Mythical Card Maker: Starting with the Mountain Spirit

Chapter 7: Rock Split Soldiers and Rotten Infant Mother Body

"Sister Chuchu? What brings you here?"

Lin Mo was somewhat surprised.

The two hadn't been in contact for a while, and besides, it was late at night, so unless it was an emergency, they generally wouldn't bother each other.

Fang Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Mo, quickly went into the house, closed the door behind her, and said urgently:

"The Black Tide has spread to the vicinity of our community. Lin Mo, you don't have any cards yet, so it's too dangerous for you to stay here any longer. Come to my place for a while."

Lin Mo felt a warmth in his heart, and his tense emotions softened.

After a slight hesitation, he briefly explained how he had just dealt with a low-level aberration.

Fang Chuchu felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this, but was also happy that Lin Mo had become a card maker.

Just then, both of their phones vibrated simultaneously. It was a group message from the Ping'an Community residents' group, sent by personnel from the Wushan City Emergency Management Bureau:

[Urgent Notice! Due to the spread of the Kuroshio Current, signs of mutants have appeared in this community. All residents are urged to evacuate immediately and seek refuge at the nearest shelter!]

[Urgent Notice! Due to the spread of the Kuroshio Current, signs of mutants have appeared in this community. All residents are urged to evacuate immediately and seek refuge at the nearest shelter!]

"It was sent three times in a row. It seems the situation is more serious than I thought..."

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, then looked at Fang Chuchu: "This neighborhood is no longer safe. Let's go to the third shelter first!"

Fang Chuchu nodded.

The two quickly packed up, took a few personal belongings, and hurriedly left.

Many residents were already running downstairs in a panic in the stairwell, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of fear.

As soon as I stepped out of the apartment building, I encountered a young man with a buzz cut wearing a black trench coat.

The young man was around twenty years old, with a resolute face, a calm expression, and a capable and cold aura. Upon seeing Lin Mo and Fang Chuchu, he immediately spoke in a familiar manner:

"Are you also heading to the shelter?"

Lin Mo nodded, his expression wary: "Who are you?"

"My name is Lu Yan, and I just joined the Wushan City Public Security Bureau."

The young man spoke calmly, producing a token engraved with the "Wushan City Public Security Bureau" logo, and continued:

"There are deformed creatures roaming around outside, it's too dangerous to walk alone. Let's travel together, so we can look out for each other on the way."

Lin Mo pondered for a moment. The other party's aura was upright, and he had no ill intentions. Moreover, his identity as a member of the Public Security Bureau was credible enough.

He immediately exchanged a glance with Fang Chuchu and agreed.

The three of them said no more, kept their bodies low, and cautiously made their way towards the shelter.

Along the way, Lu Yan gave a brief introduction to the current situation.

The situation in Kiriyama City is not optimistic. The Kuroshio Current is spreading very rapidly, and abnormal variants have appeared in many surrounding communities.

The Card Master Alliance is severely understaffed and has no choice but to evacuate the residents.

Just as the three of them reached the entrance of the residential area, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the bushes beside them.

It was a swollen, translucent uterus-like sac, about two meters in diameter, with the outlines of multiple fetuses floating inside visible on its surface, emitting a nauseating, putrid odor.

Below the sac hung the face of an aged woman, her skin wrinkled like withered tree bark, her eyes cloudy and white.

Its lips opened and closed repeatedly, its forked tongue lolling out, making strange "hoarse" sounds.

Wherever the saliva dripped, tiny black bubbles instantly appeared on the ground, and the grass and trees withered instantly.

"Be careful!"

Lu Yan's expression changed, and with a flick of his wrist, a card with a dark green border appeared in his hand.

Card Name: [Rockbreaker Soldier]

Rank: Outstanding Person

Type: Vanguard/Summoner/Spell Card

Spirituality: Excellent, dark green trim, black iron

Star rating: ★★

characteristic:

[Rugged Physique] Years of battles have forged a resilient physique, resulting in a slight reduction in the damage received.

[Unyielding Fighting Spirit] After each attack hits an enemy, your attack speed gains a brief, slight boost.

skill:

[Rock Cleave] Swing the iron sword at your waist, there is a chance to inflict an "Armor Break" effect on the target (briefly reduces the target's defense by a small amount).

【Resist】Tighten muscles for a short time to gain a small defense bonus, during which your movement speed is slightly reduced. The duration is short.

With a flash of dazzling light, an ancient soldier dressed in black armor and wielding an iron sword appeared.

"superior!"

This was accompanied by a low shout from Lu Yan.

The soldiers of the Cracked Rocks leaped into the air, wielding their iron swords and slashing heavily at the [Mother of the Rotten Infants] before them.

However, the [mother body of the rotten infant] may seem bulky, but it is actually incredibly flexible.

With a slight sidestep, he avoided the attack.

Before the soldiers of the Cracked Rock Soldier could sheathe their swords, the [Rotten Infant Mother] let out a strange cry, and several umbilical cords with suction cups extended from its body and wrapped around his ankles.

The armor of the rock-cracked soldiers was instantly corroded with holes by the acid from their umbilical cords.

Lu Yan made a decisive decision and ordered the soldiers of Lieyan to cut the umbilical cord.

However, there were simply too many umbilical cords to cut them all; one after another, they would appear, and there was no way to cut them all.

In no time, it was bound together with a dense bundle of umbilical cords, turning it into a rice dumpling.

"It's over!"

Lu Yan's face turned pale. His card was only a Black Iron II-star, no match for this mutated version.

It was clear that the rock-cracked soldiers were about to be dragged into the sac by the dense umbilical cords and corroded away.

In the critical moment, Lin Mo flipped his right hand, and the card [Nine Songs - Mountain Spirit] instantly appeared.

As spiritual energy was continuously poured into it, the mountain spirit's figure solidified completely.

With a wave of her hand, she unleashed a torrent of rich, azure spiritual energy that shot out like arrows, instantly severing the umbilical cords binding the rock-cracked soldiers.

Before the [mother of the rotten infant] could react, the mountain spirit lightly waved her wide sleeves.

Another vine formed from spiritual energy appeared out of thin air and instantly wrapped around the body of the [Corrupted Infant Mother].

The force was so great that it bound him firmly to the spot.

The rotten infant mother struggled frantically, but was unable to break free.

Immediately afterwards, the mountain spirit pointed with its fingertip.

One after another, short daggers formed from spiritual energy shot towards the [Corrupted Infant Mother]'s sac, riddling it with holes.

With a "bang," the body of the [Corrupted Infant Mother] crashed to the ground, instantly losing its breath.

The whole process took only a few breaths.

Lu Yan and Fang Chuchu were completely stunned.

The two stood there, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

"That's incredible!"

After realizing what was happening, Lu Yan's eyes were filled with shock. He quickly walked to Lin Mo's side and asked urgently, "Brother, you...you have a perfect-grade source card?"

Lin Mo nodded, offering no further explanation, and put away the card: "Let's leave first, it's not safe here."

"good!"

Lu Yan snapped out of his daze, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Lin Mo. He quickly nodded, "Boss, thank goodness you were here, otherwise we would have been in danger today!"

The three of them didn't dare to delay and quickened their pace, heading towards the third shelter.

Next, they encountered several more mutants, all of which were easily dealt with by the Mountain Spirit.

Lu Yan went from being shocked at the beginning to gradually becoming numb.

He realized that the card in Lin Mo's hand was far more powerful than he had imagined.
