Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain.

Chapter 578 I have a good idea!

The chariot drove across the land, and the scenery outside the window gradually became less desolate and turned into grassland.

Suddenly, Yu Cang looked out of the car window and saw a man with a whip standing on a low hill not far away, looking at them.

Yu Cang's expression changed slightly: "That is..."

"It's the herdsmen." Fashi said, "The Changsheng Tent is a world of its own, isolating the hunters from countless dangers, but there are some things that they can't be self-sufficient... For example, the herdsmen herd a wild beast called 'Salt Sheep'...

“This kind of wild beast has no strength, and it will never become very strong in its lifetime... But its meat is delicious. The raw meat tastes good, and when it is seasoned with spices, it becomes a famous delicacy of our hunter tribe... It’s just a pity that this kind of salt sheep is very picky about taste. It must eat grass grown in the land surrounded by wild beasts to make it taste the best.

"There are naturally not that many wild beasts in the Changsheng Tent, so the herdsmen need to drive the salt sheep to graze outside the Changsheng Tent."

While Fa Shi was introducing them, Yu Cang's eyes were always on the herdsmen on the hill.

With his eyesight, he could already make out the man's expression at this distance... nervous, but also with some curiosity and awe.

The man was wearing tattered woolen clothes that looked quite simple. His face was dark and he looked like he often slept in the open air.

Yu Cang casually said: "From your description, you seem to be quite impressed with the taste of the salted lamb. It seems that you have tried it yourself."

"It is the best delicacy in the world, so you must taste it. Since you are all guests of the Hunter Clan, you must taste this salted lamb."

"Shouldn't monks like you avoid meat and fish?"

"There is no scripture in the Changsheng Sect that prohibits eating meat, but some monks are compassionate and do so on their own initiative."

The Eastern Continent where Yan State is located has similar Buddhist beliefs.

The Elephant Pagoda, the Hunter Tribe's Longevity Tent and the extinct ancient mountain kingdom are all major Buddhist countries, and there are also many Buddhists in the Yan Kingdom.

However, Buddhism is different in every country. Monks cannot eat meat, which is a stereotype of Buddhist believers. Among the hunting tribes, there is really no need to be a vegetarian.

At this time, Wen Renge seemed to have thought of something, frowned and interrupted: "I saw that man is only a fourth-level soul card master. How can he survive on such a grassland alone?"

"...immeasurable and long-lasting life." Fashi chanted a Buddhist name, "They are blessed with long-lasting life."

"Heh... the same thing again." Wen Renge sneered, "Looking at your guilty look, this must have been forced upon you, right?"

"No, no." Fashi shook his head. "The job of herding sheep is hard to come by even within the hunting tribe... After all, herding sheep is also a form of spiritual practice. Countless believers are willing to sign up and contribute to Changsheng. Those who are selected are the best among them."

"Aren't they afraid of being eaten by wild beasts, with both people and sheep being lost?"

Nowadays, although the number of wild beasts has decreased a lot outside the scope of the God-condemned Desolate Land, that is only relatively speaking. Just listen to the roars of beasts that come and go in your ears and you will know that this place is definitely not safe.

What's more, countless wild beasts were attracted to the God-condemned wasteland and gathered here. The density of wild beasts here is definitely higher than before.

They had seen many legendary wild beasts along the way. In such a place, could a mere level 4 beast really survive? Were they sure it wasn't a consumable?

"Donor, you don't know." Fashi explained, "This is already the range of the Longevity Tent. When the hunters walk in it, as long as they silently recite the name of Longevity in their hearts, they will be led by the power of the Longevity Tent. No matter what danger they are in, they will return to the Longevity Tent in an instant, and their lives will be safe."

Hearing this, Wen Renge frowned slightly: "...Is that so?"

He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

At this time, Lou Yan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "He is right...but the truth is not that easy.

"At first, I also thought that with the protection of the Immortality Tent, those herdsmen would not die no matter what. But... when I escaped from the Immortality Tent, I saw with my own eyes a herdsman being devoured by a mad beast."

At this point, Lou Yan's eyes dimmed a little: "I don't remember the strength of the wild beast that attacked... but its speed is definitely beyond the reaction of a fourth-level soul card master. I watched from the side and subconsciously called for him to live forever, but before I finished calling, he had already...

