Chapter 82: Mission Guide, the Monster Appears
Li Yi reacted quickly and easily dodged the oncoming assailant.
The black shadow quickly landed on the ground behind Li Yi.
Once it turned around, only then did Li Yi and the others see its appearance clearly.
It was a giant python covered in pale green scales.
[Level 22 Green-eyed Python (normal)]
[HP: 8,500]
[Physical Attack: 300]
[Physical Defense: 70]
[Magic Defense: 20]
“What the h*ll? Hey, isn’t this supposed to be a normal monster? Why’s that monster’s attributes a little high!”
After looking at the Green-eyed Python’s interface, Clutch King’s eyes started to burn with fighting spirit. He clutched his weapon tightly as he moved to Li Yi’s side.
The moment the Green-eyed Python came out, Snow Chaser had already run behind Li Yi. As a Healing Mage, she quickly raised her magic staff and was ready to use her skill at any moment.
Li Yi was satisfied with Snow Chaser’s quick reaction.
“Do you two have enough Mana Potions and Health Potion on you?”
Li Yi looked at the Green-eyed Python — who was standing not far away with an offensive stance — and asked without turning his head.
Snow Chaser quickly glanced at the supplies in her backpack and replied, “I still have about one set of Mana and Health Potions on me.”
“Mine is about the same as well.” Clutch King replied.
“Alright, then you two work together to take care of this monster.”
Li Yi wanted to see how strong these two people were in actual combat.
Therefore, he did not plan to make a move this time. This could be considered as a test for the two of them.
“Okay, don’t worry, leave it to us!”
Clutch King was full of fighting spirit. He took a step forward and quickly rushed toward his opponent.
The dagger in his hand gave off a cold light as he aimed at the Green-eyed Python’s eyes. This principle was applicable to the snake-shaped monsters in the game Divine Revelation.
A faint light flashed in the Green-eyed Python’s eyes, and its thick body swayed. Instead of retreating, it advanced, and its tail whipped through the wind as it faced Clutch King’s dagger.
“-560! Block!”
“-340! Block!”
Clutch King’s dagger was parried by the Python’s tail, but luckily, he still managed to slash two deep cuts into its tail.
The Green-eyed Python felt the pain, and its pair of dark green eyes were now dyed with a strange scarlet red. With a hiss, the Python attacked yet again.
Clutch King shook his arm, which had been slightly hurt by the impact, and smacked his tongue in displeasure. He had not expected this monster to actually meet his attack head-on.
Immediately after, he quickly chanted something, and a flash of light appeared under Clutch King’s feet. His body moved, and in an instant, he was in front of the Green-eyed Python with both of his daggers.
“So that’s the skill of a Fast-attack Warrior, that’s amazing…”
On the other side, Li Yi had raised eyebrows. He was impressed, this was because Clutch King’s speed was several times faster than he remembered.
The dagger flashed with a bright light, and the Green-eyed Python dodged left and right, but the dagger still left scars on its body.
“-943!”
“-1,831! Critical Hit!”
“-399! Block!”
“-800! Weak Point Damage!”
“…”
In the blink of an eye, the Green-eyed Python’s health bar had dropped by nearly half.
With another flash of the dagger, a bloody scar appeared on the Green-eyed Python’s eyes.
A blood-curdling scream rang out as the Green-eyed Python writhed in pain. The surrounding shrubs were swept away, and dirt rose from the ground.
Unable to dodge in time, Clutch King was struck hard by the Python’s tail and was sent flying backward.
“-931!”
Clutch King’s health instantly plummeted down. As a Fast-attack Warrior, whether it was his basic attributes or his bonus attributes, he always chose strength and agility. In terms of defense, it was natural that he would lose out on that. Fortunately, there was a Healing Mage close by.
With a slight movement of Snow Chaser’s delicate hand, a faint golden light shone from the tip of her staff, and in the next second, the faint golden light flew out and wrapped around Clutch King.
“Intermediate Healing Spell!”
“+500! Recovery!”
A warm feeling spread throughout Clutch King’s body, and his health bar instantly recovered by nearly half!
“Snow Chaser, you’re awesome!”
Clutch King steadied himself and gave Snow Chaser a thumbs-up behind Li Yi.
He then cracked his fists, tightened his grip on the dagger, and charged at the Green-eyed Python.
The blade light flashed yet again, and the Green-eyed Python was directly cut in half by Clutch King.
“-1,300! Critical Hit!”
After it was defeated, the sound of applause rang out, and Li Yi could not help but smile. He was very satisfied with their performance.
