Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"goo"

Although she was kicked by herself, it looked like the Harpy was not hurt too much. Instead, she seemed to be enraged and bared her teeth at Asuka.

Asuka was shocked by the Duel Monsters that she had seen materialize in the real world, and she also did not forget to be on guard against the Harpy in front of her. But just as she was concentrating on the Harpy in front of her, who was just making a ferocious look but not making any substantial attacking moves, suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air!

Asuka decisively jumped sideways to leave the spot, even though she used too much force to hit her body directly into the tree. She was very grateful because she saw another [Harpy] swooping down at the place where she was just now. At the same time, the first [Harpy] that had been motionless before also took the opportunity to swing its sharp claws to attack, and even cut off a strand of her hair.

What is this "the wolf in front pretends to sleep in order to lure the enemy"? Asuka couldn't help but think of an ancient article she had learned in the past, and complained in her heart.

It was at this moment that she looked up and finally discovered that there were not only the first and second Harpies she had discovered at the beginning, but there were at least six or seven more Harpies hovering above the woods, as if they regarded her as their hunting target.

Based on the kick she gave at the beginning, Asuka could tell that although the Harpies were stronger than her, she still had a chance to fight them, provided there was only one of them. When she found the second one, Asuka started to think about how to injure one and scare it away. But, how many were there in total?
Before, Asuka actually couldn't quite understand why Hayato said something like "a strong physique is a must for a duelist" when he forced her, Judai and others to be included in the list of participants for the "Wild Survival" event. He also said that even if they couldn't resist heart disease, a duelist's biggest enemy, they could at least use their strong thighs in critical moments.

That's right, as we all know, human legs can exert far more power than fists. Facing the Harpy whose strength far exceeds that of humans, this critical moment is when Hayato-sensei said to use the powerful thighs!
That is to say-

Without hesitation, Asuka turned around and started running: "Let's oil the road~"

The two Harpies that landed on the ground were frightened by Asuka's ferocious look, which seemed to indicate a fight to the death. Especially when they saw her legs exerting force, they thought she was going to fight back. Who would have thought that Asuka, with a look like that of a lion, would choose to run away the next moment.

This action successfully angered the Harpies. After the two on the ground let out an angry cry, the other group of Harpies in the sky stopped circling and seemed to dive down following Asuka. The two that had landed before also hurriedly flew up and prepared to dive again.

[Harpies], although they can fly at high speeds like hawks, they have human bodies and are destined to be unable to adjust their flight trajectory as freely as real hawks. As a result, when hunting, they either use the power of high-altitude attacks to kill their prey in one blow, or grab the prey and throw it to death in the air, but they cannot flexibly dive and attack and then rise immediately.

This means that if the prey is too sensitive when acting alone, the first attack with the highest success rate is likely to be avoided, but when the prey relaxes, the success rate of the attack launched by the second Harpy is not low. But if both attacks are avoided.

Well, since the single hit rate is not high, we can win by numbers. That is, a series of dive attacks launched by multiple [Harpies] - [Harpy - Phoenix Formation -]!
The Harpies, having completely let go and no longer concealing their whereabouts, flew at high speeds like intercontinental missiles. When they were about to attack Asuka, they immediately swooped down, completely ignoring the trees blocking their way and directly knocking them down, causing Asuka to flee in the forest in a panic as if she was being chased by a series of rockets.

At the same time, because of the current situation of being chased by duel monsters, she couldn't help but think of the many adventures she had experienced in the past.

Just now, a Harpy was about to hit me, and now they only have a little time to fly up again and swoop down again, only more than ten seconds at most. So calm down, Asuka, you have to think of a way to resolve the current situation - there is no one else to rely on, only you alone!

I have encountered this kind of situation of being attacked by duel monsters before, in the recent "Duel-Links", in order to deal with the attacks of those monsters, my method was to take out the duel monster cards to summon monsters and also materialize them to fight. However, that was in the virtual world, and I don't have that kind of supernatural power in reality!
She hugged the trunk of a huge tree with her hands and used the force of her forward rush to make a sharp turn, thus successfully avoiding the attack launched in advance by a Harpy. However, Asuka did not feel lucky, because she noticed that the Harpies that had landed before had gathered in the air again, ready to attack at the same time to block all her escape routes!

No, to be honest, in the real world, duel monsters can't be materialized easily. Asuka remembered that once when she asked Judai out to play cards, he told her that when he was in the first grade, he met someone playing a psychic game and accidentally created a spirit of [Artificial Human - Telekinesis].

But even that evil and powerful elf needed the souls of the three students who created it to be sacrificed in order to be truly born. Before that, every time a person was sacrificed, it would gradually gain a certain amount of material power.

In other words, the Harpies, who are not as powerful as the "Three Phantom Gods" and "Three Phantom Demons", can materialize for some reason. And judging from the range of their activities, they don't seem to worry about disappearing too far from the source of their power.

That's right! Just like the [Royal Valley of Long Sleep]! Asuka thought of the secret world behind the Duel Academy, where a large number of [Gravekeeper] monsters that are not bound by cards live, just like the [Harpies] flying freely in the sky in front of them. Maybe it's not some special power, but the area under your feet itself has the power to materialize the Duel Monsters!

The best way to prove this is...

