It was supposed to be a Mythic card set, but what the heck is this Warhammer 40k?

Step into the hot pot restaurant.

Lu Ya's gaze swept across the shop before landing on Yang Feng, who was sitting in the corner.

Lu Ya sat down opposite Yang Feng.

Before Yang Feng could speak, Lu Ya picked up the menu and ordered ten plates of beef and mutton rolls.

Seeing this, Yang Feng subconsciously touched his wallet, then couldn't help but complain, "Brother Lu, are you starving today? Can you even finish all this?"

Lu Ya said with a grin, "Don't worry, I haven't had lunch yet today, I'm saving room for lunch."

Yang Feng grinned and said, "Brother Lu, how about we split the bill? Is it too late for me to back out now?"

However, Lu Ya completely ignored Yang Feng's words.

Seeing that his attempts to dissuade him were ineffective, Yang Feng sighed and could only prepare to be fleeced.

After ordering and putting down the menu, Lu Ya looked at Yang Feng and asked, "Old Yang, what brings you out today? Has your sister stopped caring about you?"

In fact, ever since the incident in Taoyuan Village went out of control, Yang Feng has been confined to his home by Yang Yue to reflect on his actions.

Aside from school, they are basically not allowed to go anywhere else.

Yang Feng chuckled and said, "Brother Lu, you have no idea how busy my sister has been lately. She leaves early and comes home late every day. How could she have time to keep an eye on me every day?"

Hearing Yang Feng's words, Lu Ya couldn't help but wonder: "Wasn't the Evil Card Master already killed? And nothing major has happened in the Card Master Alliance, so what's your sister busy with?"

Faced with Lu Ya's question, Yang Feng thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be about dealing with the Peach Blossom Village secret realm."

"Brother Lu, don't forget, although the evil card master has been dealt with, the problem of the secret realm going out of control caused by that evil card master has not yet been resolved."

"There are still many strange things running rampant in the Peach Blossom Village Secret Realm. These things naturally need to be handled by the Card Master Alliance."

At this point, Yang Feng paused, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Moreover, I also heard from my sister that there are just too many strange things in the Peach Blossom Village Secret Realm."

"Many card masters who entered the secret realm to carry out cleanup missions were injured, and now the Card Master Alliance is starting to run out of manpower."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ya couldn't help but frown.

It must be said that the existence of evil card masters has indeed caused considerable harm to society as a whole.

Even though the person is already dead, the mess they made is still troublesome.

Just as Lu Ya was pondering these things, Yang Feng's shout interrupted his thoughts.

Yang Feng waved his hand in front of Lu Ya's face and asked, "Brother Lu, what are you thinking about?"

Lu Ya finally came to his senses. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's nothing. I was just thinking, with so many strange things in the secret realm, aren't you worried about your sister's safety?"

Lu Ya subtly changed the subject.

Yang Feng scratched his head and replied with a smile, "I don't need to worry about that. My sister is a healing-type card master. She basically doesn't participate in combat. She just needs to stay outside and treat the wounded."

Lu Ya nodded thoughtfully.

........

Meanwhile, in Taoyuan Village.

A drowned ghost, soaking wet from head to toe, was wandering aimlessly through Peach Blossom Village, foul-smelling water dripping from its body.

Suddenly, the drowned ghost seemed to sense something and slowly turned its head to look behind it.

A burly, dark-faced man holding a demon-slaying sword and a gourd for transforming evil spirits stood behind it.

Upon seeing the burly, dark-faced man, the Drowned Ghost did not hesitate at all. It slowly raised its arm, which was already swollen and pale from being submerged in water, and grabbed at the burly, dark-faced man.

The ground beneath the dark-faced, burly man's feet instantly turned muddy, like a swamp.

Then, one after another, rotting, foul-smelling arms emerged from the mud, grabbing the dark-faced, burly man's ankles, seemingly intending to drag him directly into the swamp to drown.

Faced with this situation, the burly man with the dark face roared and stomped his foot, crushing those arms to pieces.

After breaking free of his restraints, the dark-faced burly man rushed towards the drowned monster. He grabbed the monster by the neck and then opened his mouth wide, swallowing it whole.

With a crunching sound, the drowned monster was swallowed by the dark-faced burly man as a snack.

After completely eliminating the drowned monster, several figures slowly emerged from the shadows behind them.

These people were all wearing the uniforms of the Card Master Alliance, and the one in the lead was a reliable middle-aged man who looked meticulous in his work.

Following behind him were two young men and a young woman.

With a wave of his hand, the burly man with the dark face transformed back into a card in his hand.

The card is printed with the words "Ghost King Zhong Kui", which is clearly a four-star purple card.

Upon seeing the card in the man's hand, the girl next to him laughed and said, "Brother Zhi, your Ghost King Zhong Kui card is as powerful as ever."

"For a pollution-level monster like the Drowning Monster, it can be dealt with easily with almost no effort."

"If we were to do this ourselves, I don't know how much effort it would take to solve it."

The other two young men chimed in with smiles, "That's for sure. Brother Zhi's skills are among the top in our Lingjiang City branch."

"We were lucky to be assigned to the same mission as Brother Zhi this time."

The praise from the three men did not elicit the slightest hint of pride from Sun Zhi; on the contrary, he remained completely calm.

"You're joking. My strength isn't as exaggerated as you say. In the Lingjiang City branch, my strength is at most slightly above average."

Seeing that Sun Zhi wasn't buying their act, the three could only give an awkward smile.

Sun Zhi looked at the girl and said, "Zhou Keke, can you tally up how many monsters we've solved so far?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Keke pondered for a moment before replying, "If we include the drowned ghost from earlier, we've dealt with a total of eight ghosts so far."

"Among them, there are five ghost-level monsters and three pollution-level monsters."

"The Card Master Alliance's mission for us this time is to eliminate ten monsters, and we are still two short."

Upon hearing Zhou Keke's words, Sun Zhi frowned and muttered to himself, "Two more are needed? There's no other way but to continue deeper."

After saying that, he looked up at the group and said, "Everyone, we have now entered the central area of ​​Peach Blossom Village."

"The monsters that follow will become increasingly powerful, so please stay alert and do not let your guard down."

Responding to Sun Zhi's reminder, the three of them perked up.

One of the young men even spoke up, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Zhi, this isn't the first time we've carried out this kind of cleanup mission. We wouldn't make such a basic mistake as a mishap."

After hearing the young man's words, Sun Zhi nodded in relief.

Just as Sun Zhi was leading the three of them to continue their journey deeper into Peach Blossom Village.

"Tap tap tap..."

Suddenly, a light, hurried footstep sound came from behind.

This startled Sun Zhi. He instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came, only to see a scene that sent chills down his spine.

A headless corpse emerged from the shadows and slowly walked towards them.
