Chapter 537: Most Valuable Item
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Yi ordered Onyxia to continue ascending and stopped once Mutated Snow Eagle was no longer pursuing them.
A commotion was already stirring below as Brother Simon has led his men up the peak. Realizing the absence of an adult snow eagle, they mounted their Gold Gryphons up the sky to search around.
Snow eagles were attached to their homes. With two of its eggs still in its nest, the eagle would not stray too far from its nest no matter how much it was provoked.
Li Yi was battling it out with the snow eagle at the height limit when Brother Simon and his wife, Lil Jinlian flew towards them.
If the adult snow eagle was not to be found on the left, right, front, or back, that would mean it was above them. As long as the adult snow eagle resp.a.w.ned, finding it was just a matter of time.
“Raging Breath!” Ordered Li Yi.
Onyxia took a deep breath in and was about to spew when Li Yi activated G.o.d Mode and dismounted himself.
Mounts and pets were different as the former would lose its ability to attack when a player dismounted, leaving it to take a beating. Moreover, once the damage sustained went above a certain threshold, the mount would automatically disperse.
Onyxia flapped its wings and hovered in the air, leaving Mutated Snow Eagle to peck her without a chance to fight back.
Brother Simon and Lil Jinlian had flown over but with Onyxia’s huge body blocking their view, they were unaware of Li Yi’s absence on top. He was actually observing them while cautiously drawing close.
Li Yi detoured to the back of them and consumed a bottle of Mana Spring to fire seventeen Eliminate shots in one go.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…
The howling wind in the sky was the perfect cover from the unsuspecting Brother Simon as he dropped dead without a clue.
Lil Jinlian soon followed this fate. Mana Spring and Advanced-level Mana Recovery Potion swiftly filled up Li Yi’s mana bar, prompting him to engage in a close-quarters shootout at her. Lil Jinlian went down without a fight.
A purple ray flew out of Lil Jinlian. Li Yi stepped forward to grab ahold of with his hands.
With Brother Simon and Lil Jinlian dead and Soul Bind chaining them down, Li Yi’s only concern would be on whether or not their party has a powerful enough Priest who could disperse Soul Bind.
Soul Bind state may be powerful but it was not perfect. There were a few ways to disband this state and a Priest cla.s.s’ Song of Redemption was one of them.
Li Yi flew to Onyxia’s side and mounted her to continue his battle with Mutated Snow Eagle.
Mutated Snow Eagle’s HP was running low at a steady pace and it was not long before it has decreased to around 100,000.
He could capture it now!
Red flares of light formed on Li Yi’s hands as he tossed them towards Mutated Snow Eagle in an attempt to capture it.
Bp! Bp! Bp! Bp! Bp!
Capture’s success rate was, as always, horribly lame and more so with Mutated Snow Eagle refusing to submit to defeat as it struggled for dear life.
Li Yi stopped attacking when Mutated Snow Eagle’s HP dropped to around 20,000. One more move and this monster would die rather than submit to captivity.
Li Yi ordered Onyxia to retreat while he prepared to break away from battle with Camouflage to leave room for Mutated Snow Eagle to recover a bit of blood.
“Roar—”
Onyxia who was obedient thus far suddenly ran amok. Her jaws opened as a ferocious fuel of flame burst out, burning the dying Mutated Snow Eagle to smithereens.
“F*ck me!”
Li Yi felt dejected.
This dragon here has never resisted even once against his orders, giving him the impression that Onyxia has fully submitted to him. He never thought this would ever happen.
“Hahahahaha…” Onyxia laughed out loud. It could not be helped, the Black Dragons were notorious for its wicked character setting.
“Get down!”
Li Yi was fuming. Normal snow eagles were considered fairly valuable and Mutated Snow Eagles were the rarest form of its kind. Now that it was killed, it is unknown when another would resp.a.w.n.
There were still two eagle eggs in the nest. After all that work, the adult snow eagle was no more. Everything would be in vain if he did not get his hands on the two eagle eggs.
Over twenty Fluttering Snow Alliance players have surrounded the eagle nest but no one made any move to retrieve the eggs. They were still there!
Brother Simon and Lil Jinlian had yet to revive. Li Yi estimated that even if their subordinates were proficient in Song of Redemption, they probably will have a hard time looking for their corpses.
After tumbling from the sky, only G.o.d knows where these corpses would end up. Just the mere task of searching for the corpses would be time-consuming enough.
To avoid any accidents from happening, Li Yi dispersed Onyxia in midair and summoned Violent Bear King in replacement. He drank a Hegemonic Body Potion and landed on snow peak like a G.o.d descending on earth.
“Shoot at Random!”
The rain of arrows took down half of the over twenty Fluttering Snow Alliance members while the remaining half survived by activating their skills.
Boosted with Wind s.h.i.+eld’s Protection and Violent Bear’s Protection, Li Yi stood there as he fired Shoot at Random, determined to fight to the death.
Seconds later, all twenty-six Fluttering Snow Alliance members were lying on the ground.
Li Yi claimed victory with 30,000 HP remaining.
At full speed, Li Yi grabbed the two eagle eggs.
At the moment he picked up the eggs, Li Yi received a System Notification.
