Chronicle said, and then put his hand on his belt.

 

According to the mythology of Huaxia, these gods and monsters are most afraid of dirt.

 

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Jiao's Taoism was broken by the Han army with things like black dog blood.

 

"If you don't come out like this, then I'll count you as powerful," Chronicle thought, about to do something.

 

The stone statue sitting in the temple moved its eyes.

 

Ying Tai, seeing this, instinctively drew his bow and arrow, pulled it hard, and instantly activated it.

 

The arrow, wrapped in rich blood light and dazzling runes, went straight to the stone carving's forehead.

 

After a moment, there was a "crack" sound, and dark red blood flew out, and the shattered stones splashed.

 

The 【Cinian Mountain Maiden】 pierced through the forehead by the arrow, looked deeply at Ying Tai, as if to imprint her appearance on her soul, and then closed her eyes.

 

After a moment, a light group that jumped back and forth between leaf green and earth yellow slowly floated out from the wound.

 

Chronicle saw this and decisively took out a blank card.

 

Using mental power as a guide, he encapsulated the small 【Mountain God Divine Fragment】 into the card as a material.

 

【Mountain God Divine Fragment (4%)】

 

This four percent does not mean that there are only twenty-five such fragments in the whole world.

 

It means that as long as twenty-five such fragments are collected, the mountain god's divine power on a card can be filled.

 

But from what Chronicle knows, it seems that no one has filled the divine power so far.

 

Either the card's quality is low and cannot withstand the high concentration of divine power;

 

Or the ability and channels are limited, and it is difficult to obtain so many divine power materials;

 

Or the card's compatibility with the divine power is average, raising the divine power too high, which conflicts with one's own abilities…

 

There are many similar reasons, but from Chronicle's memory, if the divine power concentration can be raised to seventy to eighty percent, that would be the limit.

 

"Their stories are self-made, absorbing divine power is equivalent to creating something out of nothing, gaining a new power."

 

"And my story comes from mythology, absorbing fragments is equivalent to regaining past power and authority."

 

"One gains, the other regains, my upper limit is higher, isn't it excessive?"

 

Chronicle smiled.

 

Just this piece of divine power fragment, he didn't know how much luck it took him.

 

If he fills the progress, he's afraid he'll be hit by a mud truck again.

 

Thinking of this, he couldn't laugh.

 

After shaking his head, he put away Ying Tai and Eight Master, leaving Seven Brothers to guard, and put Zongzi Brother's body and coffin aside.

 

Then he sat down and looked at the Mountain Ghost Coin hanging around his neck.

 

According to the instructions on the panel, when the Mountain Ghost Coin enters the 【Resonance】 state, as long as it is integrated with the 【Mountain God Divine Fragment】, a standalone card can be created without materials.

 

And this card, without a doubt, will be the 【Mountain Ghost】.

 

Recalling the mountain ghost shadow he had previously summoned using the Mountain Ghost Coin as a medium, with its huge and sturdy figure, just one whip could knock down evil spirits, as if it were Qin Qiong or Wei Chi Gong.

 

Chronicle couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

 

Does he really need a main c (main output, team spirit)?

 

In his current team, Seven Brothers provides magical output; Eight Master can perform physical transcendence; Zongzi Brother acts as a tank; Ying Tai is a roaming shooter.

 

And the newly joined General Zeng is a combination of magic, physical, and control.

 

In this situation, their team is actually a bit excessive in terms of output.

 

"It's time for some support," Chronicle thought, stroking his chin.

 

As a gradually mature card craftsman, he can actually make subtle adjustments to the positioning of the completed card to a certain extent.

 

But this is based on the premise that the card spirit has multiple sources of information.

 

For example.

 

If he wants to create the card of Meng Po, he can present completely different card effects by choosing different background stories and card images.

 

Is it the heavenly old lady who can do reconnaissance and is capable of yin and yang, the weeping Meng Jiangnv who can perform strong spell attacks, or the incarnation of the supreme god with a very high upper limit.

