Silver Elites, commonly abbreviated as Elites, are a weakened version of boss enemies. They can be easier to deal with than bosses, but whether animal Elites or humanoid Elites, they always drop special items upon death.
These special items are usually unique and rare, especially since the bosses in “The Ancient God World” are incredibly difficult to defeat. As the number of players increases, so do the properties of the boss, making wild bosses seem very far-fetched for normal players.
In the previous life, due to the increase in levels, many precious chests would be locked. This made the Elites a favorite among players, and killing an Elite usually yielded a small fortune. Countless murders have occurred due to the contention over the Elites.
Just as Li Yao was about to step in and help, he noticed another Necromancer in a black cloak on the other side.
The escaping Goblin was much shorter than regular Goblins. Seeing two players, whether from shock or excitement, he didn’t watch his step and tripped over.
Then Li Yao saw the little Goblin tumble away like a ball, and he covered his face in disbelief. Despite Goblins already being small, this one was exceptionally small.
Regular players might not notice, but someone like Li Yao, with ten years of gaming experience, instantly understood that this must be a child.
This made Li Yao even more confused because both elderly and young players are required to choose a neutral camp in the game, which should place them on a different continent.
They usually choose races like Demons, Angels, Barbarians, Amazons, and so forth. The elderly even have their own Beginner’s Village, which provides many other styles of play.
Away from combat, activities like chess, pet raising, and gardening are available. After entering the game, elderly people’s bodies and spirits are fortified, so even those who cannot walk in reality can move freely in the game. There are surprisingly many elderly people playing battle roles.
Children are the same. They are in the same Beginner’s Village as the elderly, but there are different game mechanisms, like the blood screen shield, monster cartoonization, etc.
But now, there was a child popping up right in front of him.
Although Li Yao had many conjectures in his mind, he only made them in a split second. The distance between the child and the two players was too far. He thought that this child was surely a goner, but then a child tumbling did not wail in pain; instead, he quickly stood up and planted a dull yellow Totem column on the ground.
As soon as they entered the effective range of the Totem, the movements of the Silver Elite and the two other Elite beasts slowed down considerably.
Li Yao was once again surprised. To his knowledge, ordinary Shaman Priests upon reaching level 10 would receive their first Totem after completing a class task, and the first Totem they received was the Healing Totem.
Under Li Yao’s surprised stare, the little Goblin once again planted a fiery red Totem.
The Fire Snake Totem started spitting fireballs and attacked the slow-moving Silver Elite.
“Help me quickly, items drop will be distributed according to need. If everyone needs them, we can roll for them. Agree then join the team.” The little Goblin child shouted while sending out a team invitation. His voice was sweet and crisp, which made Li Yao even more certain about his guess.
“Such a smart little girl, showing her own strength and value first, and then forming a team.”
Li Yao then accepted the team request.
“System: You joined the team led by Dazed and Cute Eyes. The team is in team loot mode.”
“System: Enchantress joined Dazed and Cute Eyes’s team.”
With the system notification, the two new members of the team took action.
Li Yao swiftly deployed three Arrow Towers side by side, and immediately threw a Spike Trap in his hand.
With a loud boom, the three monsters started to bleed. As the Arrow Towers began firing, Li Yao quickly drew his bow and started attacking the Poison Arrow Frog Elite at the Silver Elite’s left.
Enchantress wasn’t idle either. She threw a bone shining with Bronze light from her hand.
With the explosion of the bone, a Skeleton Warrior holding a Bronze Great Sword started attacking the Poison Arrow Frog Elite Li Yao was targeting.
She then began to chant a spell, and a glowing white Bone Spear floated above her head.
Dazed and Cute Eyes’ eyes burned with excitement, “Her hands began to crackle with electric arcs.”
The Bone Spear exploded on the Poison Arrow Frog Elite’s body, then followed by a crackling lightning. This was a group attack spell by Shaman Priests, the Lightning Chain.
Just after the first round of collective attacks, the tragic Poison Arrow Frog Elite was already brought down by countless assaults.
“How did a baby like you become a Goblin?” Li Yao suddenly asked.
Dazed and Cute Eyes glared at Li Yao, discontentedly saying, “You’re too naive if you’re trying to trick me.”
“I was only guessing before, but now I’m sure you can’t be older than ten.”
“Hmph, sneaky guy, I’m warning you, this is a secret. You better not blabber about it.” Dumbfounded pupil waved her tiny fist, charged with electric arcs, at Li Yao.
“So it’s a child.” Seeing pupil looking at her, the variable witch said with a laugh, “But nevermind, I am not interested in other people’s affairs.”
“Big sister really knows the rule, unlike somebody who is much more meddlesome. It’s truly rude to peep into someone else’s secrets.”
Li Yao laughed without a word, not teasing the little girl any further. However, a name finally came into his mind, the Shaman God, Gu Dantong.
This player was unknown in the past, but in the divine enthronement war after the game operated for ten years, she surpassed shamans of major clubs and successfully enthroned with overwhelming strength.