Asuka took out the Duel Disk, put it on while tumbling, and knelt on one knee to steady herself, watching the Harpies swooping down from the sky. She didn't have time to check what card she had put on the top of her deck. She only had time to take the deck out of the card box at her waist and insert it into the slot of the Duel Disk, then suddenly pulled out a card and held it in front of her: "Answer me—"

"【Silent Dragon Princess Saphira】!" As Asuka raised the card, she, who did not possess any supernatural powers, actually succeeded in summoning a Duel Monster from the card at this moment. The form of 【Dragon Princess Goddess Saphira】 changed into a human form. 【Silent Dragon Princess Saphira】 released a powerful shock wave of light, which blew away all the 【Harpies】 in front of her who were trying to attack Asuka!
"Wow!" "Ah!" "Quack!"

Even if the [Three Harpies] came, they were no match for [Saphira, the Silent Dragon Princess]. What's more, what about the [Harpies] in front of Asuka, whose numbers were commendable but they could only gather together to bully the small monsters of the level of [Disruption]? Under the power of [Saphira, the Silent Dragon Princess], they were instantly repelled and fled from the forest in panic and rose into the air, running away like startled birds in the forest.

After that, the [Silent Dragon Princess - Saphira] floating in the air turned around and looked at Asuka who summoned her, just like the scene in [Silent Prayer].

Asuka looked at the [Silent Dragon Hyun Ji - Saphira] in front of her in disbelief, and reached out to catch a feather that fell from her body. The feeling of actually touching the feather confirmed that she was not dreaming, and she couldn't help but muttered: "I actually summoned a materialized Duel Monster?"

But in the next moment, the figure of [Saphira, the Silent Dragon Princess] disappeared from in front of Asuka, and Asuka also felt weak, as if the appearance of [Saphira, the Silent Dragon Princess] required Asuka's physical strength to maintain.

The golden particles that were floating in the wind in front of her almost made Asuka think she was dreaming, but the feather left in her hand also made Asuka realize that she was not hallucinating - she really had just successfully summoned a Duel Monster with a physical body while being chased by the Harpies! ?
I don't understand the principles at all, but it doesn't matter. I roughly understand the magical rules that exist on this island - the duel monsters have the special power of materialization, and the corresponding duelists can also materialize their cards to fight them, but this requires consuming physical strength and other things to maintain the existence of the cards.

Take a detour to avoid battles to conserve energy, or summon elves to travel as quickly as possible. Those participating in "Wild Survival" need to choose between these two options and be flexible to find the right balance. With the support of supply points along the way, they must break through the duel monsters on the island and move towards the center of the island. This may be the real difficulty of this "Wild Survival"!

Just as Asuka was thinking this, her stomach suddenly growled, interrupting her train of thought.

Although she knew about this "wilderness survival" activity in advance and knew that Hayato would prepare supplies for everyone in advance, Asuka was a sixteen-year-old girl after all. Girls of this age could not let go of managing their figure and overeating. She even had a simple piece of duel bread for breakfast before leaving today - with salad filling.

It seemed that it was almost noon. First she escaped from the Harpy and then summoned Saphira, the Silent Dragon Princess. Asuka felt that instead of taking the risk of traveling without enough energy, she might as well find a place to recover and sort out the existing intelligence for long-term planning.

Although she had been running around in the forest for a while, Asuka was able to find the direction she came from because the traces left by the harpies' attack were too obvious. She quickly reconfirmed her approximate location on the map. Then, based on the map she had memorized, she quickly discovered that there should be a wide open space nearby, which was suspected to be the "supply point" that Hayato teacher mentioned.

Because of the change in strategy, Asuka felt that it would be better for her not to try to continue camping in the wild. Instead, she would take advantage of the first day to see what the "supply point" that Hayato teacher mentioned was like.

As she walked, she mixed a piece of bread that had been broken when she hit a tree with seasoning powder and ate it as instant noodles. It was both to fill her stomach and replenish her energy and to reduce the weight. Fortunately, the map that Asuka memorized was not wrong. She soon found an open space that seemed to be a supply point. There was indeed a conspicuous signboard with the words "Supply Point" written on it, and there were some small words written under the signboard, which seemed to be additional instructions.

Asuka also saw that there was a large circle drawn in the center of the open space, and inside the circle there was a large box that was as tall as a person, which might contain supplies.

But Asuka didn't rush into that circle. Who knows if it might be a trap? It's no wonder Asuka thought too much. After all, Asuka knew from Fubuki that there was a saying in Duel Academy that "Principal Hayato can give people great peace of mind when danger comes, but when it's safe, Principal Hayato is the biggest danger."

All students who have studied in the school for more than one year will basically agree with the truth of this sentence. Even the two new students, Ed Phoenix and Dilano Jianshan, have probably realized how vivid this sentence is after entering the island for some time.

Asuka was ready to turn around and run away at any time. She moved closer to the sign and read the small words written on it.

[Rule 1: Participants can take any supplies from the supply station at will, but are only allowed to leave with the amount of supplies that can be packed in a backpack.
Rule 2: The supply station is safe, but you cannot survive without fighting.

Rule 3: The price of violating the rules is automatic waiver.

Asuka withdrew her gaze from the signboard and frowned as she looked again at the plain white line in the middle of the open space. After a brief thought, she finally stepped forward and walked into the white circle that truly represented the "supply station".

The next moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in front of Asuka, and a black shadow suddenly swooped down from the sky and hit the ground, and dust flew everywhere. The next moment, the smoke and dust were swept away by the spread wings, and a flying bird appeared in front of Asuka!
Because she was too familiar with him, Asuka couldn't help but say his name: "——【Sonic Bird】?!" (End of this chapter)
