As a card was used, three elemental fluids—Light, Lightning, and Fire—appeared before Lu Chenxing.
In a forest completely filled with dark attribute elements, the appearance of these three elements was like a drop of water in a hot oil pan, causing the surrounding dark night cat妖s to instantly stir!
As pure dark attribute beasts, they felt an innate aversion and fear towards these three elements.
But they wouldn't be afraid in the next moment, because there was no one around, and Lu Chenxing was too lazy to chant any incantations; with a casual wave of his hand, the three energy fluids, primarily Light Element with Lightning and Fire Elements as secondary, transformed into a ball of light in his hand.
He then raised the ball of light above his head, and with the assistance of his Wind Element perception of the surroundings, over twenty beams of light, coiling with lightning and fire, instantly shot out!
Boom—!
Small explosions occurred almost simultaneously, and the heads of over twenty dark night cat妖s were instantly pulverized! No matter where they hid, not a single one could escape!
The speed of light left them no time to react!
After one strike, the ball of light in Lu Chenxing's hand dissipated; he gathered the surrounding Wood Element, forming vines to pick up the scattered crystals and dark night cat妖 corpses, then used the gathered Wind Element to cut off the dark night cat妖s' claws, collecting them along with the crystals.
The dark night cat妖s' claws had a high dark element content and could be sold for money; they couldn't be wasted. The saying "save when you can, spend when you must" meant precisely this.
After dealing with these items, Lu Chenxing continued deeper, encountering a few more waves of dark night cat妖s along the way, but they were all small fry; the three-tiered dark night cat妖 was still nowhere to be found.
The Wind Element continuously brought information, but it still hadn't located where the three-tiered dark night cat妖 was.
"Where did this guy run off to? Not staying in its own territory, but going somewhere else to fight?" Lu Chenxing walked along, honestly feeling a bit bored.
He had originally wanted to quickly kill that three-tiered one and then rush to the next location, but now he hadn't even seen a single cat hair!
"If it really doesn't work, I'll just go somewhere else first. It's useless to keep wasting time here," Lu Chenxing scratched his head, pondering.
It was at this moment that the Wind Element's alarm suddenly sounded: there was something above his head!
He suddenly looked up to see a dark night cat妖, a circle larger than a two-tiered one, silently descending towards him from the shadows cast by the black trees above his head!
Its claws glowed faintly, clearly indicating that it had already prepared its attack!
The dark night cat妖, already known for its speed, ambush tactics, and stealth, was incredibly fast. Its timing was so precise that Lu Chenxing didn't even have time to activate a card!
Looking at the dark night cat妖 pouncing down, now within arm's reach, and the human-like bloodthirsty glint in its pitch-black eyes, Lu Chenxing understood that its intelligence had begun to awaken!
So, Lu Chenxing curiously leaned in to look, even reaching out to pet it, but this early three-tiered dark night cat妖 remained in its pouncing posture, though the emotion in its eyes had changed from bloodlust to terror!
Dense Spatial Element enveloped its body, freezing its figure in mid-air, unable to move at all!
As rare elements, Space, Time, Life, and Death are unaffected by any element concentration, because they are omnipresent; if any one of them were missing, then this secret realm would cease to exist!
"It can move freely within shadows? How is this skill like Shadow One's?" Lu Chenxing petted the cat's head twice and finally understood why this early three-tiered dark night cat妖 had been so hard to find.
It had been following him the whole time, using its three-tiered ability to move through the shadows, while observing his every move, waiting to find his weakness before leaping down to deliver a fatal blow!
Perhaps it saw Lu Chenxing always using Light, Lightning, and Fire magic, and assumed he could only use these three types of magic, so it attacked him the moment he couldn't pull out a card.
After all, in this secret realm, if one truly were a mage of these three elements, then without almost any natural elements to draw upon and unable to produce cards, they would be no different from a living target.
"A bit clever, but only petty cleverness," Lu Chenxing finally defined it, then snapped his fingers.
Crack—!
The sound of shattering glass rang out, and then the connection between the dark night cat妖's head, which Lu Chenxing had just touched, and its body abruptly severed. The break was as smooth as a mirror, and then both parts fell limply to the ground, blood flowing freely.
Collecting its claws and crystal, Lu Chenxing dispersed the surrounding Spatial Element fluctuations, then opened his map for a look. "Next, let's go find the Ghost-Faced Fox."
However, this reminded Lu Chenxing of another idea for making money: "If I sell single-attribute 'Element Condensation' cards in the surrounding cities, it seems like it could be very profitable! No, no, why should I do it myself? I can just sell the copyright and collect dividends!"
Thinking this, Lu Chenxing decided to go back and create single-attribute Element Condensation cards for all ten attributes. After applying for copyrights, he would ask President Long to help with selling the copyrights; President Long knew many people and had wide connections, so it would definitely be no problem.
Having settled this matter in his mind, Lu Chenxing hummed a tune in a rather pleasant mood. In this secret realm, with no one watching, he truly felt no different from strolling through his own backyard.
Before long, he arrived at the Ghost-Faced Fox's territory. A three-tiered fox with black and purple patterns resembling a ghost face bared its teeth at him. He immediately pulled out a card, condensed a spear of Light, Fire, and Lightning attributes, and threw it at the fox.
He had named this series of moves "World-Destroying Spear."
At the same time, Lu Chenxing communicated with the dark attribute elements to form a swamp, trapping the fox. The fox couldn't even run away and could only activate its three-tiered ability, condensing a dark attribute light ball in its mouth, intending to launch it to prematurely detonate the spear!
The idea was good, but unfortunately, Lu Chenxing smiled slightly, raised a finger, and softly uttered four words as his lips parted: "Element Restriction Domain."
In an instant, the dark attribute elements, which had been extremely close to the fox, immediately turned like a faithless lover, abandoning it. No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't win them back.
Thus, after a spectacular elemental explosion, only a single crystal remained on the ground; the fox barely had any body parts left, as it was a three-attribute Element Condensation spell, in Lu Chenxing's hands.
In a dark attribute secret realm, the appearance of the "World-Destroying Spear" series was simply a dimensionality reduction strike! These beasts had almost no resistance to these three attributes! It was incredibly satisfying to use!
