Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 629: Chapter 498 Nuo River

Mo Fei had successfully refined the True Spirit Blood. Su Yuan came out from the Qingming Realm.

Looking forward, a boundless Black River stretched ahead, with black smoke curling around, filled with an inexplicable fluctuation.

“Ashley, is it in this direction?” Su Yuan asked in a low voice.

Ashley behind him nodded: “That’s right, boss.”

In the past few days, Su Yuan had crossed Hidden Dragon Mountain and traveled west to this place smoothly.

Although he encountered a few people without eyes along the way, they were all directly captured by Su Yuan and thrown into the Qingming Realm to be used as firewood for hatching the Flame Dragon in the Locking Yang Pond.

“Good.” Su Yuan waved his hand to summon back Ashley. With a few steps, he arrived at the Black River.

With a silver gleam in his eyes, Su Yuan activated the All-Knowing Vision.

However, the vision was blocked by the rising black smoke, and even with the All-Knowing Vision’s X-ray ability, he couldn’t see far.

As for the Black River, it was like a pool of stagnant water. It was not only calm but also impossible to see through.

Su Yuan frowned slightly: “This Black River is indeed strange.”

The map given by Xiong Tiezhu only covered the area around Feather Country, which was no longer useful at this moment.

Su Yuan followed Ashley’s guidance all the way. The direction was correct, but the lack of a map inevitably led to such forbidden zone obstacles.

Su Yuan pondered for a moment, then used Far-Sighted Vision to scan the surroundings. Soon, he saw a Gold Level Black-eyed Falcon circling in the distance.

With a flash of silver light around him, Su Yuan appeared in front of the Black-eyed Falcon and grabbed it.

The Black-eyed Falcon was startled, unable to react.

The next moment, Su Yuan flashed back to the riverside and threw the Black-eyed Falcon towards the river with a slight force.

“Chirp?!”

The Black-eyed Falcon suddenly let out a terrified scream, flapping its wings desperately, trying to return.

But in just a second, the Black-eyed Falcon was engulfed by the rising black smoke from the Black River.

The Black-eyed Falcon trembled all over, flapped its wings a few more times, but couldn’t move anymore. It fell straight towards the water and disappeared into the dark river with a “splash,” without causing a ripple.

“Even Gold Level star beasts are completely powerless…” Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Ruan Ruan on his shoulder was eager to try: “Puchi Puchi (Master, let me try)!”

Ruan Ruan was a Water Element Star Beast with the Devouring Law. It shouldn’t be a problem to try with a clone.

Su Yuan thought for a moment and nodded: “Alright, go ahead.”

Ruan Ruan leaped off Su Yuan’s shoulder and turned into two slimes.

One of them transformed into a Golden Winged Thunder Roc and leaped out.

Like the Black-eyed Falcon, the surrounding black smoke immediately enveloped Ruan Ruan.

The Golden Winged Thunder Roc, which Ruan Ruan had turned into, had devouring black light flowing around it, swallowing all the black smoke and continuing to move forward.

However, as it went deeper, the black smoke on the Black River became denser, and gradually, even the Devouring Law became strained.

Ruan Ruan gritted its teeth, and the thunder light on its body flourished, making constant “zila” sounds, finally charging forward in an attempt to see how wide the Black River was.

But it didn’t take long before the surging black smoke invaded its body, causing it to fall diagonally into the Black River…

“Ugh!”

On the shore, Ruan Ruan groaned, its spherical body suddenly went limp on the ground, its breath plummeted, obviously suffering from backlash.

Su Yuan quickly held it in his arms.

“How are you, Ruan Ruan?”

“Nothing… serious.” Ruan Ruan steadied itself in Su Yuan’s arms, rested for a while, and said slowly, “Master, the deeper I went, the denser the black smoke became. My power of devouring couldn’t keep up… Also, I didn’t see the other side of the river.”

“Mm.” Su Yuan nodded, stroking Ruan Ruan’s head for a while, “Good job. Rest and recover now.”

“Puchi Puchi!”

Su Yuan put Ruan Ruan into his Spiritual Space and then looked at the Black River ahead, pondering.

Did he really have to detour?

Su Yuan looked into the distance along the riverbank, where there was a city.

“Let’s go take a look. Since it’s a riverside city, there should be a way to cross the river.”

With a slight movement, Su Yuan flew towards the city…

This city was neither big nor small, but it was bustling with activity. Most of the people coming and going were Star Card Masters.

As soon as Su Yuan entered the city, he felt several strong auras at the Shining Star Level.

As he extended his perception, he even vaguely sensed auras far stronger than the Shining Star Level… Radiant Moon!

Just as Su Yuan entered, he noticed several gazes falling on him.

Su Yuan looked up to see a few Bronze Level youths at the city edge staring at him from a distance.

However, as Su Yuan looked up, the youths seemed intimidated by his bright silver pupils and quickly looked away.

Soon, one of them, a yellowish-faced young man, looked up again with some hesitation and ran towards Su Yuan a few steps.

The young man said nervously: “Hello, sir! I’m Qin Song, a native of Nuo City.”

“You seem to be new here, can I be your guide… I’m very cheap, just 15… no, 10 Cent Star Stones.”

10 Cent Star Stones, roughly equivalent to the price of one or two Bronze Level Star Cores, wasn’t expensive.

“Why, are you afraid of me?” Su Yuan asked curiously.

Qin Song lowered his head and replied: “It’s just that your… your eyes, feel very powerful.”

Powerful, huh?

Su Yuan smiled, didn’t say more. He took out 5 Cent Star Stones and handed them to Qin Song: “Here are 5 Cent Star Stones first. I’ll give you the rest when it’s done.”

“Okay… okay!” Qin Song’s eyes lit up, and he carefully took the Star Stones.

Su Yuan said: “Let’s just walk around first. Tell me about this place, especially the Black River outside.”

“Yes!” Qin Song led Su Yuan forward, quickly explaining.

It turned out that the Black River outside was called “Nuo River,” said to flow from the Southernmost Land.

Once engulfed by the black smoke on the river, one’s body would become weak, and Star Power would be as difficult to mobilize as in a quagmire until one fell into the river.

The closer to the center of the river, the denser the black smoke, even Radiant Moon Level cannot pass through.

However, if the water from the Nuo River was taken out, it was no different from ordinary river water, very strange.

To cross the Nuo River smoothly, a boat made from the Black Nuo Tree, growing along the Nuo River, was required.

Passing the Nuo River meant entering the southern region from the southeastern edge.

Therefore, to save time, many people crossed the river from Nuo City, making it a considerable small city in this region.

Currently, the City Lord and even the Deputy City Lord of Nuo City were Radiant Moon Level masters.

Qin Song said: “Sir, if you want to take the Nuo River boat, you have to go to the Nuo City dock in the west of the city.”

Su Yuan nodded: “Then just take me there directly.”

“Yes!”
