Chapter 164: Chapter 69: Strange PVE Situation_3
Yet, the results were the same.
He couldn’t help examining the other party’s card face carefully again, ensuring that he hadn’t missed anything under the influence of [Absolute Card Sense].
But this situation, it was off.
"Forget it, I’ll keep playing."
Unable to find the cause, he could only keep commanding the card actions.
After all, the opponent was consistently [Defending], and he hadn’t suffered any loss.
However, as the rounds continued, Ree Shil felt that something was off.
Now, the health of the Jade Antler Deer was down to 60%, almost down to below 50%.
But the opponent was always [Defending], showing no aggressiveness.
This was too bizarre.
When a PVE Card Game is initiated, there will be an air wall framing a certain range.
Card players can move freely within this range.
The battles on the card table are all projection battles and won’t hurt the card player.
So he decided to walk around and explore a bit.
To be specific, he intended to go into that cave.
He had a feeling that, judging from the conduct of the demon monster on the card table, it didn’t seem to have any malicious intent.
This kind of behavior was clearly different from those mindless demon monsters.
At the very least, it was a semi-spirit demon monster or maybe even a fully intelligent spirit demon.
Part of the air wall range stretched into the cave, allowing Ree Shil to enter a certain distance.
However, the inside was rather dark, limiting his vision.
It took him a while to see clearly.
"I knew it."
At that moment, he finally understood the crux of the matter.
"But the PVE Card Game has already started, how should I terminate it?"
Returning to his original spot, he pondered.
This was the first time he had to consider such a problem.
He opened the system panel, looking for some rule guides.
To his surprise, it did state the ways to terminate the PVE Card Game.
And there was more than one way.
Ree Shil looked at them and found several that seemed applicable in the current situation.
Among the most feasible ones, there were two.
The first one was to give up one or more onstage cards.
That is, any one of the seven cards that were onstage, [Giant Beast of Decay] or [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit]
After that, the card game would be terminated, the air wall would vanish, and the card player would regain his freedom of movement.
However, other than the card player, everything else would still be frozen in time for a while.
Meaning that, all other things of the instance, including enemies, would temporarily be unable to move. fгeewebnovёl.com
You can’t use this opportunity to physically damage enemies due to the temporal freeze.
But you can use it to escape, provided you can get away.
"Giving up a card... this is a tough choice."
"The number of cards I have right now is so limited, every one of them is precious."
"These are not some Straw Man Mossy Mushrooms, they’re too dear to be given up."
Mossy Mushroom:?
The second way to terminate was to a certain degree, dependent on the cooperation of the enemy.
That’s when both sides of the PVE Card Game have no intention to fight and they agree to terminate the battle.
If, for instance, the enemy concedes that they are no match and wants to escape or similar situations.
"This method, I can only try."
With this thought, Ree Shil manipulated the card table.
Hum...
A blue light panel indeed appeared in front of him.
Or rather, two panels.
One in front of him, and the other in front of the Jade Antler Deer.
Both panels had the sentence: [Terminate current battle, confirm/deny] written on them.
The Jade Antler Deer projection seemed confused as it saw the panel appear.
Thanks to the comprehensive function of the Cube Card, which does not require translation, a brainwave was transmitted to its mind, and it immediately understood the meaning of the panel.
"The decision is yours now."
Ree Shil looked towards the opponent, not knowing if it understood him.
There were regulations stating that if the proposal for a cessation of battle was rejected, he wouldn’t be able to propose it a second time for a certain period.
In essence, it was a bit complicated, but he had managed to get the gist of it.
...
At another part of the valley, Exterminator Thirteen seemed somewhat ragged.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what the hell." freewebnøvel.coɱ
He climbed out of a deep pit, stinking all over.
"Damn this fog, I can’t even see my way."
"This demon monster is pretty clever, it knows how to dig a pit and shit."
"Being able to store that much feces, it probably resided here for quite some time."
Yes, he had fallen into a poo pit.
But as a professional exorcist, this was nothing.
After all, he had previously stayed inside the guts of a giant demon monster.
"Blegh!"
Okay, he admits that neither that time nor this one were pleasant memories.
After gagging on the ground for a bit, Exterminator Thirteen cautiously got up.
Swish swish swish...
His ears vibrated, as though he heard the sound of something rapidly approaching.
[Woof!
"Oh, it’s you."
When the Zombie Beast Hound appeared, he relaxed again.
[Woof!]
However, the Zombie Beast Hound was about to run over and pull on his trousers leg, but suddenly it began backing away.
"Hey, are you a real dog? Do you dislike the smell of me?"
Exterminator Thirteen let out a sigh.
What kind of demon monster’s feces was this, so stinky that even the dog despised it.
"But speaking of which, where’s my master since you’re here?"
[Woof!]
"Does this... mean you want me to follow you?"
"Is my master in danger?!"
"Lead the way!"
With the Zombie Beast Hound as the guide, Exterminator Thirteen was no longer aimlessly wandering like a headless fly.
Not long after, he arrived at the entrance of the cave following the Zombie Beast Hound.
However, when he glanced at the entrance to the hole, he was instantly angry.
Ree Shil was lying on the ground, and a large deer-like demon monster was seemingly feasting on him.
"Master! I will avenge... huh?!"
However, Exterminator Thirteen had only rushed halfway with the Demon Slayer Sword when he realized something was not right.
That guy had his hands behind his head and legs in the air, bearing no resemblance to someone dead or in pain.
A careful look cleared the misunderstanding.
The demon beast was not biting but nuzzling Ree Shil affectionately with its head.
"What do you need to avenge? Are you going to compensate me for my travel costs?"
Ree Shil raised his head, looking puzzled at the other party.
"No..."
Exterminator Thirteen breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, but then he seemed to realize something was wrong: "Master, I already paid for your travel costs."
"Isn’t your money earned by me?"
"Oh, that makes sense, but what’s going on now?"
[Yiu, yiu~]x3
Before Ree Shil could respond, three Jade Antler Fawns stumbled out of the cave.
