Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

Chapter 127 Nails, Target: Boss Monster!

I'll rest for a day first. Recovering health over time is too slow. I need to find some more monsters. Fortunately, there are a lot of floating algae here, so recovering health shouldn't be too difficult.

Chen Mo waved the forbidden object in front of the silver statue again and again, but it still failed to turn into a card.

Chen Mo pondered that the problem might not be with the forbidden object, but with the statue.

Perhaps replacing it with a golden statue or a statue made of flesh and blood would work.

After eating and drinking their fill, Chen Mo and Lao Zhang prepared to continue their journey.

Chen Mo himself didn't feel anything was wrong, but Lao Zhang was bursting with confidence, feeling as if the boss monster was no longer worth mentioning.

He kept saying, "Boss, can we get to the 90th floor as quickly as possible?"

"If the boss monster on each floor drops one piece of equipment, could we consider selling it and exchanging it for cards or something?"

"Boss, what's your wish? I'm thinking of trying to make more wishes. How about I make a list of wishes, and then when I make my final wish, I just take out the list and let it fulfill all the wishes on it?"

Chen Mo felt that Lao Zhang had become arrogant and no longer took the monsters of the Divine Tower seriously.

In Lao Zhang's words, Chen Mo, who had already obtained the God Card, was like someone playing a game with cheat codes; clearing the game was a given. Now, their goal was a perfect clear, something even Chen Mo didn't possess.

After recovering their health, Chen Mo and Lao Zhang returned to the boatman's place.

At this moment, the boatman hid the small boat behind a relic stone. Seeing that Chen Mo and Lao Zhang had returned safely, the boatman quickly rowed over.

"Honorable Cardholder, have you found the forbidden monster? Is the Bishop also there? Has the seal been broken?"

The boatman had many questions, but Chen Mo simply replied calmly, "They're all dead!"

"Huh? Dead? His Excellency the Bishop is dead too? The forbidden monster is dead too?"

The boatman looked incredulous, though it was unclear whether he didn't believe in Chen Mo's strength or in the fact that the bishop was dead.

Chen Mo didn't say much, only waving his hand and saying, "Let's go, we should go catch some Heavenly Mushrooms."

The boatman suddenly put down his oar and said excitedly, "Respected Card Master, are you sure they're all dead? Could you wait for me a moment, just a moment? Perhaps I can find what His Holiness the Bishop hid. These things may be insignificant to a Card Master like you, but they are incredibly important to me. I only need a little time. I swear on my soul, I will never betray you, never. If I betray you, may I be forever damned, reduced to a snail on the first level, and killed a billion times over."

Chen Mo frowned slightly. Did the bishop have something else he was hiding?

Old Zhang shrugged and thought there was no problem, so he let him go find it. Judging from the oath he made, it didn't seem like he was lying.

"I'll give you half an hour!"

Chen Mo glanced at his big gold watch, and the boatman immediately rushed forward like a madman, muttering all sorts of words that Chen Mo couldn't understand.

Old Zhang crossed his arms and said, "Boss, this guy's got some interesting tidbits. It's rare to see such a clever corrupt cultist; his brain hasn't completely degenerated yet. Have you considered planting a nail in there?"

Chen Mo was slightly puzzled by "nails?"

Old Zhang replied, "Yes, nails. Just in case we run into those corrupt cult members again and have no information whatsoever. I think he can also go to other levels. Let's give it a try!"

Chen Mo didn't seem to care and said slowly, "If you want to try, then go ahead."

"Okay, then I'll spend some gold coins. This time it's on me, no problem."

Old Zhang stroked his chin, deep in thought, seemingly generating a brilliant idea.

Chen Mo had been wanting to ask a question, and now he finally spoke up: "What exactly do these corrupt cultists want the gold coins for?"

Can we exchange items for them too?

Old Zhang actually knew the answer to this question.

"Yes, although they definitely don't exchange them directly like we do, but they seem to have other ways to exchange for supplies. And they can even collect gold coins!"

"Eat gold coins?"

Chen Mo looked slightly puzzled.

Old Zhang nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, it's about eating. Have you ever seen a monster eat gold coins? Monsters change after eating too many; the most basic change is that they get bigger and become stronger monsters with more health. These corrupt cultists are the same; they also change, but it's not clear in what direction. Maybe they'll have more usable cards?"

Chen Mo suddenly remembered that Xiao Ye and Lu Xin seemed to have mentioned something similar on the tenth floor, so it was probably true.

Sure enough, these corrupt cultists were not much different from the monsters.

Less than half an hour later, about twenty minutes later, the boatman came running back carrying his load.

Chen Mo was idly browsing the shop, checking if anyone else was chatting on his floor.

Unfortunately, it seemed that besides him and Old Zhang, there was no one else on this floor. Of course, this doesn't mean there weren't other people on the 17th floor. It's just that perhaps everyone is just not into chatting. There are simply too few people on the 17th floor at the same time.

"Dear Cardholder, thank you for your generosity. I have found the Sealed Water and some Corrupted Blood."

The boatman looked as if he were holding up a stone pot, inside which were water and blood, clearly separated.

One was pure black, the other was purplish. It was really hard to tell which side was blood and which side was water.

Chen Mo asked Lao Zhang to scoop out a little bit from the small bottle, and then tried the Dark Refining technique, but found it to be useless.

That means it's not a special item they can use either.

Chen Mo and Lao Zhang kept a small amount, and the boatman kept the rest.

The boatman was deeply grateful and repeated his promise that he would never betray them. Old Zhang then smiled and slipped gold coins into his hand, before giving him some "special instructions."

Old Zhang and the boatman seemed to be on the same wavelength, chatting happily.

"Listen to me, and I guarantee you'll soar to great heights within the Corrupt Cult!"

"Really? Your Excellency, Cardholder."

"Absolutely, no problem at all. And if you need anything else, just ask me, or if that doesn't work, ask the big shots—they can handle it all!"

Chen Mo ignored them, boarded the ship directly, and then unfolded the map to look at it.

Heavenly Mushroom, Boss Monster —

The boss monster on this floor doesn't seem particularly powerful based on its stats; fighting it head-on shouldn't be a problem.

But if the other party goes into the water, it could be very troublesome.

The most important issue now is to ensure that the other side cannot go into the water.

Chen Mo gritted his teeth, thinking about what to do and whether he could trap it.

Chen Mo immediately thought of his dark shackles.

This card might be the only way to deal with the boss monster this time.

Therefore, the demon form must be activated as soon as possible to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

Having made up his mind, Chen Mo decided to try a different playing style this time.

It should work!
