After choosing [Power of Determination], Shi Li officially started his first journey.
Buzz!
As the feeling of weightlessness came and went, he felt a strong wind before he even opened his eyes.
The strong wind made his clothes flutter, and he even felt a little unstable.
I opened my eyes subconsciously and saw something.
If it were a slime, it would probably be scared into a puddle of mud. Oh, no, it is already mud.
If it were replaced with button mushrooms, it would probably turn into a pool of mushroom sauce.
At this moment, I was standing on a natural rock corridor less than half a meter wide.
On the right is a hard and smooth cliff, and on the left is a high cliff that is enough to make a person with acrophobia burst his liver and gallbladder at a glance.
"wrong……"
But when he looked carefully, he found that there was a thin, about 2-meter-wide, almost completely transparent energy membrane floor extending to the left.
I touched it with my toes and it was hard.
It must be some kind of magic or something.
"If it follows the rules of the dungeon, this should just be something scary."
After thinking about it, he stepped forward directly.
Walking outside, I ran into an air wall at the edge of the magic floor.
"Okay, let's see what kind of copy we will encounter this time."
He began to walk forward along the cliff walkway.
Soon after turning a big bend, I saw something different.
It was a building... built on a cliff.
The house on the cliff is clinging to the steep rock wall and is made of solid stone and wood to cope with the steep height of the cliff and the harsh natural environment.
If you look closer, you will find that the design of these buildings is very ingenious. They cleverly utilize the shape of the rock wall and adopt a suspended or embedded structure, making the entire building and the rock wall interdependent and mutually supportive.
Windows and balconies are cleverly carved into the rock, providing excellent viewing angles overlooking the cliffs and the scenery beyond.
"It feels like they are much more civilized than the rock-eating beasts we saw last time. At least they can build houses."
Standing on the wall, I even saw some original murals similar to the style of the house.
He couldn't understand what was in the painting. It seemed like a few little people were chasing or worshiping a white cloud.
The murals add a bit of life to this seemingly dangerous cliff building, while also showcasing some tribal culture or history.
"No need to guess, there must be something strange inside."
Shi Li glanced at the open door and walked straight in.
However, he was wrong, there was no monster inside.
It's even empty , giving people the feeling of being in a poor home.
The only thing that attracted the eye was the large wooden barrel placed in the corner, which was emitting a faint blue light.
He was already quite familiar with the use of this prop.
So he just kicked it and smashed it to pieces.
Bang!
As the barrel broke into pieces, a green light emerged from it and penetrated into his body.
[Obtain 32 Wind Chasing Points]
"not bad."
Shi Li pursed his lips.
Based on the experience of the last [Way of Balance], this kind of point collection cannot be missed.
Because the points are at the back, but they are very useful.
Either use it to strengthen the inscriptions, or save it to be converted into initial wealth for the next level.
After taking another close look to make sure he hadn't missed anything, he walked straight through the house and out through another door.
Walking along the cliff, after a while I saw something that looked like a level monster.
It was a creature hovering in the sky, and it was too far away to be seen clearly.
Shi Li squinted his eyes and could only see that it looked like, probably, a bird.
But as the thing flew closer and closer, he found that he was wrong.
That's not a bird, it's a birdman .
In terms of appearance, this guy is very similar to humans.
The difference is that there are no arms, or rather, the arms are a pair of bird wings covered with brown feathers.
The feet also look like bird claws.
The birdman may wear light clothes to make it easier to flap his wings.
Judging from the curves that can hardly be covered by animal skins, it should be a concave life form.
The birdman was flying very fast. When the distance was less than 50 meters, Shi Li saw a wide range of red circles emanating from the opponent's body.
“Here I come.”
This will be the first time that he encounters an enemy in [The Way of Chasing the Wind], so he needs to be cautious.
【Invader! 】
Buzz!
When the red circle touches the body, blue light descends and the game of cards unfolds.
The opponent immediately presented a 3-row x 7-column card grid.
"so much?"
