Chapter 496 - : Hunter’s Treasure
Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Hunter’s Treasure
Li Yao raised his eyebrows. He hadn’t played this dungeon many times, and his memory wasn’t too sharp on it.
When he was a thief, he had no team and could only play in hard mode to get some equipment.
When he became a Hunter, he was busy leveling and couldn’t remember whether he had played this dungeon or not.
The Nightmare Equipment is indeed valuable at this stage of the game. But even if he grinded it, it wouldn’t necessarily drop an item that he could use. The game had been running for quite some time. There were so many enhancement strategies that he didn’t feel the need to grind this dungeon too much.
Hence, hearing now that there was something that he could use, he figured it must be a pet-related item, but he had no idea what it could be.
Nightmare Pet Badge
Agility: 65
Nature’s Gift: All pet attributes increase by 15%.
Soul Communication: Links the souls of the owner and the pet, creating a resonance effect. As long as the pet is present, both the pet and its owner recover 0.5% of their health every second in battle, and 2% of their health every second out of battle.
Flash: The owner can teleport the pet to a designated location within a 150-code radius around the owner. Cooldown: 20 seconds.
Equipment Requirement: Hunter
Level Requirement: 20
Upon seeing this equipment, everyone gasped. While it didn’t add any attributes, the special effects were downright overpowered.
“Bloody hell, are they trying to make this impossible?” Angel, the guardian, muttered.
“That’s insane! Li Yao’s pets are already terrifying enough. This increases their attributes by another 15%! Oh my god, that’s just off the charts.” Shadow Dance was stupefied.
“You’re invincible now, right? With this equipped, nobody else stands a chance.” The unparalleled enchantress agreed.
Everyone else felt the same way as Angel. They had experienced the terror of Li Yao’s pets in recent battles.
The Hydra was incredibly versatile, capable of tackling all kinds of battles. The Fire Eagle had an amazing reconnaissance ability and terrifying output for fire magic. The Death God’s agility had saved Li Yao from danger countless times, and its own combat power was also formidable. The Spider Tank’s defense was just outrageous, and its offensive capability was equally fearsome.
During rest, many of them had dueled one-on-one with Li Yao’s pets in terms of offense, defense, and even combat. The results were clear — none of them could give Li Yao’s pets an opportunity, otherwise, they would be killed instantly. Each of Li Yao’s pets had a greater output than any player at their current stage.
Li Yao’s individual output was equivalent to a small team’s output, with some to spare. If this terrifying combination was enhanced by another 15%, it was simply unimaginable.
The unparalleled enchantress then added: “You guys are only considering the 15% attribute increase, but don’t overlook the last two attributes. You must remember that the Hunter class already has a skill with the second effect. Coupled with this stacked effect, considering the nature of the Chairman’s pet talent, its capability for sustaining battles will become more terrifying. However, the third effect is the most terrifying.”
Dumbfounded, Tongtong replied, “Isn’t it just a pet displacement skill? It feels like it’s more useful for the Spider Tank since its speed is slow in defense mode. But for the Fire Eagle and the Death God, it’s pretty much redundant.” freewebnøvel.coɱ
The unparalleled enchantress said: “Tongtong, you possess a strong combat awareness. Think deeper and you will surely figure it out.”
Tongtong lowered her head, pondered for a few seconds, and her eyes suddenly lit up, “I get it! Big brother can summon three pets. He can initiate this skill, trap his opponent with his three pets, and if his opponent doesn’t have a displacement skill, essentially they’ll be left with a dead end.”
Everyone else came to a sudden understanding. Indeed, if the Spider Tank, Death God, and Hydra were to corner someone, and they didn’t have a displacement ability, their fate would be…
“As I’m the only Hunter here, I guess I’ll not stand on ceremony.” Li Yao assigned the equipment to himself, patted Tongtong’s head, and said, “Tongtong, you’re really smart. You’ll surely grow into an amazing professional player one day.”
Tongtong instantly beamed with pride and said, “Of course! With such a powerful sister-in-law and big brother teaching me, if I’m not good, it would be a loss of face.”
Sister Li immediately flicked her forehead and said, “I compliment you and you start boasting. Hurry and check the body, see if there’s anything else.”
Cute and confused Tongtong took out a gem bag and said, “There’s this and 5 gold coins.”
Li Yao assigned the gem bag to Sister Li and also assigned the gold coins to her, stating, “I won’t keep these for myself as I don’t need the money. Let’s put them directly into the guild warehouse. We’ll use gold coins as guild funds.”
“Sounds good. These gems are pretty good indeed, just nice for making some jewelry to put in the guild warehouse.” Sister Li made the decision instantly.
“Okay, just handle it as you see appropriate.” Li Yao immediately swapped his Glory Badge and equipped the Pet Badge. Suddenly, his pet’s hit points, defense, attack, and agility increased significantly. Li Yao was immediately satisfied. Even if he didn’t receive any other equipment afterwards, the single piece was worth it.
“What shall we do next?” Qin Feng Yi asked.
Li Yao replied, “Shadow Dance will scout stealthily, the rest of you can rest. This has been exhausting. Everyone, get a good night’s sleep and gather in eight hours.”
Newcomer Mu Zi said, “We’re not tired, let’s continue, Chairman.”
“Indeed, we’re not tired at all. Let’s go on.”
Stimulated by the top-grade equipment, the guild members were too excited to sleep.
Li Yao shook his head and replied, “Rest to sharpen the blade for a more efficient woodcutting. Being mentally exhausted will not yield good results. This is not what I want to see. Everyone, make sure you rest well. Oh, remember this – with every centaur we kill, we get either one or three Nightmare Points depending on the quality of the kill. I recall at the entrance camp there’s a shop that buys these points. You can exchange them for some equipment, or skills, runes, or something that might give you some improvement.”
“Indeed, Chairman is wise. We’ve killed 20 thousand centaurs so we can definitely exchange quite a number of good items.” The members were initially thinking about logging out but were immediately heading for the store at the entrance of the dungeon.
Li Yao shook his head and said, “Shadow Dance, I look forward to hearing from you. Please scout the terrain and monster situation. After exchanging the items, you should rest too.”
“Boss, don’t mention it. You can rest assured and leave it all to me.” Shadow Dance replied, and then stealthily moved towards the next location.
After bidding everyone farewell, Li Yao also logged out. He didn’t rush to sleep but instead ate something and laid on the bed, confidently searching his memory to find details about the second boss.
In his recollection, the second boss wasn’t as straightforward. It would be a major challenge for Starfire’s team.
The first one was a trial run of sorts. Thanks to his pets, his directives, and targeted tactics, the boss was defeated on the third attempt.
But the second one wouldn’t be that easy. He couldn’t do everything by himself, but need the guild members to cooperate closely…
