Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

"Waaah—" Sera couldn't bear the injustice and burst into tears.

"I'm not convinced, let's go again!"

Her eyes were red from crying, and she screamed at Luo Bai.

Luo Bai shrugged: "According to the rules of the martial arts world, one round determines the winner."

"I'll definitely do it next time."

"You—" Sera stomped her feet frantically, "Aaaaaah!!!"

"Never mind, never mind." Immy stepped forward and gently patted Sera's head to comfort her. "It's okay, it's okay. The world is so small, we'll meet again someday."

"We'll win it back next time."

Sera threw herself into Immy's arms, crying even harder: "Waaah—"

【Om—】

A slight vibration came from her wrist, and Immy raised an eyebrow, looking toward the supercomputing ring.

It was a message from Seth:

Someone has activated the Duel Disk.

"Oh?!" Immy curled the corners of her lips like a spectator, looking at Sera and Debel. "Let's go."

There was a strange phenomenon in the challenge to the king.

Once you put on the Duel Disk and stand in front of the King, you will feel an inexplicable pressure. Just standing there for a few seconds will make you dizzy and sweaty. Ordinary people simply cannot last until the duel begins.

The pseudo-Dian and his companions waited for most of the day, but the duel still couldn't begin.

Unable to bear the loneliness, Immy went for a stroll with Sera, leaving Seth to keep watch.

"Hahaha--"

"The duel of kings is about to begin!"

Immy's laughter echoed through the forest, as if she were speaking to someone in particular.

Luo Bai frowned and pondered for a moment.

I've decided to deal with the Purple Forest Grass issue first.

Out of curiosity, he walked over to the extraordinary sacred stone tablet that Lin Yi had discovered and gently touched it with his fingertips.

"answer--"

The moment the sensing of qi was completed, the dust on the surface of the stone tablet fell off.

A beam of light shot into the sky, and a circuit flashed across the high sky, with three-tenths of the circuit already lit.

The patterns on the stone tablet gradually became visible.

The plant-eating Crassula anaconda

Crassula ovata, a plant predator

"Oh my—" Luo Bai raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "This is truly fate."

【Azure Dragon Serpent】is exactly the card he needs. The Epic pattern from the Rebirth Shop can't be made in the short term, but this one has a blank pattern, so he can make it anytime.

He quickly took out his phone and took a picture.

Signals cannot be transmitted outside the ruins, but taking photos is still possible.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Lin Yi quickly took out his special black cloth and covered the stone tablet. He leaned close to Luo Bai's ear and whispered, "Taking photos is against the rules. You'll be investigated."

"Go ahead and investigate," Luo Baimo said indifferently.

He suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Yi: "What, are you going to report me?"

"What are you talking about?!" Lin Yi was furious. "I, Lin Yi, don't have any grand ambitions, but I would never betray my brothers!"

"Besides, I suspect you—"

He suddenly narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze scrutinizing Luo Bai.

"Old Demon Bai has [Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring], and you also have [Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring]."

"you--"

Luo Bai was genuinely a little nervous under his gaze.

"You're Old White Demon's personal disciple, right!" Lin Yi snorted and smiled confidently. "Back in KC, the guild leader said that Old White Demon was going to participate in the assessment to recruit personal disciples. Turns out—it was you!"

"How do you play with [Korverapeptide]? I've never seen it before."

Luo Bai clapped softly: "Brilliant analysis!"

He gave Lin Yi a few perfunctory words, then turned to Qi Qiankong and shouted, "Great writer, we can continue looking for Purple Forest Grass."

"Wait a minute... Okay!" Qi Qiankong finished tidying up the video he had filmed, pointed in a certain direction, and continued, "Let's go this way."

We had only walked a few dozen meters.

Qi Qiankong and Luo Bai both frowned.

The grass beneath their feet reeked of decay, and the Purple Forest Grass had turned completely black.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Who the hell did this?"

Qi Qiankong squatted down to examine the corroded and withered purple pine grass, then blew air into his nose and said, "Formic acid, just spilled."

"Someone is deliberately destroying the purple privet."

"Who's so wicked?!"

"Just scatter the purple sedge, and leave the other plants alone?"

"Hmm—" Luo Bai vaguely sensed something was wrong. "Let's hurry and head to the next place."

"Row."

The four of them ran all the way to the next place where purple sage was produced.

But the enemy always seems to be one step ahead of them.

The purple grass had all withered and rotted, and the air was filled with a corrosive stench.

"What kind of person is this?" Qi Qiankong said disgustedly, "Someone who gives birth to a son without an anus."

"I want to write it in a book."

"Everyone's looking for things in the ruins, and this beast's here to cause destruction?"

Luo Bai's forehead was clouded with worry. He looked at Qi Qiankong, deliberately avoiding Zijing and Lin Yi, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Do you know of any place where Purple Forest Grass grows that only you know about?"

"How could that be..." Qi Qiankong also inexplicably avoided eye contact and lowered his voice.

"Purple clover isn't..."

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"How much do you want?" he asked furtively, leaning close to Luo Bai's ear.

Luo Bai was taken aback, looking uncertain: "How much do we need to make one dose of the antidote?"

"This thing can also detoxify?" Qi Qiankong, a researcher from the "Slacking Off Party," was taken aback. "However, when it comes to making medicine, one plant can usually make several vials."

How many do you have?

"I..." Qi Qiankong stammered, "I tried to save trouble and cut corners in the experiment. I...I kept half a plant and threw it in the research institute's trash can."

"This matter...is something only I know."

You could tell he was embarrassed.

"Thank goodness, great writer!" Luo Bai said, grabbing Qi Qiankong's shoulder tightly.

“But—” Qi Qiankong’s face became even more embarrassed after hearing the praise, “But…the research institute is very far away, and we have to pass through that place.”

"Where?"

"It's... the influencer zone..."

"The 'Instagrammable' area?"

"The location of the sacred stone tablet of the gods."

"Want to squeeze in?"

"You need to squeeze in."

It's no surprise that the "Instagrammable" area is packed with people right now.

"Alright then." Luo Bai sighed. "Let's go see a show first, hopefully there will be VIP front seats."

The four embarked on a long and arduous journey.

By the time we arrived at the popular area, it was already 8 p.m.

Wow—there are so many people!

Luo Bai was completely blocked by the crowd in front of him and couldn't see anything at all.

"Boom—"

Suddenly, a loud explosion came from ahead.

A person was blasted away like a cannonball, crashing into the crowd and completely obscuring Luo Bai's view.

The scene before me suddenly became clear.

The starfish-haired stone statue waved its arms forward, with three [Dark Magicians] and one [Dark Magician Girl] floating above it, and all four card spirits surrounded by golden halos.

The winner takes all.

[Red Team]

The cold, mechanical sound echoed in the deathly silence amidst the corpses scattered everywhere.
