Elemental Card King.

Chapter 220 Tactical Gameplay, Open the Door and Kill
"test!"

Upon being teleported to the first underground level of the underground holy city, almost all the contestants immediately ensured that their wireless communication devices were working properly.

As with previous team competitions, all team members were equipped with wireless communication devices.

"Test contact."

Su Chen was no exception; he immediately put on wireless earphones and tested the stability of communication with the other team members using the captain's command.

Immediately.

Xia He: "Normal."

Tang Nianwei: "Normal."

Pei Xingwei: "Normal."

In accordance with their team rankings, each member briefly stated that their communication links were working without any issues.

"it is good."

"Next, observe the surrounding area and report your location as much as possible."

Su Chen said.

The entire team has now completely scattered and descended to the first underground level of the underground holy city. If they want to reunite, they should try to use landmarks as reference points to determine the approximate location of each person.

Also at this time.

Su Chen glanced at the environment. The dome, relying on a certain type of plasma sphere system, simulated the corresponding stellar sunlight, and was also decorated with starlight, which could be considered a replica of a starry sky background.

The surrounding scenery and atmosphere, however, appeared somewhat desolate and lifeless.

The ruins resembled a scene from an apocalyptic disaster, with numerous corpses visible. Only moss and some unidentified plants stubbornly grew from the desolation.

Hmm. There's another equally tenacious bug.

Su Chen's sharp gaze immediately spotted a tiny insect, no bigger than a grain of rice, gnawing at a leaf a hundred meters away.

He didn't pay much attention and looked around.

"This is a residential area."

The underground sanctuary had never been used for testing and evaluation in the competition operation before.

Shortly before the competition, the event organizers distributed a rough terrain analysis map to each person.

As Chairman Yao and others initially predicted, the underlying principle remained the same: setting up obstacles, creating checkpoints, and introducing various artificial or wild monsters.

hum!
hum!
As the two summoning lights bloomed, the figures of Xiao Ling and Xiao Yao were released from the cards one after another.

grumble!
A clear phoenix cry rang out, and Xiao Yao, descending in the form of a dark phoenix, appeared in mid-air with great poise and elegance. Her feathers shimmered with a magnificent black light, making her look unique and beautiful.

As for Xiao Ling, it appeared in the form of a light spirit doll, and it excitedly circled around Su Chen.

The general situation had already been communicated in advance.

For the next seven days, they will survive in this unfamiliar underground holy city.

"Xiao Ling and Xiao Yao fly to a high place to find nearby signs and locate the teleportation entrance leading to the second underground level."

Su Chen glanced at the ground beneath his feet. Just now, his spiritual consciousness had been extending downwards, but it was ultimately unable to penetrate to the next level.

As expected, there are no shortcuts.

It is understood that the first underground level of the Underground Holy City is a vast underground space capable of supporting tens of millions of Gutez people, and its structure is indeed not so easily destroyed.

According to the strategy guide, most of the entrances and exits on each floor are spatial portals, and there may also be large gaps left over from the Zerg invasion ten thousand years ago.

"Leave it to Xiaoling."

The demonic doll evolved from the five elements, summoning all five elemental sisters.

The duration of this clone technique has been extended to 4 minutes after being cracked, and it can be used again in about 20 minutes. At the same time, it can obtain 99% of the original body's panel attributes, making its effects and characteristics extremely outrageous.

Believe it or not, it even seems to have gained some intelligence, making it less mechanical and rigid.

"Find the landmark."

"It's a very large building!"

In an instant, at Xiaoling's call, the elemental sisters transformed into multiple arrows and rushed in all directions.

puff!
Just as Xiao Yao had soared to a height of over a hundred meters, she unleashed a dark beam of light, blasting apart a feathered serpent that suddenly flew in from between residential high-rise buildings.

grumble.
Xiao Yao lowered her long, elegant swan-like neck, and a hint of confusion appeared in her bright, black diamond-like eyes.

It remembered its master saying that it was going to seal away the monster, but it didn't know if it had done something wrong.

"It's alright, we'll talk about it after we reach the seventh level underground."

Su Chen smiled. Each person only had thirty sealing cards, and he wouldn't waste these resources.

"A four-star purple monster right off the bat."

