MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 433: Level 20

There was a small slope extending from the water beneath the holograph across, where the Frogmen could attack. This was the cause of the Frogman General’s confidence.

In his view, the prince had already become trapped like a turtle in a jar with no escape. No matter the cost today, victory would come from taking down the prince and returning with his head. He was also covetously eyeing the ancestral treasure of the Frogman race. If he didn’t have grand ambitions, he wouldn’t have betrayed the prince.

The Frogmen also had long-range professions. However, very few Shamans could heal, essentially equivalent to Elemental Shamans who mastered some lightning spells, and the other spell-type Frogman who mastered poison.

Then there were warriors with tridents, and the absence of defensive professions. This was true for various races, and only those races within the three major factions had a complete professional system.

Since they controlled the Frogmen, Li Yao had no chance to gather, as the hydra directly absorbed the toxins.

The Frogman soldiers, accompanied by countless Poison Arrow Frogs, surged like a tide. Almost all of them were 1-star elites, and they were above level twenty.

If it weren’t for the prince’s holograph, it would be almost impossible for a few people to resist the army’s charge. Of course, in that case, Li Yao would also bring over the Fruit Knights, along with the Guardian Angel. It’s the best situation for him to shine, where one man guards the pass and ten thousand cannot get through.

Li Yao and his team launched their attack in an instant. Firstly, the hydra was at the forefront, with Floating Snow slowing the Frogmen’s advance.

Li Yao launched into his Charged Arrow and Multiple Shots Attack, using the Blue Moon Bow. The Arrow Tower, on the other hand, was most suitable for this situation, as its Pierce Arrow could reveal its full power.

The three Cannons, too, roared continuously, causing widespread damage.

Various totems surrounded the stupid-looking Dumb Dumb, some which could release Fireballs and Wind Blades, some causing group damage, some providing healing, and others giving status boosts.

One Earth Element and one Fire Element also joined the battle, blocking the Frogmen’s advance together with the hydra.

Because they were summoned by Totem Calling, they were truly invincible.

They wouldn’t die until the totem was extinguished, just like if the Frogmen couldn’t find the location of their real bodies, eliminating their holographs would be nearly impossible.

And Dumb Dumb’s spells were also quite potent. Lightning ruthlessly ravaged the bodies of the Frogmen.

Sister Li did not have any summoned creatures. She was a pure damage dealer and relied completely on spells.

Blizzards, Frost Globes, wide-scale freezing effects, her damage output, and control were just as heavy, and not much worse than Dumb Dumb.

As spells and skills raged, the Frogmen fell in quick succession, and the experience points of Li Yao’s trio began to skyrocket.

Of course, the spells of the Frogmen also began to wreak havoc. The Frogman Prince pretended to continually heal everyone, maintaining their health lines, making it appear in the General’s eyes.

The fluctuating health bars of the four almost gave the impression that they could be killed in an instant. The Frogmen around the General were beyond excited, too, believing that victory was within reach.

However, they did not know that this was merely an illusion. The General, after all, was merely a level twenty-two 1-star leader. His understanding of the core secrets of the Frogmen was limited, knowing only the rough function of the ancestral treasure. How could he imagine it would be so heavenly?

They didn’t realize that they had fallen into a trap.

At the same time, the ranking list began to change.

As Li Yao was making the Mechanical Puppet, his leveling stalled. Many players received news from Starfire that Li Yao was crafting a secret weapon and hadn’t been seen in days.

Many players were ignited with the desire to compete for the rankings leaderboards, thus when Li Yao was making Puppets, many players were actually beginning to make their moves anonymously.

It was almost back to the situation when Li Yao was in the underground ruins. By this morning, many players were already at level nineteen. However, Li Yao’s experience hadn’t changed much.

But because Li Yao got a Boss’s first kill, it gave many people a bad feeling, even though Li Yao’s experience had increased a lot due to the boss kill, as his experience didn’t change further, these people began hyping themselves up. Saying Li Yao just wanted a first kill, not to level up.

However, the reality is cruel. After a while, Li Yao’s experience began to rapidly increase.

The ranking table, which refreshed every five minutes, showed Li Yao’s experience increasing rapidly every time.

“Damn it, this guy is definitely doing it on purpose.”

“No kidding, he’s obviously doing it on purpose.”

“Hunter King is too slick. He’s definitely messing with them for fun. Sometimes he stops leveling for a while, provides hope to them, then allows them to despair when they’re about to catch up. He’s simply a master manipulator.”

“What do you mean? This is to stimulate the entire server’s leveling atmosphere and drive the game update. Think about it, in the beginning, the leveling pace was slow, but because of Hunter King’s lead and giving hope, it triggered two leveling frenzies. Otherwise, I estimate the top players would still be hanging around level fifteen.”

“Those above are absolutely right. Although I’m not vying for the ranking leaderboard, in order not to fall behind, I’m also leveling desperately.”

“Same here, leveling desperately.”

Because of the changing rankings, all the channels on the server went crazy. Other than those guilds cursing at Li Yao, wishing to kill him, all those without interest conflicts basically took a wait and see approach and enjoyed the excitement. What’s more, they liked it.

The Leisure Studio, aware of Li Yao’s approximate location, was not happy about Li Yao’s leveling frenzy. They brought some people and went back to that beach.

However, there was no sight of Li Yao. Those guilds sent out a lot of people to patrol continuously, ending up empty-handed.

After working hard for three to four hours, many people began to doubt Leisure Studio. To prove their claims, they reluctantly bought Breathing Potions and searched the sea.

A few more hours and they still came up empty.

During this time, Dumb Dumb and Sister Li had already reached level nineteen and Li Yao reached level twenty by afternoon.

“Player Prairie Fire, towering above all, the first to reach level twenty. Awarding 300 Reputation towards each Faction Race, and 2 Talent Points.”

“Player Prairie Fire, towering above all, the first to reach level twenty. Awarding 300 Reputation towards each Faction Race, and 2 Talent Points.”

“Player Prairie Fire, towering above all, the first to reach level twenty. Awarding 300 Reputation towards each Faction Race, and 2 Talent Points.”

The three announcements set the server ablaze once again. However, the players weren’t shocked as Li Yao’s leveling speed was too fast.

The Leisure Studio, along with a few guilds, gave up on finding Li Yao. They gave up their plan to kill him, as they wasted half the day, didn’t find him, and also lagged behind in leveling.

Meanwhile with Li Yao, the Frogman General was becoming extremely enraged…
