When it was Cloud Summit's turn, everyone felt anxious, including Ye Zhongming.
Even with the Destruction Thunder alone, he wasn't too worried. According to the roulette's style, it certainly wasn't something that could easily wipe out multiple teams; it should be something that could be resisted. However, its power would be immense, making it difficult to endure. Ye Zhongming wasn't afraid of difficulties, and neither was Cloud Summit.
But this time, the trial not only had various challenges but also involved something as unpredictable as a luck examination. Yes, what Ye Zhongming worried about the most wasn't the Destruction Thunder, but that bad luck card. God knows what kind of trouble the roulette might stir up, leading Cloud Summit to suffer bad luck.
Now, after the frenzied strike by jannadrah, it was Cloud Summit's turn. This strike carried too many uncertainties. Every team was watching Cloud Summit, and even as rivals, they felt that the final step in the contest for the Mountain King Plateau had turned into a situation where Cloud Summit stood against everyone.
Look at what they were experiencing... Difficulty increasing, royalties, nebula, bad luck, exchanges, destruction...
Who could remain calm under so many card effects? It seemed that only this team from the East could do so. Now, they had to advance again. Would they be attacked by the Destruction Thunder?
Ye Zhongming sent out the Soaring Crystal lightly, and they moved forward just one step, reaching the Sixteenth Bright Star, which belonged to the Mechanical Genius.
The dreaded thunder did not strike, but the roulette's prompt sound still rang out.
"Bad luck card target: Cloud Summit Villa is affected by bad luck. In this round, you cannot choose to challenge; you can only pay a toll, and the toll is doubled."
Originally, the toll on this stretch had already doubled, plus there was the one-fifth cut from jannadrah. Now, it doubled again, and even if the Guardian Beasts left by the Mechanical Genius weren't strong and of high level, it would still be a considerable sum.
Just now, after Cloud Summit's "self-damaging" same-name card, did they still have money?
If they had no money, they would have to pay with the lives of their members.
Under the roulette's prompt and the Mechanical Genius's laughter, Cloud Summit... paid the toll.
There was no punishment, proving they had brought enough money.
Many people were disappointed.
They genuinely hoped for Cloud Summit to suffer misfortune.
Ella smiled bitterly and resignedly hit the crystal. For Cloud Summit, the journey from the Twelfth Bright Star to the Twentieth Bright Star was a challenging trek. For them, it was no different, and for the women's camp, it was akin to stepping into hell.
They were out of money now, and landing on any Bright Star would require a challenge, making this journey doubly difficult.
Twelfth... Cloud Summit's.
This battle was exceptionally fierce.
The women's camp was the rival of all teams here; their downfall was something everyone should want to see.
However, just recently, they had essentially lost their qualification to compete, and attitudes towards the women's camp began to shift.
After all, the women's camp had a reputation on the American continent... how should one say it? Aside from that aspect, everything else was quite good.
They might look down on the women's camp because of that, but they didn't reject dealing and interacting with them.
If they withdrew, it would be a good thing.
Without even a potential threat to their interests, people would treat them with a forgiving attitude. That is human nature.
So when they saw the women's camp fighting desperately, many, especially those from America, felt a hint of pity.
The final result was that the women's camp won, but at a great cost; their numbers dwindled significantly.
Anyone could see that with such an intense challenge, if they faced that one or two more times, they would be completely wiped out.
"Cloud Summit's people, what level are your Guardian Beasts?"
