Chapter 208 [Greedy Beast] and [Hollow Demon Bat]
Chapter 208 [Greedy Beast] and [Hollow Demon Bat]
The orange-yellow afterglow of the setting sun shines on the endless vast plain.
The gray mouse was raising its head and sniffing as if it was exploring something.
It was not until a black and red meteor streaked across the sky that it was startled and rushed into the cave behind it.
"This time the secret realm is bigger than ever before."
In the air, Russell, who had transformed into an arrogant form, thought silently.
He has been in the secret place called the Mutual Cannibalism Wilderness for some time.
As a result, after flying for a long time, he still hadn't reached the destination he had chosen this time.
"But it seems that the demons this time are not very intelligent and often fight among themselves."
Thinking of the secret realm information he obtained before entering, Russell didn't know what to say for a moment.
The information said that this [Mutual Cannibalism Wilderness] was different from the normal secret realm when it first appeared.
Because there was no secret realm invasion incident.
And the demons inside don’t care whether they have reached the Blue Planet or not.
When the association's card makers entered, all they saw was endless fighting.
The fight between demons.
It seems that killing one's own kind is more important than attacking the card maker.
Therefore, after the association sent high-level card makers to patrol and ensure that there were no high-risk monsters, they allowed it to grow wildly.
However, every once in a while, a card maker above Emerald level will be sent in to clean up the area in case any demons break through.
"arrive."
Looking at the divided areas on the phone, Russell stopped himself in the air.
After sweeping with the huge gold-level mental power to make sure there were no threats nearby, Russell landed on the ground.
At the same time, Misaka Mikoto appeared beside him.
Invisible electromagnetic waves surrounded her, instantly transforming the brown-haired girl into a humanoid radar.
"The data said that the Gluttonous Beast was fighting for territory with a Hollow Demon Bat recently. Why is there no movement at all?"
Looking at the relatively calm surroundings, Russell couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Just at this moment, a dark beam of light shot straight into the sky from a distant place.
Each person and card instantly attracted attention.
"Over there?"
In just a breath, Russell made the decision to go and see what was going on.
However, since he now only has one gold-level card, Misaka Mikoto, Russell decided to continue using the tactics he used in [Infinite Eyes] for the sake of safety.
He let the ghost soldiers lead the way, and he followed far behind.
An inky shadow spread out under Russell's feet, carrying him and Misaka Mikoto into the kingdom of shadows.
Not long after, the ghost soldier who led the charge brought news to Russell.
"Just ahead?"
While thinking, Russell and the other man dived into the shadows again. When he reappeared, he felt two powerful auras coming towards him.
"This intensity?"
At the same time, in a high-tech monitoring room somewhere in [Mutual Food Wilderness], three gold-level card makers were putting their feet on the table and chatting nonsensically.
"I didn't expect we would meet such a genius."
A white-haired card maker took a sip of the steaming tea in his hand and said casually with a sigh.
"Hey, no matter how talented he is, it doesn't matter to us. Aren't we all choosing this job for retirement?" A fat middle-aged card maker shrugged and changed the subject. "When are you going to leave today, Mr. Su?"
"Is your granddaughter supposed to be out of school?"
The white-haired card maker raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "It's probably still half an hour, I'll be leaving soon."
"This secret realm still depends on you two. I'm too old to be of any use."
The middle-aged card maker waved his hands repeatedly: "Mr. Su, that's not right. We should do it."
A card maker next to him who looked to be in his thirties seemed a little uncomfortable with the conversation between the two and turned his head away silently.
Since he took up this position, Mr. Su has left work early every day.
But he could understand it. After all, the other party was about to retire, and no one would care even if he reported it to the association.
Before a new card maker joins the company, the two of them will have to do the work of three.
As he was thinking, he was suddenly attracted by the scene on the surveillance screen: "Mr. Su, Brother Xu, come and take a look!"
"Is there something wrong with these two demons?"
Hearing this, the two people who were chatting couldn't help but look over.
But after a moment, they returned to their original state: "Oh, it's okay, this level is nothing."
"If there is a real problem, Russell will run away on his own."
"Don't underestimate genius, Xiao Wang."
Seeing the two people's attitudes, Xiao Wang couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
After a moment of silence, he stood up and quickly opened the door: "No, I'm still worried. I'll go over and take a look. I'll leave this place to you."
Having said that, he summoned the vehicle card and left without waiting for the two to react.
