"Tell those two under your command not to move. The other side is waiting to reap the benefits."
Han Xiaodong quickly saw through Jiang Ran's strategy. Jiang Ran was currently at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers, so he had to ensure that every card he played was used effectively. Naturally, he couldn't afford to waste his fighting strength on the search.
Han Xiaodong immediately ordered all three of his strange creatures to stop moving. He was forcing Jiang Ran to use the cards in his hand. If Jiang Ran didn't use them within 20 minutes, it would be equivalent to giving up this opportunity!
As time goes by, Han Xiaodong's side will encounter more and more strange creatures, and his advantage will naturally become greater and greater, so he doesn't actually need to be in such a hurry to find the [Sacred Fruit].
This is an open scheme.
"Oh dear, little Gwen, we probably can't wait any longer, you have to go on the field!"
"Leave it to me!"
Jiang Ran glanced at his two cards again. If the so-called draw range was really as he thought, then he should be the one with the biggest advantage in this game.
However, due to the imbalance in numbers between the two sides, this advantage was wiped out by the sheer number of people, so Jiang Ran couldn't say for sure which side had the real advantage.
"Gwen, go there!"
"good!"
Jiang Ran dispatched Gwen to a distance of 300 meters from the strange creature summoned by John. It was an ugly mud-like figure, not a strange individual, but rather a native strange creature from some dungeon.
Gwen grabbed the scissors and rushed over!
"Oh no, she's trying to kill my Mudman!"
John could only order his mud men to flee quickly, while he watched helplessly in the sky. Jiang Ran's move was also a shrewd one; he wanted to use Gwen's powerful combat abilities to eliminate the opponent's strange creature!
"They've even brought up the contract doll thing?"
Han Xiaodong was somewhat alarmed. The contract doll now was no longer the strange creature that no one paid much attention to a few months ago. Its strength had genuinely entered the top 100!
"Such strength could never be that of an [Elite], so is she a [Demon King] or a [Near God]?"
No matter which answer it is, it is absolutely impossible for a tiny mud figure to stand up to it!
"Is this the improvement that asymmetrical competition brings you?" Han Xiaodong muttered to himself. "No, that's not right. Why her of all people?"
If it were any other [King of Ghosts] level strange creature, Han Xiaodong could guess that it was due to the rules giving Jiang Ran an advantage, allowing him to have a stronger hand, while the three of them had even more hands.
But it was Gwen! This strange creature, who was most closely connected to Jiang Ran, couldn't help but make Han Xiaodong's imagination run wild.
He suddenly raised the two cards in his hand!
That's right! That's right!
The two zombies were the strange creatures he had encountered in the A-level supernatural world "Zombie Siege", while the white bone assassin came from another supernatural world called "White Bone Forest"!
It matches up! These strange creatures are characters they've encountered before, except that all three of them died in the dungeon back then. Yet Han Xiaodong can still command them to fight for him; it's a truly strange feeling.
Is that really all there is to it? Is simply having seen it enough?
Han Xiaodong is still unsure.
Let's assume this for now.
Han Xiaodong became a ghost story teller in the shortest time among the four (including Jiang Ran's predecessor), because his first challenge was an A-level dungeon, which naturally saved him a lot of time.
This is both a disadvantage, because we have seen fewer strange creatures than the other three, and an advantage, because the quality of the creatures is higher!
John and Burrough, for example, both fought their way up from the D-class world, encountering countless bizarre creatures along the way. Even if some of them were powerful, you have to know that you only have one chance to draw cards every 20 minutes. Can you really draw a truly useful bizarre creature from this vast sea of monsters?
Jiang Ran's predecessor also struggled in the lower-level world for several months before becoming an S-rank ghost storyteller. As for his later promotion to SSS-rank, that was a matter for much later.
"Jiang Ran, even though your first card is a [King of Deception] level, can you guarantee that your next card will also be a [King of Deception]?"
Gwen swiftly scissors her way through, instantly eliminating the mud-covered man!
Instead of having the two surviving strange creatures reunite, Han Xiaodong sent them off in different directions.
If the two sides are evenly matched, Han Xiaodong will definitely gather his forces, which would be more secure. However, Gwen's strength is overwhelming for the two on the field. Even if they team up, it would only result in a double kill, which is meaningless.
Jiang Ran only has one Gwen, and she definitely can't run all over the map. Once she takes care of one side, she can't take care of the other side.
Han Xiaodong was well aware of his side's advantages.
Twenty minutes passed quickly, and Han Xiaodong was even a little surprised. It seemed that time really flew by when someone was seriously thinking about something.
[Elite Level - Skeleton Giant]
In 20 minutes, you can only get one card, but the situation waits for no one. Han Xiaodong quickly realized that he didn't have many choices of cards anymore. In the end, he would just have to use whatever he got, and there would be no choice at all.
How were your cards this round?
"[Elite] level".
The two answered in unison.
"Great, this luck is beyond my expectations!" Han Xiaodong smiled from the bottom of his heart. He originally thought that at least one of them would draw the [Strange] level, but the result was surprisingly good!
In other words, all three of them are able to play [Elite] level cards in this round!
"Send those two strange creatures straight back!" Han Xiaodong shouted. "I'm going to surround and kill that contracted doll in this round!"
He can now command a total of four [Elite]-level troops and one [Strange]-level troops. Even killing a [Strange King]-level troop wouldn't seem like a difficult thing to understand.
“Villennium, have you forgotten something?” Burrough reminded him, “Jiang Ran also has an extra card in his hand, but you have no idea what it is.”
“You’re right, I really don’t know. But Jiang Ran didn’t know what this card was before he got it. In other words, he couldn’t control his hand either. This card could be good or bad!”
"If this card is [Strange], we can win this game effortlessly! If this card is [Elite], we'll only have to pay a heavy price to kill that doll!"
“Vellens, you’re just gambling.”
"Gamble? Haha, why can't I gamble?" Han Xiaodong turned his head and stared at Bo Le with bloodshot eyes. "What, do you think he can pull out another [King of Devils] level card?"
