The once lush forest is now scorched black.
Some ashes were still emitting wisps of smoke, and there was choking smoke everywhere.
At this moment, more than ten soldiers were watching a strange man.
The person was made of flames, sat cross-legged, and had his eyes closed, like an old monk in meditation.
The soldiers weren't afraid; on the contrary, they were filled with excitement, as if they had seen a great treasure.
Here, this kind of monster is called a ghost spirit.
It's not common, but it's not rare either.
The cards they use each contain one or more unseen spirits. This is why they can unleash a variety of dazzling attacks with their cards.
Captain Sun Yan used his left hand to control a card that floated above the fire spirit's head, while his right hand cast a sealing spell on the fire spirit.
But even after exerting all his strength, and sweat gradually beading on his forehead, it had no effect.
A soldier in his early twenties standing nearby suddenly joked, "Is Captain Sun a little timid? Why don't we give him a try?"
"Hahaha!"
A burst of laughter immediately erupted around them.
Sun Yan took back the card and stopped the sealing. He cursed irritably, "What are you laughing at? When have I ever been afraid? It's just that this ghost is a bit strange. You guys try. Whoever can successfully seal it, I'll apply for a third-class merit for them."
The soldiers were all stunned for a moment before realizing that this eerie spirit was no ordinary creature.
Then everyone took turns trying it, showing great enthusiasm.
Unfortunately, all attempts failed, and no one could seal it away.
Sun Yan's expression was serious. "This might be a special spiritual entity. It seems we need to report it to the military and send a group of experts over."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a burst of energy emanated from the fire-man's body, shooting skyward and creating a black hole in the sky.
The dozen or so soldiers around him were all sent flying backward, spitting blood, and each of them was seriously injured.
At this moment, the fire-man slowly opened his eyes, and his aura gradually subsided.
"What a pity, just a little short!"
Xia Tianqiong murmured, her tone full of regret.
He pushed his newly comprehended Dao to its limit, feeling that he could reach an even higher level, as if he was just a tiny bit short.
But it's impossible to do it no matter what.
There was a sudden realization in my heart that perhaps my true spirit was not complete at the moment, which limited my talent and also limited my potential.
Otherwise, he might directly break through to the position of the Deity of Demons.
Right now, he's at most at the level of a half-step god of war.
He sighed softly, then looked around and saw soldiers in camouflage getting up from the ground in a disheveled state, looking at him with shocked eyes.
What's wrong with you?
The soldiers were even more astonished when Xia Tianqiong said this.
Sun Yan called directly into the communication headset, "A special kind of ghost has been discovered in Qiulun Mountain. It seems to possess intelligence. Requesting support from the Card Master team."
As he spoke, he made tactical hand signals, and the other soldiers immediately took out their cards, their expressions wary as they slowly retreated.
They all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Xia Tianqiong was speechless; it seemed that he was being treated like a monster.
Without further ado, he raised his hand towards Sun Yan, and with a grab in the air, Sun Yan was directly grabbed by an invisible force and flew over.
A gasp of surprise immediately rang out from the surrounding crowd.
"Quickly, save the captain!"
"Attack with all forces, but be careful to avoid Captain Sun."
In an instant, more than a dozen soldiers manipulated the cards in their hands, releasing a series of dazzling attacks, all of which were thrown at Xia Tianqiong.
Xia Tianqiong looked up and felt a little strange.
These attacks are similar to trickery, but not quite the same.
It contained a strange power, somewhat like the power of the underworld, but also different; he had never seen this power before.
He did not dodge, letting all kinds of water arrows, wooden spikes, ice cones, and gales hit him.
A series of crackling and clanging noises!
Both the scale and the visual effects were quite impressive.
The soldiers watched with expectant eyes, but when the attack ended, Xia Tianqiong was sitting there unharmed, without any problems whatsoever.
For him, it was like scratching an itch.
However, after careful observation, I realized that such an attack could cause considerable damage if it hit Li Gui.
"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask a few questions."
Xia Tianqiong spoke again, and the soldiers who had been stunned finally slowly put down the cards in their hands.
They understood that there was no point in taking further action.
At this moment, Sun Yan had already been captured and was hovering in front of Xia Tianqiong.
"What do you want to ask? If it involves China's secrets, I wouldn't tell you even if you killed me."
Xia Tianqiong smiled faintly and put Sun Yan on the ground. "Tell me about the basic situation of the world. Just tell me what you can."
Seeing that he was not hostile and was not as brutal as other ghosts, Sun Yan gradually relaxed and began to introduce this world.
Xia Tianqiong listened quietly, occasionally interjecting with a question, and soon gained a basic understanding of this world.
This is a complete human world, with Earth, Moon, and Sun. Even the countries and civilizations on Earth are similar to the human world he came from.
It feels like a parallel world, the whole is the same, but the details are different.
Interestingly, the world was once invaded by a mysterious force, which caused a kind of spirit to frequently emerge in various parts of the world, which they called ghost spirits.
This kind of evil spirit is quite violent and bloodthirsty, and once brought about the destruction of the entire world.
Fortunately, someone created a sealing technique that can seal the evil spirits inside cards, and then use the cards to unleash various magical attacks.
From then on, they escaped the catastrophe, human civilization flourished again, and the art of sealing was greatly developed.
