Chapter 445 Rules of the Flowing Shadow Plank Road Outpost

"A counterattack is coming! Run!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, their voice trembling.

The moment the Illusionary Collapse Array blocked the beam of light, the [Dreamy Collapse Shadow - Griffin] located below the array moved. It did not counterattack Shang Yu, but instead flapped its wings and soared into the highest sky!

"Wow—!"

A piercing shriek, sharp enough to split metal and shatter stone, was even more penetrating than Shang Yu's cannon fire, directly piercing everyone's eardrums and making their heads buzz!
Immediately afterwards, a huge golden halo spread out rapidly from the griffin's center!
As the halo swept across, every single one of the thousands of extraordinary individuals at the fortress entrance felt a sudden heaviness, as if pressed down by an invisible hand. The surging energy within their bodies was frozen, and many people's legs went weak, almost causing them to kneel on the ground. They felt their strength being rapidly drained, and a numbness that penetrated to the bone spread throughout their bodies.

"Holy crap! I can't move!"

"The energy is being suppressed... What kind of hellish domain is this?!"

Zhenyan, the elegant flute player who had remained silent in Shangyu's team, was now kneeling on the ground, supporting himself with his hands. Veins bulged on his neck as he struggled to withstand the shock and pressure. He raised his head and roared at the black-armored battle spirit high in the sky: "Blackbird! Can't you at least discuss things with us before you mess around like this!"

Within the battle spirit, Shang Yu's voice amplified through the halo: "It's alright, I have full resistance."

This seemingly casual remark ignited everyone's anger.

"And what about us!"

Thousands of angry gazes shot into the sky.

Shang Yu's voice rang out again, tinged with impatience: "I told you, I have full resistance."

"..."

After a deathly silence came a torrent of curses.

"Holy crap! Shang Gou!"

"Don't let me catch you in this duel, I'm going to play three [Lava Demons] right now!"

He could curse and swear, but he couldn't move his body. He even had trouble mobilizing his energy and could only howl in place.

Li Guanqi, standing in the crowd, frowned deeply.

This pressure had the same effect on him. He tried clenching his fist and felt a slight numbness in his fingertips. What made his heart sink even more was that the epic card he had refined, [Secret Power 21 - World], had fallen silent.

The epic-level [Griffin] has an ability... that is silence? It can even affect Symbiotic Cards?

Fortunately, this suppression only targets inactive channels; the effect of the silence gradually weakens as one approaches an active channel.

Everyone felt as if they had been granted a pardon, panting heavily. When they looked back at the six figures in the sky, their eyes were filled with lingering fear.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?"

"Even Shang Gou can't handle it."

"Let's go! Let's use the emergency exit!"

"So be it, it's better than being crippled by a griffin's roar!"

The crowd began to stir, turning around and rushing towards the safe route entrance provided by the official alliance navigation.

Li Guanqi put away his mechanical creations, patted Mickey's head, and said to Tang Xin and Letong, "Let's go to the beacon tower."

The thousands of people retreated in a grand procession toward the nearby stronghold, a scene that was both spectacular and somewhat comical.

Li Guanqi and his group of five arrived at the beacon tower outpost. Le Tong was panting heavily, her face pale.

"Phew... Ha... I'm totally impressed by Teacher Shang Yu." She recovered, her face full of utter despair. "Does he think the words 'All Resistance' tattooed on his face look really cool?"

"This is it, I'm doomed. I'll get roared by a griffin as soon as I leave the safe zone. I'm really scared."

"But it's really cool!" Mickey's eyes lit up.

"Things have come to this," said Qiqi quietly, her tone calm. "Let's set up the stall first."

"Setting up a stall" is a slang term used by the administrative team, referring to the rapid establishment of temporary mobile bases.

Li Guanqi did not participate in the discussion. He kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings. Only after confirming that it was safe did he activate the supercomputing ring, take out a silver metal cube the size of a suitcase from his storage space, and toss it away casually.

Mickey took the cube, placed it on the ground, and skillfully manipulated it on the side panel.

"Crack! Click!"

The metal cube emitted a crisp mechanical clicking sound, and four supports popped out and firmly planted themselves in the ground. Then, folded lightweight alloy plates unfolded like petals, splicing together to form a hemispherical frame of about ten square meters in the blink of an eye.

Tang Xin and Le Tong didn't even have time to complain. They stepped forward to help open the energy conduction line and connect it to the slot in the frame.

Qiqi then took out another flat device and placed it in the center of the base.

