With a fire hawk watching overhead, Li Yao was like a man with satellite navigation; even if his view was impeded on the ground, the sky was unobstructed.
Moreover, the fire hawk flew exceedingly high, so the occasional trolls riding wind snakes across the sky failed to spot it.
Although wind snakes could fly, they were not particularly good at transportation. Riding a wind snake was inconvenient, and trolls only occasionally flew on them. But it did barely constitute an aerial defense system.
Of course, underestimating the combat strength of a wind snake would be a grave error.
While they were difficult to ride, wind snakes could fly extremely quickly on their own. Furthermore, as magical creatures, they can cast wind and lightning magic, making them tough opponents.
Li Yao killed six more players from the Blood Leaf Guild on the first floor, found another high point, and once more mapped out the floor. His progress increased only 1%, but he had now completely perfected the plan for the first floor.
The second floor was dozens of yards higher than the first. But because it was further inside, the defenses and guards weren’t as strict as on the first floor. Moreover, the trolls on the second floor held slightly higher positions.
Li Yao chose not to use the entranceway, he found a concealed location and proceeded directly to the second floor.
The area channel had blown up in outrage. In order to remain inconspicuous, Li Yao had been brutal in his method of killing, including targeting three female players.
The Blood Leaf Guild’s players provoked Li Yao in the area channel.
“Damn it, are you even a man?”
“Damn, it’s one thing to kill us, but to slaughter females, are you some sort of pervert?”
“Do you know, the ladies are still crying, you bastard.”
“Say your in-game ID if you dare, we won’t give up until one of us is dead.”
“Are you a man who dares to take responsibility for your actions?”
Anonymously, Li Yao commented: “A bunch of idiots blinded by lust.”
“Dare to say it without being anonymous?”
“Damn, come, I am just outside the Drywood Fortress.”
“Come and have a fair fight if you dare.”
Anonymously, Li Yao replied: “A defeated general still dares to talk about bravery?”
“You are only good at ambushing, come and fight fairly if you dare.”
“Relying on tricks means nothing.”
Anonymously, Li Yao replied: “Face-to-face, you would fare even worse. You’re too weak; if I can ambush and kill you, I can only label you as hopeless.”
“Damn you! You utter scumbag…”
“You’re such a jerk, if I find out your game ID, I swear I will kill you!”
“Want to kill me? Come to the fortress.” Li Yao anonymously said, “Your attempts to provoke me are useless.”
Blood Mist Wind couldn’t help but say, “Man, you went too far.”
“I went too far? You guys can’t even kill me,” Li Yao responded anonymously. “Also, your reason is laughable. Surely, women can’t be killed? That’s an insult to women, there are a lot of female experts now, do you think they reached their standing by everyone stepping aside for them?”
“Enough, everyone stop,” Blood Mist Wind admonished, his face increasingly darker.
“I’ve been more than fair. If I posted these conversations on the forum, your Blood Leaf Guild would gain even more infamy,” Li Yao said anonymously.
“Talk with your abilities,” Blood Mist Wind sighed. This guy couldn’t care less about being provoked by so many people. They still couldn’t figure him out.
“That’s more like it. Stop playing these dirty tricks, they are pointless. Get ready, I am going hunting again,” Li Yao announced anonymously.
“Just so you know, our guild dispatched 240 of our best. Let’s see if you can kill them all. The moment you fail, you’re dead,” Blood Mist Wind said.
“Hmm, over two hundred?” Li Yao paused, before typing: “It’s challenging, but I will try my best.”
“I’m waiting to see who finishes their task first,” After saying that, Blood Mist Wind posted in the guild channel: “Beware everyone, as you all can see, he doesn’t take us seriously at all, but that’s good, the more he underestimates us, the more errors he makes. Everyone, stay alert.”
“Guild leader, you can count on us. We will find this bastard.”
“Too bloody irritating. I can’t stand it.”
“He must be on the second floor now. Be alert, those on the second floor. Kill this bastard.”
“Exactly, when has our Blood Leaf Guild ever accepted such humiliation?”
Li Yao had already reached the second floor. Casting a slight frown, he saw another female troll and notably a Blood Leaf player.
As society developed, women held significant power, and it was no bluff. There had been more than one female leader, and there was no shortage of women in high-ranking positions of power.
In the game world, protection was mutual between males and females. As long as no one was forced, both genders could be legally punished for sexual harassment.
As for routine skirmishes, they were all the same, male or female. Rhetoric such as women needing protection from men, as proposed by the Blood Leaf Guild, was rarely heard anymore.
Li Yao had no intention of backing down. The female troll in the distance was very cautious and clearly a skilled player. Moreover, she had positioned herself well in an open area. If Li Yao were to attack recklessly, he would surely expose himself.
Li Yao pulled out the Flame Crossbow. After pondering a moment, he fired an arrow at a distant stone wall.
Ding…
Following a clash, the steel arrow ricocheted off the wall and onto a stone column.
The player disguised as a female troll became even more alert at the sound. But just as she turned her head, her eyes widened in shock.
The steel arrow was now inches from her face, and before she could react, it pierced her throat.
The female troll made a hum-like sound filled with regret and collapsed on the ground.
Li Yao put the crossbow away, turned immaterial, and leaped onto a tree just as the alerted trolls arrived.
This time, the trolls were even more cautious, they thoroughly searched the area before reluctantly dispersing with the body.
Li Yao once again climbed a stone column to draw a map of the second floor’s defenses.
He then continued his hunt, climbing to higher floors and charting their plans, while the atmosphere in the Blood Leaf Guild was oppressive due to the occasional message of a member killed by Li Yao in a single strike, with no chance to fight back.
Compared to the first floor, where they could at least see Li Yao, the rest was worse, as players were killed without even spotting their attacker.
At first, the guild members who swore to kill Li Yao fell silent. They were all elites and thus had their pride.
However, if Li Yao could kill one or two of them, it could be chalked up to luck. But by now, he had killed more than fifty members, and no matter how careful they were, they were ambushed and killed in an instant. There was no way to defend against him.
Among the fifty who were killed, several were top-ranking experts who suffered the same fate and were killed instantly.
“This guy is a monster.”
“How is he doing this?”
“Guild leader, what should we do? At this rate, we are going to fail our mission.”
“He is only one person, why is he so hard to deal with?”
The Blood Leaf Guild was on the verge of collapse…