 

It's just a thought away.

 

The mountain ghost also has many origins.

 

In addition to the upright and inviolable mountain god setting, there are also various legends of goddesses, spirits, and more.

 

"So as long as I add information and draw closer to the latter in the card image, it should work," Chronicle, who has always been very proactive, thought and acted.

 

With the idea in mind, he immediately sat cross-legged, holding the Mountain Ghost Coin and the divine fragment in his hand, his consciousness ascended, and soon arrived in that vast white world.

 

【Nurturing spirits in the mountains, possessing unimaginable power and appearance, holding the authority of the mountain god.】

 

【And because they have not been conferred by the Emperor of Heaven, they can only be named as ghosts, that is: mountain ghosts.】

 

As Chronicle finished writing, the two words 【Mountain Ghost】 instantly burst into light.

 

Seeing this, he dipped his hand in spirit liquid and continued to write:

 

【Legend has it that she lives in the mountains, rides on tigers and leopards, and is a beautiful, frank, and affectionate goddess.】

 

【Qu Yuan wrote in the song "Nine Songs" for the sacrifice to the gods: If there is someone in the mountains, with ivy and maidenhair. Both shy and charming, admiring me, good-looking and graceful…】

 

【With thirteen beautiful and exquisite sentences, he described a love story about ghosts and gods.】

 

【It is said that the mountain ghost made an appointment to meet in the mountains with the person she loved, but when a sudden storm came, the person did not arrive.】

 

【She did not return home either, and was desolate in the thunderous and rainy mountains.】"The other party was late due to the heavy rain, and he didn't find a place to take shelter from the rain. He just waited in the water. This story…"

 

As Chronicle spoke, he cast his gaze on the slowly floating Black Osiris card in the air.

 

As if sensing his gaze, the Eighth Lord flickered the card and hid it in the clouds.

 

This posture couldn't help but remind Chronicle of the times before he crossed over, when he would play cat and mouse with the brats who wanted to play with his phone every New Year, it was really annoying.

 

"Wow, the brat is actually me."

 

Chronicle couldn't help but chuckle. After laughing for a while, he began to write:

 

【She has the aura and mystery of a god, as well as the complex emotions of a human. She feels sad about the passing of time and being stood up by a lover.】

 

【Therefore, the mountain ghost is also considered to be the goddess of Mount Wu, representing the emotions of women.】

 

【The poet Yuan Zhen used the line "The sea is difficult to be water, except for Mount Wu, it is not a cloud" to refer to the loyalty in love.】

 

【No one else, only love.】

 

After writing these eight characters, Chronicle thought for a moment, and made some minor adjustments to the text, focusing on the description of the abilities such as gathering herbs, longevity, and gathering fog. He also wrote "Nine Songs · Mountain Ghost" from beginning to end.

 

In fact, before crossing over, he only glanced at this song a few times and listened to it a few times.

 

Under normal circumstances, he definitely wouldn't remember it all.

 

But as his mental power increased, something like a memory palace and a partitioned library gradually formed in his mind, making it convenient to access this information at any time.

 

Fast and accurate.

 

"Alright."

 

After a simple adjustment, Chronicle began to depict the image of the mountain ghost on the card.

 

Soon, under his brush, a lady with golden earrings, draped in ivy, and wearing a skirt, appeared vividly on the paper.

 

She sat on the green stone in the mountains, both charming and smiling, with colorful flowers and a red-haired tiger and leopard by her side.

 

The clear spring in the mountain stream flowed gently, and the grass and flowers flourished, with wild animals following and birds circling.

 

But her gaze did not linger on these beautiful scenes, instead, her eyes were deep and seemed to be peering through the card, spying on her lover.

 

"Tired."

 

After a long time, Chronicle shook his somewhat numb hand.

 

Having painted many scenes of the underworld, it was really not easy to polish a beautiful landscape painting of a lady.

 

Fortunately, with so many beautiful pictures from before crossing over as a reference, he finally managed to create it.

 

"Not bad."

