The Fire Bird was incredibly fast, attracting a hoard of monsters in the blink of an eye. The group were all experts but were taken aback by the sight.
Sure, such tactics might be common in other games, but in “The Ancient God World”, it was near impossible. Free mode combat was too tough, especially with a group. What kind of joke was that? It was extremely difficult for players at their current stage.
Endless Sea of Suffering roared and was the first to turn to run. If they hesitated in this situation, they’d be dead in no time.
Following Endless Sea of Suffering’s roar, the squad began to sprint like mad.
However, they underestimated the flight speed of the Fire Bird and likewise, the speed of these ordinary monsters.
The area mainly consisted of unusually fast Skeletons and Spider Demons. After running for a bit, they realized they wouldn’t be able to outrun these monsters.
“Defensive formation! Tighten up!”
As accomplished players of a significant guild, they formed the most basic formation at the command of Endless Sea of Suffering.
A warrior and a Knight stood at the forefront of the team, with the Mage and the Magician at the back, and the Priest in the middle.
This formation provided ample protection for the Priest. As long as the Priest was safe, he could continuously heal the tanks at the front, securing the survival of the entire team.
“Attack his pet from a distance. Find out who this guy is!”
Since there was no way out, Endless Sea of Suffering managed to calm down.
The first thing he thought of was acquiring the guy’s ID. How could they take revenge if they didn’t even know who the guy was?
If that was the case, they’d be a losing a lot more than just a simple game; they wouldn’t even know how to explain it when they returned.
They couldn’t possibly tell the Guild Leader, “We tried to look cool but failed, got wiped out by a monster aggro, and don’t even know the guy’s name.” If they reported that, he’d definitely be demoted in the guild.
“Can’t do it, that Fire Bird is too cunning. Its speed is fast and it moves unpredictably. We simply can’t hit it given the distance,” lamented the Mage and the Magician of the team after failing to hit the Fire Bird with several abilities.
With Endless Sea of Suffering positioned at the very front, his face turned green. He shot a fiery glance at Li Yao, who was smiling at them from a distance.
“Friend, you’ve done more than enough for today. You have no idea what you’ve provoked. Tell your Fire Bird to lead the monsters away and we’ll call it even for today,” he proposed.
“Stop yelling, you’re running out of health. Look behind you, your Mage and Magician are about to die, and your Priest is under attack.” Li Yao kindly reminded them.
“Damn it” Endless Sea of Suffering yelled, “Kid, just you wait. We have people all around us, you can’t run.”
The area surrounding them was now full of monsters. Since the monsters couldn’t reach the Fire Bird, they’d turned their attention to them. Their two ranged characters were already dead and their Priest was on his last legs. Their chances of survival were slim to none.
“I’ll be waiting.” Li Yao scoffed dismissively.
In his past life, even when being hunted down by the Prosperous Era players, Li Yao never backed down. After becoming a Hunter, he continuously sought revenge on the Shengshi Guild.
He earned the nicknames – ‘Number One Grit Emperor’, ‘First Everlasting
Gobstopper’, ‘Top Cockroach’ – for incessantly causing trouble for the Prosperous Era with just himself and his pet, and even nearly achieving Divine Enthronement.
Li Yao had played as a Hunter for eight years. He was confident that he could have achieved Divine Enthronement at the beginning of the game as a Hunter, even without any external help.
Especially now, when he was reborn. What was there to fear?
With a final roar, Endless Sea of Suffering blurted out like a villain from those television dramas. I’ll be back!!!
There were simply too many monsters for a single warrior and a defense knight to handle. The priest, overwhelmed by the monsters, was promptly killed. This was followed by the knights falling to the ‘Endless Sea of Suffering’.
After a few players were killed, the Fire Bird flapped its wings, trapping the monsters in a sea of flaming feathers. Li Yao also unleashed his Arrow Rain, and soon the monsters were transformed into his experience points.
He was in luck; a Blue Magic Staff for the priest and a Blue Greatsword for the warrior dropped. The rest were Green Equip, but overall, the loot was decent.
One doesn’t always need to get their hands dirty to kill.
Of course, the one in high spirits was Li Yao. The souls that returned to the graveyard, however, were near tears, especially the priest — without her Blue Weapon, her healing abilities would significantly decrease.
Li Yao never shied away from troubles but also wasn’t fond of never-ending ones. He summoned Eileen’s mount after dealing with the items, intending to find the location of the Altar.
Wiping out a small team didn’t bring any sense of achievement to Li Yao, who as a hunter, saw luring monsters to cause chaos among other players as a standard trick-of-the-trade.
The title of ‘King of the Wilderness’ wasn’t just for show. Judging the terrain and situation to make the most advantageous decisions, gaining maximum results with minimum cost, were the standards of a good hunter.
It wasn’t about having good aim with a bow or firearms, contrary to what most players believed a good hunter should be.
For an average hunter, having a mighty pet is a show of strength. However, for top-tier players, it’s their own skills that truly decide their power.
In his previous life, there were several Beast King hunters with divine pets, but in the end, none of them even achieved the Quasi-god status, let alone Divine Enthronement.
Li Yao sat on his Dragon Eagle, circling over the ruins.
The Altar, a slightly ethereal stone statue, was easily identifiable. It was so large and conspicuous that Li Yao spotted the statue after just ten minutes of flight.
By the time he arrived, there were already two teams of players at the statue. Li Yao frowned slightly, circling once before landing his mount next to the statue.
An Undead Clan mage saw his arrival, his frown deepening as he coldly asked, “You’re the one who killed my Beyond the Shore flower, right? So domineering.”
However, Li Yao didn’t reply and instead just studied the statue. The arrival at the Milk Cow Pass brought memories of rivers of blood and countless player deaths from his past life.
Milk Cow Pass, known to some as the game of winners. Only the victorious taste the sweet fruit of victory, while the losers depart in disappointment.
“Hey, our deputy leader is speaking to you. Don’t you have any manners?” complained a warrior standing behind the Mage.
Li Yao looked down at the two teams from atop his mount and said casually, “Hold back your laughable arrogance; I am not one of your subordinates.”
“You’ve got guts,” the Mage, Death Bridge, looked at Li Yao in disbelief. If he hadn’t seen the Fire Bird hovering in the air and wasn’t aware that Li Yao had wiped out a Guild team, he would have mistook him as an NPC. Now, he couldn’t figure out his real strength. Li Yao had to be unique as a player who could ride a flying mount.
“You’ve already seen my courage. I don’t want to be tangled up with you. I’ve got one thing to say, I have a cow head. If you want to fight, you can forget about opening the Milk Cow Pass.”
Li Yao was not courteous at all.
A chill flashed in Death Bridge’s eyes before he burst into laughter, “My guild members are ignorant. If they offended you and ended up dead, they earned it. After all, the Milk Cow Pass is more important, so I hope you won’t do anything rash.”
“Then get out of my sight, you make me sick,” Li Yao cut him off and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the team with the fourth cow head to arrive.
Death Bridge’s companions were ready to face off against Li Yao, but he stopped them. In their team voice chat, he said, “We’ll settle with him once the
Milk Cow Pass is opened. Ignore him for now and let him enjoy his moment.”
After a while, a team composed of female players entered their field of vision.
