Chapter 253 - Earth-Shattering Bull

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With two pale white thighs leaping and a jade-like butt dancing about, it was an amazing sight to behold.

However, after looking on for quite some time, Li Yi lost interest. With the way Autumn Love was fighting, there was no chance of her defeating the Earth-shattering Bull.

As long as Earth-shattering Bull would not be defeated, Li Yi was content. He did not even bother ambushing her.

‘Time to continue collecting the Seeds of Holy Light!’

Li Yi walked off, leaving Autumn Love alone to do her own thing. Her willpower was amazing, but unfortunately, without the support of her equipment, no matter how skilled her technical prowess was, it was impossible for her to defeat the Earth-shattering Bull and its ten thousand DEF.

After ten more minutes, Autumn Love was finally hit by the Earth-shattering Bull’s shockwave, dropping dead onto the ground.

...

Li Yi had been wandering around the area the Earth-shattering Bull was in. In order to lure out the Lightning Leopard, the Earth-shattering Bull must not die!

The extremely patient Archer’s strategy at the end was extremely interesting. Over the course of one whole year, he had killed countless Blazing Apes and attained eight mounts. Only in his second year did he notice a pattern. If he had just left the Blazing Apes alone till they disappeared, there was a high chance that the next creature would spawn. If he also did not kill the next creature, there would be an even higher chance that another creature would spawn. By logical induction, when the fourth Water-element Turtle elite appeared, killing it would lead to a higher chance that a Lightning Leopard would spawn.

The five rare elites went in the order of Blazing Ape, Hurricane Tiger, Earth-shattering Bull, Water-element Turtle, and Lightning Leopard. Once the Earth-shattering Bull appeared, as long as the player did not kill it, there was a high chance that it would disappear and have a Water-element Turtle spawn.

Of course, it was not a guarantee. A higher chance did not mean that it would happen for sure. In fact, all five of the rare elites have a chance of being spawned. There was even a possibility that a Lightning Leopard would spawn immediately after a Blazing Ape. From what the patient Archer had concluded from his experiences, it was only to increase that chance, it was still not a 100% guarantee.

The Silver Moon Canyon’s rare elites would respawn every two days, whether the previous rare elite was killed or not, when the next elite appears, the previous one would automatically disappear.

Just as Li Yi was merrily collecting the Seeds of Holy Light, Autumn Love once again got back to her feet. She continued her attack on the Earth-shattering Bull...

Without the support of her equipment, she would not have enough WIL to recover her MP. Without MP, an Ice-type Wizard could not unleash their full potential at all. After attempting and failing a few more times, she realized that she could never defeat the Earth-shattering Bull whilst being butt naked.

As Autumn Love dropped to the ground once more, one of her equipment dropped. Luckily for her, the Earth-shattering Bull did not have any interest in a player’s equipment. It acted as if nothing happened and continued to eat grass while mooing.

Once Autumn Love revived, she picked up her equipment and used a Return City Stone to leave the area.

...

Li Yi was collecting all the Seeds of Holy Light he could find. After half a day, he had collected a total of 976 seeds.

“Motherf*cker, I’m only halfway done.” Li Yi cursed out loud.

He could still stomach grinding a dungeon over and over, but doing such a cringe-inducingly menial and unchallenging task was something he could not stand. He could not understand, what was the difference between collecting one seed and two thousand seeds?

‘Son of a b*tch devs!’

Li Yi scolded as he continued to collect them, staying within the Earth-shattering Bull’s vicinity. He still had to camp this big fellow, he could not let other players kill it.

After one entire night had passed, Li Yi finally finished collecting 2000 Seeds of Holy Light. Just as he wanted to go back and complete the quest, Autumn Love returned on her Blazing Ape.

This lady was strong-willed. After going back to repair her equipment and restocking her potions, she rushed straight back to this place.

‘Looks like she won’t rest till she manages to kill off the Earth-shattering Bull.’

Li Yi helplessly hid in a corner and watched on.

Being fully equipped made a huge difference to everything. With a plain Frost Bolt from Autumn Love, she dealt around 3000 damage to the Earth-shattering Bull. The Ice-type Wizards terrifying damaging potential was displayed here. The Earth-shattering Bull’s HP dropped rapidly. At this rate, it would be dead in about three to five hours.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Li Yi finally took action. Taking the opportunity when Autumn Love’s HP was halved, he used a Chain Arrow and Eliminate combo, insta-killing her.

‘For the sake of the Lightning Leopard, even if you have a pair of gorgeous legs, you still have to drop dead!’

Autumn Love lay dead on the ground, staying motionless for a long time...

System Notification: [You successfully killed a player of an enemy camp. You gained 1 point of Honor Value.]

Living players could not see a dead player’s soul, but a dead player’s soul could still see living players. Thus, immediately after Li Yi killed Autumn Love, he used Camouflage and disappeared.

Once Autumn Love corpse ran back, she patiently scanned her surroundings. However, she naturally could not find anyone...

Autumn Love did not revive, her soul remained nearby her corpse. She was patiently waiting. She was sure that the reason the enemy ambushed her was none other than to steal her boss.

Unfortunately, she was wrong...

If she knew that the only reason Li Yi killed her off was to ensure that the Earth-shattering Bull survives, she would surely flip out.

As time passed by, Li Yi and Autumn Love were stood in their respective corners, waiting for each other to make their move...

With that, five hours passed with nothing happening. The Earth-shattering Bull roared out loud and started to move its hooves, before turning into a ray of gold and disappearing.

Autumn Love was utterly shocked.

‘The guy who ambushed me left?’

Autumn Love suspiciously revived. This time, she did not get ambushed.

“How unlucky...” Autumn Love let out a long sigh.

Ding!

