Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 191 Lady Akabane
At this time, outside the cave, a beautiful woman with a pair of wings like a big bird walked into her home.

There were several men accompanying her.

However, the woman's smile disappeared immediately after she entered the house.

Her face was ashen, the wings on her back were trembling, and feathers kept falling off.

The men immediately knelt down and said terrifiedly:
"Master, there's a thief in the house!"

The half-human bird woman sneered, her expression very impatient:

"What's the point of saying something like this at a time like this? Do you think I can't see it?"

As expected, those people shut their mouths obediently and stopped talking.

"The most urgent thing now is to find the guy who stole all my treasures. Where is he?"

The centaur spread her wings, and when she vibrated them, a strange sound was made.

This sound is inaudible to humans but can be heard by birds.

Soon, the flock of birds that had been hiding in the trees and grass swarmed over and flew to the side of the half-human bird.

The birds chirped:
"Master, someone just came here!"

"Yes, we saw it. He took everything. That damn thief!"

"Actually, that thief is quite handsome!"

The half-human bird tutted, "How dare you come here alone to cause trouble for my Lady Chiyu? You must be tired of living! Such a foolish person shouldn't be from Cancer City, right? The Lord of Cancer City should have heard of me!"

She narrowed her eyes: "Do you know where they went?"

The birds shook their heads and then all flew away.

Lady Akabane snorted, "What a bunch of cowards! But this guy can't get far. Go keep an eye on him nearby!"

As soon as he finished speaking, wings grew out of the spines of the men and began to circle around.

Lady Akabane took a deep breath and said:

"Maybe he didn't leave, but just hid! If that's the case, then we have to play with him for a while, considering his courage."

At the same time, Zhang Jingtian stood outside the iron cage where Huai Yalin was imprisoned and looked at her seriously:

"So who is the owner of this place? How did she capture so many people?"

"That girl, called Lady Red Feather, is a bird demon. As for her strength, she should have an orange card, and her level is quite high."

"Her favorite thing is to collect all kinds of treasures, including people, and even people from the Calamity Star.

But she doesn't kill people, she just likes to see those she captures slowly starve to death."

Zhang Jingtian sighed and couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't this too perverted?"

Huai Yalin nodded: "She is indeed very abnormal. But she has the strength. Even the people of Cancer City don't dare to provoke her easily."

Zhang Jingtian had a confused expression on his face.

Orange cards are indeed very powerful, but since there are powerful black cards in Cancer City, the value of orange cards is just so-so. How could it be possible for a whole Cancer City to be afraid of them?

Huai Yalin sighed, "She is indeed like that. Although she has quite a few treasures, she is not enough to suppress others of higher rank. But she has an older sister who lives in the neighboring Jinniu City. I heard that she is at the Gold Card level. And her status is also quite high."

Zhang Jingtian finally understood. Lady Chiyu's strength was just that, but her background was extraordinary, so the people in Cancer City would be a little wary of her.

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Jingtian.

"Are all the people in Jinniu City demons?" Zhang Jingtian continued to ask.

Huai Yalin nodded, and then finally got to the point: "You've asked me so many questions, why don't you try to get me out first? Can't you have some pity on me, your senior?" After hearing this, Zhang Jingtian immediately touched his nose awkwardly and said with a smile:

"Then Senior Sister, you have to tell me a way to rescue you!"

Huai Yalin touched her chin and thought for a moment before she spoke:

"I remember that he always used fire to heat the chain. I remember that one of your heroic spirits also used fire?"

Zhang Jingtian nodded and summoned Daji.

Not only can Daji use fire, but she is also a demon. She looks exactly like Lady Chiyu in attributes.

When Huai Yalin saw Daji, envy was revealed in her eyes.

I didn't expect that Zhang Jingtian and I had only been separated for one semester, but now, Zhang Jingtian has caught up with me.

They are all platinum card makers already.

Moreover, Zhang Jingtian’s heroic spirit is also an orange card.

Huai Yalin knew that apart from being a few years older than Zhang Jingtian, she no longer had much advantage over this young man.

At that moment, Huai Yalin couldn't help but sigh.

She always thought that she was a genius.

However, compared with a true genius like Zhang Jingtian, the gap is still too far.

Daji smiled slightly, glanced at the key on the cage, and said softly: "Her fire should not be as strong as mine."

As soon as she finished speaking, Daji narrowed her eyes and threw out a fox fire.

When the fox fire wrapped around the chain, the chain actually disappeared.

Huai Yalin smiled. After she regained her freedom, the first thing she did was to rush over and give Zhang Jingtian a tight hug.

"Thank you!"

She had actually already thought of a suicide note, intending to die in the cage.

"It's okay," Zhang Jingtian said calmly, "but I'm curious, how did you get locked up?"

Huai Yalin said softly, "I'm now a Platinum Five Star. I've been at this level for half a year."

Zhang Jingtian nodded, but actually didn't understand Huai Yalin's implication.

"What do you mean?"

Huai Yalin exclaimed, then realized that although Zhang Jingtian was already platinum, he actually didn't know that much about card makers.

"Once you reach Platinum, if you want to make further progress, it's no longer as simple as having enough mental strength."

Huai Yalin paused and continued:

"If you want to break through, you need an opportunity. This opportunity could be defeating a powerful opponent above your level, challenging a group of people and winning. It could be being surrounded by enemies and fighting one against a hundred. It could also be finding opportunities within the sealed gate."

Huai Yalin pointed at herself and said, "I chose the last one, so I came to the sealed door. I kept going forward and finally found this place.

As a result, I just came in and saw that Akabane lady, and then you know, I lost, was defeated by her, and then locked up."

Speaking of this, Huai Yalin suddenly became serious:

"They came looking for us."
