Mythical Card Maker: Starting with the Mountain Spirit

As Lin Mo secretly observed the four people, four pairs of eyes simultaneously fell on him.

The twin girls smiled and nodded at him, then gracefully walked forward.

He stopped not far from Lin Mo and quietly observed the temple in front of him.

Lin Mo smiled and nodded in response, then turned his head away as well.

A short while later, the blond youth and the empty-headed boy also caught up.

They each found a spot and looked around.

The five people maintained a certain distance from each other, clearly wary of the others.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment, until the blond young man finally broke the silence:

"My name is Jin Zhao. What's your name, everyone?"

He had a faint smile on his face as he glanced at the crowd.

However, no one answered.

He gave an awkward laugh, his expression slightly unnatural.

Seeing that no one spoke, Lin Mo hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Lin Mo!"

With Lin Mo taking the lead, the others also spoke up.

"Yang Shuang'er!"

"Yang Xueer!"

"Zhenxu!"

"Everyone has gathered here, presumably to explore this temple."

The blond youth gave Lin Mo a grateful look, his face regaining its warm smile:

"This temple looks rather eerie, and it might be unwise to barge in rashly. How about we all team up?"

"Teaming up is fine."

Without hesitation, Zhen Xu answered, then immediately changed the subject: "But how should the profits be distributed?"

Jin Zhao, however, seemed to have anticipated this question and immediately explained:

"Naturally, whoever kills it gets to keep it. Besides, this temple is so large that there will likely be many forks in the road later, so we'll inevitably have to separate. It'll all come down to skill!"

Zhen Xu did not speak again, which clearly indicated his tacit approval of Jin Zhao's suggestion.

"I wonder what Brother Lin and the two ladies think of my idea? If you have any different opinions, please feel free to bring them up, and we can discuss them together!"

Jin Zhao immediately looked at Lin Mo and the other two.

"I have no objection."

Lin Mo shook his head.

This temple did give him a bad feeling, so it wouldn't hurt to try it out as a team.

"We have no objections!"

Yang Shuang'er, dressed in blue, and Yang Xue'er, dressed in red, both shook their heads.

"In that case, let's go in!"

Jin Zhao smiled and then summoned his Kaling.

It was a three-foot-tall Weasel spirit.

Lin Mo sensed the aura emanating from Huang Daxian and discovered that it was none other than the Black Iron Seven Star.

"Jin Zhao is quite strong!"

As Lin Mo pondered this, the others also summoned their own spirit cards.

Among them, the sisters Yang Shuang'er summoned the two legendary beauties of Jiangdong, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

As for Zhen Xu's Ka Ling, he is a gloomy corpse driver who carries a coffin on his back.

Besides having a high-level card spirit star rating, all four of them were actually purple cards.

This was the first time Lin Mo had ever seen a purple card in this world.

He immediately realized that these people in front of him were probably quite extraordinary, both in terms of their family background and their talent for card making.

Without hesitation, he immediately summoned Shen Tu, Yu Lei, and the Mountain Spirit.

Several dazzling purple lights flashed, and three figures immediately stood beside Lin Mo.

The others were clearly also taken aback by Lin Mo's immediate use of two purple cards, and were momentarily stunned.

However, they were clearly not naive people; they quickly realized what was happening and continued walking forward.

Soon, the group arrived in front of the dark archway.

"It's so dark!"

Yang Xueer spoke subconsciously, subtly shifting her body slightly to the side of her sister.

"It's okay, I have a lighting card!"

Jin Zhao smiled slightly, then flipped his wrist, and a fluorescent white card appeared in his palm.

A dazzling beam of light suddenly emanated from the center of the card, illuminating the scene in front of it.

It was a massive bronze gate, ten meters high, with reliefs on it that were exactly the same as those on the door frame.

They are all depicted as a man who is half human and half tree.

However, this relief is clearly more detailed, and the pain and contortion on the man's face can be clearly seen.

Everyone glanced at it and felt their hearts twist, so they immediately looked away.

"Everyone, step back a bit, I'll open the door first!"

Jin Zhao waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand back.

He then looked at Wong Tai Sin standing to the side, who immediately understood and stepped forward.

A sound of bones cracking rang out.

In the next instant, Huang Daxian suddenly grew five feet taller, his muscles bulging all over.

It braced its paws against the bronze gate, then suddenly exerted force from its waist.

The massive bronze door slowly opened amidst a series of teeth-grinding mechanical gear whirring sounds.

To everyone's surprise, there was no lingering smell of dust or grime.

Let's go!

Holding a lighting card, Jin Zhao led Huang Daxian, taking the lead at the very front.

Seeing this, Lin Mo and the others immediately followed.

After walking through a dimly lit corridor, the group finally arrived inside the temple.

Compared to the corridor we had just passed through, the interior of the temple was quite bright.

Old-fashioned lanterns hung on the walls, emitting a dim, yellow candlelight.

It contained some kind of dark red liquid.

The group finally caught a glimpse of the scene inside the temple.

All that could be seen ahead were densely packed, intersecting rooms and long, winding corridors.

It's like a giant maze.

"What do you mean? Should we just leave?"

Yang Xueer, the girl in red, looked at the room in front of her that resembled an entrance. Seeing that everyone had stopped, she spoke first.

"Let's go!"

Jin Zhao nodded, then added, "However, everyone should still be as careful as possible, as there are usually aberrations in buildings like this."

"I'm afraid there won't be any variants!"

Zhen Xu smiled and replied.

This young man was fine when he wasn't smiling, but when he did, he looked exactly like the Empty Prince from his previous life.

Lin Mo was secretly astonished upon seeing this, thinking that some time management master had also traveled through time.

Thinking as he walked, Lin Mo soon stepped into the room.

The room is very large, easily over a hundred square meters.

In the very center was a pool of water, on which floated a crystal coffin.

Just as everyone was about to step forward to investigate, a splashing sound of water rang out.

In an instant, about twenty monsters, each about 1.5 meters tall, with light blue skin covered in fine scales, and resembling half-human, half-fish creatures, leaped out of the pool.

Some of them wielded tridents, some held dark blue staffs, and some carried shields.

They all stared intently at Lin Mo and the others with their bright yellow pupils, hissing and growling.

"They are multi-finned fishmen! Most of them are nascent species at the Black Iron Six-Star level, with only five ferocious species."

Jin Zhao looked around and then addressed the group, saying, "How about one ferocious beast per person plus three nascent beasts?"

"No problem, let's finish this quickly!"

Lin Mo nodded, a thought flashing through his mind.

The mountain spirit and the gods, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, who were already prepared, rushed out immediately.
