Chapter 502: Yuge’s Tomb
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The scene where dozens of zombies have wrapped themselves around one person to suck his blood was not a pleasant one, especially if the zombies would refuse to let go once they had started. The victim of this attack would need to activate all his skills and receive timely help and fierce healing in order to survive the assault.
The party that Li Yi gathered had around 30,000 players. However, the numbers were dropping fast under the crazed attack of these zombie minions.
The situation cannot be evaded even with the dual effects of the Light Talisman and Dark Honor. The zombies were sucking the blood out of the people at terrifying speed.
Before reaching the final Boss, the King of Lanluo’s tomb, they would still need to rely on the human wave tactic. 1
These zombie monsterlings would not die even after they were killed. Instead, they would respawn automatically after a certain amount of time as per the common characteristic of all Undead beings.
Although the zombie monsterlings would not have increased capabilities after they have respawned, they still posed a threat to the team. They could easily trap the battalion between a rock and a hard place when they suddenly respawn at the back of the formation after the battalion has marched forward.
The number of zombie monsterlings that has resurrected behind them increased with time. The situation became even more dangerous than before.
The main tanks, armed with large shields, formed a circle to protect the Healers and DPS. Whenever the zombies charged at them, the main tanks would immediately activate a major skill to withstand the onslaught.
As they went deeper, the types of zombie minions that they encountered varied. Instead of only encountering ordinary zombie monsterlings, an occasional gold or red special zombie would spawn in the mix.
The golden zombie minions have extremely high defense, and would only die under prolonged attacks. Meanwhile, the red zombies were more annoying. Similar to the yellow-robe monsterlings of the Cursing Sect, they would immediately self-destruct once they latched on to a person.
The drops of the golden zombies were quite satisfactory. All of them were Gold-Quality drops, and even though that no equipment dropped, the formulae and drawings that appeared would quickly be snatched up by players.
All drops were assigned according to ROLL points, and no one has any advantage over another. This was Li Yi’s current policy.
As the team continued to move forward, they had met with another team they were acquainted with.
It was the team led by Faded Cloud Breeze and Arthur.
The players who first entered the passage have died long ago. Although Faded Cloud Breeze and Arthur had survived, not many players had survived with them. They only had 500 people left.
Their numbers were too small for them to move forward recklessly. Hence, they had decided to rest in this area where monsters would not spawn.
Faded Cloud Breeze squeezed a smile at Li Yi’s direction, “Guild Master Dark Wing, are you in need of manpower?”
“Yes, of course I am.” Li Yi readily agreed.
Li Yi proceeded to add Faded Cloud Breeze and Arthur into the team before instructing the team to rest.
In a map where the zombies overflowed the surface, no one could predict when an unexpected incident would happen. Defiantly Tyrannical has refused to work with other guilds, and as a result, the team he led had long since disappeared off the map.
A strong and populous team would definitely bring them many benefits here.
When they were resting, many other teams have passed the area and noticed them. Since Li Yi’s team had the largest number, all of them joined him without any hesitation.
Previously, it was Faded Cloud Breeze who had led the team. This time, it was Li Yi’s turn to take the lead.
Soon, the party has grown stronger, approaching a total of 30,000 players once again. Li Yi gave an order for the party to continue its march.
In contrast to what was done previously, there was no change in tactics. The main tanks continued to form a barrier on the outside of the team, protecting the safety of the Healers and the DPS players within.
“Are you in the Glory Instance Dungeons? That’s amazing, I heard that only the best of players could participate in the Glory Dungeons.”
“Oh, I’m not the best around here.”
“You’re amazing, I admire your greatness!”
The party continued to push forward. Just when Li Yi was bored out of his mind, Silly Swan, better known as Sister Windcloud Nine, has sent him a private message. Since Li Yi was idling anyways, he started to chat with her here and there.
“My enemy is right in front of me. He’s a very good player and is a better team commander than my husband. However, he’s very mean and despicable.”
“How is he mean and despicable?”
Sister Windcloud Nine thought for a long time before she could muster a reply, “It’s a gut feeling.”
“He felt like a mean and despicable person?”
“Mhmm...”
“...” Li Yi was speechless for a long time.
“Right. By the way, are you afraid of your husband?” Li Yi swiftly changed the topic.
Sister Windcloud Nine was silent for a moment. “I’m not quite afraid of him, but... Ah, there are some things that I can’t really tell you.”
“Why?”
“That’s because... Ah, it’s just that I can’t tell you about it. Let’s change the topic and talk about something else.”
“Well, if you don’t say anything, I won’t tell you anything either.”
“Do you really want to know?” Sister Windcloud Nine finally blurted timidly.
“Mmhmm.”
“If that’s the case, you must promise me that you won’t tell another soul about this.”
“I don’t even know what your name is. Even if I were to tell another person, who would know that I’m talking about you? Don’t worry, I’ll never tell anyone.”
“Actually, my husband’s... that thing of my husband is very powerful.”
“What thing?”
“It’s... it’s that thing. Every time when he wants to punish me, he would use that... And he would punish me throughout the whole night or something... Oh, don’t talk about this anymore, I’m so embarrassed...”
“...”
The conversation ended there. Li Yi continued to ask about what ‘that’ was, and what was ‘that’, but Sister Windcloud Nine no longer replied to his messages.
Li Yi turned to look at Sister Windcloud Nine to find that Sister Windcloud Nine was watching him too. Their eyes met, and Sister Windcloud Nine was so frightened that she jumped and quickly lowered her head.
