Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

"Jiao Ganyuan, Yin Changfeng, and Wu Sisi are in charge of rear guard, Li Xun and I walk at the front, and Bai Miao and Gong Wanning walk in the middle."

Bai Miao, the task of tracking down Xiao Mingzhe is now yours.

You Siming succinctly arranged everyone's position and responsibilities.

With his brush, he continuously wrote the character "探" (tàn, meaning "explore"), each stroke probing into every part of the cabin to detect danger.

The cabin was pitch black; even with Bai Miao activating his Spirit Art Nine - Bright Light Spirit, it could only illuminate an area of ​​less than ten meters.

Bai Miao activated his vision sharing feature, and dark golden threads densely wrapped around the cabin. He was dazzled by the bright golden light and shed two physiological tears.

The threads connecting Xiao Mingzhe's fate were not hard to find; Bai Miao pointed in a direction.

As You Siming wrote the character "疾" (swift), Bai Miao clearly felt his pace quicken unconsciously, and the group quickly chased after Xiao Mingzhe.

The ship's cabin was like a maze, dark and impenetrable. The character "探" (tan, meaning "explorer") in You Siming's writing represents a scout, someone who explores the dangers in the darkness for the team.

No one doubted that Bai Miao's directions were incorrect, even though sometimes Bai Miao made the group turn left four times in a row.

Li Xun initially had doubts about Bai Miao's abilities, but after they encountered the remains of demonic beasts devoured by countless insects, Li Xun's doubts completely disappeared.

Yu Siming could certainly see that the path Bai Miao pointed out was accurate, but he became increasingly curious about Bai Miao's card abilities.

Skilled card collectors usually rely on certain methods: some rely on scent, some on traces, some on magnetic fields, and some on mediums.

However, he couldn't figure out what Bai Miao was relying on for his pursuit; it was as if there was always a line in Bai Miao's eyes, constantly guiding the direction.

Such a tracking ability is extremely rare, no wonder Yun Chuxiu treasures Bai Miao.

"Retreat! Everyone be careful!" Yu Siming wrote the character "shield" under his pen, and a huge psionic shield was placed in front of the team, blocking the massive dragon claw that stabbed from the darkness.

Li Xun moved swiftly, his Falling Star Sword weaving into a starry sky sword array, falling into the darkness, the sounds of sharp blades striking blunt objects ringing out one after another.

A monstrous beast with a dragon's head and a human body appeared in the light of spiritual energy, roaring and howling in a manner unlike that of a human.

Li Xun's killing move failed to cause much damage to the monster, but it did indeed enrage it.

"My Starry Sky Sword Formation can even break through the defenses of a third-tier card master without breaking the screen, yet it can't even leave a mark on this monster!"

Li Xun judged that the monster's strength was at least at the third level. Judging from the tattered cloth on its body, this monster was the same one they had encountered before, the one that had been devoured by the black insects.

The monster leaped into the air, its dragon head instantly swelling to the size of the passageway, and began to devour the team.

Two pitch-black characters flew into the monster's mouth, and a heavy explosion resounded inside the monster's skull. Blood, flesh, and brain matter rained down on the "shield" that You Siming had erected.

"This monster is quite powerful. Although its spiritual energy is only at the third level, its physical body is approaching that of a fourth-level card master. Li Xun, if we encounter another monster later, don't be reckless; prioritize your own safety."

Before You Siming could finish speaking, two identical demonic beasts appeared at the back of the group. Jiao Beiyao activated [Mithril Manipulation], gripped the greatsword forged from mithril with both hands, and with a sweeping motion, both demonic beasts were turned into mincemeat.

The group thought these monsters were just a minor incident, but they didn't expect that the number of monsters would increase so much that they would eventually block them in the cabin passageway.

Gong Wanning's palms were soaked with sweat. Her card, [Moonlight Draw], not only draws moonlight to attack, but also provides buffs to her teammates.

The team encountered too many monsters, and even though they didn't have to face them directly, Gong Wanning, who stayed in the center of the team, had her spiritual energy severely depleted.

Li Xun was covered in blood, mostly from demonic beasts, and his most serious injury was on his arm.

Even though You Siming managed to steal a moment from his busy schedule to give him a "medical" treatment, his arm injury was only stabilized.

Wu Sisi's Radiant Unicorn, its forehead horn glowing dimly, clearly could not hold on for much longer.

"I suspect that Xiao Mingzhe has already noticed that we are following him, so he deliberately led us to an area densely populated with monsters."

You Siming used his brush to write the character "刀" (knife), and the blade swept across, slaying the last few demonic beasts blocking the way.

Jiao Beiyao was faster than him and had already dealt with the monsters at the back of the team. He rummaged through his pockets for a long time but couldn't find a pack of cigarettes.

"No doubt about it, because I can already smell the bedbugs."

Jiao Beiyao raised his hand, and a mithril spear materialized in his palm, shooting towards the shadows like lightning.

Ripples spread across the darkness, and a man with an extremely ordinary face emerged from it.

It was none other than Insect Armor, the only remaining Spirit Realm Master under Xiao Mingzhe's command.

"Target: Dangerous individual Bai Miao detected. Initiate annihilation mode."

The insect armor tore open its chest, and each insect armor incarnation was a walking black insect polymer. With this tear, the black insects spread towards the team like a dark cloud.

Black Bug withstood Jiao Beiyao and You Siming's attacks head-on, risking its life and disregarding the cost, and lunged at Bai Miao.

In the insect beetle assessment system, Bai Miao's threat index is much higher than that of Jiao Beiyao and You Siming.

The light-refractive barrier that Wu Sisi erected would shatter at the slightest touch.

Gong Wanning activated her spiritual energy [Moonlight Draw], but the bombardment of moonlight couldn't shake the black insect in the slightest.

Several black insects broke through the encirclement and shot towards Bai Miao. Starlight flashed, and Li Xun's Starry Sky Sword Formation swiftly strangled the black insects.

"No need to thank me," Li Xun turned his head to the side and said stubbornly, "As the main battle card master, this is what I should do."

Bai Miao nodded to him in understanding. The next moment, lightning flashed at his fingertips, and the Zhenmen coin and Xunfeng coin formed the Fenglei Yi, summoning thunder.

A flash of white light appeared in the passageway, and lightning struck the swarm of black insects, igniting a raging inferno.

As the swarm of insects burned to ashes, before everyone could catch their breath, a dozen or so avatars, identical to the insect armor, emerged from the darkness.

A detached, emotionless voice rang out simultaneously from the throats of more than a dozen avatars.

"Bai Miao's danger level has been raised to the highest level, and his kill priority has been raised to the highest level. Enter annihilation mode."

Dozens of avatars exploded simultaneously, and the black insects transformed into a wave that attacked the tunnel from both sides.

Bai Miao's arm was pulled forcefully, and he, along with Wu Sisi, Gong Wanning, Li Xun, Yin Changfeng, and others, were thrown into the nearest cabin.

You Siming and Yin Changfeng stood guard by the door. You Siming wrote the words "Iron Wall" and a thick barrier rose up against the wall.

Yin Changfeng activated [Mithril Manipulation], causing countless mithril particles to form a second barrier.

The walls rumbled and groaned as the swarm of insects relentlessly assaulted the barrier.

Yin Changfeng and You Siming looked solemn. The insect armor posed little threat to them, but its target was Bai Miao.

They had no way to ensure Bai Miao's safety under the onslaught of the insectoids.

"I have a way to get out of this predicament, but I need everyone's trust."
