Card Maker: My Cards Have Unlimited Chains

Chapter 136: The Armament Reform Begins, Dire Border!

impossible.

Cheng Mingye's eyes widened.

How could an ordinary piece of information kill me?

But, what is this sense of crisis in my heart... This is obviously a precursor to death!

call……

The log troll raised his hand, and the giant metal structure made a terrifying roar in the air. Just by simply lifting it and smashing it down, the sense of crisis in Cheng Mingye's heart had reached its peak!

"Wait!" Cheng Mingye suddenly said loudly.

interest……

The giant metal structure stopped steadily a few meters above Cheng Mingye's head, and the wind it brought swept down and blew the white coat on his body.

Something is wrong, this is not an illusion, I will really die!

Seeing the log troll stop its attack, Cheng Mingye suddenly relaxed his tense body subconsciously. His breathing could not help but become a little rapid, but he still stood on the spot and did not retreat.

"What's going on..." Cheng Mingye frowned.

Suddenly, he thought of something and took out the forbidden engine that had already fallen into death cooling.

"...Is this the effect?"

Cheng Mingye's eyes fell on the derived effect of [Bloodline Hatred].

...When attacking and killing a summoned beast whose race is not a machine or consciousness, it will disconnect from the operator.

"Can this effect still work on me?"

The corners of Cheng Mingye's mouth twitched.

He is not a summoned beast, but his method of ensuring his immortality is related to several summoned beasts... But these soul cards are his peak works that have been adjusted countless times. The connection priority with himself is very high. Normally, It should be said that there should be no soul card that can cut off the connection.

Even if there is, it shouldn't be from the hands of a young card maker like Yu Cang...

Standing silently on the spot, until his breathing completely calmed down, Cheng Mingye suddenly smiled.

"That's right...it's time to upgrade the deck."

Turning around, Cheng Mingye flicked his hand, and the huge log troll behind him turned into a stream of soul card fragments and returned to his hand. Cheng Mingye tidied up his clothes that had been messed up just now and walked out of the protective shield.

"...Don't you want to continue trying?" Yu Cang didn't understand Cheng Mingye's behavior just now, "You still have the ability to [conscious life]..."

"No need, this is just an ordinary soul card." Cheng Mingye put on his glasses, "The data is like this, and my perception is like this, so there will be no problem with it - just use it normally after you go out. Please submit the report. Give it to me, and the admissions bureau won't trouble you."

"……All right."

Although he felt that Cheng Mingye's testing method was very unreliable, since he said so, Yu Cang could only believe him.

Anyway, as long as possible hidden dangers can be eliminated and you can use this soul card normally, the rest is not important.

Cheng Mingye handed the Forbidden Engine back to Yu Cang's hands.

"Let's go, go back first."

……

In the next few days, Yu Cang's life became a bit monotonous.

In the morning I randomly planted a few entries, and in the afternoon I took Qi'er to the training bureau. If I had time, I took the crying girl out for a walk.

Weeping Girl's ability to collect emotions, Cheng Mingye also experienced it personally when he was in the admission bureau that day. There was no problem. It was exactly as Weeping Girl said, what was extracted was only a kind of energy generated when emotions changed.

Therefore, after Yu Cang tried it himself, he allowed the crying girl to go out to collect emotions.

These days are the peak tourist season for the Fire Festival. In crowded places, the mood changes are very dramatic and obvious. Maybe one second it was anticipation and novelty, and the next second it turned into scolding and exhaustion.

In short, the emotional power in the forbidden engine accumulates very quickly. However, Yu Cang has never used the power of emotions, so he has no specific concept of how much these emotional powers are.

I think there should be quite a few.

The entry for the Admission Bureau was finally extracted.

They are - handed down entries: [Seal], epic entries: [Analysis], rare entries: [Control], common entries: [Isolation]

Judging from the entry, it seemed to be promising, but seeing that a major overhaul of armaments was approaching, Yu Cang put it aside after several failed attempts.

In this way, soon, the day came for a major overhaul of armaments.

Lei Wanqing arrived on a plane the day before. He didn't need to come, and there was no member of this year's jury, but this time the ancient capital project was too ambitious, and it challenged all the optional projects at the same time. Who dares?

He had to watch the expressions of other military regions live!

Therefore, in the past few days, he hastily dealt with the matters at hand, and finally found a few days to rush to Yujiang.

"What? Changed the title?" Lei Wanqing raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, and I heard that the original projects have also undergone some changes." Yu Cang said, "No specific arrangements have been released yet, and I don't know what they have become."

"Then..." Lei Wanqing thought for a moment, "In that case, for the sake of safety, let's not report everything..."

