Who said this card is outrageous?

The group quickly reunited, and the man spoke first, announcing his identity and team number. He said he was from Qing'an City, which was under the jurisdiction of Qi'an City, named Zhou Jingyao, a fourth-level martial artist, and the vice-captain.

Then another woman introduced herself, saying that her name was Lin Lei, a fourth-tier elemental mage, and the vice-captain of another team.

To prove their identities, the two presented their identity badges, which were uniformly distributed by the provincial capital, and the serial numbers and anti-counterfeiting marks matched.

Seeing this, Zhang Che was already seven or eight parts convinced, and then he and Ruan Ruoshi proved their identities.

After establishing initial trust, Zhou Jingyao told Zhang Che that the two of them had come out to find help.

Three days ago, his team discovered that the energy fluctuations near a volcano in the southwest were much higher than those in the surrounding area, and concluded that there must be something good there.

Finally, the whole team waited there for two days and confirmed that at least two suspected Tier 6 plant materials were being guarded by a group of dragon-born creatures.

"Dragon descendant?" Zhang Che asked.

“Yes, they look like some kind of reptilian, about two meters tall, walking upright, and have simple tools and weapons,” Zhou Jingyao briefly described the situation.

Such a large piece of meat was clearly beyond what Zhou Jingyao and his team could handle on their own, so their captain immediately decided to seek help.

Lin Lei's team was the first to be recruited.

However, since there was clearly more than one Tier 5 Transcendent among that group of lizardmen, it would be difficult to defeat them even if they gathered two teams together, so they had no choice but to continue going out to find teammates.

After understanding the general situation, Zhang Che did not immediately express his opinion, but later he heard Zhou Jingyao say that in addition to those sixth-order materials, there were many other fourth-order or fifth-order extraordinary materials there, including some materials that Zhang Che needed for his research domain card.

Zhang Che was indeed tempted and immediately prepared to go back and gather manpower.

Of course, it was also because of his high skill and boldness that Zhang Che felt confident he could handle the situation even if the two groups on the other side were really up to something.

……

The crater was about half a day's journey from where they met. The closer they got to the target area, the higher the concentration of fire-attribute energy in the air became, and the temperature gradually rose to a new level.

The air conditioning badges on Fu Xing and the others also began to show signs of malfunctioning after working continuously for nearly three hours.

You should know that in other places, this would take at least six hours to happen.

Just to be on the safe side, Zhou Jingyao led Zhang Che down a gentle slope along the edge of the crater for a few minutes before stopping behind a protruding rock wall.

He pointed down: "Right there."

Looking in the direction he pointed, there were indeed two plants nearly half a meter tall growing at the bottom of the depression near the volcanic wall.

The stem is deep purple with a layer of crystallized patterns on the surface. The leaves are large and thick with a deep red halo around the edges. The surrounding soil and rocks also have a reddish-brown color, as if they have been soaked in high concentrations of fire-attribute energy for a long time.

It looks very open!

At this point, Zhang Che temporarily lowered his guard against Zhou Jingyao and his companion. After all, the items were already laid out there, and even if they were to turn against him, they would have to wait until after they had eliminated the lizardmen.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of intelligence, Zhang Che and his group fell into a trap set by Zhou Jingyao. Just as the group was about to leave the volcano to rejoin the two men's team, three lizardmen suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

Not only was the leader a genuine fifth-tier being, but the other two lizardmen were also quite strong, definitely among the best of the fourth-tier transcendents.

His height of over three meters and his strong physique alone are enough to prove everything. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a dragon descendant. At least Zhou Jingyao did not lie about this.

What surprised Zhang Che even more was that Zhou Jingyao and Lin Lei actually stood next to the lizardmen, acting as if they were partners.

"The Eye of Truth?!"

Zhang Che immediately thought of those who had surrendered.

However, his question went unanswered, and the two sides immediately engaged in battle.

Originally, with Zhang Che and Song Ruolan working together, even if they couldn't defeat the fifth-tier extraordinary creature, they could definitely lead everyone to a safe retreat.

However, if we add the two people who are suspected to be the Eye of Truth, one is at the fifth rank and four are at the fourth rank, this lineup is already beyond Zhang Che and his group's ability to deal with.

