Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin

No one expected that Zhang Jingtian would come out of the secret realm in just three hours.

When he walked to the Card Creator Association, the staff looked at him with strange eyes after seeing that he had cleared the secret realm.

"So fast?"

Although this secret realm was carefully selected by them, it was considered a relatively simple type even among the dangerous-level secret realms.

However, they never expected that Zhang Jingtian would be able to clear it so quickly by himself.

Now, they only had deep admiration for Zhang Jingtian.

"Do you want to continue accepting commissions?" the staff member asked.

Zhang Jingtian shook his head. Now, his mental strength meant that he could only go to dangerous-level secret realms alone, which was no longer a significant improvement for him.

If he wanted to go to secret realms with a higher difficulty, he could only team up, and the materials he would receive might not be as good as what he could get now by soloing.

And continuing to go to dangerous-level secret realms was not as good as going behind the Gate of Sealing. That place was a true paradise for adventurers.

After Zhang Jingtian refused the staff member, he sold all the materials he had collected this time.

The human race's materials were useless to him.

After resting in the dormitory for a day, Zhang Jingtian took out the token that the chief had given him last time and headed to the Gate of Sealing.

This time, the guard at the Gate of Sealing had changed.

Zhang Jingtian subconsciously asked, "Where's the other person?"

That person sighed silently before saying, "He's dead. After you guys went back, the Crab City launched a fierce attack, but we withstood it. They suffered heavy losses. I estimate they won't dare to come over for the next few months."

Zhang Jingtian touched his nose, thinking that after they went back, they had forgotten about the Gate of Sealing and continued their original lives.

But he didn't expect that so many things had happened behind this gate.

At that moment, a look of discomfort appeared on Zhang Jingtian's face.

After entering the Gate of Sealing, Zhang Jingtian saw that the barracks they had previously stayed in had been burned down, and new barracks were still under construction.

And the officer who had led them back then was now dead.

Seeing Zhang Jingtian's sad expression, the soldier next to him began to comfort him:

"Brother Zhang, don't be so sad. Death is the most common thing here. In fact, most of us are already used to it."

Zhang Jingtian clenched his fist and said, "Why don't we take revenge and take the initiative to attack? With the full strength of our Dragon Country, it shouldn't be a problem to push down a Crab City, right?"

In fact, they would ask this question when they first came to the military department.

But later, gradually, no one cared anymore.

On the one hand, they were numb, and on the other hand, they could only feel the horror of the Scourge Legion when they were in it.

They would develop a kind of fear.

"Because, because all the cities of the Scourge Legion will unite to deal with us. We don't have that strength yet, so we can only continue to drag on."

The soldier stammered and repeated what his leader had said.

Zhang Jingtian snorted, "Yeah, everyone hopes for a bloodless and peaceful solution. But is that possible? We're developing slowly, and so are they? If the Scourge Legion finds out that our strength is not as good as theirs, they will definitely attack at the first opportunity!"

Zhang Jingtian cursed a few times, knowing that he couldn't influence the military department's thoughts, so he had to give up.

The soldier also knew about Zhang Jingtian's glorious deeds and admired him quite a bit, so he immediately asked:

"Brother, what are you doing here alone this time?"

"I heard before that there are many good things in the Gate of Sealing, as well as all kinds of adventures. I also want to explore here."

After hearing this, the soldier couldn't help but remind him, "That's true, but these high returns come with high risks. If something happens to you inside, we won't be able to rescue you."

Zhang Jingtian smiled, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't gamble with my life."

Afterward, Zhang Jingtian walked alone in another direction.

This place was in the opposite direction from the dense forest and Crab City. He looked at the map in his hand and knew that there was a river ahead, and beastmen often stopped by the river.

However, the quality of these beastmen was generally not too high, which was very suitable for practicing.

Moreover, there were also many precious medicinal herbs by the river. If he could bring some back, his trip would be a big profit.

Zhang Jingtian closely watched the map, fearing that he would go the wrong way.

When he gently pushed aside the reeds in front of him and saw a winding river, he knew that he must have gone the right way.

However, strangely, there wasn't a single beastman drinking water by the river, and those precious plants that originally grew by the river had been trampled on.

Zhang Jingtian frowned, thinking, could someone have gotten there first?

Perhaps before him, a card creator had taken the same route and taken everything away.

Just as Zhang Jingtian was about to leave, Loulan, who had been standing next to him, suddenly said, "Master, there seem to be a row of footprints there."

Zhang Jingtian said "Oh" and immediately looked in the direction Loulan was pointing.

Sure enough, he saw a row of footprints there.

And it looked like they were human footprints.

But it could also be the footprints of human Scourge Star people.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jingtian decided to follow them.

He quietly summoned his motorcycle and rode it, following the footprints.

After an unknown amount of time, the footprints finally disappeared, and a house appeared in front of Zhang Jingtian.

It was a wooden cabin.

Outside the wooden cabin, there was also a pond.

If it weren't in the Gate of Sealing, Zhang Jingtian would definitely sigh at how beautiful the scene was, just like a paradise.

At this moment, Zhang Jingtian raised his eyebrows and carefully walked towards the wooden cabin.

In the pond, there were plants growing at this time. Zhang Jingtian could recognize at a glance that these were all medicinal herbs, and they were valuable.

So it turned out that the owner of this house had picked all the medicinal herbs by the river and planted them in his own pond.

At this time, he made a gesture, and Zakiram slipped in like a ghost.

She was going to investigate whether there was anyone inside.

Zakiram quietly turned around. The wooden cabin was empty, but it could be seen that people usually lived here. It's just that the owner of the house hadn't returned today.

Zhang Jingtian nodded and, with lightning speed, picked all the medicinal herbs in the pond.
