Chapter 377 - The Deadly Scissor Legs

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Ouch! Could you do it softer? ... It hurts, and I think my breasts...are stuck.”

Jiaojiao wiggled her hips and Li Yi increased his force, but her predicament was only exacerbated...

“I told you to imitate how mice burrow into their holes, and this is what I get?”

“I didn’t bother to listen since you’re always fooling around.”

Jiaojiao flung her goggles away and went off to wash her face.

“Take this, you pervert!”

Jiaojiao kick came hurtling over, only for Li Yi to tilt his head to avoid it. Following that, he grabbed onto her ankle in one swift movement.

“What’re you trying to do? Don’t tell me that you’re trying to kill your fiancé.”

“Let go, damn you. Let go!”

With one leg in Li Yi’s hand, Jiaojiao had to hop around to keep her balance. The scene was reminiscent of the incident at the stairs.

Li Yi tore off Jiaojiao’s shoe and slowly began tickling her foot. Tears streamed off her face as she laughed and cried...

“Teacher Jiao, your anti-pervert skills are weak. Were I a pervert, your fate would’ve been sealed.”

“You—You *sshole! If—If you were a pervert... I would’ve squashed your brains out with my scissor legs long ago!” Refusing to admit defeat, Jiaojiao retorted while gasping for air.

“Scissor legs?”

“I’ll jump up and crush your head between my legs. If it weren’t for its destructive force and me holding back, you would never have caught me. So, let go! Stop tickling me, Brother Yi... Uwuu...”

With the soles of her feet under threat, even the tone of Jiaojiao’s voice had changed.

“Call me your lovely hubby then.”

“Over my dead body!”

Li Yi tickled with all his might.

“Fuuufuufuu, my lovely, lovely husband, I concede. Please stop, my dear husband, huuhuuhuuu...”

As Jiaojiao laughed and cried, her body finally let out, and she was unable to exert any strength.

Li Yi swiftly tugged her, and she landed right on top of him.

“You...What do you think you’re doing?”

“Break time, there’s nothing else to do. I’m going to look at you, then.”

Li Yi stared intently at Jiaojiao’s eyes, flustering her.

Li Yi clutched her cheeks, and yanked, turning her into a wide-mouthed doll.

Refusing to lose, Jiaojiao clutched onto Li Yi’s face, and pressed down onto the middle of his cheeks, forcing his face to contort into weird shapes.

“Hahahahahaha...”

Both of them burst into laughter, and after playing for a bit longer, they laid down onto the sofa together.

This time, Li Yi did not do anything cheeky. As for Jiaojiao, she quietly laid her head onto Li Yi’s chest like a kitten. With her rosy, yet small lips slightly pouted and her face flushed, she looked ravishing.

“Perverted Wing, would you abandon me in the future?”

“What makes you say that?”

“Cause all men are trash, they no longer cherish anything after they gain possession of it.”

“Don’t assume that all men are like Li Zhongtian.”

“Scram!”

“Hmph, listen up, if you ever toss me aside, I’ll definitely cut off your manhood! Heed my words!”

Jiaojiao anxiously picked up her goggles, and immediately ran into Li Yi’s bedroom, locking it.

After their break, they went back into the game together.

This time, Li Yi was no longer trolling as he directly used the Shrinking Scroll to ‘rescue’ Jiaojiao.

“So much suffering could’ve been avoided if you used it in the first place.”

“You told me to pull, so I obliged.” Li Yi objected.

“If I told you to run on the street, butt-naked, would you oblige?”

“I’ll do it if you do it too!”

“Bah!”

The narrow corridors could no longer hinder the shrunken Li Yi and Jiaojiao.

As they went on, the narrow corridor slowly widened once more.

Wailing Grotto was full of twists and turns, and its paths were all over the place. It was so big that a player once said that the grotto could house around 30,000,000 players, and even then, the players would still be unable to see each other.

It was large and its paths were complex!

In front of them were three gold-named beetle-like monsters that were blocking their path.

“Golden Scarabs. Clan Master Jiao, it appears we’re on the right track.”

“What, what?” Jiaojiao was confused.

“When traveling to the recesses of the Wailing Grotto, one would encounter Golden Scarabs. Since we’re looking at them now, it proves that we’re on the right path.”

“Hahaha, why of course. My instincts never fail me.” Jiaojiao was beaming with joy and was clearly excited.

“So, all we have to do is to defeat them to reach the deeper parts of the Wailing Grotto?” Jiaojiao brandished her Rune Greatsword and was hopping with anticipation.

“There’s still a ways to go. We’ll encounter them a few more times on the way. By my estimate, we’ll need to meet a hundred more before we can reach the recesses.”

“Say what?” Jiaojiao’s jaw hung open in shock.