As Su Chen watched the feathered serpent transform into a pile of limbs and fragments falling from the sky, he clearly sensed that the difficulty of this elimination round was bound to skyrocket.

As Xiao Yao flew to a high place, under the interference of a wave of chaotic dark will, all the feathered serpents that emerged from the ruins of the high-rise building were genuinely weakened and had their intelligence and defense reduced. Then, under the pervasive dark decaying power, they were completely annihilated.

The efficiency of clearing out the monsters in this wave was undeniably fast.

Xiao Ling attempted to use the power of the Light Revelation to find the underground entrance in one step.

Um.
However, the little guy kept his eyes closed and his brows furrowed, clearly unable to grasp the mysterious prayer message.

"Use the revelation effect again later," Su Chen reassured him.

After all, the guiding and navigation properties of this spiritual light demon seed have a certain range of effectiveness.

To a certain extent, if that sense of enlightenment cannot be detected, it likely means that there are no underground portals within this four-kilometer radius.

We are blocked here.

A possible creation of Wood Spirit Puppet clones has been discovered.

The little wood spirit, teleported back from the distant east in an instant by the magic markings deployed in advance, timidly tugged at Su Chen's hand.

Soon.

Their master and pet arrived at a collapsed temple, which covered a large area and had many half-broken and collapsed stone statues around it. This should be a religious sanctuary.

"This is definitely a good landmark reference."

Su Chen took out his phone, and the previous strategy guide and map had been completely imported into it.

Through built-in holographic projection technology, the real-world topographic map of the underground level is perfectly displayed in the air.

After comparing the residential areas behind him repeatedly, Su Chen also determined his exact location.

In addition, the map also marks the location of the portal to the next level.

There are a total of 50 doors widely distributed on the first underground level of the Holy City.

The organizers certainly didn't do it out of pure goodwill; such a necessary stop is definitely the best place for unrestricted PvP.

"Let's go."

Su Chen didn't linger and immediately headed towards the nearest underground teleportation portal.

Soon.

The Xuanhuang team members also reported their respective coordinates.

The eight people were located in completely different parts of the country, much farther away than expected.

Grouping up with multiple players at the start of the game is undoubtedly a huge waste of time.

Two days might not be enough.

"The original plan has changed."

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen said, "Everyone, make full use of your individual strengths and head towards the nearest teleportation portal. Be careful, as there is a high probability that someone will try to cause trouble or ambush you at the teleportation portal."

As the captain, he had the absolute power to make decisions unilaterally.

This change in the plan undoubtedly depends heavily on individual ability.

"clear."

"OK."

"Hehe, what are you afraid of? Let's see who dares to block the door."

The smug tone was undoubtedly Cao Zheng's. Once a team's lineup meets the requirement of four eliminations, the entire team is eliminated and leaves the competition.

"Stop being playful and take this seriously, lest you drag the whole team down," Pei Xingwei couldn't help but remind him at this moment.

“I understand,” Cao Zheng said seriously.

"Keep in touch if necessary," Su Chen said.

Radio silence will not be entered unless absolutely necessary.

However, there's no need to turn on your microphone unless absolutely necessary.

After learning all the information about the team members, Su Chen continued his journey without stopping.

He personally piloted the Shadow Leopard Spirit and activated the Dimensional Pocket to bring Xiao Ling and Xiao Yao into another dimension.

Since activating the weapon requires a four-star energy card, and only seven cards are provided throughout the entire elimination round, Su Chen did not overuse them, saving them whenever possible.

A terrifying fact is that after he mastered the Primordial Elemental Technique, the combination of 'Elemental Absorption' and the light absorption effect of the Sun Observation Technique, along with the terrifying boost from the dual external techniques, was enough to keep his mental energy on standby for 24 hours with the three cards activated.

45 minute later.

He teleported at high speed from time to time, passing through several residential areas, ignoring the feathered serpents and demon scale serpents that attacked from time to time, and finally arrived at the logistics distribution area on the first underground level.

As the name suggests.

There are many faded shipping containers on display here, and some of the material transport belts have completely exposed the optical fiber structure that has long been corroded.

"One."

"Both of you."

"Including the one on the right rear, there are three in total."

Su Chen's spiritual perception accurately captured a human's life force.

Even though he found the portal location immediately, the distance from the starting point wasn't ideal, so he naturally couldn't be considered first.

but.