 

Chronicle nodded in satisfaction and quickly began the card drawing work.

 

With the completion of this final step, a wave surged in his mind.

 

In a daze, Chronicle seemed to have arrived in a mountainous place.

 

All around were misty mountains, ancient trees, colorful flowers, and roaming birds and animals.

 

The sound of clear springs, the cries of apes, the rustling of the wind, and the falling rain filled his ears.

 

At this moment, as if sensing something, he subconsciously turned his head and met a pair of smiling and charming eyes.

 

The next moment, the illusion dissipated.

 

Card creation successful.

 

A massive amount of information rushed into his mind:

(Divinity skills can be added or enhanced by continuing to fuse divinity fragments.)

 

"Wow, this 【Growth】 skill is quite something. Plants vs. Zombies? I should try it out with Zongzi Brother when I have the chance.""[Ballad] Add shield, [Revival] restore stamina, clear debuffs, [Mountain Mist] create environment, divine power can trigger cataclysmic attacks."

 

"As for this divine skill…"

 

Chronicle stroked his chin, murmuring, "To obtain the authority of a deity… What form would that take? A raise of my hand, and beasts run amok? A stomp of my foot, and the earth trembles?"

 

"Let's leave it for now, I'll give it a try when I have the chance."

 

Chronicle shook his head as he thought, feeling exhausted from the beautiful landscape painting he had just seen.

 

Fortunately, the feedback from creating the [Nine Songs·Mountain Ghost] card rejuvenated him in an instant.

 

"It's time to go back, cut down mountains, build temples, and establish my spirit."

 

Chronicle thought to himself and silently chanted to return.

 

In the blink of an eye, he was back to reality.

 

The sky was now dim, the dark blue heavens like an inverted bowl, covering the endless peach groves and mountains.

 

Sticky Rice Brother was still "fast asleep," while Seven Brothers sat cross-legged on a huge rock, with the Ghost Banner laid horizontally on his knees, the white silk fluttering in the wind.

 

Sensing Chronicle's gaze, Seven Brothers instantly opened his eyes and lightly tapped a card beside him.

 

Clearly, during the time Chronicle was creating cards, quite a few evil spirits and monsters had been attracted by the "scent of humans" and had been turned into materials by Seven Brothers.

 

"Thanks, Seven Brothers."

 

Chronicle sincerely expressed his gratitude.

 

Seven Brothers just chuckled and shook his head.

 

Then he closed his eyes again and sat in meditation.

 

He had broken through to three stars some time ago, and after continuous battles and ghost-catching to the point of exhaustion, his experience was nearly maxed out.

 

Preparing in advance now would make it easier for future breakthroughs.

 

Although he had a gentle and warm personality, as the eldest brother of the team, he didn't want to be easily surpassed by newcomers.

 

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stand at the forefront, bearing the greatest dangers for Chronicle and the younger brothers and sisters in the team.

 

With his current, not-so-high spirituality, he truly didn't wish for that.

 

"Ah, I almost forgot, Mountain Ghost can also bind a tiger or leopard card."

 

Chronicle slapped his forehead and placed the newly acquired [Charm White Forehead Tiger] together with [Nine Songs·Mountain Ghost].

 

Moments later, a crackling sound of fine thunder was heard, and the two cards merged into one.

 

On the card, the fierce beast lying beside the Mountain Ghost changed from a crimson leopard to a white-foreheaded tiger with hanging eyes:

 

[Charm White Forehead Tiger] (Bound)

Introduction: Once a man eaten by a tiger; now a ghost; thus serves the tiger.

 

Advancement Direction: [Gathering Yin White Forehead Ghost Tiger] (Purple)

"Alright, time to build the temple."

 

Chronicle naturally wouldn't waste time on such a meaningless card.

 

Seeing that there was still some time before nightfall, he moved out the broken statue of the Compassionate Mountain Maiden and started to remodel it.

 

The promise to the others was fulfilled, from ten thousand a day to eight thousand starting tomorrow.
