The back hill of Tulip Academy is densely forested and inhabited by many spiritual creatures. It is a good attraction to visit.
At this moment, three huge dragon lizards were occupying the mountain forest, roaring to the sky, birds flying up in fright, and the entire back mountain fell into chaos.
For the first time, Tulip students received an urgent notice from the school:
"Level 1 alert! A 'spiritual creature riot' breaks out in the back of the campus! Underclassmen please stay away from the back, and upperclassmen are allowed to use cards against spiritual creatures!"
Killing and using source power to decompose spiritual objects will drop materials.
In order to avoid accidents and achieve sustainable development, Tulip has always prohibited students from killing the spiritual creatures in the back mountains.
But this time the situation is special. The 'spiritual creature riot' incident will threaten the entire campus, and it is helpless for senior students to participate in the war.
And this also means that senior students have the right to obtain ‘trophies’.
Juventus had just left the training ground, glanced at the light screen information on his wrist, and then looked at the mountains behind, his pupils contracted, and he felt excited.
‘Dragon Lizard’ is not a common spiritual creature. Killing it will drop extremely rare materials, and your ace can also benefit from it!
But why did the three-headed dragon lizard suddenly appear?
Could it be that some grandmaster secretly kept them in captivity and something went wrong, which caused the turmoil?
Although the "spirit riot" incident has occurred in the history of Tulip School, it has only been recorded once.
After decades, the 'spirit riot' happened again, and after witnessing the honeysuckle fire case, Juventus had to have doubts!
Having said that.
There is still a need to join the war.
Juventus urgently contacted his partner Hetty and others, and hurried to the back mountain, where he found many armed strangers gathered near the back mountain.
"I heard that they are from the Santon State Investigation Team and the Santon State Police."
Hetty said softly: "These two groups of people were invited to be responsible for security during the league, so they will arrive as soon as possible."
Juventus nodded: "Tell them that we are members of the school team and can help deal with a dragon lizard."
Hetty stepped forward to negotiate and soon learned the specific location of a dragon lizard. Juventus and his team rushed to the vicinity of the dragon lizard and saw the scaly reptile again.
Juventus condensed the epic paladin instrument card 'Broken Steel Blade' from the fire, injected the source power, held the paladin sword made of light particles, and then completed the possessed form.
He embodies a set of silver classical paladin armor, like a dazzling Knight of the Round Table, holding a sword and slashing at the dragon lizard with meteoric strides!
Bah!
Juventus frowned.
There was no metallic sound when the sword blade collided with the scales, but instead it was like a balloon bursting!
With just one blow, the extremely violent dragon lizard on the arena dispersed like smoke and turned into particles of light.
The teammates' eyes widened, and Hedy said in surprise: "Juventus, when did you kill the dragon lizard instantly!"
"Something is wrong with the situation." Juventus said, "This is not the flesh and blood body of a spiritual creature, or a spirit body manifested by a card, but a false one."
"What do you mean?" Hetty was confused.
Juventus looked around the gloomy back mountain and said in a low voice: "I guess someone has arranged a large fantasy card in this back mountain in some way."
"Using this fantasy card, I projected the illusion of 'spiritual creature riot'!"

Although Jolina guessed that the 'spiritual creature riot' incident was caused by the 'phantom card', she was not completely sure.
She told Lin Xiao her conjecture.
Because if a card master wants to manifest three 'Dragon Lizard Cards' at the same time, he needs to be at least level seven.
As a seventh-level powerhouse with an extremely strong character, there is little chance of him becoming a card-destroying master.
On the contrary, it is a fantasy card that can create illusions, create maximum panic and attract security forces at the minimum cost.
"This is just a guess." Jolina said, "We will wait and see for a while. If it is really a 'spiritual creature riot', then I also need to go to the war."
"Why?"
"For materials... there are many rare spiritual objects on the mountain behind Tulip, which means rare materials. This is the best opportunity to legally collect wool." Jolina said calmly.
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment.
I didn’t expect that you, a rich woman, also learned how to shear wool.
But maybe her expectations were dashed.
Because there is a high probability... that it is a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain by using the phantom card.
Lin Xiao scanned the screen information and found that a large number of investigation team officers and police were rushing to the back mountain.
