Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

Nanyang Hao tilted his head slightly, his gaze meeting the evil stare of the Plague Dragon, and his pupils involuntarily contracted.

The Plague Dragon's mouth twisted into a grotesque smile, a smile filled with morbid pleasure. It was reveling in the fear this disaster brought to people, and the helplessness of humans who dared not kill it.

That laughter, that smile, were so human.

...

"Phew!" Luo Bai stepped out of the elevator, panting, and returned to Sky Island with Tong Nai'er.

It was a close call, but no real danger.

A robot mechanically approached, arms outstretched, its cold, electronic voice echoing in the air:

An unknown biological virus has been discovered in a civilian area of ​​the lower realm.

All people returning to the island must undergo quarantine and testing.

Please cooperate with our work.

"Understood, understood." Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded upon hearing this. He then followed the robot into the isolation zone. His heartbeat gradually calmed down, but his vigilance did not subside.

Binaire didn't look tired, but her eyes were full of worry, as if she had a premonition of something ominous.

Drawn by her gaze, Luo Bai walked towards the edge of the floating island. After a dozen steps, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Hundreds of thousands of wild beasts surged towards Bian Yuelong's city walls from all directions like a raging torrent. They disregarded life and death, ignoring artillery fire and Kaling's attacks like zombies, and relentlessly assaulted the city walls, stepping over the corpses of their own kind.

High in the sky, the electric nets were densely packed, covered with layers of the remains of flying beasts. The sunlight was blocked by this tragic scene, and the whole world was shrouded in gray.

"Is this what a beast tide is...?"

Luo Bai's heart sank to the bottom, as if he were watching a top-notch bio-zombie movie in a theater.

"Half a month earlier than before..." Binair's face darkened, looking quite puzzled. "The wild beasts have intuition beyond human capabilities. What scent have they caught that makes them so impatient..."

"Or is someone deliberately guiding us..."

June and December are the months when wild beasts go berserk.

However, large-scale beast tides usually occur at the end of the month. High-level wild beasts have extremely high spirituality, and they usually plan for more than half a month.

"Smell a fragrance?" Luo Bai was stunned, gaining a new understanding of this world.

"In short, trust the troops on the front lines."

He gazed at the figures bustling in the air and the residential area, a comforting smile playing on his lips.

The first wave of beasts appears to have been temporarily halted, as the Plague Dragon is devouring the beasts to heal its wounds.

Bina's face still held a melancholy expression: "But for a beast tide of this scale, we'll probably have to rent epic cards from other fortresses at a high price."

Her voice was filled with helplessness.

"I doubt we'll be able to borrow it..."

Generally speaking, it is common for garrisons to sign contracts to lend epic cards to defend against beast tides.

Two hundred years ago, Tazna borrowed the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, then unilaterally broke the treaty and claimed that the Blue-Eyes White Dragon originally belonged to their fortress.

The two fortresses thus became mortal enemies.

Moreover, the incident spread widely, creating a moral rift between the major fortresses.

It's comparable to the Earth's "Why help up if you didn't hit it?" situation.

For more than two hundred years afterward, lending out epic cards became a very delicate practice.

"Borrow?" Luo Bai raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "We have our own epic cards, so we don't need to borrow."

"Huh?" Binael was taken aback, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Coach, do you have inside information?"

The spirit of gossip burns brightly.

Which card is the epic card?

"A card for casual users?"

"Will he use it to help the fortress?"

Blah blah blah, three questions about quality.

Luo Bai said in a lecturing tone, "This is not what you should be thinking about. What you need to do is win the league and help the fortress avoid relegation."

He pointed to the argonium grid high in the sky.

"If it's downgraded, this kind of high-tech equipment will probably be dismantled."

"That would really be..."

A chill ran through Luo Bai's heart; he couldn't describe the horrific scene.

The essence of the league is the redistribution of resources. Players relegated from the fourth tier relinquish their superior resources to newcomers from the third tier.

Dismantling the Ena power grid during the beast tide is tantamount to erasing the fortress from the map.

