"Chronicle, let him go. I have talked to the people above."

 

On top of the old house roof in Shunchang Ancient Street, the cellphone in Chronicle's pocket suddenly vibrated.

 

After quickly scanning the message sent by Wang Jindong, he signaled Baye and "Knife Flag Old Dao" to release the other party.

 

"Wow, this Dao Lord's strength is incredible."

 

Chen Mang rubbed his shoulder that was pressed by the Old Dao, grimacing in pain.

 

Although the Old Dao only placed his hand on his shoulder without exerting any force, the Yin Qi released by the Red Star Seven-Star Demon, even though it was constant, was still something that a small fry like him, a Golden-level rookie, couldn't bear.

 

It was already quite extraordinary that he didn't collapse immediately; it was different from an ordinary person.

 

"Brother, the person behind you is not simple. Even this Dao Lord, I estimate, has an orange-quality."

 

Chen Mang said, then turned his head to look at the Green-Faced Old Dao who was staring at him intently, subconsciously taking a few steps to the side.

 

His foot happened to touch Niu Chuang, who was lying on the roof tiles in the shape of the character "大".

 

This guy was really bold. Even though he had just experienced such a terrifying situation and had been bitten by Zongzi several times, he could still snore loudly.

 

This was also thanks to the "Land of Peach's Moral Benchmark" Chronicle's "act of kindness", which made Zongzi take back the canine teeth containing corpse poison.

 

In his words, this was called "sustainable development of blood supply".

 

With such a good physique, if he were put in a coffin, wouldn't he be a perfect mobile power station?

 

The more regrettable thing was that the other party seemed to be "one of us", and his "Blood Supplement Plan at Any Time" was directly bankrupt.

 

"Ah."

 

Thinking of this, Chronicle couldn't help but sigh.

 

At the same time, a paper pigeon wrapped in orange light stumbled and flapped its wings, flying over.

 

Although the rain had stopped for nearly ten minutes, the air was still filled with extremely dense moisture.

 

Therefore, almost the moment it landed in Chen Mang's hand, the small and delicate paper pigeon quickly "collapsed".

 

Fortunately, the information on it was imprinted by Bai Longfei using spiritual power and would not be dampened by the moisture.

 

Chen Mang held it in his palm and felt it for a moment, then heard Bai Longfei's voice coming from the vast night sky: "Amang, give the two cards I gave you earlier to Chronicle."

 

"Huh?"

 

Chen Mang was stunned at first, then summoned the reserve equipment cards and took out a small sachet from them, handing it to Baye.

 

Baye poured out the contents onto his broad palm, and when he saw the pattern on it clearly, a faint light instantly appeared in his intelligent eyes.

 

Seeing its performance, Chronicle decisively stepped forward and took the two cards from the other party's hand.

 

"【Soul-Devouring Ghost Banner】 and 【Coffin Ascending Immortal Hanging Coffin】…"

 

Chronicle recited the names of the two cards, his eyes brightening.

 

As strands of spiritual power infiltrated the cards, a large amount of card information also surged into his mind:

 

【Soul-Devouring Ghost Banner】

 

Quality: Blue

 

Category: Ghost

 

Card Type: Equipment (Accessory Card)

 

Skills:

 

【Soul-Devouring】: Consume a certain amount of Yin Qi or spiritual power to release the mournful sound of 【Soul-Devouring】, which can cause a certain impact on the enemy's soul.

 

【Gathering Souls】: Consume a large amount of Yin Qi or spiritual power to make spirit-type units within a five-li radius, whose quality and star level are lower than the card spirit's, join our side or turn them into Yin Qi, temporarily enhancing the card spirit's strength and endurance.

 

Entries:

 

【Soul Refining】: The Soul-Devouring Ghost Banner can enhance its own effectiveness and quality by refining evil spirits.

 

【Shaking Souls】: The Soul-Devouring Ghost Banner, filled with eerie ghost energy and entangled by evil spirits, can cause double damage to spirit-type units.

