Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

[Fanged Dire Wolf: Ice Attribute]

[Card Quality: Bronze]

[Card Beast Level: Tier 1, Stage 5]

[Potential: ☆☆☆]

[Talent: Basic Frost Resistance (Grade C)]

[Skills: Ice Ball Breath (Rank B), Ice Claw (Rank C)]

Overall combat strength: 130

"Hmm... This Fanged Dire Wolf card is of good quality. It has the potential to be a three-star card and also comes with a B-level skill. Its overall combat power far exceeds that of ordinary bronze-level card beasts."

Her amber eyes glanced at her two companions, and she asked, "I want this card, discounted to 600,000. You two don't mind, do you?"

"It's just a bronze card, take it if you want." Lu Ming put his hands in his pockets, his smile extremely friendly.

He never competes with his teammates for low-tier cards.

Moreover, Dugu Ying is a year younger than him and the only girl in the team, so he should give way to her out of courtesy and reason.

Zhao Long turned his head away and remained silent.

In his opinion... women are the most troublesome. If the principal hadn't intervened and pleaded for the three of them to team up, Zhao Long wouldn't have bothered teaming up with Dugu Ying.

Thanks.

Dugu Ying didn't stand on ceremony and put the Fang Dire Wolf Card into a blank page of the code.

At that moment, a long wolf howl came from deep within the tunnel.

Awooo—!

The howls bounced back and forth between the ice layers, were distorted and amplified by the tunnel, and finally turned into layers of sound waves that surged in from all directions at the same time.

Upon hearing this, the three men's expressions instantly turned serious.

"That wolf howl is strange!"

Dugu Ying placed her hand on the hilt of her sword at her waist, her knuckles tightening slightly.

She has at least dozens of experiences soloing the middle section of the Frostwolf Dungeon and knows the eight Silver Dire Wolves guarding it very well.

But this time, the wolf howls were far more powerful than ever before.

She suspected... that the eight guarding silver dire wolves might have undergone a small-probability mutation!

Waaah—!

As Dugu Ying's master beast, the Frost Dire Wolf immediately stood in front of its master, warily looking into the depths of the tunnel as if facing a formidable enemy.

Although it has become a card beast, it still retains the vigilance and strength it had in life, and has a keen sense of unknown powerful enemies.

Lu Ming, however, remained relaxed and laughed nonchalantly, "It's good that we've really been mutated."

"Although the difficulty of clearing the level will increase, the drop rate will also increase accordingly."

"If we can get a mutated silver card, we'll make a fortune. After all, the quality of that thing is no less than that of a regular gold card."

Lu Ming spoke casually, but he secretly tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

babble--!

Above his head, the Gale Eagle's wings suddenly spread out, the feathers at the tips of its wings bristling, its amber pupils shrinking to pinpoints, and a low, warning growl rumbling from its throat.

It will charge into battle alongside its master as soon as the monster appears!

At this time...

Icy mist drifted in from the depths of the passageway, and eight colossal figures slowly materialized within it...

The wolf leader, walking at the forefront, was the first to step out of the icy mist.

The three of them stared intently, and their pupils simultaneously contracted.

The giant wolf before them was far larger than a typical Frost Dire Wolf, with a shoulder height of a person and a size even larger than a Flame Armor Rhinoceros.

Deep within its silvery-gray fur, faint ice-blue patterns peek through, like ancient ice veins sealed beneath the permafrost for millennia.

A deep scar ran from his left eyebrow bone down to his cheekbone, leaving only his right eye with a fierce, scarlet glint in its pupil!

[Dire Wolf Leader - Bloodeye: Ice Attribute]

[Card Quality: Mutated Silver]

[Card Beast Level: Tier 1, Stage 5]

[Potential: ☆☆☆☆]

[Talent: Frosty Body (Rank B) - Increases ice damage by 30% and reduces ice damage taken by 30%]

[Skills: Frost Breath (Rank A), Ice Shattering Charge (Rank B), Brutal Bite (Rank B)]

Overall combat strength: 550

"It really is a mutated dire wolf!" Zhao Long's expression instantly turned serious.

Although he couldn't discern the exact combat strength of the dire wolf leader, his extensive knowledge allowed him to determine that its combat strength was at least 400, or even higher!

