Exclusive sister card, unlimited evolution

This is especially true for the twenty or so people who escaped from the previous danger of overlapping card areas. As long as the benefits are big enough, they will not back down.

Giving everyone time to prepare, when Lu Yan and Li Xisheng arrived downstairs, Jiang Jiu was waiting at the door. Seeing them come out, she waved her hand:

"Well, are you two going to participate? If not, I can use my privileges to get you out."

Walking beside the pink-haired girl, Lu Yan was calculating the pros and cons and couldn't help but say, "Is it possible that a similar situation to Hujiang City will happen? I really don't want to take the risk."

Again, [Divine Craftsmanship] and [Riding the Same Boat] made him lack the desire to rush forward. If the development-type talents were replaced with talents that could make one stronger through fighting for life and death, then he would definitely be at the forefront.

But the reward given by Xiong Yue was too generous, and it was not just empty talk. Jiang Jiu confirmed that he was really willing to give it out.

At the same time, Lu Yan himself was more or less unwilling to see the suffering of the people. If there was a guarantee that it would not be too dangerous, such as a 6-star card master suddenly emerging from the card domain, he would give it a try.

To sum it up in one sentence - when there is profit to be made, he is willing to take certain risks to save people and complete the mission, but he will never die.

"Don't worry, these two are in the 1-3 star card area. The strongest monster can't be higher than Silver 6 stars."

Jiang Jiu comforted him, saying that it was similar to the situation in some fairy worlds, the higher the realm, the greater the gap in strength.

Bronze 3-star summons can surpass Silver 1, 2-star, Silver 5, and 6-star cards in some aspects. They alone cannot defeat Gold 1-star enemies unless they are "geniuses who can challenge higher levels."

Lu Yan believed that all his cards were of this type. He learned from Jiang Jiu that the BOSS he was going to fight would not be higher than the silver level, and he quickly made a decision:

"I go."

"Why are you cursing?"

Ignoring Jiang Jiu's complaints, Lu Yan looked at Li Xisheng. The two exchanged glances, and Li Xisheng nodded after a moment: "I'll go too. After all, I'm going to apply for the Card Master College, which should be good for my resume."

"Well, you are indeed someone I value. You are willing to risk your life to save the imperiled Tianwei City!"

Jiang Jiu nodded in satisfaction. Lu Yan and Li Xisheng said that it was entirely because Xiong Yue offered too much benefit. The store manager said with dismay:

"Tsk, remember, from now on you must speak from the perspective of justice. Being a hypocrite will make your life much easier."

After chatting and returning to the hotel, her expression became serious:

"Before we head to the dangerous card area, that bastard Xiong Yue has given you three hours to prepare. Those who want to upgrade their cards can upgrade their cards, and those who want to rest can rest. Then you two will enter the same card area."

"If we really encounter a problem that is difficult to handle, I will find a way to get you out. After all, I am your eldest sister."

Back in the room, Lu Yan took out his gains, placed the [Qigong Master] and [Ghost Girl] on the table, and took out the [Xiezhi Jade] and [Dead Soul Scroll].

There is only one Soul Gem so far, but this does not prevent Daisy from using the Tome of the Dead first.

After confirming again and again, he crushed the cards and turned them into reinforcing materials and merged them into the two cards.

About an hour later, the light faded away, and Fengxi's eyes on the card became brighter. His new skill was called [Mirror Stand].

Mirror: Reflect your true self and discern your true heart. When adding material cards, the probability of obtaining powerful skills is increased.

Star upgrade requirements: Fight to the death with an equally powerful opponent and successfully defeat it.

The new skills did not help her combat power much, but Lu Yan was not disappointed. As for Daisy's skill, it was called [Basic Necromancy], which included various low-level magic.

He put the card away and walked out of the room, waiting for Jiang Jiu and Li Xisheng in the lobby.

Not long after, a black-haired girl with rising momentum appeared on the stairs. It seemed that Li Xisheng had greatly improved his strength through the cards he bought at the auction.

"Be prepared, just in case I ask again, are you really going?"

Jiang Jiu asked again and again, worried that there was no falsehood. Since Lu Yan and Li Xisheng had made their decision and had no intention of changing their minds, he nodded vigorously.

"Okay, which card area should we go to?"

After calling a taxi and getting in, Lu Yan immediately said, "Let's go to the Dessert Forest. The Undead Dungeon is too disgusting. The forest is better."

"You should be aware that after the card domain fusion occurs, the original environment of the card domain may mutate or be strengthened."

Jiang Jiu reminded him, but Lu Yan had a different opinion: "If that's the case, then the Undead City is even more terrifying. There's a high probability that flesh and blood will be devoured."

"Let's go to the dessert forest. I want to see it too."

Li Xisheng also continued what Lu Yan said. The three of them drove close to the checkpoint and were told by AI Xiaoan that the area ahead had become a restricted area and they had to get off the car and move forward.

