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

At this moment, Wu Tong and the others finally came to their senses.

Dai Wei also quickly summoned his "Devouring Mountain God" to prepare to help.

However, Gao Liang stopped him, asking, "What are you doing?"

Dai Wei replied matter-of-factly, "Is there even a question? Of course, I'll go help!"

Hearing Dai Wei's answer, Gao Liang sighed. He pointed to the person wailing as if they were possessed and said, "Do you think Lu Ya looks like he needs our help?"

Dai Wei scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

He admitted that Gao Liang's words did make some sense. Given the current state of the Weeping Ones, one person was enough to cut down all the monsters, and there was no need for them to take action.

However, Dai Wei still frowned and asked, "We can't just stand here and watch, can we?"

Gao Liang shook his head and pointed at the wailing man, saying, "Don't just stand there watching. Didn't you notice any changes in Lu Ya's cards?"

Reminded by Gao Liang, Dai Wei paused for a moment, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the wailing person.

At this moment, the Weeping One was fighting fiercely with those monsters. With each monster he killed, his bright yellow power armor would emit a faint purple light.

If one were to sense it through spiritual power, it would be clear that the spiritual power emanating from the wailing person was surging wildly like a turbulent sea.

This caused Dai Wei's eyes to widen suddenly, as if he had discovered something unbelievable: "This is... a card upgrade!"

"How is this possible? Doesn't upgrading a card require additional materials?"

"Lu Ya didn't add any new material cards to the deck, how did he manage that?"

Faced with Dai Wei's question, Gao Liang slowly explained, "In fact, there are two ways to upgrade a card's star rating."

"One method is to upgrade the card's rarity by adding new material cards or stories. This is the most common way we upgrade cards."

"Another method is to let the cards accumulate combat experience through continuous battles, thereby improving the card's rank."

"However, the second method of star-up is too slow, so basically no card players are willing to use the second method to upgrade stars anymore. Everyone prefers the first method."

Upon hearing Gao Liang's words, Dai Wei, Wu Tong, and the others finally looked enlightened.

Gao Liang continued, "This is a crucial moment for the star-level advancement. If you go up and help like this, won't you just be making things worse for Lu Ya?"

Upon hearing Gao Liang's words, Dai Wei couldn't help but grin.

To be honest, if Gao Liang hadn't stopped him in time, he would have recklessly rushed forward.

If the card's star-up is interrupted, not only will I not gain any benefit, but I might also incur Lu Ya's wrath.

Just thinking about it made Dai Wei break out in a sweat.

Meanwhile, Lu Ya had also noticed the changes happening to the weeping ones.

"Should I upgrade my star rating?"

Lu Ya looked at the person who was wailing, and his expression became thoughtful.

When he dealt with the evil card master, Lu Ya had already sensed a similar change in the Weeping One.

However, the change was too subtle at the time, so Lu Ya took it as his imagination and didn't pay any attention to it.

But now it's different. After years of accumulation, the changes in the weeping person are particularly strong, and it seems that they are just one step away from success.

This also caused a strong sense of anticipation to burst forth in Lu Ya's eyes.

He was now very curious about what the Weeping One would look like after completing the star-level upgrade.

Meanwhile, on the field...

Under the mad slaughter of the Weeping Ones, most of the monsters had already been killed, leaving only a few stronger monsters struggling to hold on.

A corrupted-level monster, the "Chanting Monk," was chanting scriptures incessantly. Its voice was like a demonic chant, captivating the mind and spirit. If Wu Tong and his companions were here, they might very well be corrupted by this monster if caught off guard.

But the Weepers are different. With the "Unwavering Faith" skill, the eerie corruption has almost no effect on them.

Even the grieving person felt that this guy was like a fly buzzing incessantly in their ear, extremely noisy.

Without thinking, the wailing man slapped the chanting monk on the head.

"Snapped!"

In an instant, the bald head of the chanting monk was slapped away, and finally, all was quiet.

Another corrupted-level monster, the Stone Statue, lunged towards the Weeping One with heavy steps. Each step the Stone Statue took caused the ground to tremble.

