The following evening.

The RV rolled over the muddy dirt road and plunged into the vast, boundless bamboo forest.

Sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves, dappling the windshield as Daisy and Peter nestled together in bed.

As for who's driving, the answer is, of course, the Wheel of Fortune.

Peter played various classic mini-games developed by Parker Technology according to his wishes, such as Temple Run and Fruit Ninja, while enjoying the fruit Daisy handed him.

Life couldn't be more pleasant.

But as the car drove on, Daisy unconsciously frowned:

"Peter, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your autonomous driving system?"

Daisy glanced up at the still dense bamboo outside the window:

"The GPS signal has been lost for more than ten minutes, and we still see no sign of leaving this bamboo forest."

"Don't worry, this is it."

"But why...?"

Daisy's ears twitched, then she looked out the car window and said:

"I have a bad feeling. The jungle behind us seems... to be moving?"

"This feels like... being trapped in a maze!"

At this point, Daisy's face paled.

Although she is now a superpowered person, she is still just a young girl who has only recently come of age.

I still hold a certain amount of awe for these supernatural and ghostly things.

Upon hearing this, Peter paused in his game, tilted his head and pondered for a moment before recalling a small detail about Tarot Village from the depths of his memory.

"Oh... I suddenly remembered something."

"What is it?"

"It seems that the entrance to Tarot Village is only opened on Qingming Festival... If outsiders wander into this bamboo forest at other times, they will never find the entrance to Tarot Village even if they wander until they die."

"Qingming Festival?!"

Daisy's eyes widened in surprise, then she asked somewhat helplessly:

"So what do we do now? It's only June, and there are still more than half a year until next year's Qingming Festival. Are we going to stay in this bamboo forest until next year?"

"For an ordinary person, they would really have no choice but to wait."

Peter suddenly became interested. He first gestured for the Wheel of Fortune to turn off its engine, then spoke mysteriously:

"But it's obvious that I'm not an ordinary person."

Daisy's eyes lit up upon hearing this:

"Are you planning to just bulldoze this entire bamboo forest and force your way through?"

"That's too inelegant, it doesn't suit my style~" Peter replied with an smug look on his face.

Thinking back to Peter's performance in New York, where he single-handedly destroyed the entire Hell's Kitchen and gave the Hudson River a middle part, Daisy's lips twitched involuntarily.

Elegant? Are you sure that word has anything to do with you?

Just as he was thinking this, a flash of light appeared on the storage ring on Peter's hand.

A golden necklace appeared out of thin air in his palm. The necklace was made entirely of gold and inlaid with dazzling gemstones. The moment it was taken out, it almost made the dimly lit carriage brighter.

It is the Eye of Aurora!

"So beautiful..."

Daisy's attention was instantly drawn to it. As everyone knows, girls are like dragons; they have absolutely no resistance to shiny things.

"But what does that have to do with how we get out of here?"

"This isn't an ordinary necklace," Peter explained, holding the Eye of Aurora up to Daisy's eyes.

"It can teleport us anywhere we want to go."

"Anywhere?"

Daisy was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but ask in return:

"Why didn't we use this when we left New York?"

"Because I just received this yesterday..."

Daisy was clearly curious about Peter's explanation, but she knew very well what questions she should and shouldn't ask, so she simply let Peter take her hand.

After taking Daisy's hand, Peter spoke to the Eye of Aurora:

"Go to Tarot Village."

The moment the words left their mouths, a rift appeared in the air in front of them.

Golden light burst forth from the crack, forming a diamond-shaped portal that swallowed Peter and Daisy whole.

Daisy felt the world spinning around her for about half a second.

When she came to her senses, the bamboo forest had disappeared, replaced by a pastoral landscape that left her speechless.

The stream flows gently, and the paths crisscross the land.

There were also a bunch of strange creatures around her that she had never heard of before.

There were chubby, eyeless furballs slowly rolling around, a little fox with fluffy silver-white fur and nine tails swaying behind it lazily licking its fur, and a large creature that looked like a deer but had a mix of different creature characteristics on its body, watching them warily by the stream.

"This is... Tarot Village?" Daisy murmured, completely stunned by the beautiful scenery before her.

But just then...

swoosh~

An arrow pierced the air!

Peter didn't even raise his head; he simply held up two fingers and precisely stopped the arrow less than three inches from his brow.

He glanced at the arrow held between his fingers: the arrowhead was actually made of some kind of scales, gleaming with a holy, cold light in the setting sun.

Peter raised his hand, and half of his arm was immediately covered by vibranium armor.

Peter raised the arrow and thrust it at the vibranium arm armor. After the two collided and burst into dazzling sparks, neither of them suffered any damage.

"So this is dragon scales?" Peter couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "The defensive capabilities are truly impressive!"

Just as he was thinking this, dozens of villagers clad in scale armor and wielding dragon scale weapons surged out from all directions.

A burly man with a full beard walked at the front, holding a large, dragon-scaled sword, the tip of which was pointed directly at Peter's throat.

"Who are you? How did you get in?"

Daisy instinctively took a half step back, and ripples of shockwaves appeared on her arm.

Peter smiled slightly at the villagers and then said:

"Don't worry, we mean no harm. On the contrary, we're here to help you solve your problem!"

"Trouble?" The burly man with the thick beard's expression changed, but he quickly spoke with a firm tone:

"Our Tarot Village has no problems. I don't care how you got in, leave now!"

Seeing the other party's tough attitude, Peter's eyes changed instantly.

Immediately following.

An invisible pressure suddenly emanated from his body—

Conqueror's Haki!

Without any warning, the villagers' knees buckled and they immediately knelt down in a flurry.

Even the burly man with the thick beard could only grit his teeth and hold on for three seconds before collapsing to his knees with a thud.

"I told you, I meant no harm." Peter withdrew his domineering aura, his tone remaining perfectly calm.

"But if you insist on taking action, I don't mind letting you calm down for a while first."

At this point, Peter smiled again and looked at the burly man with the thick beard, asking:

"Are you calm now?"
