Chapter 296: Card Players Have Firm Minds

"I don't know."

Fujiki You Xuan acted innocent, looking around blankly.

"I've been waiting here for a long time, didn't see anyone else coming. Is there anyone else joining us?"

"Tch."

The Overlord of the Dark World spat.

"Really unreliable guys, the quality of messengers in the organization is getting worse every generation. I said long ago that the organization should strengthen the review... Forget it, the situation is urgent, so don't wait. It doesn't matter if there are a few less.

After the mission is over, I will naturally settle accounts with them. Let's go."

The Overlord of the Dark World didn't ask anything unexpectedly, turned around, waved his hand, and signaled Fujiki You Xuan to follow.

The mission hadn't started yet and three teammates had been wiped out. Fujiki You Xuan had already prepared to be exposed again and just beat this Overlord of the Dark World down together. Unexpectedly, this person didn't ask anything, and the action was quite decisive.

So Fujiki You Xuan thought about it, temporarily suppressed the idea of making trouble on the spot and winning the Deck, and decided to go deeper to see.

Decks would be there, no rush.

And although the Decks of these evil spirits could also be sold for money, there weren't many cards of value in a Deck. Fujiki You Xuan's current card library wasn't very scarce, and he cared more about that dark prop than cards.

If it really was the Millennium Puzzle that could summon the Pharaoh to return, it would be an earthquake-level impact on the entire pattern of the contemporary dueling world.

The Overlord of the Dark World didn't say a word along the way. Following him through the forest, they arrived at a valley. Ominous dark aura shrouded most of the valley, and pitch-black mist flowed between the valleys like thick ink from a distance.

The entrance to the valley had already formed a formation, and many spirits gathered here. Fujiki You Xuan just mixed into the team with that Overlord, and no one checked or asked anything, and the discipline looked quite loose.

And among them, the leader was a guy dressed as a red-robed mage, with a dark area under the robe, looking like a zombie.

King of the Dead - Lich Lord, six-star Undead-type, ATK 2400.

It seemed that among all the spirits present, he was also the highest level. And there was a six-pointed star mark representing Orichalcos on his forehead, which seemed to show his status in the organization.

"Everyone present, you are all messengers chosen by the god. You are all people with dueling talent, destined to serve the organization and the great god.

Now, the cave ahead is full of unknown obstacles. Obstacles of soul power, barriers of dark power, and power that twists the mind... these might be very dangerous for you, but I know you have all prepared."

Fujiki You Xuan understood.

So everyone gathered here is cannon fodder to step on mines and pits in the front, right?

"But the organization has confirmed through the ritual of prophecy that the 'Sealing Vessel' is inside this." The Lich Lord announced loudly, "Whoever can bring the 'Sealing Vessel' out will receive the god's favor and can be promoted three levels in the organization.

And even if some of you unfortunately fall into it, the god will remember you. Your souls will be forever remembered by the god, and your names will be forever remembered on the stone slab of merit..."

And then the god will tearfully eat your souls to show remembrance, right?

Fujiki You Xuan thought in his heart, but had already taken the lead to wave his fist: "We serve the organization not for fame and glory, but for firm faith! Even if we are smashed to pieces, we are willing!

For Orichalcos!"

The spirits present were all stunned by his move, until this person shouted again: "For Orichalcos!"

The surrounding spirits then reacted and hurriedly followed: "For Orichalcos!"

But the sound was chaotic and had no discipline at all.

Come to think of it, many people present weren't exactly willing to be cannon fodder and step on traps. It's just that now that there's a hot-headed youth leading the charge, they don't dare not follow along and shout slogans.

Not shouting? Don't you want to be smashed to pieces for the organization?

That's a matter of principle, a big problem. No one dared to take this crime.

The Lich Lord's attention soon fell on Fujiki You Xuan, very satisfied with the performance of this little messenger, and surprised why he had overlooked such a good seedling with such high awareness before.

So he asked with a smile: "Little messenger here, which team are you from?"

So Fujiki You Xuan decisively pushed out his superior, the Overlord of the Dark World who had just led him here.

"This is our captain."

"Good." The Lich Lord nodded with satisfaction. "Then today, your team will take the lead and enter first as a model. After bringing out the 'Sealing Vessel' today, I will report your merits, and the organization will remember your first merit."

"Thank you very much!"

Fujiki You Xuan wanted to rush in first anyway. Anyway, the Spirit World he logged into through the Link System was not afraid of any mechanism danger. It would be troublesome if they fell behind and some other small fry got the artifact first, and really brought it out to offer to the organization.

He couldn't ask for more than being the first to enter.

However, the Overlord of the Dark World who brought him was not good at all.

At this moment, he only looked at Fujiki You Xuan resentfully, thinking, do you have a disease?

Can't you see it's a death-sending job? Just have to show your awareness to the organization here?

You have awareness, but you have to pull me along, is your brain pitted?

However, although he was scolding in his heart, he couldn't show the slightest expression on his face, and had to nod heavily with an expression of "I am very happy" and "I am also voluntary": "Received!"

So Fujiki You Xuan got his wish and followed the Overlord of the Dark World to take the lead, and entered the cave together under the admiring gaze of the spirits behind.

The Overlord of the Dark World sighed.

Thinking that before the forces of Orichalcos invaded, he was also an Overlord of one side. Who would have thought that he would be reduced to a front-row cannon fodder...

Entering the valley, after walking a few steps, the cave in the Lich Lord's mouth soon appeared in front of him.

Damp cave, weeds growing outside the entrance. The weeds were scattered in height, some standing tall like swords, some curved like snakes, and the leaves were covered with morning dew, shining with crystal clear light, like a natural barrier cleverly concealing the narrow entrance of the cave.

If you didn't pass through the black mist and push aside the weeds, it would really not be easy to find.

Entering it for the first time, the passage was still narrow, and the damp breath rushed to his face. The cave entrance was irregular, and the edges were unevenly eroded by time.

But after going a few steps deeper, it gradually became spacious, and it turned out to be another world.

A burst of black mist like outside the cave attacked again.

Fujiki You Xuan soon realized that this might contain sounds similar to creating hallucinations. The humidity was getting heavier, and the air itself seemed to be becoming increasingly heavy.

Sounds began to appear in his ears, like the giggling of female spirits, and soft whispers: "Why so nervous? Come and relax together~"

More outrageous images began to appear all around.

A wide avenue in front, one side of the road was countless banknotes, and the other side was a mountain of cards, symbolizing wealth and power.

And in front of the road, he could even see Silent Magician, who always had a cold face, smiling at him like a glacier melting, with a hint of blush on her fair face...

Break.

The mist receded, and the illusion was quickly broken.

Fujiki You Xuan's footsteps were light, without any obstruction, and there was no ripple in his heart.

This level of temptation was completely unable to shake the steel-like, tempered mind of a card player.