Entering the card area blocked by security personnel, passing by the front-line card masters who served the residents and protected their safety, they arrived at the portal to the Dessert Forest.

There were many card masters who had met before standing around, including the special card masters Lu Yan, who all felt uncomfortable all over.

They have now entered the transparent hemisphere, which is probably the dividing line where the card areas overlap.

Not long after, Xiong Yue's voice sounded:

"Very good, everyone is here. Now let's enter the portal. If you are not confident in your abilities, remember to find another card master to work with you immediately."

"We 6-star card masters can see inside from the outside world, so don't think about fighting among ourselves, or I will hold you accountable when you come out."

Knowing that the outside world can see clearly into the inside, those who are worried about being backstabbed by their companions will feel relieved.

The first people to enter the Dessert Forest were naturally the students of the 6-star card masters. After they entered, the security personnel followed closely behind, and finally the special card masters who were able to feel the fluctuations came in.

"Holding hands will increase the probability of being teleported to the same place. Hold hands."

Jiang Jiu reminded him before going in. Before Lu Yan could ask, Li Xisheng opened his arms and motioned him to hug him to increase the contact area.

He walked into the portal in a very strange posture. As the slight spatial fluctuation passed, Lu Yan stepped on the ground and subconsciously clasped his arms. There were two arms doing the same action to him.

After opening his eyes, Lu Yan confirmed that the person in his arms was Li Xisheng. He loosened his arms around her and looked around. When he looked into the distance, he was startled.

The sky was still clear on their side, but the scene not far away seemed to be torn apart, and half of the sky became dark.

That wasn't the sky, but the rock wall of the [Undead Dungeon].

No one knew how it was pieced together, but the card masters who entered the card area knew that they had to speed up.

Chapter 75 The person who suddenly spoke to me.

"Carefully feel the fluctuations in the card domain. It will lead you to key monsters and key locations. Due to the chaotic energy field caused by the overlap, communication will be interrupted. It's up to you—"

Xiong Yue's majestic voice pierced the world and resounded in the sky. Lu Yan tried to close his eyes to feel it, but unexpectedly he really felt it. Something was flowing towards the junction of the two card areas.

"Looks like we're going over there."

"Let's go."

The two of them took action and rushed towards the intersection. When they passed a forest path on the way, Lu Yan suddenly grabbed Li Xisheng's arm and pulled her back. Jin Leihu and Lamia, who followed them, attacked the forest.

A dazzling beam of energy shot out from the Golden Thunder Tiger's forehead, passed through the dessert trees in the forest, and hit the shadows lurking in the bushes. The unknown creature howled angrily and jumped out of the woods.

The one involved in the attack was the Bronze 2-star [Gummy Bear]. The one in front of him was brown, but its appearance and size were very different from what Lu Yan had seen before.

A normal gummy bear is only about one meter long at most, with a simple and honest posture and no attack ability. It is completely an underage baby bear, but the one in front of us showed full attack power.

The translucent brown gummy bear raised its giant claws and smashed down, but before it could exert any force, Lamia leaped up and arrived first. Liquid alloy flowed out of her arms and gathered into a long sword in her palm, which instantly cut through the gummy bear's neck and fell to the ground.

Its head fell off, and the mechanical maid made a beautiful sword flower. The long sword turned into liquid alloy and merged into her body again. Lu Yan stepped forward to observe the gummy bear, and continued to move forward with Li Xisheng.

"Golden Thunder Tiger, carry us."

The eldest lady patted the tiger's head and turned around to sit on it. Lu Yan also jumped onto its back. The giant tiger had no objection to this. It flicked its tail to unleash its true speed and sprinted through the forest.

Lamia stayed close to them, and the two people sitting on its back were feeling uncomfortable because of the strong wind. It was difficult to open their mouths or eyes.

"All the monsters have gone berserk."

Li Xisheng said seriously.

All the dessert monsters seen along the way have undergone mutations. The originally cute monsters have become ferocious in appearance and brutal in actions. The monsters that were already full of malice have become even bigger and more cruel.

The lying chocolate gray wolf evolved into a werewolf, standing on its legs and attacking the card master. The original food chain and fighting relationship in the card domain also collapsed. They no longer attacked each other, but fought specifically with the card master.

After crashing through the trees made of brown hard candy blocks, Li Xisheng immediately called a stop. All the special card masters nearby had gathered in this area. It was certain that the special monsters that appeared due to the fusion of card domains were nearby.

Everyone was trying desperately to sense the BOSS's location, and as a card master shouted "Here", everyone's attention was drawn there.

Lu Yan and Li Xisheng followed the crowd through the woods. Suddenly, something that had never been there before appeared in the forest. A huge villa made of desserts stood under the dense shade of trees. The aroma it emitted made some foodies swallow their saliva subconsciously.

