Chapter 884 -884: Picking Up a Bargain

The situation now was that any faction leader’s battle was a death trap for those who dared to participate.

Especially the players, countless of whom, disbelievingly and emboldened by a temporary boost to level six attributes, joined the battle, only to be killed instantly by the residual effects of the fight.

It made them realize the true difference between elites and faction leaders.

Nevertheless, players continuously tried to intervene, motivated by the sheer strength of these three bosses; without a doubt, great items would drop upon their defeat.

Of course, many experts also wanted to test their own strength.

However, these were mostly individual players and experts, whereas players from large guilds were very organized, mainly because their leaders were more rational.

In fact, guild leaders had already sensed something was amiss; the female Earl had begun to show cracks.

The task issued by the female Earl was to go through a secret passage to complete a military mission, assist her troops in capturing the city center, and hold out until reinforcements arrived.

But what actually happened was, they followed through, and ended up facing the Draconid army, soon followed by the Orc army.

Initially, they thought the plan had been compromised, leading to a three-way melee, but as the battle continued, they could not understand the proceedings.

First, the female Earl helped the Orcs against the Draconid, then inexplicably turned around to fight the Orcs, and now, damn it, she was attacking the Draconids again.

The players were utterly confused and baffled, but by now, having suffered significant casualties and stuck in the situation, they needed to obtain corresponding compensation or face huge losses.

Moreover, after prolonged fighting, the battlefield had become extremely chaotic, the guild formations had broken down, and only small-scale team battles were possible.

The armies of the three factions intertwined intentionally to prevent the Red Dragon’s large-scale Dragon Breath, having learned from hard experience.

Instant Blossom of Qionghua Club led a team to encircle a level six mid-tier boss, but just as the boss was about to die, players from two other guilds eyed the boss greedily, each faction desperately outputting damage to kill the boss first and gain the most experience.

Li Yao wanted to take advantage, mainly to snatch the boss.

“Want to steadily kill the boss, add me to your team,” Li Yao directly messaged Instant Blossom and his sister.

Li Jia’s face lit up with surprise, “Brother, where are you? I can’t see you.”

“You really do show up wherever there’s an advantage, even knowing such a secret mission,” Instant Blossom said, her tone filled with surprise, knowing that although many participated, the mission was highly confidential.

They didn’t even know the specifics of the mission or the location at the start. And the mission was almost over without any streamers noticing; otherwise, with so many large guilds involved, it would have caused quite a stir.

She was certain that Li Yao had not participated in this mission at the start, but unexpectedly, he appeared now, clearly wanting to take advantage in the confusion.

“This really is a coincidence, forget it, no time to explain, if it weren’t for my sister, I would have snatched it myself,” Li Yao said nonchalantly, but his eyes were fixed on the boss’s health bar, constantly calculating the best moment to act.

“I’ve already swapped a player who died to another team, all right, join our team,” Instant Blossom said, holding a good impression of Li Yao due to Li Jia, and knowing that whenever good opportunities arose, Li Yao would first think of her guild. Starfire and Qionghua Guild had always maintained very good relations, being among the few large guilds that got along well with Starfire, adding to their glorious reputation.

“Focus on your own fights, don’t worry about me,” Li Yao said as he looked at the other two guilds, one from a neutral faction and one from the Light Faction.

Beneath them, the Orc boss’s health finally depleted under continuous assault, and players from all three factions frantically dealt damage hoping to strike the last blow.

Just as the boss’s health bar was reduced to a sliver, a massive scythe slammed into the boss, instantly wiping its remaining health. Its attack was terrifying, for its attributes were immensely high, supplemented by its status as a high-level boss, far surpassing that of any player.

The boss that would have taken several more seconds to kill collapsed instantly, leaving all the players stunned. They then rushed madly toward the boss, hoping to loot the items it dropped.

The only ones who stepped back were the members of the Qionghua Guild, as they saw a lich surrounded by two swirling chains descend from the sky.

The chains around him whirled wildly, and he brandished two single-handed sickles, his moves mirroring a warrior’s Whirlwind Slash, covering a wide area.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft…

Li Yao recklessly entered the range of the spell barrage, enduring a great deal of magic. Yet, as his sickles harvested lives, his strong bloodsucking ability continuously replenished his health.

All the players on the periphery were stunned. In less than two seconds, all those melee fighters who had approached the corpse to loot were annihilated.

Suddenly, within a fifteen-yard radius, about twenty players were killed instantly—it was utterly shocking.

“Logically, I killed the boss, so the spoils should belong to me, right?” Li Yao said as he danced with his chains. Three purple Medals of Merit rose from the ground, two of them flying towards the direction of the Qionghua Club.

One caught by him, one snagged by Flash of Brilliance, and one grabbed by Li Jia.

“I’m changing locations, feel free to do whatever,” Li Yao said, stepping back as he sprang into the air with a flash of his wings.

Shadow Escape!

He then entered the shadows, the Touch of Darkness spreading. Armed with his sickle, he secured himself at the top, looking for the next opportunity.

His attributes had been enhanced, killing the corresponding boss without a world announcement and only yielding experience a grade lower than the current boss’s true level.

Although it was so, it still amounted to a substantial experience. His first move was merely to assist his junior, who was in a weaker team with heavy casualties and lacking reinforcements nearby.

The rest of the time he was on his own. He didn’t particularly need these Medals of Merit, but his guild members did; they were rather precious guild resources that could swiftly regenerate life, so why not take advantage of them?

Li Yao, possessing the Eye of the Creator along with his now extremely high attributes, would truly be wasting his potential if he did not make good use of them.

“Scum of the Prosperous Era, since I’ve run into you, I might as well collect some interest,” he mused. Although Prosperous Era hadn’t openly retaliated against Starfire, their subtle sabotages had been constant. Both guilds were well aware that they were at a point of no return.

Moreover, with many from Starfire securing high rankings, Prosperous Era felt a strong threat and had intensified their actions. Li Yao was too busy to retaliate, but now that he had encountered a team from Prosperous Era, he wouldn’t let them off…

Moreover, this was just the beginning, more easy pickings were on the way, guaranteed to make Prosperous Era bleed…
