Iya Continent: Card God

The morning light shone on the galloping white horse, which, of excellent breed, displayed its strong muscle lines in the early morning.

This "Majestic Mountain Horse" can run at night without being blinded, and can run for more than ten hours straight. After all, it was a fine horse that Silver Dog Rod bought for 10 silver coins.

At this moment, Rhodes was filled with resentment and was on the verge of exploding.

In order to find the escaped criminals who had returned, he retraced the escort route and analyzed the river channels to track them down.

Rhodes swore in his heart that if he found those guys, he would make them regret being born.

I definitely won't kill them. They are goods, money. My job is to complete the handover of these "goods".

“There’s a village ahead. Those guys have fallen into the water and gotten soaked in the rain, so they’ll definitely be looking for a place to shelter from the wind and rain and get some food. It’s very likely they’re in the village,” Rod said, grinning.

"Giddy up!" He pulled on the reins, controlling the direction, intending to head towards Hexi Village.

"call--!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, approaching the warhorse.

"Forehead?!"

Silver Dog Rhodes sensed an unfriendly aura, and his eyes darkened.

However, it was still a little too slow, "Bang!"

A sudden attack struck Xiongshan Baima, who let out a painful howl and collapsed.

"who!"

Silver Dog Rhodes didn't have time to see who attacked him before his body fell backward as the horse collapsed to one side. However, his reaction was extremely fast; he suddenly flipped over, leaped, and landed steadily.

A pair of sharp, fierce eyes surveyed the surroundings.

The surrounding bushes and grasses are tall, mostly wild grasses and reeds, enough to conceal a person's figure if they crouch down.

In the instant the flips occurred, Rhodes noticed a figure darting into the center through his gaze.

"hiss……"

The blade slid along the scabbard with a scraping sound as it was slowly drawn out.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh!", he struck out instantly, his cold light flashing, and his sword slashed down into the grass.

The grass and trees burst open, and greenery danced everywhere.

However, the figure that had darted in was not seen.

"I am Rhodes, the Silver Knight and Silver Hound! How dare you ambush and injure my warhorse! Whoever you are, God above, your sin is unforgivable!"

Rod shouted angrily, his eyes coldly sweeping over the crowd. He tried to find out where the other person was.

"call!!!"

The cool morning breeze made the entire Qinglu River ripple like the ocean.

At that moment, voices came from all directions, "You're the one who got hurt! I've been lying in wait for you here for a long time. You want to capture us? We won't let you have your way!"

Upon hearing this, the silver dog Rhodes suddenly realized, "You're the escaped prisoner!"

I was astonished. How did they do that? The voices were coming from all directions.

Using the wind, Linta ran back and forth, talking as he ran, creating the illusion that his voice was heard everywhere, his purpose being to prevent the other party from discovering his exact location.

"Just you? Where are the others?" Rhodes asked, noticing there was only one voice.

“They’ve escaped far away. I took the money and stayed behind to hinder your pursuit,” Linta fabricated.

Rod's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Gone?"

Suddenly, his foot sank into the mud, and a magical power burst forth from his heart and flowed through his body.

Linta felt a chill run down her spine, sensing something was wrong.

"Moon Silver Slash!"

With a swing of his longsword, the blade flashed horizontally, unleashing a full moon slash that sent a burst of silver energy radiating outwards.

"Fuck!"

In an instant, all the surrounding reeds and vegetation that had been covering them were severed, leaving no room for any figure to hide. Unless the opponent was one of the legendary little people.

Linta's figure was finally revealed, and he had no choice but to stand up and look directly at the silver dog, Rhodes.

"Tch, what do you think I am?"

Silverhound Rhodes let out a disdainful sound. The Linta in front of him was thin and frail, and he was wearing a magic-suppressing ring on his hand. Even if he was a great mage, he was not a threat.

"How did you hurt my horse just now?" Rod asked, puzzled.

It's incomprehensible how such a guy could knock down such a strong warhorse. He can't even use magic anymore.

"Ha ha……"

Linta smiled simply, and in the blink of an eye, Swift Shadow fled in one direction.

Silver Dog Rhodes' pupils widened, and he was stunned for a moment.

This was something I hadn't expected at all.

However, he reacted quickly, reined in his majestic white horse, and chased after Linta.

"drive!!"

The horse's hooves pounded, and the still-wet mud splashed and churned, somewhat slowing the white horse.

However, since it was a horse-like beast that only Silver-ranked individuals could subdue and ride, the pursuit was not much less intense, ensuring that Silver Dog Rhodes could see Linta's fleeing figure.

Linta fled desperately, his brows furrowed and his face filled with unease.

Moreover, the gaseous state becomes increasingly weak.

While the power of cards does not consume magic power, it does consume "spiritual power".

After only a few simple movements, Lin Ta felt his energy waning. He muttered to himself, "Where did all that energy I had before I transmigrated go from playing on my phone all night?! Why can't I even run properly?! Is it possible that in this life-or-death situation, I can't unleash my full potential?"

No, no means no.

"Is this guy's anti-magic ring broken?" Rhodes muttered to himself in confusion.

Aside from that, he couldn't explain how Linta could use his skills in that way.

"Whatever, this guy's gotten slower, huh..."

The longsword in his hand condensed magical power, emitting a shimmering light.

If he were just a little closer, he could unleash a blade of energy and strike the prisoner.

"It's over, it's over..."

Linta's mournful cries continued incessantly.

The power of the spirit gradually weakened, and the power of the swift wind gradually slowed down.

"Hehe." Rhodes let out a captured laugh.

He raised his longsword, ready to strike.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a greatsword flew towards them, powerful enough to cleave an adult man in two.

Rhodes recognized the sword: "The Iron Bucket Sword!"

For a moment, Silver Dog Rhodes was somewhat surprised that the other party had actually attacked him.

The longsword, imbued with magic, slashed at the greatsword. With a clang, the greatsword, which possessed no magic and was merely thrown, was deflected.

To Rhodes' surprise, not only did he throw the greatsword, but a silver-haired elven girl also grabbed the hilt and flew towards him with the force of the throw.

"boom!"

The girl's whirlwind kick struck the silver dog Rhodes in the face; the force of the throw was no less than that of a magical attack.

"Forehead!"

"Die, all of you!" Silver Dog Rhodes was completely enraged, unleashing his magic.

But at that moment, the elven girl and Linta leaped into the nearby Song River, "Thump!!"

"You think you can just leave? How naive!"

The silver dog, Rhodes, glared angrily and charged off on his horse.

The pursuit of the majestic white horse was no less powerful than the rushing force of the river against a person.

Rhodes couldn't see the two people who jumped into the water, but he could simply follow the current forward. They weren't fish; they would always need to surface to breathe.
