Chapter 102

Why was I so clever back then?

However, Lu Li didn’t pinch for too long; he stopped after satisfying his craving.

“Bastard!” Rubbing her slightly reddened cheeks, Shangguan Wan’er ground her teeth. If the location and environment weren’t so inappropriate, she would have really liked to take a hard bite out of Lu Li.

Unfortunately, seeing Lu Li’s hand raised intentionally or otherwise, Shangguan Wan’er wisely retracted her little fangs.

As long as there are green hills, there’s no need to worry about firewood! I don’t believe I’ll be bullied by you forever!

These two best friends really don’t learn their lesson! Seeing this, Lu Li laughed uncharitably, but then he threw a Stripping Technique at the corpses of the Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts.

As mutated beasts, perhaps he could obtain some special materials from them.

During their interaction, the Dark Magician Girl, Angewomon, and the River Styx Flower had already finished off all the emerging Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts.

As for the Eternal Crystal Orchid, she acted as a defensive screen, blocking attacks from any stragglers while incidentally eating a mouthful of dog food.

【Stripping successful, obtained Chaos Aura *1!】

【Chaos Aura: A special material produced only by Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts that have lived in the Dark Purgatory for a long Finish Finish Time, having absorbed dragon-kin aura, fierce beast aura, and the power of dimensional turbulence. Excessive absorption will lead to signs of chaos.】

“Chaos Aura?” Looking at the wisp of strange Chaos Aura in his hand, Lu Li couldn’t help but stroke his chin: “Seems interesting. Perhaps it can be used to craft Chaos Ritual Magic Cards.”

Although he could obtain suitable materials through his ability to rewrite and reorganize, since there were ready-made ones here, it saved him a lot of trouble.

“Hey, this material seems very special.” Shangguan Wan’er was also attracted by the Chaos Aura and leaned over to Lu Li’s side to look, a hint of curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes.

“It is quite special.” Releasing a few more Stripping Techniques, the amount of Chaos Aura in Lu Li’s hand increased significantly: “However, it seems we can only get Chaos Aura from these Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts; the materials are a bit monotonous.”

Putting the Chaos Aura back into the Magic Card Editor, Lu Li teased: “What, not angry anymore?”

“Hmph! I’m a very magnanimous person; I’ll forgive you this Finish Finish Time.” Shangguan Wan’er ground her teeth, ultimately deciding to choose the path of least resistance, though she silently thought to herself that one day, she would ride on top of him and get her revenge.

“Is that so?” Seeing this, Lu Li once again pinched her chubby cheeks under Shangguan Wan’er’s hopeless gaze, only retracting his hand after a moment, feeling satisfied.

“Alright, it’s Finish Finish Time for us to move.” Ignoring Shangguan Wan’er’s eye-roll, Lu Li gave her a head-pat, then hugged her and had the Thunder Dragon Beast move out, with the other Magic Card spirits following closely behind.

“Don’t treat me like a child!” A slightly coquettish response from Shangguan Wan’er came from the distance where the Thunder Dragon Beast had disappeared.

“What kind of place is this?” Meng Meng Meng Chuyun looked at the seemingly endless Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts and uttered a sentiment similar to Shangguan Wan’er’s.

But here, apart from herself and her Magic Card spirits, there was no other person’s aura, which made a hint of anxiety and worry flash across Meng Meng Meng Chuyun’s face.

She had originally been clearing out fierce beasts at a stronghold, but unexpectedly, she was teleported to this Dark Purgatory, which radiated a heavy grudge. Before she could even figure out the situation, numerous Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts emerged and attacked her.

Fortunately, these emerging beasts weren’t very strong, and she possessed the seven-star Magic Card spirit, the Sky-Extreme Star Whale; otherwise, she might have been torn apart by the swarming beasts from the very beginning.

However, if this continued, she wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.

The seven-star Sky-Extreme Star Whale indeed had abundant combat power and the advantage of flight, but the problem wasn’t with the whale, but with Meng Meng Meng Chuyun herself.

Maintaining the presence and combat of a seven-star Magic Card spirit for a long Finish Finish Time consumed a terrifying amount of magic power. For Meng Meng Meng Chuyun, who was only at the Commander Realm, this was clearly asking too much.

Besides, the Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts that were constantly being eliminated and reappearing were also increasing in strength and preventing her from leaving. Facing these seemingly endless beasts, even the Sky-Extreme Star Whale was struggling alone.

As for summoning other Magic Card spirits, not to mention whether it would improve killing efficiency, the rate of magic consumption would definitely increase.