Just as Li Yi chugged down his next Invisibility Potion in preparation for hunting the new rare elite that spawned, his inbox notification suddenly rang. To his surprise, he received a message from Autumn Love.

“Is your staff still on sale? Can you delay it for half a month more?”

Li Yi answered, “It’s still here, I can even delay it for one month.”

“Thank you, my luck recently has been quite bad. Even after grinding it for so many times, the item still hasn’t dropped. Sigh, I even got ambushed earlier. In the end, the boss that I had been luring out for more than half a month is now gone.”

“Then I wish you luck. It’s fine, the staff isn’t something I’m urgently trying to sell off. No worries.” At this point, Li Yi did not know what kind of face he should make when talking to Autumn Love.

“The guy who ambushed me seemed to be someone from your Eastern Continent. He was the same as you, an Archer. Sigh, I’m such a failure, I even got insta-killed so quick that I couldn’t even manage to see who killed me.”

Speaking with a chick that he just wrecked a bit earlier, Li Yi could not help but feel slightly guilty. However, in his eyes, it was no big deal. The two were originally from different camps anyways. The only relationship they had prior to this was the trade deal, they could not even be considered friends at that point.

“Err, how should I put this. Hearing you say that jogged up my memories a bit. I seemed to have just killed a female Human Wizard with a sexy figure just a little bit earlier...” Li Yi was quite shameless as he straight up broached the subject.

Autumn Love’s body trembled, she stayed silent for a long while.

Li Yi’s hints were something not a single person in this world could possibly see through. The reason was simple. Autumn Love did not have her name displayed on top of her head, the only reason Li Yi recognized her was because of his memories of his past life. How would anyone be able to see through this type of cryptic statement?

Autumn Love cautiously asked, “Where did you kill that bod... female Human Archer?”

“At the Silver Moon Canyon.”

“Ahh——” Autumn Love could have guessed it already, but hearing it straight from the horse’s mouth, she could not help but let out a loud scream.

“So, you killed me earlier?” Autumn Love did not even bother sending Li Yi a mail. She directly sent Li Yi a voice message.

“Cough, I think so...”

“...” Autumn Love fell silent.

“No wonder I couldn’t find a single trace of who killed me, it was you... Well, that’s no longer a mystery. I also can’t blame you, you couldn’t have known it was me either way... What horrible luck, the boss was just wasted.” Autumn Love was extremely frustrated.

“What’re you doing here?”

“I’m doing a quest.”

“Oh~

“Can you show your face for a bit? I’ve been searching for you for hours but I still couldn’t find you.”

Li Yi revealed himself, smiling at Autumn Love.

The two of them kept on staring at each other, not saying a word.

“So, what a way to make a new acquaintance huh?” Autumn Love chuckled.

“I guess so.”

“Mm, alright. Give me one more month for the staff, I’ll definitely get an item of a similar caliber to trade for it.”

Li Yi asked, “Are you talking about the Earth-shattering Bow that the Earth-shattering Bull drops?”

“How did you know?” Autumn Love was stunned.

“The walkthrough on the official site.”

“How’s it? Is that bow worth trading your staff for?” Autumn Love got a bit anxious.

“Well, I guess it’s fine, but...” Li Yi shook his head, not continuing his sentence.

“But what?” Autumn Love was even more worried.

“According to the official site, the Earth-shattering Bow’s drop rate was a mere 3%. Even if you could kill the Earth-shattering Bull, the bow might not drop.”

“Well, I know that, but I have confidence in my luck.” Autumn Love grinned at Li Yi, her face filled with confidence.

“Oh right, didn’t you kill me earlier to steal the boss?” Autumn Love suddenly remembered.

Li Yi frowned. He had guessed earlier that Autumn Love would ask him that, but he was not sure whether he should tell her the truth or not. He was still undecided on that.

“Bam! Bam!”

It was at this time, a pale blue giant turtle surfaced from the lake. With its mouth faced to the sky, it squirted out a jet of water, causing it to rain on Li Yi and Autumn Love.

The two’s clothes were completely drenched. Before Li Yi even moved an inch, Autumn Love had already charged directly towards the gigantic turtle firing her Frost Bolt.

“Water-element Turtle! This boss is mine, don’t you steal it from me again, you hear!” Autumn Love loudly shouted, instantly causing Li Yi to flinch.

If he had not had the conversation with her earlier, looking at Autumn Love attacking the Water-element Turtle, Li Yi would ambush her again without any hesitation. However, with what happened earlier, even Li Yi would feel embarrassed if he attacked her now...

This little chick was still quite honorable. Not only did she not ask Li Yi for help, she even called it out earlier, causing Li Yi to feel awkward if he stole her boss at this point.

“Hehe, you already stole one of mine earlier. You wouldn’t steal another one from me, am I right? Guild Master Dark Wing?”

Autumn Love winked at Li Yi. She looked quite prideful as she Blinked in front of the Water-element Turtle and used Frost Rising Star to Freeze it. She then took a few steps back and started casting Blizzard.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

“I’ll help you, I’m afraid you can’t handle it alone.” Li Yi shamelessly took action.

“Cough cough, thank you, but I think I’m fine alone. Guild Master Dark Wing can just sit back and enjoy the show. I believe that you definitely won’t steal this weak little girl’s prey.”

‘Weak little girl...’

A drip of cold sweat dripped down from Li Yi’s forehead. This little chick sure had a way with words. She completely blocked him off with that one line.

‘What to do? Just sit back and relax while this happens? How can that be possible? Even though based on Autumn Love’s potential, the Water-element Turtle wasn’t a threat at all, but the problem is that killing this rare elite would trigger a Hall of Fame event.

‘Am I gonna waste one Hall of Fame event just because this little chick said so? There’s no way I’d do that!’
