Chapter 34 [Bodhi Grass]

"Hurry up!" Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the [ bodhi grass ] suddenly erupted in pale golden flames. As if experiencing a momentary resurgence of vitality, he looked up at the ceiling with dazed eyes and muttered to himself:

"I shouldn't have touched Him. What is the meaning of my existence? I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the pale golden flames engulfed him, eventually turning him into ash. Two items dropped from within. Seeing there was no danger, Zhang Fei stepped forward to pick them up and brought them back to Gu Ye. Gu Ye handed the blood core among them to Third Mother Li.

"Thank you!"

After Third Mother Li finished consuming the blood core, the four of them looked at the card-making materials in Gu Ye's hand—a flower glowing with golden light, which had turned into a card after prolonged contact with spiritual energy.

[ bodhi grass ]

Quality: [ Blue ]

Description: A weed from the Ghost Buddha Domain, possessing a trace of Buddhahood; not edible.

This was the trashiest blue card creation material Gu Ye had ever seen. He turned to the others and asked, "Do you guys want it?"

Yan Shuangling and the other two shook their heads, indicating it was too trashy and they didn't want it, while Third Mother Li indicated that getting the blood core was enough for her.

Seeing no one wanted it, Gu Ye casually put the card into his storage space, calculating in his heart: "I'll try Refinement when I get back; maybe it'll drop something good from the Ghost Buddha Domain. It's better than nothing."

"This is the manager's room; should we look around and see if there's anything good?"

The group split up and started searching the manager's office, quickly making their own gains. Yan Shuangling found a full set of armor, Ye Suxuan dug out three strange gemstones, Chu Ling obtained a pile of monster bones, Third Mother Li found a dagger and a pair of women's shoes, and Gu Ye took a red cotton jacket and a crown.

After everything turned into cards, there wasn't a single card-making material below blue quality. The group returned to the living room with satisfied smiles.

Gu Ye took out a stack of documents and said:

"I found this in the study. After understanding it, the head chef's room opposite is locked, and the key is with the head chef, Larson.

You all know Larson's aura from yesterday, right? He is clearly a Silver-level Monster. What do you all say?"

"Let's do it! We got so many blue card creation materials just from this manager's room. As another room for a high-level manager of the restaurant, there must be plenty of good things," Chu Ling said with an excited face.

Others agreed. Seeing this, Gu Ye also nodded:

"The last piece of information I got is that the room in the middle is His."

Third Mother Li stated her long-held suspicion: "The Card Domain rules."

Gu Ye nodded silently. None of them were fools; from Yuri's diary and the current state of the Card Domain, they could all guess that He was the Card Domain rules.

"Since we can't get into those two rooms, sitting here is useless. Why don't we go to the cooking area and get involved?" Chu Ling said with malicious intent.

"Let's go!" Gu Ye also wanted to see if he could reap the benefits as a third party. After all, Larson was a Silver-level Monster; if they could slaughter him, it might drop some good things.

...

"Yuri, without those two knives, you're just a piece of trash!" Soyer waved one hand, and a blazing fireball whistled out, carrying scorching wind as it smashed fiercely toward Yuri. His face was full of twisted pleasure; his hatred for Yuri had long been deep in his bones, and simply killing the other party was not enough to vent it.

Yuri dodged in a sorry state. The fireball hit the kitchenware rack behind him, exploding with a "boom" and sending fragments flying. Having lost his kitchen knives, his combat power was greatly reduced. He could only defend passively, and his body was already scorched in many places by the flames, making him wince in pain.

On the other side, "End the battle!" Larson swung his chains with both hands, tightly binding Kassian and Samus. Their faces were ugly; they didn't expect that even though Larson had been heavily injured, neither of them could beat him.

"Goodbye, Samus." Larson's voice was cold. The chains binding the two kept tightening, just as they felt death approaching.

"Clang...!"

A brilliant blade light suddenly cut through the air, precisely severing the chains. Three figures walked into the cooking area. Ding Ning looked distressed:

"Cousin, to save those two, I used a rare blue magic card. You have to reimburse me when we go out."

"Fine!"

Kassian looked at Xu Yuanmo angrily, but in the end, perhaps thinking of something, he gave up questioning him.

"Kill him first, then solve the [ Can Shi Peach Tree ] later to get the [ can core ]." Xu Yuanmo's expression was greedy. He was determined to get Larson's card-making materials; they might contain [ the last meal ].

A great battle was imminent...

