My Card Beast Taming Game

He was already somewhat intoxicated just from smelling a whiff of the scent.

It's important to know that novice card players have a very strong ability to metabolize alcohol; they can quickly digest even industrial alcohol, and only experience a slight intoxication...

"Luckily, I brought a bottle with me."

Before the monster appeared, he decisively took out his water bottle from his bag, poured out the water, and filled it with the murky, bluish liquid.

The broken tree stump didn't contain much wine; most of it was fruit puree. He had to add more puree after filling it about three-quarters full.

Seeing that the monster had not yet appeared, Zhou Chen thought for a moment and put some fermented fruit into his bag.

"This thing should be able to refresh?"

Many things in the secret realm, like monsters, can appear "out of thin air," and this clearly rare and precious item is no exception.

Unfortunately, the landing point after entering the instance is random; when he leaves and re-enters, he is no longer in the same location.

Otherwise, I really want to take these rotten fruits away too.

There's plenty of time in the future.

"Brother Chicken, fly to a higher place and remember this location."

Zhou Chen switched the game panel to the exit screen. When Captain Changming flew to a very high place and a muffled loud noise and a long howl could be faintly heard in the distance, he immediately confirmed it with his mind.

In an instant.

He, the Cloud Witch, and the Long-Whistling Captain in the Sky disappeared from the spot.

Immediately following, a giant, emerald-green spear pierced the air and crashed into the earth like a cannonball, sending up clouds of dust and rubble.

Bang!

The loud noise echoed through the valley.

A few seconds later, two giant figures arrived one after the other. One was short and stocky, wielding a long sword as wide as a door panel, while the other was tall and thin, pulling out a giant spear that was stuck in the ground.

These were two giant apes, each as tall as a two-story building, each wearing tattered clothing, as if they had been stolen from somewhere.

They scratched their heads and looked at the spot where Zhou Chen had disappeared, seemingly not understanding why he had vanished.

Then, the giant apes glanced at the broken wooden stake filled with fermented fruits and wine, dipped their tongues in it and tasted it, before hissing and laughing as they carried their weapons away.

Inside the Hungry Wolf Secret Realm Hotel.

Zhou Chen was searching everywhere for a container to store the fermenting, rotten fruit in his backpack.

He definitely wouldn't dare eat it directly. It's something that can make you drunk just from smelling a hint of alcohol. What if it makes him drink himself to death?

"What great luck..."

It's not surprising that there are such rare treasures in the dungeon, since most of the mental energy supplements he consumes come from the secret realm.

Zhou Chen turned to Captain Changming and asked, "Brother Chicken, have you memorized that location?"

Captain Changming tilted his head, then nodded firmly, "Clang!"

"Just write it down."

He happily stroked the feathers of the Long-Winged Captain, then suddenly remembered the group of people he had been spying on earlier. "Could they be from the association?"

"The Howling Monkeys in the Forest" is clearly a secret realm that the lord has not yet conquered. Given the efficiency of the Card Association, the secret realm will probably be stabilized soon.

Every little bit helps.

Zhou Chen currently lacks the ability to hunt bosses, and competing with the guild members for them is a pipe dream, but he has already benefited greatly from this instance.

After the effects of the alcohol wore off, he carefully stored the fruit wine and pulp, and thoroughly cleaned his backpack inside and out to ensure there was no more alcohol residue before re-entering the high-level dungeon.

Although the sudden surprise disrupted my rhythm, I'll definitely still go and run the dungeon.

Spatial transformation.

He and the two card creatures reappeared in a corner of the valley. The Cloud Witch on his shoulder quickly swung her fluffy tail, which resembled clouds, and cast a dreamlike mist over him and Captain Changming.

Instead, it became a light pink, cat-shaped mark.

Both the "Mist Protection" and "Witch's Blessing" effects have been applied.

"Hey!"

The Long-Winged Captain let out a short cry, gently flapped its wings and flew into the air. Suddenly, its body emitted a dazzling golden light, transforming into a "sun" that was impossible to look directly at.

As it unleashed its full power, a familiar yet strangely unfamiliar sharp ape howl immediately echoed from afar. On Zhou Chen's game panel, two bizarrely shaped, armored giant apes appeared—

【Name: Axe-wielding Monkey General】

[Rank: Four Stars]

【Name: Halberd Ape General】

[Rank: Four Stars]

Only two!

The number of monsters appearing in a single instance in a secret realm is not fixed; it varies depending on their race, strength, and the size of the secret realm.

Zhou Chen originally thought there would be at least three, but if there were only two...

It should work!

Just as he became alert, a thunderous roar suddenly came from afar, followed by a dark shadow approaching him from the sky at an extremely fast speed!

"Hey!"

With a loud howl, Captain Changming charged forward in the blink of an eye!

when!

The sound of metal clashing echoed as the dark figure spun and fell to the side, smashing several large trees in half.

It was a halberd about seven or eight meters long, entirely black, with a shaft as thick as an adult's waist, and a blade that gleamed coldly.

Zhou Chen, who was hiding behind the tree, quickly looked into the distance and saw its owner.

"General Halberd Ape..."

