My Card Beast Taming Game

Pan Yi spat out another mouthful of blood. His vision was still somewhat blurry as he saw the small sun moving through the crowd. With each blink, he could see the death of people or card creatures.

The foreign card master squad he recruited through intermediaries was almost wiped out in just a few encounters, and they were powerless to fight back, only able to beg for mercy or try to escape.

pity.

The creatures that attacked them moved even faster.

Pan Yi strained his eyes to try and see what was attacking them, but could only make out a figure shrouded in mist rising from the grass in the far distance.

Although the other person was blurry, he was still able to identify them.

And there is absolutely no way they would admit their mistake.

"Zhou Chen!!"

Anger, shock, and disbelief surged through him, clearing his blurred vision. His mind, however, remained a blank, and his mouth began to ramble uncontrollably, spitting out copious amounts of blood and foam. "I won't let you get away with this! The Pan family won't let you get away with this!"

Seemingly hearing Pan Yi's roar, the figure quickly approached his location, and then, amidst the surging mist, his head was lifted up.

"You bastard, you're really lucky, how come you didn't die from that kick?"

Zhou Chen looked at Pan Yi's severely sunken left side of his skull and his somewhat delirious face, then suddenly ripped open his collar and found a piece of clothing that was jade-colored but exceptionally soft. "Wow! A high-tech protective suit! Thank you!"

While they were laughing and joking, Pan Yi's throat was being tightly gripped by his other hand, and the grip was tightening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Kaka-

"You...you can't kill me, I'm from the Pan family..."

It wasn't until this moment, until his brain began to lack oxygen, that Pan Yi finally realized that death was imminent. An indescribable fear filled his mind, and his expression gradually became distorted. He tried to reach out and grab Zhou Chen's arm, but how could a trainee card master compare to a junior card master?

"Spare me...please..."

"Who are your informants?"

“Zheng…Chao…”

Boom.

After a crisp sound, Pan Yi's neck was twisted into a mangled banana shape by Zhou Chen, his eyes and face were covered in blood, and there was no trace of life left.

"Phew~ It didn't seem too difficult?"

This was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands. Driven by anger, his actions did not cause him any discomfort, only a sense of exhilaration.

It seems not much different from dissecting a monster.

Zhou Chen quickly searched his belongings, while the Cloud Mist Witch on his shoulder leisurely turned her head to look elsewhere before spontaneously rushing towards the giant wolves that emerged from the ground.

Monsters have started spawning in large numbers in the secret realm.

After Captain Changming killed all the foreigners and their spirit cards, he quickly approached the overturned SUV.

Startled by the sudden change, Zheng Chao, who was standing there, immediately shouted, "Zhou Chen! Zhou Chen! It's me, Zheng Chao! Your brother Chao!"

He was even more bewildered than Pan Yi, completely unaware of why the Lord of the Secret Realm had suddenly awakened, let alone why Zhou Chen possessed such a terrifying card.

Silver tier?

No, it's the Gold tier!?

Zheng Chao was filled with nothing but a strong will to survive.

After Zhou Chen finished searching all of Pan Yi's belongings, he heard Pan Yi shout and immediately ordered Captain Changming to hold off on his attack.

Although the realm lord is alive, this place is merely a buffer zone between the Bronze and Silver ranks; it's not something he should be alarmed about.

It's like nobody hasn't ventured into the Activated Secret Realm!

Moreover, with his means of transportation destroyed, he wouldn't be able to fly to the outpost anytime soon.

"Brother Chao, why?"

Zhou Chen asked quietly, "I helped you make money, why did you betray me?"

Zheng Chao immediately revealed a look of grief and indignation, and said, "I was forced into this, Zhou Chen! You know I'm just an ordinary person! I can't fight against powerful families!"

"Brother Chao, my patience is limited. What conditions did they offer you?"

Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "I don't want to kill you, but I can take your spirit card and break your legs."

"..."

Zheng Chao's face froze.

Zhou Chen: "I'll give you three seconds, three—"

Captain Changming stepped forward in coordination.

"I...I'll tell you!" Zheng Chao raised his hand in fright, then remained silent for a moment before saying, "They said that as long as I give them my position, they can give me a starting position on the school team."

Zhou Chen: "Where is Mei Xian? What promise was made to her?"

"...I don't know. They approached me on the first day after I entered the Hungry Wolf Secret Realm. Mei Xian...shouldn't know anything about it." Zheng Chao thought carefully but still didn't bring Mei Xian into the picture.

He subconsciously felt useless.

Zhou Chen laughed, "You bunch of ungrateful and inhuman stray dogs, you really deserve to go to hell."

immediately.

Before Zheng Chao could say anything, the Commandant Changming swiftly ripped off his head.

The Cloud Witch, who had burned away the nearby newborn giant wolves in the form of a fiery cloud, turned around and began to burn the corpses scattered on the ground, leaving no trace.

Chapter 100: The Heart of Jealousy

Mei Xian's head hurts a lot.

She barely opened her eyes and found herself in complete darkness, so dark that she couldn't see her hand in front of her face, and lying flat on the ground.

The occasional, chilling howls of wolves echoed nearby, making her heart sink slightly.

What exactly happened?

“…Zhou Chen? Zheng Chao?”

Mei Xian staggered to her feet. Before her eyes lay a road that was both familiar and unfamiliar. Their SUV lay overturned on the side of the road, its frame a mangled mess.

