[Finish off Cassio!]
A new Quest had appeared on Li Yi’s Quest Pane.
“Him and what army?” Cassio laughed coldly. Just as he moved forward, Elenor stopped him in his tracks.
“Stand still and let him kill you.”
“Why?” Cassio protested.
“Are you questioning my words?” roared Elenor.
“I-I d-don’t…” Cassio lowered his head. Cowering in place, he stood still and served as Li Yi’s live target.
Although he knew that he could never defeat Cassio, Li Yi still did as the quest asked and started firing rapidly at Cassio.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Arrows flew, but no matter how much they hit Cassio’s body, they did not cause any damage. On the contrary, the arrows just passed through him like nothing.
Elenor said, “Cassio is not a human, but rather an Embodiment of Light born from Holy Light. Thus, your arrows cannot damage him.
“If you wish to obtain the Goddess’ Bow, then you must first find a way to damage Cassio.”
Ding!
The Quest stated in the Quest Pane changed.
[Damage Cassio: An Embodiment of Holy Light is immune to physical damage. The question now is how can you deal damage to Cassio. If you do not have an answer, head to Blade Peak in the Eastern Continent and find Augustus.]
Li Yi pulled out a Frost Arrow and shot directly at Cassio.
[-26 Critical Hit!]
The Frost Arrow landed on Cassio, dealing some damage.
Both Elenor and Cassio were utterly stunned. Never could they have expected that Li Yi would have found the answer so soon…
An Archer could only make physical attacks. However, in King of Pantheon, there were various special monsters that were immune to physical damage. In order to balance the Archer class, the developers added special arrows.
Ding!
[Quest “Finish off Cassio” completed. Gained 50000 EXP and 500 Reputational Value with all major cities.]
“Congratulations on your success.” Elenor smiled at Li Yi.
“Then, your next test is to collect the Seeds of Holy Light in the Silver Moon Canyon and hand them over to me.”
[Quest Name: Collect the Seeds of Holy Light.]
[Quest Requirements: The Silver Moon Canyon is the origin of Holy Light. There are Seeds of Holy Light scattered everywhere. Collect 2000 Seeds of Holy Light and hand them over to Elenor.]
“Cassio, bring him inside.”
“Yes, master.” Cassio raised his head. Looking at Li Yi, a glimmer of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Cassio summoned a shiny golden Holy Light Warhorse and circled around Li Yi a couple of times before saying in a mocking tone, “Sinner who has blasphemed against the Holy Light, can you even keep up with my speed?”
Li Yi immediately summoned the Crimson Tiger King, smiling as he followed closely behind.
Cassio was merely an NPC, Li Yi’s temper was still not that bad as to start raging at an NPC.
“Let’s go, Light!”
Cassio’s beloved Holy Light Warhorse mount was named Light. Once it heared Cassio’s orders, the Holy Light Warhorse let out a long neigh and charged towards the Silver Moon Canyon, leaving Li Yi in the dust.
“Go!”
Li Yi slapped the Crimson Tiger King’s butt and went on his merry way.
He was not in a hurry at all. There were more Seeds of Holy Light than there were strands of fur on a cow’s body. Even without Cassio’s guidance, he could still finish the quest with ease.
When he finally arrived at the Silver Moon Canyon, Cassio had long been waiting for his arrival. Fortunately, although he was not fond of Li Yi, he still taught Li Yi the method of collecting the Seeds of Holy Light as per Elenor’s orders.
The method of collecting the Seeds of Holy Light were simple. It was exactly the same as collecting herbs, with the only difference being that the channeling bar for collecting Seeds of Holy Light was a bit longer.
Even without any interference, collecting 2000 Seeds of Holy Light would take at least two whole days. However, Li Yi was playing as a Human. With his Innate Ability, his speed of collecting these Seeds of Holy Lights was still much faster than the other races.
Cassio rode on his Holy Light Warhorse and patrolled about, leaving Li Yi alone in the canyon collecting the Seeds of Holy Light.
Due to the influence of the power of the Holy Light, the Silver Moon Canyon did not have any average small creatures. There were only five rare elites that would spawn in a rotation. They were Blazing Ape, Hurricane Tiger, Earth-shattering Bull, Water-element Turtle, and Lightning Leopard respectively.
These five rare elites had been affected by the power of the Holy Light. They could more or less utilize a bit of the power of the Holy Light. Out of the five of these elites, the Lightning Leopard’s spawn rate was the lowest, making it extremely rare.
These five rare elites had a shared cooldown and only one of them could be randomly spawned at one time. The Blazing Ape’s spawn rate was the highest whereas the Lightning Leopard’s spawn was the lowest. Coincidentally, the Lightning Leopard was one of the legendary pets every Archer could only dream of.
In his past life, there was an Archer who camped here for three years. His sole purpose was capturing the Lightning Leopard. His efforts did not go to waste, in the end, the Archer finally succeeded.
That Archer with terrifyingly absurd patience and willpower had written down his entire experience camping for the Lightning Leopard, not leaving out a single detail. Thus, he created an extremely detailed guide, gifting a huge amount of knowledge for a lot of future Archers attempting this task.
People live off the experiences of their predecessors. Without that guide, wanting to capture the Lightning Leopard that was as fast as lightning would be nothing more than a pipe dream. Without a large amount of careful experimentation, it would go to waste even if a player manages to encounter it.
If the Violent Bear King was the best physically defensive tank pet, then the Lightning Leopard was no doubt the best Light-type offensive DPS pet.
