Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 142 Defending Against the Enemy
When the members of the Demon Hunter Alliance saw Cao Yuxiang's team, they guessed that their captain would do this.

Upon hearing their captain's order, they immediately activated their cards and charged towards the people of Seven Star Fortress.

The people of Seven Star Fortress resisted in frustration.

Of the thirty-odd members of the Demon Hunter Alliance, eight were advanced Card Spirit Masters, while the rest were intermediate Card Spirit Masters and martial artists.

The two teams clashed, and Seven Star Fortress was clearly no match for the Demon Hunter Alliance.

Seeing the scene descend into chaos, Xie Yuchen, not wanting to lose his ally, summoned a mid-level Golden Bell Shield and shouted to Cao Yuxiang from afar, "Captain Cao, catch!"

Cao Yuxiang was distracted and caught what Xie Yuchen shot at him. When he took it in his hand, he saw that it was actually a high-level Golden Bell Shield.

Without a second thought, he immediately retrieved his original card, activated the Golden Bell Shield, and said to the Seven Star Alliance members, "Come in!"

The Seven Star Alliance members had been keeping a close eye on their captain's situation. When they saw Cao Yuxiang activate the Golden Bell Shield, they rushed into it before the Demon Hunter Alliance members could react.

Fan Haonan, Tian Dongrong, Xiang Cuicui, and Xie Yuwei also took advantage of the fact that the Demon Hunter Alliance members were not paying attention to them, and quietly entered the Golden Bell Shield.

The Demon Hunter Alliance never expected that Seven Star Fortress would suddenly possess a high-level Golden Bell Shield.

With the Golden Bell Shield being invincible among those of the same level, they really couldn't do anything about Seven Star Fortress for the time being.

Cao Yuxiang stood inside the high-level golden bell shield, looking at Ma Gaozhan with a gloomy expression, and said, "Are you sure you want to waste your time here with me?"

Ma Gaozhan looked unwillingly at the people inside the golden bell shield, and said to his subordinates, "Retreat!"

As he was leaving, he gave Xie Yuchen a meaningful look.

Xie Yuchen was not afraid of him; he looked directly into Ma Gaozhan's eyes.

Seeing this, Ma Gaozhan suddenly became interested in him.

"Young man, see you later! Don't fall into my hands next time." Ma Gaozhan gave Xie Yuchen a cruel smile.

Xie Yuchen pursed her lips and remained silent.

The Demon Hunter Alliance members left, and as they disappeared from everyone's sight, Xie Yuwei's eyes held a moment of profound contemplation.

Two miles away, Ma Gaozhan suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and he clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Captain!" The members of the Demon Hunter Alliance exclaimed in surprise.

Was the captain injured during the conflict with the people from Seven Star Fortress?

"Captain, I'm going to kill them!" a member of the Demon Hunter Alliance said angrily.

Ma Gaozhan grabbed him: "You're not from Seven Star Fortress!"

His eyes scanned the surroundings, and he said warily, "I was attacked here."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Demon Hunter Alliance immediately went on high alert.

-

Xie Yuwei had no interest in knowing what happened to the Demon Hunter Alliance afterward.

She stayed with the people from Seven Star Fortress. Only after the people from Seven Star Fortress confirmed that the Demon Hunter Alliance had retreated did Cao Yuxiang retract her Advanced Golden Bell Shield.

He returned the advanced Golden Bell Shield to Xie Yuchen, saying, "Thank you, young friend."

He said to Xie Yuchen with admiration, "I didn't expect that you would be a mid-level Card Spirit Master at such a young age, and that you also have such a high-level Golden Bell Shield."

Xie Yuchen was speechless. He had already mentioned that he was an intermediate-level Card Spirit Master when he introduced himself.

Judging from this, they didn't take his words seriously.

Cao Yuxiang liked Xie Yuchen's adorable and innocent aura. He returned the card to Xie Yuchen and said, "Put the card away. I won't ask about your identities. As long as you don't do anything to harm Seven Star Fortress, I'll consider you all friends." Xie Yuchen put away the card and glanced at his sister cautiously.

Seeing that his sister didn't blame him for taking out the advanced Golden Bell Shield, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he rolled his eyes, walked up to Cao Yuxiang ingratiatingly, and tentatively asked, "Captain Cao, I am of some use too, so why don't we join your operation?"

Cao Yuxiang remained unmoved: "The mission we took on is not something to joke about. This is your first time coming out for training, so you shouldn't participate in such a dangerous mission."

Xie Yuchen felt a little disappointed when Cao Yuxiang didn't agree.

Pingjun stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Don't even think about it. The captain won't agree to let you come along. He's responsible for your safety."

Xie Yuchen resignedly returned to the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Fan Haonan, Tian Dongrong, and Xiang Cuicui realized for the first time how dangerous the outside world was.

Between people, killing is done in an instant!

The three of them were deeply shocked and were still in shock, sitting in the carriage.

Seeing their reaction, Xie Yuchen stopped worrying about following Cao Yuxiang.

The three of them haven't had any experience yet, so let's take it one step at a time.

Pingjun chuckled at the sight of Fan Haonan, Tian Dongrong, and Xiang Cuicui.

This is the normal reaction of a child experiencing life for the first time.

Pingjun waited for them to slowly come to their senses, and only when he saw their eyes refocus did he begin to introduce them to the surrounding geography.

"Encountering members of the Demon Hunter Alliance on the road was an exception; such a thing shouldn't happen again."

“We’re in the suburbs from the west gate, and beyond that is Qinglan Mountain.”

"Our destination is Qinglan Mountain. The captain and his team will continue deeper into the heart of Zhushan Mountain."

"The Zhushan Mountains are the territory of monsters. There is an uninhabited area inside Zhushan that is a gathering place for monsters."

Xiang Cuicui knew nothing about these things, and she innocently asked, "What's the difference between a demon beast and a magical beast?"

Pingjun patiently explained to them: "The monsters are wild animals that originally existed in our world. Before the monsters descended, they were just ordinary wild animals."

"Since the emergence of magical beasts, our human race has produced Card Spirit Masters, and wild beasts also have a chance to transform into demonic beasts."

"Different demonic beasts possess different rare and precious materials. They reproduce even faster than humans. Even if humans become extinct in the future, they will not become extinct either. They will definitely be able to coexist with demonic beasts in this world."

"There is a big difference between demonic beasts and monsters. Demonic beasts leave behind corpses after they die, and their meat is edible. Monsters contain demonic energy, which devours the bodies of demonic beasts and humans, causing unbearable pain to all living beings in this world. They do not leave behind corpses after they die, but occasionally some animal bones will fall off."

"Warcraft is an enemy from beyond the heavens; it cannot be compared to monsters."

Xiang Cuicui, Fan Haonan, and Tian Dongrong then distinguished between the monsters and the demonic beasts.

Captain Cao went to collect the Lingxiao Immortal Stone, the Sanqing Yuan Flower, and the Nine-Turn Essence Stone in order to fight against the demonic beasts protecting these spiritual plants.

He needs to collect intermediate and basic beast bones to fight against magical beasts.

The children learned a lot from Pingjun.

-

The team moved quickly and soon arrived at the foot of Qinglan Mountain.

Cao Yuxiang rode his horse to Xie Yuchen's carriage and said to the people inside, "You should follow Pingjun into Qinglan Mountain to collect Huatianzhu and Shizhicao."

Fifty catties of Tianzhu and one hundred catties of Shizhicao are enough for them to stay in Qinglan Mountain for two months.
