Wild Beast Plain.
“Howl– Howl–”
More than ten Snow Wolves charged forward and stepped on the Freezing Trap one after another before freezing into icicles.
Li Yi stopped and bent down before arranging the Spike Trap.
Archers do not have any AoE Skills during the initial stage. Both their Shooting and Pet Paths could only shoot singular projectiles while their Trap Path skills could barely be considered as AoE Skills.
The monsters that stepped on Spike Traps would Bleed continuously. This skill was considered as one that dealt fixed damage. It would produce 20 points of damage per second at Level 1. Moreover, the damage would double against monsters in the Wild Beast Path and could last for 20 seconds.
Li Yi put in extra effort and emphasized on the Shooting Path. Thus, he merely touched briefly on Level 1 of the Spike Trap. This small amount of damage was slightly lessened towards normal monsters with 3000+ HP. However, it was still better than nothing. He stalled the monster by leading it around the Spike Trap in circles a few times. The results were extremely good.
After releasing the Mutated Small Wild Boar, Li Yi drew his bow and suddenly released an arrow.
[-780]
[-789]
Li Yi’s equipment had produced terrifying damage abilities. Although he was lacking AoE Skills, his fighting speed could almost make up for it.
The Charge skill of the monsters on Wild Beast Plain was the thing that gave people the biggest headaches. However, by using the Freezing Trap to make them use up their Ice Charge, one could still solo as long as they did not run into a herd of monsters.
“Snort snort!”
The Mutated Small Wild Boar used Solid Ice and firmly pulled Aggro of the Snow Wolf pack.
After drinking a Fury Potion and activating Rapid Shooting, Li Yi eliminated half of this Snow Wolf pack within 12 seconds. When the Mutated Small Wild Boar collapsed, he retreated immediately and continued using the Freezing Trap and Spike Trap Battle Tactics.
Li Yi repeated the process for half a day before he walked a few steps towards the front and commanded the Mutated Small Wild Boar to advance as well.
There was an Armored Rhinoceros in front with HP that reached 5000+ but there were no other monsters nearby.
The Mutated Small Wild Boar went forward and used Tackle before biting the Armored Rhinoceros and tugging at it firmly while Li Yi shot at it from behind.
The Mutated Small Wild Boar could not fight two monsters but could resist one with great difficulty. When the monster’s HP had decreased by two-thirds, Li Yi took down the Armored Rhinoceros successfully and gained 5500 EXP.
‘Stay where you are and rest!’
Li Yi waited until the Mutated Small Wild Boar’s HP filled up again within a few short seconds. Meanwhile, the Armored Rhinoceros respawned again.
Li Yi continued shooting…
There was only a pack of Snow Wolves nearby that would wander here once every half an hour. Meanwhile, there was a hundred percent chance that the Armored Rhinoceroses would spawn again after they were killed in a span of at least 10 seconds but not more than 20 seconds. This also happened to be the reason why Li Yi chose to level up here.
He could get rid of a pack of Snow Wolves once every half an hour while continuously leveling up by farming Armored Rhinoceroses.
Li Yi did not know whether Wild Beast Plain had this type of treasure-filled land for leveling up. He only knew that he could easily level up to Level 36 or 37 here!
He was not worried at all that others would become aware of this because this farming method would only be discovered by Wizard Lonely Semi City a year later before he would spread it to the official page.
Of course, even if there were people who discovered this treasure-filled land for leveling up, it would be a whole different matter if they did not have the skills to get rid of the Snow Wolf pack.
‘I’ll ignore everything else and just focus on leveling up!’
That was the current goal that Li Yi had set for himself.
Since he had obtained a treasure like the EXP Pearl, it would truly be a waste if he did not use it to its full potential once.
The EXP of one Armored Rhinoceros was 5000 but when the EXP Pearl was placed in his Backpack, each creature killed would grant an additional 10% EXP.
More people had come to farm the Crimson Tiger King. This was also the main reason why Li Yi had felt a sense of crisis. As someone who was reborn, his current level was truly not worth mentioning. If he did not advance as soon as possible and instead waited until the moment when the levels of the majority of the population had caught up to him, he would not have any time left to advance even if he wanted to.
