When Zhou Chuan opened his eyes, it was already bright.
He patted his stomach and gnawed the bread hungrily.
He felt like he was a ruthless card-making machine. Every day he was either making cards or on his way to make cards, but he still felt very fulfilled.
After all, all his hard work now is for himself, unlike his previous life, when he worked so hard on coding and original paintings, and all the results of his hard work were used to buy a villa and a sports car for his boss's sister-in-law. It's sad just thinking about it.
"We've wasted too much time. It's time to set off."
Zhou Chuan looked at the time and after a simple calculation, he found that he had to set off immediately and not delay too much on the road in order to reach his destination ahead of time.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly called the Heroic Soul Warhorse over, and was almost knocked away by the other party's head-on hit.
"We are Ghost Rider's mount after all, can we not act like a husky?"
Zhou Chuan patted the horse's head helplessly, and then continued on his way. The Seventh and Eighth Masters flew on both sides with sacks on their shoulders, harvesting the little ghosts on both sides as materials like locusts passing through a border.
What Lord Jia brings is not just physical feedback. His arrival makes Zhou Chuan more excited and his mental strength is boosted. Naturally, the strength of the Seventh and Eighth Lords becomes stronger.
The whole process forms a perfect closed loop, which is the advantage of the card maker.
"Hoooo..."
After traveling for a whole day and feeling the whistling night wind, Zhou Chuan looked at the map and found that if nothing unexpected happened, he would reach his destination tomorrow night. This speed of travel was indeed beyond his expectations.
But when I think about it carefully, I did waste my time before.
"It's worth the time to get the cannon!"
He thought to himself and continued to speed up, and finally arrived at a locust tree forest when the waning moon rose completely.
Looking at the wildly growing branches and lush tree crowns not far away, Zhou Chuan couldn't help but frown.
The reason why he was able to see through the disguise of the locust tree spirit was that he heard the heartbeat. More importantly, the locust tree itself is a plant with many strange stories and legends, which naturally arouses people's attention and associations.
According to Shuowen Jiezi, if the word "槐" is broken down, it means "ghost next to a tree".
This explanation is reflected in stories of related themes, producing many classic images, the most famous of which is the tree spirit Grandma in "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Just like people will be attracted when they see a cool talking lizard, as a fan of ancient Chinese mythology and also a beneficiary, Zhou Chuan became extremely careful the moment he saw the forest.
"Wild Fox Forest..."
Zhou Chuan checked the coordinates and actually found the forest on the map.
He vaguely remembered that when he posted a fishing post yesterday, someone seemed to have mentioned this place, but that person obviously did not understand the topography of Dahei Mountain and only told him at the time that he would reach the Wild Fox Forest after walking a few miles.
But in reality, the distance between these two coordinates can be thousands of miles.
But it was normal. After all, apart from the operators of the Card Players' Union and those travelers, who would have nothing better to do than to hang out in the Great Black Mountain? To get the tiger spirit's whip
"Seventh Master, Eighth Master, go search."
Zhou Chuan gave orders and suddenly realized that he seemed to be particularly lacking in offensive skill cards.
For example, in the scene before him, if he had a card with similar power to the Great Mage Liu Xiu, once the card flew out, the whole world would be destroyed. There would be no need for spiritual cards to investigate, he could just push forward all the way.
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that he is not caught by the operators of the Battle Card Master Association.
"So fast?"
Seeing the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master coming back so quickly, Zhou Chuan was a little puzzled, so he took the trouble to enable vision sharing, and then let the two of them go again.
I just discovered that this forest seemed to have just experienced several battles. The locust trees on the ground were all leaning here and there, and the branches were full of marks of burning and axe cuts.
"It seems someone is faster than me."
Zhou Chuan was not surprised by this.
This Wild Fox Forest is a node-like location on the east side of Dahei Mountain. There are many roads passing through it. He had wasted too much time before, so it was not surprising that someone arrived here before him.
"Then let's go."
As Zhou Chuanxin said this, he ordered the Black and White Impermanence to lead the way, while he followed behind on horseback.
After walking for more than half an hour, we finally saw the end of the dark forest.
But he put away his heroic horse at this time, slowed down his pace and walked forward, only to hear waves of discussions:
"What should I do? Another one is dead. Whose turn is it this time?"
"How about... you give it a try?"
"I'm not going in."
"It's too late to take a detour now. We can't just stand there like this, right?"
"I think it's good."
"What a bullshit! You just know how to fool around here! If I don't break your front teeth today, I will write the word "王" upside down!"
"Hey, you're still excited! You keep asking me to go into the tunnel, why the hell don't you go?!"
Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of fighting sounds, and faint voices of people trying to stop fighting could be heard: "Stop fighting!"
After thinking for a while, Zhou Chuan flew up the tree very lightly and watched the scene from high above. He saw two young boys punching and kicking each other, but it was just a lot of noise with little result.
Of the three girls standing next to them, two stood aside with their arms folded, looking as if it had nothing to do with them.
The remaining one, a petite girl, had an anxious look on her face and kept saying things like "everyone should unite", but if you looked closely, you could see that her eyes were full of cunning.
Zhou Chuan smiled with interest and glanced at the two boys who were fighting. He saw that the two guys did not forget to exchange glances during the fight. It was obvious that they were acting so that the three girls could enter the tunnel.
These guys are really all great actors.
"interesting."
Zhou Chuan smiled, jumped down from the tree, and walked to the side of the tunnel. When the five people heard the sound, they stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.
"Are you... Zhou Chuan from Long Province?"
One of the boys with a buzz cut directly called out his name, and the other four obviously recognized him as well.
Those who can make it to the finals are either from so-called aristocratic families or talented people who have been heavily invested in by local associations. They all have general information about the players in this game.
It would be fine if it was just other people, but as the only player in the Ghost Battle who was highlighted in red, Zhou Chuan was known to everyone.
Including the "myth" of him making two cards in one day, one purple and one blue, in the semi-finals two days ago, which spread throughout the circle of "top scorers" in this year's college entrance examination just a few minutes after the end of the game.
Everyone reacted differently to the emergence of this dark horse, but no one thought that his momentum was just a flash in the pan.
If it was just a blue or purple card, it could be considered a coincidence. After all, before this outburst, Zhou Chuan was considered one of the best among his peers.
But the current situation is that he has created two, three, or even four or five good cards. Who dares to say that this is a coincidence
To sum it up in one sentence, this person has the potential to take off!
And such a big shot should take the lead in exploring the tunnel.
Thinking of this, the five of them smiled.