Later, it was said that this Shaman God was not originally named this but changed the name after she grew up. She was a shaman in a small team and it was said that she had not entered the neutral camp when she was young, but had joined the dark camp directly.
Tongtong and Gu Dantong have a homonym ‘tong’, and both are goblins, and shamans. Moreover, the opponent can use so many totems at less than level ten.
The more Li Yao thought about it, the more likely it seemed that they were the same person, but at the time, Li Yao failed to enthrone and was in a state of confusion and did not pay detailed attention and was not completely sure.
The remaining two minions of the silver hero finally fell under the trio’s abnormal firepower. A few minutes later, the silver hero also collapsed under their feet.
Due to Tongtong’s healing totem, the three were basically full of blood after the fight ended.
“I’ll go loot the body, everyone is okay with it, right?” Dumbfounded pupil Tongtong asked in the team.
Seeing the two nodding, dumbfounded pupil Tongtong excitedly ran over and then two items appeared on their team’s panel.
Linen cloth bag: 10 space bag
Blueprint for Linen Bag: Linen cloth roll*3, ordinary fuel*1
Li Yao shook his head first and said, “I’m not a tailor and I don’t want to learn tailoring.”
Dumbfounded pupil also said, “Me neither.”
“Then, I will take them first, thanks.” The variable witch put her screenshot of her tailoring 325/1000 into the team chat.
Li Yao and Dumbfounded pupil gave up rolling for the item. Thus, the blueprint went into the bag of the variable witch. Their evaluation of the variable witch was again improved. At this stage, it was extremely rare to learn a side job, and her skeleton was obviously stronger than the general necromancer’s, which means she is not an ordinary player.
“I can make a bag at 350. I can make a few for you for free when the time comes.” Although her appearance wasn’t visible, her happy voice was clear.
Li Yao, of course, knew that she had no reason not to be happy. At the beginning, the character only has a dozen slots in their bag, and they can hang four small bags on the belt. Getting this blueprint will certainly earn her a fortune.
“Thank you, big sister.” Dumbfounded pupil saw the remaining bag and said, “Big brother, let’s roll for this bag.”
Li Yao shook his head and said, “Forget it, you can take it. The witch is going to give us a bag in a couple of days anyway.”
Anyway, the bag is temporarily enough, and new bags will be coming soon. There’s no point in arguing with a little kid over a small bag.
“Thank you so much big brother, I was running out of bags, the annoying totems take up too much space.” Dumbfounded pupil muttered.
Li Yao laughed and pulled out a carving knife to collect the silver hero.
“What are you doing?” The variable witch was puzzled, “You can also gather?”
This dumbfounded pupil also saw Li Yao collecting and explained, “Big sister, don’t you know, buying an excellent carving knife can decompose the body of an animal monster three times.”
“So that’s how it works. No wonder players complain that the production of animal monsters is low. It’s unjust, players complained to the officials, and the official explanation was to explore by oneself. I didn’t know it could work .” The variable witch looked at the pupil and could tell she didn’t even know the basic rules, and her face suddenly became red.
“Cough, how did you come to think of it?” Luckily, her cloak covered her face so others could not see her embarrassment.
“It’s pretty simple. On the first day, I fought normal beasts and found that the profits were very low, several times lower than those of humanoid monsters. And this game is open, so I thought about the reason. Then I strolled around in a city store and saw a carving knife, so I tried buying two and found out.” Dumbfounded ‘Tongtong’ took it for granted, “You guys didn’t even know it. My big brother and I are smart.”
Variable witch raised her head, speechless, so did Li Yao, because if he hadn’t been reborn, he would have known it only after seeing the strategy online.
“Cough, let’s take turns collecting the monsters we kill.” Li Yao proposed, and then asked, “What kind of tasks did you come here to do? If It’s a convenient way, let’s go together.”
“Great, I am here to skin some poison dart frogs to practice tailoring.” The variable witch was also hoping to keep the small party together. The previous battle showed her the strong combat power of the two and she felt a bit weak. Fighting ordinary monsters is easy, but if she wants to fight the elite bronze skeletons alone, it takes a long time to recover if she hang up, and with the healing totem, you don’t have to worry about this issue. Also, don’t have to worry about the damage of poison fog.
Of course, the most important thing was to see the integrity of the two. From the previous conversation, she knew that both were smart people and it would be impossible for them not to know the value of the blueprint. This point has already explained a lot.
“That annoying goblin old man sent me here to collect monster souls, saying that he will help me reconcile some totems.”
Li Yao also said, “I need highly toxic glands. Our goals don’t conflict. Let’s use the previous distribution model, okay?”
Seeing the two nod, Li Yao thought for a while and said, “With Tongtong’s several totems, my arrow tower and spike trap, and our three strong outputs, why don’t we find a good terrain and have a mass brushing?”
Pupils’ eyes suddenly lit up and nodded, “Okay, okay, I’ve just been abused by monsters since I entered this game.”…
