My Card Beast Taming Game

Advanced version - Start!

The game panel transformed into a vortex, sucking Zhou Chen and the three card creatures present into it, causing the forest to return to silence.

-

The peaceful mountains and fields are filled with scattered rocks.

Each slender rock, like a javelin, pierces straight into the sky.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes and immediately shrank behind the bronze giant statue, alertly opening the game panel.

"Three-star challenge level, the opposing team is probably all Silver rank."

"If it doesn't work, we'll retreat."

"Brother Chicken, you need to step up your game!"

The Long-Crying Captain remained silent, simply transforming itself into a shining sun. It had never used its skills before, but perhaps it would make an exception today.

Currently, at two stars, it has unlocked three skills—

Active Skill: [Wende - Dawn's Long Cry]

[Draws upon the power of the sun to deal wide-area light and fire damage to enemies, dispels enemy buffs, and briefly reduces enemy attack.]

Passive Skill: [Courage and Virtue - Good Will Prevail Over Evil]

[When HP > 50%, attack speed increases by 50%; when HP ≤ 50%, critical hit rate increases by 50%; damage against enemies with negative status effects or those of the Dark attribute is increased by an additional 50%.]

Finally, there's the additional passive skill granted by the Five Virtues Crown exclusive weapon – [Faith and Virtue: Sharp Eyes].

[Immune to all evasion, stealth, invisibility, and deception skills; attacks are guaranteed to hit; unaffected by illusions and confusion.]

Chapter 50: Getting Beaten Up

What kind of monsters will you encounter?

Zhou Chen waited for the enemy to approach, keeping his eyes fixed on the control panel and listening intently to the sounds around him.

Finally, Captain Changming suddenly looked in a certain direction.

Two strangely shaped monkeys suddenly appeared on the game panel: one was covered in thick, dark brown fur, and had a thick layer of grayish-brown rock on its upper body, like natural armor.

Name: Rock-armed Monkey

[Rating: Three Stars]

Secondly, it has a slender and small body, with short bluish-green hairs that lie close to its body, similar in color to the branches and leaves in the forest. There are leaves attached to its head and tail, and its limbs are long and thin like a spider.

【Name: Green-tailed Monkey】

[Rating: Three Stars]

This wave of monsters is all of the Silver rank, and there are a total of four of them.

Even when Zhou Chen was clinging to powerful figures in the Water Marsh Secret Realm, he never encountered so many Silver-tier monsters at once.

What bothered him even more was that the stone forest had a narrow field of vision. If he didn't stand on high ground, it would be difficult to see the direction and exact location of the enemy's attack. But once he reached a high place, he would inevitably attract the attention of the monsters.

We can only pin our hopes on Captain Changming!

Zhou Chen placed one hand on the exit screen. He was very glad that he could exit the dungeon without having to leave combat, which was also the main reason why he decided to try the advanced dungeon after careful consideration.

"Hey!"

A short, sharp cry came from ahead, and then a huge sun suddenly rose up, releasing a fierce radiance accompanied by a piercing cry in a certain direction!

"Whoa whoa whoa—!!"

This is currently the only active skill of Captain Changming: [Wende - Dawn's Long Cry]!

At this moment, the sunlight acquired substantial power, transforming into a huge pillar of light that descended from the sky and covered a large area.

Then came a deafening roar. Zhou Chen, who was tightly covering his ears, felt the ground beneath his legs shaking violently, almost causing him to lose his balance.

A full ten seconds or so passed before the terrifying tremors finally subsided.

He looked up and saw that the air was filled with lingering dust and smoke, while the "scorching sun" high above remained conspicuous.

The four monkeys were no longer visible on the game screen.

Zhou Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Another instant sell-out?

Keep in mind that Captain Changming is only two stars at the moment, and is far from being a four-star complete form!

The "exclusive weapon" thing is really too authoritative.

First, there was the White Ape King's successful surprise attack on the Silver Spirit Card, and then there was the Long Cry Captain's low-level one-hit kill of a high-level group of monsters.

After the smoke cleared, Zhou Chen went forward to check the monster's corpse and found that all that was left for him were two charred remains.

"Why is it still short?"

He realized that two of the monsters had been burned to ashes.

It should be the Green-tailed Monkey.

The settlement page popped up, showing that the only items dropped were two dog food fodders. He promptly clicked to confirm.

"Hmm~"

A feeling of comfort welled up inside him, stimulating his brain.

Although the stamina cost of high-level dungeons is still uncertain, it is believed that the overall experience gain will be significantly greater than that of mid-level dungeons.

Zhou Chen then took out two blank cards. The value of the silver cards was so high that he couldn't resist making a few.

—It failed.

"Brother Chicken! Keep going!"

He shouted at the Long-Whistling Captain in the sky, but the only response he got was a short, cooing sound.

The dungeon-hunting team roared forward.

As it turned out, even though Captain Changming's combat strength supported him in clearing high-level dungeons, his stamina still held him back as a trainee card master.