Fortunately, apart from Li Yao, all the lower-level extraordinary beings in the team had purple cards made by Zhang Che, so there was no need to worry about any accidents happening for the time being.

Li Yao was protected by Song Ruolan, with a fire-breathing dragon standing beside them, directly suppressing a fourth-tier lizardman.

In other battlefields, Ruan Ruoshi's Squid King was waving its tentacles to unleash a powerful mental attack, briefly holding off Lin Lei's offensive; Fu Xing raised the card in his hand, and a giant Tyrannosaurus appeared, instantly suppressing a lizardman.

Finally, there was Pan Tingting. Facing Zhou Jingyao, a fourth-tier superhuman, she summoned the [Wings of Weapon] as always, and she was also the most confident among them.

However, this time they were facing top experts among the fourth-tier transcendents, and they came prepared, making them completely different from the guys Zhang Che dealt with in Binhai City before.

So apart from Song Ruolan, the other three are still struggling in their battles. They can only barely hold on and won't be defeated anytime soon.

Zhang Che was entangled by a fifth-tier transcendent creature and couldn't break free at all. Fortunately, he was wearing the Black Rhino Armor and had the [Harp Girl - Armor] assisting him, which allowed him to barely hold on.

During the battle, he unexpectedly discovered that although the other party could not speak human language, the various roars it made from time to time, as well as its lively expressions and eyes, all proved that the other party was likely an intelligent creature with a non-human appearance.

This is troublesome...

An intelligent enemy is far more difficult to deal with than a simple beast.

Moreover, due to the abundant fire-attribute extraordinary energy near the volcano, the water-attribute power was severely suppressed. Even though Zhang Che used the [Rain Summoning] card, he could only create a light drizzle in an area of ​​less than twenty square meters.

Both the area and the rainfall are incomparable to what we experienced when we used it outdoors.

In terms of effect alone, the card Zhang Che made is already very powerful, but its effectiveness in the current battle is very limited.

Chapter 251 The Trump Card

The battle between the two sides intensified. As time passed, Zhang Che felt the pressure on him increase dramatically, and his mental strength was almost less than half of what it used to be.

If this drags on any longer, it will only become more and more disadvantageous for them.

With this in mind, Zhang Che decided to risk exposing the existence of the [Demon Chain] and kill it while it was losing its supernatural power!

He could actually use the super explosives he obtained in Binhai City to solve the problem, but when he thought of the effective kill radius of several tens of meters that Su Ran had promised him, he finally decided to give up.

Otherwise, he and Song Ruolan might have survived, but the other four would most likely either die or be seriously injured.

The cost is too high; it's unnecessary.

However, Zhang Che wasn't the only one who thought this way. The others weren't stupid either; they could all see that their side was at a disadvantage and didn't know if the other side had any backup plans.

Can't wait any longer!

Fu Xing was the first to make a move. Without saying a word, he pulled out something that looked like a talisman from his pocket and aimed it at the fourth-tier extraordinary creature that was fighting with the Tyrannosaurus Beast.

At the same time, Tyrannomon, which had already received the command through the mental link, suddenly jumped to the side, leaving its opponent standing there somewhat bewildered.

A white beam of light surged toward it, tearing it apart completely before it could react.

"Phew, Grandma's treasure really works..." Before she could finish speaking, Fu Xing lost her balance and fell to the side.

In the end, Greymon transformed back into Agumon and came to help him up.

The sudden end of the battle quickly attracted the attention of others, and Pan Tingting immediately seized the opportunity to coordinate [Wings of Weapon] with another [Black Feather].

The next second, a tall crow-man clad in heavy black armor appeared in front of her, taking the place of [Wings of Weapon].

Black Feather - Armored Wings!

Zhou Jingyao was completely dumbfounded. How could his opponent have changed so suddenly, and this one was much stronger than the previous one?

"You had a lot of fun just now, didn't you?" Pan Tingting's face showed a hint of madness. "Then you can die now!"

"How is this possible? You can actually use a fourth-tier card directly!" Faced with the attack of [Armor Wings], Zhou Jingyao retreated rapidly, looking at Pan Tingting in disbelief.