He definitely needed to scramble for it before they did and keep their levels lower than his. Otherwise, it would be too tragic if he still chose to vie with them for farming monsters throughout the entire map.
“Old pal Dark Wing, hahahaha, I really owe you many thanks, hahahaha…”
Li Yi was currently farming Armored Rhinoceroses when Confused Fox sent him a voice message.
“I examined the official page briefly before I finally discovered that individuals who wanted to use Anler’s Will Scroll needed to be Level 60 at least. Hahaha, what gives? Yang Xingchen is really too unfortunate this time.”
Li Yi smiled faintly because he had known this conclusion long ago. It was truly because of this reason that he was disdainful towards Anler’s Will Scroll.
Ultimately, the introduction on the official page was actually too misleading. The page did not clearly state the minimum level that was required to use Anler’s Will Scroll at all. On the contrary, it had merely mentioned in a roundabout manner that only individuals with great power could bring out the power of the scroll.
Li Yi could fully imagine the scene that would occur after Yang Xingchen realized that he could not use the scroll.
Confused Fox smiled and many other people would laugh while those in Star Fire Guild were the only ones that would cry.
Four hundred thousand may have been a small matter to Yang Xingchen but problems would arise when this matter flared up. When he had lost four hundred thousand only to discover that he could not use the item after obtaining it, would it be possible for him to not be angry?
On that night itself, news had spread throughout the forums that Yang Xingchen had torn the scroll into pieces and went offline in a fit of rage.
He would just ignore him and continue leveling up!
During a period of five whole days, Li Yi did not do anything and had even set his Official Position quests aside while he focused single mindedly on leveling up on Wild Beast Plain.
His level rose to Level 35 successfully. When he looked at the Level Rankings, he could not even see Old Li Flying Dagger’s name anymore. He had disappeared suddenly in the same manner as the previous world.
The player who was ranked first was a famous person in the previous world called Lonely Semi City who was given the honorary title of Legendary Wizard and was currently at Level 36 and a half.
This fellow was incredible because he occupied the Level Rankings all year round. During the latter part of the game when his Resistant Ring of Fire was used, even powerful bosses with levels over 100 would be sent flying far away.
He was very powerful, extremely violent and the first Fire Emperor who was acknowledged by King of Pantheon, Lonely Semi City!
The levels of the other top ten players were around 33 or 34. Thus, if Li Yi entered the Level Rankings, he would rank at the second place.
That was inadequate. He still needed to increase the distance between them!
Li Yi became even more enthusiastic.
His personality was such that even ten cows could not drag him away once he became keen about something. It was impossible for him not to do it.
However, if he continued farming Armored Rhinoceroses after his level had increased, the EXP he obtained would decrease instead. He could only level up by 1 or 2 levels before he needed to change locations.
Another three days passed before Li Yi advanced to Level 36 and a half while Lonely Semi City had achieved Level 37!
Little Drunk Cat Guild had currently initiated their first challenge towards Death of a King Dungeon already. Their commander was Pretty Good Mood.
Li Yi neither joined them nor did he even ask about it. Nonetheless, he was briefly shocked when he discovered after his affairs were done that the guild managed to beat three bosses in one go.
There were five bosses in total inside Death of a King. If you were to focus on their fighting style, the one with the hardest difficulty was Dwarf King Vladimir.
“You’ve done a pretty good job, keep it up. Besides that, open the guild inventory for all of the guild members who participated in Death of a King Dungeon. Those with great contributions can take more items while those who contributed little should take little as well.”
“Don’t worry and just leave this matter to me, Brother Yi.” Nowadays, Chen Yang was also speaking haughtily. Things had changed. As the vice guild leader of a guild with over ten thousand members, it was really not surprising that Fatty had become slightly more arrogant.
In a short while, Chen Yang sent another message that said, “Brother Yi, Pretty Good Mood is stubbornly preventing everyone from taking any equipment, including me…”
“Why?”
“He said that our current equipment is sufficient to overthrow the four kings in front. He also said that our cooperation is merely lacking if we’re unable to overcome them. Thus, no one has the right to take the equipment. Moreover, he even cursed the others a few times and said that they were shitty idiots and whatnot. He had nearly even scolded me as well.”
Li Yi was quiet.
His temper had not really changed from his previous life.
