Chapter 72

Chapter 72: You Almost Came Too Late

Ghostly otherworld dimension.

Desolate and eerie, a gray desert with numerous destroyed houses.

Fortunately, when the ghostly otherworld dimension invaded the Card Master world, it wasn’t close to the city center, but rather near the suburbs.

Therefore, this incident didn’t cause much damage to Pingcheng, and there weren’t many casualties.

Currently, what’s most troubling for Pingcheng is the expansion problem of these otherworld dimensions. If they can’t quickly restrict the expansion of the otherworld dimension, the entire Pingcheng will eventually suffer.

……

On the desert at the edge of the suburbs.

Many buildings were buried under sand and dust.

A motorcycle drove forward, with a girl in a red short skirt sitting on the back.

“Can you sense where she is?” Luo Sheng asked.

Bai Moxue pouted her lips and said, “Hmph, you’re looking for another girl behind my back. You really are a playboy.”

“It’s a mission. Once we finish this job, we can rest for half a month,” Luo Sheng explained.

“Rest for half a month?”

Bai Moxue’s jewel-like eyes suddenly brightened.

As if discovering a new world, she involuntarily smiled.

In the motorcycle’s rearview mirror, Luo Sheng could see her lips curling into a pure, peach-colored smile, like first love on a spring day.

So cute~

But after Luo Sheng glanced at it, his scalp immediately tingled, and his kidneys ached, instantly sobering him up.

“Ahem, let’s focus on the task at hand,” he said, changing the subject.

“Alright, darling~”

Bai Moxue gently pinched his waist, then disappeared into the shadows of the motorcycle, vanishing on the desert.

Luo Sheng’s body immediately shuddered.

He felt like the wolfberries in his thermos weren’t enough.

He recalled seeing old men being called home by their wives when he was young, showing a bitter expression. He thought they were henpecked.

Now he realizes he was naive.

The old men’s waist-shaking amplitude was a silent protest. Ah, when will men stand up?

Unlike me, just a pure student.

While Bai Moxue was searching the surrounding area, Luo Sheng also spread his spiritual power, covering the nearby regions.

Occasionally, they encountered two small monsters.

With Bai Moxue’s assassin attributes, a flash of golden light took care of them, turning them into two identical cards.

【Wild Boar Warrior】

Level: Bronze 4-star

Type: Magical beast

Skills:

①Wild Boar Roar: Increases its own rage value and damage through roaring.

②Great Axe Chop: Standard battle move, capable of causing heavy damage.

③Fatty Body: High defense and thick health pool.

Description: An important part of the piggy army, with a thick health pool, making it an excellent meat shield choice.

The card’s quality was ordinary.

This type of card usually doesn’t sell for more than 30,000, but every little bit counts.

Luo Sheng accepted them without hesitation.

For such low-level cards, he didn’t need to summon other girls; Bai Moxue could handle them well.

Luo Sheng was about to determine the direction.

Bai Moxue returned to the back of the motorcycle, “Found her, not far away at the bottom of the desert cliff, there’s her blood.”

He immediately turned the bike around.

Driving at top speed, in case the target client died, making this whole operation in vain.

……

Roar!

A huge pig-headed man let out an angry roar.

It wore a gray-white iron helmet on its head, wielding a long giant axe in one hand and a round shield in the other, standing as tall as two people.

It was walking step by step towards a woman.

The woman had multiple battle wounds on her body, even her thigh-high stockings were torn, revealing deep, bone-deep wounds on her fair, lustrous skin.

Fresh blood flowed and dried, then cracked open and flowed again, drying once more.

It made one’s brows furrow involuntarily.

But she seemed to feel no pain, still expressionless, calmly looking at the pig-headed man before her.

She lit up a card 【Soul Locking Nail】.

A golden crossbow bolt shot out, aiming for its neck.

The pig-headed man had already sensed it and raised its round shield. Clang! With a metallic sound, the soul-locking nail bounced off.

The pig-headed man had successfully blocked her soul-locking nail and let out a mocking laugh… Hoo hoo hoo, taking heavy steps forward.

Xu Yourong, whose sneak attack had failed, showed no joy or sorrow, quietly watching as the creature before her grew larger in her vision, raising its giant axe intending to chop her.

The next moment.

Huge flames erupted from the pig-headed man’s body, the blaze exploding and forming an eerie tornado.

It constantly scorched its body, and crackling sounds could be heard inside the fiery storm.

As the pig-headed man tried to resist, suddenly a large number of ropes bound it, rendering it immobile.

After the pig-headed man struggled for a while, it saw a magical girl approach, raising a fire-red metal gun. After a gunshot.

A bullet made of fire elements hit its forehead.

The pig-headed man immediately turned into a bronze card.

【Wild Boar General】

Rank: Bronze 9-star

Type: Magical beast

Skills:

①Thick-skinned: Tough skin and thick flesh, inherently high defense and health.

②Pig Charge: Charges at the enemy, causing damage with its enormous body.

③Round Shield Protection: Can use the round shield for defense, reducing damage from ranged weapons.

④Brute Strength: Possesses great strength, dealing high damage.

⑤Beast Fighting Tactics: Common battle techniques for fighting enemies, sustaining damage output.

⑥Wild Boar Roar: Besides increasing its own strength, it also boosts the morale of allied pig units.

⑦Pig Command: Comes with an effect that increases allied pig units’ damage by 9%.

Description: Behind me are a million pig lions, come at me if you dare!

Luo Sheng picked up this card, his eyes lighting up.

“This is a really good card.”

This card not only had a high level but also had certain bonus effects, and its quality wasn’t low either, being excellent grade.

It’s very suitable as a meat shield, probably worth over 700,000.

Luo Sheng already had 【Shadow of War】 as a tank, so he didn’t plan to build a pig card deck.

Then he looked up at Xu Yourong, “Miss, seems like you really need some help.”

He secretly rejoiced internally, thankfully he had arrived in time, otherwise, the 15 million before him would have flown away.

Xu Yourong looked up at him and said, “You came.”

“Yes, I came.”

“You shouldn’t have come…”

“But, I still came.”

“No, I just wanted to say you shouldn’t have come so late. If you were two minutes later, perhaps your target client would have been gone.”

“Huh?” Luo Sheng was stunned for a moment, confused, “Shouldn’t you thank me first? After all, I just saved you.”

Xu Yourong said bluntly, “You risked saving me because the reward offered by my family isn’t low, right?”

“No!” Luo Sheng said righteously, “Out of concern for a friend, that’s why I came. After all, it would be a loss to society if such a beautiful young lady were to fall.”

“Well, that’s actually a bit touching,” Xu Yourong lowered her head to examine her own injuries.

At this moment, she was quite seductive.

The battle-damaged thigh-high stockings revealed large areas of clean, smooth delicate skin, flawless to the touch.

Her body was also covered in wounds, her fair pink shoulders hanging with torn black spaghetti straps, her ink-black hair floating in the wind, the young lady’s dignified face and deep cleavage…

“Like what you see?”

Xu Yourong looked up and asked.

Luo Sheng, with his hand on his conscience, said righteously, “I’m checking your wounds. Look at this wound, it’s big and deep. If left untreated, it will get infected. Let me help you treat it!”