“What did you think? We’re carrying out a two-man Hall of Fame Quest, and it’s an A-rank difficulty. If it were that easy to be completed, the divine weapon would’ve been found long ago.”

“Finishing the quest guarantees a divine weapon, right? I’ll give it my all for that divine weapon!”

With Lord of Disaster in hand, Jiaojiao charged ahead.

Li Yi summoned Lightning Leopard and provided support from the rear.

The Black Paladins were a powerful class, they were the amalgamation of main tanks and DPS. In other words, as long as they had the necessary equipment, Black Paladins could play both the role of DPS and main tanks.

With a huge HP pool, a high ATK stat, along with unlimited drains via ‘Mortal Strike’, a strong Black Paladin required no healing, nor support from teammates. Thus, their solo-prowess were said to be unmatched.

The Black Paladins were well balanced from all aspects, and their solo capabilities were three levels better than the Archers. The only weakness they had, was the difficulty in getting their hands on equipment.

Each of the Golden Scarabs had 1,000,000 HP and they were at Level 70, which was considered Elite-level. Their specialty lied in using ‘Tackle’ to attack, as it ignored the players’ defenses.

“These bugs are pretty good!”

After getting hit by ‘Relentless Tackle’, Jiaojiao immediately understood the situation without needing Li Yi’s guidance. She immediately shifted her position and alternated it as she fought, in order to evade the Scarabs’ Relentless Tackle.

Since Lightning Leopard was at the same level as Li Yi now, by using Li Yi’s fully leveled Beast King’s Heart while activating its hidden attribute, Lightning Leopard was able to take on 30% of its master’s equipment stats.

Lightning Leopard was very powerful and although its attack paled in comparison to its master, it was still higher than Jiaojiao’s.

Among Jiaojiao’s new equipment, only Lord of Disaster stood out. Since the Golden Scarabs were too high-leveled, a swing of her sword only dealt around 1,000 or so damage.

Pew! Pew!

[−5,643]

[−7,432]

Li Yi’s attacks were the true source of damage in the current battle.

The three of them crumpled one by one. By then, Jiaojiao was already exhausted. In contrast, Li Yi was standing still the whole time, and was in much better condition...

“The downside of playing Black Paladin is the inability to be lazy.”

“Who told you that? Wait till you’re Level 70. Once you learn Undead Hordes, you’ll finally understand the advantages of playing Black Paladin.”

Jiaojiao looted the corpses, and her luck was much better than Li Yi’s. Each of the Golden Scarabs dropped a piece of equipment, and they were all part of the rare ‘Golden Scarab Equipment Set’.

[Scarab Helmet, Scarab Armor, Scarab Boots]

“No level requirements, is it an All-class equipment set?” Jiaojiao was surprised.

Li Yi laughed out loud, “This is some good stuff, if you join a Masquerade while wearing this, you’ll get at least the third place.”

“Masquerade? Why?” Jiaojiao snorted.

“You’ll understand soon enough.”

The Happy Homes DLC had yet to be released, so there were no Masquerades yet within King of Pantheon. As such, Li Yi did not bother to explain it to Jiaojiao.

“Closed beta players and their privileges.” Jiaojiao flashed a mischievous face at Li Yi.

Li Yi chuckled, “Closed beta players have nothing on me, cause I’m a rebirth player.”

“Whatever floats your boat.” Jiaojiao did not believe his words at all.

Li Yi ignored her and took out a golden rod from his inventory. Then, he shoved it into the ground.

Beep...Beep...Beep...

The golden rod emanated a faint glow and constantly emitted a beeping sound.

“What’s this?”

“It’s an Engineering marvel called, Magical Road Sign. With this, our minimap would no longer be obscured. Try it out yourself if you doubt my words.”

Jiaojiao opened up her minimap, and just as he said, a flashing red dot appeared within the pitch-black minimap.

“I see, you put up a road sign in case we go the wrong way so that we can restart.”

“How clever of you, I’m proud to call you my woman.”

“Tch, isn’t it the other way around?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Is there a difference?”

“Umm, I don’t think so...”

The road ahead was as convoluted as before, as several hundred paths appeared every ten or so meters. Choosing the correct path was agonizing indeed.

However, both of them were blessed with good luck. After randomly selecting a path, they quickly encountered the second wave of Golden Scarabs.

Unlike the first wave, only one Golden Scarab was blocking the path this time.

“Hahaha, the heavens heeded my prayers.” Jiaojiao brandished her sword and was preparing to lunge before being stopped by Li Yi.

“What now?”

“We can’t beat this Golden Scarab.”

“And why’s that?”

“Dumb*ss, look at its name.”

Jiaojiao carefully observed and was shocked at the revelation, that the name above the Golden Scarab, was actually — Scarab King!

It had 90,000,000 HP!