He attempted to crush the weeping person to death with his obese and heavy body.

Perhaps it was because this [Ghost Stone] was too hideous, as repulsive and disgusting as the Nurgle demon.

Therefore, when faced with the oncoming [Statue Ghost], the Weeper charged forward without hesitation, colliding head-on with the [Statue Ghost].

With a loud "bang," the enormous body of the [Stone Statue Ghost] was as fragile as paper in front of the Weeping One, and was smashed to pieces by the Weeping One, with its green, rotten fat spilling all over the ground.

After smashing the Statue of the Stone with his sturdy power armor, the Weeping One seemed unsatisfied. He picked up the chainsaw sword and slashed fiercely at the Statue of the Stone's remains. The Statue of the Stone, which was originally more than three meters tall, was chopped into mincemeat by the Weeping One!

This scene made Wu Tong and the others behind him grimace and their hearts pound with fear!

Dai Wei grinned: "This is too brutal! What kind of cards are these?!"

Su Chichi couldn't help but widen her eyes; the ferocity of the wailing person truly exceeded her expectations.

Even Gao Liang, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help but click his tongue and show envy after seeing the combat power of the Weeping Ones.

This envy is devoid of any other emotion; it is solely a yearning for the sheer number of those who weep.

But the Lamenter's slaughter did not end there. Several [Bride-and-Pull-Pull Ghosts] carried the bride-and-pull ...

A hanging ghost tried to escape, but the wailing man grabbed it by the neck and snapped it.

Thus, in the midst of continuous battles, a powerful spiritual force erupted from the body of the weeping one.

This spiritual force broke through the final shackles, washing over the body of the wailing person like ocean waves.

At this moment, the weeping one has completed his final transformation!

This scene excited Lu Ya even more, and he quickly examined the changes in the wailing person.

[The Lamenter - Company Champion]

[Quality: Purple]

Star Rating: ★★★★★★★★★

[Card Type: Summon]

Category: People

characteristic:

[Transcendent: Each Astartes undergoes nineteen modification surgeries, which elevates their physical bodies beyond the realm of ordinary people, placing them in the transcendent realm.]

[Sword Master: As the strongest swordsman in the Astartes Company, he is proficient in various sword techniques and possesses a keen intuition for enemy weaknesses. When he hits an enemy's weak point, he can inflict massive damage.]

[Unwavering Faith: The Weepers possess the most steadfast faith in the Emperor, which makes them immune to interference from various "temptation" and "corruption" skills.]

skill:

[Bloodthirst: When Astartes the Lamenter kills an enemy, he recovers some of his own health and slightly enhances his combat abilities.]

[Dark Fury: The Weeper enters a state of frenzy, greatly increasing their attack power and forgetting all fear and pain, becoming uncontrollable until the end of the battle.]

[Glory Cry: The Weeping One unleashes a battlefield-shaking roar that intimidates enemy units and grants all nearby friendly units a significant boost to attack power and movement speed for a short duration.]

[Champion Duel: The Lamenter locks onto an enemy unit and forces a duel against them. The enemy cannot attack anyone else until the duel is complete!]

Advanced path: [Lamenter - Company Champion] (Purple) → [Lamenter - Warband Champion] (Silver) → [Lamenter - Emperor's Chosen] (Gold)

Bond: The [Battle Brothers] effect can be triggered when other Astartes are on the field.

When an Astartes is killed and only one remains, the "Fight to the Death" effect can be triggered.

It can be said that compared to the previous [Lamenter], the [Lamenter - Company Champion] in his hand now is a completely different card.

First is "Battle Cry," which is a solid control skill. It can not only stun enemy units, but more importantly, it can also buff friendly units, making it a win-win situation.

Secondly, there is the skill "Champion Duel," which can directly force an opponent to engage in a duel, and the opponent cannot attack anyone else until the duel ends.

In a sense, this can already be considered a strong crowd control skill.

However, more than these, Lu Ya was most concerned about the advancement path of the Weeping Ones.

Unlike the Blood Raven's advancement path, the Weeping One's advancement path ultimately leads to the [Emperor's Chosen] direction, which is extremely difficult!