“Just listen to him then. Since he’s the commander, just follow his orders.”
“Sigh, that’s the only thing we can do. This little brat is commanding even more precisely than me now so I don’t have any other choice than to obey him.”
There were only a few people who could convince Chen Yang. Li Yi was considered as one of them while Pretty Good Mood was halfway there as of now…
After briefly checking the time and realizing that the Crimson Tiger King was about to respaw, Li Yi stopped farming monsters and automatically ran towards the Crimson Tiger King’s respawning point.
[-960]
[-1120!]
Li Yi ran in circles and forced the Crimson Tiger King to pursue him from a faraway distance.
The Crimson Tiger King was a famous dummy boss. It could put up a good fight because of its slightly higher HP that would cause the players who fought it to become somewhat exhausted.
“Crackle–”
[-94]
A lightning bolt that was as thick as a finger struck the top of Li Yi’s head. The strike caused him to stare blankly all of a sudden.
“Crackle–”
[Miss!]
Another lightning bolt struck him but Li Yi finally saw where it was coming from now.
An Electric Wizard was sneakily hiding behind the Crimson Tiger King and ambushing it.
“F*ck, a kill steal!”
Li Yi was suddenly furious. He used Mislead on the Electric Wizard who had forgotten to use his eyes. He only shot two arrows before the Crimson Tiger King turned around and chased him instead.
The Crimson Tiger King swept its tail horizontally before the Electric Wizard screamed painfully and lay on the ground.
Li Yi continued shooting. When he wasted almost half a day’s worth of energy to damage the Crimson Tiger King until its HP was at about 500,000, another three players ran over from afar.
They were friends with the Electric Wizard and their intentions of coming here were very obvious. There were here to snatch the Crimson Tiger King!
Since his level had already increased, it was evident that he could not linger here for much longer.
Li Yi had no alternative but to step forward and resolve this.
It was definitely impossible for him to abandon the Crimson Tiger King and escape. With his anger, he would still need to make his opponent pay a minor price in exchange first even if it meant that he had to die.
When the Explosive Ape was released, the ape was very impressive and did not retaliate against Li Yi this time. It used Enhanced Tackle and collided precisely against the opposing healer’s body. Following that, it used the Violent Strike move that caused the opposing healer to collapse on the ground.
With the presence of the Mislead skill, the Crimson Tiger King’s Aggro had fully shifted towards them. During this level stage where the Wizard did not know how to use Dispel while the Vagabond could not use Purify, the Archer’s Mislead was a Super Ultimate Move.
Without him having to waste any effort or time, the four opponents were all lying on the ground now.
Li Yi fought the Crimson Tiger King while watching over their corpses. Archers had this advantage where they did not have to get close to attack. When he saw that one of them had stood up, he would shoot an arrow at them immediately. If they did not die, he would ensure that they did with a few more arrows after that.
The four people fell down right after they got up. After this had happened three to four times repeatedly, none of them dared to stand up anymore.
“This idiot is too violent,” said one of the opposing Sky Vagabonds.
“Let’s straighten up and try again.” The Electric Wizard who was the first to fall because of Li Yi was still somewhat unconvinced.
The four people stood up together before all of them collapsed on the ground ten seconds later.
“Roar– Roar–”
When the Crimson Tiger King’s HP had decreased to around 10,000, the four people dared not stand up again.
A significant amount of their EXP had been reduced. Thus, if they died again, they would not only be transferred to the nearby temple, but their level would decrease by one as well.
The four people lay on the ground and watched wide-eyed as the Crimson Tiger King collapsed on the ground. Next, they watched the despicable Archer step forward to loot it…
“A mount will definitely not appear,” spat the Electric Wizard.
“It certainly won’t appear,” huffed the Sky Vagabond.
“Like hell it’ll appear. By looking at his idiotic face, I’m guessing that he’ll loot a strand of the tiger’s hair at most, and it’ll even be a strand of its pubic hair.”
“Hahahaha…”
The four people lay on the ground and laughed among themselves happily.
Li Yi walked over and approached them. He shoved the tiger’s head that he held in his hand towards them and shook it.
“It’s the second one already. Sigh, I really didn’t want it…”
Li Yi summoned the Crimson Tiger King before leaving them in the dust…
