Chapter 504: Two Tigers
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[Player Dark Wing has shattered the phantasm of zombie Yuge. He has successfully entered the depths of the tomb, and will receive an additional 5 Skill Points as a reward!]
When Li Yi decreased zombie Yuge’s HP to 90%, zombie Yuge has turned to run away.
Little Elf from the Magical Realm was the first to enter the depths of the tomb, followed by the mysterious player Ouyang Qian in second place while Li Yi himself made it in third place!
In the ancient and serene passage that has yellow hued square tiles that lined the ground, zombie Yuge ran. Occasionally, it would let out a few growls.
System Notification: [Reduce 10% of zombie Yuge’s HP in 2 hours!]
Li Yi grabbed his bow and chased zombie Yuge.
The tomb’s passageway has many bends and curves. Sometimes, the ground would crack, while other times the top of the passageway would drop some stones. On top of that, countless zombie monsterlings blocked the way, making the chase extremely difficult.
After running for a certain distance, zombie Yuge would stop and wait before running away again after it took several hits from the player. Players were also allowed to attack it when it was running.
It was still a fixed damage value of 2000 for every hit!
The zombie monsterlings that spawned along the way were not tall. They were most annoying when they appeared in dozens because they could easily block the passageway. Li Yi’s solution to this problem was to attack them whenever possible, and if it was not practical to do so, he would run backward for a while and wait for the zombie monsterlings to form a straight line. Only then would he barge his way forward using the Rocket Propellant.
After a long way of chasing and attacking, zombie Yuge finally ended up in a dead end.
There was no way forward. This was the end of the tomb, and the scene was surprisingly set at the laboratory where Yuge would do his experiments in.
The bottles and jars were still there when zombie Yuge stumbled its way in. Then, it proceeded to grab random bottles and jars to chug them down its throat.
Zombie Yuge was merely an empty flesh. Even though it has a self-consciousness, but they were limited to physical responses. Due to that, it would escape in a panic despite possessing godlike-powers in its body.
Zombie Yuge did not retaliate. Instead, it acted like a mindless fly that would run away the best it could and would not stop eating random things.
It did not cost Li Yi much effort to get rid of it.
The medications did not cause Yuge to become stronger. Instead, it was Bleeding at a faster rate.
“Ah... Ah... Ah...”
Zombie Yuge’s HP has dropped to 80% before it finally drank a bottle of medicine that was actually useful. Its body quickly expanded and has transformed from a tattered and broken zombie to a 30-meters-tall black giant.
All of the muscles in its body bulged together. Zombie Yuge was now an entirely different person than how it looked before.
Wham! Wham! Wham!
The Mutated Yuge clutched his own fists to forcefully slam against the ground. It only took three slams for a large hole to appear, and it proceeded to jump into the hole...
The second stage was over! The time limit was removed, and it was safe for now.
However, in contrast to the first stage, there was no System Notification that appeared this time. Naturally, there will be no additional rewards in this stage.
Instead of jumping down to continue the pursuit immediately, Li Yi has approached the pile of bottles and jars.
It was against the norm to have no rewards at all when the second stage has been successfully cleared. Since the System did not automatically give the players the reward, there was only one other possibility left – the players would need to seek for it themselves.
After searching around the bottle and jars for a while, a ping from the System Notification was heard.
Ding!
[Congratulations, you have obtained 1x Invincibility Potion.]
After consuming the Invincibility Potion, the player would experience a 20-second Invincibility Mode. This was one of the most powerful potions in the King of Pantheons, and only Legendary Apothecary Masters could brew this potion.
The reward was an average one, but it was certainly better than nothing at all. Li Yi finally nodded in satisfaction and finally leaped down the huge hole that Mutated Yuge has punched through...
The surroundings were pitch black as he fell. After approximately 20 seconds, his fall started to slow down. Li Yi has finally landed steadily on the ground.
“Roar! Roar!”
Mutated Yuge stood far away, roaring incessantly. Behind it was two NPCs that were both tied onto a pole. It certainly was Great Lord Moigne and Shirui the Dark Pope.
This was the scene of the final battle.
Thwack!
