My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 74 Learning the Routine

Zhou Nan was surprised to find that killing the player with the treasure chest would bring extra rewards. He went forward to inspect it and was pleasantly surprised.

Among the items dropped by players from this treasure chest, excluding ordinary low-level materials such as wolf pelts and wolf fangs, there were actually two Wild Gems, one Sunset Gem, an unbound and unidentified six-star white card, and 129 gold coins.

"What a huge treasure chest! Much more profitable than opening chests in the wild, this is equivalent to a few thousand gold coins dropped in one go!"

Zhou Nan was secretly delighted. He guessed that the phenomenon of the dropped items was a side effect of the transformation treasure chest. Now that he had a Wild Gem, he immediately took out the [Great Demon Chen Batian], a [Demon Crystal], and a [Sage's Blood].

The card enhancement activated, and with a "ding," the Great Demon Chen Batian was upgraded to two stars.

The two-star Chen Batian's HP has been increased to 20000, his attack power has been increased to an exaggerated 600, and his HP recovery speed has been increased to 20 points per second. Other attributes and skills remain unchanged, and the secret recipe for strengthening and star-up also remains unchanged.

"The taunt skill heals him for 10% of his maximum health. Chen Batian currently has 20,000 health. Laughing for one second he heals him for 2000 health, and laughing for ten seconds he heals him for 20,000 health. Considering the automatic health regeneration, theoretically, you would need to deal 306 damage per second to kill him. His attack power is a bit exaggerated. If he were upgraded to nine stars, with an attack power of 2700, that would be a god-tier card..."

Zhou Nan silently calculated that the materials needed to upgrade the Great Demon Chen Batian to one star, converted into gold coins according to the current market price in the trading market, would be approximately 7100. Upgrading him to nine stars would require a total of 63900 gold coins!

This cost isn't low; you have to understand that Zhou Nan only spent 6000 gold coins to buy the six-star green Ice Wolf King card before.

However, good cards are hard to come by and can't be bought with just gold coins. Zhou Nan thought it was still worthwhile to use 7100 gold coins to upgrade Chen Batian by one star.

As for the unidentified six-star white card, Zhou Nan identified it on the spot and obtained a [Man-eating Flower - Spreading]. According to its attribute information, the Man-eating Flower is an immobile plant-type summon that can devour small units with armor of three points or less. However, it can only devour the target when it is close. Moreover, after devouring the target, the Man-eating Flower cannot continue to devour or launch an attack until the target is completely digested.

Zhou Nan felt that this card was somewhat useless, so he put it into his storage bag.

At this very moment, [This melon is not ripe] was cursing loudly in his own mission hall.

He transformed into a mimic, possessing a full 15000 health points. He felt that this was already quite tough, much more resilient than his small, untransformed body. Moreover, he could devour small units that came close to him, so he would basically transform immediately upon entering Sunset Forest.

However, transforming into a treasure chest also has drawbacks. First, you cannot use other cards, and second, once you die, items in your storage backpack will be randomly dropped.

[This melon is not ripe] It has never been killed before. Even when it was swallowed by the red-haired jackal last time, it was lucky enough to survive until the end of the game because of its high HP and was not completely digested.

But this time, he was instantly defeated!

"One hit took away 15000 of my health points! Is this even humanly possible? What kind of thing has such high attack power... I lost so much stuff, the losses are devastating!"

He remembered the letter he had received earlier and asked疑惑地问道, "Was it from that red-haired jackal? What's the meaning of this letter?"

After being devoured by the red-haired jackal in the previous round, he only glanced at the jackal and had no idea what cards it had. He felt targeted and was very unhappy.

"I have to expose this Red Wolf. He used to take the forest treasures every day, but today he lost twice in a row. I can't swallow this insult..."

"This melon isn't ripe" was quite diligent, quickly purchasing another "Sunset Forest Entry Permit" and starting another game. He then began spamming the chat interface.

