My exclusive card pool

Chapter 26 Two Big Slimes (Please Read)

After saying that, Dr. Anton turned around and continued to work busy at his desk.

Wang Xi held the black card, deep in thought.

"Is this a subtle reminder that, with my current strength, I'm still unable to fully unleash its power?"

he thought.

After putting the cards away properly, Wang Xi lay down and fell asleep.

A quiet night.

The next day, Wang Xi, who was hospitalized for recuperation, found an opportunity to secretly use "photosynthesis" after the nurse checked and changed his dressings, hiding by the window of the ward to bask in the sun.

He was injured and it was not convenient for him to use body-building methods, so he had to use this boring and free time to improve his physical fitness a little.

There was just a small incident in the middle.

An old man in a wheelchair downstairs accidentally looked towards the window of Wang Xi's ward. He looked like he had seen a ghost. He stared with his eyes and opened his mouth and made a noise for a long time. He stretched out his finger tremblingly and was almost killed by a mouthful of phlegm.

Even the nurse who saw this was scared to death, thinking that the old man was going to ascend to heaven on the spot.

He was in a coma and delirium, trying to sort out the threads in the air.

Isn't it exactly like this...

Fortunately, Wang Xi ducked his head in time and hid.

Think about it too.

The old man, half of his body lying in the coffin, suddenly saw a ghost face with green face and fangs appearing from behind the ward window. He probably thought that the ghost was there to see him off.

Wang Xi opened his phone as quickly as possible.

Then he cut out the electronic wooden fish and pressed it a few times.

Da da da……

The words "Merit +1" kept jumping on the screen.

His tense green face relaxed slightly.

I almost owed you merit.

In the afternoon, he did not dare to bask in the sun, but studied hard to prepare for the professional warrior assessment next month.

At about half past three, Caius in my mind gave a prompt that the cooling time of the projection was ready.

Projection hosted

World: Fairy Tale

Exploration: 0.34%

"Cooling down is complete, you can descend."

Wang Xi put down his phone, found a comfortable position to lie down, closed his eyes, and chose to descend.

Consciousness sinks and the environment changes.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting alone on a patch of grass. A bonfire was burning nearby, and four or five armored caravan guards were sitting around chatting.

The horses and carriages were parked on the other side. Steward White was checking and counting the goods with a rolled-edge parchment. Guard Captain Bennett stood beside him, whispering something from time to time.

"Are you setting up camp to rest?"

Wang Xi glanced at the sky. It was evening in this other world as well, the sun setting in the west, and the sky was turning yellow.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from behind.

"Kayi, I got you some food..."

Godalil came over with dried fish, bread and apples in her hands, her face full of worry.

When she saw the young man turn his head, she was startled at first. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Godali suddenly showed a look of surprise, then hugged Wang Xi.

He didn't even care when food fell to the ground.

"Gai! You're finally awake!"

Godalil cried with joy, her eyes red.

"I don't quite remember what happened during this period..."

Wang Xi patted the girl's back gently and asked in a low voice.

Godalil loosened her arms and wiped her eyes.

"Kayi, your 'Ice Heart Curse' has struck again. You haven't spoken much in the fourteen days since leaving Buchanan. Even to me, you only occasionally respond, but your attitude is very cold..."

She sounded rather sad.

After Godalier's explanation, Wang Xi finally understood what had happened during the period of projection hosting.

After his consciousness returned to the main world, the hosted projection became quite dull. When others spoke to him, they would only respond with simple, cold words.

This situation was soon discovered by the caravan members. At first, they were confused and thought they had offended this companion who had joined them halfway.

After Godalier's explanation, everyone realized that the young man was actually a "person with an ice heart"!
They had traveled extensively and had seen a lot, so naturally they had encountered "Ice Heart People" before, and their situation was indeed similar. After the misunderstanding was resolved, the crowd did not feel any disgust towards him, but rather felt more pity for him.

Because in the public's perception, "ice-hearted people" often do not live long, and their personalities are mostly indifferent and cold-blooded.

There's no need to argue with a dying person.

"During this period, the caravan encountered two road robberies, but we managed to get through both without any danger..."

Godalil wiped her tears and continued.

She said the first robbers were a group of refugees. First, two half-grown children were lying in the middle of the road. Then, when the caravan stopped, a dozen skinny, half-dressed men rushed out, armed with sickles, axes, and pitchforks.

But the caravan was also experienced and well prepared. Facing the seven or eight heavily armed caravan guards, the refugees were powerless, and the battle was hastily over in just a few minutes.

We fought for nothing in exchange for more than ten casualties.

The guards were covered in blood but unharmed, while the refugees were completely wiped out. The two children who had pretended to be dead saw the situation was dire and ran away. Steward White didn't order anyone to pursue them; he simply moved the bodies away and continued on his way.

"Armored versus unarmored, it's a massacre."

Wang Xi shook his head secretly.

What's more, the caravan guards are all young and strong men who have practiced martial arts. Their food quality and combat experience are overwhelming. They are not the kind of people that a group of refugees can fool.