 

【Crying Heaven】: During battle, there is a certain probability of triggering the effect 【Crying Heaven】, and the card spirit will randomly gain a attribute enhancement.

 

【Soul Poison】: The Soul-Devouring Ghost Banner, after being processed by an unknown evil cultivator, contains hidden soul poison. When the card spirit attacks with the banner, there is a certain probability of causing the enemy to enter the 【Lost Soul】 state.

 

Introduction: Oh my god!

 

Matching: Only card spirits equipped with 【White Silk Pole】, 【Mourning Stick】, 【Summoning Soul Banner】, and other equipment cards can use it. After the matching is activated, the card spirit's attack power and ability to control spirit bodies will be enhanced to a certain extent.

 

Advanced: 【Evil Cultivator Crying Tomb Hundred Ghosts Banner】 (Purple) → 【Crying Heaven Mourning Earth Ten Thousand Souls Banner】 (Orange)

 

***

 

【Coffin Ascending Immortal Hanging Coffin】

 

Quality: Blue

 

Category: Corpse/Monster

 

Card Type: Equipment (Accessory Card)

 

Skills:

 

【Blowing the Lamp】: When an enemy living person approaches within a five-meter range of the hanging coffin, a small amount of corpse Qi or spiritual power can be consumed to blow away their 【Protective Soul Fire】.

 

【Sky Flight】: Consume a small amount of corpse Qi or spiritual power to rise into the air, can be used as a vehicle, and can also carry dense corpse Qi to launch an attack on enemy units.

 

【Great Burial】: Consume a certain amount of corpse Qi or spiritual power to summon the illusion of 【Chaotic Burial on the Mountain】, with a high probability of causing units that are not higher in quality and level than the card spirit itself to fall into the 【Fear of Death】 state.

 

Entries:

 

【Corpse Transformation】: When a corpse-type unit lies in the coffin, every forty-nine days, a random body part mutation or enhancement can be activated, such as 【Giant Strength】 right arm, 【Thorn Blade】 fingernails.

 

【Yin Absorption】: When the hanging coffin is suspended in the air, it can automatically absorb the Yin Qi scattered between heaven and earth as a substitute for spiritual power. The storage limit depends on the card spirit's own quality and star level.

 

【Ascending to Immortality】: The hanging coffin automatically absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, transforming it into 【Immortal Spirit Qi】, with a low probability of opening up 【Immortal】-type skills for the card spirit and an extremely low probability of rewriting its advancement path.

 

Introduction: The mountain is high and the cave is dark, the flowing water murmurs. Absorbing the Yin Hanging Coffin, achieving immortality.

 

Accessory: Only for card spirits with initial settings that include categories or characteristics such as "Corpse", "Monster", "Yin Absorption". After activation, the defense and recovery abilities of the card spirit will be significantly enhanced.

 

Advancement: "King's Fall Mountain Ghost Dragon Coffin" (Purple) → "Emperor's Burial Mountain Nine Dragons Coffin" (Orange)

 

Accessory cards, as the name suggests, are equipment cards that can serve as "accessories" for card spirits.

 

Because they are often only used for one or a few types of cards, they are not favored by most Card Craftsmen.

 

However, during major competitions, there will be "Ordinary Card Craftsmen", "Repairers", and "Enhancers" who, in order to achieve better rankings, bring their collected materials and hefty commissions to find Card Craftsmen with good relationships to help customize accessory cards.

 

In a sense, it's a kind of "competition card".

 

Chronicle thought that these cards were somewhat mediocre.

 

The same materials, used to create general equipment cards that are universal for Card Craftsmen and card spirits, are undoubtedly more cost-effective.

 

But this is all based on the premise of crafting cards oneself, which is both costly and resource-consuming.

 

Now that these two cards were given by others, there was naturally no problem at all.

 

Chronicle liked these cards full of friendship (gifts).

 

Every skill and characteristic on the card face was a solid expression of friendship!

 

"Eh, why did he give me cards?"

 

Chronicle scratched his head and temporarily put this question aside.