The gap between each major tier is difficult to eliminate, and the legendary card maker of that time was able to advance to the super tier simply because he created purple and orange cards that could somewhat bridge this gap.

However, the young girl in front of us has forged a completely different path, summoning a genuine Tier 4 card with her extraordinary lower-level strength.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jingyao's gaze towards Pan Tingting instantly became fiery—could this girl be the next super card maker?

Although reason told him that this was most likely just wishful thinking, no matter what, even if there was only a slight possibility, it was worth taking the risk!

Without saying a word, Zhou Jingyao took out a bottle and poured the medicine inside directly into his mouth.

Then his aura surged, actually surpassing that of [Armor Wings].

"what?!"

Pan Tingting was also shocked to see this, and then she saw that [Armor Wings] was being suppressed by Zhou Jingyao after his outburst, and could only barely hold on by relying on the armor on his body and the advantage of flight.

She is not yet able to maintain the [Armor Wings] for an extended period of time. Although the medicine Zhou Jingyao just drank clearly had a time limit, Pan Tingting dared not gamble on who could last longer.

Because if a misjudgment leads to problems on one's own side, it could have an irreparable impact on the overall battle situation.

"I have no choice but to take a gamble!" The girl made up her mind almost immediately and summoned another Tier 3 [Black Feather] card.

"Let me show you the results of my training over this period of time!" Pan Tingting roared in her heart, but her hands moved without slowing down. The newly summoned [Black Feather] and [Armor Wings] transformed into a stream of light and merged together.

Seeing the scene exactly the same as when the [Armor Wings] appeared, Zhou Jingyao was clearly frightened and immediately rushed towards Pan Tingting with all his might.

No matter what methods are used, cards ultimately depend on the user for their existence. As long as this little girl is dealt with, everything else is not a problem.

Zhou Jingyao was incredibly fast, reaching Pan Tingting almost instantly. However, due to summoning a new card, she had lost all ability to resist and could only watch helplessly as the long sword in Zhou Jingyao's hand drew closer and closer to her.

She instinctively closed her eyes.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and Pan Tingting seemed to sense something. When she opened her eyes, she saw the tip of the knife stop less than ten centimeters away from her. She could almost feel the murderous aura emanating from it.

But she no longer needed to be afraid, because a hand wearing a black glove was tightly gripping Zhou Jingyao's hand.

Then a crisp sound of bones breaking rang out. With a muffled groan, Zhou Jingyao's wrist bone was crushed, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

The owner of that hand was none other than [Black Feather - The Lone Silver Wind], whom she had never even met before.

"So handsome!"

For some reason, this thought popped into Pan Tingting's mind.

"Master, you flatter me."

The voice of "Silver Wind" rang in Pan Tingting's ears, and then his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only Zhou Jingyao, who had completely died.

Pan Tingting couldn't be happy right now. Her mental energy was almost completely depleted, and she was holding her head and groaning in pain. Finally, she took out the medicine that her family had prepared in advance for this situation, and she finally felt a little better.

Then came the battles on the other two sides. Ruan Ruoshi used the new card that Zhang Che had given her to coordinate with Song Ruolan.

First, he used the "Switch Locations" ability to switch his and Song Ruolan's positions, putting the woman who was fighting the Squid King into a two-on-one situation.

As expected, taking advantage of the woman's distraction by the Squid King, Song Ruolan used a [Sheep Transformation] spell to completely incapacitate the woman. Then, she quickly returned to join the Fire-Breathing Dragon in dealing with another fourth-tier extraordinary creature.

Otherwise, Li Yao and Ruan Ruoshi would be in danger.

The Squid King was also worried about its master's safety, so it didn't bother to finish him off. It simply used a [Hypnosis] spell to control the woman and then rushed over to provide support.

In the end, the Squid King's approach was actually correct, because once someone affected by the shapeshifting spell is attacked, they will revert to their original form, making the situation even more unfavorable.

Faced with the combined attack of three equally powerful individuals, the fourth-tier lizardman, despite fighting with all his might, could only be killed on the spot with a face full of resentment.