Li Yi tried to shoot at Mutated Yuge with an arrow. A damage value of [-7864] appeared.
The damage value has finally returned to normal and was no longer fixed in stone.
“Roar!”
Mutated Yuge jumped to an impressive height and slammed down at Li Yi with both of its fists.
[-32145]
Li Yi crumpled to the ground immediately...
Mutated Yuge ran back in glee. Li Yi activated the Light Talisman to stand up from the ground once more.
The NPCs have gifted them with two Light Talisman that he has yet to use until now. After exhausting one of them, he still had another Light Talisman in his hand.
After using the Light Talisman, the Dark Honor status on him upgraded in kind. The resurrection rate of 5% has now increased to become 10%.
Li Yi frowned before turning into the Lightning Leopard with a shake of his body. He immediately used Stealth in an attempt to circle around Mutated Yuge to approach the cylindrical pillar that Moigne and Shirui were tied to.
The Mutated Yuge has too high of a damage value and speed that directly attacking it would be a reckless thing to do. Li Yi’s idea was to go forward and converse with Moigne and Shirui. After all, those Bosses that seemed invincible would always expose their fatal flaw after a few words with the NPC.
Li Yi had never expected this plan of his to fail too.
Before he could finish taking his third step in Stealth Mode, Mutated Yuge has sensed his presence. It charged at him with lightning speed and forcefully slammed him with its two fists. Li Yi found himself to be lying on the floor again...
This time, Li Yi has laid on the floor for a very long time to wait for Mutated Yuge to turn its head around. When that happened, he took the opportunity to resurrect himself and retreated to his original position.
He had now exhausted both of his Light Talismans. Even though the probability of resurrection of the Dark Honor has increased by 20%, Li Yi no longer had the courage to test his ideas recklessly.
It would be an absolute tragedy if he were to die for the third time and had failed to trigger the Dark Honor to resurrect himself. He did not have a third Light Talisman on hand to revive himself.
Just when Li Yi was frowning and contemplating how to attack, a person dropped down from the sky. The person was wearing blue clothing that fluttered with the wind and has a Cresent Flute in hand. It was the Little Elf from the Magical Realm.
Did the Mirror Dimension disappear already?
Li Yi was taken aback. Similarly, Little Elf from the Magical Realm also took a double take when she saw him.
Li Yi turned to look at Mutated Yuge. Only then did realization hit him like a truck.
The Mirror Dimension was gone after they had cleared the previous two stages. Following this, all players that have successfully passed the stages would arrive here and work together to kill the Mutated Yuge.
“Ah!”
Li Yi could not help but hit his own palm when he realized that he has wasted two Light Talismans for nothing.
“What’s going on? Are we no longer in the Mirror Dimension anymore?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm walked towards him.
Li Yi gazed at the Mutated Yuge helplessly. He kept on shaking his head and muttered, “Initially, I thought we’re still in the Mirror Dimension. That belief has continued until I was shot by an arrow in the knee twice...”
Little Elf from the Magical Realm studied him for a moment and quickly picked up on the situation. She asked, “We’re forming a party for the fight now, right?”
“Mhmm.”
“Can’t we solo this?”
“That thing has an attack power of 30,000. I don’t know if you can handle it, but I know I had failed to withstand its blow. Feel free to try though, there’s a chance that you might actually make it.”
Little Elf from the Magical Realm chuckled. “If you failed, there’s no doubt that I will not even stand a chance against that. Let’s wait for the rest of the battalion.”
Li Yi nodded. “That’s the only thing we could do.”
Then, he got closer to her and said, “Director Yang.”
“Call me Sister!” Little Elf of the Magical Realm chided. 1
Li Yi giggled and reached out to tug at the end of her hair and tickled her face with it. “Do you want to try doing that in-game?”
“What are you talking about? That?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm flushed bright red.
“Come here, let me teach you.”
Li Yi held onto the hands of Little Elf from the Magical Realm and sat on the ground.
“Two tigers, two tigers, fall in love, fall in love, both of them are males though, how perverted, how perverted...” 2
“What even was that?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm was so shell-shocked that her jaw fell open.