"Om-"

With a deep hum, a pale blue energy film lit up from the frame, forming a semi-transparent energy shield that isolated the outside wind and sand from potential dangers.

In less than five minutes, a small but complete mobile base was set up.

"Ah~ I'm alive!"

Letong let out a strange cry, pounced on the cot that had just extended from the wall, sank into it, then took out her phone, put on a thin helmet, and happily connected to the Metaverse live stream.

"Family, come and see how to prepare the food!" She hummed a little tune as she watched, swinging her legs back and forth in the air.

Mickey wasn't as relaxed as her; he was squatting on the ground, adjusting the camera in his hand, muttering to himself, "The lighting in this godforsaken place is so chaotic..."

Qiqi found a chair and sat down, resting her chin on one hand, looking at the gray sky outside the energy shield, lost in thought.

"Xin! Come and watch the live stream! A team with bad luck has run into [Dream Shattered Shadow - Goblin]!" Letong suddenly shouted excitedly.

Tang Xin's eyes lit up, clearly intrigued. She took a half-step closer, but then seemed to remember something, paused, and unconsciously frowned.

She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, a helpless bitter smile on her face.

"No, I still have to write."

After saying that, she walked to the table in the corner and took out a mechanical keyboard that gleamed with a faint light from the supercomputing ring.

Writers need to eat too, not to mention she has a child to take care of.

The crisp knocking sounds soon echoed through the stronghold, creating a strange symphony with Yue Tong's occasional strange cries.

Li Guanqi glanced at Tang Xin in surprise, wanting to go over and strike up a conversation to see what she had written, but he couldn't move his feet. That's how relationships between men and women are; before things are made clear, the two can be friends, carefree and arm in arm.

Once the truth is revealed, it can easily lead to a situation where one is caught in a dilemma.

Li Guanqi withdrew his gaze, and the ripples in his heart quickly subsided. He walked to his cot, sat down, and took out a thin helmet from his supercomputing space.

We've just entered the first level of the safe zone and have nothing to do for the time being, so I'll take this opportunity to deal with some matters in the metaverse.

Helmet on, consciousness connected.

[Connecting to the metaverse...]

[Identity verification successful...]

Welcome back, son-in-law of Silver City.

The light and shadow shifted before his eyes, and the next second, Li Guanqi's consciousness appeared in a virtual space filled with futuristic technology.

As soon as he went online, he was overwhelmed with messages.

Beep beep beep beep beep—!
The notification icon in the upper right corner of my vision was flashing wildly, the red number went straight up to "99+", and the urgent notification sound was so loud it seemed to burst my eardrums, conveying an overwhelming sense of resentment.

He opened the team channel.

Good guy.

The screen was filled with messages tagging him, all in unison, like a summoning ceremony of some kind of cult.

Silver City Palace Master: "@Silver City Son-in-Law, where are you?"

Silver City Butler Arias: "@Silver City Son-in-Law, where are you?"

Ariana, the Summoner of the Silver City: "@Son-in-law of the Silver City, where are you?"

"..."

"..." A series of repeated messages flooded the screen, the last message having been sent just seconds ago.

"Disappeared right after the start of the game? Are you kidding me?"

"If you're going to play us, shouldn't you only do it at the crucial moment?"

"traitor!"

"Where is the person dead?!"

A series of exclamation marks could reach out from the screen and strangle him.

Li Guanqi gave an awkward laugh and replied casually, "I'm here."

The moment the message was sent, there was a brief moment of silence in the team channel.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce storm of questions swept in.

Silver City Palace Master: "?"

Arias, the butler of the Silver City: "?"

Ariana, the Summoner of the Silver City: "?"

Three people, three question marks, three tones, but the core idea is highly unified.

Li Guanqi's eyelids twitched, and he quickly typed an explanation.

"Gathering intelligence offline took a bit of time." He didn't go into details, then changed the subject, "What's the situation now?"

Palace Master of Silver City: "The situation is that there are too many people. Come and help! We can't hold on any longer!"

"Give me the coordinates."

"The coordinates are the Flowing Shadow Walkway base, Pulse Circular Chamber! Come quick! Lots of unknown AOE attacks!"

"Don't worry, I'm coming right away."

"I'm in such a hurry—!"

Li Guanqi disconnected the communication, calmly opened the wardrobe, and selected the most beautiful set—the Silver Princess of the Labyrinth City.

The moment the skin was applied, a sense of power surged through my entire body.

A man still needs his own armor.

……

For this joint event, "Memories Revisited," Dream Collapse and the Alliance have set up a total of 128 strongholds, with 64 of them located on the outermost and most competitive first layer.

