Chapter 71: Chapter 71 The Strength of the Barbaric Bull
Translator: 549690339
“System: Squad number four has reached the Cursed Altar in one hour and two minutes. Other squads, keep up the fight!”
The other three squads were nearly provoked to spout blood when they saw this system prompt. Keep up the fight, my ass! They had only traveled halfway and the shadow of the Cursed Altar was still nowhere in sight, yet the others had already reached the end.
Not to mention the number of ordinary monsters Li Yao had dispatched which was itself staggering, even the elite monsters he had dispatched were more than the ordinary monsters they had dispatched.
“This is freaking inhuman.”
The MT leading for Plumeria was on the verge of tears. He was absolutely exhausted – all for the sake of keeping up with Li Yao’s pace. Yet, unthinkable as it was, he was worn out but the others had already reached the finish.
“The monsters here give lots of experience. This guy is just farming levels here. With so many monsters consumed by him alone, he must have reached level six by now.”
“We are also experts, why is there such a big gap. The foreigner this morning was abnormal enough, but this one is even worse, it’s like comparing a witch to a master sorcerer.”
“Shut up, no matter how strong he is, he’s only one person. Everyone focus on the monsters, find an opportunity to take him out and eliminate him later.
Damn it, this is too freakish.” Bridge to Oblivion was regretting terribly for not taking this guy seriously he had the upper hand.
Bridge to Oblivion was deeply regretful, but now there was no other way but to speed up.
“Path to the Underworld, speed up, don’t be overtaken by those girls.”
He was currently very worried. Out of the four squads, one would be eliminated. Everyone thought it would be Li Yao, but he had already reached the end. And those girls from BaiHua League couldn’t be taken lightly.
“Don’t worry, Vice President, we are all elites of the guild. The BaiHua League is nothing but a minor, insignificant guild.” Path to the Underworld said confidently.
“That’s a relief, today is definitely an unlucky day, everyone needs to give it their all.”
Li Yao had no interest in what the other squads were up to, his eyes were fixated on the treasure box before him.
Without a doubt, he was certainly going to open the Gold Treasure Box now. Though the gameplay of each stage was different, the rules of the rewards were the same.
At the end of each stage, there would be a treasure box. The malicious part was any squad, unless eliminated, could open any box. As a result, many inexperienced squads, even if they were first, couldn’t necessarily open the best box.
However, Li Yao didn’t have this concern, the other three squads were still on their way.
Li Yao carefreely began to open the most dazzling Gold Treasure Box.
A golden light flashed, Li Yao took a deep breath and reached into the golden box.
Usually, the lowest level Milk Cow Pass used two bull heads as sacrifice, only had a single stage, and the reward was also the lowest. The stuff in the box was comparable to the Blue Equipment from the area where the ordinary milk cow pass level monsters appeared, and there wouldn’t be a Gold Treasure Box.
The Milk Cow Pass that opened with four bull heads usually had two stages. Upon completing the first stage, a golden box would appear with a reward comparable to the Purple Equipment level of the field, and some other stuff.
Actually, what Li Yao was hoping for the most was the Milk Cow Pass opened with sixteen or more bull heads as sacrifice. And it had to be the open pasture stage, which was an open-ended map, filled with various kinds of treasure boxes and bosses. It offered the most rewarding loot.
Li Yao shook his head, running into such a grazing pass stage wasn’t likely to come along casually.
He felt a cold piece of equipment in his hand, then pulled it out.
Crimson Spike
Grade: Blue Superior
Attack: 18-23
Strength: 16
Agility: 14
Special Effect: Attacks have a certain chance to summon a Spirit of the Wild Bull that lasts for 10 seconds.
Required Level: 7
Required Profession: None
Li Yao stroked the dagger in his hand. The entire dagger was shaped like a bull’s horn with a crimson color, and it wasn’t heavy. It was a top-tier weapon for rogues.
The special effect was easy to understand. It could summon a lasting meat shield for ten seconds. The Spirit of Wild Bull could trample and charge, it was a pretty decent aid. If used properly, it became a little artifact.
Li Yao put the dagger into his bag. He couldn’t use this equipment and searched again. This time he found a belt.
Savage Bull Belt
Grade: Purple Epic Material: Leather Armor
Armor Level: 39 Strength: 18
Agility: 17
Endurance: 15
Power of the Savage Bull: Gain the Power of the Savage Bull, during which the strength is multiplied by five. Lasts 3 seconds, cooling time 15 seconds.
Potion Space: Has four slots for potion placement.
Equipment Level: 6
Required Profession: Druid, Thief, Hunter, Shaman, Martial Monk
Even having seen good equipment before, on seeing this equipment, Li Yao’s breath still hitched. This equipment was just too top-notch.
The savage bull equipment had an overpowered increase in armor, not to mention its attribute enhancement which was truly game-changing, particularly the fifteen points of stamina which once again boosted his health significantly.
The potion space wasn’t something novel. Every belt of purple grade or above had potion slots.
What Li Yao was most concerned about was the Power of the Savage Bull. For players at this stage, this effect just increased some attack power, but the increase in attack power was limited and didn’t have much practical effect. But for the reincarnated Li Yao, the effect was enormous.
If he had this belt in the mineshaft, he wouldn’t even need the bed crossbow.
He could have used a heavy crossbow to lock down the boss’s mechanical arm.
He might even lock down another arm of the boss after fifteen seconds. In that case, the boss would just be a stationary target.
Li Yao swapped his belt, his attributes instantly increased significantly. Then he put his hand back into the treasure box and pulled out a skill book. The Gold Treasure Box was already empty.
Mark of Death: Cast a mark of death on the target. Attacks on the marked target cause 15% more damage, marked targets cannot enter stealth. The mark lasts for 2 minutes and can be cast on only one target.
Learnable Profession: Hunter
Without hesitation, Li Yao learned Mark of Death. This skill added to his combat power once again. Moreover, this mark also granted its added benefits to his pet.
Hunters were gradually accepted in the late stages, a significant reason being a rune. The rune could strengthen and upgrade the Mark of Death. The whole squad could enjoy the additional benefits from the mark. It could be said that it protected a hunter’s job, and it was very rare during the early stages.
With a satisfied heart, Li Yao stood up his brow faintly furrowed. The other squads were still far away. Waiting for them was simply a waste of time, but he had no choice other than waiting.
With a thought, Li Yao whistled, he and his pet set off to slay monsters again. He decided to also level up his fire hawk to level six, traveling towards the side of BaiHua League as he did so.
He didn’t know the rules of the second stage. Li Yao did not want to face two squads from Plumeria all by himself. So, he had to eliminate one of their squads, slowing them down.
But this approach also had its downside. Bridge to Oblivion would definitely think of a way to deal with him, especially when they would eliminate one squad, that squad could completely attack him before being teleported out.
Nevertheless, Li Yao didn’t mind, dealing with a single squad temporarily was better than dealing with two squads at once…