If Shi Li remembered correctly, the last time he encountered the first level effect in [Way of Balance], it was only 3x3.
No, it’s because I’ve never encountered so many enemies in [The Way of Balance] before.
3x7=21, that's 21 enemy cards.
I didn't expect that after coming here, the number would more than double.
"It's a pity that I'm not LV11 yet."
However, he was not worried about losing the fight, instead he sighed.
The rewards are divided into 5 levels.
Now I am in the early stage of exploration. If I am at LV11, I can get 3 rewards after passing the level, corresponding to LV5, LV10, and LV15 respectively. The higher the level, the better the reward may be.
Now, there are only two times at LV5 and LV10.
If you want to get LV11~LV15, you can only wait until the next upgrade and play it again.
After some thought, he arranged his deck.
【Ugly Man】【Wu Monkey】【Demon Monk】
【Jade Deer】【Dancing Girl】【Mantis】
【Fox Head】【Sheep Rabbit】【Three Flags】
【No position】【Iron stick】【No position】
Then the scene card configuration is [ Random Soldier Post].
This deck is slightly different from the regular monster deck used in the previous [Balance].
The newly made [Wu Monkey] was put on the stage, and then the [Fox-headed Guard] replaced the [Brotherly Funeral Beast].
The main reason for changing to [Fox-Head Guardian] is that this deck can release [Entangle].
Because the Wind Chaser card has a high chance of [Move], the thing that can restrain [Move] is [Entangle].
After all, he had had enough of the game of hide-and-seek at the card table.
【Expel!】x9
Nine beams of light fell on the table, and the birdmen turned into cards.
"I'm the one."
When he saw their cards, Shi Li's face suddenly changed.
These birdmen are divided into three types of cards: brown, green and blue.
Then the arrangement position is also quite particular.
There are 21 empty spaces and 9 cards scattered around.
Among them, the brown bird is the plumpest and looks like a mature one... let's call it a mature bird.
【Wind Runner】
Chasing the Wind, Attack 30, 200/200, 0/1
[Wind Runner - 1 point]: Wind Runner stirs up a strong wind, causing 1 target to be [Exiled] for 1 round
([Exile]: Remove the regular card target from the game)
This card is a perfect counter to [Power of Steadfastness].
Because the effect of the 6 inscriptions of [Power of Steadfastness] is: when you collect 6 inscriptions of Steadfastness in this row, the first row of cards will gain 50 points of [Shield] effect at the beginning.
The effect of 10 inscriptions is: [Firm Protection]: When a card accumulates [Defense] for 3 times, the card gains [Barrier]
([Barrier]: Offsets the maximum damage of 1 damage in this round)
Basically, it can be said that these two effects are applied to the first row of cards.
Unless otherwise specified, the release distance of control skills is the same as the attack distance.
This means that the opponent's [Exile] can only be placed on the first row of cards.
However, the opponent only needs one round of warm-up to infinitely [Exile] the first row of cards, which means that his first row of cards is completely unable to help his own cards resist damage.
It is even equivalent to having 3 fewer cards throughout the whole process.
Shi Li had a hunch that he might have made a wrong choice by choosing [Power of Protection] this time.
"Control cards are really good. I might consider getting one later."
But he was quite coveting this [Wind Chaser].
There can't be too many control cards in a deck, but there can't be too few either.
[Exile] is a good control that can be used in a variety of tactics.
Then there is the blue birdman, who is the smallest and looks very light.
【Wind Sickness】
Chasing the Wind, Attack 30, 200/200, 0/2
[Wind Speed ​​- 2 points]: The Wind Speed ​​player moves 1 card slot.
(Patch: [Move]'s 1-grid card slot is the four adjacent cards up, down, left, and right. It is not possible to move the diagonal card slot directly.)
"I knew it."
Seeing this card at least proves that [Fox-Head Guardian] did not make a mistake.
"I still don't have a [Move] card, it would be nice to get one."
When playing hide-and-seek at the card table, the one who is catching the other person may feel uncomfortable.
But the party being captured has the initiative, so the experience will be better.
