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

Chapter 198 The Fluctuation of the Strange Stone

The team is mainly composed of Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei, and the others are likely their bodyguards.

Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, and their cultivation levels had already reached the advanced beginner stage.

To reach such a level of cultivation at such an age is already considered genius.

The guards in the team were all high-level card spirit masters.

Judging from their identities, Xie Yuwei believed that the three of them were either rich or noble.

I wonder what their mission is.

Xie Yuwei followed obediently in the group, watching them walk deeper into the wasteland, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brothers and sisters, where are you going?"

The mission of Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei was not a secret. When Xie Yuwei asked them this, they simply said, "We're here to find animal bones."

None of the three of them had absorbed any beast bones before. They had recently advanced to the level of advanced spirit masters and wanted to take advantage of their empty Qi Sea to find beast bones and absorb their energy to continue advancing.

Xie Yuwei was stunned for a moment after hearing their words.

Animal bones?
She has plenty of them in her space!
She'll team up with them first and see how it goes. If they really can't find any beast bones, she'll take out the beast bones from her spatial storage and trade them with them.

The highest cultivation level in their entire team was at the peak of the advanced stage, so they couldn't discern Xie Yuwei's strength.

Xie Yuwei looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, and her demeanor was not like that of a scheming, manipulative woman. Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei all had a good impression of her.

Seeing that she had no cultivation, they took great care of her when they were traveling at high speed.

A group of people were hunting in the wasteland. They killed many magical beasts, but did not obtain a single beast bone.

As night fell, they found a flat spot and planned to set up camp.

Lu Zeyu, a straightforward older sister, walked over to Xie Yuwei and asked, "How are you? Can you still hold on?"

Their schedule today is very tight, with intense monster killing; I wonder if she can handle it.

Xie Yuwei was surprised by their kindness towards her.

She smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm very capable."

Lu Zeyu thought she was afraid they would abandon her, which was why she stubbornly insisted that she was very capable.

She patted Xie Yuwei's head and said to her affectionately, "Don't be afraid, we won't abandon you. If you can't hold on, just tell us, and we'll take care of you."

Xie Yuwei's lips twitched.

She used to be the one patting Xiao Fei'er's head, but she never expected that she would receive the same treatment after going on a long trip.

Seeing that everyone had set up camp, she took out a high-level array plate from her spatial storage and handed it to Lu Zeyu, saying, "This is a high-level defensive array plate. Once activated, it has the defensive power of a Saint-level array eye."

Lu Zeyu is from the Great Yan Kingdom, and Xie Yuwei's defensive array plate has not yet been introduced to the Great Yan Kingdom, so neither of them recognizes the array plate.

"What is this?" Lu Zeyu asked curiously.

Does this compass-like thing really have the defensive power of a Saint-level array eye?
Jie Yuwei coaxed her, "Try activating it."

Advanced card spirit masters can activate advanced array plates, which in turn possess saint-level defensive capabilities.

Lu Zeyu couldn't sense any malice from Jie Yuwei, and the compass didn't look like a hidden weapon, so she listened to Jie Yuwei and poured her spiritual power into the array plate.

Once the array plate has spiritual energy circulating, it begins to activate.

A transparent light flashed on the array plate, spreading outwards and enveloping their camp.

The sudden appearance of the spiritual energy barrier startled everyone, and they all walked towards Xie Yuwei and Lu Zeyu. Chen Hang asked, "What happened?"

Lu Zeyu was still in shock and hadn't come to her senses.

Does this compass really have a defensive function?

She looked intently at Xie Yuwei, only then realizing that Xie Yuwei's identity was not simple.

The person who can produce such a treasure cannot be an ordinary person.

Lu Zeyu explained the situation to Chen Hang and Shen Yelei.

After learning the whole story, the two stared in disbelief at the transparent barrier that had enveloped them.

Does this really have Saint-level defensive capabilities?

"Give it a try?" Shen Yelei asked.

Chen Hang nodded, stepped outside the barrier, and unleashed a full-force attack on the defensive shield.

A high-level card spirit master's full-force attack struck the barrier, leaving only a very shallow ripple.

This ripple is not noticeable unless you look closely.

Chen Hang tested the defensive barrier's effect and realized that it was no ordinary barrier.

He excitedly asked Xie Yuwei, "Sister Lin, where did you get this?"

This compass can completely replace the defensive array's core.

With it, they were no longer afraid that Bixiao City would be breached by monsters.

Lu Zeyu and Shen Yelei also looked at Xie Yuwei expectantly.