Gu Ye and the others arrived at the outskirts of the kitchen cooking area and saw the tree people and the [ Claw-Suspended Person ] fighting in a chaotic mess. Some monster corpses still had card-making materials lying on them.

Gu Ye's eyes lit up; this was all money. Hearing the intense sound of battle from the core position of the cooking area, Gu Ye understood that now was the time for them to act.

"Do you need the card-making materials from these monsters on the outskirts?" Gu Ye looked at the group and asked.

Yan Shuangling and the other two were not interested, only Third Mother Li wanted them.

"Then wait a few minutes for us; we'll finish killing them soon." Zhang Fei's suppression of group monsters was extraordinary. What Gu Ye didn't expect was that Third Mother Li was also a Battle Card Master. The two joined forces and cleared all the monsters in a few minutes. After the two divided the card-making materials, the group walked toward the core area.

"This Silver-level Monster is really f*cking perverted; it's still so powerful even when injured." Xu Yuanmo took out a bottle of energy drink and drank it, recovered his spiritual energy, and directed the [ Jade-Faced Grenade King ] to continue the attack.

"Pfft~" Luo the Third spat out a mouthful of blood. His card [ Jade Scorpion ] was directly whipped to death by Larson's chain, and he also suffered a backlash.

Xu Yuanmo looked at him with contempt: "Trash!"

Under the siege of several people, Larson was also at the end of his rope. Soyer's apprentice had already died under the siege of Luo the Third and Ding Ning.

"Damn guys, stay and accompany the restaurant!" The eyeballs on Larson's tentacles fell off one after another, turning into a wall, staring fixedly at them. Beams of terrifying energy shot out from it, and Xu Yuanmo and the others had nowhere to hide.

"Not good!" Xu Yuanmo and Ding Ning's expressions changed drastically, and they simultaneously took out a defensive card to activate it. A light blue shield instantly expanded, enveloping the two; Xu Yuanmo didn't forget to summon the [ Jade-Faced Grenade King ] in front of him as a second shield.

And Luo the Third was quick-eyed and nimble-handed; he grabbed Yuri beside him and blocked himself with him tightly.

"You beast!" Yuri roared in terror, but he couldn't break free at all.

"Humans, you will not die well! Ah~!" The shrill scream stopped abruptly. Under the irradiation of the purple laser, Yuri was instantly vaporized, not even leaving a bit of residue.

After the laser dissipated, Larson lay on the ground, his breath already gone. Xu Yuanmo's eyes were excited, and he ordered the [ Jade-Faced Grenade King ] to go forward and loot the corpse.

Gu Ye and the others, who were hiding in the dark, saw that the time was ripe and wanted to make a move to snatch it. Xu Yuanmo had long sensed their existence. Seeing this, the corners of his mouth curled into a strange smile. Not only did he not stop them, but he quickly retreated with Ding Ning.

The ceiling of the entire cooking area shook violently. Yan Shuangling's [ Zhi Wei ] immediately collected the information, and she hurriedly shouted:

"Retreat quickly!"

But it was too late. Gu Ye immediately used the bloodline card [ tuanado of gale ].

"tuanado of gale, the power to pierce the wild gale."

"Merge!"

[ Hurricane Void Instant Movement Technique ]!

Gu Ye turned into a hurricane, wrapped around the others, and teleported to a safe place, taking the card-making materials along the way.

"Kid, your grandpa is here. Can we start now?"

The huge body of the [ Human Armor Willow Crab ] fell from the ceiling. Then, Xu Yuanmo watched with a livid face as it waved its huge pincers, skewered Kassian and Luo the Third into a twist, and swallowed them in one bite. Its two missing crab legs grew back as a result.

[ Human Armor Willow Crab ] saw his bad expression, was afraid of affecting the subsequent plan, and comforted him:

"These are just three pieces of trash; what's the use of keeping them? It's better to let them restore my strength so I can implement the later plans." Hearing it say this, Xu Yuanmo's face improved slightly.

Samus, however, frowned. Although he and Kassian and the other chefs didn't have much friendship, after all, they had worked together for so many years. Watching them die in front of him, he still had some thoughts in his heart, but in order to kill Him, he could only put away his dissatisfaction.

"Then let's begin!" Xu Yuanmo narrowed his eyes, calculating something in his heart.

"Haha! I've been waiting for those words." [ Human Armor Willow Crab ] jumped its body, and the people standing in the cooking area couldn't even stand steadily.

"Crack~!" Hearing this sound, the expressions of Gu Ye and the others changed drastically. The ground instantly shattered, and everyone followed the [ Human Armor Willow Crab ] and fell down.
