Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 224 I am a local

Tang Youai watched Zhang Jingtian leave.

He was filled with emotion and could always remember how the other person looked when he first met him.

And the stories they had experienced, each of which was as clear as if it had happened yesterday.

Tang Youai sighed a little. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Jingtian had become a person that he had to look up to in terms of strength.

When Tang Youai thought about what Zhang Jingtian was going to do next, all he felt was admiration.

Does Tang Youai really have no feelings for Lanruo City?
No, he lived there longer, and his wife stayed there forever.

But Tang Youai's strength is not enough for him to shoulder the responsibility of saving Lanruo City.

So Tang Youai could only numb himself and tell himself that as long as he was still alive, it was already pretty good.

As for saving our hometown, let’s leave it to those who are more capable!

At this time, a little girl came out and whispered:
"Dad, was that Brother Zhang Jingtian just now?"

Tang Youai nodded: "Yes, it's him, Brother Zhang Jingtian is going back to Lanruo City."

The girl cried out, and asked worriedly, "But Dad, didn't you tell me that Lanruo City is very dangerous right now? Will Brother Zhang Jingtian be in danger?"

Tang Youai walked to his daughter's side, squatted down, held her hand, and said softly, "It's possible, but Brother Zhang Jingtian is already very powerful now. Even if he encounters danger, he will definitely be able to turn it into safety."

After hearing her father's words, the daughter's face continued to flicker with doubts:
"Really? Dad, who's more powerful now, brother Zhang Jingtian or you?"

Although Tang Youai wanted to continue to maintain his image as an omnipotent father in front of his daughter.

But in the end, he chose to seek truth from facts:
"Dad is not bad at all, but your brother Zhang Jingtian is indeed more powerful."

The girl exclaimed, "Brother is so young, yet he's already surpassed dad! When will I be able to be as good as Brother Zhang Jingtian?"

When Zhang Jingtian arrived at Lanruo City, the city where he had stayed for a long time had become a deserted city.

Looking around, Zhang Jingtian couldn't even see a living creature.

He even suspected that everyone in the city had fled.

After Zhang Jingtian took a few steps, he suddenly frowned and smelled a strange scent.

Zhang Jingtian would never mistake that gloomy and cold aura.

It's the Scourge.

So Zhang Jingtian quickly pulled out the card.

Daji blew a kiss to Zhang Jingtian, and then threw a fox fire behind her.

A ghost who was hiding secretly was burned to ashes by the fox fire.

Obviously, the blue one now has more Scourge troops than ordinary people.

However, these ghosts that crawled out of Xi Lake were not very powerful, so they had no effect on Zhang Jingtian.

Just like that, he walked to the side of Xihu Lake.

Coming back to Xihu Lake, Zhang Jingtian looked at this still magnificent lake, feeling filled with emotion.

Because he can still remember that when he first heard about Xihu, he had complicated thoughts about this place.

At that time, he was worried that a stronger and more terrifying monster would appear in this lake one day. Unexpectedly, his worry came true, and it was even more terrifying than he expected.

The entire Lanruo City has now become a veritable ghost town.

Looking at the mirror-like lake surface, Zhang Jingtian was thinking about how he should enter this secret realm. Should he just jump into the lake from here?
Just as Zhang Jingtian was thinking, he suddenly heard intermittent footsteps.

Zhang Jingtian frowned, and his first reaction was actually that the people rushing over now might be another blind Scourge Legion.

He even summoned the Queen of Jingjue to protect him.

However, when Zhang Jingtian turned around, he found that the person approaching him was none other than a card maker.

The opponent's strength is still lower than Zhang Jingtian's.

At this time, he trotted to Zhang Jingtian and said earnestly:

"Friend, this lake is very dangerous. You'd better stay away from it, otherwise you will lose your life."

Zhang Jingtian turned his head and looked at the man, raising his eyebrows: "Who are you? Don't you know me?"

The man was stunned for a second. He didn't expect that Zhang Jingtian would become the host.

"I, I really don't know you. Even if you are a card maker, I still want to remind you that Xihu Lake is not an ordinary secret place. You are in great danger here!"

Zhang Jingtian sighed and explained, "I know it's dangerous because I grew up in Lanruo City. Could it be that everyone has left now?"

Zhang Jingtian couldn't believe that in such a short time, no one in the entire Lanruo City was left alive.

The man shook his head. "Not really. There are still many people who don't want to leave here. Some of them stay in their homes and don't go out unless necessary."

Some people even hid in the basement, thinking that even if the situation in Xihu Lake worsens in the future, it will not affect their lives.

But in reality, we all know that staying here is a dead end. You should leave too!"

Zhang Jingtian smiled and said, "I came back specifically for this reason. How could I leave? And as you can see, I'm an Emerald Card Maker. I won't die that easily."

When Zhang Jingtian released his mental power, the man widened his eyes in shock. He didn't expect that Zhang Jingtian, who looked younger than him, was so powerful.

“But…even if you survive, it will be difficult to change the current situation.

Do you think you can resolve the crisis at Xihu Lake by yourself?"

Zhang Jingtian on the side smiled and said: "How can we know if we don't try? Now you just need to tell me how to enter the secret realm. Is it better to just jump in directly?"

The man nodded reluctantly.

Then Zhang Jingtian jumped down without hesitation without any reluctance.

With a splash, he fell to the bottom of the lake and disappeared from the man's sight.

The man looked at the ripples that just appeared and then quickly disappeared, and he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Jingtian is indeed courageous.

But resolving the crisis at Xihu Lake requires more than just courage.

However, the rescue was indeed very slow. After all, Lanruo City was too small. Many people felt that making the city disappear would be more cost-effective than hiring a group of powerful card makers.

At this time, as the bottom of the lake sank little by little, Zhang Jingtian saw the city under the sea for the first time.