“But…” Binel pouted, her face full of worry as she retorted, “We’re in quarantine… so we can’t train…”

"We can play cards even in quarantine!" Luo Bai shouted righteously.

"Bring out your hero, put on the Sky Knight, and have a go with me."

A glint of light flashed in Binel's eyes, and she exclaimed, "Oh—"

"A hero cannot desert his post!"

She shouted out a slogan, glanced at the front line one last time, took a deep breath, and her expression became resolute.

The coach is right.

Everyone has their own mission.

"Start the special training!" Luo Bai shouted.

"Here he comes!" Binel raised the corners of her mouth confidently. "Hehehe, my hero is very strong, you know."

One hour later.

Isolation room.

The winner takes all.

[Blue Side]

Red Team's Record: 0-7

"I'm sorry, I'm useless."

Bina was heartbroken, her head hanging low, as if shrouded in shadow, as if the world had lost its color.

Luo Bai, however, did not mock. His gaze was focused and deep as he carefully examined Binair's deck, seemingly searching for a breakthrough: "Hmm... no [Dark Claw], [Phoenix], [Blood Demon D]..."

“Those are bad heroes…” Binnair muttered weakly.

Luo Bai continued, "There's no [New Universe Knight] either..."

“That’s a legendary hero…” Binel added helplessly.

As Luo Bai pondered, he murmured to himself, "I'm missing a Hero Link Card..."

Upon hearing this, Binel's eyes lit up, instantly becoming energetic. She struck an exaggeratedly childish pose and excitedly asked, "You mean the [Crossman] or the [Hell Rift Demon]?"

"No." Luo Bai shook his head slightly, "We're missing [Elemental Hero: Isolde]..."

Chapter 331 Pre-War Meeting

“【Isolde】?” Binel was taken aback. “There’s such a hero?”

"Hmm...why does that sound familiar..."

She frowned, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and tilted her head slightly, as if she was recalling something.

"Your design has given me a bold idea." Luo Bai's eyes flashed.

The hero in Biennale is characterized by sunshine, and this is not irony or mockery, but genuine sunshine.

It has a strong early Yujou Judai vibe.

There is also a very obvious characteristic - she is a transformation-oriented character, and she has maxed out all the different transformation types.

When modifying a building, Luo Bai never changes the major axes; he only suggests modifying the minor axes and general-purpose elements.

Everyone has their own playing style.

“A bold idea?” Binel felt a chill run down her spine. “Coach, that’s a scary thing to say.”

"Can you help me revise it? As long as it helps me win."

Luo Bai's face darkened. Instead of answering her directly, he opened the Magic Card Exchange and entered three card names in the search box.

The Paladin's Remembrance of Isolde

【Blue Lock Dragon Anaconda】

【Ultra-Hero Chaos Knight】

The search results made him frown.

【Isolde】is a distorted version of the existing card. There are only three left in the entire Biantana, and someone has already bought them, in the name of the fortress.

One of them is the level 4 fortress - [Liuguangqi]. If Bian Yuelong advances to the playoffs, the two teams may meet.

The search result for "[Azure Lock Dragon Serpent]" is even more impressive, with no results found and no Sacred Stone Tablet discovered.

【Extreme Hero】is just a regular extraordinary card, and it's quite cheap, so it doesn't seem to have much of a market.

"How is it?" Seeing Luo Bai frowning, Bina asked curiously, "Is there any potential?"

"Yes, but the road might be a bit difficult," Luo Bai said thoughtfully, looking at the search results.

Although he hadn't tested it himself, experience told him that the [Isolde] and [Azure Lock Dragon Anaconda] in the Rebirth Shop were most likely epic-tier or higher, along with [Phoenix], [Dark Claw], [Order]...

The top-tier [Hero] might be extremely, extremely, extremely expensive.

After half a month, Luo Bai discovered that the creation of epic cards was extremely complicated. Even for the shopkeeper, most epic cards would experience a noticeable sense of rejection during the sensing process.

Epic cards, will choose the right person.