"I've reported everything."

"Uh." Lei Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You kid... when I suggested it to you, you thought I was too showy. Now it seems you've wanted to do this for a long time, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Yu Cang spread his hands, "I don't want to give up halfway."

"Okay... Seeing that you are so confident, I feel relieved." Lei Wanqing patted Yu Cang's shoulder, "You go to the venue first, and I'll go talk to some old guys."

"it is good."

The venue for this major armament reform is still outside the country.

Although it is overseas, it is actually very safe. Yanguo regularly sends troops to clear out the wild beasts near the national border, and because the border city near Yujiang is open to the public and a major military reform is about to be carried out, the areas outside the national border have been cleared over and over again.

Because of this, Yu Cang didn't see many wild beasts along the way. Even if he did, there were only two or three big cats and kittens, and they were quickly cleared away.

After leaving Tianjiang Great Wall and walking a few kilometers, an outpost appeared in front of Yu Cang. The place was not big. When Yu Cang arrived, many teams had already gathered here.

While Yu Cang was looking around curiously, Lei Wanqing had already entered somewhere and pushed open the door of a small house.

"Hey, old guys." Lei Wanqing grinned, "You haven't retired yet?"

In the room, a long table was placed in the middle, with six figures sitting on both sides. They all looked to be quite old, but they were all dressed in military uniforms and had sharp eyes.

An old man turned his head and glanced, his brows furrowed.

"...Why the hell are you here?" Jiang Shan rubbed his brows, "I just agreed to be a jury member because I heard that you won't be there this time. How come I can see you here?"

"See you outside." Lei Wanqing walked to the table, pulled up a chair very naturally, and sat down, "We are here in the ancient capital to compete. Why, I can't come to watch the game?"

"Ha." Jiang Shan laughed, "I heard that there has been a lot of trouble in the ancient capital recently. If you come here at this time, don't risk your life before you retire."

Lei Wanqing laughed: "Well, there's no need to worry about it. It seems like it's still too early for me to retire."

Jiang Shan's mouth twitched and he opened his mouth to say something, but a voice from the side intervened.

"Old Lei, you are well prepared." Qiu Zhong threw a stack of information on the table, "I see... your Gudu Military Region has applied for all projects this year. Why, Gudu was found this year What kind of baby are you so confident?”

Lei Wanqing suddenly smiled proudly.

Finally someone asked me.

"Of course...everyone, let me apologize here first. We, the ancient capital, will accept the first place this year."

"Huh?" Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Major reforms in armaments happen every year, but not every year leads to a No. 1.

If the entries are too far apart, the first prize will be temporarily shelved and will not be awarded.

In fact, since the birth of the major armament reform, there have indeed been few firsts. After all, how could it be so easy to create armaments worth promoting to the entire military.

What is the result that makes Lei Wanqing so confident that he will win the first place?

For a moment, everyone was curious.

But there is no other way. Before all projects are completed, they can only get a name of the results, but cannot see the specific content.

But this name is too abstract... Mechanical Department? Is this a joke?

"Lao Lei, although you are very confident, I have to say this first." Jiang Shan pointed at the table with his finger, "If you are so showy, then whenever there is a project, you dissatisfy me - this result is mine. It’s just zero points, understand?”

"It doesn't matter." Lei Wanqing grinned, showing his white teeth, "If I dare to do this, I have absolute confidence - just watch."

Seeing Lei Wanqing's appearance, everyone's curiosity was suddenly aroused.

They wanted to ask again, but at this moment, the picture on the screen in front of the table changed, and a major military overhaul had begun. Everyone could only suppress their curiosity for the time being and focus on the game.

……

Yu Cang came to a very spacious hall, where many people from other military regions were already sitting.

He took Qi'er and Lin Yunqing to their seats, and it didn't take long for Wanquan to find them.

"How is it?" Yu Cang asked.

"The news has come. The venue is in a different space called the 'Night Dire Boundary'. The entrance to the space debris is in the outpost." Wan Quan whispered, "To be honest, this is the first time I have heard of this. The name of the different space..."

"Is there anything special about this alien space?"

"Oh, look here." Wan Quan took out a folded page and pointed to the text on it. "It says that the Night Dire Border is shrouded in darkness all year round. This kind of darkness is very strange, and ordinary lighting There is no way to dispel it, and the light can only shoot out about four meters before being swallowed by darkness."

Yu Cang thought thoughtfully: "In other words, the field of view is only four meters...how can we do this?"

What can you see at four meters... The larger summoned beasts are longer than four meters, right?