“It’s a song! I’ve just learned it.”
“Ah, a song. I thought...”
“What did you think?”
“Nothing.”
“Haha, you must’ve thought of something wicked.”
“No, I didn’t! You’re the one that has thought so!” Little Elf from the Magical Realm insisted.
Li Yi quickly changed the topic by pulling Little Elf from the Magical Realm into his arms. “Ahem, did Momo ask for new toys recently?”
“No!”
“You should not lie.”
“Yes, she did.”
“What toys did she want?”
“I won’t tell you!” 3
“Hahahaha...”
Just when Li Yi and Little Elf from the Magical Realm were warming up with each other on the ground, two other players fell out from the sky.
One of them had flowing red hair and was extraordinarily gorgeous. She was Li Yi’s lover in his past life, Lin Qian.
Another one wore a black robe and had long hair. Even though she looked feeble and weak, she was Sister Windcloud Nine, the wife of Brother Windcloud Nine.
Both of them has passed the second stage of the test almost at the same time. This was why they had arrived together.
“You hooligan!”
“Such lewd behavior!”
Both Lin Qian and Sister Windcloud Nine had immediately blurted their opinions when they saw how Li Yi and Little Elf from the Magical Realm was being inappropriately intimate with each other.
Li Yi was stunned for a while before he stood up and bemoaned at himself. It was really a bad choice to be a player. See, his true nature was already exposed to his target even before he could start his pursuit.
Ouyang Qian, that player who was the second one that entered the depths of the tomb, was actually Qian’er...
It seemed that many things have changed in this present life.
Li Yi was speechless for a long while.
“Take that back! What hooligan, what lewdness, are you talking about yourself? What’s wrong with our behavior if it was consensual? You have no right to talk to me like that!”
Before Li Yi could open his mouth to speak, Little Elf from the Magical Realm had already spoken. She was a strong and successful woman, and she would not have achieved such heights in her business if she did not have some skills of her own.
After they heard Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s chiding, Sister Windcloud Nine almost instinctively hid behind Ouyang Qian. She still did that despite she still had no idea who Qian’er was.
Qian’er bowed respectfully at Little Elf from the Magical Realm. “It was my mistake, I’m sorry, I apologize. Is that good enough?”
I’m s-s-sorry too...” Sister Windcloud Nine stretched out her arms fearfully and waved.
They would never have said those words if they had not seen Li Yi.
Little Elf from the Magical Realm snorted coldly and ignored both of them.
The atmosphere was awkward, and Li Yi had no idea if he should laugh or cry. He walked towards the group in an attempt to neutralize the tension.
“Aha, so you’re Ouyang Qian. Do you still remember me?”
“Don’t come here, don’t come here!”
Before Qian’er could do anything, Sister Windcloud Nine was already freaking out. She turned to escape foolishly and had run face first into the arms of Mutated Yuge...
Wham!
Mutated Yuge gave her a punch, and Sister Windcloud Nine’s beauty no longer existed in this world...
“Please, I beg of you. Can you stop being so frightened whenever you see me? The thought of killing you didn’t even cross my mind.”
Li Yi was entirely defeated by Sister Windcloud Nine.
At this time, Sister Windcloud Nine has resurrected herself using Light Talisman. After she stood up, Mutated Yuge noticed her movements and pounced at her. She collapsed once again...
Li Yi felt a headache growing. “Only resurrect yourself when you’ve seen that it had turned away from you. If you continued with whatever you’re doing and managed to stand up and survive the run back to us, you’ll redirect the Aggro to the rest of us too!”
How did she even pass the first and second stage with that set of skills?
Sister Windcloud Nine lied one the floor and no longer stood up. After a while, she started sobbing.
Li Yi felt helpless. “What’s up with you again? If you no longer have the talisman to resurrect yourself, release your soul and get out of here. No one can save you if you continue to lie here anyways.”
Sister Windcloud Nine continued to sniffle for a long while before she could squeeze out a sentence. “I have the talisman, boohoohoo... Don’t scold me...”
Li Yi was stunned for a good three seconds before turning in circles in search for a wall. He really wanted to run into a wall and promptly die...
