Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

"Da da~~"

The dull footsteps approached from afar, accompanied by the creaking sound of tree branches rubbing together, like the knocking of death, making one's heart tighten.

"Uh...uh"

"Oh no, the sound of the [Clawed Man] just now has attracted the Tree Man." Xu Yuanmo's expression changed drastically.

"Quickly remove the core and get out of here."

Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward and reached out to dig out the blood core from the [Clawed Man's] body.

Gu Ye, who hadn't made a move until now, suddenly appeared behind Xu Yuanmo and threw a punch at him.

Xu Yuanmo quickly dodged, regaining his footing, his expression so dark it could drip water: "Gu Ye, why did you attack me!"

Gu Ye withdrew his fist, his eyes as cold as ice, and said calmly, "Although we cooperated, you only provided information about the [Clawed People], and offered no other assistance."

"Therefore, you cannot take this blood core."

"And you two," Gu Ye turned to look at Luo Laosan and Ding Ning.

"You..." Luo Laosan wanted to say something, but when he saw the threatening looks from Li Sanniang and the others, he immediately shut his mouth. Ding Ning, who was standing to the side, didn't dare to say a word and silently retreated to the side.

"Okay!" Xu Yuanmo's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled.

The people holding down the "Clawed Man" relaxed, and Li San Niang picked up a kitchen knife, preparing to peel open the "Clawed Man's" body to find the blood core.

Xu Yuanmo, who was standing to the side, revealed a ruthless look in his eyes. Gu Ye, who had been on guard against him, saw him take out a card and throw it directly at the group.

Gu Ye's spiritual energy instantly jumped up and down, alarm bells blaring, and he shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Because Yan Shuangling and the other two were from aristocratic families, their spiritual abilities had been enhanced, making them more sensitive to danger than others.

The moment Xu Yuanmo threw out the card, he sensed the danger and quickly dodged it.

Upon hearing Gu Ye's warning, Li San Niang quickly moved away from the corpse.

Only the Stone Sword brothers behind them reacted a beat too slow. The instant the card touched the corpse of the [Clawed Man], a loud "BOOM!" erupted, and a blinding flash of fire suddenly exploded. A violent shockwave, carrying debris and black blood, instantly engulfed the two brothers!

"Little brother!" A desperate cry was swallowed up by the explosion.

After the explosion subsided, the group looked at the spot where the bodies were. Xu Yuanmo was standing there, with two corpses lying beside him. He picked up the head of the [Clawed Man] and quickly ran towards a door.

"That beast!" Chu Ling cursed, wanting to get up and chase after him, but Gu Ye stopped him.

"Hurry, the tree people are coming soon."

Chu Ling glared fiercely at the spot where Xu Yuanmo had left, then silently followed Gu Ye and the others. Li San Niang also followed Gu Ye and the others out of the front desk.

Luo Laosan and Ding Ning disappeared as soon as the explosion occurred.

After they left, there was a "crack" sound, and the body that had been lying on the ground was turned over by a slight force. A figure, charred black and dressed in tattered clothes, struggled to sit up.

"Xu Yuanmo... I want you dead!" His voice, filled with hatred, came out.

Shi Dun looked at his brother, who had already lost his breath, beside him. The image of Shi Jian throwing himself on top of him to shield him from most of the shockwave was still clearly imprinted in his mind. Hot tears mixed with the black ash on his face, leaving two turbid streaks.

With tears welling in his eyes, Shi Dun said tremblingly, "Brother... I will definitely avenge you!"

"Da da~~"

The tree-man's voice grew closer. He wiped away a tear, took one last deep look at the corpse, chose a direction, and staggered away.

Finally, the once silent front desk was once again occupied by the Tree People.

......

"Phew~"

"The tree people aren't chasing us, let's stop!"

Gu Ye and the others stopped panting and collapsed on the ground to rest. Without the support of cards, Gu Ye and Yan Shuangling, who were not card masters, felt their legs trembling from the high-intensity exercise.

"It seems we've run to the second floor of the restaurant." Chu Ling straightened up and looked at the 2F above her head, then carefully examined her surroundings. They were clearly in a long corridor that seemed to have no end in sight, with several rooms distributed around the corridor.

When they were running away, none of them noticed whether they were going upstairs or downstairs.

"I....."

"Shh!" Chu Ling was about to speak when Gu Ye quickly raised his hand to interrupt her, pointing to a room on the left to indicate that something was amiss.

The group held their breath and listened intently.

"Chef Cassian, you've been in the sous chef position for almost five years now. Don't you want to take the head chef's position?" A sharp voice came from inside the room, with a hint of mocking cunning.

Cassian said in a low voice, "Yuri, have you forgotten the rules of the kitchen?"

The sound of footsteps scraping the floor was particularly loud in the corridor, and the people outside could feel Yuri's tension.

"I'll let it go this time, but if I hear you breaking the rules again, you know what the consequences will be."

Yuri instantly pictured that tall figure and the whip in his hand, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He swallowed hard and said nervously:

"I'll remember that, Chef Cassian."

After waiting for a while, the people outside heard the "click" of the door opening. They instantly broke out in a cold sweat. They were now standing in the corridor, unable to retreat or advance.

Before they could figure it out, another sharp crash came from the room, like a glass being smashed to the ground. Then came the sounds of doors opening and closing, and everything fell silent again.

"Shall we go take a look?" Chu Ling asked in a low voice, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and eagerness.

They all agreed to go and take a look. The corridor was completely silent. They carefully walked to the door of the room.

Gu Ye gripped the doorknob, twisted it sharply, and the door opened smoothly with a "click".

He went in first, and his eyes were immediately taken aback by the room's furnishings.

This was an extremely luxurious private room. A gilded chandelier emitted a soft glow, and an exquisite velvet tablecloth covered the marble dining table. On it were two stemmed glasses filled with a dark red liquid that, upon closer inspection, resembled congealed blood.

Gu Ye only glanced at it briefly and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Come here," Ye Suxuan called out.

Gu Ye turned his head and saw that there was another door to the private room. It was strange that there were two doors to one room.

Once everyone stepped out of that door, they understood why it was called the "Underwater Restaurant".

The restaurant's center is surrounded by an ocean, making everyone feel as if they are in an aquarium.

"How strange, there are only plants growing in the seawater, and I haven't seen a single marine creature." Ye Suxuan curiously climbed onto the glass and searched carefully.

Gu Ye looked around and found that Cassian and Yuri, who had been talking in the room, were nowhere to be seen. Moreover, ever since he left the room, he had felt a gaze watching them.

He frowned and called to everyone, "Let's go back to the private room first; we shouldn't stay here any longer."

"Our most important task right now is to quickly obtain Blood Cores and unlock the right to use the cards."

"The restaurant is too big; moving around together is too slow."

"We must split up and try to find and kill the monster as quickly as possible."

"Alright, then Yan Shuangling and I will be a team. Chu Ling and I are both Battle Card Masters, so we can't use cards. Our strength lies in our physical strength, so we'll split up to protect you," Ye Suxuan analyzed.

"Can!"

"Once you find the monster, don't act rashly. Wait for the others to come and kill it together."

"And you!" After the groups were divided, Gu Ye turned to look at Li San Niang, who had been silent all along.

"I'll go with them." Li San Niang pointed to Ye Su Xuan and the others. Gu Ye looked at Yan Shuang Ling, who nodded, agreeing to let Li San Niang join them.

"Okay! Regroup here in 10 minutes!"
