Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 1009: Chapter 368: Made a Huge Blunder Right Off the Bat?_2

As for the giant frog, its ultimate fate was to become a wrinkled piece of frog skin.

Even though he had been through some instance worlds and seen many strange creatures,

this scene still left Ree Shil somewhat amazed.

However, what came next made him arch his eyebrows slightly.

After feasting, the giant mosquito didn’t fly away; instead, it headed straight towards his location.

It seemed that the creature had been aware of his presence from the start. Just now it hadn’t been satisfied, and now it seemed to want a second helping.

"Heh, coming straight to me saves me the trouble,"

Ree Shil certainly hadn’t forgotten what kind of instance this was.

A pure PVE instance.

This meant that all the battles he would face here would turn into a card game.

Fighting with cards, was he afraid?

[Buzzing!]

As the giant mosquito emitted its air cone, he didn’t dodge or flinch.

Buzz! freewebnøvel.coɱ

Sure enough, before the air cone even reached his body, time around him solidified, and a column of light shot down from the sky.

Then a blue light began to spread into a card table.

"If I lose to this little monster, then I might as well give up,"

Ree Shil glanced at the opposite side, which had only one card position.

But even though his words were bold, he knew he still had to be cautious.

He immediately brought out his most powerful card deck to meet the first card game of the instance.

First-row cards, [Martial Monkey][Weapon Master][Wicked Dragon Demon].

There was nothing much to say, it was about taking damage.

Next-line cards, [Beginning Stick][Peach Blossom Jade Deer][Sect Leader Frog].

This card was an auxiliary card.

The effect of [Beginning Stick] was to create score space.

[Peach Blossom Jade Deer] was for healing endurance.

[Sect Leader Frog] was [Quick Purify]—in case the opposition brought poison.

Last-row card, [Spirit Lord Red Dragon].

This card would be essential for quite some time ahead, to complete missions.

The ultimate King Card, [Kung Fu Sheep God].

This card was the absolute baseline card.

Unless the opposition had [Coating], in PVE it was the absolute true god.

Even with [Coating], it could deliver powerful DPS.

However, it hadn’t yet been tested whether the [Exit] effect of [Four God Pursuit] would be considered a kill or not, which could affect the [Spirit Lord Red Dragon]’s task.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t let the Sheep God execute this effect.

"Huh?"

But just when he finished setting up the card table, Ree Shil noticed a problem.

When he tried to lay down a scene card, a prompt popped up unexpectedly.

[The use of scene cards is prohibited in this card game instance.]

He hadn’t expected this kind of restriction.

But then, each instance world could have a variety of restrictions or rules.

If he cannot use them, the opponent cannot use them either.

No big deal.

Zoom!

As he completed card placement, a streak of light fell onto the opposite card grid, and the giant mosquito’s card face was revealed.

[Kung Fu Mosquito Beast]

Berserk, Attack 50, 1000/1000

[Half-Full - Passive]: The Kung Fu Mosquito Beast gains +30 Attack Power when attacking fleshy targets.

[Air Cone Technique - Passive]: The Kung Fu Mosquito Beast gets 1 extra basic attack every round.

[Bloodthirsty Insect - Passive]: The Kung Fu Mosquito Beast gains healing equal to the damage it deals.

[Extreme Speed Insect Wings - 30 Health Points]: The Kung Fu Mosquito Beast splits into 3 cards, two of which are fake images with no attack power that break upon a single hit, this skill does not affect action.

[Bloodsucking Attack - 50 Health Points]: The Kung Fu Mosquito Beast attacks a target, stealing 5 points of its Attack Power and 10 points off its Maximum Life Value.

"Quite a lot of entries.

Indeed, the monster card is unscrupulous, having its attack equate to life-stealing.

Combined with its high Attack Power, it practically means using skills without blood consumption.

Plus, it can steal values."

Having reviewed the card face, Ree Shil had taken stock.

It seemed the difficulty in this world was quite high; just a random roadside bug they ran into had such a formidable card face.

Put it in The Path of the Seven Series, and it would almost qualify as an elite monster for the first few hurdles.

Of course, for someone who has progressed to the fourth or fifth hurdle like him, it was really just a minion.

minutes, just 5 minutes.

The [Kung Fu Mosquito Beast] was taken down by him.

