Completing such a task would grant a small pet or a fabrication blueprint.
Mechanical pets are already rare, and the tasks to get them are even rarer.
When Li Yao got a fragment, it was just a part of the task item. He had to collect all three to truly trigger the task.
Moreover, the fragments’ drop isn’t constant, and it’s a world-rare drop. Furthermore, it’s bound to the individual, which makes gathering all three fragments quite a challenging task.
To illustrate, Li Yao, in his past life, spent a decade to complete this task only once. This shows how rare it is.
Having a mechanical pet, which can only be obtained by such tasks, is genuinely a thing to boast about.
However, when a blueprint of a mechanical pet reaches Li Yao’s hands, it is no longer just a pet. It becomes a mechanical combat pet, with its value becoming immeasurable.
“I hope I can assemble them sooner and not spend years, like in my previous life,” Li Yao shook his head and continued searching for treasure chests.
On the outskirts of the forest, there were level twelve and thirteen Draconid Elites as a general rule. However, with the coordination of hundreds of close and distant combatants, even the smaller Draconid fortities couldn’t stop Li Yao.
After half a day, Li Yao killed many Draconids and opened four treasure chests. However, he still did not find the Flying Wheel he desired.
This made Li Yao wonder if the information on that particular Flying Wheel was wrong, or if the Droconids weren’t its source.
Alternatively, it could originate from the Draconids and treasure chests located in the middle.
However, even with Li Yao’s extreme abilities, he dared not venture deeper yet. This place was too dangerous, and the outer area was somewhat safer.
The closer you got to the center, you would even encounter the patrolling Giant Dragons. If you met them, you were basically doomed.
“It turns out to be a boss.” Li Yao looked at a stronghold in the distance. By the bonfire, a tall Draconid was enjoying grilled meat served by his subordinates.
Rank: Level 13 Draconid Boss
Armor Type: Lead Dragon Scale Armor
Elemental Resistance: Basic Fire Resistance, Basic Life (Nature) Resistance
Skill: Dragon’s Might, Dragon’s Breath, Toxic Corrosion, Whirling Slash, Toxic Explosion.
Although he knew the Draconid Boss would be powerful, he didn’t expect it to be this strong. The boss at the Faselin Academy only had a health of about 80,000.
Li Yao activated his passive ability. When not in combat, his form would be shrouded in a fog, transporting him to another subspace, similar to a stealth effect.
After entering combat, a layer of fog enveloped his body, making it impossible for outsiders to see his specific appearance.
He assessed the stronghold and estimated there to be about seventy to eighty Draconids.
Li Yao contemplated for a moment, deciding to quickly eliminate the minions around the boss before facing the boss himself.
The Draconid Skeleton took the lead in close combat with Li Yao, focusing on snipers.
The Draconid Boss was overpowered, inflicting abnormal damage. It could eliminate a Draconid Skeleton with just a few attacks.
However, because his subordinates were also dying continuously, there was no sign of a reduction in Li Yao’s Undead Servants. They always maintained numbers around a hundred.
On the contrary, the number of monsters around the boss gradually decreased. The terrifying aspect of the Dark Ranger in a state of war lies here.
“Group leader, there’s a boss here,” a thief sneaking around in the distance said in the team chat.
“What boss?” Qiu Chujie, group leader of the Whole Truth Guild, asked: “Tell me in detail.”
The thief said: “It seems like monsters are fighting to the death, one group of them being Undead Dragonmen, and the other group being the Draconid Boss.”
“Two bosses?” Qiu Chujie frowned.
“That’s great, we’ve hit the jackpot this time,” Guild leader Tie Niu’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
“Bro, these are two bosses. You said we’d follow my commands this time,” said a helpless Qiu Chujie.
“Um, alright. Today, your words carry more weight than mine,” Tie Niu replied coolly while stroking his white long hair: “The word ‘handsome’ defines my entire life. Today, I’ll merely be a quiet, handsome man. Carry on.”
The members attacking the Draconids wore dark expressions. Tie Niu too had chosen a High Elf.
But in reality, he was overweight, and anyone seeing him would never think he was an elf. He was more like an Ogre, with a brain full of lard. The word ‘handsome’ had no relevance with him.
“Guild leader, we know you’re handsome, but you’ve already completed half of the elite tasks. You’re so powerful, and you’re just watching us fighting monsters while you split the experience points. Is this really okay?” the Priest girl in the group complained.
“Practice, practice okay? You all know how strong I am. When I intervene, what use are you all? Do you want me to help with your elite tasks as well?” Countered Tie Niu, while eating grilled meat, chewing it appreciatively and savoring each bite.
“Alright, stop arguing, do you want to fight the boss or not?” Qiu Chujie said helplessly: “You keep going, what’s the situation over there?”
“Well, one is the Draconid Boss, very tough, and its attacks are abnormal. But the other boss is even tougher, shrouded in a thick black fog. His attack is much worse than the Draconid boss, but the Draconids killed by him will become Skeleton Dragonmen. What’s more, the Skeleton Dragonmen are even tougher than when they were alive. Now, there are only a few bosses left around the Draconid boss, and I think they will soon besiege the Draconid boss,” said the thief.
The thief completely thought Li Yao, shrouded in the black fog, was a boss.
“Then let’s wait until they are both grievously injured. We will show up then and quickly clear these few Draconids,” Qiu Chujie said.
The members cheered. If it were regular boss battle, they might hesitate, because they knew very well how abnormal the Draconids were.
If it weren’t for the guild’s analyst, who concluded that Dragon Scales drop here, and the fact that they just happened to have an Intermediate Blacksmith, they wouldn’t have come to this dangerous place from afar.
Li Yao, who was besieged by nearly a hundred silver elites.
The close combat Draconid Skeletons besieged him while the distant Draconids also played the role of a turret.
Even though the Draconid Boss’s health was off the charts, and his armor and resistance were very high, against so many silver elites, he had no choice.
The tactic of overwhelming numbers was excellently used by Li Yao.
All of a sudden, Li Yao received a message from the Fire Hawk. It had stopped attacking long ago and was flying high above, surveilling the conditions below and scouting for Li Yao.
Soon after receiving the message, when the Boss still had about one-third of his health left, a team of players slowly approached Li Yao.
Seeing their guild icon, Li Yao immediately recognized it.
Whole Truth, a guild that was neither too big nor too small. Their numbers weren’t high, even after the sudden increase of players. But this guild is united and friendly. Their guild leader, Tie Niu, was notorious for his sleaziness and lack of tone. However, he was very kind to his guild members and was quite skilled.
Moreover, Tie Niu is extremely provocative and fiercely protective. In his previous life, one of the guild members was conned by a large guild. This led the Whole Truth Guild to feud with the large guild to the very end despite the odds not in their favor.
Even though they were at a disadvantage and usually bore the brunt of the losses.
Even when faced with the threats of the large guild, not a single member left. Their slogan was, ‘even if we can’t kill you, we will make sure you bleed …’ PS: Thanks to my friend narut07073 for his support.
