Magic Card Era: My Deck is Depressing

He really couldn't be of much help with something so dangerous.

All he can do is replenish his energy and restore his vitality; there's really nothing else he can do.

“Cao Zhen, let him lead the way. You go with him to find the token. This is a test for you.”

At this moment, Su Bai no longer wanted to explore this run-down place; he felt there probably wasn't anything good there.

"Let's go. I have a feeling this place is not simple. It seems like something is calling to me." Zhou Qin had a feeling ever since she entered this place, as if information from many years ago remained here.

The longer you stay in this place, the stronger that feeling becomes.

"Then go ahead, I won't see you out!"

Su Bai waved his hand, leaving without taking a single cloud with him.

He doesn't want to go anywhere right now; he just wants to find a quiet place to calm down.

"Alright, I'll go in and take a look."

"Wait, I want to go in too. It feels like it'll be amazing."

Cao Zhen followed Zhou Qin as they explored the world outside the passage.

Only Su Bai remained, lying in front of the passage, staring intently at a spot not far away.

Chapter 426 Separation

Instantly, everything around fell silent.

Su Bai looked at the distance and said, "Come out, stop hiding."

As soon as Su Bai finished speaking, a figure emerged from the wall.

"I am a mountain spirit. I sense an unclaimed mountain on you. May I enter it?"

The monster in front of me looked like a small monkey, but it was clearly different from a monkey.

It is closer to the human form and looks very human.

"You can sense what's inside me?" He had only obtained that mountain during the trial; he had almost forgotten about it if this guy hadn't mentioned it.

I wonder what this guy's purpose is in wanting to go into the mountains?

Just as Su Bai was about to ask, the mountain spirit guessed what Su Bai was thinking and spoke directly.

"I am a being born of nature. To be precise, I am not a mountain spirit, but a stone spirit."

I have no home, and I long for a home of my own, but I'm trapped here and can't get out. I can only hope that someone destined to find me will come.

You should know that no one usually comes to this abyss, let alone helps him.

"Okay, but you have to do as I say."

"No problem, I'm open to following God, all I want right now is to find a home!"

Immortality is not scary; what is scary is loneliness.

The desire for immortality stems from a deep-seated reluctance to relinquish what one has already gained.

But a person who has nothing and no one to rely on wouldn't want to live forever; they'd rather end this absurd life as soon as possible.

And just like that, without moving an inch or even getting off the rocking chair, Su Bai took the spirit under his command.

It's good to have another helper. Su Bai felt that this guy had a good understanding and should be able to learn things quickly.

After a long wait, Zhou Qin and Cao Zhen finally returned.

The two looked exhausted, as if they had been through something.

"It's a good thing you didn't go. There's nothing there, just monsters."

Cao Zhen complained helplessly that the spirits there seemed to have been affected by something and were now in a completely berserk state.

However, once you escape that area, all the monsters will stop chasing you.

They had escaped from a large group of spirits and monsters, hence their exhausted appearance.

"Something must have happened. Have you found the token?"

Zhou Qin reached out and handed the item to Su Bai; this was the token she had found.

This can be considered her explanation to Su Bai.

"I've given you the things; the rest of the journey is up to you."

Su Bai took the items and turned to leave.

At this moment, Cao Zhen called out to Su Bai, "I want to stay here and continue exploring this place. I can't continue with you."

"It's alright. I doubt you can help with what's coming next anyway, so it's better if you don't cause any trouble."

Su Bai left the passage and returned to the Stone Mill Hell.

This time, he was the only one with Junyue and the little white tiger.

"Let's go, we need to face what we have to face."

"But I still haven't found Uncle Stone Mill. I feel like something must have happened to him."

Junyue was somewhat unwilling; she was still worried.

"Then let me help you look for it."

Seeing the disappointment in Junyue's eyes, Su Bai had no choice but to agree.

The steps that were originally supposed to be taken now have to be postponed, but as long as it helps Junyue, that's fine.

"It seems that the only place in this area where there might be a millstone is in the abyss, but judging from their tone, they probably haven't seen one."

"Come out, little monkey!"

As Su Bai spoke, the monkey from before appeared in front of him.

"I ask you, have you ever seen a millstone sink into an abyss?"

The little monkey looked around. He wasn't familiar with this place, but he could guess where it was.

“I saw the stone mill go in, but it went out a few days ago and didn’t stay inside.”

Because he often waited near the exit of the passage, hoping to find someone destined to meet him, he knew everything that happened there.

Hearing what the little monkey said, Su Bai understood that the stone mill must have gone somewhere else.

But there was clearly nothing left to explore in this place; they had already checked it all out.

"I can still sense his presence; it seems to be around here."

The little monkey quickly ran to one side, and Junyue seemed very happy to finally find Uncle Stone Mill, so she followed closely behind.

In the southern part of Hell, in a seemingly ordinary place, the little monkey stopped.

"This is it. The aura disappeared from this place."

They found so many treasures in this place, how could they possibly be hiding anything else?

Su Bai observed with some doubt, and Jun Yue followed suit.

But after waiting for a long time, we didn't find any problems, or even see any changes.

At this moment, the little monkey kept pacing back and forth in place, as if it had discovered something.

"There seems to be energy fluctuation in this place."

There was a grayish-brown pattern on the ground that you wouldn't notice unless you looked closely.

The grayish-brown pattern looks like a giant millstone, though somewhat shallow.

"Junyue, why don't you try to untangle this?"

Junyue nodded her cute little head and then placed her hand on it.

After waiting for a while, she left looking disappointed.

"It's no use, I can't get in touch with them."

"Don't you have collected spiritual energy?"

Su Bai thought of what Jun Yue had collected for Shi Mo, and then spoke up.

It now seems that this place is most likely where the millstone is hidden. The reason it cannot be found is probably because it lacks energy and has become one with this place.

This faint pattern is likely a representation of the millstone itself attached to the ground.

"Yes, how come I didn't think of that?"

So Junyue placed the container filled with spiritual energy directly onto the pattern.

With a whoosh.

The container shattered, and the originally shallow pattern suddenly emitted powerful gusts of air, sweeping spiritual energy downwards.

Looking at what was happening before his eyes, Su Bai felt that he was still too inexperienced.

They had passed by this spot so many times without noticing it, and it was only thanks to a monkey that they were able to spot it.

They are indeed lacking in some areas, and we need to pay more attention to that in the future.

If Su Bai hadn't tamed the monkey, there would have been no way he would have found the millstone.

The thought that his snow mountain was obtained during the trial made Su Bai feel a sense of wonder, as if there really was a rope connecting everything in this place.

"Thank you, little girl!"

A deep, resonant voice came from behind, and Su Bai saw that the pattern had become saturated and even lifelike.

Then a gray light flashed, and the millstone finally appeared before his eyes.

Chapter 427 A Fearless Guy

After the stone mill appeared, Junyue happily skipped over to her side.

"Uncle Stone Mill, you're finally awake."

"Yes, I ran into a bunch of troublesome people and had to help them out, but I overdid it and went into hibernation."
