MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter-Chapter 518 - : 518

Chapter 518: 518

Li Yao thought about it and then said, “Let me put it this way, we just killed the High Priest. Even if the god of nightmares has omnipotent powers, it’s impossible for him to recover all his strength in such a short time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to continue in this instance.”

Unparalleled Wicked Fairy added her thoughts, “Hmm, even if we have to fight his spirit, it would probably be weaker. But it’s hard to say right now. Looking at the situation, if we kill this so-called chieftain, we should consider our pioneering work done, and the first kill is probably out of our hands now.”

Feng Yi nodded in agreement, saying, “After all, this instance is a trial for the group. The pioneering work has been ongoing for so many days. With too many bosses, the pioneering work could last for more than a month and we are not certain we could defeat them. Three is almost enough, and the instance is already hard enough.”

Those who didn’t log off all nodded their heads. The pioneering work in this instance had gone on for too long.

Back in the day, their pioneering work on a level 10 instance was done in less than one night.

This instance has gone on for much longer, even for them.

The Starfire team managed to make the pioneering work lighter thanks to the resourcefulness of Li Yao. It would probably be much more difficult for other teams who had to bear much more hardship.

After all, the Starfire team has been quite lucky all along. They were motivated by spoils of war and the excitement of the first kill. Other teams had to endure much longer days of torment just to get past the six watchtowers, only to be beaten up by bosses every now and then.

Such suffering was simply too unbearable. One just had to think back to the second boss that nearly destroyed their team for an idea of how it felt.

Despite all this, Li Yao could still feel the fatigue of the Starfire team members. He didn’t even need to mention how the other teams had it even worse.

The authorities surely wouldn’t overlook this. They couldn’t possibly have packed the level 20 trials with so many bosses.

“Ugh, it’s so boring. I’ll take a short nap for an hour, the sun here is so warm.” A mellow child leaned on Li Yao’s shoulder, saying lazily.

“Hmm, sleep then. Remember to turn off the group chat on Island, otherwise, you will be disturbed.” said Li Yao.

The sunlight here was warm, Li Yao could feel the urge to sleep. However, he couldn’t let himself do so. He was the type that would be tired out if he didn’t get enough sleep. That’s why he never napped.

Furthermore, he had to direct the team. He had to keep his spirits up. Now that the people of Starfire were tired, other teams were even more exhausted.

This was the pioneering process. Li Yao couldn’t just order a day’s rest after they overcame one boss.

“Li Sister is handling guild affairs again, she looks really tired.” Feng Yi said.

Li Yao nodded his head, acknowledging, “I understand. However, she wants to pioneer, so all we need to do is to progress quickly.”

“I just got news that the Devil Alliance has already reduced the first boss’s health to 30%. A few other guilds were able to bring the first boss’s health to the halfway mark. I guess this boss won’t trouble them for more than two days,” reported Feng Yi.

“It doesn’t matter. Let them pass if they can. The chances of them catching up to us are virtually nonexistent,” said Li Yao, thinking of how much time the other teams would have to spend gathering Crystal Cores.

“Are you planning on selling the second boss’s video clip too?” asked Unparalleled Wicked Fairy.

Li Yao nodded and explained, “I love nothing more than using the enemy’s money to arm ourselves. Although we already have enough money for now, no one ever said they had too much money. I’m planning to remodel and improve our club base. Once the renovation is done, guild members can gather there. We have to establish our team as soon as possible since they will start the pre-match warm-ups along with the level increase.”

“Do you have inside information?” asked Unparalleled Wicked Fairy.

“No, but think about it. Challenge instances, team instances, arenas and such, they have all been rolled out. It’s highly likely that small-scale battlefields will be introduced soon too. This would be like a touchstone for team members to practice their collaboration. After all, fighting in a team and having a player kill are two different things,” said Li Yao, choosing not to say that a small-scale battlefield would emerge soon after the team instance was completed.

Following the battlefield craze would be the warm-up matches in the arena. These were trail games set up by the Ancient Officials.

Starfire can’t afford to slack on team collaboration, other teams won’t waste this opportunity, and they will definitely be at a disadvantage in the end if they are not prepared.

“Hmm, okay then. Giving them the skills video of the second boss doesn’t seem too much, especially considering they don’t stand a chance against you. This could solve some problems,” Unparalleled Wicked Fairy concluded after a moment’s thought. After all, she was the manager of the team and club.

During their casual chat, one hour had quickly passed. Their team members had also gathered together.

“Dong Dong fell asleep. As her guardian, you can use some of her items to summon her Cave Dweller. You can continue to allow her to sleep on it. After all, it’s a moving battle. Even if we were one person short, it wouldn’t be a big deal,” suggested Li Yao.

“I don’t know if that’s a good idea.” Li Sister hesitated. The adults could feel how tired they were, what more a child like Dong Dong. However, this was a team activity. If she couldn’t keep up, they should have replaced her with a substitute. Dong Dong would certainly not agree to this when she woke up.

“Vice Captain, let’s go with what the Captain orders. We have no objections,” said newbie Mu Zi.

“Yes, it’s a moving battle. The output of Totem Sa won’t be too high, and given that we have the incredible Captain, we won’t lack output. Dong Dong should get some sleep,” said another team member.

“That’s right, children need sleep for growth, it’s no big deal.”

Everyone in the team knew Dong Dong was a child, and there was no secret about it. Dong Dong was too adorable. Everyone loved her and naturally spoiled her a lot. Seeing how tired Dong Dong was, everyone felt heartbroken. No one objected.

“Thank you, everyone.” Li Sister was always serious about differentiating matters between public and private. She was feeling a bit awkward enjoying such privilege. But if it were her getting tired, she wouldn’t mind as much. However, she could not stand seeing Dong Dong this tired. After all, Dong Dong was her only family. The two were dependent on each other. In reality, she treated Dong Dong just like her own daughter.

“Relax, relax.” This was decided by the captain, you vice captain should not worry so much.

Li Yao laughed and said, “Yes, it was my decision. The terrain ahead is spacious. I can release the many-headed serpent to output Dong Dong’s damage.”

Finally, Li Sister stopped hesitating. She summoned Dong Dong’s Cave Dweller, and Li Yao promptly picked up Dong Dong and placed her on it. Then, the team set off.

The Cave Dweller was very intelligent and knew that its master was sleeping. It walked steadily while carrying Dong Dong, who was sleeping soundly on the soft seat. She must have been really exhausted. However, as young as Dong Dong was, she was very competitive and never complained.

With Li Yao’s scroll, they finally reached the depths of the valley where they saw a large camp spreading out in the distance.

In the middle was a gigantic building. It was not built in centaur style and it proudly stood in the middle of the tribe…

PS: I’m a bit stuck now as I haven’t completely decided on the new boss. I will prepare for a five-post tomorrow, and spend a good amount of time designing the third boss today.
