Strange Cards

Chapter 395 Half-Step Natural Disaster

The three hunters exchanged glances, but still resolutely chose to go inside.

During the accelerated period, the speed of any object becomes abnormally fast. Even a leaf blown by the wind becomes like a sharp blade, capable of cutting through the air.

Meanwhile, the two piloting the Hunter mechs outside were probing the situation inside, while Guan Yun and Yan Yun were piloting the Sky Patrol in the air.

Guan Yun looked at the abnormally fast-moving objects inside, captured a minute of footage, slowed down time by sixty times, and then discovered something extremely terrifying.

Seeing this, Guan Yun dared not be careless and quickly contacted Qi Wu and the other two.

"Boss! You guys go back the way you came right now!"

"Time in this mountain range has been accelerated by unknown creatures; an hour has been compressed into a minute."

"If you stay inside, you're very likely to be assimilated. When you come out, one minute outside will feel like an hour to you."

Qi Wu glanced at Da Niu and Yu Yan, and finally gave up on advancing and retreated.

"Guan Yun, is there any way to solve this?"

"Don't the hunters have time-travel technology?"

Guan Yun looked through the time-related technologies and shook his head heavily.

"Those time-related technologies can only be used on inanimate objects; they would be fatal to organic beings like humans."

"The premise of controlling time is to compress time at a speed that surpasses time itself; under that level of pressure, the human body would be instantly crushed into a meat patty."

"The God Hunter bullets are treated with special materials; the human body can't withstand them."

"Boss, do you know who's in these mountains?"

"Your tone wasn't panicked."

Qi Wu looked at the mountain range and nodded heavily.

"A person who can manage time."

"Besides Xiaoyu who has the Ten of Spades, I can't think of anyone else who has this ability."

"Guan Yun, bring Yu Yan up with you to pilot the same Hunter God mech."

"Da Niu and I will go back and bring another one over. Three Hunter God mechs should be enough to stop them."

"clear."

……

The five otherworldly beings, seeing the humanoid Cerberus surrounded in the middle, all drew their weapons.

Chun took out the sickle and grinned maliciously.

"You bastard, run away!"

"No matter how much you scream, no one will save you!"

As Chun spoke, she rushed forward, while Ye Xue, seeing Chun's recklessness, shouted angrily.

"Hey, you idiot!"

"Don't rush forward like a reckless fool!"

As Ye Xue spoke, she joined the battle in the next moment, and Cang Li quickly followed suit.

Gu Nian and Shi Yu stood together, looking at the three-headed hellhound being attacked by the three of them.

"Aren't you going to go up and help?"

"Your transformation items are all ready."

Shi Yu looked at the small book and the Sin Sword in her hand and shook her head.

"I don't want to use too much force."

"I am different from you. You are still human, but I have become a ghost."

"Using force can cause me to lose control of my emotions, which is very serious. In such situations, I risk going berserk."

"Therefore, I will not transform and participate in battle unless absolutely necessary."

"That's true."

"Thanks a lot."

As Gu Nian spoke, he drew the Mortal Blade. Shi Yu looked at the scarlet longsword and frowned as she felt the aura on it that displeased her.

Gu Nian rushed forward in the next moment, and then a net of scarlet blade light slashed at Cerberus at an extremely tricky angle.

Shigure looked at this accelerated world, and at Cerberus, who had been assimilated by the accelerated time, and adjusted Cerberus's time back to normal mode.

From Cerberus's perspective, the four men's attacks were incredibly fast, with hundreds of wounds appearing on their bodies almost instantly.

Sparks flew from the armor on Cerberus's body as it was hit, and soon the armor was blown apart, revealing the blank card.

Shiyu raised her hand and pulled the blank card over, then took it in her hand after understanding what it meant.

Just as Cerberus was about to be defeated, Cerberus suddenly went into overdrive and entered a time-accelerated state.

Shi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Under his perception, Cerberus, under the pressure of death, broke through on the spot and took half a step forward.

Although its level is still Earthly Calamity Ghost King, it has already distanced itself from other Earthly Calamity Ghost Kings.

After all, for Cerberus now, taking just half a step forward would make him a Calamity-level Demon King.

"What a hassle."

Shiyu took a step forward, drew his demonic blade, and made a downward slashing motion.

A simple slash appeared, without any burst of energy, just like a normal downward slash during sword practice.

But the next moment, a crack suddenly appeared on Cerberus's forehead, and then the crack spread down along the forehead until it pierced through Cerberus's entire body.

Cerberus was unaware of what was happening, and was still fighting frantically until the moment before his body exploded.

After slaying Cerberus with a single strike, Shigure sheathed his demonic blade, returned the blank card to Gu Nian, deactivated the time acceleration, and turned to leave.

Chun, who was busy and sweating profusely, watched Shiyu fly away and plopped down next to Gu Nian.

"Boss, what's that little gray hair...?"

"Just now, Cerberus forcibly tore open a rift in time and entered a time that was accelerated just like ours."

"And Cerberus also grasped a slight rule related to time at that moment, but that's not the point."

"The key point is that Cerberus took half a step forward under those extreme conditions, and was only half a step away from entering the level of a natural disaster."

"Right now, the only ones at the Calamity level are me, Shigure, and Joker."

"Right now, the three of us are still at a level where we are far behind, but once a Ghost King of equal strength appears, it will be too late."

"He went to collect cards; it should be the remaining three base hunters and the chief hunter Fengchuan."

"Prepare to speed up the script; the next short script is coming soon."

"A script already?"

Gu Nian nodded and looked at the three giant Hunter God mechs standing outside the mountain range.

"During this year's Ghost Gate opening, the Southern Base will lose one Hunter God mech and two Hunters."

"The two hunters held their ground and ultimately perished."

"Those two hunters are Wang Niu and Yu Yan. After they die, it will be the final battle between Shi Yu and Qi Wu."

"I'm really looking forward to a battle between a full set of hearts and a full set of spades."

"By the way, Cang Li, how many strange cards have you collected yet?"

"If we don't count Shigure, there are twenty-seven."