But that's not something Lu Ya should be concerned about right now.

After putting away the Weeping One card, Lu Ya began to pay attention to his mental state.

Because at the moment the Weeping One completed his star-level transformation, his own spiritual power was also enhanced to a certain extent, and his sea of ​​consciousness was now much stronger than before.

Although the improvement wasn't much, it was still a pleasant surprise.

After processing all of this, Lu Ya breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his gaze to the mess in front of him.

The next step is the key: packaging the materials.

Lu Ya quickly took out blank cards and began to seal the strange remains on the ground.

At the same time, Wu Tong and the others saw this and stepped forward to help Lu Ya.

Soon, Lu Ya and his team cleared away all the eerie debris from the site, and this time Lu Ya collected more than twenty material cards.

I collected a total of six blue material cards.

Although the price of weird-themed material cards has plummeted to just over 8,000 each, even so, six blue material cards together would still be worth nearly 50,000 yuan.

This doesn't even include the other green material cards.

This was already a considerable sum of money for Lu Ya.

After quickly checking the material cards in his hand, Lu Ya smiled and said to Wu Tong and the others, "Thank you for your help, everyone."

Upon hearing Lu Ya's words, Wu Tong and the others felt somewhat ashamed.

After all, Lu Ya dealt with these strange occurrences all by himself. They just stood there watching from beginning to end, offering no assistance whatsoever, so there was no trouble at all.

Lu Ya continued, "If there are no further problems, let's continue our journey."

If Su Chichi and Dai Wei had some reservations about Lu Ya's command before...

Now that they had witnessed Lu Ya deal with those strange creatures as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, they had no further objections to Lu Ya's command.

Soon, the group set off again towards the central area of ​​Peach Blossom Village.

Perhaps because most of the strange occurrences were resolved, the journey was quite smooth. Occasionally, one or two unsuspecting strange occurrences would appear, but Gao Liang and Dai Wei would easily deal with them.

Soon, the group arrived at an arched bridge, where they saw clusters of houses and ancestral halls on the other side.

Crossing this arched bridge marks the official entry into the central area of ​​Peach Blossom Village.

Lu Ya didn't rush onto the bridge, but instead looked at Wu Tong beside him.

Wu Tong immediately understood Lu Ya's meaning and quickly sent the Earth God to investigate the situation in the central area.

This exploration took more than ten minutes.

After learning about the situation in the central area of ​​Taoyuan Village through the Land God's avatar, Wu Tong immediately frowned and his expression became somewhat grim.

Lu Ya noticed the change in Wu Tong's expression and asked, "How is it? Are there many strange things in this place?"

At this moment, Su Chichi and the others also turned their attention to Wu Tong.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Wu Tong remained silent for a long time before finally speaking with a wry smile: "It's not that there are many, it's that there are none at all."

"I just had the local earth god search the central area, but strangely enough, we didn't find any strange traces at all."

Upon hearing Wu Tong's words, everyone present couldn't help but frown.

Normally, the closer to the center, the more strange things there should be.

However, the situation is now contrary to the norm; Wu Tong has not found any strange presences in the central area of ​​Taoyuan Village.

This unusual situation was hard for everyone to believe.

Dai Wei then asked, "Wu Tong, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Wu Tong shook his head: "Impossible. I had the local earth god search three or four times, and he didn't find anything unusual. How could I be wrong?"

At this moment, Su Chichi also spoke up: "Could it be that some kind of being has driven all the evil spirits in the central area of ​​Peach Blossom Village to the outskirts?"

"That's why there are so many strange things on the outer perimeter, but no strange traces have been found in the central area?"

Gao Liang shook his head: "That doesn't make sense. How could something like a ghost have a sense of territory?"

The crowd began to chatter amongst themselves, but in the end, everyone's gaze turned to Lu Ya. Wu Tong asked, "What do you mean, Brother Lu?"

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Lu Ya pondered for a moment, and finally seemed to make a decision.

"Let's go in and take a look. If there's a danger we can't resolve, we'll retreat immediately!"