She touched herself and found that the spirit card and the summoning device were gone.

A tremendous sense of despair instantly enveloped her, and Mei Xian couldn't help but tremble all over. The intense unease made her breathing rapid.

No companions, no spirit cards.

Even a novice card master has a survival rate of less than 1% in the secret realm at night, unless she is lucky enough to encounter a passing card master team.

Card master squads that operate at night are practically non-existent.

Just as Mei Xian was on the verge of collapse and at her wit's end, two beams of white light suddenly shone from the distant coniferous forest, instantly giving her a glimmer of hope. "Help! Help me!"

She shouted loudly, and the incandescent light came closer, revealing a light blue camouflage SUV.

Mei Xian was stunned to see Zhou Chen sitting in the driver's seat.

"It's me, Sister Mei. You're awake? Get in the car."

Zhou Chen stared at her face and said, "We need to get back to the outpost as soon as possible. Sirius has devoured the moon; if we're any later, we might not be able to get back."

Sirius devours the moon?

Mei Xian instinctively climbed into the passenger seat, and it took her two seconds to process what she had just heard. "Impossible! Sirius has awakened—"

"But it woke up a month later."

Zhou Chen drove with a calm and collected demeanor, as skilled as a seasoned driver.

Mei Xian covered her head, "Where's Zheng Chaoren?"

"Ran."

"They ran away???"

"Yes, he has a deal with Pan Yi of the Pan family and wants to ambush me on our way back."

Zhou Chen turned his head to look at Mei Xian's expression. "They overturned the car. When I was escaping, I suddenly encountered the Heavenly Wolf Devouring the Moon, and they left. This car was left in the woods by them."

As they were talking, four or five giant wolves rushed out of the dense forest. Qinglin Tong in the back seat immediately started throwing fireballs at the pursuing wolves like a machine gun, blowing them up.

Mei Xian was still unable to process the information Zhou Chen had conveyed, but when she saw the spatial bag in the back seat, she asked in confusion, "My spirit card and summoning device?"

"I've put it away."

"..."

Mei Xian finally realized something. She looked at Zhou Chen in the driver's seat, her face showing understanding, pain, silence, and humiliation. "I... I also have dignity!"

"Sister Mei, don't blame me for doubting you. I want to trust you. After all, I know that Lu Qingning's connections are more worthwhile than the Pan family's."

Zhou Chen asked calmly, "Why did you argue with Lu Qingning? After all these days, I really can't see what you like about Zheng Chao."

Mei Xian and Lu Qingning had a big fight over Zheng Chao, the object of their crushes. This was news that Zhou Chen got from Han Baobao.

But after spending nearly half a month together, he really couldn't see any reason why Mei Xian liked Zheng Chao.

There was no physical contact, no flirtatious eye contact, and no playful banter.

Is it a crush on someone through a mobile chat app?

"..."

Mei Xian felt helpless. Zhou Chen's words felt like they were trying to cut her open, yet she had no choice but to expose her bright red internal organs to him.

She licked her dry lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Because of jealousy."

Zhou Chen: "So you had a huge fight with someone who helped you so much? You were jealous that she's more talented than you? You were jealous that her family background is better than yours?"

"Um……"

Mei Xian seemed to be trying to prove something, but she couldn't find a convincing reason, so she mechanically repeated, "I never thought of harming anyone. I also have dignity."

Zhou Chen glanced at her, who was curled up in a ball hugging her knees, and actually understood her perfectly.

After all, even someone as privileged as herself had envied Lu Qingning's family background and imagined how pleasant life would be with the resources bestowed upon her by a large family.

People always yearn for what they don't have.

Zhou Chen said, "The card summoning device and the spirit card are in the space bag. Sister Mei, everyone has jealousy. I know that people can be irrational sometimes, but you have to understand right and wrong."

"If you have even the slightest regret in your heart, then go and make up with Lu Qingning. It's a way of repaying me for not abandoning you."

"..."

Mei Xian retrieved her spatial bag, took out her card summoner and card box, looked at Zhou Chen who was pressing the accelerator hard, and said, "Thank you."

As the other party said, if Zhou Chen suspected her of colluding with the Pan family and Zheng Chao, he could have simply abandoned her when she was unconscious.

But Zhou Chen didn't.

She summoned her ranged attack spirit card, took a deep breath, and said, "You focus on driving, I'll take care of the guards."

"Row."

Zhou Chen cooperated and retrieved the Azure Phosphorus Child.

When judging a person, one should look at their actions rather than what they say.

Based solely on the two weeks we've spent together, Mei Xian, who has been tirelessly busy, is definitely a diligent and energetic person.

She split the remaining profits equally with Zheng Chao, but she did far more work than him.

Zhou Chen believed her.

Not only because it was confirmed by Zheng Chao and Pan Yi.

High in the sky, the Cloud Mist Witch carried the Long Cry Captain, whose golden light had been concealed, on her back. Its jet-black appearance allowed it to blend into the night.

As the SUV drove onto the main road, the number of wolves on both sides increased rapidly, and cries for help and the flickering lights of flashlights could be heard in the distance.

"Help us!"

"Brother, can you give us a ride?"

The shouts that rose and fell, accompanied by sporadic screams and howls of wolves, turned the pitch-black night into an infernal hell.

Mei Xian turned her head and said, "Should we..."