The battle continued, and gradually, some Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts broke through the Sky-Extreme Star Whale’s defense, landing heavy attacks on the seven-star spirit.

Meng Meng Meng Chuyun could feel the Sky-Extreme Star Whale’s momentum slowly declining, due to the cumulative injuries.

“Sky-Extreme Star Whale, Whale Fall Destroys All Things!” After calculating silently, Meng Meng Meng Chuyun ordered the whale to unleash its ultimate move. If this continued, both she and the whale would be dragged down. Since that was the case, she would wipe out these beasts in one go and leave immediately before new ones emerged.

This way, she could at least temporarily escape the current predicament.

Amidst the whale’s cry, a spectacular water tornado connected heaven and earth, and all the Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts present were surrounded by it. In the center covered by the tornado, a sea of stars poured down from the void, like the Milky Way falling from the nine heavens, instantly submerging and killing all the trapped beasts.

The pouring Milky Way lasted for nearly a minute. When the sea of stars receded, there were no living Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts left in front of Meng Meng Meng Chuyun; they had all been cleared out.

However, after this strike, the Sky-Extreme Star Whale’s momentum dropped significantly again.

“Finally resolved~.” Exhaling, Meng Meng Meng Chuyun pointed to the northwest: “Star Whale, move in that direction.”

She didn’t even have Finish Finish Time to collect the materials from the beasts; after all, saving her life was the most important thing.

As for why she was moving northwest, it was because she had sensed something unusual in that direction before the battle, but the subsequent fighting had left her no Finish Finish Time to think.

Hum!

The huge whale tail flicked in the void. The Sky-Extreme Star Whale didn’t immediately execute Meng Meng Meng Chuyun’s order but looked vigilantly not far away.

Something’s wrong!

Sensing the Sky-Extreme Star Whale’s behavior, Meng Meng Meng Chuyun’s slightly relaxed spirit instantly tightened, and she became secretly anxious.

Judging from the previous situation, the Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts in the Dark Purgatory were seemingly infinite and absurdly numerous. She only had the Sky-Extreme Star Whale to protect herself.

But after the recent wheel battle, both she and the whale needed Finish Finish Time to recover and weren’t suitable for continued fighting.

While she was thinking, a blue lightning bolt appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly striking toward the position of the Sky-Extreme Star Whale.

Although this was a new Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change she had encountered in the Dark Purgatory besides the beasts, the girl didn’t relax her vigilance; a new Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change didn’t necessarily mean a good one.

However, after seeing the figure on the blue lightning bolt clearly, Meng Meng Meng Ningdie breathed a sigh of relief and patted the Sky-Extreme Star Whale: “Star Whale, let’s go down.”

Hum!

The huge whale tail flicked in the void again, and in an instant, it landed on the ground.

“It’s you guys, I thought it was the enemy again.” Jumping off the Sky-Extreme Star Whale, Meng Meng Meng Ningdie looked at Lu Li and Shangguan Wan’er who had arrived, her tone carrying a hint of relief: “How did you find this place?”

Meeting acquaintances in a strange environment was somewhat reassuring, especially after she had just experienced a fierce battle.

However, seeing the slightly intimate behavior of the two, Meng Meng Meng Chuyun couldn’t help but have a strange expression on her face; she felt that the style of these two was completely out of place in the Dark Purgatory.

But both Angewomon and the River Styx Flower following behind them made Meng Meng Meng Chuyun’s eyes sharpen; the strength of these Magic Card spirits was not inferior to her Sky-Extreme Star Whale.

Especially Angewomon. Seeing this angel-type Magic Card spirit that had solved the Sky-Extreme Star Whale in one blow again, Meng Meng Meng Chuyun’s heart was quite complicated.

But at this Finish Finish Time, having an extra powerful partner, especially one stronger than herself, was undoubtedly more reassuring.

“We were just nearby and happened to see your Sky-Extreme Star Whale, so we came over.” Shangguan Wan’er explained, her eyes sweeping over the whale. The injuries on this spirit showed that Meng Meng Meng Ningdie must have just experienced a fierce battle.

“However, if Lu Li and I hadn’t been teleported together, I probably wouldn’t be doing much better than Meng Meng Meng Ningdie.” Shangguan Wan’er thought silently to herself.

“It seems that large Magic Card spirits are quite good at times like this.” Hearing Shangguan Wan’er’s statement, Meng Meng Meng Ningdie couldn’t help but joke.

“That’s also how they easily attract enemies.” Lu Li shook his head. Although they had indeed found Meng Meng Meng Chuyun because they saw the Sky-Extreme Star Whale, relatively speaking, the number of Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beast attacks she encountered was likely much higher than what they had faced.

