The Card Cultivation System
CCS-53

The four people walked for several hours before meeting the Spirit Beast. So their energy and qi were already fully charged.

Those Spirit Beasts did not provide any meaningful resistance and they could kill him easily.

After that, they met the Spirit Beast again a few times, but no one was to threaten.

It was late and they decided to rest.

Lin Zhu and Qin Mo stared intently at Lian Minjie while trying her advice to tie themselves up in the tree.

That advice proved successful. The proof, now Qin Mo and Lin Zhu sleep comfortably and the next day their bodies are quite fresh.

Several days passed without any significant events. Surely, those days also passed with the jokes of those four people. Xika was already getting closer to Lian Minjie, Qin Mo, and Lin Zhu.

"Sister Qin, how much longer are we going to arrive?"

"Hmmmm..it looks like 2 or 3 days left."

"Ah, Stupid Qin, Strange Lian. Don't you want to change your appearance?" asked Lin Zhu suddenly.

"We've changed our appearance" Lian Minjie replied with a puzzled look.

"That's not what I meant. We have changed our hair and style of dress. But our faces remain the same. If anyone knows us close enough, we'll get caught because our faces stay the same."

"So what should we do?" ask Xika.

"Hehehe..these cards have various benefits." replied Lin Zhu with a smile on his face.

Lian Minjie frowned then said,

"Didn't I forge those cards? Why did I make those cards alone not know of any function other than to be a face cover?"

"That's because while you were still fusing it, I fiddled with the card a little" Lin Zhu replied with a grin on his sinless face.

The double!

Lian Minjie hit Lin Zhu on the head.

"Damn it! I told you not to tinker with my tools. Good thing you didn't bust these cards this time."

"Then how to use other functions of this card?" qin Mo asked.

"If you have placed the card at your side before you tilt it in front of your mouth, this time stick it straight on your forehead."

Each of them pasted cards on his forehead including Lin Zhu and their faces all changed.

After looking at each other's faces for a while, they restored their previous appearance by unplugging the card that was stuck to their foreheads.

Xika looked at the card in her hand in admiration.

"This card is absolutely amazing. What materials did you make, Brother Lian?"

"Ah, that time there was a shooting star. Before anyone else picks it up, I keep it first. After that I fad and make it into a card, but an excess of one. That excess card is in your hands now."

Xika nodded listening to Lian Minjie's explanation then looked back at the card in her hand.

Huo Bing suddenly spoke.

"Xika, they're coming."

"Damn it!"

Without needing to ask, Xika already knew who Huo Bing meant. It seemed like her hair change was not very useful considering that the snakes could tell her location now.

Xika suddenly stopped and made the other three people look confused.

"What's Xika?" Qin Mo asked with a puzzled face.

"sorry. Maybe it's time we parted ways."

"parted? What are you talking about?" now replace Lian Minjie who asked with her forehead wrinkled.

Before Xika could answer, the snakes had come from the southwest with various sizes and types.

"In short, these snakes are after me. You guys just go. I will hold these snakes back" Xika said as she turned her body and prepared to fight.

The double!

A hand landed on Xika's head. Then two other hands followed him.

The double!

The double!

"This child..you intend to do something crazy again? Even if you are Mad Xing, I will not let you do anything crazy myself" Lin Zhu said as he walked forward and took a parallel position with Xika.

"You don't know that Silly Lin is constantly urging us to look for new members just because of the excess cards? And now that we've got the fourth, you think we're just gonna take it off?" said Lian Minjie who also walked forward and took a position next to Lin Zhu.

"You've entered the Stellar Joker. Once inside can't get out. Even if you want, you can't get out."

Qin Mo patted Xika on the shoulder after speaking.

But Xika and the other two people looked at Qin Mo in confusion.

"Stellar Jokers?"

"What's the name of our group?"

"Yes, right. Previously we had no name. In this case, spreading influence will also be difficult. So I decided to make a name. Our identity cards are forged from stars and star images. Stars are often called stellar."

"Then why the joker?"

"Usually, in a deck there will always be a joker. There are two, there are four. I think of the four of us as jokers. And be the Stellar Joker."

"A really stupid idea. But the name isn't bad either."

By the time they finished talking, they were already surrounded by snakes.

Suddenly, the snakes moved away as if opening a path. And from the midst of the group of serpents came a great serpent with a strange pattern. Xika did not know what kind of snake it was because there was nothing in the book she read.

They no longer talk. Everyone could feel the pressure the snake exerted. It was roughly a snake at the Black 1 level that was equivalent to a Royal Jack stage cultivator. None of them reached that level. The snake gave off a cold aura that frightened the enemy, but all Xika felt was the warmth in her heart when they all did not turn around to leave her, but instead faced danger together.