Fortunately, I made two preparations and asked the secretary to keep an eye on the basement around the clock.
After squeezing the little secretary for so long, it finally paid off!
"Sigrid, how is the situation?" Lin Xiao put on the Bluetooth.
"Thank God, I finally contacted you!" the little secretary said hurriedly, "The stealth drone I was tracking in the basement was destroyed, so I am more certain that someone has sneaked into the basement!"
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Can your drone sneak into the basement?"
The little secretary said proudly: "Don't underestimate my technical ability...wait a minute, this is not the point!"
"The security in the basement is extremely weak at present." Chu Yun said, "If I had known this, we might as well have let us snatch the holy bones and keep them on our behalf."
Lin Xiao: "Although it's a good idea, it's useless to talk about it now. I'm going to the basement!"
It was inconvenient for Qiaolin to come forward because she was nominally a student of Lonicera, and Tulip did not reveal the 'Holy Skeleton' to her, so it would be difficult to explain clearly once she appeared at the scene.
She drove her motorcycle out of Tulip Academy, and together with Vivian, she kept an eye on several key roads to prevent the 'card-destroying master' from escaping with the help of a vehicle card after he succeeded.
The campus forum is still lively at this moment. Although there is a 'spiritual creature riot', it does not prevent the freshmen from hiding in the dormitory and taking advantage of the forum.
"Spiritual creature riot? Why did this happen when I first came to Tulip!"
"Lonicera was on fire a few days ago. I feel like the league was not peaceful."
"The riot of spiritual creatures is nothing. I'm really looking forward to going out with the juniors. Maybe I can get some rare materials!"
"Stewart can have some fun. The news that he was killed by a seal will not appear on the front page tomorrow. (Funny)"
On the back mountain.
Gradually, some operators discovered that something was wrong. These spiritual objects broke into pieces when touched, like mirror flowers and water moon.
"This is probably a phantom card." the senior operator said.
"But this is a magic card that can affect the entire back mountain. Special props need to be arranged around the back mountain."
Another operator asked strangely: "Who can run around the back mountain under our noses?"
A figure surveying the back mountain appeared in the senior operator's mind, he shook his head and said:
"Don't pursue things you don't know. This is my experience in getting to know senior operators. I'll share it with you."

basement.
The immortal bones stored in the crystal glass are still like a piece of dead wood, with no energy fluctuations.
Outside the heavy security door, Chief Ella and Team Leader Butler looked solemn.
"Open the safety door." Butler frowned and said, "I'm worried that something unexpected has happened inside."
Ella shook her head and said: "This safety door can only be opened by the permissions of you and me. There is no need to open it for inspection."
"You also saw it on the field today."
Butler said: "There is a student in the Honeysuckle team who possesses the 'power of space'. It is extremely rare. The possibility of awakening is very small. The source is somewhat suspicious."
Ella frowned slightly: "You mean, that student might be a card-dropping master?"
"Whether she is or not, Tulip is in disarray right now and we need to identify the saint's bones again," Butler said.
Ella nodded silently and reached for her waist.
Butler waited patiently for her to take out the card and heard the click of a bullet being loaded.
Ella shook the gun and said coldly:
"Team leader, please allow me to be on guard. This is responsible for you and me."
A cluster of golden yellow light flashed across Butler's eyes, and he nodded solemnly.
*
When Lin Xiao rushed to the basement, he smelled the smell of blood in the air and immediately quickened his pace.
The safety door is open.
There is no trace of the saint's bones in the crystal glass, and there are blood stains on the ground and the unpleasant smell after Yuanli burned the corpse.
Lin Xiao looked serious.
He had no idea what happened in the basement. Now that he appeared at the scene of the crime for the first time, he was suspected of being the murderer!
The smell of blood filled the nostrils, tension and depression enveloped the narrow safe, a chill filled the spine, and the safe in front of him seemed to be a superimposed image.
The ‘Arrogant Purple Jade’ in Lin Xiao’s fire rippled, and clarity returned to her eyes in an instant!
‘Phantom card.’
Lin Xiao thought to himself, 'As expected of the power of arrogance, it can even destroy illusions involving the spiritual system!'
The immortal bones are still stored in the crystal cabinet.
