[Comprehensive] Card Boy

I don't know if it's because of the evil spirit or the influence of the mist just now, but the rumored island inhabited by monsters is full of barren rocks, and there is not a single plant that can be seen.A faint stench emanated from the black mud, mixed with the fishy smell of sea water, causing an indescribably strange smell to permeate the air.

I don't know if they were intimidated by Maitreya's wind cave. They didn't encounter similar attacks in the following time. They followed the breath of the jade of the four souls all the way to the center of the island. on the top of the hill.

The cliff is steep, and looking down along the cliff, it is a black abyss that cannot be seen at a glance.There was an icy mountain wind blowing from the bottom of the cliff, rattling the hem of the hanging clothes.

The wind was a bit strong, and the strands of hair kept brushing his cheeks. Shuo raised his hand to brush away the disheveled and scattered hair on his forehead. His emerald-like deep eyes remained motionless, staring straight at the entrance of the cave in front of him. .

Here, he could already clearly feel the magic fluctuations of the Clow card.

Kagome, who was wearing thin clothes, was wrapped airtight in the fire mouse robe, only her face and legs were exposed.But even so, her condition is still not very good, her legs are bare.Lu's skin was already blood-stained red, which was probably caused by the corrosion of the mist just now. Just a light touch would cause pain.

She lay down on Inuyasha's back with a pale face, clenched the longbow in her hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "The breath of the fragments of the four souls is getting stronger and stronger, they must be inside, we have to get the fragments back quickly Just do it."

"Hmph, I found it." Inuyasha snorted coldly, with a smile that was sure to win, "Let him hand over the fragments obediently. Kagome, can you still hold on?"

"I'm fine." Taking a deep breath, Kagome insisted as if she didn't see the disapproving gaze cast by Maitreya Coral Seven Treasures, "This little injury is nothing, my Demon-Breaking Arrow can purify four Soul Jade and Miasma can help in critical moments, and..."

At the end, her gaze unconsciously moved toward the slanting front.

Keenly aware of her gaze, Shuo turned around and nodded slightly.

There was a smile on Kagome's face, although it was shallow, it concealed a lot of the haggard feeling on his face, "The card Kinomoto-kun is looking for is also in it, and that is the key to his return home, so I can't help it." It’s impossible to sit idly by.”

"...Cut, I can't hold you back." Although he was a little unhappy with her words, Inuyasha curled his lips and agreed awkwardly, but his mouth was not forgiving, "Then you have to hurry up, after you go in I may not be able to take care of you, so be careful yourself."

"I know, don't worry." Kagome nodded.

The matter was settled in a few words, neither Inuyasha nor Kagome had any objections, and the others didn't say anything more.Withdrawing his gaze back, Shuo tightly grasped the nine cards in his pocket, and entered the cave first.

Just like what you can see from the outside, the inside of the cave is pitch black, and you can't even see the road under your feet.Mitreya took out the lighter from the luggage and typed it. With such a little light from the fire, the group walked cautiously while leaning on the wall.

It was probably because the place was narrow and there were enemies, so no one was in the mood to talk, and all their attention was focused on the attack that might appear at any time, so they stayed silent all the way.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a sudden light flashed in front of them. They left the dark and narrow corridor and came to a spacious underground space.

The air was a little humid and cold, but the candles lit on the walls did not affect it, and the dim yellow halo illuminated the place.

Kagome got off Inuyasha's back, looked around after standing still, and said in a low voice, "I can be sure that the fragments of the four souls are here."

"In other words, the big monster that the villagers talked about must be hiding here." Maitreya said, and then looked around, with some vigilance in his eyes, "I used the fog to test it when I went to the island. So he knew we were coming, but he didn't know where he was peeking at us now."

"It's really annoying to dodge." Inuyasha pulled out the broken teeth at his waist, and shouted at the wall in front of him, "Hey! Since you are here, don't hide, get out!"

Mitreya reassured, "Okay Inuyasha, even if you call him that, he won't come out. Since he has led us here, he must have a backup, and he won't show up so easily."

"What? Did you just let me wait like this?!"

Ignoring their clamor, Shuo stood quietly all the time, closing his eyes and carefully feeling the familiar fluctuation mixed in the evil spirit.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and took two steps to the left calmly.