Meng Meng Meng Chuyun was almost fainted by Lu Li’s remark. Although she knew it was a fact, damn it, you didn’t have to be so honest, she said unhappily: “I only have this one seven-star Magic Card, I’m really sorry about that.”

Not to mention Meng Meng Meng Chuyun, even Shangguan Wan’er was speechless after hearing this and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Lu Li, even though it was a fact.

Seeing this, Lu Li shrugged: “What are your plans next?”

Finding Meng Meng Meng Chuyun was purely accidental, but she wasn’t a member of the Dragon Valley, so the group still had no way to leave the Dark Purgatory.

“I sensed something unusual in that direction before. If it weren’t for your arrival, I might have already been on my way.” Learning of their speculation from Shangguan Wan’er, Meng Meng Meng Chuyun pointed to the northwest again.

199. Storm Mermaid! The Main Wife Catches the Mistress

"Northwest direction?" Upon hearing Meng Meng Meng Chuyun's words, Lu Li and Shangguan Wan'er exchanged a glance, both seeing the meaning in the other's eyes: "Since that's the case, let's set off in that direction."

At the moment, they had no better options; perhaps that direction really did offer a chance to find some clues.

"However, do you want to Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change your mount?" Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Li looked at Meng Meng Meng Chuyun again: "Your Heaven-Extreme Star Whale isn't in the best condition, and it's not really suitable for traveling, is it?"

As for asking Meng Meng Meng Chuyun to sit on the back of the Thunder Dragon Beast, Lu Li guessed she wouldn't be very willing, even if the Thunder Dragon Beast's back was large enough to seat one more person. His relationship with Meng Meng Meng Chuyun was only average; they weren't as familiar as he was with Shangguan Wan'er.

"Of course I know that." Meng Meng Meng Chuyun rolled her eyes at Lu Li in annoyance; this jerk really knew how to hit a sore spot! Thinking this, Meng Meng Meng Chuyun's eyes swept over Lu Li, Shangguan Wan'er, and the Thunder Dragon Beast, and a thought surfaced in her mind.

With a wave of her hand, the Heaven-Extreme Star Whale let out a low moan and transformed into a Magic Card, merging into her body. Immediately after, Meng Meng Meng Chuyun summoned another Magic Card spirit that had reached the six-star perfect level: the Storm Mermaid.

[Storm Mermaid]

Race: Sea Clan - Mermaid Tribe

Quality: Perfect

Level: Six-Star

Skills: Gale Hurricane, Thunder Strike, Thunderstorm, Wind-Thunder Domain

With snow-white skin, jade-like arms, golden hair, and a long tail, she was not much different from the mermaids in Lu Li's memories. However, the Storm Mermaid before them was not a helpless figure from a fairy tale, but a Magic Card spirit capable of summoning gales, rainstorms, and thunderous lightning.

"A Storm Mermaid? If I remember correctly, if you reconstruct a Storm Mermaid, there's a chance to reconstruct an eight-star level Storm Mermaid Empress!" Information about the Magic Card spirit flashed through Lu Li's mind, and he couldn't help but glance at Meng Meng Meng Chuyun again: "You've got quite the ideas!"

Magic Card Masters can improve the combat power of Magic Card spirits by reconstructing Magic Cards, but this is not an easy task.

Among them, there are some special Magic Cards that cannot be created through conventional construction; they can only be created if one has the chance through the reconstruction method.

Meng Meng Meng Chuyun's Storm Mermaid was one of these special Magic Cards.

Conventional card construction can build a Storm Mermaid, but only through the reconstruction method is there a probability of building a Storm Mermaid Empress based on the Storm Mermaid. The level of the Storm Mermaid Empress also surpasses the Storm Mermaid, reaching the eight-star level.

It is a pity that this is only a probability; wanting to reconstruct a Storm Mermaid Empress is not an easy task. To put it simply, this type of Magic Card is exclusive to the "lucky winners" and the "super-rich."

It was hard to say how Meng Meng Meng Chuyun's luck was, but she possessed "money-power" equivalent to Shangguan Wan'er's, so she indeed had a chance to reconstruct a Storm Mermaid Empress.

"That goes without saying." Seeing the look of surprise on Lu Li's face, a hint of smugness flashed across Meng Meng Meng Chuyun's face. Immediately after, under the strange gazes of Lu Li and Shangguan Wan'er, the young girl flipped over and sat directly onto the Thunder Dragon Beast.

Given the Thunder Dragon Beast's size, it wouldn't feel cramped even with one more person like Meng Meng Meng Chuyun, but her actions were truly beyond the expectations of the two.
