MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 372 -372 Elite Squad

Li Yao swept aside his usual caution and became somewhat reckless.

He now had too much HP. To kill him, one would first have to kill his puppet, which had over thirty thousand HP. In other words, in this situation, he was essentially an NPC boss.

It was almost impossible to one-shot him. Of course, this impossibility referred to players of the same level.

Both sides charged in the same direction and quickly met each other. They both knew about the death of the rogue. Enemies meeting, both sides wanted blood.

“Kill!”

In this situation, there was nothing to say. The word ‘kill’ said it all.

Boom…

The two defensive warriors collided with their charges, and the great battle began.

The Void Walker summoned by Magic Dominion also rushed up to attack the opponent’s ranged class but was blocked by a Death Knight wielding a large sword.

Magic Dominion didn’t persist. He continued to cast spell, creating a rain of fire above the heads of the opponents, beginning to fall.

Little Cold Hands was usually a shy girl, but at this moment there was a serious look on her face, entirely different from her usual demeanor.

Summoning a massive, three-yard-tall Mechanical War Bear, it roared metallically, charging at a demon with twin blades who tried to kill the fragile ranged characters on her side.

Little Cold Hands also didn’t idle, beginning to skillfully load and shoot. Li Yao observed that Little Cold Hands’ shooting technique was excellent, always hitting her mark during the conflict.

Light Flower was also very impressive, casting spells at a rapid speed. It was clear they had coordinated many times before.

They didn’t dodge the opponent’s area attacks. Light Flower didn’t disappoint, continuously casting shield and healing spells.

In the conflict, they always kept their teammates’ health at a safe level above eighty percent.

The battles between teams were straightforward. There weren’t any fancy techniques or elegant flips and twirls.

Especially in a corridor, there wasn’t much space. It all came down to a straight-up brawl based on the strength of each team.

“Everyone, focus fire on my target.” War Horizon’s hand flashed with a yellow light. A thick earth wall blocked the opponent’s Shield Warrior.

Then, War Horizon charged straight at the opponent’s healer while the others directed their firepower at the healer as well.

Meanwhile, Li Yao who had just killed a rogue, didn’t make a move. He sat leisurely on his puppet, observing their strengths. Li Yao was quite satisfied.

Li Yao’s original plan was to pretend to get lost and separate from them in the ruins if their abilities were insufficient. However, based on the current situation, they were very helpful to him.

The enemy healer, after being focused fired, released a shield and attempted to retreat, with the rest of her team wanting to help her.

However, at this moment, Ephemeral Bloom, who had been hiding and not attacking, suddenly appeared. She did not perform a sneak attack from behind as the enemy expected.

Instead, she appeared in front of the enemy healer along with a Hook Lock, contrary to the healer’s expectations of an attack from behind.

Ephemeral Bloom’s appearance in front of her, and not close by, left the enemy healer stunned, but then their face turned pale. However, it was too late.

The enemy healer was now bound by Ephemeral Bloom’s Hook Lock, and their figures rapidly closed in.

Thump…

Ephemeral Bloom’s dagger plunged relentlessly into the front of the enemy healer’s brain.

Knock Out Punch!

This move could stun the enemy for three seconds, and as Ephemeral Bloom successfully executed it, her body was targeted by enemy spells. Shattered.

It turned out this was a substitute shadow of Ephemeral Bloom.

Ephemeral Bloom’s figure eerily appeared behind the enemy Magician, launching a sneak attack.

All these happened in an instant. In just a blink of an eye, Ephemeral Bloom appeared and managed to control two enemy players.

The enemy healer was stunned and had no recourse. Instantly killed.

The Magician was also killed while under control. The enemy already started one rogue down, and now their healer and magician were gone. The remaining enemies were swiftly killed without a chance – their Shield Warrior and Death Knight stood no chance.

With Light Flower’s strong healing, the enemy’s attempt to instantly kill Magic Dominion also failed.

Li Yao, however, was frowning, stealthily observing Ephemeral Bloom. Although the battle was brief, Li Yao found that Ephemeral Bloom’s moves and routines felt very familiar.

Li Yao held Eye of the Creator and scrutinized Ephemeral Bloom. Sure enough, her face markings were different from ordinary Ancient Elves. Even more importantly, her body was much weaker than ordinary Ancient Elves.

If not observant, one would not be able to notice these subtle differences.

The most important point was, Li Yao believed that even with the same elite occupations, the same professional skills, different people would have different ways of utilizing them.

“Sad Song.” A name flashed through Li Yao’s mind.

Li Yao had met her in the temple the last time. This player was definitely skilled. She had said she would stop him in the main arena, but did not appear. So, Li Yao had forgotten about her.

“Each of you, take the equipment you can use.” War Horizon said.

This was their method of distributing rewards, and it was also a popular method of distribution. Of course, as an NPC, no one would distribute any spoils to Li Yao.

“Why did they come down on their own?” Little Cold Hands asked in confusion.

“No, we wouldn’t have entered without any objections if they hadn’t lead us here,” said Magic Dominion.

War Horizon frowned and said, “In that case, they must be a small team from a larger group. They were either scattered to look for something or they were responsible for clearing and intercepting anyone trying to pass through here.”

“If they were exploring, there must be a checkpoint to the deeper areas in this region. If they were clearing out new arrivals, they must have already found the checkpoint,” added Light Flower.

“Each checkpoint requires a lot of time for a master of engineering to open, but once opened, it certainly yields some gains. Either way, it’s good news for us. It seems this teleportation location is excellent, much better than the last time,” Ephemeral Bloom said.

While Li Yao didn’t speak, he was indeed satisfied. He thought, “as expected of an elite team, they are all very smart.”

“Master, there is a three-way intersection ahead. Which way should we go?” War Horizon asked.

Li Yao said, “Given that these Dark Camp recruits came from the middle, let’s go the same way. I cannot wait to see what this so-called checkpoint is like.”…

PS: It was raining heavily back home, so the power went out. I only arrived in the evening…
