Elemental Card King.

Chapter 148 An Unexpected Joy, A Turbulent Night
Mo Chenyi withdrew.

When the distant Darkin dragon crashed to the ground, the lord died, and the monsters in the lair scattered in all directions.

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the instinct of living things.

Without any constraints, how much will they have the will to continue fighting the dragon slayer?

"That saves us some trouble," Su Chen said.

The enormous dragon's nest suddenly lost all its guards.

In terms of biological habits, dragons often like to collect a large number of rare and exotic treasures.

This trip was absolutely a great success.

Five-star rare and precious materials: 'Netherworld Frost Crystal' x2, 'Dragon Soul Magic Crystal' x2.

Multiple four-star rare treasures.

And
A huge mountain of gold and silver treasures.

“The average price of five-star rare and precious materials is generally six or seven times higher than that of four-star materials. The contents of this cave alone are more than enough to advance to the next round,” Xia He said.

It doesn't stop there.

The real culprit is that dying Darkin dragon outside.

But Su Chen didn't expect that there was a surprise waiting for him.

Ten seconds ago.

On a collapsed mountain peak, a darkblood dragon, covered in wounds and blood, lay amidst the shattered rocks, barely breathing and nearly dead.

The force of falling from the sky must have been extremely unpleasant, leaving the long, slender dragon body completely immobile.

"Little wolf, don't kill him," Xiaoling reminded him, hands on her hips, displaying the demeanor of an older sister in a group.

The female wolf that was singled out had a fiery temper and a fierce look on her face. Her long, crimson hair swayed in the wind like a leaping flame. She obediently straightened up and pulled her sharp claws out of the dragon's body.

But just then, from the cracked belly of the dragon, a small ball of light emitting a dark glow suddenly emerged from the wound.

what!
The group of elemental sisters were shocked.

The noble and imposing Golden Tiger woman's figure flashed, and despite her quick eyes and hands, she still failed to pounce on him.

With a wave of her hand, the water snake woman conjured dozens of water streams into binding ropes that appeared out of thin air, yet the dark little ball still managed to fly away.

"You little fools, hurry up and mark the magic seal!" Little Spirit was anxious; it recognized what this thing was.

Dark Seed!

The master said it was a treasure worth 300 million Alliance Coins!
Fortunately.

The little deer girl, who had lagged behind, floated down from the sky. After a brief moment of stunned silence, she casually marked the small ball that flew past her. Then, with a teleportation, her hands transformed into vines and bound the dark ball of light.

"Great job, little deer!"

Xiao Ling rushed over in a flash. To prevent the dark demon from escaping by hiding in the darkness, it immediately used the skill 'Light and Shadow Prison' after taking over the creature.

hum!
Chains woven from light and darkness bound the dark demonic seed layer by layer. Within this small cage, it not only served to restrain and imprison, but also perfectly isolated all teleportation and other similar effects.

Once everything was in order, the force that wanted to break free was finally suppressed.

"Xiao Ling is amazing."

After receiving the message through the contract, Su Chen rushed over immediately.

He hadn't expected that the Darkborn dragon would eventually catch up with the Dark Seed and swallow it whole. Perhaps because of the short time, or perhaps because it couldn't refine and absorb it through devouring, the Dark Seed remained unharmed in its stomach.

"The five-star rare treasure 'Netherworld Frost Crystal' might not sell for 3000 million Alliance Coins, but this dark-attribute Heaven and Earth Demon Seed is ridiculously expensive."

Tenfold.

but.

Su Chen would not exchange or sell it.

Keep it for personal use.

The dark-attribute spirit will thus gain a significant increase in strength.

Although he is not currently aware of the relevant enhancement and synthesis formulas, the Card Masters Association has enormous power and can help mediate. As long as he enters the national team, everything will be easy.

This can be considered a hidden perk for members of the national team over the years.

soon.

He threw out two sealing cards, which shone brightly and successfully sealed the dragon and the dark demon within them.

"A standard quality card cannot seal a giant dragon."

The organizers also took into account the possibility that some players might defeat the five-star dragon, so they specially raised the quality of the sealed cards to a very high level.

The value of a five-star Darkin Dragon may not be as high as that of a Darkbringer, but it shouldn't be too far off.

"It's a pity it's not a species of elemental dragon," Xia He sighed after arriving.

This means it's useless to Su Chen; even if he gets the contract, he won't be able to switch its attributes.

but.

In his future choices of summoned creatures, he will not favor monsters in their mature stage. Even if they are enslaved to the point of maturity, their nature will still be difficult to change.

