137. Card Sealing
A golden light swirled in his eyes, and the scene he saw through the Qi Observation Technique made Jiang Chen frown.
These mummified corpses were shrouded in dense yin energy, with black lines extending from them and disappearing into the depths of the mist, connecting with the entire space.
These dried corpses are all manipulated puppets, used as cannon fodder to be consumed.
The number of mummified corpses continued to surge, exceeding a thousand in the blink of an eye, forming a dense, despairing wall of corpses around them.
"The numbers are off." Jiang Chen's voice was calm, without the slightest panic. "According to the intelligence provided by the Foundation, this vehicle has not been around for long, and the number of missing persons recorded is far less than this."
"Well, there's an even more troublesome problem." Ai Yi put away her nonchalant demeanor. "This is the Spirit Realm."
He explained very quickly, "When the power of an evil spirit reaches a certain level, it can create its own alternate dimension."
The domain can be called either the spirit domain or the ghost domain; the names are different, but the effects are the same.
In short, within this area, their power will be suppressed, while the opponent's power will be amplified, giving them a home-field advantage.
He pointed to the thick fog around him, "In this kind of environment, it is extremely difficult for us to replenish the energy we consume. Once we run out, we can only be slaughtered by it."
Jiang Chen's aura-gazing technique confirmed Ai Yi's judgment.
These dried corpses are part of the spirit realm, cannon fodder used by that driver to consume them, an endless stream that can never be eradicated.
He and Ai exchanged a glance, their minds racing as they calculated how to fight this tug-of-war with minimal effort.
Lightning and dragon energy flickered around them.
However, just as the two main forces were preparing to conserve ammunition, the game that had been protected behind them suddenly stepped forward.
His small body stood in front of the two, his face showing no fear, but rather a focus and excitement as if facing the final boss.
"Leave it to me."
He spoke softly, his slender fingers flicking slightly in the air.
A wisp of pure spiritual energy surged from his fingertips, rapidly condensing and compressing into a blank card emitting a faint white light.
Ai Yi was stunned: "Hey kid, can you summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon to clear the area?"
The game ignored him, flicked its wrist, and threw out the blank card.
The card streaked through the air, paused above the horde of corpses, and then unleashed an invisible suction force.
The dozens of mummified corpses at the forefront were uncontrollably twisted, stretched, and shrunk by this invisible suction force. Before they could even let out a roar, they were all sucked into the thin card.
A flash of light.
The card floated back into the player's hand.
On the blank card, a lifelike and eerie image appeared—dozens of mummified corpses huddled together, roaring with ferocious expressions, yet forever imprisoned within a two-dimensional space.
This swift and decisive way of clearing the area left Ai speechless.
"Damn, that's a good job, kid!"
This is precisely the unique ability that the game developed under the influence of Jiang Chen's spiritual power and his knowledge of cards—Sealing.
If the target is weaker than oneself and cannot form an effective spiritual force to resist, it can be sealed directly.
This was the first time he had used this ability in the game, and the cost was greater than he had imagined. After just one use, his face turned a little paler, but he did not stop.
With a flick of his fingertips, blank cards materialized one after another, which he continuously threw at the horde of corpses.
Each throw is like a highly efficient eraser, precisely wiping out an area of enemies.
Thousands of fearless, mummified corpses were completely wiped out by these few dozen precise throws.
When the last dried corpse was sucked into the card, the entire space instantly fell silent.
"Huff... huff..."
The game was panting heavily, with beads of sweat on his forehead, clearly indicating that this operation had drained all his spiritual energy.
"It seems my targeted training plan has been a great success." Jiang Chen walked over to the game, ruffled his hair, and praised him generously. The kid did a good job, so he should be praised and given enough positive feedback.
"Good, that gives you half of your basic deck of forty cards."
The game player curled his lip in disgust, but still didn't throw away the dozens of 'dried corpse cards'.
"Please, they're all small fry, not even good enough to be cannon fodder, what use are they?"
The moment the horde of dried corpses was cleared away, the mist over the entire spirit realm seemed to be enraged, churning and roaring violently.
"Boom—Rumble!"
Amidst the deafening roar of the engine, the No. 444 bus once again burst forth from the depths of the thick fog.
This time, it's no longer outdated.
The vehicle was enveloped in a dense, almost tangible, yin energy, and crimson light flickered from its shattered windows. Like a large cargo truck, it carried a violent, crushing aura as it crashed straight into the three people.
"Well done!"
Faced with this overwhelming impact, Ai Yi did not retreat but advanced, letting out a loud shout.
The totem of the nine sons of the dragon has been activated!
A phantom image of a bixie appeared behind him. It resembled a tortoise, had dragon horns on its head, carried mountains on its back, and exuded a powerful aura capable of uprooting mountains.
Bixi, also known as Baxia, possessed immense strength and was adept at bearing heavy loads.
"Stop...right now!"
Ai braced himself against the oncoming bus with both hands.
boom--! ! !
A deafening roar!
Ai Yi managed to stop the bus's violent momentum with her frail body.
Where the front of the car touched his palm, a burst of yin energy erupted, and the metal body of the car was severely deformed by the pressure.
The ground beneath Ai Yi's feet cracked inch by inch, but he remained unmoved. With a roar, he exerted force from his waist and back, using the unreasonable and monstrous strength of the Bixi totem to directly send this steel behemoth weighing more than ten tons flying.
Just as the bus was thrown into the air, a cold and cunning black mist suddenly burst out from under the vehicle.
Knowing he was no match for them, the evil spirit driver did not attack Jiang Chen and Ai Yi. Instead, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight at Game, who was now exhausted of spiritual energy and had no ability to resist.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Would Jiang let his own child be put in danger? Of course not, he's very protective of his own.
The lightning strike patterns on his body suddenly lit up, no longer a single dark blue, but a crimson that combined the life force of the blood coral and the dark green of the zombie fungus.
The three colors of energy intertwined and merged, flowing wildly across his body.
Jiang Chen's body appeared to be semi-transparent, composed of countless energy particles.
In his particle-like state, Jiang Chen unleashed the Lightning Dragon Movement Technique, transforming himself into a thunderous dragon.
However, only the dragon head is clear and lifelike; the body is incomplete, consisting of only a small section.
Even so, the power displayed by the Thunder Dragon should not be underestimated.
