18: Chapter 18 The Beast Card Strikes 18: Chapter 18 The Beast Card Strikes Though Su Ran’s attributes had doubled, he still didn’t dare to bravely charge into the battlefield as if he were a hot-blooded man, fighting and lusting for blood. 160 health points… this little amount of health wasn’t even enough to get by, even zombies had 200 health points! Having surveyed the layout and situation of Novice Village, Su Ran suddenly understood and walked towards the nearby potion shop, giggling. Wow, agility at 12 points felt great; it was like he was flying while walking! “Ding! The Player Skeleton killed the Potion Shop Owner, and the Human Race NPC’s friendliness reduced by 100 points.” Not long after, Su Ran dejectedly walked out of the potion shop, resentfully thinking, “This damn system is so stingy. Even when the shop owner is gone, it won’t let me take some unclaimed potions. Damn it!” Surveying the surroundings, Su Ran took advantage of the fact that the players hadn’t noticed him yet and quickly snuck into an armor shop. “Ding! The Player Skeleton killed the Weapon Shop Owner, and the Human Race NPC’s friendliness reduced by 100 points.” “Ding! The Player Skeleton killed the Armor Shop Owner, and the Human Race NPC’s friendliness reduced by 100 points.” “Ding! The Player Skeleton killed the Grocery Shop Owner, and the Human Race NPC’s friendliness reduced by 100 points.” “Ding! The Player Skeleton killed the Jewelry Shop Owner, and the Human Race NPC’s friendliness reduced by 100 points.” Su Ran sneaked out and happened to bump into a newbie player coming for potions. They ended up face-to-face with each other. Both of them were dumbfounded. Seizing this opportunity, Su Ran instantly slapped two pieces of paper onto the player’s face. “Bang!” “-174” (Lucky Crit) “-87” New players typically had low health. This one didn’t even have a chance to take out his weapon before being taken down, spilling a bunch of mana potions everywhere. Huh? Why no healing potions? Oh, right, this guy was here to get potions. Could this be considered a huge haul? Su Ran’s eyes sparkled with greed as he hurriedly swept everything into his inventory. It was then he realized that having a luck of 12 was amazing! Just like a bug! Just as Su Ran was getting excited, he suddenly realized a serious problem. When players die, they could revive. There was no amazing effect of a Corpse-locking and Spirit-bewildering Array in Novice Village, so he had to hurry! (Su Ran had forgotten that this was a village attack battle; when players die, they couldn’t use gold coins to revive. They could only wait for 30 minutes after death.) Looking at the unlucky bloke on the ground, he dashed into an alley, rummaging in his inventory until he finally found something. [Common Card] [Hell Hound] (Rare Monster) ★★★ Attack: 78-92 Qi Blood: 1000 Defense: 60 Agility: 9 Skill: Hellfire—Summons flames from hell, total attack increases by 30%, range 3X3, becomes weak for 3 minutes after using this skill. Note: A juvenile form of a three-headed hellhound, it possesses powerful combat strength. The card creature only lasts for 10 minutes after the card is used. A dog with 9 agility! Waka waka, players ah, all you top scorers, are so few of you able to fill the gaps between my teeth? Summon, Hell Hound! As soon as the beast card was used, it instantly emitted a cluster of black smoke. After the smoke dissipated, a two-meter tall, ferocious, golden-colored hound appeared in front of the little skeleton. Its body ignited with indestructible Hellfire, exuding an absolute air of dominance and power! But immediately afterward, the hound actually ran over and squatted next to the skeleton’s leg bone, put out its tongue in a pleasing manner, and started wagging its tail… Su Ran instantly became the center of attention. “See those nine men over there? First take down the ice mage named You Qian, then go after those warriors!” Su Ran ordered solemnly in a language understandable to the Hell Hound, and the dog actually understood! “Oh yeah, make use of your speed advantage. Don’t just stand there and let the players slaughter you! Did you get that?” Su Ran lectured like a primary school teacher. The Hell Hound nodded continuously, wagging its tail even more vigorously. … “Big Flower! Big Flower! Something bad has happened!” A novice player cried out to Hua Yan in panic after receiving a message. “What’s wrong?” Hua Yan was in the middle of casting one spell after another, focusing her attacks on the eerie specter. Seeing the player approach her in a manner that suggested he wasn’t faking panic, she asked curiously. “A skeleton has respawned in the village! It’s very aggressive! It instantly killed my potion-carrying friend and even scattered his potions everywhere! This is what my friend told me when he was murdered…” Knowing the seriousness of the situation, the player reported everything without leaving out any details. “What!” Hua Yan’s pupils immediately widened. Not caring about the annoying blood-sucking spell attacks from the specter, she turned to look towards the Novice Village. And what she saw made her shriek and back away several steps in terror! A giant hound, engulfed in dark red flames, was baring its fangs and running towards them at full speed. The crimson tongue was hanging out of its mouth. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. By the time Hua Yan noticed it, the ferocious beast had already reached them, its gaping maw firmly clamping down on the neck of an unprepared You Qian. It seemed to physically lift You Qian up and started dragging him back. Having never faced such a horrifying situation before, You Qian passed out on the spot. His emotions got the better of him in reality, and he was forcefully logged out of the game. Hua Yan was a girl after all, and it wasn’t strange for her to have this sort of subconscious reaction. Watching You Qian being assaulted and dragged off by the hound, she instantly cast a powerful Fire Shield spell around her. Then, lifting her wand, she cast an energy-consuming Fire Bundle Strike at the charging hound. “Ni Wudao, retreat into the village! Kill the hound and rescue the ice mage You Qian!” As Hua Yan’s magic attack proved ineffective, she urgently shouted at Ni Wudao. They couldn’t afford any more losses! “Heh, sure feels good to be commanding me, ain’t it, Flower?” Ni Wudao chuckled without arguing and charged towards the Hell Hound. But before Ni Wudao could reach the Hell Hound, he found the beast waiting for him, the already carcass of You Qian lying beneath it, cut clean in two. The hound had discarded the body casually. Several of You Qian’s items and potions littered the ground. Ni Wudao faltered. Was this a trap? He could’ve sworn he saw the hound smirking. “Damn rebellious beast! This is just a game monster, how could it have such high intelligence!” After checking the Hell Hound’s traits, Ni Wudao was more assured. If it had been a three-headed Hell Hound, he would’ve turned and ran without hesitation. But this was just a solo hound with an attack of 78-92 and a mere 1000 Qi Blood. It would be defeated in a few strikes! That darn Hua Yan, she was simply making a mountain out of a molehill! Ni Wudao raised his big cleaver and launched a ‘Jump Cut’ towards the Hell Hound. The beast was certainly not harmless, it sidestepped to evade Ni Wudao’s surely fatal blow and landed a paw on him. “-4” Damn, it broke his defense! And he was wearing level 30 armor! “-5” Just as Ni Wudao was still stunned, the hound turned around and swiped him again, taking another 5 of his Qi Blood. Ni Wudao swung his large cleaver, knocking the hound back. He then launched a Falling Leaf Attack. The Hell Hound whimpered in pain, sinking its teeth into Ni Wudao’s attacking arm. Its sharp teeth penetrated right through Ni Wudao’s arm. After shaking Ni Wudao until he was dazed, the hound threw him aside. Just then, a flaming piece of paper flew through the air, plastering itself on Ni Wudao’s face. “Bang!” “-87”