 

"Summoning Ghost Banner"

 

If he guessed correctly, this was probably the reason why the Eighth Brother's spirit suddenly appeared and he was in a good mood.

 

– This card was clearly for the Seventh Brother, and he was probably happy about his sworn brother's further strength.

 

As for this equipment, aside from the "free card" filter, Chronicle personally thought that this card was quite ordinary.

 

To be precise, there were only two highlights: the "Soul Gathering" skill that enhances the Seventh Brother's endurance, and the "Soul Refining" entry that accelerates his own leveling.

 

Compared to the cards that Chronicle crafted himself, it was far inferior.

 

However, the "Coffin Ascending Immortal Hanging Coffin" card was more interesting.

 

First, there was the "Blow Out the Light" skill that could break the enemy Card Craftsman's defense, followed by the "Flying" skill that allowed the equipment card to be used as a flying vehicle card.

 

The "Corpse Transformation" ability to choose body parts to strengthen also had a bit of the meaning of "zombie mutation" in the end-of-the-world movies before the crossing.

 

But even including these highlights, the most eye-catching part of the entire panel was the "Ascend to Immortality" entry.

 

"Transform 'Immortal Spirit', activate 'Immortal' class skills, rewrite the advancement path…"

 

Chronicle read the various effects of the entry softly, his eyes slightly bright.

 

Although there were restrictions of "low probability" and "extremely low probability" before these effects, as long as there was a possibility of realization, even if it was almost zero, it was a gain for him.

 

"Immortal, Immortal…"

 

Chronicle said the word "Immortal" twice, his mood somewhat complicated:

 

As the only mythological card maker in this world, to this day, he does not have a card that best represents Chinese mythology, the "Immortal" class card.

 

"Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother are gods, not immortals; Ying Tai is a ghost; Zongzi Brother…"

 

Although there are legends about the body not decaying and ascending to immortality in mythology, to be honest, Chronicle did not have the idea of making Zongzi Brother an "Immortal Corpse":

 

If he really wanted an Immortal class card, wouldn't it be better to make an extra one?

 

As an elder of the underworld card group, Zongzi Brother should not join the hustle and bustle of the Immortal Buddha card group.

 

However, this association made Chronicle want to speed up the formation of the mythological card group.

 

"Let's go to the 'Sunset Riverbank' to harvest some materials for money later."

 

Chronicle thought to himself and quietly put away the two cards.

 

Cards like these exclusive accessory cards are both troublesome and laborious to make, and they are only slightly better than advanced card types like field cards and domain cards. Without at least half a month, they can't be ground out.

 

And from the analysis just now, it's clear that these two cards were prepared for Seventh Brother and Zongzi Brother.

 

And these two were his first two summoning cards.

 

"If I remember correctly, the first time I used these two summoning cards in public was on the second day I came to the training base, which was less than half an hour to prepare a 'sudden surprise' for the students of First High School, Second High School, and Peach and Plum."

 

"Unless there's an accident, this person should have noted the public information of my two main battle cards at that time, such as using the Mourning Staff, liking to lie in coffins, etc., and then used this as an anchor to grind out these two cards."

 

"He really… put a lot of thought into it."

 

Chronicle thought to himself, his gaze at Chen Mang also became much friendlier: "Please help me say thanks, I really like these two cards."

 

After saying that, he summoned the "Red and White Collision" card and let it slowly rotate above his palm.

 

As a Card Craftsman, he could greatly reduce the side effects of the Collision for Niu Chuang.

 

For example, the inability to restore the card, palpitations, chills, etc.

 

But for a long time, the beautiful (nightmare) dream turning into a nightmare was inevitable.

 

"Good young man, what's the use of thinking about those things? This is also considered doing good deeds."

 

Chronicle said to himself, dispelling the slight guilt, and then added: "I'm really worthy of being me."

 

Starting tomorrow, the updates will be faster, the rhythm will also speed up, and there will be more exciting points.

 

If you feel it's good, you can leave more comments and recommendation votes.

 

Being offline is too hard, sob.
