Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1064: Chapter 852: Exploration

In the central region between north and south, before a mountain range where star beasts roam.

A space gate opened, and three figures stepped out from within.

All three wore similar black cloaks, but the patterns on them depicted three holy beasts: the Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and Qilin.

These three were naturally Su Yuan, Tian Hui, and Gongsun Wu, who had come from Great Flame.

Su Yuan took out the Sky Patrol Black Card and checked the map: ”We’ve arrived at Gora Mountain Range, my friends.”

Tian Hui and Gongsun Wu both looked up at the densely vegetated mountain peaks ahead.

In the central region, Star Power is not considered low, but various terrains such as volcanoes, inner seas, and ice fields, unfriendly to ordinary people, divide the vast central region, making it difficult to form any large-scale powers.

The forces here are mostly small nations or those that use cities as their base.

Gora Mountain Range is near the Yunxi Domain to the south, along with Huo Luo Country and You Man Forest.

There are also two small king-level countries and several cities established by Star Card Masters around.

The people of these small countries and cities primarily rely on Gora Mountain Range as their main resource.

So when Su Yuan and the others arrived, they also encountered two or three groups of Star Card Masters living nearby.

Tian Hui exclaimed, ”The Space Gate of Third Rank Su is so convenient, worthy of a Space Star Card Master!”

While others can also embed Space Gates, without the space talent bonus, the gap becomes more apparent as time goes on.

Tian Hui flipped his hand and took out a Bronze Compass, engraved with numerous inscriptions, a needle and many data presented on it. This is the Bronze Earth Guide Plate used to detect Earth Qi and Star Vein changes.

Seeing this, Su Yuan said, ”Let’s split up and investigate, but don’t go too far. If you have any news, contact each other immediately.”

”Alright.”

”No problem.”

The two had no objections and agreed immediately.

Gongsun Wu naturally wouldn’t refuse, having just been defeated by Su Yuan not long ago.

And Tian Hui already knew that when exploring the Grey Realm, Su Yuan killed several Burning Sun level experts and consecutively defeated three sect experts.

Along the way, the three had already vaguely regarded Su Yuan as their leader.

After a brief exchange, the three split towards different directions into the Gora Mountain Range.

The Bronze Earth Guide Plate is most sensitive when close to the ground.

Su Yuan landed back on the ground, advancing quickly, checking the changes in the Azure Dragon Earth Attraction Plate at intervals.

However, detecting changes in Earth Qi is not that easy.

Even though the internal department inferred that there might be changes in Earth Qi here, whether this is right or not, or if the timing is correct, is hard to predict.

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

Sword Qi swept through, slicing in half a camouflaged gecko that dared to launch a surprise attack in midair.

The gecko struggled to regenerate its tail, but in an instant, two more Sword Qi flew and tore it completely apart.

Ruan Ruan hopped and jumped, collecting the star core for Su Yuan first.

Su Yuan took out the Azure Dragon Earth Attraction Plate once more to take a look.

”Earth Qi is indeed gradually increasing, and the change in Star Power concentration is also quite apparent.

However, it might just be influenced by the great trend, or perhaps it’s just at the star vein levels of tiger, wolf, or dog—just this alone is far from sufficient...”

While Su Yuan was contemplating, he suddenly sensed something, expanded Far-Sighted, and looked ahead—a middle-aged man was fleeing in panic from up front.

Behind him, a group of Wind Soaring Leopards with wind wings was in pursuit, among them even four at the Radiant Moon Level!

The middle-aged man himself was only at the Waning Moon Stage, unable to withstand so many Wind Soaring Leopards chasing him.

”Did he stir up a Wind Soaring Leopard nest?” Su Yuan withdrew his gaze.

Soon after, the middle-aged man appeared within Su Yuan’s field of vision.

Seeing Su Yuan standing in front, the middle-aged man shouted loudly, ”Friend, run quickly!”

Su Yuan remained calm, naturally having no reason to give way to a bunch of Radiant Moon Star Beasts.

In an instant, the middle-aged man had swept close to Su Yuan, seeing him still unmoving, he urgently said, ”Run! There’s a group of Wind Soaring Leopards behind us!”

Saying this, the middle-aged man reached out to pull Su Yuan, but strangely couldn’t even touch him.

The middle-aged man was taken aback.

At that moment, from afar, the fierce wind surged, trees snapped, and several Radiant Moon Level Wind Soaring Leopards were already flying over.

”Not good!”

The middle-aged man was shocked and, without heeding Su Yuan anymore, fled into the distance after a shout.

”Still a warm-hearted person.”

Su Yuan chuckled, raised his hand towards the Wind Soaring Leopards, and Undead Evil Fire danced at his fingertips.

”Gray Flame·Evil Fire.”

Black flames shot like lightning, hitting the first Radiant Moon Wind Soaring Leopard, twisting multiple times, instantly piercing all the Radiant Moon level Wind Soaring Leopards.

The middle-aged man hadn’t fled far, intending to look back and see if Su Yuan had escaped, only to witness all the Wind Soaring Leopards being wiped out with a flick!

The middle-aged man widened his eyes, immediately realizing that Su Yuan was a master.

At that moment, the middle-aged man’s vision blurred, and suddenly Su Yuan appeared in front of him.

”Hmm?!”

The middle-aged man was so startled that he stepped back a few paces.

Su Yuan smiled and said, ”Don’t be nervous.”

The middle-aged man steadied himself and asked, ”Who might you be...?”

”My surname is Su, I’ve come from Great Flame,” Su Yuan stated.

So he was a master from Great Flame!

The middle-aged man looked at Su Yuan, his outfit indeed very reminiscent of the Great Flame style.