Although there were still some flaws. For example, when Clutch King attacked, Snow Chaser could cast an initial spell to distract the monster, like the Fireball Spell so that it could create an opportunity for Clutch King to attack it while it was aggro.
However, this was all because there was not enough synergy between the two to understand each other’s fighting styles.
It was no matter as these were all minor problems; he just had to make them work more often together.
“Bro, are you proud!”
Clutch King smiled slyly as he ran up to Li Yi as if he was taking credit for something.
“Not bad.”
Li Yi’s expression was indifferent, but Clutch King did not care.
He said excitedly, “Bro, am I strong enough now? I feel like I’m good again. Let’s have a PvP battle!”
“Are you sure?” Li Yi’s expression was strange. “Don’t blame me for not warning you, bro. If I hit you now, you probably won’t be able to take it.”
“Really?”
Clutch King blinked his eyes in disbelief.
He had not gotten Li Yi’s permission, so he could not look at Li Yi’s current attribute panel.
However, he could still see Li Yi’s HP.
Clutch King knew that with so much HP, he definitely would not be able to even scrape the surface of that HP.
What he had said earlier was a friendly warning.
However, Clutch King felt that he should at least be able to exchange a few moves with Li Yi.
“Look at my attributes and see for yourself.”
Li Yi tapped the air in front of him a few times, and the interface appeared in front of him.
After fiddling with it, Clutch King could look at his interface.
“What the…”
Clutch King was dumbstruck.
“Bro you’re really awesome…”
Clutch King gulped, and then bitterly said, “Bro, if you stay this strong and keep getting stronger, should I just call you master instead? I really don’t want that to happen! At least give me some form of hope to catch up to you!”
Hearing this, Li Yi shrugged as he was too lazy to continue. Instead, he cut to the chase, “Alright, stop fooling around, the mission guide has appeared again.”
Not long after Clutch King killed the Green-eyed Python, the mission guide appeared on the map again.
“Nice!”
Clutch King nodded his head and silently followed Li Yi.
A moment later, the three of them arrived at the mission site.
Rustling sounds could be heard from the surrounding trees. Three huge pythons were hanging upside down from the trees and stared straight at them. The green scales on their bodies were shining brightly under the mottled sunlight that shone through the leaves.
There was a hint of greed in their eyes. It was as if they had just locked eyes with the most scrumptious meal they would ever have.
“This snake is much bigger than the previous one.”
Clutch King mentally compared the sizes of the giant pythons in front of him with that of the common one he fought just now.
Hearing this, Li Yi grunted in agreement, and then looked at their stats.
[Level 24 Green-eyed Python (elite)]
[HP: 9,200]
[Physical Attack: 350]
[Physical Defense: 80]
[Magic Defense: 40]
“That’s an elite monster, the stats are pretty good as well. I’ll leave it to the two of you to handle it then.”
Li Yi patted the two of them on the shoulders and took a few steps back to make way for them to perform their best.
“That…”
Snow Chaser stammered as she wanted to say something.
“Is there a problem?”
Li Yi looked at Snow Chaser who wanted to say something but instead, she held back.
“Carefree Dream. I’m a Healing Mage. Shouldn’t I hide behind you?”
Snow Chaser blinked her big pretty eyes and could not help but question, who had retreated a distance.
Li Yi shook his head and then said, “True, if this was a team battle, you should indeed be hiding behind me.
“But right now, I want to see you practice your skills. Of course, Clutch King doesn’t need to practice his combat skills anymore because he showed us what he could do just now.
“Right now, we’re mainly practicing teamwork, awareness, and Snow Chaser…”
After Li Yi said that, he gave her a deep look before continuing, “For you, your positioning.”
“My positioning?”
Snow Chaser was stunned.
Li Yi saw Snow Chaser’s blank expression, so he further explained.
“Many Healing Mages only know to hide behind tankers and cast their skills, but once an invisible assassin gets close to them, they become useless lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Tankers can’t save them once an assassin gets too close if you haven’t noticed.
“When Healing Mages have good positioning skills, they can buy their tankers some time to react to protect their mages.
“Thus, the positioning of a Healing Mage is crucial.”
Snow Chaser understood what he meant by all this. “So that’s how it is.”
“Hey, hey, hey, bro, Snow Chaser, are you guys done talking? These three things are about to make a move.”
Clutch King pointed at the three Pythons and shouted.
While Li Yi and Snow Chaser were conversing, the giant Pythons had already moved their huge bodies and were slowly making their way down the tree.
Their mouths were slightly open as they bared their fangs. There were a few drops of unknown black liquiMission Guide, d which gave off a rotten smell. When the droplets fell to the ground, wisps of smoke rose and sizzled..