Friends who often kill people must know that even if the number of refugees increases several times, they will not pose a threat to the caravan.

Godalil's narration continued.

The caravan was attacked for the second time by armored bandits who were equal in number to the guards.

It was supposed to be a tough battle, but the guard captain Bennett used all his strength and knocked down both men in one encounter.

Meanwhile, the impassive Gai unleashed his prowess. First, he headshotted one with a crossbow, the bolt hitting Hu Helmet's face where it couldn't defend. Then, he charged forward with his longsword, slashing two more, his presence no less impressive than Bennett's. Led by these two ruthless men, the caravan secured another complete victory without suffering a single casualty.

After hearing this, Wang Xi roughly understood the whole situation.

"It seems that projection hosting will still retain my card abilities, but the strength it can exert will be greatly limited... After all, it's not smart enough and too rigid."

He secretly thought.

Wang Xi picked up the dried fish, bread and apple on the ground, brushed off the grass and dust on them, and started eating them nonchalantly.

He also noticed that the bandage on his left hand had been removed, but the wound had almost healed and there was no sign of worsening infection.

This is obviously due to Godalil's efforts.

"Thank you for taking care of me during this time, Godaril."

Wang Xi wiped the apple in his hand again, handed it to the girl, and thanked her with a smile.

Godalil felt sweet in her heart. She took the apple, took a bite, and said hesitantly, "It's so sweet."

After finishing his meal, Wang Xi felt a sour odor on his body. He had been so busy trying to understand the situation that he hadn't noticed it before, but now the more he smelled it, the stronger it became.

Even Godalil, who was standing next to him, had a foul smell.

Wang Xi asked in a low voice.

Godalil felt a little embarrassed and her cheeks flushed.

How can you not smell bad if you don’t take a shower for more than ten days?
It's more than just smelly.

Still stinks!

Wang Xi was stained with blood, and Godalier wiped it several times but couldn't get it clean...

Wang Xi, who was a little overwhelmed, suddenly stood up and walked towards the campfire.

"Everyone, is there any water source nearby?"

As he approached and asked, the guards stopped chatting and turned to look at him.

Everyone looked a little surprised.

They seemed to be surprised that Gai, who had been paralyzed for more than ten days, would actually take the initiative to strike up a conversation. Noticing the smile on the young man's face and the lively look in his eyes, they understood something.

This is the curse temporarily subsiding.

"Brother Gay, there's a stream behind those woods."

Polk, who had been defeated by Wang Xi, put down the baked potato in his hand, pointed in a direction with his knife and smiled.

"If you want to go, hurry up. It's almost night, and the forest isn't safe. Besides wild beasts, there might even be monsters..."

Monster...

It should be a fantasy creature similar to a goblin.

Wang Xi nodded, thanked him, and turned back.

"Godalille, I'm going to take a shower."

"Can I go with you?" Hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up, but she hesitated and said, "Actually, I've wanted to take a shower for a long time, but I never had the chance, and it's not very convenient..."

"Okay." Wang Xi smiled. "Follow me."

Godalil's face lit up with joy. She stood up quickly, clutching the hem of her skirt, and followed closely behind him.

The two of them walked more than a hundred meters away from the caravan camp, through a sparse forest, and soon arrived at a stream.

The stream is only three or four meters wide and half a meter deep. The water is clear and you can see pebbles of all sizes at the bottom.

"You wash first, I'll help you take care of the surroundings."

Wang Xi whispered to the girl.

Godalil smiled sweetly and hummed.

She felt that since leaving Randall, Gay had become more gentle and considerate than before, and was no longer as arrogant and rude as before.

Although she didn't know the reason for his change, Godalil asked herself and realized that she did like the current Gay more.

When Godalil arrived at the stream, she slowly took off her smelly dirty clothes in the evening.

She looked back cautiously, but saw only bushes and no sign of the young man.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed.

If Gai peeked, I would probably be angry... well, just a little angry.

Just for a moment.

At this moment, Wang Xi leaned against a tree, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth. He touched the hunting crossbow on his shoulder, then placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, closed his eyes and listened.

In the darkness, everything was quiet.

The only sound was the rustling of the breeze through the vegetation.

Soon, he heard Godalil's heartbeat.

Not far behind me.

'There are no beasts or humans around...'

Wang Xi opened his eyes and released the "Listen to Heartbeat" function.

He actually knew very well that Godalil had feelings for him...but wasn't this a burden?

"Once we've settled down in the capital, I'll find a chance to explain things to her."

Wang Xi thought secretly.

"what--"

Just then, Godalil's scream was heard.

Wang Xi frowned.

This plot has a strong sense of déjà vu. Why do accidents always happen when a woman takes a bath?

He didn't have time to continue complaining as he grabbed the hilt of his sword and rushed out of the woods.

As soon as he arrived at the stream, Wang Xi looked shocked.

"Damn! Two huge, white slimes!"