The big snake that seemed to be the leader of the group of snakes looked at Xika and Xika stared back at him.

"Huo Bing, if it's like this, what can you do, right?"

Suddenly they heard a voice.

"Yes, it's already been."

Then along with the disappearance of the voice, there appeared a figure of a two-colored bird with a beautiful crown on its head with its entire body divided into two colors.

The other three people took a few steps back staring at the huge bird.

"Sorry to hide it from you. Once this is over, I'll explain it to you."

The others nodded and advanced to get back on par with Xika.

Huo Bing with the strange big snake looked at each other.

Then Huo Bing immediately flew away darting and carried the flying snake.

Along with Huo Bing's flight, the other snakes began to move forward, as did the Stellar Joker.

But before Huo Bing flew, he whispered something to Xika.

"I'll hold him. Look for opportunities to escape and run as far away as possible."

Xika immediately sent voice messages to the other three people and asked them to focus on opening the way.

Then Lin Zhu came forward lunging with his burning fire sword. He made a wave-shaped slash from the fire then shouted,

"Lian Weird!"

The shout was answered by Lian Minjie with a considerable wind.

The wind made Lin Zhu's flames even bigger and created a firestorm that attracted the surrounding creatures.

Some of the less fortunate snakes were sucked in the wind and burned to death inside.

The other snakes immediately stayed away from the firestorm.

Xika looked at each other with the other three members and had the same thoughts.

'Now it's time.'

The four of them kicked the ground and immediately darted away leaving behind the snakes who were still afraid of their artificial firestorm.

Several hundred meters away from the snakes that were running from the firestorm, Huo Bing was fighting with the strange snake.

Huo Bing looked superior in that fight. He managed to injure the snake so that his body was now full of wounds, while Huo Bing looked still fine.

Then Huo Bing heard Xika's voice.

"Huo Bing, come on! We're running away. You hurry too."

Huo Bing's body started to disappear.

"Where are you fucking going!"

The snake immediately advanced and was about to bite Huo Bing without caring about his injuries.

But Huo Bing had already disappeared.

"Dialannnnnnnnn!!!!!! You killed my parents in front of my eyes, I'm not letting you go! I'll kill you!!!!!!" the snake shouted that was filled with frustration.

Huo Bing disappeared in front of the snake and reappeared above the fleeing Xika.

He caught the four with his claws and then raised them above his body.

"Uwahhh....What are you really?" asked Lin Zhu curiously while stabbing Huo Bing's body with his finger.

"Be quiet Lin is Silly!"

"U-uwahhhh.....Where do you know my nickname?" asked Lin Zhu with a surprised face.

While Lian Minjie and Qin Mo were smiling at Huo Bing's words.

"It looks like this bird will suit us."

"Agreed."

Then they looked at Xika and Xika knew the meaning of their gaze.

"Well.....Brother Lin, Brother Qin, Brother Lian, this is Huo Bing. Huo Bing, the one who was poking your fur was Brother Lin Zhu, the one who was sitting on the edge of your body was Brother Qin Mo, and the one who was in front of me was Brother Lian Minjie. Well, you can't see it anyway."

"I know." Huo Bing replied.

"Damn it, at least pretend you don't know or are surprised" Xika said as she struck Huo Bing's shoulder.

And the two brothers again argued after a long time.

The other three people simply stared at the debate silently. Usually Xika who was watching them argue, now replace those who were watching Xika argue.

After arguing for a while, Qin Mo asked.

"Anu.....how do you know each other? And ehh.....Huo Bing's? What are you?"

Qin Mo was silent for a moment at a loss as to how to summon Huo Bing.

"Well...I'm this..you just explain, Xika."

"She. Like haunted cities that are haunted, he is one of them." said Xika with a relaxed face.

Lian Minjie looked at Huo Bing with shocked eyes, Qin Mo directly held onto Huo Bing's fur tightly, afraid he disappeared abruptly and knocked them down, Qin Mo immediately held onto Huo Bing's fur tightly, afraid that he would suddenly disappear, while Lin Zhu instead leaned over his body as he was interested in the conversation.

"Damn it! Give the right explanation. Ah, nevermind. Let me just."

"Well, I'm some kind of spirit. My body is dead, but my spirit has not disappeared. I ate another animal's spirit to defend myself."

"Did Xika help you get those spirits?"

"Well."

Then Huo Bing slowed down and finally descended.

The four people on it also descended as they were already close to their destination city. It would cause a stir if they reached the city still with Huo Bing flying.

When Xika landed, a small creature came out from under her cloak.