"I wanted to save him, but the uncle who was escorting me didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he took me away."

Wen Renge looked over and said, "Then why are those Level 4 Soul Card Masters scrambling to grab this job? Is it really because they want to contribute to Changsheng?"

"...No." Lou Yan turned his head, his eyes showing some pity, "Because, in the Ninth Account, they have no choice... The Ninth Account has now become a living hell, and the people there have only two options: practice the art of immortality, or become human pills.

"Those with talent may be taken to the Eighth Tent, but most people don't have this option...other than that, they'll just be left alone. By choosing this option, at least they'll be protected by the Ninth Tent's royal court, and they won't have to worry about being caught in their sleep and used to make human pills one day."

"Why didn't the Ninth Tent's royal court send more experts?"

“No expert is willing to do this kind of dirty and tiring work… In the beginning, there were some, a few level 7 soul card masters could watch over a large area, but ever since a shepherd who was traveling with them was killed and made into a human pill… no one is willing to sign up to work under the supervision of an expert.

"They don't want to let those experts watch from outside all the time. They think it's a waste of time. Over time, this is the only way."

"... Humph, I knew it." Wen Renge snorted coldly, "It seems that those who choose to shepherd are those who don't want to become card banners. They are rare good people... When I heard some rumors about the immortal tent when I was a child, I thought it was cool and unrestrained. Now it seems? It's just so-so."

What? Outside the border, if you see a shepherd driving his sheep across the grassland, and you say hello to him, then after a thick fog passes, the shepherd will disappear... that means you have seen the Longevity Tent.

This description makes me feel relaxed to the fullest, and I thought this longevity tent was some kind of paradise on earth.

Sure enough, this kind of thing can only be understood by seeing it with one’s own eyes.

Faced with Wen Ren Ge's sarcasm, Fa Shi just clasped his hands together and did not respond.

In the front seat, Qi'er was leaning on the car window. After listening to Lou Yan's description, she looked at the shepherd in the distance with a look of pity.

"Brother..." She said softly, "How about we take that uncle with us... He's so pitiful."

"...I want to help, but I can't." Yu Cang sighed, "Although herding sheep is dangerous, it is his way of protecting his life and surviving in the Hunter Clan. If we take him away, he will be derelict in his duty. Unless we take him back to Yan Country, taking him away will harm him."

"Well... okay then." The girl felt a little disappointed, but had no choice but to give up.

She was still young and didn't see things that complicatedly. Yu Cang explained a few words to her at this moment. Although she didn't quite understand it, she chose to believe Yu Cang.

The atmosphere in the car was silent for a while.

"anyway."

Yu Cang suddenly said.

"According to what you said...Fashi, you can return to the Changsheng Tent at any time now?"

"……nature."

When within the range of the Changsheng Tent, as long as one silently recites the name of Changsheng, one can return immediately. Putting other factors aside, this ability is quite convenient.

"Oh?" Yu Cang's expression remained unchanged. "Your shackles are now removed. I thought you would get out immediately when you could."

"Infinite and eternal life." Fashi put his hands together, "I am calm and at peace, so I am not in a hurry."

"...You'd better go."

Fashi blinked and said, "Are you... chasing me away?"

"It would be hard for you to explain if the Imperial Master knew that you returned to the Changsheng Tent with us." "The Imperial Master must have known about it by now. If we continue to hide it, it would be like trying to cover up a crime..."

"It's better than just falling out."

"But……"

"Fa Shi." Yu Cang smiled, "Is what I said difficult to understand?"

"Um... I understand, I understand." Fashi laughed dryly twice.

Then he put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name loudly - suddenly a cloud of mist appeared in the car, covering Fashi, and then quickly slipped away from the car window. When Yu Cang looked again, Fashi's figure had disappeared.

Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly.

When Fa Shi disappeared, he used his Starry Sky Vision to observe... but found nothing. He could only sense a fluctuation of space attribute.

This longevity tent is truly magical.

……

The chariot continued on the road for a while, and at a certain moment

laugh--

Du Yanran slowly slowed down the chariot and finally stopped it on the side of the road.

"Okay, according to the agreement—" Du Yanran said, "We stop here and wait for the hunters to pick us up."

