Chapter 617: Chapter 456: [Elite Dragon Soldiers]_2

First, the continent they find themselves on is extremely vast.

According to accounts from elder adventurers who passed by, no one has yet completed a crossing of the continent’s diameter.

However, by a stroke of luck, they learned that there isn’t just one of such continental plates.

There are a total of seven, divided into seven major areas named after seven elements: Balance, Fury, Wisdom, Breaking, Firmness, Wind-hearing, and Wind-chasing.

Currently, Li Pu and his group are in the Balance area.

The characteristic of the Balance area is that most of the magical beasts here focus on Balance cards.

Of course, there are other types of cards, like the [Dragon Soldier] from the Wisdom element.

It can only be said that in the Balance area, the proportion of Balance cards compared to the other six elements is approximately 6:4.

The same situation applies in other areas, where each area centers around their type of card.

When Ji Jiao and Hu Wei were introducing these situations, Ah Yajun was taking notes all along.

"What is that you’re..."

Eventually, Li Pu couldn’t help but ask.

"Recording the sights and experiences I encounter here, planning to write a book."

"What do you think about the title ’Ah Jun’s Diary’?"

Ah Yajun waved the little leather notebook in his hand.

He bought this item at Lanlan Town for a few thousand Cubic Coins.

According to the shop owner, the quality of its paper is quite good, impervious to water and fire, and resistant to vermin.

The raw material is identical to that of Cubic Cards, although the shop owner also didn’t know what the raw material is.

Anyway, even if it’s preserved for a hundred or a thousand years, it might not be damaged and would certainly last longer than the buyer’s life.

As for the pen, it came as a free gift with the notebook.

The characters it leaves behind can also be preserved for a hundred or a thousand years.

This claim was clearly just a sales pitch.

But Ah Yajun still spent a fortune to buy it, after all, he is Ah Yajun.

"..."

Li Pu could tell that this guy seemed like he was serious.

But this notebook can’t be taken back to Blue Star, who knows what’s the point.

"There seems to be something up ahead."

Just then, Hu Wei suddenly gave a warning.

She intentionally walked ten meters ahead of the group, taking on the role of scout.

At present, she was crouched behind a large rock, gesturing to them.

Following Hu Wei’s directions, Li Pu and the others pressed against the mountain wall and reached the big rock.

Peeking over to the other side, they saw four Dragon Soldiers sitting by a campfire, roasting an unknown beast.

"Four...!"

Ji Jiao’s face didn’t look good.

Their location was right on the necessary path of the canyon.

No matter how they tried to detour, they couldn’t continue forward without going past them.

"And given the distance between them, it will be a 4V4 battle."

Hu Wei was also somewhat solemn.

In an encounter with monsters, it starts as a 1V1 duel.

But just as card players can call in reinforcements, so can monster cards.

The cost is the same, sacrificing one turn of action phase.

The maximum number of participants on both sides is 4.

This is why a full adventurer team consists of four members.

Now, with these four Dragon Soldiers so close, there won’t be any mid-battle interference; instead, all four of them would have to face the four Dragon Soldiers from the first round.

The complexity and difficulty of this battle would surely surpass 1V1, 2V2, or 3V3 duels.

"So what are we waiting for?"

Li Pu expressed doubt.

"Huh?"

Hu Wei was a bit stunned at his words.

She was thinking of a way to lure them out individually and defeat them one by one.

But from what it sounded like, this hobbling friend’s tone didn’t seem to take this seriously?

"Just crush them directly, right?"

Ah Yajun timely offered his agreement.

"But..."

Hu Wei’s experience told her there was still risk.

In a 4V4, the individual strength of a card player is relatively diminished, after all, outnumbered can’t match many.

"Sis, why don’t we give it a try."

But Ji Jiao felt it was necessary to try.

The first reason being they hadn’t truly witnessed Li Pu’s strength yet.

The second reason is if they backed down from just four Dragon Soldiers, they wouldn’t be able to delve deeper or find Dragon Horn Grass today.

"Alright, let’s approach cautiously. If things look bad, we should run immediately."

Hu Wei eventually nodded in agreement.

"Let’s come up with a comprehensive battle plan, and exchange our deck information... eh?!"

Before she finished her sentence, she saw Li Pu and Ah Yajun step forward.

A tactical meeting wasn’t necessary.

Even a 4V4 was fine for Li Pu; he thought as long as he had a supporting role, even a 1.5V4 would work.

Ah Yajun: Why don’t you just name me outright?

[Dragon Invader Dragon!]

Upon seeing them appear, the Dragon Soldiers who were feasting on the roast meat immediately stood up to attack.

The distance between both sides was quite short, within a range of a blue light barrier.

Buzz!

The blue light barrier quickly enveloped them all.

"This! So reckless!"

Hu Wei felt a bit anxious. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

She had no personal concerns, mostly considering the young master.

The young master was still very young; even enduring a single defeat’s Spiritual Power depletion might be tough for that little body.

"It’s fine, sis, let’s go."

Ji Jiao had already unveiled his cards.

Whoosh!

With a sharp sound, the projection of [Mysterious Horn] shot into the sky.

Though just a B-grade card, the momentum of its entry far exceeded B-grade.

"Oh?"

Li Pu raised an eyebrow when the card appeared.

[Mysterious Horn]

Breaking, 0 points, B

Attack 10, 100/100, 0/1

[Non-Entity - Passive]: The Mysterious Horn can be placed anywhere, but cannot be the trump card

[Wishful Horn - 1 Energy]: The Horned God can choose any column of cards, granting [Full Penetration] effect

([Full Penetration]: When attacking one target, it also deals damage to all targets behind it)

This was the first time he saw a card scoring 0 points like [Telekinesis Dragon] and could occupy the trump card spot.

Moreover, a skill requiring just 1 energy can be used every other turn, which was really impressive.

If matched with a card like [Orc Chief] that replenishes energy, it would be even stronger, essentially a skill every turn.

Seeing the young master’s determination, Hu Wei could only unveil her deck and looked towards Li Pu and Ah Yajun.

Now, only those two hadn’t revealed their decks.

Especially Li Pu, with such confidence, he should be able to produce some powerful or even awe-inspiring deck, right?

Could it be... an S-grade card?

As soon as she thought about it, she saw Li Pu swipe open his four cards effortlessly.

[Kung Fu!] x4

Four mediocre projections leapt from the cards.

Their peculiarity was only their black and white bodies.

Kung Fu Zoo was a highly effective deck for open-hand encounters with monster cards.

There’s hardly any need for much thought, almost semi-automated.

"Uh... 3C+1B?"

But seeing this set of cards, Hu Wei looked utterly disappointed.

What kind of fancy thing is this?

It’s entirely useless, isn’t it!

You know the [Dragon Soldier] has a high damage capacity, especially in this 4V4 duel, even if you can share the damage, a round of focused attack from the opponent wouldn’t hold up!

Acting so confidently, dragging us all down with you.

And this is what you lay out?

Are you playing with everyone’s safety?

Hu Wei now only felt remorse and regret.

The young master made a mistake trusting others due to his age, but how could she also make the same mistake?

But just then, Ah Yajun began unveiling his cards as well.

Just like Li Pu, his speed of revealing cards was fast, dealing one after another without pause.

"Huh?" x2

But when Ah Yajun was done, Hu Wei and Ji Jiao were both slightly stunned.

The deck and layout, wasn’t that the one used by the opponent just now?

What was happening?!