The two who arrived first clearly spotted each other, and a stalemate ensued to some extent.

Both sides stood there awkwardly, remaining vigilant but unwilling to move forward.

Ah!
One very simple question is, just figuring out who comes first and who comes last is a huge challenge.

No one wants to leave their back to an unknown opponent, let alone what if the opponent enters the portal first and then turns around to block it?
This issue had already received considerable attention and consideration from all the teams well before the knockout stage assessment.

The competition format is equivalent to unrestricted combat and encourages players to fight each other, which means that every portal leading to the next level is extremely dangerous.

In this regard.

Su Chen didn't stop for even a moment.

He walked through the restricted area between the two places with an attitude of complete disregard for others.

"This"

Amidst the ruins, a warrior from Fusang, clad in silver armor, gritted his teeth and slowly drew his katana from its sheath.

But the courage in his heart was not enough for him to charge forward and unleash the long-prepared sword strike.

Because the young man in front of them, who exuded the aura of a Dark Lord, had just demonstrated his strength as a high-level card master by using his sensory probing ability.

This is a core member of the team.

It takes courage to take action against him.

"How did he say?"

The Japanese samurai held back for a moment, seemingly needing his opponent, with whom he had just been locked in a stalemate, to make the decision for him.

"He's afraid to make a move?"

same.

Inside a storage tank, the top-tier assassin from the Black Mountain plane gritted his teeth.

To be honest, he was just one step away from becoming a high-level card master. Now, watching this aloof young man without any driving armor walk through, he was also caught in a great struggle.

At first glance, it seems to be full of flaws.

But my inner instinct tells me not to get carried away.

What if, like the mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole behind it?
If I go all out and that samurai doesn't help, what if I end up doing all the work for nothing?

Furthermore, given this guy's arrogant attitude, I'm afraid I'm no match for him at all.

Game theory is like a layered cake, leaving you hesitant and uncertain.

In the midst of such hesitation, the opportunity to strike was fleeting.

"Hey!"

The Japanese samurai and the Black Mountain assassins, with wavering minds, watched as this highly skilled and daring card master vanished into the spatial portal.

"Damn it, what did you do? What if he blocks the door?"

This time.

The genius assassin from the Black Mountain dimension was somewhat losing his composure and started cursing loudly from a distance.

"idiot!"

The Japanese samurai were no pushovers either, and they started arguing back.

Thanks to the built-in translation and transcription function of the headset, real-time communication can be guaranteed between people from two different countries, or even between different races.

It is also because the current translation level is too high that the Blue Star Alliance has been unable to promote Esperanto globally.

Oh shit
It's a simple matter that can be handled with a single component, so forcing everyone to learn an additional language is just pointless. Furthermore, due to the intentional or unintentional obstruction from the conservative forces of major powers, Esperanto has not been promoted smoothly among the superpowers.

"I regret it."

The genius assassin from Montenegro was somewhat annoyed. In the end, his decision not to make a move only resulted in a stalemate, and he had also planted a huge time bomb for himself.

Because no one can guarantee that the high-level card master won't block the door.

"This competition format and this testing venue are absolutely disgusting."

The Japanese samurai were also acutely aware of this, and the tactical maneuvering involved was a real headache.

If things continue to stalemate, more people might arrive, and the situation could easily spiral out of control and become a complete mess.

"Fight."

After pondering for a moment, he decided to use a trump card to save his life, directly activating a near-invincible effect to enter the spatial portal.

This is the most appropriate way to handle it.

just
Before I could even get up.

In the perceptions of the Japanese samurai and even the Black Mountain assassins, another human card master of unknown origin has quietly arrived.

This is bad.

The three of them seemed to have formed a stable triangle, achieving a balance, but none of them dared to set off prematurely.

Su Chen was naturally unaware of this somewhat comical scene.

In fact.

The moment he stepped through the spatial portal and arrived at the second underground level.

boom! !

A tremendous and powerful energy surge immediately exploded on the ground.

Someone is lying in ambush.

"I waited for half an hour without thinking, but finally I caught one."

As a human card master who plays a mechanical deck, he deployed identification-triggered mines outside in advance.

"excuse me."

However, when he realized that the effect had not hit, the card player who was controlling the card remotely panicked and finally chose to speed up his escape.