The two looked at each other when they saw this, and finally Brother Xu smoothed things over: "Xiao Wang has only been here for a short time, and he may not have adapted to the work of this position yet. Don't take it to heart, Mr. Su."
Su Lao shook his head slightly: "Why would I be angry with young people?"
There is no card maker who remains in the coastal areas without some anger in his heart.
He looked like this when he was young.
"Old"
The earth is wailing.
The dark breath streaked across the ground, leaving behind traces of hideous damage.
Russell and Misaka Mikoto stood behind a tree and watched the two beasts fighting not far away.
"Yes, it's the [Greedy Beast] and the [Hollow Demon Bat]."
The attack launched at this time was by the [Hollow Demon Bat], a giant bat covered in pitch black.
As for the [Greedy Beast], please forgive Russell for not being able to tell what kind of animal it is.
Maybe it’s a species unique to the secret realm.
"We'll freeze our hands after they're both defeated."
Russell rubbed the head of Misaka Mikoto, who was eager to make a move beside him.
"But speaking of which, this [Greedy Beast] doesn't fight back?"
In his eyes, the demon named [Greedy Beast] seemed to have no desire to resist the attack of [Hollow Demon Bat].
A policy has been implemented since Russell saw it.
That's me eating fucking eating eating eating eating!
Grass, land, edible and inedible, it was all swallowed up anyway.
If the [Hollow Demon Bat] hadn't launched long-range attacks, the [Greedy Beast] might have taken a bite.
The two beasts remained in a stalemate.
After a long time, the [Greedy Beast] stopped eating and stood there motionless.
Just when Russell thought it was preparing to strike back.
"belch!!"
A deafening burp sounded, causing the corner of his eye to twitch.
After burping, the [Greedy Beast] seemed to have eaten and drunk enough, and was ready to leave this place leisurely.
The [Hollow Demon Bat] was undoubtedly angered by the scene before it.
When Bi Yang was just born, it stayed in this area obediently and didn't bother anyone else. This [gluttonous beast] came to it for food every day without fail, as if it had taken the wrong medicine.
Look at the surroundings!
It was completely bare, as if it had been gnawed by a dog.
Damn, this is its back garden!
Of course the main reason is that many prey in its territory ran away because of the arrival of the other party.
It will either move away and fight for territory with others, or starve to death. Thinking of this, grief and anger surged in my heart.
For a while, Shinobu thinks more and more angry, and takes a step back and thinks more and more losses.
A giant black energy ball that absorbed all the colors around it gradually condensed from its mouth.
The next moment, the ground was torn apart in an instant, and the energy ball hit the [Greedy Beast] in an instant.
The black energy, as if to devour everything, spread silently in all directions.
Russell, who was not far away, narrowed his eyes when he saw this. The ghost soldier immediately led them to retreat: "Isn't this power a bit too exaggerated?!"
"Don't ruin my material!"
He was now afraid that the [Greedy Beast] would be destroyed by this attack, and then he would have no choice but to find another [Greedy Beast].
Is there still a problem?
This is an endangered animal.
As for why it is endangered, don't ask. Even an honest person like the [Hollow Demon Bat] has been irritated. Those who understand will understand.
Fortunately, the [Greedy Beast] that appeared in his eyes a moment later was intact, but its breath was much weaker.
"Gurgle!" The sound of his stomach growling like thunder rang in Russell's ears.
Looking at the [Greedy Beast] who lowered his head and began to eat the dirt, Russell was a little speechless: "Does this meal have to be eaten?"
In fact, at this time, as long as the [Hollow Demon Bat] launches the same attack again, it can eliminate the pervert who invaded its territory.
But feeling the equally weak big bat, Russell couldn't help but grin: "While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."
"I will treat your material well."
Thick dark clouds were now piling up above the two beasts, and arcs of electricity were occasionally running through Misaka Mikoto's body.
During this short period of time, they were not just watching the show.
Next to Russell, a black-haired boy also raised his right hand.
"Hurry up!"
Xiao Wang sat on his vehicle card, looking at the black beams of light flashing from time to time in the distance, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
The closer he got to his destination, the more he could feel the strong aura of the two demons.
“How could a cleanup of this intensity have been missed last time?”
Xiao Wang was puzzled.
However, what he didn't know was that the Emerald-level card maker who came last time did find that the strength of [Greedy Beast] and [Hollow Demon Bat] was a little bit over the limit.
But after observing for a while, I found that one of these two monsters just wanted to eat, and the other just wanted to hide in a tree hole like a house bat. They were basically not threatening, so I kept them as material reserves.