Come to think of it, the murderer hasn't had time to take action on the sacred object yet.
When he saw me breaking in, he used a magic card to create the illusion that the "holy bones were stolen" and lured me out.
Lin Xiao became more vigilant.
And this also means that the murderer is still hiding in the basement, in the same area as me!
Ka.
The sound was very soft, obviously the sound of a bullet being loaded.
The pistol modified by the card maker can easily break the card maker's energy barrier and penetrate the card maker's flesh and blood. It is often used by the police to arrest the card maker.
Lin Xiao turned his back to the gun, looking at the immortal bones in the crystal cabinet, his mind wandering.
Is the demon believer who sneaked into the basement actually that guy...
Bang!
Bullets fired.
The field of laziness unfolds instantly!
Lin Xiao turned around, but his movements were incredibly fast in the eyes of that person.
The man's eyes widened suddenly.
But he saw a blue light rising from Lin Xiao's right palm, and he reached out lightly.
The bullet dragged a wake in the air, moving extremely slowly. When the bullet touched the blue 'Power of Sloth', its momentum had diminished, and it was held between Lin Xiao's two fingers!
Snap.
Lin Xiao casually dropped the warhead on the ground, it was crisp and sweet, looked at the surprised man, and said:
"Being able to arrange phantom cards around the back mountain in full view of the public, and then voluntarily withdrawing from the security force and asking to personally guard the holy bones..."
"Team Leader Butler."
Butler's face was ashen, holding a special firearm, and Lin Xiao's sigh came to his ears:
"As the leader of the investigation team, why bother?"
"I would like to ask..." Butler sneered: "Why are you, a teacher, coming all the way here if you don't want to take care of your students?"
"Either, your plan is the same as mine." Butler narrowed his eyes, "You are eyeing priceless bones!"
Lin Xiao: "Priceless?"
"Do you know how many star coins a buyer paid for this collection?" Butler said calmly: "They can buy the entire state of Santon."
Butler got ready for war, held the card, and sighed: "I wanted to refuse, but they gave me too much."
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered.
It was nothing at first.
If you say so, I am interested in the ‘Holy Skeleton’!
Otherwise, I should kill Butler first, then take the holy bones and run away?
Noticing Lin Xiao's excited expression, Butler was stunned for a moment.
Why...do you feel that he is more greedy than me?
It seems that this guy can win over and become a disciple of Lord Mammon!
Butler: "What..."
Bang!!
Before you finish speaking, take action first!
Lin Xiao quickly threw a scarlet spear, and the tip of the spear broke through Butler's energy barrier and exploded a second time!
"Ah!!" Butler covered his face with his hands, half-knelt on the ground, and screamed.
Lin Xiao said calmly: "Unfortunately, I am more interested in your so-called 'buyer' than the goods for sale."
If you kill someone and steal the goods, you still have to sell the goods. It's not as easy as robbing the buyer directly!
Am I too mean?
Lin Xiao frowned, then denied this, and nodded slightly.
Butler is bewitched by wealth, so his employer is most likely the Demon God of Greed, which symbolizes wealth.
When facing the devil, there is no need to talk about moral principles!
As a sixth-level master specializing in 'Fantasy Card', Butler's character is not so weak.
But if the devil catches him and magnifies his inner weakness, even the leader of the investigation team is at risk of falling...
Lin Xiao looked at Butler and frowned slightly.
"Why...why don't you continue to do it?"
Butler gasped for breath, raised his face covered with blood, and said with a fanatical yellow light in his eyes: "Are you afraid that the murder will be discovered and you won't be able to escape?"
Lin Xiao didn't answer. He heard noisy footsteps outside and commotion in the basement. A large number of people were coming after hearing the news.
"Think about it carefully, Lin."
Butler calmed down instead, his smile looked cruel, "I am the leader of the investigation team, and now I am covered in blood, but you appeared here at the first moment of the crime..."
Lin Xiao seemed to realize something and was slightly startled.
What you said makes sense. I am more suspected of committing the crime than you.
But I have teammates outside, and they even recorded the whole process...
"Help!!"
Butler knelt down on the ground, howling and crawling outwards. His acting was so realistic that it made people cry, and he tried his best to stretch out his bloody palm:
"Someone... wants to steal the holy bones!!"