Finally, the green birdman looks like a convex life form with a relatively strong body.
[Wind Blade]
Chasing the Wind, Attack 30, 200/200, 0/2
[Wind Blade - 2 points]: The Wind Blade user releases wind blades, dealing (30+10) points of damage.
"Rubbish."
Shi Li had only one comment on this card.
It's not because it's not a pleasing concave card, but the card face really doesn't do much.
In the first round of the game, Shi Li took certain countermeasures.
First, [Ugly Man] [Taunted] a [Wind Runner].
This at least ensures that in the next round, this [Wind Runner] will not exile its own front row.
Because the opponent's deck has a lot of health, and also has the escape and life-saving skill [Move].
Therefore, the number of rounds in this game is longer than the regular 9+1 game.
But fortunately, this is only the first small level of the first major level, and the data of the monster cards are not abnormal, so Shi Li has a clear advantage in output.
[Damn...invaders...! ]
After a period of strategy, the last [Wind Speeder] finally fell.
【Please select the inscription you need】
The card table had just been put away when three panels popped up in front of him.
Choose 1 from 3 inscriptions, here it comes.
“I feel like the exile cards will appear more frequently later on, so there’s no point in picking [Steady] any more.”
"So let me take a look."
He held his chin in his hand and thought.
[Listen to the Wind - Stand Like a Pine★]: When the card is stationary, the damage received is -5
[Break the Trend - Attack★]: At the beginning of the game, choose 1 Break the Trend card from your side, and you can take 1 extra action.
[Chasing the Wind - Spring Breeze★]: During the turn when the card is moved, gain 10 points of [Healing]
There are 3 1-star inscriptions, all of which I have seen before, so no surprises.
After thinking about it, he chose [Attack★].
1 and 3 are useless to me, but 2 is okay, it can increase the output and output rhythm.
Moreover, by cooperating with [Luan Bing Gang], [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] can be fully charged at the end of the first round.
After selecting the inscriptions, I gained another 20+ Wind Chasing Points.
However, Shi Li believed that he would not be able to pass the level this time, so he did not care too much about the points.
Next, Shi Li slightly changed the layout of his deck.
The first row of cards contains the combination of [Ugly Man] + [Sword Dancer].
[Ugly Man] can [Taunt] and control [Wind Runner] to prevent him from using [Exile].
Then the passive skill of [Sword Dancer] finally came in handy.
[Spiritual Film - Passive]: Sword Dancer is immune to [Exile]
This skill has never had a chance to be used, making [Sword Dancer] almost equivalent to a C-level card.
Finally in this PVE copy, she is complete.
Gained a genuine B-level brand experience.
Sure enough, [Wind Chaser] appeared again among the monsters at the back.
Fortunately, he was prepared, so he did not pose any threat to Shi Li.
After clearing out three waves of monsters in a row, he finally cleared the level for the first time.
[Ding Dong! ]
[Please select the following rewards after passing level 0]
[1. Select 1 card from this level, strength D]
[2. Select 1 card from the unknown deck, with a strength of E to C]
The familiar words popped up again.
"I'll have option 1 first."
Shi Li already had the answer.
There are a total of 5 types of cards that appear in this level, but Shi Li only wants two of them.
【Wind Runner】
Chasing the Wind, 20 points, D
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/2
[Wind Runner - 2 points]: Wind Runner stirs up a strong wind, causing 1 target to be [Exiled] for 1 round
([Exile]: Remove the regular card target from the game)
"I can't possibly not want the [Exile] card."
Without hesitation, he made his choice.
After getting the cards, a new reminder sounded.
[Ding Dong! ]
[Please select the following rewards after passing level 0]
[1. Select 1 card from this level, strength D]
[2. Select 1 card from the unknown deck, with a strength of E to C]
"I'd rather choose 1."
He took the other one he wanted.
【Wind Sickness】
Chasing the Wind, 20 points, D
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/2
[Wind Speed ​​- 2 points]: The Wind Speed ​​player moves 1 card slot.