At this moment, waves swept over Xiao Wang who was flying rapidly.
In his eyes, the spherical energy wave was constantly expanding its range.
His pupils trembled: "An attack of this intensity..."
"Will the genius not die there that day?!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up a bit.
At this time, the raindrops were repelled by the energy shield of his card.
"Why does it rain at this time?"
Xiao Wang gritted his teeth and continued moving towards his destination.
However, just when he was extremely anxious, two dazzling pillars of lightning suddenly pierced through the clouds and hit the ground.
The dazzling light made Xiao Wang squint his eyes.
What followed was a huge roar.
"boom!!"
If an ordinary person were here, he would probably have his eardrum damaged and become temporarily deaf.
Xiao Wang stared blankly at the lightning column that was gradually dissipating in the distance, and opened his mouth: "Is that the attack of that genius?"
As a gold-level card maker, he could naturally feel the power of the two falling lightning bolts. At this moment, he couldn't help but put himself in the shoes of what he would do if he faced these two attacks head-on.
"Is he going to die?"
“You will definitely die”
In fact, when choosing this position, Xiao Wang still had the idea of making a comeback, thinking that one day he might be able to produce strong cards and return to the front line.
But what just happened dealt him a heavy blow.
In this way, he slowly approached his destination with a feeling of loss.
What caught his eye was a young man who was looking at the materials in his hands.
"Oh, it's you." The young man noticed his arrival and looked up to greet him, "What can I do for you?"
As if he had thought of something, the young man couldn't help but become a little nervous: "Or are these two monsters in the hunting prohibited area?"
Xiao Wang spoke out his purpose with difficulty, his words tinged with bitterness: "I saw from the surveillance that the strength of these two demons is a little off, I was a little worried, so I came to take a look."
The young man was startled and seemed a little surprised, but he immediately smiled gently: "Thank you for your kindness, but two gold-level monsters can't hurt me."
Xiao Wang was silent for a moment, then left in a hurry, saying "I'll go first."
The young man was left watching him go away with some confusion.
After a long while, the door of the monitoring room was pushed open again. Elder Su and Brother Xu looked at Xiao Wang, who was somewhat distraught: "What happened?"
"Being bullied?"
Xiao Wang glanced at the two of them, then stared at the young man on the surveillance screen in a daze: "You are right, a genius like this really doesn't need me to worry about him."
The two of them understood instantly that this child's heart was broken, and they couldn't help but comfort him: "Hey, don't compare yourself with this kind of monster."
"Calm down a bit, I think you have the talent to be a master, little king!"
"?"
On the other side, Russell watched the garrisoned card makers he had seen when he entered the secret realm go away, and couldn't help but mutter: "I thought these two couldn't be killed."
The two lightning bolts just now were naturally released by Misaka Mikoto and Sasuke.
As early as when she saw the two beasts fighting and had no time to pay attention to the changes in the external environment, Misaka Mikoto had already accumulated dark clouds above their heads.
As a level 5 ability user, it is extremely easy for the brown-haired girl to generate a thundercloud.
Although her lightning strikes don't seem to be very powerful in the original novel, it depends on the target of the attack.
The tortoise shell that split Aleister was indeed not strong enough.
But it is more than enough to chop down two gold-level monsters.
Not to mention Sasuke's [Lightning Release: Kirin].
"It's been quite rewarding."
Putting aside what happened just now, Russell looked at the material in his hand with a smile on his face.
Gold-level red [Greedy Beast], gold-level red [Hollow Demon Bat].
"Two red materials, a profit."
"If they hadn't fought, I would have had a lot of trouble."
[Greedy Beast]'s defense and recovery in its heyday were so strong that even Russell's card attacks took a long time to defeat the opponent.
The attack power of the [Hollow Demon Bat] naturally needs no further mention.
If Russell ate it without any preparation, he would only end up in frustration.
Burying his joy deep in his heart, he began to think about the uses of the two materials.
[Greedy Beast] Needless to say, Russell has already prepared a place for it.
In fact, if there are more suitable materials on hand, Russell thinks this material can also be used to make the cute king slime.
It's a pity that he only has the [Flesh-eating Spider].
Although the cards we are going to make this time have great potential and strength.
As for the [Hollow Demon Bat].
Russell actually has some ideas, but they still need to be carefully thought out.
After collecting the two materials, Russell transformed into a black and red giant and rushed into the sky.
"Then I just need to use my points to exchange for another set of materials and I can start making the first gold-level card for the vest."
