far away.

[Clang! Clang!]

[Clang! Clang! Clang!]

[Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!]

That noise, he had heard it before. They were the distinctive calls of the metal demon beasts.

In no time, those sounds came right up to the entrance of the cave.

And more and more gathered together, making the sound more and more prominent.

As time went on, the number of sounds kept increasing.

There were so many that Ree Shil couldn’t estimate how many demon beasts there were outside; he thought there might be hundreds.

Now he understood why they needed to keep quiet. If they were discovered, they’d be able to return home and take a hot bath and order takeout within a few minutes.

This situation persisted for nearly half an hour before the demon beasts outside slowly dispersed.

"Around this time every day, these demon beasts gather outside," Slime Creature explained before Ree Shil could ask. "But they never come in, so it’s still very safe in here, bloop."

"As for the reason why they gather here, we don’t know."

"It feels like they’re attracted to something while also harboring some kind of reverence."

After saying that, Mossy Mushroom shrugged.

"Is there anything strange inside the cave?"

Ree Shil took another careful look around and found nothing unusual in the cave.

"Well... if you say that, there is one thing."

Mossy Mushroom was the first one who fell down.

"When I fell, there was a glowing metal shard in the cave."

"That thing is extremely sharp and even cut my butt."

While saying that, it showed the injury on its back to Ree Shil.

At the bottom of its back, there really was a wound that hadn’t yet healed.

"Are you sure it’s not your... eye?"

Ree Shil recalled a saying about a knife cutting someone’s butt or something like that.

"Of course not! Cute Mushroom!"

"Mushroom People excrete through their belly buttons!"

Mossy Mushroom knew what he was thinking and seemed annoyed.

"... "

Having spent so much time with Mossy Mushroom, Ree Shil learned for the first time that its physiology worked like that.

"You might as well just admit that the cut was your eye."

However, from a human perspective, excreting through the belly button was quite disgusting.

"Enough about that, where’s that metal shard you mentioned?"

In fact, he wasn’t too concerned about the mushroom person’s physiology.

Because just like Straw Man and Slime Creature, it wasn’t something that could be understood through human logic.

"I felt that the thing might be special, so I hid it to avoid losing it."

Mossy Mushroom walked to Straw Man, opened its head, and took out a metal shard about 1/3 the size of a palm.

"... Hiding it there, weren’t you afraid of cutting Straw Man’s brain?"

"Where does it have a brain? I don’t even have one."

"What are you talking about? I’ll hit you, Grass."

While talking, Ree Shil took the shard.

As Mossy Mushroom said, it emitted a strange metallic light.

Looking at it, it didn’t seem sharp.

So he tried to touch it with his fingertip.

"Tsk."

Unexpectedly, just before he touched it, a sharp aura suddenly burst out from the object.

The aura sliced through his fingertip, causing blue light liquid to flow out.

Feeling the pain in his finger, Ree Shil instinctively flicked the object onto the ground.

"Be careful, this thing can cut people."

Mossy Mushroom showed its back to him again.

"Damn, why didn’t you say that earlier?"

Ree Shil wanted to say something, but suddenly felt a warmth in his right arm.

Looking down, he saw that the tattoo of Sword Soul Wood was glowing.

And the color of the light seemed to match the metal shard on the ground, didn’t it?

Could it be a sword fragment with a Sword Spirit hidden inside?

In an instant, Ree Shil thought of something.

[Who... awakened me...]

The next second, the metal shard on the ground emitted a voice-like noise.

Immediately afterward, a vague human figure emerged from the surface of the fragment.

However, it was obscured by the halo, so he could only see an indistinct human shape.

"No way, there’s really a Sword Spirit?"

This situation made Ree Shil raise an eyebrow.

The figure stood in the cave and looked around.

In the end, its gaze seemed to fall on Slime Creature.

[What a perfect body]

[May I... borrow it?]

"Eh, bloop?"

Slime Creature was startled.

But before they could react, the figure turned into a beam of light and entered Slime Creature’s body.

With a smack, Slime Creature’s body seemed unable to withstand the force and exploded on the spot.

But Slime Creature wasn’t as lucky this time to leave enough fragments, and its remaining fragments were gradually turning into blue light and dispersing.

[Ding!]

[Slime Creature, OUT!]

Mossy Mushroom: "I was just saying earlier that it felt like something was missing in our process."

Straw Man: "Game start, Grass!"

Ree Shil: "..." ƒreewebɳovel.com
