The Orc camp was traditionally made up of large leather tents, with wooden fences for defense, embodying raw simplicity.
However, this camp was particularly bustling, full of various team recruiting calls.
Li Yao’s cloak hid the effects of his equipment, and with a longbow slung on his back.
As a result, he managed to leave the camp without being invited into any teams. The status of a Hunter was indeed bleak.
Only very few teams had Hunters in their ranks.
And Hunters often advertise for teams like this: “Beast King Hunt, bring a Bear pet, need a Damage Hunter.”
“Survival Hunter, good at various trap setups, need a Tank pet Beast King Hunter.”
The trees in the Dark Grey Valley are incredibly vast, truly towering into the clouds.
Li Yao could only find his way using landmarks and a mini-map. In less populated areas, he simply called upon the Death God 4000.
The climate in the Dark Grey Valley was incredibly humid, without a breath of wind.
After spending a while there, Li Yao couldn’t stand it and straightaway sat on the shoulder of the Death God 4000.
Click, click, click…
The quiet roads echoed with the clicking sound of the Death God 4000 walking.
“Big bro, we have a mission for a reward skill book, it’s a Class-specific skill, wanna come?” Dumbfounded TongTong excitedly texted Li Yao privately.
“Well, I’m in the West Continent, I can’t make the trip,” said Li Yao helplessly. The reward being a Class-specific skill, even he was tempted.
You can only learn basic skills from mentors, and many special skills can’t even be found in the auction house, so it’s extremely difficult to learn them. TongTong has some serious luck to get this mission handed out to her.
“That so, ahhh, but this mission only lasts one day, why don’t you come back and do this mission together,” said Dumbfounded TongTong. “My team is all beauties, you know, I didn’t even bring a bodyguard to protect this sleazy guy.”
“Kids will be kids, what do you know,” Li Yao exasperatingly responded: “I’m halfway to my destination, I’m also on a mission and can’t leave it, you guys go ahead.”
“Hmph, forget it then, no big loss,” Dumbfounded TongTong huffed as she disconnected the chat.
Li Yao shook his head, his curiosity towards the Crystal Sphere became his overriding concern, everything else fell by the wayside, even his vengeance on the three major guilds was put on hold.
Moreover, he was still unsure about his hypothesis, otherwise he would’ve brought the elder team with him.
If there were any gains, that would be fine, but if he had guessed wrong, it would certainly be a huge embarrassment, hence his lone journey.
“Hey, I was speaking to you.” A female player, quite irritated, blocked Death God 4000.
Li Yao was startled, realizing she was from the same faction and also a High Elf, he said, “Sorry. I was chatting privately, didn’t notice. What’s the matter?”
The female player was a summoner named Little Elves. She glared at Li Yao and said, “My brother spoke to you several times and you didn’t reply, that’s really rude.”
At that moment, an Orc shaman at the side said apologetically, “Sorry, my sister is a bit spoiled. I asked if you’d like to join us. We lost a teammate and noticed you were alone, so we thought of asking.”
Behind the Orc shaman, Razorclaw Scratchless, there was a warrior with a shield and a thief.
“I’m a Hunter,” Li Yao shook his head.
“What’s wrong with being a Hunter? You’re also a Hunter, you despise yourself or what?” Little Elves scornfully said.
“Err, sorry, I don’t team,” Li Yao declared plainly.
“You may not be aware, brother, but this section of the road is full of players of the Light Faction. It’s very dangerous if you don’t join a team. Please be careful,” said Razorclaw Scratchless.
“Thanks for the warning,” Li Yao bowed slightly. This reaction was decent, no anger at his rejection, instead he cautioned him, “Till we meet again.”
“So arrogant!” Little Elves made a face at Li Yao.
Li Yao shook his head and resumed his journey.
“Let’s go, follow up,” Razorclaw Scratchless said as Li Yao’s figure began to blur in the distance.
“He didn’t want to join our team, why are we following him?” Little Elves argued.
“He isn’t familiar with the place, and there are too many solo mission thieves here. Let’s follow and help him if he encounters any trouble. After all, we are heading in the same direction; it won’t delay our mission.”
“Claw Markless took the lead to slowly follow Li Yao. Li Yao naturally noticed, but he didn’t give it much thought.
As long as they had no hostility, it was a matter of indifference. This road was not his own after all.
“We’re already in the chaos zone,” whispered the pet little elf.
“This is a critical path, there must be thieves lying in ambush. We should be ready to rush over to help him at any time,” Claw Markless suggested.
“Bro, you are just too kind-hearted. He might not even appreciate it,” the pet little elf was saying, suddenly it exclaimed, “I knew it, he’s been stunned by the thieves, we cannot get there in time.”
“Then let’s resurrect him,” Claw Markless said already beginning to run.
However, the development of the situation was completely beyond their expectations.
After stunning Li Yao, the thief revealed his figure. Surprisingly, a Death God 4000 appeared on the shoulder of a thief.
The dagger in his hand stabbed ferociously towards the side of the dazzled Li Yao’s head.
Li Yao instantly used the Dark Badge and relieved his dizziness.
Back jump!
As Li Yao’s body flew backwards, a red light emanated from him.
Power of the Wild Bull!
Powerful Throw!
Powerful Throw was a basic skill Li Yao had learned.
The thief did not expect Li Yao to suddenly relieve his dizziness. The strength in the thief’s hand was too great, and the dagger missed, causing the thief to lean forward.
Meanwhile, Li Yao’s short spear was already thrown.
Thud…
The thief attempting to dodge Death God 4000 was suddenly hit by the short spear on his chest.
With such a close distance, the original power of the short spear was great, adding the multiplied strength of the Power of the Wild Bull, the thief was immediately sent flying by the spear.
Boom…
The tip of the short spear was nailed to a big tree not far away, and the thief – who had lost all his life already during the hit – had his body nailed to the tree.
When Li Yao threw the spear, he used Magic Spider Silk and was reeled back onto Death God 4000.
And Death God 4000 did not stop at all, continuing to go forward at a steady pace.
“Fucking poor, still comes out to rob,” Li Yao glanced at the green equipment dropped by the thief upon his death. He wasn’t even interested in picking it up, simply moving on.
“Damn, a master,” the pet little elf couldn’t help but swear.
“It seems I was overly concerned,” Claw Markless said with a bitter smile.
“That’s so cool, oh my gosh, I can’t believe I didn’t maintain my ladylike image just now,” the pet little elf was suddenly frustrated.
“Idiot.” Shield Warrior muttered.
The thief picked up the piece of green equipment, saying, “Too wasteful. He’s even discarding level 10 green equipment.”
“Humph, what kind of master would deign to use green equipment?” The pet little elf said disdainfully.
“Who was it just now fussing over a piece of green equipment and practically chased Fatty away,” Claw Markless mentioned.
“That was cloth armor, he’s a warrior, what does he need cloth armor for? He just wanted to hog the equipment. Let him roll, don’t interact with him in the future, what a person,” the pet little elf said nonchalantly.
“You dare to take the equipment of the Assassin Alliance, seeking death!”
A cold voice came.
Claw Markless’s face changed, “Prepare to fight, we might be surrounded.”…
