Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

"..." Murong Jiao looked at him like he was an idiot, speechless, "Then why did you play it! If someone plays two cards, you can just use two cards that counter them to beat them, why did you have to break up three fire cards to play it? Wouldn't it be better to save them to make three cards to play against the same attribute later? You're so stupid!"

Fang Xu shrank back after being scolded, and chuckled dryly, "Hehe, Big Sister is right to reprimand me. I was too hasty."

Murong Jiao ignored him, her gaze sweeping over the four people's exposed hand cards before settling on Mo Fan.

"Mo Fan, you can play." Murong Jiao raised her chin. "I see you have two fire cards in your hand, just enough."

Mo Fan nodded calmly, without saying a word.

He raised his hand and lightly tapped the void panel in front of him. Two fire-attribute cards, radiating crimson light, flew out and landed steadily on top of the two grass-attribute cards.

Chapter 163 Playing Cards Part 2

"boom!"

The moment the cards touched, the two fire cards transformed into a blazing flame, directly engulfing the grass-attribute card, and then, with undiminished momentum, crashed into the opposing Locke phantom.

The phantom trembled slightly, and a health bar appeared out of thin air above its head, visibly decreasing by a small amount.

According to the game rules, two possible outcomes have emerged at this point.

If the opponent has no cards to play or chooses not to play, then the right to play will return to Mo Fan, who can then play any type of card at will.

But in the next round, it will be the opponent's turn to play any type of card.

However, if the opponent has cards and chooses to counterattack, then it will be the opponent's turn to play cards to suppress Mo Fan in the same round.

Clearly, the phantom of Locke in the first level did not choose to back down.

The next moment, Locke's phantom raised his hand again, and two cards with a blue glow flew out, heading straight for Mo Fan's fire card.

[The opponent played: 2 Water-attribute cards]

Mo Fan's health was also reduced by a portion.

Water overcomes fire. Now, if Mo Fan were to fight alone, he would probably have to find a way to counter it using grass or electricity cards.

But this is a team mode, and there are four of them.

"Let me do it."

Just as Fang Xu was counting how many cards he had, Murong Sha's calm voice rang out in the stone chamber.

She stretched out her slender finger and gently traced it across the deck of cards in front of her.

Three water-attribute cards, all radiating a similar azure light, flew out.

According to the rules, if the opponent plays two cards of the same attribute, and you do not have a counter attribute, you need to play three cards of the same attribute to respond.

The three water cards transformed into a torrent of water in the air, completely washing away the opponent's two water cards before striking the Locke phantom hard.

The phantom's health bar dropped sharply again.

"Well done, little sister!" Murong Jiao clapped her hands excitedly, then waved her hand, "From now on, keep at this pace and bombard him in turns!"

Thus, under Murong Jiao's overall command, the four of them cooperated exceptionally well.

Although Fang Xu occasionally offered some less-than-wise suggestions for playing cards, under Murong Jiao's "kind guidance," he was quite a competent enforcer. Mo Fan and Murong Sha, on the other hand, executed these suggestions precisely, never wasting a single card.

Just a few minutes later, as Murong Jiao unleashed another combination of punches, Locke's phantom health bar was completely depleted.

[First challenge successfully completed.]

"Everyone cooperated very well in the first round!"

Murong Jiao braced herself on the card table, leaning forward, her twin ponytails swaying with the movement. She raised her chin, her gaze sweeping around like a victorious general. "You should all understand how this game works now. So, let's move on!"

Fang Xu was very supportive and immediately clapped: "Big Sister is awesome! Big Sister is leading the way!"

Mo Fan didn't speak, but just stared quietly at the center of the card table.

The light converged once more.

[Second level, now open.]

The phantom of Locke on the main seat changed. The little Locke who was holding a staff disappeared, and in its place was a female Locke phantom with long, wavy hair. She rested her chin on her hand, her posture exuding a touch of languor.

Please select a pet to change its attribute card.

Mo Fan opened the panel.

The first level was just a test; he managed to get through it with only one pet. But the second level was bound to be more difficult, so just in case, Mo Fan decided to switch to two pets.

Fingertips brushed across.

In addition to the Fire-Eyed Lizard, Mo Fan also dragged the Oasis Mammoth into the conversion box.

Stone system, grass system.

Two pets, six fixed attribute cards. Eighteen random cards remaining. This greatly improves the stability of his hand.

The cards are redistributed.

The second stage has officially begun.

"Snapped."

The illusory image of the wavy-haired female Locke was the first to attack, throwing out three cards with a flick of her wrist.