Xie Yuwei honestly said, "This is something I figured out myself, and I haven't been able to mass-produce it yet."

Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei were all shocked. They finally understood why she had been drugged by her companion. Could it be that her companion was after her treasure and was planning to kill her and steal it?

But her companions didn't succeed?
The compass was still in her hand, so her companion must not have succeeded.

Xie Yuwei was unaware of their inner thoughts; they even fabricated a story for themselves.

She explained the array plate to them, saying, "This is called an array plate. As long as the energy consumed by the array plate is maintained, one array plate can be equivalent to the combined defensive power of ten Saint-level array eyes."

Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei were extremely alarmed.

"Does this array plate consume a lot of energy?" Chen Hang asked.

Jie Yuwei said, "You attacked the barrier just now, and Sister Yu is maintaining the operation of the array plate. Ask her if the array plate consumes a lot of energy?"

Chen Hang and Shen Yelei both looked at Lu Zeyu.

Lu Zeyu knew this matter was of great importance, and she solemnly said to Chen Hang and Shen Yelei, "It's negligible, I could hardly feel your attack."

In other words, the array plate did not consume too much energy.

The three of them realized this and took the matter even more seriously.

Chen Hang asked tremblingly, "Can only the spiritual power of a Card Spirit Master maintain the operation of the array plate?"

Can it maintain the barrier using the energy of beast bones, just like a Saint-level array eye?
Xie Yuwei understood what he meant.

She said with a smile, "This array plate can use the energy of animal bones to replace the spiritual power of a card spirit master."

"Not only that, anything in the world that contains spiritual energy can be placed in the array plate to maintain its operation."

“Take this for example,” Xie Yuwei said, taking out a Nine-Turn Refined Stone.

"What is this?" Lu Zeyu asked curiously.

She took the Nine-Turn Essence Stone from Xie Yuwei's hand and examined it, discovering that the stone contained a certain rich energy.

Jie Yuwei introduced them to the properties of the Nine-Turn Refined Stone.

Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei all found it unbelievable.

How does she know so much?
Her identity must be quite extraordinary, right?

The three exchanged glances and decided to befriend Jie Yuwei, determined to recruit her into their Bixiao City.

"How do you know all this? That's amazing," Lu Zeyu exclaimed.

She wanted to find out Xie Yuwei's identity, but was afraid of being too forward.

Xie Yuwei smiled innocently: "I was born with it!"

Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei fell silent. Even if she was born with the skill, the fact that she could find the materials to refine the array plate already proved that her identity was not simple.

The three were afraid that being too proactive would offend Xie Yuwei.

So the topic was dropped.

Just then, a guard called out, "Young master, dinner is ready."

Lu Zeyu said to Xie Yuwei, "Let's go get something to eat first."

With that, she returned the array plate to Jie Yuwei. The spiritual energy on the array plate could maintain the defense for one night.

Jie Yuwei put away the array plate, leaving it active, and then joined them in eating roasted meat, flatbread, and beast soup.

I must say, they really know how to make things; the food they produce is actually quite delicious.

After eating and drinking her fill, Xie Yuwei went into the small tent that Lu Zeyu had set up for her, intending to have a good sleep.

Her array plate was in the camp, and it was still activated by her pillow, so she didn't have to worry about being attacked by monsters.

Xie Yuwei lay in the tent and closed her eyes contentedly.

In twenty-three days, her magical stone will be filled with energy, and then she can go home.

Xie Yuwei calmed her breathing, and Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei, thinking she had fallen asleep, began to discuss her.

"Who is she, and how does she have array plates and Nine-Turn Essence Stones on her?"

"Her background alone suggests she's not simple."

"It's strange that someone without spiritual power would appear in the Tianchen Wasteland."

“She’s not from Bixiao City. If there were such a person in Bixiao City, we would have known her long ago.”

"I wonder if they're from Yandu."

……

Seeing that they meant her no harm and had no intention of plotting against her, Xie Yuwei fell asleep peacefully.

It's always good to be cautious, so before going to sleep, she placed a mid-level array plate in the small tent. This array plate would defend against them alone.

In the dead of night, Xie Yuwei, half asleep, suddenly sensed the strange movement of the strange stone.

She instantly regained her senses.

She carefully sensed the will conveyed to her by the strange stone, and it was...

Is there some strange stone in this wasteland that wants to absorb energy?
This has never happened before.

She collected so many rare and precious materials in Tiansheng City, but the strange stone showed no signs of movement.

What kind of treasure could excite a rare stone so much?
Xie Yuwei said to the strange stone in her heart, "Okay, okay, I will definitely help you find such a thing."

