Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

Chen Mo directly traded the poisoned dagger to Lao Zhang, who was overjoyed upon seeing it.

"Great card! Perfect for me. You're a nice guy, buddy. When I first met you, I really thought you were a cold and heartless person. Now I see, you're a bit of a brooding type... no, I mean, you're all smiles on the outside but warm on the inside. Don't worry, I won't take your card for nothing. I'll definitely find you a blue card to trade for. Just wait for me!"

At this point, Old Zhang seemed to remember something and quickly traded some items to Chen Mo as well.

"Oh, right, I found some clothes and clean water in this house. You can use these for now, boss. I have to go now, I heard footsteps... Could this be that corrupt priest's house...?"

Old Zhang muttered to himself as he traded some clothes and a large wooden kettle filled with water to Chen Mo.

The clothes were very clean, and Chen Mo quickly changed into them. He also took a sip of the water in the kettle; it was indeed quite good, with hardly any impurities.

Okay, consider this a way of collecting some card interest in advance.

Covered in a black robe, Chen Mo cut off parts of his trousers and sleeves to avoid hindering his movements, making him look like a normal long-sleeved man in trousers and sleeves.

He washed his face with water to remove the blood and dirt from his face and hair, and then Chen Mo started working, moving stones.

I must say, after my blood volume increased, I did feel a significant improvement in my physical condition.

If this were on Earth, Chen Mo would absolutely not be able to lift such a large rock, nor could he possibly carry it for an hour without even breaking a sweat.

It took most of the day to move the materials before a gap finally appeared in the passageway.

Chen Mo looked inside to make sure it wasn't blocked, then continued to pry the stones with his sword.

While prying it open, Chen Mo was also browsing the trading marketplace.

After talking with Lao Zhang, he realized that the trading platform could actually be used like a mobile phone. It just required constantly monitoring the messages.

Unfortunately, the trading marketplace seems to only show people on the same level as him, not those on lower levels. And his current level of nine is definitely too high for others.

Chen Mo absolutely refused to believe that he and Lao Zhang were the only ones still alive in the Divine Soul Tower. He figured it was just because the others hadn't made it as fast as he and Lao Zhang.

Sigh, it's all because of those corrupt cultists. It makes me so angry just thinking about it.

I need to kill more corrupt cultists to get their cards in order to vent my anger.

It took about half a day for Chen Mo to finally squeeze into the passage and walk slowly out, while also repairing the torn and hardened stone in advance.

We'll hold off on using Soul Flame for now, since my health isn't very high. We can use Ultimate Bloodthirst later when I've recovered from the life drain. I've also used Regeneration Bottle once, but I won't use it for now either.

At the end of the passage was another wooden door. Chen Mo gently pushed the door open, peeking out through the crack.

Suddenly, Chen Mo realized that he had returned to the church, meaning that he had entered through the right door and was now exiting through the left.

The church was no longer empty; a corrupt believer knelt before the "heart," seemingly in devout prayer.

Chen Mo looked around carefully and confirmed that there was nothing else there.

Chen Mo suddenly pushed open the door and rushed forward, stabbing the corrupt cultist twice. Before the cultist could react, Chen Mo stabbed him to the ground.

It's a pity that Chen Mo's body wasn't completely torn back together; otherwise, two sword strikes would have killed him.

But now, Chen Mo could only deliver another sword strike, then aim at the direction the corrupt cultist was about to throw the "poison bottle," dodge it by circling behind him, and deliver another sword strike.

With four sword strikes, the corrupt cultist collapsed to the ground.

Just as Chen Mo was about to see what cards he would get, suddenly, black energy surged from the corrupt cultist's body, and then his body floated up strangely.

What's going on?

Before Chen Mo could understand what was happening, he saw the corrupt cultist's head explode, and then two black chains were released from his neck, attacking the surroundings frantically.

Chen Mo immediately raised his shield and retreated, but was still hit by the chains.

Chen Mo's arm trembled immediately.

I'm losing health!

That last hit definitely dealt at least 12 points of damage. Judging from the frenzied attacks of those black chains, it was probably multi-hit damage.

Holding up his shield, Chen Mo distanced himself from it.

After its frenzied attack, it began to search around, clearly indicating that it had lost its sight.

Chen Mo judged the opponent's disadvantage, so he began to quietly circle around and slowly approach.

When the time was right, he rushed forward and swung his sword. Before the opponent could retaliate, he raised his shield and thrust repeatedly.

The corrupt cultist swung his black chains, striking Chen Mo's shield with a clanging sound, but he only managed to hit it twice before Chen Mo's sword pierced his chest.

The corrupt cultist stopped abruptly and fell to the ground again, this time turning into dust completely and quickly.

Chen Mo frowned. Had he encountered an "elite monster" among the corrupt cultists?

He bent down to pick up the cards and coins, but his brows furrowed even more.

Judging from the amount of gold coins dropped, it's definitely not at the level of an elite monster.

What went wrong?

Chen Mo was filled with doubt, and then glanced at the card that had been revealed.

Hmm, another Soul Locking Card. I'll keep it for burning cards.

Slowly, Chen Mo walked to the front of the church and pushed the door open a little further.

Then, Chen Mo found out what had happened.

The outside world had become much darker, and a black sun hung high in the sky.

The shape of a solar eclipse is black in the center and bright around the edges.

With the black sun high in the sky, the entire ninth floor looked completely different.

Looking into the village, one could see a group of villagers dancing wildly as if they had gone mad.

They danced with wide smiles, their movements both joyful and eerie. Behind them, black mist swirled like snakes.

Chen Mo was certain that these villagers, like the corrupted cultists from before, had been "enhanced" under the Black Sun; they were more like they had prematurely activated their undead transformation.

Trouble, big trouble!

Chen Mo gritted his teeth. The best course of action for him at this moment was, of course, to wait until the dark day ended before going out.

Otherwise, it wouldn't feel like being "warmly welcomed" by these "enthusiastic" villagers.

Instead, they want to capture them and then "slaughter and dance" with them.

Chen Mo thought that maybe he should go back to the underground prison and wait out the rest of the time.

But at that moment, he saw several corrupt believers leading a large group of villagers slowly walking toward the church.

He held a shovel and a pickaxe in his hand.

Judging from their demeanor, they didn't seem to be there to pray devoutly; they looked more like they were digging for stones to find someone.

It's likely that these corrupt cultists only started acting after things had completely quieted down below. Chen Mo certainly didn't want to be "dug up" by them.

We must withdraw!

Chen Mo first opened the trading mall and left a message for Lao Zhang, regardless of whether Lao Zhang could see it now.

"Meet me at the giant gate outside the village!"

Then, taking advantage of the fact that the corrupted believers were not watching, Chen Mo immediately "quietly" left.

He slowed his pace and lowered his body, but after taking only two steps, Chen Mo heard another shriek.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Mo turned his head to look.

Sure enough, a four-armed boy was squatting in the corner.

How can there be someone like you?!

Still yelling? You should just die first.

Take this sword!