On his first attempt at an intermediate-level dungeon, he could manage to clear about ten waves of monsters. But in advanced-level dungeons, clearing just five waves left him exhausted.

Zhou Chen originally wanted to have Captain Changming control the output so that Bai Yuangong could fight the low-health Silver-rank monster, but as the fight went on, he started to get dizzy and almost fell backward.

Fortunately, the bronze colossus always remembered its mission and lent a helping hand with its large hand.

"Thank you..."

Zhou Chen rubbed his temples, trying to keep his mind clear, but the mental energy he had exhausted was not so easy to replenish.

He is currently unable to accelerate his recovery through meditation.

That's all for now.

Fortunately, when the overall profit is calculated, farming higher-level dungeons is still more profitable than farming lower-level dungeons.

Zhou Chen left the instance and asked Captain Changming to take him home.

"Let me get some sleep..."

"Giggle~"

-

Four hours later.

After waking up, he clicked to enter the dungeon again.

"Come on! Let's get started!"

Zhou Chen shouted.

After confirming the combat strength of Captain Changming, he undoubtedly gave up on the Bronze Colossus again. After all, a Silver-rank Spirit Card couldn't be a powerful support.

Besides, this guy's summoning noise is too conspicuous, unlike Chicken Bro's agility.

In an unfamiliar stone forest.

They soon encountered the first wave of monsters.

Without a word, the Long Cry Captain, suspended high above, launched a dive. The earth-shattering Dawn Cry was like a saturation bombardment, unleashing a blazing inferno that could incinerate everything, blasting the group of silver-tier monsters into a chaotic retreat.

The screams were incessant.

Zhou Chen and the White Ape hid under the towering stone pillar, watching helplessly as the enemies on the panel lost health and disappeared. Only when there was only one half-health monster left did they peek out.

"Let's fight!"

"twitter!"

Under his control, the white ape charged forward at high speed.

This time, the enemy left to Captain Changming was a rock-armed ape with half its body charred. The intense pain drove the monster somewhat mad, and its knee-length arms, covered in rocks, slammed wildly into the ground, creating ring-shaped shockwaves and rubble.

"Roar!!"

The roar, accompanied by a tremor, caused the White Ape to leap toward the rock pillar on the other side. Only after the Rock Arm Ape's attack ended did it suddenly approach and swiftly swing its blade.

Infinite Strike Trigger, Charge Up —

Ouch!

With a muffled thud, the White Ape was sent flying by a lightning-fast punch from the Rock-Armed Mountain Ape, his back slamming heavily against a rock pillar.

Zhou Chen's eyelids twitched slightly as he said, "Even with low health, your reaction time is so fast!"

While a card's attack, speed, and other stats can be assessed based on its own attributes, its reaction stat is uniquely linked to the card master who controls it.

If it weren't for the fact that Captain Changming could act on its own, it would probably have been punched by these monkeys as well.

"Again!"

White Ape raised his hand, and the Wind and Thunder Blade that had cut into nearly half of Rock Arm Mountain Ape's right arm automatically returned. He then used Wind and Thunder Escape.

Zhou Chen's original intention was to bypass the front and launch a sneak attack from behind, but after the White Ape disappeared, the Rock Arm Mountain Ape immediately targeted him, the card master who was hiding in the corner and only showing half of his head to peek. It picked up a stone from the ground and hurled it at him.

"Roar!"

"Wocao!"

Zhou Chen was so frightened that he quickly shrank back, but Captain Changming reacted even faster, leaping down and shattering the head-sized rock.

What a cunning monkey!

He hurriedly used the rocks as cover to quickly run to the other side to expand his field of vision, then manipulated the wind and thunder escape to turn around behind the rock-armed mountain ape, activated the skill, and swung his sword in one smooth motion.

呲!

The blade, gleaming white, instantly sliced ​​into the rock-covered neck, moving with incredible speed.

"Roar!"

Before dying, the ferocious rock-armed ape swung its fist horizontally once more. The white ape tried to retreat, but was still half a step too slow. The giant fist blasted it away like a heavy hammer.

Bang!

The white ape leaned against a rock, blood trickling from the corner of its mouth.

The two heavy blows severely damaged this bronze-tier card creature, whose defense had not been improved.

Looking at the listless white ape and the decapitated rock ape in the distance, Zhou Chen thought to himself that he still needed to practice his reflexes.

Perhaps a Bronze-rank apprentice card master is destined to be inferior to a Silver-rank master, but he believes that through continuous practice, he can eventually narrow the gap between the two.

The problem is not big.

There will be plenty of opportunities to face off!

Chapter 51: The Competition Begins (Please read on!!)

Zhou Chen is very adaptable.

Two days later, the high-level dungeons that had once terrified him became one of his ways to level up his cards.

Unfortunately, the silver-tier monster was still too strong. If Captain Changming hadn't found a way to reduce it to low health, he wouldn't have been able to handle it at all.
