Chapter 31: It Was Really a Forced Combination of Words

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhou Nan quickly made a decision. He put away the 4-star Cannon Follower and Capricorn Rat, and bravely walked toward the Spiked Dragon Turtle.

He would commit suicide and get a free return to the city.

In the Square Temple, players would not lose anything if they died. However, they would turn into a ghost in their own temple base and revive in seconds.

The first revival required 30 seconds. After that, every time they died, the revival time would be doubled.

Half a minute later, Zhou Nan resurrected. The first thing he did was to ring the war drum in front of the hunting cabin.

The hunting cabin was the exclusive barracks owned by the Temple of Tranquility. Currently, two types of soldiers had been unlocked, namely the Jungle Archers and the Flying Blade Warriors. The training limit for both was 30. Currently, all of them had completed their training.

The war drum in front of the hunting cabin was the assembly war drum. As long as the player rang the war drum, the soldiers trained from the barracks would follow the player into battle. Otherwise, the soldiers would only patrol and defend the base.

Zhou Nan sounded the war drum, and 30 Forest Archers and 30 Flying Blade Warrior followed behind him.

“Follow me to fight against the Star Stray Cat… Ah, the Heroic Bear sentry towers are blocking my way… Do I have to demolish it myself?”

Zhou Nan thought to himself that Dali was too weak, and she did not attack him at all. He had wasted his sentry tower.

He released his card and brought the Jungle Archers out the door. He forcefully demolished the two hero sentry towers and rushed straight to the 9 Spawn Point. Soon, he saw the Star Stray Cat.

This Star Stray Cat was quite scary. More than 60% of its body was mechanized. Its body was covered in silver metal armor. It was like a high-tech robot cat. It stepped on a silver skateboard that could float in the air, on its back was a rocket launcher. It was a flying unit that could launch tracking missiles to attack the enemy. It had a very strong long-range damage output, and its DPS was above 500!

Zhou Nan was not afraid of it. The large group rushed forward, and Panda stood in front, quickly taking it down.

“Region announcement: Star Stray Cat has been killed. Temple of Tranquility has unlocked Gale Halo technology, and the technology Halo Tower has been unlocked. Affected by it, all long-range units on the Temple of Tranquility’s side have their attack speed increased by 25%! If the Halo Tower is destroyed, the technology effect will be removed.”

[Ding! Congratulations on killing the Stray Star Cat. You have obtained a Star Stray Cat card]

Zhou Nan felt relaxed. At this moment, he took out the Star Stray Cat card. This was probably the easiest green card for players to obtain.

Zhou Nan took a quick look and discovered that there was no difference between the Star Stray Cat card and the one in his memory. This was a 1-star green card. Using the Star Stray Cat summoned by it, he was able to identify himself as an assassin. He possessed a skill called Meteor Fist, when he used it, he would quickly pounce on his target and punch him. This would increase his physical damage by an additional 100 points. Furthermore, there was a 1% chance of stunning the target for 0.1 seconds!

All in all, the battle prowess of the Star Stray Cat was just average. It was not even as good as some of the white card summoned beasts.

“After all, it’s a green card. Why don’t I use it to combine with the Capricorn Rat? Both of them are green cards. Let’s see what can be produced.”

Zhou Nan led his troops towards the base Dali’s base, while he used card synthesis.

[Ding, this card synthesis requires 20 mana points!]

[Ding, due to the influence of the Black Card Synthesis talent, this card synthesis has created its own secret recipe. 1-star green card Capricorn Rat, Flame Swallow and 1-star green card Star Stray Cat, Miqilo, definite chance of the mutated black card. Calculating…]

[Ding! Congratulations on synthesizing 1-star black card, ‘Meteor Cat, Flame’!] 

Zhou Nan was stunned for a moment, then he scratched his head and said, “This is really a forced combination of words. Can’t there be a Star Stray Rat or something like that?”

He once again experienced the pattern of Black Card Synthesis. Looking at the information of Meteor Cat, Flame’s attributes, he found that it was not bad. It also had one skill, and it was the Fiery Fist. It could be considered as Meteor Fist having the special effect of the fireball. With one punch, it would deal an additional 100 magic damage. Moreover, it could ignite the target and deal 30 fire magic damage per second to it. It lasts for 10 seconds.

Zhou Nan released Meteor Cat, Flame and found that it was a big cat with flaming horns on its head. It was the size of a calf. Its two front claws were burning with flames, and its eyes were also burning with flames, it looked quite powerful.

However, its body was still too fragile, and its hp was only 12,000. It was classified as a close-combat mage.

“It’s not bad, right? This guy can be considered the second strongest general under my command!”

Zhou Nan was still quite satisfied. Next, he cleared the monsters along the way. Soon, he arrived at Dali’s temple base.

“It’s time to clean up! Where did this girl get the confidence to fight against me in Square Temple? She clearly doesn’t know how to fight at all!”

Zhou Nan sighed. Then, he pointed at a huge tombstone in front of him and shouted, “Destroy it!”

“Target locked, fire!”

The 4-star Cannon Follower was the first to launch an attack. Panda, the Field Black Bears, the Forest Archers, and the Flying Blade Warriors also immediately focused their fire.

That huge tombstone was the barracks building of the Temple of Curse. It corresponded to the hunting cabin of the temple of Tranquility. Its durability was 50,000. Currently, it had unlocked two types of soldiers. One was the Skeleton Soldier, and the other was a Necromancer.

When it was attacked, Dali received a system notification. She was currently leading her troops to fight Rocket Raccoon. That Rocket Raccoon’s firepower was extremely fierce, and it had even taken out half of her hp.

“What! He’s attacking my barracks? This damned little trash doesn’t care about ethics. He actually dared to launch a sneak attack!”

Dali panicked. What should she do now? Should she run back?

She could not care less about Rocket Raccoon anymore, she hurriedly brought a group of small soldiers and rushed to her base. Halfway there, she received a system notification.

[Ding, the undead tombstone in the barracks has been destroyed, the Temple of Curse has been weakened, the training of Skeleton Soldiers and Necromancers has been interrupted. After killing 60 wild monsters, the barracks can be rebuilt!]

“Damn it! Just you wait!”

Dali gritted her teeth and rushed even more urgently to her own base. However, when she returned, she did not see a single enemy in sight.

“What’s going on? That damned little trash ran away?”

Dali stomped her feet in anger. “Where is his base? I’ll go and fight him!”

Zhou Nan had already brought the large group back to his home base. If he wanted to win, he could just directly destroy the Temple of Curse’s iconic building, the Cursed Temple. However, he could not bear to leave the game so early.

“I’ll return to the base and continue to build towers. I’ll get the Jungle Archers and Flying Blade Warriors to defend the base. I’ll just leisurely fight and unlock more monsters and give the Cannon Follower a few more cannon shots…”

However, Zhou Nan did not expect to see a huge black bear the size of a small truck suddenly drill out from the ground in front of him.

“Region announcement, please pay attention. Savage Earth Bear has appeared. Coordinates: 966; 433. Kill Savage Earth Bear, unlock random temple technology. There is a higher chance of obtaining a white card and a lower chance of obtaining a green card. (the card reward is limited to the first kill)”

“I just happened to pass by the spawn spot.. This is the will of the heavens, so I have to kill it! Charge!”