Kagome, who had been watching him out of the corner of his eye, felt it immediately, and called him with some doubts: "Kinomoto-kun?"

Shuo paused, did not respond to her call, but calmly watched the air in front of him, and said softly, "If you don't want to come out, then I can only force you to come out."

As soon as the words fell, the tree card flew out from behind him, and scattered green fluorescent lights fell from her body.These rays of light are like the seeds of plants, and after entering the ground, a piece of green tree buds burst out instantly.

The tree bud has a strong growth ability, and it has grown to the height of a person in the blink of an eye. The crown of the tree stretches to the surrounding area, and the dense leaves block everyone's sight.

The flower card also appeared once in a while. A girl in a beige-colored dress danced leisurely in the air. Countless bright flowers sprinkled from the hem of her skirt and spread all over the floor. The refreshing fragrance diffused from the air. Covered the original bad smell.

"Kinomoto-kun?" Kagome looked at him in surprise, obviously not understanding why he did this.

Others were also very puzzled by his sudden act of greening the environment. Only Maitreya bent down and picked up a flower, put it on his nose and sniffed it gently, and said with emotion: "It smells so fragrant..."

These words seemed to touch some kind of switch, the originally flat ground suddenly began to tremble, the ground under his feet cracked, and black silt gushed out from the ground, swallowing the flower petals all over the ground in an instant, and the pungent smell returned Invading the nasal cavity, several people subconsciously raised their hands to cover their noses.

Among them, only Shuo's expression was still calm, he kept the posture just now, motionless, still looking in the direction just now.The tree sign sat on his shoulder, and followed his gaze curiously.

During the earthquake, a pitch-black figure rose from the ground, his whole body was covered with thick mud, only his eyes were exposed on the place where his face seemed to be, and a strong stench emanated from his body, forcing Shuo Also took a step back.

The muddy eyes of the faceless mud demon rolled around, passed over Inuyasha and the others, and finally landed on Saku's body and stopped moving. Immediately, a rough and hoarse voice sounded, "It's you..."

"Yes, it's me." Shuo put down his hand covering his nose, ignored the smell in the air, and interrupted his unfinished sentence with a slight smile, "The smell here is really bad, I'll help you beautify it , In the end, it’s fine if you don’t thank me, but you even destroyed the masterpiece of trees and flowers, which really makes me sad.”

He sighed after he finished speaking, as if he was really disappointed by this.

As early as when he landed on the island, he felt that something was wrong, because the mud on the soles of his feet was very sticky and soft. It felt like some kind of mollusk, and he was even slightly wriggling, as if alive, which surprised him a little .It's just that other people's attention was attracted by the quarrel between Quan Wei and the subsequent fog, and even the most attentive Maitreya didn't notice, so he didn't say anything.

Looking at it now, his guess was indeed correct. The monsters born from the black mud are most afraid of the soil being purified.

"You!" Faced with Shuo's actions, the clay demon was obviously irritated, and he immediately rushed towards Shuo.

Shuo stood there without moving. He raised his hand and tapped the tree card in the void. The remaining trees leaned towards Shuo's face.

"Don't think that you can stop me like this!" The blocked mud demon took a step back, his sinister eyes still fell on Shuo, and suddenly, he turned his head and shouted loudly, "Get rid of you, Master Lan!"

Lan?

Shuo's eyes moved slightly.

As the mud demon's voice fell, a hurricane rose out of nowhere, and the fierce wind blew down the trees that the tree signs had spawned, breaking their trunks and falling to the ground.The petals stained with mud all over the ground were blown by the wind and fluttered randomly in mid-air, like scattered scraps of paper.

Shuo was a little unsteady because of the wind, and subconsciously raised his arms to block his eyes.Just when he was trying to keep his center of gravity from being blown away, he suddenly heard Kagome shouting in his ear: "Inuyasha!"

Then out of the corner of his eyes, a figure flew past quickly and stood in front of him.

Tie Sui Ya chopped off the body of the mud demon who was waiting for an opportunity to attack him. The black mud fell, and was quickly sucked back as if alive, sticking together again.

Taking advantage of this time, Inuyasha turned his head around and shouted at Shuo, "Don't hinder me here, go and stay by the side!"

Before Shuo had time to speak, he tightened his collar, and his feet flew into the air. At some point, the enlarged Mica took his collar and flew him back to Kagome's side.

