Chapter 135: 135 Mount Flower VS Holy Beast 2_1
"Holy shit, those dandelion seeds are incredibly fast!"
The commentators were dumbstruck. They had never seen dandelion seeds move that quickly in the arena before. Everyone knows it’s a late-game blinding card, with only two points early on—scant and slow.
The few small dandelions that had just flown out even helped block the Ice Snake King’s ice fog. These dandelions consumed the ice fog, instantly turning into icy fragments that fell to the ground, then melted away without a trace.
This affected the Ice Leopard King’s momentum. As long as the first strike didn’t cause significant damage, it was a huge stacked advantage for Mount Flower!
Gong Yuan was screaming his lungs out, "Jiang Shen is the shit!!!!"
Chen Runyu also shouted excitedly, "Jiang Shen is the shit, damn!"
Using a Control Card as a defensive card, who could have thought of that?
The Ice Wolf King escaped the predetermined range, and the King Bee Insect’s venomous stinger automatically flew back. However, affected by the stinger, the returning Ice Wolf King was immediately healed a bit by the Ice Deer King, slowing down the poison’s effect. Still, with the poison from both Poison Cage Flower and Ghost Wood, the Ice Wolf King couldn’t shake off its poisoned status right away. The Ice Leopard King, however, fared better; the venom drawn by Ghost Wood was immediately cleansed by the Ice Deer King.
People from the Holy Beast Association looked over, their expressions uncertain. The assassin cursed, "How the hell are those dandelion seeds so freaky? How did they predict they’d hit me right in the face?"
Normally, they should have interfered with the Ice Snake King; that’s the core card!
Following the charge, the Ice Bear King’s controller said with a grave expression, "It’s not the cards that are freaky, it’s that substitute Wen Jiang that’s freaky. Her control of the cards is too fast, and I have a bad feeling about this."
The damage dealer added, "Cards generally can’t exceed the designated speed limit unless..."
The support immediately asserted decisively, "Unless her spiritual power far exceeds that of an ordinary person. She absolutely can control two cards; her spiritual power is stronger than the other four combined. If we don’t stop her, we’re going to be doomed in no time."
The Holy Beast members internally reached a consensus, while the audience was exclaiming how thrilling it was.
[Although I don’t understand, it’s so exciting!]
[Although the cards chosen by Mount Flower don’t look that great, they’re still effective when used.]
[Ghost Wood gives a real sense of security when it’s there, and the support’s reaction is good.]
[Holy crap, that dandelion move is sickkkkkkkkk!]
[Dandelion seeds defy the heavens; never knew they could be used like this!]
[I don’t get it. What’s the deal with the dandelion seeds flying in the Ice Leopard King’s face? How can those few small pieces cause any harm to the Ice Leopard King? The Poison Cage Flower still got damaged. I truly can’t understand what the chat is hyping up. In this situation, we should wait for more dandelion seeds to fly out, right?]
[Are the chat trolls brain-dead bronzes trying to advise champions? Just because dandelions are Control Cards in your eyes, does that mean we should only wait for the late game? Dandelion seeds have a small-range blinding effect; the Ice Leopard King was clearly affected. Didn’t you see the Card Spirit turning its head? It slowed down the Ice Leopard King’s offense, and the damage sustained by the Poison Cage Flower was obviously not as bad as initially expected. It only lost one petal instead of the usual two to three. If all eight had fallen, the Poison Cage Flower would’ve been done for.]
[But why is Mount Flower focusing on the Ice Wolf King? What’s the strategy behind that? Why not deal with the Ice Snake King?]
[The Holy Beasts should shift their target. If Dandelion can’t stack up, it’ll be even tougher.]
[To be honest, I’ve never seen Dandelion seeds fly so fast on the battlefield, actually managing to block the Ice Leopard King’s offensive in time.]
The commentator was flabbergasted as well, but his understanding went deeper than that of the barrage of comments. "These Dandelion seeds are incredibly extraordinary. It seems that Wen Jiang from Mount Flower has a particular affinity for this card. Under such circumstances, predicting the Ice Leopard King’s attack location and managing to interfere in a timely manner is quite challenging. The speed of the Dandelion seeds has also changed; it looks like this Wen Jiang is quite interesting."
"I take back what I said at the beginning. Mount Flower might play more impressively, but I don’t have high hopes for the overall outcome. Ghost Wood has been hit by the Ice Snake King’s Skills. As soon as the 30 seconds are up, the combo Skills will reappear, and Ghost Wood will be instantly frozen. If the Holy Beast Association seizes this chance to deal with Dandelion, Mount Flower will be utterly helpless."
What the commentator said was exactly what the Holy Beast Association was thinking.
Once the combo Skills reappeared, Ghost Wood would be frozen, significantly increasing the threat to the other cards.
Sometimes in card battles, you don’t want to fight head-on. When neither side can find an opportunity, they probe each other, biding their time and avoiding attacks that might give the opponent a chance to counterattack. Being the first to lose a card is the biggest loss.
Ruan Chunen analyzed calmly, "They are probably waiting for the second wave of combo Skills to come up soon. My status is still active, so I will definitely be frozen. Then, they will likely target Wen Jiang."
Gong Yuan was somewhat puzzled. "Target Jiang Shen? Isn’t Runyu’s card the biggest threat right now? The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes for the Ice Leopard King if it can’t clear the poison from Poison Cage Flower."
Ruan Chunen shook his head. "Wen Jiang’s Dandelion seeds are already a disadvantage for them in the later stages. It was right to target Runyu in a fast-paced battle, but now Wen Jiang poses a greater threat. They will change their target."
Approaching was not an option either. The Ice Bear King’s Skills directly faced the first card, and whoever got close would perish.
The Ice Leopard King, unharmed, was sneakily preparing to launch a second attack. It moved too fast. Only the King Bee Insect could somewhat withstand it, but the King Bee Insect couldn’t inflict a fatal wound on it. However, it could plant poison stingers.
Perhaps considering this, the Ice Leopard King swiftly initiated a second attack. This time the Ice Bear King kept pace, using its Skill to stiffen Ghost Wood. But the freed River Maiden wasn’t completely controlled this time and released her Skill early. A huge floral scent enveloped Poison Cage Flower, and any who approached would be bewildered by the fragrance, forcing the Ice Leopard King to withdraw.
As it retreated, it also evaded the poison stinger that Shi Qi launched opportunistically.
Shi Qi, having missed, still looked on with some reluctance.
As Gong Yuan was about to release the diffusing fragrance, the Ice Snake King moved forward, prompting Gong Yuan to immediately instruct his Card Spirit to retreat.
He gritted his teeth. "The Ice Snake King’s abilities are so troublesome."
Once caught by the ice mist, if he were to get close to the ice when the combo ability appeared later, it was very likely he would be frozen along with it. With two cards wasted, they could only await their demise.
Moreover, the appearance of the combo abilities also followed a certain pattern. They would target the location of the card most affected by the icy status.
Now that Ghost Wood had accumulated enough damage, it was certain to be frozen, probably right where it stood. But if they stayed too far away, without Ghost Wood’s healing ability, Poison Cage Flower would be affected again.
Mount Flower was equally faced with a dilemma.
