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

Chapter 18 Danger

The little girl stared in shock at the flames in the stove.

So, was the flame in the stove created by Sister Wei?
Do they no longer need firewood?

Once you become a Card Spirit Master, do you no longer need firewood?

The little girl felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Okay, then you should rest well at home. You've just recovered from your illness and need to rest properly."

The little girl wasn't jealous that Xiaoyufei didn't have to collect firewood; she genuinely wanted what was best for Xiaoyufei.

She said goodbye to Xiaoyufei and went to the back mountain with her other friends.

The village's perimeter fence surrounds the outer edge of the back mountain, making it convenient for villagers to gather firewood.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to chop firewood when they need it.

Ordinary villagers lack the ability to directly confront monsters.

The barrier connects the outer perimeter of the back mountain, allowing them to walk safely within it.

A group of friends, chirping like birds, headed towards the back of the mountain.

The little girl did not tell anyone Xiaoyufei's secret.

-

Xie Yuwei went on a big shopping spree in town. She also bought a lot of things from Li Niangzi, including household items, bottles and jars, toiletries, fabrics, and so on. She bought everything she could get her hands on.

She put the things she bought into the strange stone space and then came back carrying an empty basket.

Xie Yuwei was in a good mood; she hummed a song as she walked back.

-

As soon as Xie Yuwei returned to the village and entered the village's protective barrier, she sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around her.

This time, she didn't hide from others when she returned home, but walked openly through the village.

She needs to know what's happening in the village.

Just then, a villager saw her and immediately shouted, "Sister Wei, Sister Fei went to collect firewood and was captured by a monster! Go to the back mountain quickly and check!"

what?
Jie Yuwei was shocked. Had Xiaoyufei been captured by a monster?
Thinking of the barrier on the back mountain, Xie Yuwei didn't hesitate and immediately used her spiritual power to fly towards the back mountain.

The villagers who encountered her were shocked to see her disappear in a flash, staring at her retreating figure.

Sister Wei... has become a Card Spirit Master?
-

Xie Yuwei was worried about Xiao Yufei, so she didn't even go home and went straight to the back mountain.

She was afraid that if she arrived too late, Xiaoyufei would become food for the monsters.

Even before Xie Yuwei entered the back mountain, she could hear the noise from there.

"Damn monster! My Lan'er was just leading everyone here to collect firewood, but who would have thought that the monster would break through the barrier and carry away several children?"

"How was the barrier broken here? This has never happened before."

"Who knows how the barrier was broken? No one has ever been in or out of here."

"No! Sister Wei came back from here the day before yesterday. Could it be that she changed the energy here when she went in and out, which is why the barrier broke?"

Xie Yuwei heard Xie Bei's voice.

This person took her cards and still has the nerve to frame her here.

"What rubbish! Are you implying that Wei Jie'er broke the barrier here?"

Xie Yuwei heard her uncle making sarcastic remarks.

Jie Cheng looked at Jie Bei with a cold smile and said, "As a Card Spirit Master, how could you not know about barriers?"

“In the past, my younger brother was in charge of maintaining the barrier in the village. He has been missing for two years. Who has taken care of the barrier in the past two years?”

"If you don't maintain the barrier, those powerful magical beasts will naturally be able to break through it."

Everyone was rendered speechless.

All the card masters present knew that what Jie Cheng said was true. But—

They all looked towards Jie Bei.

The village chief's family doesn't care about the barrier at all, so what can they do?
They don't have the same ability as Jieyan to ensure the safety of the entire village.

Everyone was initially silent, but Xie Cheng's next words served as a wake-up call:
"Today the monsters kidnapped a few children, tomorrow they might come down the mountain and raze the village to the ground."

Everyone felt a sense of crisis at this time.

Yes!

What if monsters come down and massacre the village?
Maintaining the barrier is of utmost urgency.

Xie Yuwei appeared in front of them as quickly as possible and saw that they were all standing there discussing the barrier, with no one caring about the child's safety.

She said angrily, "They've all been arrested, and you still have the leisure to discuss this here?"

When Xie Yuwei suddenly appeared in front of everyone, everyone looked at her in surprise.

At this moment, everyone knows that she has become a Card Spirit Master.

Seeing that they were still in a daze, Xie Yuwei was furious: "Where are they? What kind of monster captured them?"

A disheveled woman instantly realized what was happening, her tear-streaked face filled with urgency.

She said to Xie Yuwei, "They went that way; they were captured by the demon bear."

Not wanting to waste time, Xie Yuwei lightly touched the ground with her toes and immediately darted in that direction.

Seeing this, Jie Cheng glared angrily at the stunned crowd and said, "A group of adults can't compare to Sister Wei. She's only just awakened as a Card Spirit Master, yet she already knows to go and save people."

The village's spirit mediums were so ashamed by what they heard that they mustered their courage and followed Xie Yuwei into the mountains.

Jie Cheng stood there for a moment, thought about it, and then followed them inside.

Seeing people enter the mountains, the relatives who had lost their children also came out and bravely followed the group into the mountains.

Jie Bei followed behind everyone. Seeing so many people go inside, he felt it wouldn't be right for him, as the village chief's representative, not to go in. So, reluctantly, he followed them in.

Once outside the village's protective barrier, the entire world was shrouded in an aura of terror.

Xie Yuwei was only focused on saving people and couldn't care less about the people behind her. She rushed as fast as she could in the direction the woman pointed.

The card spirit masters following behind her were left far behind. Seeing Xie Yuwei's lightning speed, they realized something was wrong.

"How can Sister Wei be so fast?"

Didn't she just awaken as a Card Spirit Master?
Ignoring them, Jie Yuwei charged forward. Although she wasn't from this world and had no experience dealing with monsters, she was a gaming master.

At this moment, she seemed to be immersed in the game, completing tasks within it.

She used her mental senses to explore the area ahead and quickly discovered traces of the monster.

There were five demonic bears ahead, each carrying a child on its shoulder.

Seeing that the children had not been torn apart, Xie Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, her heart sank.

Where is Xiaoyufei?

Where is Xiaoyufei?

Was it captured by other magical beasts?

Or perhaps you're alone?

Xie Yuwei stopped and began searching for Xiao Yufei's whereabouts.

Of course, she didn't abandon the children.

She activated the cards of Crimson Chicken, Blood Ant, and Black Mamba Snake with her spiritual power, and then flung the cards out with a wave of her hand.

The card exploded in mid-air, and the card spirit quickly appeared before disappearing into the mountains and forests.