[The opponent played: 3 Ice attribute cards]

Three ice cards transformed into sharp ice spikes in mid-air, aiming directly at Fang Xu's health bar.

"Holy crap! They're focusing all their attacks on me right from the start?" Fang Xu was startled and quickly looked down at his cards.

"Don't panic." Murong Jiao glanced at him calmly. "It's just three ice tablets. Mo Fan can easily counter them."

Without wasting words, Mo Fan flicked his finger, and three stone attribute cards flew into the field.

A massive, illusory rock appeared out of thin air, smashing the three ice spikes to pieces. The aftershock struck the female Locke illusory figure, reducing its health by a significant amount.

The counterattack round has begun.

Mo Fan then played three grass-type cards. These were the standard cards brought by the Oasis Mammoth.

The female Locke phantom reacted extremely quickly, swiftly throwing out three fire-attribute cards to counter.

"Fang Xu, it's your turn!" Murong Jiao immediately gave the order.

Upon seeing this, Fang Xu immediately perked up and threw out three water-attribute cards, which transformed into giant waves that extinguished the flames.

After several rounds of combat, Mo Fan clearly felt that the female Locke phantom's card-playing logic was much smoother than in the first level. Not only was her deck of cards of higher quality, but she had also become smarter, even learning to hoard cards with specific attributes to unleash a burst of damage.

but.

Mo Fan glanced at the Murong sisters' playing area out of the corner of his eye.

Murong Jiao and Murong Sha, these two sisters, played even more smoothly this time.

I wonder if the sisters also secretly increased the number of pets they could transform in the second level.

Everyone is concealing their true strengths and adjusting their strategies based on the situation.

"boom!"

As Fang Xu played his last two fire cards, the female Locke phantom's health bar was completely depleted.

[Second challenge successfully completed.]

"Phew—" Fang Xu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at his health bar which was only a third full, and complained with a bitter face, "Why do I feel like I've been a tool all this time? You guys are all dealing damage, but whenever the opponent attacks, they all go at me. I'm just responsible for taking hits and absorbing damage."

Murong Jiao rolled her eyes at him: "Don't think like that. I'm the boss, you guys just follow my orders. Even a support character has value. Without you acting as a meat shield to draw fire, how could we deal damage so steadily?"

Fang Xu smacked his lips, and surprisingly found it made sense: "Big Sister is right, it's an honor to contribute to the team."

Mo Fan, listening from the side, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth. With that kind of brainwashing skill, it's a shame he's not involved in pyramid schemes.

They didn't give everyone much time to catch their breath.

[Third level unlocked.]

The card table changed hands again.

This time, seated in the main seat was a phantom of Locke wearing a monocle and a tuxedo. He was toying with a card in his hand, his posture as elegant as a magician's.

Card selection phase.

Mo Fan pondered for a moment and decided to stick with the Fire-Eyed Lizard and Oasis Mammoth setup. The six fixed cards provided by the two pets, plus Murong Jiao's electric attribute cards, should be enough to handle the third level. After all, Murong Jiao's electric attribute cards hadn't even appeared in the first two levels.

The cards have been decided.

The battle has begun.

But Locke in the tuxedo made a slight move, and the four of them felt the pressure.

[The opponent plays: 4 Dragon attribute cards]

Chapter 164 I am a knight, but I was also once an academy mage.

"Four cards of the same attribute?!" Fang Xu's eyes widened.

The four dragon cards conjured a roaring phantom dragon in the air, carrying a terrifying pressure that locked onto Murong Jiao.

"This level is much more difficult." Murong Sha's expression darkened.

"Does anyone have an Ice Card? Or a Dragon Card?" Murong Jiao frowned and quickly scanned her teammates' card area.

Fang Xu shook his head: "I don't have any."

Mo Fan glanced at his hand: "One Ice."

Murong Sha: "Two sheets of ice."

To suppress four cards of the same attribute, if you don't have a counter attribute, you must play five cards of the same attribute to withstand the attack. Even with ice, which is a counter attribute, you would need four cards to do so.

Mo Fan and Murong Sha together only have three cards.

The phantom dragon had already opened its massive jaws, about to bite down.

"Hmph, you're really forcing me to get serious." Murong Jiao snorted coldly.

She extended two fingers, drew a card that shimmered with lightning from the deck, and then exchanged it with Murong Sha for the two ice cards, throwing them out along with the one she already had.

Play: 3 Ice-attribute cards + 1 Electric-attribute card