A giant brown-furred ape, almost two stories tall, strode closer, baring its teeth and letting out a terrifying howl.

"Hey Hey--"

Behind it was another light brown ape wielding a long-handled giant axe.

Both giant apes were dressed in tattered armor, as if they had been snatched from some defeated soldiers, and they stared intently at the Long-Calling Captain in mid-air.

Zhou Chen's strategy was undoubtedly to attract monsters by emitting light.

He discovered that no matter how he hid, any monster that Changming Duwei and Baiyuan Gong missed would definitely target him.

These guys have absolutely no idea how to help their companions; they're only interested in killing every creature on equal terms.

Therefore, Zhou Chen had to think of other ways to ensure his safety.

For example, enhancing the appeal of the Long-Horned Captain.

So far, the results have been quite good.

"Hey!"

Without hesitation, Captain Changming rushed towards the unarmed Halberd Ape Commander, unleashing a blazing inferno like the sun!

【Flame Feather Stomp】!

Like a meteorite falling from the sky, it left a dazzling trail of flames in mid-air before crashing down!

Long!

The sound of breaking through the air is deafening!

Although Captain Changming is not yet four stars, he still showed extremely terrifying destructive power thanks to his exclusive weapon and the power of the opening server's top-tier character!

The halberd-wielding ape below realized something was wrong and immediately tried to turn around and run away.

Behind it, the Axe Ape Commander hurriedly raised his giant axe, trying to stop the Long-Cry Captain's charge.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

boom--!!

The extreme heat wave instantly evaporated all the surrounding vegetation, and the towering plumes of smoke and dust, along with the rolling shockwaves, resembled a shelled position.

Even Zhou Chen, who was dozens of meters away, was affected, but fortunately he had the shield provided by the Cloud Mist Witch.

The witch, transformed into a cat, has incredibly high HP, so the aftershocks of a mere attack are no problem for her.

"horrible."

Zhou Chen peeked out from behind the charred tree trunk and looked at the smoke-filled battlefield. The battle had clearly just begun, and soon roars and crowing of roosters could be heard from within.

He quickly said to the Cloud Witch on his shoulder, "Go and help apply the debuffs!"

"Meow~"

The Cloud Witch responded, and like a gray cat-like cloud, she drifted and flew into the smoke.

Chapter 95: The Hua Family Strategy

The Cloud Witch's signature weapon skill, [Spirit Cat Curse], can significantly reduce the opponent's attack speed and movement speed.

More importantly, it can also inflict a silence effect, preventing the opponent from using skills.

This will undoubtedly play a very crucial role.

Unfortunately, the active skill [Abnormal Weather] cannot apply negative effects, otherwise it could be used in conjunction with Captain Changming's passive skill [Good Will Prevail Over Evil].

"Roar!!"

The roars of the two giant apes were deafening, accompanied by continuous booming and vibrations, and large amounts of smoke and dust filled the air, making it impossible to see the specific situation.

"Is this what a battle with all-out firepower at the Gold rank is like?"

Zhou Chen hid in the corner, and couldn't help but worry that he might attract other monsters.

The commotion was too great.

The sound could travel at least several kilometers. Heaven knows how big the inner layers of the dungeon are. As long as the other monsters aren't deaf, they'll probably come running over very soon.

He stared at the panel and quickly noticed that the Halberd Ape Commander was marked as dead. The roar of the giant ape in the billowing smoke had also changed from two to one, and the Axe Ape Commander only had half health left.

In contrast, the health of Captain Changming and the Cloud Mist Witch remained above 80%.

The healing ability of [Mist Shelter] was even more powerful than Zhou Chen had imagined. He had just seen the shield break for a moment, and then Captain Changming's health dropped to 60%. But when the Cloud Mist Witch activated it again, his health quickly returned to 80%.

Aside from not being able to instantly kill Gold-rank monsters, the two work together very well, overwhelming the opponent entirely with stats and mechanics.

Unfortunately, the Cloud Witch lacked combat experience and couldn't effectively interrupt her opponent's skills with the Spirit Cat's Curse, whereas normally the timing should be mastered by the card master—

He wouldn't dare go any closer!

Without the damage transfer ability of an intermediate-level card master, a single kick could kill him.

"It feels like I'm back to the first time I ran a dungeon."

Zhou Chen recalled the past and remembered that he used to find a place to hide and only dared to go out after the Commandant Changming had killed him.

Shortly after, Axe-Ape Commander also perished under the chickens.

Fearing the appearance of more gold-tier monsters, he rushed forward immediately and spotted two giant apes, their flesh mangled and charred black, amidst the swirling smoke.

The game panel displays the results page.

Zhou Chen decisively settled the account, and Lv.20+59% instantly jumped to 60%.

[Ape General Armor x2, Natural Essence x2, Diamonds x10]

"Holy crap..."

A strong sense of emptiness surged into his heart, almost causing him to kneel on the ground. "Did I really expend so much energy?"

Keep in mind that he currently possesses the physique of a beginner card master, but this attack likely drained a third of his physical and mental strength.

Is it profitable?

It's still quite profitable.