The cunning, treacherous, perverse, and vicious are still the same as ever.

This is why it's important to cultivate a strong bond between master and pet, ideally starting from infancy. This builds an emotional connection beyond just master and servant, and prevents the creation of a slave pet that only mechanically obeys commands.

Thinking back to the guides and tutorials he used to read, Su Chen couldn't help but smile knowingly. He no longer followed the instructions by rote and tried to build a relationship with Xiao Ling step by step.

The little cutie's initiative has been somewhat effective.

Right now, it has brought him a great surprise.

"Take this Dragon Card, I'm almost out of resources," Su Chen said.

If he takes all the Dragon Cards and Demon Cards, then he'll have 90% of the spoils in his own hands.

In principle, after they reunite, the resources they acquire should ideally be split equally.

In reality, Xia He took too little.

This aloof young woman has no desire for resources and is undoubtedly a little rich girl. After all, her parents are both mythological archaeologists, a title that requires considerable strength and knowledge.

Not to mention that she also has a secret card in her possession, which further proves that she has an extraordinary background.

"Okay." Xia He thought for a moment and then took it.

In fact.

The top 32 in the Secret Realm Resource Competition are very different. The higher the score, the more good things you can get from the official exchange channels. And the final elimination round is not randomly drawn.

The general rule is that, in order to completely reduce the element of luck, the top few in the resource competition will be randomly grouped, at least not assigned to the same group or the same division.

In the first elimination round, the 1st place will be paired with the 32nd place, the 2nd place will be paired with the 31st place, and so on.

If Xia He gets few resources, even if she advances, she might encounter a strong opponent in the first round, and if she's unlucky, she might even face Su Chen right away.

Judging from the current progress, both Su Chen and Xia He are likely to have a significant surplus of resources.

At this rate, they are very likely to have to discard some four-star materials.

Soon.

The small golden mountain inside the dragon's lair was also completely absorbed by the Golden Messenger.

Metal inherently possesses both offensive and defensive properties.

The Golden Earth Spirit Princess, with her dual metal and earth attributes, is also known as the strongest defensive tank. Even Su Chen was unaware of just how terrifying the new Spirit Princess's defensive capabilities were.

"Let's go."

After resting for a while in the Dragon Ridge Mountains, the two resumed their journey.

As they ventured deeper into the core area, the danger increased dramatically. Especially after realizing that their route overlapped with that of another group of contestants, they did not rush into flying. Instead, they made sure to maintain at least 6% of their mental energy to deal with any unexpected situations.

Before nightfall, Xiaoling had spotted the Starry Sky Horse again on the distant horizon.

To test their speed, the Wind and Thunder Dancer is always ready to intercept them.

Perhaps out of fear, cowardice, or lack of confidence in victory, the Pegasus figure treading on starlight merely gazed at the scene from afar before retreating.

Half a day later, everything was fine.

"Try to get some sleep tonight and make sure you're well-rested. I have a feeling things won't be peaceful late tomorrow night," Su Chen reminded him before falling asleep. After the enemy's spatial assassins were eliminated, the two of them slept soundly that night.

10:00 AM the following day.

After a hearty breakfast, the two people and their pet resumed their journey.

A few hours later.

After passing through three more key resource points, the two of them used up all their packaging cards.

Su Chen: 30/30.

Summer Lotus: 30/30.

What's outrageous is that there are only a few high-quality four-star monster cards here; the rest are mostly valuable rare and precious resources, or at the very least, ordinary five-star dragon beast cards.

If they encounter another five-star rare and precious material, they will likely have to roughly assess its value and then discard some of the materials.

There is no greater trouble than happiness.

Due to the competition rules, only 30 sealed cards can be used as the reward settlement; not even one card more is allowed.

If you happen to run into your own teammates, then of course you should keep the good stuff in the family.

"Now it's time to pass it on; let's try to get another one," Su Chen said.

Succession: 2/6.

A blessed land: 1/15.

The former should still have a chance.

As for the latter, even without demanding that the event organizers distribute the resources evenly, they should have allocated a fair amount to the inner circle, giving some players a sense of participation.

“That must be it.” Xia He agreed wholeheartedly after the conversation.

Otherwise, it would be too outrageous.

Along the way, Su Chen frequently used his Soul Echo Secret Technique when passing important resource points and even spectacular sights, and he was able to detect any place where good fortune was hidden.

But there is none.

The only explanation is that some of the profits are shared with the players in the inner circle.

As for the more important six great dragon and phoenix inheritances, they will inevitably remain in the core circle and will not be taken into account by the players in the back row.