"There's a idiot who can transform into a red-haired jackal and eat people. Everyone be careful! This person is despicable, treacherous, and filthy. If you see a red-haired jackal, kill him immediately..."

[This melon is not ripe] Anyway, he was going to use the transformation treasure chest to camp and scam people, so he had plenty of time. He kept sending the same message in the chat interface. In his opinion, although the "Red Wolf" was not in this dungeon, publishing his information and letting more players know that there was such a player who could transform into a red-haired jackal would more or less make the Red Wolf's game experience worse.

After a short while, another player joined in, nicknamed "[Cupid's Second Uncle]", and his message was very similar to "[This Melon Isn't Ripe]'s: "There's another idiot who can transform into a treasure chest and eat people. Everyone be careful, this person is despicable, insidious, and filthy..."

Zhou Nan was exploring the Sunset Forest instance. After clearing out another wolf stronghold and killing the Wolf King BOSS, he rode atop the Butterfly Winged Green Dragon and began searching for the hunter.

"I need to mark this wolf stronghold. Although I only got some materials this time, the Wolf King is here, so maybe I can get a Wolf King card. It seems there's more than one Wolf King in Sunset Forest..."

Zhou Nan was thinking silently, and at this moment, he was about to learn the trick of "this melon is not ripe" to recruit a "hunter" as a subordinate.

The hunter's location coordinates were displayed in the minimap window, and Zhou Nan quickly found them. He retrieved the mysterious egg, jumped to the ground, pounced forward with both hands, and with a howl, transformed into a big gray wolf.

Next, Zhou Nan ran over to the hunter and wandered around. The hunter didn't attack him, which made Zhou Nan feel smug. He tried to use his Devour skill on the hunter, but he couldn't swallow it. This guy was obviously not a small unit. In fact, even if he could swallow it, Zhou Nan would panic.

Devouring monsters and NPCs is different from devouring players. The wolfskin coat's attribute information clearly states that powerful characters can directly break open its belly and escape.

"It's about time. Let's go, little brother, to the center of the map and help me ascend the throne!"

As Zhou Nan silently spoke to himself, it let out a series of howls and then deliberately rammed into the hunter. This naturally did not cause any harm to the hunter, but it did attract the hunter's attention, causing the hunter to move closer to Zhou Nan.

From then on, whenever the hunter tried to go somewhere else, Zhou Nan would bump into it, and slowly, he managed to lead it quite smoothly to the platform in the center of Sunset Forest.

At this moment, the power of the setting sun had descended, and the dark walls began to converge towards the center. Players arrived at the central platform one after another, and upon seeing the hunters there, they all cursed loudly.

The fierce battle quickly unfolded. The hunter was a reaper in every sense of the word. It had at least five skills, all of which were area-of-effect damage. It unleashed them one after another, dealing extremely high damage. The hunter's movement speed was also far superior to that of the players. Targets it targeted had virtually no hope of survival.

Hidden within the Green Dragon stronghold, Zhou Nan, witnessing the Hunter's ferocity, couldn't help but wonder if there were any Hunter cards, and if so, what color they would be. What would happen if he killed this Hunter? Could he possibly take it down using the terrain or something similar?

He also wondered what would happen if he placed the mysterious egg next to the Sunset Dragon. Would the Sunset Dragon come to incubate the egg? Perhaps this was the hidden condition for the Dragon Egg card to turn into the Green Dragon card...

In short, while other players were locked in fierce battles with the hunters, Zhou Nan was content to wait at the Green Dragon point to ascend to the throne.

In fact, Zhou Nan also sighed. If a player were willing to sacrifice himself at this moment, drawing the hunter's aggro and pulling him away, the other players would have a chance to stay safely on the central platform. However, such self-sacrifice for the sake of others is something that few people would do unless they were close friends or family. At least, looking at the group of players in front of Zhou Nan, they all seemed determined not to get the treasure if they couldn't get it themselves, and they were even resorting to sneak attacks on each other.