"Yes...but there is a kind of ore in the Dire Border, called 'Ghost Crystal'. It is said that the light emitted by this crystal can illuminate the darkness in the Dire Border, but the Ghost Crystal requires energy. Driving and soul energy are also possible, but they require continuous injection. This will bring great mental pressure to the person who activates the ghost light crystal, almost making it impossible for them to fight.

"There are many wild beasts living in the Dire Border, and they all feed on the Nether Light Crystals. Therefore, once the light from the Nether Light Crystals lights up, they will immediately be attacked by a large number of wild beasts."

Yu Cang nodded clearly: "So that's it... It sounds like the environment in this different space is quite harsh. Is there any resource output? The association values ​​it so much?"

Wanquan shook his head: "I don't know about this, it's not mentioned in the intelligence."

"Okay... But if the environment is just like this, then it's actually not bad." Yu Cang showed a smile, "Our deck is enough to cope with this environment."

Wanquan also smiled.

"By the way, I'll add a duel shield to you. This is outside the country after all, and it's very dangerous." Wanquan stood up and took out a few soul cards, "This is the duel shield that the association just gave us. It is said that It is the latest technological achievement, and it is different from ordinary duel shields.”

"Oh?" Yu Cang looked at the thin shield covering the surface of his body, curious, "Aren't they all the same? What's the difference?"

"The difference is huge." Wan Quan said, "When an ordinary duel shield is broken, it will only form a gust of wind and bounce away the surrounding attacks. If you are unlucky at this time, the person being protected will still be injured. But this kind of duel But when the shield is broken, it will directly open a teleportation array to send the protected person to a safe place. In this way, there will basically be no accidental injuries."

"Oh? So good?" Yu Cang's eyes lit up.

There is also a transfer function.

With a thought in his mind, Yu Cang directly activated the entry extraction on the duel shield.

I saw a six-hour countdown appearing on it.

"Six hours..." Yu Cang's eyes lit up.

Looks like there's something good!

At this time, Wanquan also added duel shields to Qi'er and Lin Yunqing in turn, and then said: "Master, it's about to start over there. I have to go over there and watch... You guys stay for a while."

"Okay." Yu Cang nodded in agreement.

Not long after Wanquan left.

A soul card suddenly opened on the wall in front of the hall, and a strange picture appeared inside.

It looked like a tower there, not high, only seven or eight meters. The top of the tower was piled with some crystals emitting a faint blue light, which was currently covered by a wide canvas.

It was clearly only morning now, but the surroundings were already dark, and those faint blue lights were the only source of light in the dark night.

Yu Cang understood in his heart.

It seems that this is the boundary of the Night Dire... The crystal that exudes a faint blue light should be the Nether Light Crystal.

but……

Yu Cang looked at the edge color of the soul card in front of him and felt a little silent.

Red, this is a legendary card...

Do you even need a legendary soul card to complete the broadcast? It's really scary.

Looking from this picture, although the world in the Dire Boundary is pitch black, if you look carefully, you can still see things clearly. But Yu Cang knew that such a scene was probably the effect of the Legendary Card... The effect of the Legendary Card could only be like this. If you were really in it, you might not be able to see anything clearly.

Just when Yu Cang was sighing, light flashed above the tower, and a figure had appeared there.

This is the first mandatory item, holding the stronghold alone.

The schedule of the Armament Reform is very simple. It takes about three days to complete the competition, and then the ranking team will have the opportunity to go on stage to introduce its results.

Those who are not ranked can only be obedient spectators.

Now, the broadcast soul card is divided into three areas, each area shows a picture of a tower. Obviously, this project is being carried out by three teams at the same time.

As the picture appeared, the originally noisy venue gradually became quiet.

Everyone's attention is focused on the picture.

……

Shi Xi is a soldier from Mudu and a candidate to participate in the individual soldier stronghold holding project.

Being able to participate in this project, Shi Xi is naturally the leader in their company. Coupled with the specially designed deck, although Shi Xi is only level 4, he can last for a long time even against level 5.

After being teleported to the top of the tower, Shi Xi immediately began to observe the surrounding environment.

...can't see anything.

This is Shi Xi's only feeling.

The only thing that appeared in his field of vision was the top of this small tower. Apart from that, no matter which direction he looked, he could only see the purest darkness without any details.

Shi Xi came to the edge of the tower, looked down, and suddenly took a breath of cold air.

This...how high is this?

Pure darkness cut off the tower four meters away from him. Although Yu Cang and the others could see through the soul card that the tower was only seven or eight meters away, Shi Xi didn't know.