If this were outside, and his cultivation level wasn't suppressed, Zhao Long could easily defeat it with just his spear.

But in this underground palace, his cultivation level was suppressed, and the leader of the dire wolves was able to kill him with ease!

At this moment, seven smaller wolf-like beasts stepped out from behind the leader of the dire wolves.

Each one had a fierce expression and an extremely imposing presence.

[Frost Dire Wolf: Ice Attribute]

[Card Quality: Silver]

[Card Beast Level: Tier 1, Stage 5]

[Potential: ☆☆☆]

[Skills: Ice Fang Bite (Rank C), Frost Breath (Rank C), Ice Shatter Charge (Rank C)]

Overall combat strength: 300~350

Generally, wild silver monsters at Tier 1, Stage 5 have a combat power of around 250.

After being carefully nurtured by the summoner, their combat power will be improved.

Even with improvements, it's difficult to cross the 300-point threshold.

These eight Frost Dire Wolves, the weakest of which has a combat power of 300 points and the strongest even reaches 350 points, demonstrate the strength of the guardian beasts projected into the underground palace.

Faced with the attack of eight giant wolves, the Flame Armor Rhinoceros immediately stood in front of its master, letting out a low howl, as if warning the leader of the dire wolves.

However, the dire wolf leader, with its deep, dark eyes, completely ignored its intimidation.

As Zhao Long watched the approaching wolf pack, he licked his lips, a hint of excitement in his eyes: "The probability of encountering a rare mutated leader monster in the dungeon is no more than three percent."

"We've hit the jackpot this time!"

"What if a card is dealt with later?"

"Heh, of course, it's the same old rule, we'll decide by drawing cards." Lu Ming smiled slightly, and his long sword suddenly trembled, spitting out azure flames.

Dugu Ying then said in a crisp, solemn voice, "I've heard that the Dire Wolf leader's combat strength is comparable to that of a Gold Card Beast of the same level. With just the three of us Silver Card Beasts, we are no match for him."

"We need to find two more supplementary cards."

The three exchanged a glance and began to manipulate the codex in perfect unison.

The pages of the Silverlight Codex moved automatically without wind, and the secondary cards in the card slot lit up one by one.

Om-!

As a series of deep ringing sounds rang out, beams of silver light shot out from the codex, standing on either side of the three geniuses.

As the light faded, six brand-new Silver Card Beasts had joined the battlefield.

Lu Ming's two supplementary cards were the first to appear.

The first one was a giant bear covered in rock armor, standing two meters tall at the shoulder, with paws like millstones.

The second one was a wind leopard surrounded by azure energy, its body as sleek as a knife.

Both of these monsters are from the side cards. Although they are not Lu Ming's main battle monsters, they are his frequently used cards, and both are at the first rank, fifth stage.

Their average combat strength is between 260 and 280.

Zhao Long's two supplementary cards followed closely behind.

The first one was a silver-horned beast, the size of a horse, with a single horn on its forehead, its four hooves treading on arcs of electricity.

The second one was a two-headed hound engulfed in dark red flames.

Zhao Long also summoned two secondary Kaka beasts, both of which were silver-level and at the fifth stage of the first tier.

Their average combat strength is between 260 and 280.

Like Lu Ming, Zhao Long did not summon his strongest card beast, since they still had to challenge the Frost Dragon Wolf in the end, and they had to save their trump cards for last.

"Come forth, Three-Tailed Fox, Silver Armor!"

Dugu Ying also summoned two secondary Kaka Beasts.

The first one was a three-tailed fox, entirely fiery red, with its three tails spread out and gleaming with flames, instantly raising the surrounding temperature.

The second one was a pangolin that was half a meter tall, covered in silver scales, clearly a defensive-oriented beast.

The three summon six secondary Kakamon to join the battle, increasing their combat power from 6 to 12.

In terms of numbers, they actually outnumbered the eight Frost Dire Wolves.

But the Dire Wolf leader's crimson single eye remained completely unmoved.

Awooo—!

It raised its head slightly, the silver-gray mane on its neck stood on end, and a short whimper came from its throat.

The seven dire wolves simultaneously lowered their bodies, braced their hind legs, and their silvery-white fur shimmered with a cold light in the icy mist!