"Are there any locals here? There wasn't a place like this in Dessert Forest before."

"No,"

A card artist showed up and summoned a dessert monster, saying, "This building definitely didn't exist before!"

"Don't rush into action. Spread out and observe first. If there's no problem, concentrate your firepower and blow up this villa!"

The group of students from the Card Master Academy took on the responsibility of leading others, directing them to spread out and investigate the situation in the surrounding areas.

The two were searching in the surrounding jungle when suddenly Lu Yan's temple and right eyelid twitched rapidly. He quickly turned around and saw a blonde girl wearing a colorful hooded cloak appear beside them.

"Hello, I want to ask you what you have discovered."

The girl nodded and stepped back to show that she had no ill intentions. Lu Yan raised his eyebrows. Judging from the appearance of the person in front of him, it was obvious that he was not from the Mailong Kingdom. He might be a creature from the Kayu.

The palms on his back signaled Lamia and Li Xisheng to prepare for battle. He glanced at some other places and saw outsiders, so he lowered his guard slightly.

"I didn't find anything. I think you should go find the person in charge."

"Ok."

The blonde girl stared at Lu Yan, then nodded slightly and turned away. Li Xisheng leaned over and whispered:

"Be careful. There aren't many card masters who will talk to strangers at this time, or who are called in to ask about our cards. There might be something wrong."

He carefully recalled the card master he saw on the 88th floor of the building. He should be able to remember such a beautiful girl...

Well, everyone's attention was on Xiong Yue and Jiang Jiu at that time, so the others didn't see clearly. From now on, I can only act carefully and pay attention to the person who suddenly talked to me.

The 6-star card student obviously regarded himself as the captain. Three minutes later, he called everyone to gather and confirmed that there were no other cards around, completely locking down the dessert house.

"Are we going in?"

"Why are you going in? The firepower outside is so strong that it will blow this house down!"

Now that there are so many card masters here, even if the monsters in the card area become stronger due to the increase in the number of card masters, they will still be severely damaged after one round of firepower.

Absolute fire suppression is definitely safer than entering the villa. Summoned creatures were called out one by one, the battle card master charged up his skills, and Lu Yan symbolically let Lamia carry the sniper rifle.

"Fire! Fire!"

Streams of light of various colors and physical bullets shot up into the sky and fell towards the candy house almost at the same time, even covering the surrounding area.

Suddenly, a wall of earth made of various foods such as cake bases, bread bases and chocolates rose from the ground, forming a hemispherical cover that enveloped the candy house.

The roar of artillery fire stirred up a lot of smoke and dust, and earth and rocks flew everywhere. A clearing was directly blasted out in the forest. The sudden earth walls were completely destroyed, and the candy house became dilapidated.

But just one second later, the scattered food, influenced by unknown energy, gathered towards the abandoned candy house.

Some card masters reacted and immediately sent their cards forward to finish off the enemy. Within a hundred meters around the house, giant hands formed by countless desserts emerged and gripped the cards forcefully!

"Wooo ...

The hand that failed to catch the summoned creature pressed the soil under the pit, and the whole dessert house shook. The fairy-tale-like villa began to twist and deform.

The candied windows were like eyes constantly squeezing, the door was splitting in the middle, the sharp teeth were opening and closing and rubbing, and the corners of the giant mouth were cracked very wide, revealing the interior of the house.

The walls were sticky with sugary liquid, the furniture was throbbing like organs, and a giant monster appeared in front of everyone!

"Be careful to dodge, activate the protective shield, and those who are lagging behind, retreat quickly!"

The activated candy house did not scare the card masters, especially the 6-star card master students, who either rushed forward themselves or summoned very powerful monsters to attack.

Chapter 76: Strategy Instance

"Aren't we going to participate?"

"They're all on, let's not cause more trouble."

Lu Yan grabbed Li Xisheng's hand and stepped back. The candy house had the power to control the food around it, and this was completely its home ground.

But the card masters are not there to sit back and do nothing. The academic card masters who have more resources have demonstrated absolute strength advantages. Their numerous summons created long-range firepower, suppressing it so that it could not move at all.

They kept calling out names of skills, and chains of different colors, nails or suppression-type skills fell on the candy house. It didn't even have a chance to attack after just jumping up.

The activated candy house was severely suppressed. It roared angrily, and energy fluctuations surged, creating ripples on the shield.

The card masters who entered the battle found that the candyization of their cards accelerated, and many of them showed signs of turning into desserts from the outside to the inside.

Some combat card masters have become desserts themselves. Since they have to do it themselves, they cannot use surrounding energy shields and can only cover their bodies with a layer of energy as protection.

Without corresponding defensive skill cards or techniques, the Candy House's fluctuations easily penetrated their body's surface protection, causing abnormalities starting from their nails and hair.