"Are you all right, Kinomoto-kun?" Kagome hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"I'm fine." Shuo shook his head, still looking at the trembling Inuyasha and Mud Demon, and signaled, "It's just that the situation over there is a bit difficult."

Kagome froze for a moment, followed his line of sight, and then couldn't help frowning.

The mud demon was originally born of black mud, and its whole body was formed like mud. Not to mention the smell, this mud-like body was still invulnerable, and Iron Broken Fang couldn't do anything to him.Because as long as the blade enters the body, it will be immediately covered by mud. Even if the mud is cut off as before, the part that was cut off will stick back quickly, and it will return to its original state in the blink of an eye. It will not hurt the mud monster. cause any substantial harm.

In addition to the difficulty of the monster itself, the hurricane that swept just now has not stopped. While trembling with the mud monster, Inuyasha has to struggle to stabilize his body, and if he is not careful, he will be blown over.

"It's the Jade of the Four Souls, it's on his back." Kagome frowned and said, "If you don't take the Jade of the Four Souls out of the monster's body, it may be difficult to kill him."

Shuo raised his eyebrows, "It's not just as simple as the jade of the four souls."

"What?" Kagome gave him a puzzled look, then suddenly bent down and covered her left leg, gasping for air, "It hurts!"

Coral quickly helped her up, raised her eyes and looked around, her expression became a little dignified, "No, it's mist! The mist that can corrode human skin has appeared again!"

The thick light green fog came from nowhere, and gradually gathered around Inuyasha.Although most of them stayed in the front, there was still some fog along the air and diffused to the sides of the few people in the corner.

in the sky.

Shuo raised his head and followed the wave of magic power to look over.I saw a long-haired woman in a long skirt hanging in the air, and the mist drifted downward from her palm.

"Is that the card that Kinomoto-kun wants to subdue?" Kagome forced herself to stand upright, "Why... are you with the monster?"

"I'm also very surprised that she will be used by monsters." Shuo withdrew his gaze and turned to look at her with a serious face, "But now, we need to subdue them first, otherwise there will be obstacles from them." , Inuyasha can't concentrate on fighting."

"I see." Kagome nodded, "What should I do?"

"That place." Shuo stretched out his hand and pointed to the right rear of the mud demon, which is where the hurricane first blew, "You shoot there with your arrow and see if you can force another card to reveal itself."

As if she didn't expect there to be two so-called cards here, Kagome first widened her eyes in surprise, but she didn't say much, and after saying yes, she opened her bow and arrow.

The purple demon-breaking arrow is covered with spiritual power, and with the escort of the tree card, it can unswervingly shoot towards the designated location even in a hurricane.

With a flash of bright light, a curly-haired little boy appeared behind the mud demon, clutching his arms.

"Very good, leave it to me." Shuo took the tree card back and threw another card into the air, "'time'!"

When the time card was activated, everything around was stopped in an instant. The little boy who had just appeared and the long-haired woman in the sky just kept closing their eyes and covering their arms and stopped moving.

Just when Shuo was about to use the ice card to seal the fog and mist, he heard a voice in his ear: "Hey, are you all not allowed to move?"

He was taken aback for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Kagome looking around with a puzzled expression on his face. After seeing him, he blinked blankly and asked him, "Is this also caused by Kinomoto-kun's magic power?"

It stands to reason that the time card can block all time and people's movements, and only those with magical powers can move, but apart from him, Kagome is not affected, which surprised Shuo.

It's just that he knows that now is not the time to be curious about this, and his magic power can't be controlled for too long, so he immediately said: "It's too late to explain to you, we only have 3 minutes, you can help me shoot down the fog card on it with an arrow first." Come down, I'll help you take out the pieces of jade."

"Eh? Okay." Kagome was taken aback for a moment, but quickly nodded without any objection.

She took out an arrow from the quiver behind her, drew the bowstring and pointed it at the long-haired woman in the sky, because she looked like a human no matter how she looked, she hesitated for a moment, but her eyes soon became firm. .

The Demon-Breaking Arrow with purple light escaped from the bowstring.

Taking advantage of this time, Shuo activated the freezing card, and the thick layer of ice froze the Lan card in the middle.

In just one day, using the six cards of Xiang, Shu, Dong, Water, Flower, and Time in a row, almost exhausted all his existing magic power, making his eyes go black and he staggered.