‘F*ck me, am I so terrifying?’ Li Yi was slightly depressed by that.
The number of zombies gradually decreased as the number of deaths on Li Yi’s side increased. Soon, a majestic tomb emerged.
The tomb of King Lanluo is here!
Once the party has advanced to the front of the tomb, the zombie underlings had disappeared entirely.
The ancient tomb was incredibly gigantic. It looked just like a monster that was lying prone on the ground. Standing in front of the entrance, they felt as if they could be swallowed anytime by the monster before them.
“Courageous warriors, this is the tomb of King Lanluo. Pope Shirui and the Great Lord Moigne is somewhere within the tomb. Their successful rescue is in your hands.”
The blue proto-dragon whelp gradually landed with Laura and the Light Priest on its back.
“The tomb of Lord Yuge, King of Lanluo, represents the highest wisdom of the Lanluonese. To enter the depths of the tomb is not an easy feat, and you only have yourself to rely on. The existence of the Soul Realm forbids reliance on teamwork.”
Laura kept talking and continued to explain all of the rules regarding the entrance to the tomb of King Lanluo.
Since the tomb was enveloped by the Soul Realm made by the King of Souls, all players will be randomly transported to a dimensional space the moment they stepped into the entrance of the tomb. Simply put, each player will be sent into a small instance dungeon, and could only return to the main instance dungeon if the puzzle within the small instance dungeon was solved.
In the tomb of King Lanluo, all strengths and power of teamwork were rendered useless. Players could rely only on themselves if they intend to pass the dungeon. This was the only way to clear the final Boss of the Glory Instance Dungeons.
After explaining the methods to clear the tomb, Laura and the Light Priest gave the players a blessing each. The Light Priest distributed another Light Talisman, while Laura has proceeded to increase the effect of Dark Honor by 10%.
Now, the effect of Dark Honor would increase to 20% after two Light Talismans were used.
Of course, the reward this time was not given to all players. Instead, it was distributed according to the damage dealt, healing points and damage shared by each player. The players who did not do anything on the way and merely remained a bystander throughout the process would receive no rewards at all.
“May the light be with you!”
“The Evil God’s Blessing will always be with you.”
After Laura and the Light Priest has finished their work, they went to the side and stood unmoving like wooden pillars.
Many players flocked towards the entrance of the tomb. Laura’s message was clear, a team will be no use of around here. Players could only rely on themselves to clear the dungeon.
Those with a headstart will always have an advantage, and those that lagged behind will inevitably suffer for their delay. With that thought in mind, many people rushed into the tomb.
“Let’s go in too!”
Li Yi waved his hand. Players of the Iron Alliance quickly took action.
Ssst ssst!
As Li Yi walked into the entrance of the tomb, he was immediately wrapped in a glaring light. He was immediately sent to an eerie location.
His scene was in a laboratory, where bottles and jars were arranged at the left of the room while a variety of test items lined the right. In it, he found stones that could run, pens that jump, radishes that sung, and walls that will yelp in pain.
“Hahaha, this is a great invention that transcends the limit of all beings. The mystery that would allow life to mirror the mythical eternal life was finally discovered by myself! From now on, Lanluonese would no longer be plagued by death. All of them would gain eternal life, and I will become a god!”
An impressively bearded middle-aged man, donned in a white clinical robe, danced and yelled happily while hugging a bottle of turquoise liquid. He seemed crazed.
System Notification: [Kill Yuge’s phantom in 1 minute!]
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Li Yi immediately attacked the middle-aged man once he had received the System Notification.
“Who is there? Who dared to break into my secret room?” Yuge barked out, his hands protectively wrapping around the bottle of greenish liquid. A damage value of [-3042] appeared above his head.
Li Yi continued to attack. Yuge’s phantom could no longer bear the assault and disappeared in a distorted, pitiful shriek.
The scene before Li Yi changed again!
This time, a gorgeous green-haired woman stood in front of the tomb. Then, she resolutely drank the bottle of turquoise liquid.
Snap!
The soul of the green-haired beauty was separated from the flesh. Her flesh became a zombie while her soul flew towards the metal fortress. This was the scene when Cesha has transformed into a rayman.
Li Yi stepped forward and picked up the empty bottle. He received a System Notification.
[There are still a few drops of liquid inside. Will you drink it?]
[Yes? No?]
“What’s your progress?”
Instead of drinking it immediately, Li Yi went to shout in the Guild Channel.
“I’m watching the story of the Frost Cell...”
“I am admiring the origins of the Prototype B7 Spider King.”
“I’m inside the light labyrinth, walking in circles.”
“I might be trapped in the belly of something. Son of a b*tch, I can’t get out...”
The answer of his guild members made Li Yi speechless. Literally, no one had the same experience as his.
Since he had no way to base his decisions on, he could only rely on his own judgment.
Li Yi dropped the empty bottle.
The scene changed again, and Li Yi saw the King of Souls.
It was a humungous soul with an appearance that was dark as night which was the exact opposite of the color of Ce Sha’s body. Li Yi was very familiar with the King of Souls because this guy has been flying over the Dragonbone Waste for days on end.
“Why did you refuse the eternal life that I have bestowed upon you? Why did you not drink the bottle of Eternal Water?” The King of Souls asked.
How childish. Internally, Li Yi has spat a metaphorical mouthful of saliva at the King of Souls.
“Why don’t you answer me? Why?”
Thwack! Thwack!
Li Yi raised his hands to shoot two Meteor Arrows at the King of Souls.
This was his answer!
