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

Chapter 184 Fighting
"Okay! Go ahead, and remember to send a message back if anything happens!" Huang Yongqing said to Xie Yuwei.

After relaying the message Xiao Lan sent back to Huang Yongqing, Xie Yuwei said to her younger siblings, "I'm going to take a walk around the nearby villages. Be careful!"

"If anything important happens, remember to notify me using the messaging card."

Xie Yuchen said to Xie Yuwei, "Sister, don't worry, I'll take good care of you!"

Xie Yuwei hung a small array plate on each of their waists: "You must keep this with you; you can't leave it behind!"

After saying that, she used her movement technique and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Xie Yuwei moved very quickly, and the students around her did not notice her leaving.

Seeing this, Xiang Cuicui, Fan Haonan, and Tian Dongrong asked Xie Yuchen worriedly, "Is your sister alright, leaving like this?"

"It's alright! Let's just stay here and stay put!" Xie Yuchen said.

After Xie Yuwei was out of sight of everyone, she summoned the Vermilion Bird and nimbly flipped over to ride on its back.

Unleashing her full Saint-level power, Jie Yuwei controlled the Vermilion Bird Card to fly towards a nearby village.

In the blink of an eye, she arrived above a village.

She rode the Vermilion Bird through the air and threw a mid-level array plate towards the center of the village.

The intermediate array plate landed and unfolded, instantly activating a defensive array.

After throwing the array plate into the village, Xie Yuwei did not stop. As she rode the Vermilion Bird away, she left a perfect trail of fiery tassels in the sky above the village.

The village children, witnessing this scene, pointed to the tassels of firelight left behind by the Vermilion Bird as it departed and asked, "What are those?"

The villagers were alerted only when the defensive array was deployed throughout the village.

"What's going on? Why is there an extra layer of defense in our village?"

The confused villagers were unaware that a beast tide had broken out in Tiansheng City, and that this massive tide would affect them as well.

"Village chief, it seems to be the defense emanating from that thing!" a young man said, pointing to the array plate in the center of the village.

"Village chief, should we put that thing away?"

The elderly village chief looked at the array plate radiating spiritual light and asked, "Did you see clearly who threw this thing here?"

Just then, a group of children ran over excitedly and said, "We saw it! It was a young lady riding a firebird, and she threw this thing off the firebird."

The village chief pondered: "That must be a spirit master. The firebird she rode must be the legendary Fire Cloud Sparrow or Vermilion Bird."

“The Card Master wouldn’t abandon this thing for no reason. It’s harmless to us, so let’s leave it here for now and observe how things develop!”

With the old village chief's words, the villagers accepted that the array had appeared out of nowhere in the village.

Every time Xie Yuwei passed through a village, she would throw down a formation plate.

The reactions varied from village to village.

Some recognized these as array plates sold at the Karingtang:

"This is an array plate, its function is the same as a defensive array eye! Why did the Card Spirit Master throw an array plate into our village for no reason?"

"Something must have happened! This array plate must not be moved. Quickly, tell the villagers outside to return to the village."

Some people, blinded by greed, collected the array plates, intending to sell them.

Xie Yuwei passed through more than a dozen villages in a row, and she placed a formation plate in the center of each village.

These are all intermediate-level array plates, capable of defending against attacks from high-level magical beasts and withstanding three strikes from a holy-level magical beast.

Their village could have been completely preserved if the beast tide hadn't passed through it.

It took Xie Yuwei less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to return from Tiansheng City to Nanwen Village.

When she returned to Nanwen Village, the village had not yet been affected by the beast tide.

A cry—a whistling sound echoed over Nanwen Village.

Those who heard the noise looked up at the sky and saw a person standing on the back of a firebird.

When Xie Huai'an came out of the workshop and looked up at the sky, he saw Xie Yuwei standing on the Vermilion Bird.

"It's Sister Wei~"

Xie Huai'an said to the villagers.

When the villagers heard it was Xie Yuwei, they weren't surprised at all.

With Sister Wei's abilities, what is she compared to standing on the firebird?
If one day, others say that Sister Wei has become a goddess, they can accept it.

Xie Yuwei stood on the Vermilion Bird and threw an array plate towards the ancestral hall in Nanwen Village. The array plate landed on the roof of the ancestral hall.

The array plate was activated immediately upon touching the roof, and a defensive barrier appeared in the sky above Nanwen Village.

She looked down at Xie Huai'an and said, "The beast tide is about to break out. Protect the village!"

After saying that, she turned and flew towards other villages.

When she flew to Zhoushan Town, she also threw down a formation plate that landed in the county government office.

Yan Hongxue had sensed Xie Yuwei's presence long ago. When Xie Yuwei appeared above the county government office riding the Vermilion Bird, he recognized the Vermilion Bird at a glance.

He stood in his own yard and asked Xie Yuwei in the sky, "What happened?"

For Xie Yuwei to risk exposing her identity and ride a Saint-level Vermilion Bird Card in the sky, something must have happened.

Xie Yuwei didn't hide anything from him: "The beast tide is attacking Tiansheng City. Tiansheng City might not be able to hold out. It will definitely affect the surrounding areas. You should guard Zhoushan Town."

Yan Hongxue's expression changed.

What kind of beast tide could attack Tiansheng City and cause it to collapse?

Looking across the entire Southern Wilderness Barrier, there shouldn't be any magical beasts capable of breaching Tiansheng City!

What happened in the end?

Yan Hongxue wanted to get to the bottom of things, but Xie Yuwei didn't have time.

She turned and left on her Vermilion Bird, setting up arrays in the surrounding towns before the beast tide army reached Tiansheng City.

The Southern Wilderness is vast. Even after using her maximum speed and exhausting all the low- and mid-level array plates she had, Xie Yuwei was still unable to deploy array plates on all the towns and villages.

Hopefully, they can survive this beast tide.

Xie Yuwei sighed with regret.

She has done everything she could.

Without the array plate on her body, Xie Yuwei had no choice but to return to Tiansheng City.

She rejoined the ranks just as the vanguard forces of the various factions were clashing with the beast tide.

The instructors from the five great families, the Mercenary Guild, Fengyun Academy, and Martial Arts Academy, as well as those from Tiansheng City whose cultivation had reached the intermediate level, all stepped forward to fight the beast horde.

The beast tide at the front consisted of mostly low- and mid-level magical beasts.

These magical beasts were incredibly numerous, densely packed, seemingly without end, and they charged towards Tiansheng City without any sense of reason.

The card masters and warriors of Tiansheng City rushed forward and immediately engaged in battle with them.

"With so many magical beasts, can we kill them all?"

"How could there be so many magical beasts in Zhushan?"

While battling the monsters, everyone kept in mind to use quest cards to gather the monsters' scent.

see you tomorrow!