Shi Li is very happy to choose cards like [Wind Chaser] and [Wind Speed ​​​​Rider].
Because they are very "pure" D-grade cards.
There is only one skill, and it is a useful skill without any negative effects.
This type of card is often easy to add to other cards to add skills to them.
After selecting the card, two portals, one orange and one blue, will appear in front of you.
But Shi Li did not choose a door immediately, but just lay down.
Lying down meant he was about to start previewing.
When you get a new card, you naturally hope to use it as soon as possible.
After enduring the dizziness for more than ten minutes, he got a preview of the two new cards.
The first thing to talk about is [Wind Speeder].
The compatibility of this card is a bit poor. It can only be fused with the Wind Chaser card, otherwise it will be swallowed.
Currently, there are quite a few Wind Chaser cards in his deck, but not many of them can be used.
There are only two in total, one is [Sword Dancer] and the other is [Wilson's Fire Boy].
[Sword Dancer] is one of my more commonly used main cards, while [Wilson's Fire Boy] can only be considered a special card for special circumstances.
In fact, these two cards are not very compatible with [Move].
[Wilson's Boy] is originally a card that will lead to his own death, so there is little point in letting him move.
The definition of [Sword Dancer] is an auxiliary card, and its degree of compatibility with displacement is slightly higher than that of [Wilson's Fire Boy].
But it is still far from meeting Shi Li’s psychological expectations.
"That's weird, is it possible that only the Wind Chaser card can [move]?"
He remembered that he had seen many other types of moving cards in the second level of authority in the card hall.
But it doesn’t matter. I believe that after this dungeon, he will add some wind-chasing cards that are qualified to be used.
Let’s take a look at the preview results of [Wind Runner], her compatibility is very good.
The one that Shi Li is most satisfied with is:
[Fox Head Guardian] + [Wind Chaser] = [Wind Fox]
[Wind Runner] + [Fox Head Guardian] = [Wind Runner Guardian]
[Windrunker Guardian] is a useless C-level card and can be ignored.
But [Wind Fox] is a pleasant surprise.
The fox-headed woman in the projection on the card was still holding the book in her hands, and an invisible breeze was blowing around her, making her clothes and hair flutter.
It adds a bit of wildness to the original intellectual and elegant temperament.
【Wind Fox】
Listen to the Wind, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 100/100, 3/4
[Reading Accumulation - Passive]: When the Wind Fox reveals the card, gain 3 energy points
[Exile Wind - 2 Energy]: Wind Fox selects 1 target and makes it [Exile] for 1 round.
[Vine Seed Burst - 3 Energy]: Wind Fox selects 3 unveiled targets, deals 20 damage to each, and makes them [Entangled] for 1 round.
([Exile]: Remove the regular card target from the game)
([Entangle]: The target cannot [move])
The card went from C rank to B rank.
It has become a big control card.
"Dual skills, dual control, superb."
Looking at this card, Shi Li was drooling.
Having just finished playing cards with Wang Defa, he deeply experienced the power of the control function [Exile].
Whether it is controlling people and attacking the back row, or protecting your own cards, it is extremely useful.
The advantage of [Wind Fox] is that she has the advantage of being fully charged at the beginning.
If you stay still once in the next round, you will have enough energy to cast [Exile] again.
[Exile] twice in three consecutive rounds is enough to do a lot of things at the poker table.
"Okay, it's you."
After making the decision, he clapped his hands.
Buzz!
The light overflows and the card is completed.
After completing this series of operations, Shi Li lay down again and closed his eyes.
After all, batch preview is a bit tiring.
Although player upgrades will bring improvements in physical and mental strength, the upgrade is now too slow, and the speed at which his mental strength improves can hardly keep up with the speed at which the deck expands.
After resting for a while, he got up.
Faced with two portals, one orange and one blue, he chose the blue one [Event].
If you choose [Power of Determination], there is a high probability that you will fail in this trip. It is better to enter [Event] and give it a try to see if there is any turning point.
However, he could not have imagined that what was waiting for him this time was not an ordinary [event].