"But it's late at night, and they're all asleep. If I get up, I'll definitely wake them."

"When they ask me where I'm going, I won't know how to explain it."

"We'll go tomorrow when it's light."

The strange stone received Jie Yuwei's thoughts and then fell silent.

The night passed, and the weather was fine early the next morning.

After everyone got up and had breakfast at the camp, they planned to continue killing monsters.

Xie Yuwei asked them, "What level of animal bones do you plan to hunt?"

After what happened last night, Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei all take Xie Yuwei very seriously.

When Xie Yuwei asked them, they frankly replied, "We want high-grade animal bones."

I wonder if they can break through to the peak of the advanced level after absorbing the high-level beast bones.

As for the Saint level, they didn't even dare to dream of it.

Jie Yuwei understood their needs and pointed in a direction, saying, "I sense a high-level magical beast over there."

That direction was where the strange stone was leading her.

The energy that the strange stone wants to absorb must be extraordinary. All the rare treasures have been claimed by monsters or demonic beasts, so there must be high-level demonic beasts over there that they want to kill.

She wanted the energy the strange stone needed.

They need to kill high-level magical beasts.

That's killing two birds with one stone.

Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei all looked at Xie Yuwei in surprise after hearing her words.

"How did you know there were high-level magical beasts in that direction?" Lu Zeyu asked in surprise.

Yesterday they wandered around the wasteland without her revealing a word; they only encountered mid-level magical beasts.

Xie Yuwei gave an awkward smile.

Chen Hang, Lu Zeyu, and Shen Yelei quickly understood her from her expression.

Is she on guard against them?
That's true. How could you not be wary of someone you've just met?

It seems that after what happened last night, she has accepted them?
"Where is it? Can you lead the way?" Chen Hang asked.

They, a group of high-level card spirit masters, can move freely within the wasteland barrier.

As long as they don't leave the wasteland barrier, they are not afraid of facing any magical beasts.

Xie Yuwei smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll take you there."

Shen Yelei summoned his card, which was a large eagle.

He said to the crowd, "Get on the big eagle, I'll take you there."

In the team, besides Shen Yelei who summoned a flying card, there were five other players whose cards were flying beasts.

They summoned their cards one by one, and the team split into smaller groups, each standing on one of the six flying cards.

Xie Yuwei was also taken by Lu Zeyu onto Shen Yelei's giant eagle.

"Thank you!" Xie Yuwei said shyly.

Everyone was riding high-level cards, and their flying speed was extremely fast. Led by Jie Yuwei, the group quickly arrived at the place where the strange stone sensed something unusual.

They had just approached the spot when the strange rock suddenly began to vibrate.

Jie Yuwei could feel the excitement of the strange stone.

What exactly is it that makes the strange stone emit such an excited fluctuation?

"Huh! This is the Valley of Cannibals," Lu Zeyu said, looking at the valley below the giant eagle.

Shen Yelei's expression turned serious.

Xie Yuwei noticed their strange expressions and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Zeyu explained, "This valley probably contains not only high-level magical beasts, but also man-eating plants that can devour people. Even if we are high-level card spirit masters, we cannot guarantee that we will leave the valley unscathed."

Jie Yuwei nodded and said, "Those man-eating flowers below are high-level spiritual plants, and their attack power is comparable to that of high-level demonic beasts and magical beasts."

Lu Zeyu was surprised: "You recognize the man-eating flower below?"

Man-eating flowers can only be found in Man-eating Valley, right?

She wasn't from Bixiao City, so how would she know about the man-eating flower unique to Tianchen Wasteland?
After thinking for a moment, Xie Yuwei took out a copy of "The Complete Book of Spiritual Plants" that she had kept in the Mercenary Guild from her spatial storage and handed it to them.

By getting to know the spiritual plants in "The Complete Book of Spiritual Plants", they will be able to obtain more resources.

Although they are from the Great Yan Kingdom, they are still human, aren't they?

The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion of the Spirit Kingdom can sell defensive array points to them, so giving her a copy of "The Complete Book of Spirit Plants" doesn't count as treason, right?

Lu Zeyu took the "Complete Encyclopedia of Spiritual Plants" and looked at it. It contained information about spiritual plants.

The characteristics and effects of the spiritual plants are all recorded in great detail.

"This is--"

Lu Zeyu was extremely shocked.

How can there be such a book in this world?

Why haven't they sent any news?

Seeing Lu Zeyu's shock, Chen Hang and Shen Yelei leaned over to take a look.

Upon seeing the above content, the two of them showed expressions of shock.