Though he rarely left Rock Lizard Country, there were many who ventured to Huo Luo Country and Great Flame.

”Greetings, Lord Su, I am Mu Mo from Rock Lizard Country!” the middle-aged man said respectfully while cupping his hands in salute.

Su Yuan nodded, looking at Mu Mo’s clothes stained with star beast blood, and asked, ”Have you been in the Gora Mountain Range recently?”

Mu Mo nodded, ”That’s right, we people from Rock Lizard Country often come here to hunt. This time we’ve been in the Gora Mountain Range for over forty days already.”

”By the way...” Mu Mo hesitated for a moment, then took out two star cores, ”Thank you, my lord, for your assistance. Let these two star cores be our gift of gratitude!”

Su Yuan chuckled silently, thinking it rare to encounter someone with such a sincere spirit, for it wasn’t easy to hunt down two star cores with his strength.

What a place to find someone so pure-hearted.

Su Yuan said, ”There’s no need for the star cores. I just have a few questions. When you said ’we,’ do you mean there are more of you?”

At this, Mu Mo seemed to recall something and sighed.

”Report to my lord, we originally had three people, including one at Full Moon Level.

But these days, for some reason, the star beasts in the Gora Mountain Range seem to be much more active than before.

Previously, we encountered a large flock of ground birds that scattered us.

Now, the star beast distribution inside the Gora Mountain Range is in chaos, completely different from before.

I was just trying to find them when I encountered this group of Wind Soaring Leopards!”

Worry flickered across Mu Mo’s face, uncertain about his companions’ current situation.

Su Yuan’s eyes shifted slightly, and he immediately asked, ”Could you take me to where you mentioned earlier?”

Mu Mo pondered for a while. The Gora Mountain Range is so dangerous now, he was actually planning to retreat first.

He thought his two companions would do the same, and since they were together, they should be safer.

However, considering Su Yuan’s power and the fact that he just helped him...

”No problem, Lord Su, I’ll take you there!” Mu Mo thought it over and agreed.

Su Yuan smiled, ”Good.”

Mu Mo led Su Yuan forward cautiously.

Seeing Mu Mo’s cautious demeanor, Su Yuan smiled and said, ”Just lead the way boldly. I’ll handle any star beasts on the road.”

Although the aura wasn’t too obvious, Mu Mo could tell that Su Yuan was quite the expert.

Hearing Su Yuan’s assurance, Mu Mo immediately unleashed his movement technique, sprinting at full speed, while Su Yuan shadowed him closely...

”Roar!”

Just moments after they started, a Full Moon Level Flame Sun Lion burst out from the woods ahead, spewing a yard-wide pillar of red flame.

Mu Mo shivered, quickly hiding behind Su Yuan.

But the flame column stopped dead in its tracks just in front of Su Yuan, unable to advance another step.

Su Yuan raised his hand, a black spark flickered to life, ”Burn it all.”

The spark flew onto the flame column, and the surging black fire instantly devoured the red flame, burning forward along the pillar. Within two breaths, it reached the Flame Sun Lion, reducing it to ash under its terrified gaze, fiercely dominating!

”So powerful, definitely Burning Sun level!”

Mu Mo’s heart trembled. That Flame Sun Lion was an Epic Star Beast at the Full Moon Level, which he and his two companions might barely handle together!

While he had speculated that Su Yuan might be a super expert, it now seemed he was most likely Burning Sun Level.

”Let’s keep moving,” Su Yuan glanced at Mu Mo.

”Mm... yes!”

Knowing Su Yuan was a Burning Sun expert, Mu Mo felt no further worries.

Mu Mo was quite familiar with the Gora Mountain Range; at least in this area, there were basically no Burning Sun Star Beasts.

Two days later, Su Yuan and Mu Mo arrived at the top of a mountain before a basin.

”It’s just ahead!”

Mu Mo immediately leaped forward, leading Su Yuan over the mountain top.

But at the next moment, upon seeing the scene before him, Mu Mo’s face turned grim.

He saw a vast swath of forest below them, littered with star beast corpses scattered all over the place!

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed at the sight. He immediately used All-Knowing Vision to look further into the distance.

As far as the eye could see, there were hundreds of star beast corpses from various species strewn along the way, as if a massacre had occurred.

A silver light flashed on Su Yuan, instantly teleporting him to a spot before the corpses of some ground birds.

”The wounds are caused by wind energy arrows, not deep. The person who caused them should have strength around Radiant Moon.”

Su Yuan looked up to see that the wounds on these ground birds varied, with damages from wind arrows, sword wounds, knife wounds, and fire element burns... It looked like the work of a group of people.

”A large-scale organized slaughter, and they’re all upper-level experts. Could it be an incursion by some nation’s military?”

Su Yuan pondered, a tangible brilliance flashing in his eyes. Activating One Heart Dustless, he absorbed all traces from the surroundings, beginning to reconstruct.

The wounds, the cuts on trees, the marks on the ground... a massive amount of information processed within his mind.

After a while, Su Yuan’s eyes focused, looking deeper into the forest.

”Nearly a hundred people killed their way through...”

At this point, Mu Mo also arrived beside Su Yuan, shocked as he looked at the star beast corpses of the ground birds.

”These were the ground birds that attacked us earlier. How did they all end up dead? What on earth happened here!”

Su Yuan said, ”It seems there’s indeed an organized group of Star Card Masters.”

Flipping his hand to retrieve the Bronze Earth Guide Plate, Su Yuan carefully examined the ground.

At that moment, the previously stable data on the guide plate suddenly fluctuated intensely.