He barely stabilized his figure, shook his dizzy head, and took advantage of the gap to get behind the mud monster. He thrust his hand in with all his strength, and after a long time of groping back and forth, he finally touched a small fragment.

"Kinomoto-kun, I'm OK here!" Kagome's voice sounded, Shuo gritted his teeth and pulled out the fragments.

Kagome staggered to his side with a longbow in his hand, and Shuo handed her the fragment of the four souls that he had just taken out from his hand. As soon as the fragment touched Kagome's palm, the originally dirty color faded instantly , the clean and pure soft light lit up.

Shuo turned his head and walked towards the long-haired woman who was shot by Kagome, because the magic power of the time card had not faded, so the long-haired woman remained motionless with her eyes closed.

However, as soon as Shuo approached her, her body turned into a green light and returned to the original form of playing cards.

themist.

fog.

Holding the card that tremblingly floated into his hand, Shuo turned around and planned to take another card, but suddenly, the time card appeared in front of him.

At the same time, the surrounding scenes that seemed to have stagnated also started to move again.

The magic of the time card has faded.

Shuo's body swayed a bit, the feeling of exhaustion made him unable to stand still, and this time he finally farted.The stock fell to the ground.

"Kagome, when did you come here? Go back soon!" Inuyasha's eyes widened in surprise.

"I..." Kagome paused and didn't know how to explain it for a while, but suddenly saw something wrong with Saku's appearance, and ran over with a change of expression, "Are you okay, Kinomoto-kun?!"

Shuo was helped up half of her body by her. The sequelae of running out of magic power made him unable to hear what she said clearly, but he was thinking of another card that had not been conquered, so he forced his eyes not to close, and whispered Said to Kagome: "Help me to Lan's side..."

Kagome quickly followed suit and used all her strength to lift him up.

'Crack bang'.

There was a crisp sound of crushing ice.

With a twitch in Shuo's heart, a bad premonition arose instantly.

He raised his eyes and saw that the layer of ice covering Lan Pai had already cracked.Probably because of his lack of magic power now, there is no way to continue to maintain the magic effect of the frozen card.

If the ice is broken like this, then Lan Pai will definitely take this opportunity to escape, and Shuo has no energy to hunt him down.

Just thinking about it made Shuo clenched his fists.

He took a quick breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up..."

Kagome hurriedly quickened her pace, but she was already injured, and she was a girl, so her strength was limited, so it was not easy to lift him up, let alone walking fast.

While being so wobbly, Shuo watched helplessly as the scratches on the ice grew bigger and bigger. Lan Pai's eyelids in the middle moved, and it seemed that he was about to break through the ice, but he could only worry in his heart, his physical condition was not good He is allowed to rush to the side of the card immediately.

At this critical moment, his right waist felt hot, and the water card broke through the restriction and forcibly revealed himself. With the last bit of strength, he turned into a monstrous jet of water and headed towards the piece of ice.

The ice cube was smashed by the rapid water flow, and the Lan card that had just thawed in the middle couldn't dodge, was hit by the water, struggled painfully, and then turned into a card in the package of the vortex, and flew back to Shuo's hand.

At the same time, without the power of the Jade of the Four Souls and the hindrance of the two Clow cards, Inuyasha smashed the slime's body with a single blow.

"No!" The monster that was broken in half uttered its final wail before dying, "Master Yue, I haven't turned over to Master Yue—"

"What did you say?!" Shuo's eyes widened suddenly, and with the strength he didn't know where he came from, he broke away from Kagome's support, and staggered towards the mud monster, unbelievable, "You just said Yue ?!"

However, it was impossible for the mud demon who was completely dead to answer his question.

hateful……!

He fell to the ground, and Kagome behind him hurried up to support him and asked if he was injured.But he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these questions any more, he was completely overwhelmed by the name that the monster called out before he died.

This monster actually knew Yue!

He should have thought of it a long time ago. How could it be a coincidence that two Clow cards appeared on this island? !

But it was too late for him to realize now, because the only monster who knew the whereabouts of the moon was speechless.

Thinking of this, his heart froze.Anger, annoyance and other emotions surged into his heart together with the exhaustion of magic power, which made his vision go black and he lost consciousness immediately.