When they got there, his tone relaxed a little.

This mission was indeed extremely dangerous... Just the journey was thrilling to this extent.

Although... a large part of the thrill was caused by Tai Chu's insistence on taking an unconventional path.

Although the Hunters are a closed-door nation, they still have trade caravans on the border with the Yan Kingdom.

Of course, it's one-sided.

The caravans of the Hunter Clan would travel thousands of miles to the border of Yan State to conduct some transactions with the people here... Most of the people in these caravans are not pure businessmen, but basically people from the Hunter Clan’s royal court. They come here for two reasons: one is to trade, and the other is to gather intelligence about Yan State.

However, Yan Country is in its heyday, and the association will not care too much about such petty theft.

If they do not have dealings with the Yan Kingdom, the only ones who will suffer are the Hunters themselves.

Intelligence? Whatever intelligence I can find out, I can tell you.

As the most powerful country in the world, we have such confidence.

However, because of this, there are several relatively safe trade routes between the Hunters and Yan Country. Their original plan was to follow a Hunter caravan to the Changsheng Tent.

But who knew that when they were about to set off, Tai Chu slapped his head and decided to cross the wasteland of God's punishment.

There is no other solution. There can’t be a trade route here… There was one before, but it’s gone now.

Tai Chu's explanation to Yu Cang was that it was necessary to focus on the rhythm in the center of the battlefield and avoid sneak attacks by the hunters.

But now it seems... Tai Hina only took a glance at Rhythm in the center of the battlefield, and didn't avoid the sneak attack in the end... Perhaps looking at the scenery was Tai Hina's main purpose.

Anyway, now that they have safely arrived at the Longevity Tent, there shouldn't be any unexpected problems...

"Yu Cang." Tai Chu's weird AI synthesized voice suddenly came, "I have a good idea."

Yu Cang: "...you say."

An ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"Let's not worry about the Hunter Tribe's royal court for now... How about we sneak into the Immortal Tent and look around first?" Tai Chu said, "It just so happens that I haven't been here for a long time, so I might as well take a look and see what's different from the past."

Hearing this, Du Yanran frowned, then relaxed. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Senior, as envoys, we should not do this..."

He could understand why he didn't go with the hunters on the road, but why did he sneak in when he was already at someone's door?
Is this...is this reasonable?
Tai Chu stretched out his hand and pointed at Yu Cang: "He has a mission."

Du Yanran: "..."

Don't you think he is stupid?
Who just slapped his forehead and said "I have a good idea"!

What kind of mission is this?
Don't you want to avoid people now? You're not even acting!
Yu Cang: "...She is right."

"I understand." Du Yanran's expression became serious, "I will definitely cooperate with the association's mission with all my strength."

Yu Cang has spoken, the mission is real!
The co-pilot couldn't help but feel amused and helpless when he saw Qiu Jindong like this.

However, he quickly put away his expression and said nothing.

He has now forcibly linked the core soul card, and his combat power is a little unstable. After entering the longevity tent, he still has to rely more on the myth Tai Chu.

Whatever she wants to do, she can do it.

Meanwhile, Yu Cang hesitated for a moment before asking, "...So, Senior, do you really just want to take a look?"

"Not really." Tai Chu said casually, "Changsheng is very strong, and the Changsheng Tent, this strange space, also has some magical features. The Hunters are in charge of the Changsheng Tent. If they lead us into the Changsheng Tent... maybe my strength will not be hidden."

Yu Cang's eyes widened involuntarily: "Even you, Senior...?"

Tai Hina is a legend, so how could he not hide his strength when he passed through the Changsheng Tent?

"It's just a possibility - to avoid alerting the enemy, let's sneak in... It's a good opportunity, we can secretly collect some intelligence."

"Okay then." Yu Cang nodded.

This reason is indeed worth the trip.

Before meeting the God of Wilderness, Tai Hina had better hide his strength as much as possible.

Otherwise, if the God of Wilderness sensed that there was a hostile myth in the Changsheng Tent, even if he saw Yu Cang, he might not descend easily.

"Then... how do we get in?" Yu Cang blinked, "Do we do the same as Fashi... calling for immortality in our hearts?"

"No need, it's useless for you to shout." Tai Chu took out a soul card, "I have my own way."