Principal Tulip and Mandarin arrived in person, accompanied by the old Principal Lonicera with white beard and white hair, and a large number of police officers.
A group of people looked at the ground and saw Team Leader Butler covered in blood and howling in agony.
Then he glanced at Lin Xiao, who was standing alone.
"Lin Xiao, you...here!" Principal Tulip Xiang's face was as cold as frost.
"What's going on?" The old principal was puzzled.
Lin Xiao didn't panic, glanced at the crowd, and saw Brother Chu Yun pushing away the crowd expressionlessly and walking up to Butler.
He squatted down, stared at Butler, and then put a lighter-sized tape recorder in front of his eyes.
Butler's pupils shrank and his expression suddenly changed.
drop.
Chu Yun pressed the play button.
The silence in the room echoed with the entire recording, like a public execution.
Everyone's expressions ranged from confused to shocked. They looked at Team Leader Butler with expressions of disbelief.
How is that possible!
The dignified investigation team leader of Santon State would actually rebel for money!
However, history has proven that as long as the interests are large enough, no matter how high the position is, it will be lost.
The reason why the Demon God of Greed is terrifying is not because of how powerful his followers are, but because of his ability to control people's hearts.
Butler was hopeless. He looked at Lin Xiao and moved his pale lips:
"How could you...this is the investigation team's case handling process..."
Glancing at the old principal, Lin Xiao knew that it was necessary to reveal some identity to gain a greater say.
In full view of everyone, Lin Xiao calmly took out a gilded black ID, opened the cover, and showed it in front of Butler's eyes.
"The Star Map City Investigation Team, leader of the sixth team, came to investigate the 'Demon God's Resurrection' case."
"sorry."
Lin Xiao regretted:
"Captain Butler, you are under arrest."
Butler looked ashen, opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head in despair.
Grandma, it turns out they are colleagues, no wonder they are so professional!
Aldrich's eyes widened, and Principal Tulip looked equally surprised.
A young scholar with amazing talent suddenly becomes an elite member of the investigation team?
No, it is precisely because he is so good that he can become the backbone of the investigation team!
Not only did the old principal not complain about him concealing his identity, but he admired Lin Xiao even more.
After all, it was precisely because of his covert actions that Butler, who was hiding so deeply, could be arrested!
Principal Tulip is also very happy.
Because of this talented person's outstanding performance, the holy bones were preserved.
I have to express my deep gratitude to Mr. Lin Xiao!
Everyone was immersed in the sadness after solving the case and the shock of Mr. Lin Xiao's identity being revealed.
The police officers whispered: "Have you seen Chief Ella?"
"She and Team Leader Butler were guarding the holy bones. Something unexpected must have happened..."
"Alas..." the police officer sighed.
Butler raised his head suddenly: "I'm just asking for money, not killing anyone! I have the bottom line of Tinder!"
"You even let your ashes burn and you still want to argue." The police officer sneered, "Take him away!"
They handcuffed Butler, who kept roaring, and someone injected him with a sedative and took him back to the police car.
Lin Xiao let out a light sigh.
When I came in, I did not see Sheriff Ella. I thought her body had been burned by Butler.
But what if what Butler said is true?
He still retains a trace of humanity. If he didn't attack Ella, then where is the policeman?
Lin Xiao subconsciously looked at the holy bones that looked like dead wood, opened the guide, and was stunned for a long time.
[Dragon Bone: Purple Epic.]
It's not an immortal skeleton, just a piece of dragon bone used for forgery.
Misstep.
Lin Xiao frowned.
Ella is another demon believer...
Or, it's the devil himself!
…
wasteland.
The swaying purple firelight reflected a hooded figure approaching.
"Something went wrong, so I have to retrieve the holy bones myself."
Mammon held a piece of shroud in her hand and said with a smile: "However, I met a very interesting human being."
A group of purple light enveloped the shroud, and for a long time, Lucifer's tired voice sounded.
"Even I can't analyze its true power...but it's enough to use it for resurrection..."
"What about this bone?" Mammon said.
Lucifer said indifferently:
"I will keep it with you for the time being, and I will promise you corresponding gifts."
"All right."
Mammon picked up the shroud again, the figure of the human appeared in her mind, and whispered:
