Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 281 Only Speed ​​Can Invincibility
The mermaid's abdomen unexpectedly had a mouth as well.

After the person was swept away by the mermaid, the mouth located on its abdomen opened slightly, and then swallowed the person whole, followed by a series of chewing sounds.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Jingtian felt a chill run down his spine.

If the mermaid had looked even more bizarre, he wouldn't have felt so uncomfortable.

She was incredibly beautiful, yet the process of eating was so disgusting, creating a stark contrast.

Of course, one can also feel the immense pressure from the other party.

Zhang Jingtian could clearly sense that the mermaid had completed the hunt with almost no effort.

The person she had just caught was not an ordinary person either, but a card maker, and not even a low-level one.

However, this did not frighten Zhang Jingtian.

If he couldn't even handle a monster like this, he might as well just die.

After all, the Scourge Legion currently has double-digit numbers of Scourge aliens with rainbow-level strength under its command.

After Zhang Jingtian came into the mermaid's sight, he was the first to hear a warning voice coming from a building behind him:

"Dude, let's get going! Don't stay there! She...she hasn't finished eating yet!"

Clearly, the person who specifically spoke to remind Zhang Jingtian was someone who lived nearby.

He probably secretly observes the mermaid's every move from here every day, and knows exactly when she will make her move and when she will kill someone.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingtian smiled slightly and walked directly towards the mermaid.

The person upstairs seemed to be about to say a few words, but when he saw that Zhang Jingtian had already summoned his heroic spirit, he immediately fell silent.

The fact that he's able to stay here means he's a card maker, and he's even someone sent here by the association.

However, his job was somewhat special; his main task was to monitor the monster and figure out her patterns.

For example, he knows now that this monster only needs to eat ten people a day and then it will stop attacking people unless someone like Zhang Jingtian deliberately goes to their death.

So he would count the days there, and once the mermaid had eaten her fill, he would stop passersby from getting close to her.

Although he couldn't completely kill the monster, this method at least reduced the number of people who died at the hands of the mermaid.

But today, he saw another self-important card maker.

He had seen this situation many times before. After all, many card makers still had good intentions and hoped to defeat the monsters with their own strength.

Although success is not guaranteed.

But when men see so many card makers who eventually become food for mermaids, they still feel a little sorry for them.

Why waste your life?
However, now, this man who had seen countless deaths and injuries finally changed his expression when he saw Zhang Jingtian summon a Black Card-quality Heroic Spirit.

"That's a black card! I'm not seeing things, am I?" The man rubbed his eyes hard, and after confirming that he wasn't mistaken, he took a deep breath.

"Oh my god, could he really succeed?!"

The man watched all this from afar, his heart filled with anticipation.

Zhang Jingtian stepped into the mermaid's line of sight. This monster, within her own territory, was naturally quite domineering, or rather, arrogant. After all, she felt she had reached an agreement with these foolish humans: they only needed to offer her ten humans a day, and she would let them go, instead of devouring them all at once.

However, these humans repeatedly broke their agreement and disturbed her life time and time again.

Now the mermaid even felt that she could never forgive them again. From now on, she would only be satisfied if she ate more people each time.

And now, I must tear this guy to pieces and make an example of him!
The mermaid immediately sprang into action, her body instantly swelling up.

It was visible to the naked eye that her body was draining the water from the river.

Before long, the great river beneath the mermaid turned into a dry dam.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Jingtian and the heroic spirit Daheitian he summoned both showed expressions of surprise.

"This guy seems to be quite formidable." Daheitian said this with a hint of excitement.

After seeing this, Zhang Jingtian smiled at Daheitian and asked, "Can you handle it by yourself?"

Mahakala nodded:
"Of course, if it weren't for you limiting my performance, I wouldn't even glance at this thing when I'm fully recovered."

Although Daheitian's words were somewhat exaggerated, Zhang Jingtian understood that what the other party said was definitely not a lie.

These heroic spirits are all divine cards.

The figure of Daheitian was like a huge shadow, obscuring the sky above them.

When the shadow fell upon the mermaid, even the arrogant monster felt something was amiss.

As a monster, although she doesn't understand the distinction between card quality, she still has her own unique standards for evaluating strength.

For example, the moment she saw this dark creature, she sensed that it was incredibly powerful and quite troublesome.

Killing the other person is extremely difficult.

If this were the first time the mermaid had come here, she would probably choose to run away right now.

After all, even if she wins, it will definitely be a fierce battle, so the mermaid can't possibly outlast Zhang Jingtian.

These monsters, too, would kill each other.

However, she has now been entrenched in this territory for quite some time, and she is even reluctant to give up this life where people willingly walk into her trap every day.

Who wouldn't love a life where you can eat your fill without having to hunt for food?

So right now, she can't bear to leave.

At this point, she had no choice but to fight back in order to protect her own little world.

Zhang Jingtian, standing to the side, was unaware that this mermaid was being so dramatic, and he kept imagining things.

At this moment, Zhang Jingtian only saw Daheitian and the mermaid locked in combat.

Although the mermaid who had drained the river water became very large, looking like a giant.

However, Daheitian was even more agile, and she moved through the mermaid's body unharmed.