The Liuying Plank Road stronghold is the most popular and chaotic of these 64 strongholds.

the reason is simple.

This base doesn't hold one-on-one duels; instead, it's a pure card battle royale.

Here, you can throw a card into the crowd at will, and if it hits, it will burn a whole bunch of people to death. It feels just like playing a mowing game, incredibly satisfying.

After all, not everyone participates in activities aiming for the championship; most people know this in their hearts and are just there for fun.

The most essential meaning of the activity is to have fun.

At this moment, the Flowing Shadow Walkway base and the Pulse Ring Chamber have been completely transformed into a living hell.

"Take this [Fireball]!"

A player raised his staff high, conjured a fireball the size of a washbasin, and smashed it into the crowd, blasting out a burst of white light.

"Hehehe... [The Pitfall of Purgatory]! Die! All of you die! Hahahaha—"

In the shadows, a green-haired loli grinned maliciously as giant mouths filled with sharp teeth opened on the ground, swallowing several unfortunate souls.

"Flame King—God! Heaven! Burn!"

With a roar from the red-haired man, a raging inferno swept across the entire area.

"Kulipo, save me!"

A girl, clutching a fluffy chestnut ball, screamed as she was struck by lightning and shattered into a stream of data.

The scene was a chaotic mess of demons dancing wildly, but that's what Biantana looked like eight hundred years ago. Back then, there was no dueling culture, and nobody knew how to use magic cards. They just crushed the cards to release their limited spiritual power.

This is why this joint event is named "Revisiting Old Memories".

"Whoosh!" A silver streak of light descended from the sky and landed precisely outside the door of the pulse annular chamber.

As the light faded, Li Guanqi's figure became visible.

At the same time, a semi-transparent rules panel popped up in front of him.

"Rules of the Flowing Shadow Plank Road Outpost"

1. Please bring your deck into the stronghold. The deck configuration is the same as in duels. The deck cannot be modified while inside the stronghold.

2. Both character attacks and magic card attacks will cause a decrease in health. When out of combat, health will recover at a rate of 1% per second. When health reaches zero, the player will be forcibly removed from the stronghold and will not be able to re-enter the Flowing Shadow Walkway for four hours.

3. You can choose five cards as your initial magic battle cards, and draw one card from your preset deck every thirty seconds. Defeating other players or guards will earn you points.

4. Players with 1,000 points can proceed to the next stronghold, and points can be transferred between team members.

5. The map for this event is a 1:1 recreation of the Dream Collapse Realm. Please be aware of the difference between the virtual and the real world.

Li Guanqi glanced at the rules, focusing on the second, third, and fourth rules.

Choose five cards, draw one card every thirty seconds, and pass the level with 1000 points.

It seems pretty fun, but I don't know how many points you get for each kill. It's not explicitly stated in the rules, but it probably depends on the person you defeat.

Pure card battles, not duels, where combos with long chains of attack are basically useless.

It seems I can't use "Hubert" because the rules are different, and I don't know how to use "cemetery".

"Where are you?! Come quick and save me! I'm about to die!"

In the team voice chat, the background noise of the Silver City Palace Master was filled with explosions and screams, indicating that the battle was extremely fierce.

"Okay, okay, don't rush me." Li Guanqi replied casually, his fingers rapidly swiping across the virtual panel, while his mind was racing.

This is my first time playing this pure card battle mode. How should I build my deck?
The usual combo chains are definitely not useful anymore. By the time you finish defeating the enemy, you're already dead. The pace is too slow, and the situation is chaotic. All the hard work you put into building up your territory might be wiped out by an AOE attack that appears out of nowhere in the next second.

We need to find some simple, straightforward, and immediately effective cards.

Suddenly, his fingers paused, and an idea popped into his head: instead of thinking about how to attack, why not... let others take the initiative to "attack" him?
Giving up thinking is the optimal solution.

Without further hesitation, Li Guanqi finalized the deck configuration within a minute.

He looked at the final deck list and couldn't help but grin.

There are an extra 15 bullet cards, and the entire main deck is a sea of ​​red, all of them are trap cards!
"I've assembled the team." Li Guanqi announced in the team voice chat, "Whoever is available, show your team logo and the usual traps, and I'll throw some stuff over there for you."

"Me! Me! Me!" Ariana's voice rang out, filled with the relief of surviving a close call. "I just hid in a corner to recover my health. I sent you the coordinates! I'm surrounded! Help!"

"I'm coming right now." Li Guanqi's lips curled into a slight smile. "Get ready to receive it."
