Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 289 The Smell of the Dead

Zhang Jingtian sighed, but he had anticipated this situation long ago.

The Scourge has definitely been preparing quietly for so many years.

In comparison, the humans were much more lax, and even experienced a long period of internal strife.

Therefore, being attacked by the Scourge was entirely within his expectations.

"Do you have any better ideas for the next step?"

The Monkey King knew that there were actually card makers even more skilled than Zhang Jingtian.

But he just felt that the person in front of him was stronger and had more ideas.

Everything will be alright after he wakes up.

Zhang Jingtian glanced at the Monkey King in front of him and said:

"What else can I do but continue with my mission? Are those colored cards that I need to resolve still around?"

“They’re all still here,” the Monkey King said calmly.

Given the current chaotic situation, it would be difficult to find another person like Zhang Jingtian who would take the time to deal with the lottery cards.

When he saw that Zhang Jingtian was still willing to do this after returning, instead of being afraid or apprehensive because of what had happened before, he immediately relaxed.

He knew he hadn't misjudged the man before him; this man clearly wouldn't give up just because of one accident.

Zhang Jingtian could see that his mental strength had actually increased significantly after the events of the past few days.

This is also a good thing for him.

He estimated that once he solved the three remaining colored cards in the card catalog, he would become the next top card maker.

His heroic spirits are also able to unleash their energy and return to the level of the colored card.

By then, he will be able to truly confront the Scourge and participate in decision-making on more significant matters.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingtian immediately curled up the corners of his mouth and a faint smile appeared on his face.

“Looks like we can set off now.” Zhang Jingtian squinted and turned to a new page, which contained the introduction to the divine card.

At this moment, the Monkey King stood behind Zhang Jingtian. After glancing at the contents of the card, he quickly said:
"But this divine card is quite powerful and extremely fierce."

Zhang Jingtian hummed in agreement: "How did you know? Didn't the description say that it only inhabits its natural habitat?"

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven shook his head and continued, "That was at the very beginning, but now, it should be said that during the time you were asleep, it has already changed its fighting habits."

It will now kill everyone who passes through its territory, including members of the Scourge. Its main tactic is indiscriminate attack.

Zhang Jingtian clicked his tongue: "It's quite good at playing both sides. How exactly does this monster kill people?"

The Monkey King, standing to the side, could not provide an answer:
"We don't know about that. All we know is that no one who has entered its territory has ever come out alive."

Therefore, my suggestion is that we should deal with it last. And given its current ferocity, the association may have to deal with it soon.

Nobody paid attention to these colored cards before because they weren't very aggressive, so they could be left aside.

However, now that this guy has become aggressive, the Card Makers Association certainly can't let him get away with it.

From a rational perspective, the analysis that the Monkey King is currently providing is quite useful.

However, Zhang Jingtian, who was standing to the side, simply shook his head:

"No, that's not the case."

He glanced at them calmly and said, "Since this guy is so dangerous, shouldn't our top priority be to take immediate action and stop him? Only in this way can we end the danger, otherwise more and more people will die because of it."

Upon hearing Zhang Jingtian's words, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's expression changed.

He knew that what set Zhang Jingtian apart from other card makers was his humanity and courage.

"Okay, let's go!"

At this point, the Monkey King naturally wouldn't try to stop Zhang Jingtian anymore.

Moreover, based on his understanding of Zhang Jingtian, he believed that Zhang Jingtian was highly likely to create another miracle.

Anyway, with so many heroic spirits, if everyone can unleash their power, there's still hope of getting them out alive.

Soon, they arrived at the location of the colorful card event.

Actually, this place is no longer considered part of Shanghai; it's located in the suburbs.

Previously, this road led to an industrial park with many factories.

However, the factories here have all gone out of business long ago.

Zhang Jingtian stood by the roadside with his hands in his pockets. Unexpectedly, a car suddenly stopped in front of him.

Zhang Jingtian frowned. He had just looked around, but he couldn't find any vehicles driving nearby.

Now that this car is here, where did it come from? It couldn't have fallen from the sky, could it?
Zhang Jingtian instinctively realized that there was definitely something wrong with the car in front of him.

He looked up, took a deep look at the car blocking his way, and then spoke:

"I want to go up and take a look."

He wasn't talking to himself, of course. At that moment, a faint black mark appeared on Zhang Jingtian's neck.

That was none other than Mahakala.

Upon hearing Zhang Jingtian's words, Daheitian calmly replied, "Go ahead. Once you've made up your mind, there's no point in trying to persuade you otherwise."

This should have become a consensus among these heroic spirits.

Once Zhang Jingtian has made up his mind, he will do it no matter what others say.

Anyway, since all the heroic spirits were here watching, they weren't worried at all about Zhang Jingtian getting into any trouble.

As Zhang Jingtian boarded the bus, Da Heitian suddenly transformed into an ordinary woman and followed behind him, appearing to be just another passenger.

They looked up and around, and sure enough, they saw the other passengers on the bus.

The passengers all had their heads down and were silent, looking as if they were unconscious.

Zhang Jingtian touched his nose, increasingly feeling that the situation before him was somewhat unusual.

However, at the moment, he acted as if nothing had happened and sat down in the empty seat with a carefree attitude.

At this moment, Daheitian naturally sat down next to Zhang Jingtian.

Then, Zhang Jingtian raised his head, glanced at the passenger sitting in front of him, took a deep breath, and then looked at Daheitian.

"Can you smell something strange?"

Daheitian rolled his eyes and blurted out, "Isn't it just the smell of dead people?"