The most powerful aspect of [Kung Fu Mosquito Beast] was its ability to split into three.

Then, as its opponent, one must guess which of the three mosquitoes is real and which are fakes.

In this process, one can suffer a significant loss of DPS and in turn let the "Kung Fu Mosquito Beast" take the advantage.

But having the "Martial Monkey" in hand, He just needed to play a "Lock" at the start and it would be all over.

Although the "Kung Fu Mosquito Beast" can clone itself, it cannot switch places with its clone to confuse the enemy.

A measly 1000 health, even the "Spirit Lord Red Dragon" alone could kill it within 10 rounds.

Not to mention the output from other cards.

In just 4 rounds, Ree Shil had turned the other party into blue light.

Buzz...

When the card table was retracted, the "Kung Fu Mosquito Beast’s" blue light coalesced back into a dead mosquito.

Its massive body was stuck between wooden stakes, not falling into the lake.

"Simple as it was, if 9 of them came at once, I would indeed have some difficulty dealing with it."

Looking at the corpse of the giant mosquito, Ree Shil reassessed the dangers of this world.

To make one’s way in this world, currency was naturally indispensable.

"This kind of roadside wild monster probably doesn’t have anything too valuable on it.

Temporarily, let’s disassemble some parts that seem valuable."

By now, Ree Shil was well-versed in this kind of thing.

Previously, when doing the Sword Spirit task, he often hunted monsters to sell for food and drink.

However, without any Follower cards at hand, he had to do it himself.

As it turned out, without any tools, he could only barely tear off a large part of the giant mosquito’s wing.

The wing was covered with intricate patterns, looking like scales.

Describing it as thin as cicada wings wouldn’t quite be appropriate since it was, after all, an insect’s wing.

Upon testing, the wing was quite tough; it could probably sell for some money.

"Well, that’s fine. Under these circumstances, I can only take what’s portable."

Rolling up the wings and tucking them under his arm, Ree Shil continued forward.

The journey was quite peaceful.

Aside from the earlier encounter with the giant frogs VS giant mosquito, there were no more major disturbances.

At most, one or two fish would sometimes leap from the lake, splashing the water.

After over an hour more, he had to admit the lake was truly vast.

Ree Shil even began to wonder if this entire world was just like this.

"I’m not slow, and it’s getting dark, yet I still haven’t seen the edge.

Do I have to sleep on these stakes tonight?

Is this really all about kung fu training?"

Standing on a stake, he sighed.

[Buzz...buzz...buzz...] xN

It was just then that a dense, fine buzzing sound came from the distance.

Listening closely, it sounded like the wing flapping of giant mosquitoes.

"Judging by the sound, there seem to be quite a few..."

He began preparing to take a detour.

Having just killed a giant mosquito, his task count had already increased by 1.

If he killed more, there would be no value in it.

But no more than 5 minutes after taking a different direction, the same buzzing sound came from another direction.

After changing directions several times, it was still the same.

"Am I surrounded?"

This left Ree Shil somewhat baffled.

Could it be that he killed a giant mosquito and now the others have come for revenge?

"Well, then I’ll just have to break out.

If it really comes to a fight, I’m not afraid of you."

Previously, he said that it would be difficult to deal with 9 "Kung Fu Mosquito Beasts", but not impossible.

If need be, he would just fight his way through.

So, this time he didn’t change direction and went straight forward.

"Oh come on!"

When he actually encountered the group of giant mosquitoes ahead, he realized there were shockingly many of them!

Though these mosquitoes were clearly much smaller than the giant mosquito he had just faced, they were at least the size of a chicken or duck.

At this time, they swarmed over like a dense cloud heading straight for him.

Anyone with a fear of dense, swarming things would surely go weak at the knees upon seeing this.

On the card table, Ree Shil wasn’t afraid of these things.

Based on appearance, these guys were obviously not as strong as the "Kung Fu Mosquito Beast."

But as the saying goes, even ants can bite an elephant to death, and his spiritual power couldn’t withstand limitless expenditure.

It seemed that he had unwittingly stirred up trouble upon entering this world.

"No point in talking, better to run."

He didn’t want to blindly prove himself in a conflict with them.

But just as he turned around, that buzzing sound was also coming from there.

Listening carefully, it seemed that giant mosquitoes were swarming from all directions!