The class that an Archer would have the most trouble dealing with was the main tank. They had high defense and huge HP pools. They were also adept in parrying and dodging. Once an Archer faces up with a strong tank, the tank could just stand in one spot and leave the Archer’s hands tied. This was a common scenario in the endgame. It was also the reason a lot of players eventually gave up being Archers and swapped to another class.
However, with the Lightning Leopard, this kind of scenario would no longer occur, The Lightning Leopard could use attacking spells with a terrifying 100% accuracy rate. As long as a player got into its range, there would never ever be a “MISS” notification popping up on top of a player’s head.
There were plenty of players going crazy for a Violent Bear King, but there were even more players who have sacrificed half of their lives trying to attain the Lightning Leopard.
Violent Bear King suited Archers who liked playing solo, but Lightning Leopard was more suited for pure damage output. With this pet, when a player goes to a dungeon, even without moving a finger, their DPS would easily be in the tens of thousands.
When it comes to an amazing offensive pet like this, Li Yi had long made plans to capture it for his own arsenal. When he was playing solo, the Violent Bear King would definitely come in handy. However, when facing other players, having a Lightning Leopard by his side would be equivalent to having another player of the same level with legendary equipment fighting for him.
Other than completing this Epic-Level Quest, the intent behind coming to Silver Moon Canyon was also to capture the Lightning Leopard!
Li Yi proceeded further into the deeper parts of the Canyon, collecting Seeds of Holy Light on the way. In his past life, he had read through the guide posted by that extremely patient Archer from back-to-front at least ten times. He was completely clear about the methods of luring out the Lightning Leopard and how to capture it.
The Silver Moon Canyon’s rare elites would respawn every two days. That was why a lot of players in his past life liked to camp in this place.
Most of the players in the Western Continent had already reached Level 50 and above. With a bit more time, this place would become the gathering grounds for countless players. The reason Li Yi rushed over to this place was to get a head start on the Lightning Leopard.
The rare elite’s spawn location was completely random. However, thanks to the extremely patient Archer in his past life spending three years studying the movement patterns of the rare elites, as long as Li Yi followed the guide and rare elite spawn rates, finding it was a guarantee.
Li Yi started his search inside the canyon, but no rare elite could be found. He immediately went outside and walked around the canyon, collecting Seeds of Holy Light along the edges of the canyon. Soon, he heard the mooing of a cow.
Earth-shattering Bull!
Li Yi got excited, he rode his Crimson Tiger King and moved towards the origin of the sound.
On a grass field deep inside the canyon, a golden rhinoceros let out a loud moo, stamping on the ground on all fours and causing a shockwave. It was attacking the opponent in front of him.
In front of this gigantic rhinoceros, a female Human player in tattered clothes kept leaping about and dodging the shockwaves. In between her dodges, she continuously used Frost Bolts to attack the Earth-Shattering Bull.
‘Human Ice-type Wizard?’
Li Yi saw the scene from afar. Drinking down an invisibility potion, he went in to take a closer look…
The female Human Wizard’s technical skills were extremely good. She used Flash to dodge the Earth-shattering Bull’s Charge, all whilst using the Frost Bolt as her main form of attack. Whenever the Frozen took effect, she would then use Blizzard on it.
‘Her combat prowess was not bad, but her equipment was a bit too crappy.’
Li Yi gave his evaluation on the female Human Wizard.
The female Human Wizard’s equipment was really quite bad. These Frost Bolts and Blizzard would do nothing more than give the Earth-shattering Bull a tickle. They could only deal around 100 damage per hit. The Earth-shattering Bull’s HP was a whopping 8,000,000. With the way she’s fighting it, it would at least take four days before the Earth-shattering Bull could even remotely be defeated…
The Earth-shattering Bull had already lost more than 1,500,000 HP. This proves that the female Human Wizard had already been fighting here for a long time. After looking on a bit more, it finally clicked in Li Yi’s head.
It seems like the female Human Wizard’s equipment durability had all been exhausted, so the equipment effects could not be activated. At this point, it was no different from fighting stark naked.
This was not a surprise. Although Silver Moon Canyon had a few NPCs, none of them could repair equipment. It was not easy coming to this place. Once the equipment durability runs out, if a player wanted to go repair it and return, it would waste at least half a day’s time.
Take Li Yi for example, other than the strongest equipment he was currently wearing, he had also prepared five extra sets of average Gold-colored equipment just in case. This was to counter the problem of equipment durability.
‘Once an equipment’s durability runs out, they would look like tattered clothes when equipped on a player. Speaking of which, this female Human Wizard does have a nice body tho.’
She was quite tall with big watery eyes, a tall nose, and luscious red lips. It was a mesmerizing sight to behold.
This female Human Wizard definitely has the willpower, but was it enough to defeat this Earth-shattering Bull?
Looking at her leaping about feverishly, Li Yi helplessly shook his head.
There were not many players from the Western Continent who had played an Ice-type Wizard to this level of proficiency. This female Human Wizard was, of course, someone Li Yi had known. She was the same Ice Empress Autumn Love that he had made a trade deal with before.
The Blazing Ape mount was dropped here. It was no surprise that Autumn Love was camping in this place.
“Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!”
Earth-shattering Bull started going berserk again, stamping its hooves furiously on the ground. This caused Autumn Love to helplessly start dodging non-stop.
After the shockwaves caused by the Earth-shattering Bull ended, Autumn Love survived. However, her robe had been ripped apart. With a loud rip, the wizard robe she was wearing had its durability completely exhausted, causing the robe to be shredded into nothingness…