Four meters away, his line of sight was suddenly swallowed up by pure darkness. In addition, the wind noise at the top of the tower was a bit loud now, which made him feel like he was dozens of meters high in the sky.

"...Can't fall."

Shi Xi turned his head and looked at the things on the roof.

The line of sight is only four meters, and you can't even see the top of this small building from the edge. Fortunately, there are those dim light crystals under the canvas, so the view from the top of the tower is not too bad.

But that was all. The darkness around him gave Shi Xi the illusion that he was the only one in the world. He raised his head and looked at the sky, but couldn't even see the stars or clouds. There was only a monotonous darkness, a wave of The feeling of loneliness arises spontaneously.

"Let's end this project as soon as possible." Shi Xi immediately took out the soul card and started to prepare. "The environment here is not bad, and it is quite beneficial to me."

Bang!

The soul card shadow shattered, and a figure landed lightly on the ground. It turned out to be a giant wolf with pure white fur.

The hair of this giant wolf is very soft, and it doesn't even look like hair anymore, but more like clouds of smoke gathered together, surging like waves as the wind flows, and it looks really good-looking.

After the giant wolf landed, Shi Xi raised his hand again, and a soul card opened at his side. Shi Xi put his hand in and took out a long bow that was about the same height as a person.

This bow has no string, but as soon as Shi Xi pulls it, a wisp of smoke will automatically float out from the body of the giant wolf beside him, and condense into arrows in the long bow. The air in Shi Xi's hand will be pulled and twisted, It was as if there was a transparent bowstring made of airflow being held in his hand.

This is the result of their Mudu.

The rare summoning card Mist Flame Wind Wolf is the auxiliary, the equipment card Giant Wind Longbow is the main card, and other auxiliary soul cards form this deck.

The combat method of this deck is very simple. The Mist Flame Wind Wolf can swallow up the strong wind on the battlefield and condense it into "mist flame" on the body. The Giant Wind Longbow can convert the mist flame into bows and arrows. The more mist flames, the more arrows. The arrow's damage will be higher.

The advantage of this deck is very obvious. It only has two core soul cards. Even if you fill them all up, you can still leave a lot of space to carry auxiliary soul cards. And when fighting in a team, if a considerable number of mist flame wind wolves provide all the mist flames to one person at the same time... then the next arrow he shoots will be very terrifying, and can almost kill an epic in an instant.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. The Mist Flame Wind Wolf needs to swallow the wind to provide the Mist Flame. If it is played as mentioned above... it can even evacuate the battlefield into a vacuum in an instant.

After detecting that Shi Xi had used a tube of soul energy, the canvas covering the dim light crystal immediately shattered, turning into soul card fragments and dissipating into the air.

These canvases were also summoned by soul cards.

Without the cover of the canvas, the light of the ghost crystals expanded a bit, but still did not exceed the limit of four meters - after all, Shi Xi did not inject soul energy into these ghost crystals now, and relying solely on the naturally stimulated light was still not enough. To dispel the darkness.

Zhizhi! !

squeak!

Some small sounds suddenly came from the air and got closer and closer. Something sensed the light here and was coming quickly!

The tiny screams became louder and louder, coming from all directions like a tide, and Shi Xi's face suddenly became serious.

So many wild beasts!

Feeling that the soul energy had recovered a little, Shi Xi threw down another soul card. After the shadow was shattered, a low totem stood on the ground.

Rare card: Wind-catching totem!

The race is a creation, and as long as it is present, it can continuously gather the air from far away, forming a phenomenon similar to a tornado around it.

Shi Xi wanted to throw out a few more soul cards, but those tiny sounds were already approaching. His face tightened, he turned his head, bent his bow and fired.

There are two scoring criteria for this project, one is the persistence time, and the other is the preservation of the ghost crystal!

If the Desolate Beast destroys too many dim light crystals, the score won't be much higher.

So Shi Xi made a prompt decision and drew the long bow. The white and gray smoke condensed on his fingertips, and in the blink of an eye, three slender arrows were formed.

"go with!"

call out!call out!call out!

Three arrows flew out, only flying four meters before disappearing. But judging from the screams that came from the ears, these three arrows undoubtedly hit the mark!

"Okay." Shi Xi raised his bow without any surprise, turned around and shot several arrows.

Hit again!

Shi Xi couldn't help but reveal a smile.

It's okay, not too difficult.

Although the limited field of vision is indeed troublesome, it is not difficult for him to identify the position by listening to the sound. As long as he maintains fire suppression, his score in this item should not be low.

It's just a bit weird... Listening to these sounds, the ones attacking should be some small flying wild beasts. In Shi Xi's imagination, they should be existences similar to bats.