[The item is locked to your soul.]
“It’s Dark Wing, I recognize his Orange Quality Bow!” Someone shouted.
“F*ck, save your breath! Who doesn’t recognize him?”
“C*nts, what’s the point of fighting? What a waste of time guarding these eggs, just to have them stolen.”
The Fluttering Snow Alliance members lay on the ground as they huffed breaths as they were inconsolable.
What they thought was the least of Li Yi’s concerns. After he retrieved the eggs, he immediately rubbed the Reusable Teleportation Stone to return to Invincible Continent.
Li Yi had only just stepped on Invincible Continent’s soil when a verbal war was unleashed in the world channel.
The person who chided him was a female Archer by the name of Fluttering Rain Purple Water Chestnut…
“Invincible Continent’s trashy Archer Dark Wing is a bully who steals a girl’s eggs. Despicable, treacherous, no manners, a.s.sh*le…”
Such a message was spammed by Fluttering Rain Purple Water Chestnut from day to night, not even stopping in between.
One shout in world channel cost 1 Gold Coin so the unending shouts from day to night would cost at least 10 thousand Gold Coins…
The most common route to becoming famous in the game was to become a well-known gaming expert. However, apart from this, there were many unorthodox ways to achieve the same effect.
Such as bas.h.i.+ng a person in the world channel.
Prior to spamming Li Yi in the world channel, Fluttering Rain Purple Water Chestnut was not well known even though she adopted a similar name to the legendary gamer, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. There were many copycats in the world, one could be named Dark Wing while another Black Wing. These types of people were not afraid to be mistaken for someone else but they were afraid of getting no attention.
Fluttering Rain Purple Water Chestnut found fame overnight from bas.h.i.+ng Dark Wing in the world channel.
Back in Pantheon forums, paid internet ghostwriters fully displayed their prowess as they spiced up the incident of Li Yi s.n.a.t.c.hing Fluttering Rain Purple Water Chestnut’s eggs. Hence, a mushy love story about eggs and a woman hatched out…
Li Yi read these posts, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He killed Brother Simon, Lil Jinlian, and twenty-six Fluttering Snow Alliance players, but he did not remember seeing this Fluttering Rain Purple Water Chestnut woman.
‘I s.n.a.t.c.hed her eggs? Could it be that these Fluttering Snow Alliance players were watching over the eggs for Fluttering Rain Purple Water Chestnut to claim?’
As the verbal abuse in the world channel got uglier, Li Yi remained mum about the whole matter. He did not bother to explain despite the exaggerated allegations.
These things tended to go out of hand if he were to meddle in it.
The next day, Li Yi’s silence encouraged Fluttering Rain Purple Water Chestnut to double down. She announced in the world channel that she was willing to reward any party with the most valuable item of hers for whoever who could kill Li Yi.
Most valuable item…
The alluring term used has aroused many male players. At least several thousand players went into Invincible Continent with such a valuable item in mind.
For a moment, an uncountable amount of players were focused on killing Li Yi, and even Li Yi’s best buddy, Chen Yang was swayed.
“Brother Yi, can you just let me kill you? Most valuable item, ao ao ao ao ao…”
“Scram!”
Li Yi was currently of two minds as he held the two eagle eggs.
Different from Mysterious Egg, hatching eagle eggs were fairly simple — They just needed to be placed in an area with minimal temperature change for a long period of time.
There were many places where the temperature did not change much in King of Pantheon. However, the problem was the length of time. A day or two would not do as it needed to be placed there for at least two weeks. What if they were spotted by other players during this period? Although these eagle eggs were locked to his soul and could not be used by anyone else, if anyone were to lay a finger on them, these eggs would dissolve. It sounded like a very risky venture…
There was a time limit of three days to seek a place with minute temperature change or these eagle eggs would dissolve into water…
Li Yi attempted to place them at home but the System Notification left him on the brink of collapse.
[This item can only be placed in shared maps…]
It was not restricted to just his home, they were also not allowed on the Guild’s map either so he was only left with the choice of placing them in the Outskirts map…
Li Yi rode on Onyxia to roam around the world. It was then he realized that it was almost impossible to find a piece of unpopulated land in any shared map.
No matter the map, players were everywhere. The mult.i.tude of monsters could not put a stop to even the most maniac of players. Li Yi went around the whole of Invincible Continent yet still could not find a safe spot.
It was risky putting these eggs anywhere. Moreover, it was a waste of time for him to spend all day watching over these eggs…
North Pole Continent was out of the question. With the temperature difference too wide there, it was simply unsuitable for incubation.
Just as Li Yi was pulling his hair out, Onyxia roared and took over the reins to dive down under.
Li Yi fixated his gaze and through the spinning and tumbling, found himself in Newbie’s Village.
The players in Newbie’s Village were low level. There was n.o.body with a flying mount here so placing the eagle eggs on the tree branches could be a good idea…
Gleefully, Li Yi dispersed Onyxia and summoned Black-feathered Golden Eagle instead to fly to a nearby forest.
“Fengxi, you motherf*cker…”
“How the f*ck did I end up b.u.mping into you? You camped my alt account for a month now, are you even human?”
Li Yi had just entered the forest when he heard a feud break out.
