Chapter 18: Enemies Meet
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After traveling for a few hours, it was already early in the morning. Lorne returned to the forest area once again.
“Gulp.”
“I’m really hungry, tired, and cold now.”
Lorne activated his scouting ability to see if there were any small Dire Beasts around him. He caught one and ate it.
“Found it.”
Lorne was also quite lucky. There were a few Forest Rabbits within three kilometers. It was just right to catch and eat them.
“Beep beep.”
[Forest Rabbit]
Race: Dire Beast
Species: Rabbit/forest
Rank: White-grade 1-star
Status: Perfect
Innate Skill: Leap
Description: A kind of rabbit that lives in the forest. It is very fierce and feeds on the roots and stems of plants. Its reproduction speed is extremely fast and its breeding value is low.
“Hehe! Even the system said that its breeding value is low. This Forest Rabbit is really useless.”
As far as Lorne knew, this Forest Rabbit was like the Rock Boar sold in the Academy cafeteria. It belonged to the category of edible Dire Beasts. The academy had raised a lot of it in the vast Mystic Realm. Not only was it food for humans, but it was also food for other powerful Dire Beasts, at the same time, it was also food for other powerful Dire Beasts.
Of course, in this Magic Card Master World, no matter how weak a Dire Beast was, as long as one was willing to invest resources, it could continue to evolve.
The same was true for the Forest Rabbit.
However, unless their talent and strength were too weak, ordinary Magic Card Masters would not nurture a Dire Beast of this level.
“I’ll leave Blackie to you. Three hundred meters ahead, catch that rabbit back.”
“Boom!”
Blackie quickly locked onto its target. With a shadow blade, it directly killed the Forest Rabbit that was hiding in the grass and eating grass, splitting it into two.
It had to be said that these Forest Rabbits were quite unlucky. Due to their low strength, most of them came out at night to look for food. But even so, they were still targeted by Lorne and became dinner.
“Tss tss.”
Red flames burned, and the sound of broken branches was heard. The Forest Rabbits that had been skinned were roasted on the fire. The surroundings were very quiet. Other than Lorne, Blackie, who was lying next to them…there were no other creatures other than the Forest Rabbits that were frightened and fled.
“Sniff, sniff…”
“As expected of a Dire Beast. It’s quite fragrant.”
It was a pity that they lacked seasonings. Otherwise, Lorne would have been able to cook this Forest Rabbit better. But that was all. The smell of the Forest Rabbit roasted over the fire was not bad. There was no smell at all…instead, it had a faint smell of grass.
“The selling price of an entire Forest Rabbit is 30,000 star dollars.”
“No wonder students yearn to enter the Academy’s Mystic Realm.”
30,000 star dollars. If Lorne had not temporarily sealed the Ice Claw Shrimps, then 30,000 star dollars was not a small sum for him.
After all these years, his savings were only a few tens of thousands of star dollars.
It was obvious how miserable he was. He could not even afford to eat a Forest Rabbit.
But now, he could eat as much as he wanted.
However, he could only eat in the academy’s vast Mystic Realm. After leaving the vast Mystic Realm, other than the resources for the advancement and transformation, he could not leave without these.
“It’s almost done.”
After roasting it for more than an hour, looking at the oily, golden Forest Rabbit, and listening to the rumbling of its stomach, Lorne picked it up and took a bite.
“Ah!
“It’s a little hot, but it’s acceptable.
“The taste is really amazing.
“The Card Energy has also recovered quite a bit.”
Eating the Dire Beast meat could quickly recover the Card Energy and increase the Card Energy.
Of course, Lorne’s family clearly did not have this condition before, but now, thinking of the Ice Claw Shrimps sealed in his arms, Lorne felt that he could eat the Dire Beast meat every meal in the future.
After eating his fill, Lorne got Blackie to guard him. Lorne found a big tree and fell asleep immediately. He was really too tired.
The next day…!
“Hu ~”
“It’s already past 10 o’clock.”
“Time really flies.”
It was already 10 o’clock in the morning. It was almost noon. Lorne looked around. The remaining Forest Rabbits had long disappeared without a trace. He could not even catch one for lunch.