But judging from the speed at which the sound approaches, is the flying speed of these wild beasts... a bit too slow?

After all this time, I still haven't seen a desolate beast flying into the four-meter field of vision.

If it can fly in, then its own Mist Flame Wind Wolf can also join the battle, and maybe the battle will be resolved faster.

...No matter what, let’s clear a space as soon as possible.

Countless air was sucked in from a distance by the wind-catching totem, forming airflows that kept circling around. These airflows also caused damage and could slow down the wild beast's offensive, but more importantly, they provided him with a steady stream of ammunition!

Shi Xi listened to the noisy sound in his ears, raised his bow, and the mist flames condensed into an arrow. The difference was that this time, there was a fireball burning with mist flames in the front of the arrow.

This time the arrow has an explosive function!

The corner of Shi Xi's mouth curled up slightly. Personally, he liked this kind of explosive arrow very much. The feeling of super long-range explosion with one blow was simply not that satisfying. Unfortunately, he didn't usually use this kind of arrow.

Today's environment is just right.

However, just when Shi Xi was about to shoot this arrow...

The noisy sounds around suddenly stopped!

Without any warning, just disappear!

"What……"

Shi Xi paused for a moment, looking around with some uncertainty.

what happens……

The darkness swallowed up all the light, and at this moment, it seemed to also swallow up all the sound!

This sudden absolute silence made Shi Xi's hair stand on end, and a sense of horror suddenly spread throughout his body.

No, it's not absolute silence... There are also some sounds, which seem to be the sound of some huge object rolling over sand and gravel. This sound has been there before, but it is not obvious among the squeaks in the sky. At this moment, the squeaks disappear, He immediately rushed into Shi Xi's ears.

Is there something huge nearby... Shi Xi held the arrow, but did not shoot it immediately, because the sound surrounded the tower, and Shi Xi couldn't tell where to shoot.

Moreover, if there really is a giant of this size, then ordinary arrows are of no use, and the vital points must be confirmed before shooting.

But...how could it be possible? There were so many small wild beasts just now, how come...

Shi Xi swallowed and felt a tingle in his heart.

No, you have to see clearly!

Shi Xizhuan quickly ran to the side and raised a ghost light crystal. After injecting soul energy, the ghost blue light suddenly radiated out.

"This..." Shi Xi's eyes widened slightly, "What the fuck is this?"

What's this!

I saw that as the light of the dim light crystal gradually expanded, a huge outline surrounding the entire tower in the center continued to appear from the darkness. If that was all, it would not count the giant wild beasts that Shi Xi had seen in daily life. Less, but...

The thick limbs twisted on the ground. This wild beast looked like a starfish, but it was much more ferocious than the starfish.

Countless thick limbs are tangled together, making people worry that it will tie its body into a dead knot. No one knows exactly how many legs it has, but there must be more than five.

What's even more terrifying is that countless small mouths are densely grown all over his body, but at this time, they are all tightly closed.

"Wait a minute." A guess flashed through Shi Xi's mind, "Were those sounds just now coming from it..."

The next second, this wild beast confirmed its guess.

squeak!squeak!squeak!

As if feeling the light of the Nether Light Crystal, the desolate beast instantly rioted. The tiny mouths around him opened irregularly and let out countless ear-piercing screams. Its complex body was like this. The sky is filled with screams, approaching, approaching!

"Fuck!" Shi Xi blurted out.

No, even if you are a desolate beast, it is a bit too much for you to look so disgusting!

Even if it's dark here and no one can see what you look like, you can't look so casual!

But seeing it rushing towards him, Shi Xi couldn't think anymore. The dim light crystal fell from his hand and fell all the way down the tower with the light. The mist flame wind wolf beside him desperately devoured the air flow, continuously The mist flames condensed in the giant wind long bow, and an unprecedented giant arrow took shape!

The mist and flames were raging, and the long bow was fully drawn, but Shi Xi still did not shoot.

What is the weakness of this damn thing?

The whole body is covered with mouths, so it’s hard to see where the head is and where the weakness is!

"do not care!"

Shi Xi gritted his teeth, and the long arrow of mist flame shot straight out, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

For a moment, there was a loud squeaking sound, and the piercing screams all over the sky became fierce in an instant. The exaggerated sound waves even triggered the duel shield on Shi Xi's body, creating layers of ripples on the surface.

Shi Xi's expression was a little ugly.

"Didn't it hit the vital point..."

Raising his hand, Shi Xi wanted to shoot another arrow, but it was already too late.

The thick flesh tightened in an instant, the tower was crushed directly, and the light on it disappeared immediately.
