Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

"Another treasure chest!"

Old Zhang followed behind Chen Mo, craning his neck to look inside.

This time, Old Zhang didn't make the same mistake and try to open it. His experience with the treasure chest from last time was still fresh in his mind.

Chen Mo slowly stepped forward and glanced at the treasure chest a few more times.

He stabbed it with his sword first to confirm it wasn't a mimic. Looking at the chains binding the treasure chest, Chen Mo guessed that it contained some special monster or something extraordinary.

Sure enough, Chen Mo soon found the lock on the treasure chest, and there were words engraved near the keyhole.

"Do not open!"

Chen Mo and Lao Zhang were both very familiar with these four words; the Shadow Assassin had used them in the last incident.

Old Zhang stroked his chin and said, "Boss, I sense another big monster! Should we kill it?"

Old Zhang looked worried, clearly still shaken by what had happened last time.

Chen Mo, however, had another idea and took out a key from his backpack.

The black key seemed to perfectly match the black treasure chest. The key had been dropped by the Shadow Assassin. Chen Mo frowned, his mind replaying only the four words on the notebook.

"Don't be curious!"

Old Zhang, seeing the key Chen Mo took out and then glancing at the lock on the treasure chest, exclaimed in surprise, "It seems like a perfect match! Boss, where did you get the key? Do you even know what's inside?"

Chen Mo shook his head to indicate that he did not know, and that he also intended to heed the advice in the notes.

Don't be curious; if you don't court death, you won't die.

Thinking this, Chen Mo decided to put the key back and throw it away when his backpack was full.

But at that moment, the key seemed to sense something and suddenly flew out of Chen Mo's hand on its own.

Immediately afterwards, right in front of Chen Mo and Lao Zhang, it flew straight into the keyhole, causing Chen Mo's expression to change drastically.

Old Zhang, standing nearby, was still in astonishment: "Remote unlocking? Wow, you've got that skill too!"

Chen Mo pushed Lao Zhang towards the door, while simultaneously preparing his sword and shield and assuming a fighting stance.

Seeing Chen Mo's actions, Lao Zhang realized that this wasn't some fancy remote lock-picking technique, but rather that something bad was about to happen.

Click click click!

The chains snapped, and the black treasure chest burst open with a bang.

This time, instead of a shadow assassin popping out, a black mushroom head slowly crawled out from inside.

Its body is not tall, only about 100 centimeters. Its head is mushroom-shaped, like an open umbrella.

With short limbs, small eyes, and a smiling mouth, it hopped and skipped happily after getting out of the box.

Although Chen Mo wouldn't judge a book by its cover, he had suffered at the hands of Shadow Chicken before.

But the monster in front of them didn't look like a powerful monster at all, let alone an elite one.

Chen Mo didn't choose to attack it for a moment, while Old Zhang beside him said in a surprised voice, "Who would keep a mushroom locked up here? Boss, do you think it's possible that this mushroom is particularly delicious?"

As soon as Old Zhang finished speaking, the mushroom monster immediately looked at the two of them, as if it had heard the sensitive word "eat".

However, the mushroom monster did not launch an attack the next moment. Instead, it seemed to carefully observe Chen Mo and Lao Zhang.

Then the mushroom monster made a squeaking sound from its mouth, and Chen Mo thought it was finally going to attack. But unexpectedly, it transformed into human form right in front of Chen Mo and Lao Zhang.

With the Green Dust Sword in his left hand and the Black Scale Shield in his right, his expression was exaggerated and his posture was alluring.

The mushroom monster had actually transformed into Chen Mo's appearance!

Chen Mo was stunned, and Lao Zhang kept exclaiming "Holy crap!"

They were exactly the same – hairstyle, skin, even clothes.

Chen Mo's heart tightened, wondering if he was about to be challenged to a fight!

When it comes to fighting monsters, even if the monsters are very powerful, he has confidence because of the stacked tearing attacks.

But when it comes to fighting against himself, Chen Mozhen has no confidence at all, and there is a high possibility that he will be unable to break through his moves.

Chen Mo's eyelids started twitching as he looked at his own exaggerated expression, feeling utterly absurd.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

After transforming into Chen Mo, the monster didn't attack. Instead, it continued posing and even waved at Chen Mo.

What does that mean?

Do you want to get beaten up?

Get into position so I can hit you?

Chen Mo didn't understand at first, and Old Zhang whispered beside him, "That's too damn annoying, I can't stand it anymore. Boss, let's get him!"

Chen Mo gripped the Green Dust Sword tightly, but did not act rashly. He felt that this monster did not seem to want to fight them, but rather wanted to play a game with them.

Correct!

It's just playing games.

Once Chen Mo understood this, he suddenly guessed what the monster meant.

You're not asking me to imitate it, are you?

Slowly, Chen Mo imitated the monster's movements, striking an eye-catching pose with his legs spread and arms outstretched.

If you were standing like this back on Earth, it wouldn't be unusual to get beaten up five times a day while standing on the street corner.

When the monster saw Chen Mozhen strike this pose, it immediately clutched its stomach and burst into laughter, making Chen Mozhen want to punch it.

"Squeak squeak squeak".

The monster clapped its hands in satisfaction, then transformed back into a mushroom.

Opening its mouth, the mushroom monster's hand reached inside and began to feel around.

Chen Mo and Lao Zhang watched as it pulled out a whole bunch of bottles and jars, including glass bottles, tattered clothes, and magazines they didn't recognize, but they were obviously colored, with particularly scantily clad cover girls.

Finally, the mushroom monster seemed to have found something good and threw it to Chen Mo.

It was a small stone statue, and Chen Mo could tell at a glance that the figure carved in the statue was the Blood Guardian.

However, this Blood Guardian looks quite different from the Blood Guardian statues that Chen Mo had seen before.

The Blood Guardian on the statue is majestic and imposing, exuding an aura of power.

But this stone statue somehow looks like a defeated knight.

There is another line of text below the stone statue.

Forbidden Statue: Devouring, Merging, Rebirth.

When Chen Mo saw the word "forbidden," his pupils contracted violently.

The second forbidden item!

Immediately afterwards, the stone statue began to tremble wildly in Chen Mo's hands, and at the same time, Chen Mo could feel a heat wave being drawn into his body.

The stone statue melted in his hand and turned into a card. It was a black card again, and Chen Mo held his breath.

Once the black card had completely transformed, Chen Mo saw the image on the front of it: the Blood Guardian kneeling on one knee, his body mangled.

Flip it over to see the card effect.

Forbidden Curse: Increases maximum health by 10 for each curse card consumed.

(Note: Using forbidden power will attract the attention of the Soul Tower.)

Cursed Card?

This was the first time Chen Mo had heard of this kind of card; he had never encountered any cursed cards before.

Is this a new card type, or some kind of special card?

"What are curse cards?"

Old Zhang also leaned over to take a look. Although he didn't understand what a curse card was, it undoubtedly looked very useful. Old Zhang even wanted to get two as soon as possible. Cards that could increase maximum health were definitely good stuff!
