MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter-Chapter 684 - : Trap

Chapter 684 -684: Trap

The logic is abundantly clear; if successful, the rewards would undoubtedly be of great magnitude.

More important is, even if you don’t gain anything for yourself, you should do what you can to prevent the guilds that are already ranked high from getting anything.

For this competition’s military merit ranking, nobody knows, not even the spectators or the officials, let alone the competitors themselves.

Players could only guess based on combat power, and so did Li Yao and his team.

Although they have secured a significant amount of military merits, who knows if there are any luckier ones, any savants who excel in troop mobilization and warfare.

There are numerous armies in this game, though commanding in the game and boss-battle directing are practiced widely, there are no guarantees of victory against them.

...

In his past life, Li Yao had access to the Trial Ground at level sixty. The surviving teams and rankings then have no relevance to the present situation.

The only advantages Li Yao had were knowledge of many key locations and mastering engineering. However, engineering isn’t omnipotent, so Li Yao could only commandeer engineering-related bases using his proficiency in engineering.

Apart from this, he was no different from the others.

But such advantage was hardly decisive. After all, if it were a matter of combat power, Li Yao wasn’t afraid at all. But the Trial Ground was vast, with nearly tens of millions of squads entering it. The variables were just enormous.

Any opportunity he got, Li Yao strived to seize.

Of course, the goals of Li sister and others were not inferior either. Their aim was simple: if they couldn’t secure the base themselves, they had to ensure any competing team posing a threat couldn’t take it either.

Having decided, Li Yao was more at ease.

They found a deserted and shady cave, storing their tanks and other essentials inside. What could not be fit inside was concealed outside.

Important of all, Li Yao disassembled the vital components of the engine and weapon firing systems and stored them in his backpack. Without these two components, the tank could neither be started nor fire any weapon.

To be safe, he left twenty skeletons behind and then led the team towards the distant mine.

Apparently, news of some people teaming up to attack the mid-level bases had spread across the region. They encountered numerous teams along the way, but everyone was cautious to avoid unnecessary clashes – it wasn’t time to risk all yet, so even confrontations with enemies were rare.

Moreover, the Demons peripherally surrounding the mine had basically been cleaned up. The journey was smooth.

Not only the Starfire Team, numerous teams joined in entering the mine. Among them were teams uniting to form a group of no less than a hundred people.

However, everyone found out right after their entry into the mine that people from other teams disappeared.

“What happened?” Dumbfounded Doudou looked around in confusion. Even the entrance to the mine they had just entered was gone.

Unparalleled Sorceress said: “If I’m guessing right, this is a Demon’s Chaotic Teleportation.”

“Chaotic Teleportation? Are we still in the mine?” Guardian Angel looked around bewilderedly. The place seemed like a giant cavern, but for a mine, it was too large.

Of course, the extra-large mine carts that could carry dozens of persons and the huge stretch of iron rails testified that they were still in a mine.

“This place is a mine, but it isn’t actually a mine. There’s a type of Demon very skilled at transforming isolated spaces,” Unparalleled Sorceress explained: “it’s the Fallen Demon, a mutated Teleporting Demon.”

Everyone’s expression finally changed. Even for a Teleporting Demon, transforming space wasn’t an easy job. Since it was transformed, then…

“Either we have stepped into a trap set up meticulously by the Demon, or we are in a very important place. No matter which one, we’re in a big mess,” Sister Li frowned.

Li Yao added: “What’s more crucial is, we’ll resurrect here after we die. In other words, we either occupy this place or get eliminated.”

Being eliminated means dying more than ten times.

Everyone glanced at each other. They were initially geared up for a fierce battle over the mine, but ended up realizing they were the prey, and the real hunters were the Demons.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

“What’s that sound?” Before Dumbfounded Doudou could finish her question, they saw countless giant Magic Bees, the size of a child, buzzing around. Among them were five larger Magic Bee leaders glowing with a blue aura.

Yet, that wasn’t the end. Within their sight, countless Fallen Demons appeared from the darkness at both ends of the passage

The worst part was that there were many dark caves surrounding them, with Little Demons constantly crawling out from them.

Li Yao could see several bosses among them.

“Everyone retreat. Back against the stone wall.”

Commanded by Li Yao, everyone backed against the rock wall. This time Li Yao summoned three pets: a Spider Tank, a Hydra, and Death God 4000.

“All melee, listen up. You are all on full defense. Don’t let the Magic Bees reach our more vulnerable members. Being stung by the Magic Bees’ poison is even worse than weakening.” Li Yao continued: “All ranged, ignore the other Demons and focus on the Magic Bees.”

Seeing Li Yao share the Magic Bee’s information, everyone looked grim.

Despite their weak defenses, Magic Bees have devastating attacks. Magic Bees could possess immunity to a certain type of magic and develop equivalent magic abilities. Most importantly, the Magic Bee’s stinger is highly poisonous.

If stung without a shield, you not only lose health, but your body also enters a weakened state. If you can’t detoxify, even if the venom doesn’t kill you, your combat ability will be reduced to less than a third of normal.

Everyone’s summoned creatures have surrounded them, apart from the three tanks.

“Watch this.”

Feng Yi took out a black powder, chanting a strange spell.

With Feng Yi’s chant, the black powder turned into a black mist.

But the black mist was extremely fast, covering the swarm of Magic Bees like a dark cloud.

“A three-level weakening curse delivered through a medium. Great opportunity, all ranged, eliminate these Magic Bees.” Soon Li Yao started to attack; his sniper rifle had the longest range.

In this circumstance, it was time to use Rapid Shooting, beginning with scatter shots.

Bursts of bullet rain struck the swarm of Magic Bees. Magic Bees covered with the black mist turned black, and flames billowed out as soon as the black mist drilled into their skins.

The health of these Magic Bees gradually reduced. Originally nimble, they were now slow, and their already weak defense got even weaker due to the invasion of the black mist.

Under the cover of the bullet rain, endless Magic Bees dropped to the ground.

Most of the Elite Silver class Magic Bees were killed directly, while the stronger ones fell to the ground.

At this point, the Fallen Demons and Little Demons began attacking their line of defense relentlessly.

The Hydra roared in excitement. The poison snowflakes created by Floating Snow were not only able to limit the speed of the demons but also peel off their skins layer by layer. Demons that entered the range of Floating Snow started enduring the excruciating pain akin to skin peeling.

There wasn’t a single demon that could get close to Hydra; it’s rather Hydra that was ripping and devouring demons with excitement. Li Yao told it not to eat humans, but demons were excluded from this order.

The Spider Tank was rampaging around ruthlessly – just a swipe of its two legs would clear the space around it. Its Demon Eye was ensnaring demons one after another, prompting them to turn around and attack their allies…
