Chapter 37 Both Ascend to Star Level!
A few minutes later, the vengeful spirit boat slowly landed at the entrance of the Ping An residential area.
Lin Mo jumped out of the cabin, put it away, and then walked into the residential area.
He had only walked a few steps when he suddenly noticed a person leaning against a utility pole ahead.
The man was wearing a drab gray hooded jacket with the brim pulled low, almost obscuring most of his face.
He leaned against the utility pole, motionless, like a puppet.
Lin Mo subconsciously took another look.
The man seemed to sense his gaze and slowly raised his head.
Beneath the brim of the hat was an ordinary face, with sallow skin, high cheekbones, and deeply sunken eye sockets.
His lips slowly curved upwards, and he suddenly smiled at Lin Mo.
I don't know why,
Lin Mo felt a chill run through his body, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
It felt like I was being stared at by some monster, and my heart skipped a beat.
Out of politeness, Lin Mo nodded to the man.
He quickly passed by him and hurried into the residential area.
The feeling of unease only gradually dissipated when I reached my own apartment building.
He glanced back at the direction of the community entrance, but the figure had already disappeared.
"wack."
Lin Mo muttered something under his breath, feeling uneasy.
But then I thought, the people living in Ping'an Community are a mixed bunch anyway.
It's not surprising to occasionally see one or two strange-looking strangers.
It's also possible that the intense practice during this period has caused mental stress.
He shook his head, put the matter aside for the time being, and took the elevator to the fifth floor.
Back home, Lin Mo first took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
He quickly ate something, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began practicing meditation.
After refining Lu Wu yesterday, I received a trace of feedback power.
Although the feedback intensity couldn't compare to the previous two purple cards, it still improved his mental strength to another level.
Lin Mo estimated that he was only one step away from becoming a Black Iron rank expert.
I couldn't resist striking while the iron was hot and striving for a breakthrough as soon as possible.
As the meditation method was practiced, strands of spiritual energy dissipated from the mind and flowed to the limbs and bones.
……
Time passed slowly.
Lin Mo emerged from his meditation at nine o'clock in the evening.
He touched his stomach; he was so hungry that his stomach was practically touching his back.
Too lazy to cook for himself, Lin Mo simply grabbed his keys and went out to find something to eat.
As soon as I got downstairs, I found that the restaurants downstairs in the community were already closed.
Left with no other choice, Lin Mo had to leave the residential area and head towards the nearest Tianhe Night Market.
Tianhe Night Market is one of the top night markets in Nan'an District, extremely lively, and brightly lit even at 3 a.m.
Of course, this is on the premise that there is no aberration intrusion.
Lin Mo walked slowly, took out his earphones from his pocket, and prepared to listen to music.
Suddenly, a dark claw emerged from the nearby bushes.
It swiftly reached for his chest.
Lin Mo was startled and instinctively stepped back, barely dodging the attack of the sharp claws.
At the same time, his mental energy stirred the cards in his mind, summoning Shen Tu and Yu Lei.
A dazzling light shone forth, revealing two towering figures.
They stood guard on either side of Lin Mo.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief and had time to go see the owner of the paw.
It was a monster that looked like a living dead.
Its size was almost the same as that of an adult male, and its face was rotten and infested with maggots.
The eye sockets were deeply sunken, with no eyeballs inside, only two dark, empty holes.
He was wearing dark clothing, and his exposed skin had an unnatural grayish-white hue.
In some places, you can even see the dark red muscle tissue underneath, just like meat on a cutting board in a supermarket.
The monster missed its target and immediately emitted a low, hoarse gurgling sound.
Immediately afterwards, a rustling sound came from the dense forest on both sides.
One, two, three...
Before long, more than a dozen monsters of similar size emerged.
As soon as these monsters appeared, they all let out a low roar.
They trembled and gathered towards Lin Mo's window.
Their movements appeared slow, but were actually swift.
In the blink of an eye, they were already in front of Lin Mo.
"Thirteen..."
Lin Mo counted them roughly, and his expression instantly turned serious.
Subconsciously, he spread his mental energy outwards, trying to sense the spiritual fluctuations emanating from these monsters.
However, the result made his heart sink.
He couldn't sense the level of these monsters at all.
It was as if what stood before them was not a monster that could move, but a corpse that had long since lost all signs of life.
"How is that possible?"
Lin Mo frowned slightly.
Generally speaking, there are only two situations where one cannot sense spiritual fluctuations.
The first reason is that the difference in status between the two parties is too great.
If the difference is more than one major realm, then naturally it is impossible to sense it.
However, judging from the way that monster attacked just now, this possibility is almost non-existent.
Otherwise, he would probably be a corpse by now.
The second possibility is that the other party has items or equipment that can shield them from spiritual fluctuations.
For example, things like breath-collecting cards and shielding rings.
But these things are usually only available to card makers, and these monsters in front of us are clearly not card makers.
Something's not right!
Lin Mo's eyes flickered, his mind extremely tense.
Without time to think it through, he immediately summoned the Mountain Spirit as well.
A beam of light suddenly burst forth on the dimly lit forest path.
The next instant, the mountain spirit gracefully landed in front of Lin Mo.
Almost the instant the mountain spirit appeared, those undead-like monsters roared and charged forward.
The two gatekeepers were the first to launch an attack!
Shen Tu and Yu Lei shouted loudly, and their swords and halberds clashed.
A continuous torrent of golden energy surged from the two generals' bodies, condensing into a dazzling barrier.
In an instant, it enveloped all the undead that had surrounded it.
At the same time, two gilded doors appeared out of thin air, standing in front of Shen Tu and Yu Lei like an insurmountable barrier.
The undead shrouded in the barrier roared in unison, their bodies moving uncontrollably toward the gilded door.
They might bite, kick, scratch, or spit poison arrows...
The methods vary.
The golden light on the gilded door faded at a visible speed.
Seeing this, the two generals clapped their hands together, drawing a circle.
The next instant, a deafening roar resounded.
Suddenly, an enormous black tiger burst forth, leaping forward to tear at the living dead at the front.
With a gaping maw, it instantly swallowed half of its body.
However, to Lin Mo's horror,
The undead, missing its upper body, was not dead and was still attacking the gilded door with its feet.
"It really is a monster. I'll see if it can still move even when it's shattered into pieces."
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed, and he immediately ordered the Mountain Ghost to unleash its ultimate skill!
The mountain spirit gently raised her jade hand and parted her red lips, and a series of clear and melodious chants rang out as the magic seals condensed.
In an instant, a strong wind swept through the entire street, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Countless branches and vines grew wildly, transforming in the blink of an eye into giant chains as thick as water buckets.
They bound the undead that were frantically attacking the gilded gate tightly.
At the same time, the leaves in the sky transformed into a rain of incredibly sharp arrows, indiscriminately slicing through the undead.
Limbs and severed arms were scattered all over the ground in an instant.
In no time at all, these living dead were all wiped out.
Fortunately, there aren't many residents in the vicinity, otherwise this scene would have caused quite a commotion.
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to go over and check when...
Suddenly, two dazzling beams of light descended from the sky, converging on the two cards in his hand, blindingly bright.
After a while, the light faded.
Lin Mo was surprised to find that each of the two cards had an extra star on it.
Both of them were upgraded at the same time!
Mountain Spirit, Black Iron Five-Star!
Shen Tu and Yu Lei, four-star Black Iron!