"The land of inheritance is likely to be allocated in each of the four directions, so that one person from one route will not be able to dominate."

Xia He pondered for a moment and said, "Right now, our greatest hope lies in the inheritance at the very center of the core circle."

This line of thinking is correct.

The central region must possess a legacy that has not been touched by others.

"It is most likely located in the area of ​​Dragon City and Silent Forest."

Su Chen glanced at the map that came with the strategy guide and roughly determined the exact location of the Central Inheritance.

Generally speaking.

Without the aid of a map navigation device, relying solely on a rough terrain map can indeed lead to some inaccuracies in precision, making it difficult to make accurate judgments.

Not to mention, both of these areas are quite vast and have significant topographical differences.

but
"The legacy will radiate a strong light to the outside world, like a beacon or a lighthouse. At that time, anyone who walks to the central area will be able to see it." Su Chen made this judgment based on his experience.

When that time comes, the top players who will be drawn there will definitely face a fierce battle.

With the encouragement of unbiased competition, the battle will be extremely fierce.

At that moment, they once again spotted the Starry Sky Horse in the distant sky.

The other side still chose to avoid battle.

After observing from afar for a while and figuring out the other party's movements, the Pegasus, treading on starlight, once again transformed into a streak of starlight and disappeared from sight.

"They are cautious, indeed," Xia He said coldly.

They are currently unaware of who else is accompanying the meditator Mo Chenyi, but it is certain that the group has almost fully assembled.

"There's no competition for resources now,"

It was nightfall on the fourth day.

The two continued forward, and just then, the mysterious and elusive ghost spirit suddenly appeared and warned them.

There is a very ugly skeleton knight.

"There's another ghost on the east side, it looks a lot like..." Xiao Ling didn't know how to describe it, so she gestured with her hands: "Anyway, it looks a bit like the spirit of that stupid guy."

this moment.

Su Chen immediately realized that this was the scout unit of Qi Hanhai, the Undead Singer.

As for the ghost that resembled the bloated robot 'Dumb Guy,' it was actually the ghost form of a five-star Steelback Iron Dragon.

The other party had undoubtedly spotted them as well, and the ghost hovered about a hundred meters to the east before stopping.

next moment.

As the night wind blew, a human face suddenly appeared on the distorted, misty spirit.

"You're welcome and safe."

Qi Hanhai, from an unknown location, used the First Ghost Technique to achieve ultra-long-distance transmission and communication.

This scene, however, had a strangely unsettling feel to it.

"We have no ill intentions in coming here, nor will we specifically seek to cause you trouble."

Amidst this indescribable sense of unease, Qi Hanhai seemed to genuinely only come to have a simple conversation.

In this regard.

Su Chen said, "You may not be able to meet up with Pei Xingwei now. What you should be worried about is us not causing you trouble."

Qi Hanhai paused for a moment.

In fact, the other party was right.

Despite the fact that the Jiangnan Provincial Team secured the third and fourth picks, their starting directions are to the north and west. If they are lucky, they should meet up with the team around the fourth night.

Unfortunately, it's unclear whether Pei Xingwei himself got lost, as they haven't been able to reunite for a long time.

Therefore, Qi Hanhai slaughtered a large number of demons and resurrected them as ghosts, sending out his own scouts in multiple directions.

"You're right. To be honest, I only have Pei Xingcang by my side. If it really comes down to a fight, the two of us would probably not be a match for each other."

"Regardless of the circumstances."

"I'm here to express goodwill. In the East Lake area, all two of my ghost scouts were killed. I can assure you that that's where the Northern Fallen Legion's trio is based."

"All right."

That's all I'll tell you.

After Qi Hanhai told the truth, perhaps he really just came to have a chat. As the terrifying face disappeared, the ghost a hundred meters away also drifted away.

have to say.

The other party is indeed very clever.

The East Lake area in the distance is not far from this forest. If a battle breaks out between them, it is very likely that outsiders will benefit from it.

Even Mo Chenyi, the meditator who had been hanging in the distance, would most likely not miss this opportunity.

“There are people in several directions around us now,” Su Chen said.

This night is unlikely to be peaceful.

In this regard.

They had slept well and were well-rested the night before, and had no intention of sleeping in this dangerous environment tonight.

The Secret Realm Tournament will end at 12 noon tomorrow, and it's almost certain that some people will be impatient and want to make their moves early.

"Let's establish perimeter security first."

If someone breaks the dynamic balance, it will definitely lead to a major reshuffling of the power dynamics among various teams in this large region.