“Forget it. I should seal the Wind Wolf first.”
That was right. Lorne’s goal was clear in the remaining half of the day. He only had one chance to enter the Academy’s Mystic Realm, and he could only seal three Magic Cards. Other than the Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger… Lorne did not plan to let go of the Wind Wolf leader he had previously discovered.
He wanted to try sealing it.
“Let’s go, Little Black.”
After guarding Lorne for one night, not only did the Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger not feel tired, but it had also fully recovered from its injuries.
With such a powerful Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger, coupled with the fact that his Card Energy could recover, and after eating the Forest Rabbit yesterday to increase his strength by a little, he now had 83 Card Energy.
Dealing with the Wind Wolves should not be a big problem for Lorne.
“Whoosh!”
“Hehe! I didn’t expect these Dire Beasts to be so smart.”
As long as the Dire Beasts in the forest area sensed Little Black’s existence, they would either hide or leave.
This also saved Lorne a lot of trouble.
This was much easier than most of the students. The rest of the students had to be careful of being ambushed by other Dire Beasts, but Lorne did not use it at all. With Little Black around and the detection skill activated, everything in the surroundings could be seen.
An hour later.
“Found it!”
[Wind Wolf]
Race: Wolf
Rank: Green-grade 3-star
Status: Light injury
Innate skill: Wind blade, concealment
“Wind Wolf, we meet again.”
Previously, Lorne could only use detection to check, but now he was facing the leader of the Wind Wolves.
“Awooo!”
The leader of the Wind Wolves opened his eyes and looked at the Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger and Lorne, his old enemy. He immediately gritted his teeth, but he was afraid of Blackie’s intimidation and did not take the initiative to attack. All the hair on his body stood on end.
“Blackie, I’ll leave it to you.”
“Boom!”
The surrounding dark elements quickly gathered and the temperature plummeted. Blackie aimed at the leader of the Wind Wolves and launched a shadow blade attack that directly exploded.
Its enormous power turned the surroundings into a battlefield. The power of the explosion began to gradually spread and spread.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
In the blink of an eye, the explosion that spread quickly dissipated. When the gray layer dispersed, the Wind Wolves were still standing there almost unharmed.
“As expected of a Dire Beast known for its speed. It actually dodged it.”
Looking at the Wind Wolf that was basically undamaged, Lorne was not very surprised.
The Wind Wolf’s attack power was not considered the strongest among the same level, but its speed was one of the best. Even if it was a level lower than Blackie, as long as it was not close to it, its speed was definitely faster than Blackie’s.
If Blackie’s shadow blade really injured the Wind Wolf, then Lorne would consider whether to seal the Wind Wolf as his second Magic Card.
Of course, facing Blackie’s sudden attack, the Wind Wolf would not just stand there and do nothing.
“Weng weng!”
“It’s coming.”
The wind wave under the Wind Wolf leader quickly rushed up, charging toward the man and the tiger.
“Shadow blade!”
“Boom!”
“Looks like we have to retreat a little further.”
The Magic Card Master sealed the Magic Cards of various races, and the Magic Cards themselves would also return power to their owners. For example, the power that Little Black currently gave to Lorne was his perception of the environment, as well as his physical strength.
However, there was nothing else besides that. After all, Little Black was also a Blue-grade Magic Card Creature, and he was also a battle pet.
The power of the feedback was limited.
If Lorne wanted to have powerful strength and fight Dire Beasts and Exotic Beasts head-on, then he would have to seal some extremely rare…martial skills evolved from the laws of Heaven and Earth, or sealing Elemental Magic Cards, parasitic species, Equipment Magic Cards, and using Tool Magic Cards…and so on.
However, those rare races and other life forms were extremely rare existences. Forget about being able to seal them, the prerequisite was that one had to be able to find them!
As a result, most Magic Card Masters, at least in Lorne’s impression, would rely on Dire Beasts and Exotic Beasts that they sealed to fight.
They only needed to protect themselves from the rear.
Just like summoners from other planes, they did not participate in direct combat.
