Chapter 96 - 96: Testing Attacks (Additional 13000 votes)



Li Yao bound the first Hearthstone at the inn in Sephercher, then used the charging chamber’s Hearthstone to return to Beginner’s Village.

Once more, he replenished some necessary ores and materials for making gunpowder before he began continuously creating engineering items.

With half the night, he produced enough Exploding Sheep, then used the remaining time to make shells for the Hand Cannon. Even though he had backpacks made by Fengyi, along with the space in the Mechanical Space, the available slots were still limited.

Buying cannon shells from a store was too expensive, the cost of one is equivalent to a small bomb. They were priced in silver coins. Though he was not short on money, Li Yao did not want to be the fool who overspent.

He found it much more cost-effective to make some himself, thanks to the ore mine he had a plentiful supply of materials and ores to make gunpowder.

The only thing that bothered Li Yao was that, while he met a lot of experts, he had not yet run into any famous Lifers from his previous life.

Li Yao planned to focus on cultivating an engineering Lifer player after completing the elite task, to specifically produce supplies for himself.

In his previous life, there was an oft-repeated phrase, ‘Engineering impoverishes three generations, Archaeology ruins a lifetime.’

This meant investment in engineering was extremely huge, but the returns from the products made were sorely lacking. Only the wealthy would choose engineering as a profession.

When dawn was about to break in the game, Li Yao spent a little time leading a few waves of dungeons. Although he made a lot during his livestream, every penny counts. One can never have too much money.

Li Yao returned to Sephercher to meet with the Fruit Knight, then contacted Zhao Lei, allowing the group to gather again.

The meeting place this time was in the south of Sephercher, approaching the kingdom of the werewolves.

“Are you kidding me, is this the outpost you said only had a thousand werewolves?”

Zhao Lei looked dumbfounded at the situation in the distance, asking in disbelief.

“The map is correct, it’s the Vicious Outpost. The intelligence from the Pharmacist Association shows only a thousand werewolves gathered.” Li Yao looked at the information in his hand, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.

“Then could you tell me where the other thousands of werewolves came from?” The Guardian Angel was also speechless.

“If you’re asking me, who am I supposed to turn to?”

Li Yao was helpless. Rather than a small outpost, the scale of this place looked like a human village. The people of Gilneas had abandoned it.

Later, when the Undead Clan took control of Undercity and strengthened their hold over Silverpine Forest, this village was used as an outpost and later became an important supply station.

However, because of the werewolf threat in Burnwood Village, their forces here were withdrawn. As a result, disaster struck and they lost the outpost. The abandoned village was now full of werewolf figures. At a glance, there were at least several thousand, not just a mere thousand.

The current situation was, while a thousand would have been incredibly challenging already, hearing about the presence of several thousands of werewolves was horrifying.

Werewolves, as anthropoids, may not be high in intellect when compared to civilized races like humans. But they have already established military order.

The party could see the werewolves had made simple defenses and even had patrolling elite soldiers.

“There are two possibilities, either the intelligence is indeed erroneous, or you’ve been caught up in the strife between the NPCs.” Fruit Knight remarked calmly.

“I’m afraid it’s the latter.” Li Yao bitterly smiled. Even without knowing the plot progression, simple analysis could lead to an unfavorable conclusion.

“What riddles are you guys speaking in?” Zhao Lei didn’t understand.

“Lei, you still haven’t adjusted, you’re treating this game like the ones we used to play. Primitive God is very meticulous. For example, werewolves, they surely can’t have such high intellect. Why did the werewolves not attack the outpost earlier or later, but exactly during the time the forces were withdrawn? Also, while werewolves have a military order, they don’t know how to rely on defensive structures. But now, they are actually doing it.” Li Yao explained.

“And another thing, Prairie Fire received intelligence that there were only a thousand werewolves at this outpost, but now it’s several thousands. I don’t believe that the Undead’s intelligence collection could be this poor. Which is why I believe that Prairie Fire might have been drawn into the strife among the NPCs.” Fruit Knight added.

“Then can you explain the situation to the queen and get her to change your trial? Would that work?” Guardian Angel, not knowing the queen well, couldn’t make an accurate judgment.

“The Queen used to be the highest military commander of the High Elves. Now she’s the Undead Queen. Military orders are absolute, if I were to retreat, it wouldn’t end well for me.

Li Yao knew the queen well, prideful, stern, if he were to falter and retreat, not to mention becoming a Dark Ranger, she might even write a letter to Eileen preventing him from taking any other elite profession. “So what do you plan to do?” Fruit Knight asked.

“I want to try my hand first.”

In the cave, they killed spiders. They could promptly kill a thousand, but those were young spiders. They were in a cave and relying on the beasts’ instincts. Looking at the outpost, which resembled a large military camp, Li Yao had a nasty feeling.

Li Yao slowly approached the outpost, but when he was still a few hundred yards away, the werewolf guards directed their attention to him, their eyes flashing with a threatening light.

Just as Li Yao closed in on the five hundred yard mark, the werewolf guards had already picked up their weapons.

Li Yao immediately felt something was wrong. This was the field of vision of a civilized creature’s defensive fort, hardly resembling that of a monster.

U-lala-lala…

Suddenly, one werewolf drew his weapon, pointing straight at Li Yao.

In an instant, a unit of werewolves rushed toward Li Yao, the werewolf in lead being a level 11 Elite. Rotted Hide Werewolf Captain

Rank: Level 11 Elite

Health: 2500

Armor: 250

Resistance: Low-Level Shadow Resistance

Skills: Charge, Kill, Whirlwind Slash, Cleaving Strike

The werewolves were decked out in crude armor, all had high armor and health ratings, and surprisingly had four skills.

Li Yao quickly unveiled his crossbow, then swiftly altered its angle. By the time the werewolf unit entered crossbow range, Li Yao had the perfect aim.

Whizz…

A black steel arrow shot across a three hundred yard distance, embedding itself in the chest of the werewolf captain.

The werewolf captain’s armor was impenetrable to the steel arrow, yet the brute force sent the captain flying backwards.

-684

Following a large damage number, the werewolf captain took down three regular werewolves behind him.

Whistle…

Upon a resonant call, the fire eagle flapped its wings and initiated the Feather Fire Scattershot.

-690-650-687-675-629-426…

“Holy hell, are you even human?” the guardian angel cried out in disbelief:

“Your pet’s crowd control skill deals even more damage than your crossbow?” “It’s a boss class pet.” Fruit Knight muttered to himself.

“I became even more acutely aware that I really chose the wrong profession.” Zhao Lei was dumbfounded since his single-target damage was still under one hundred.

He wouldn’t stand a chance against a unit of werewolves, let alone against a single Elite on his own. Yet, someone else’s pet could singlehandedly take on a small team.

Fire Breath!

Once again, a high damage number popped up, instantly killing the regular werewolves with only over one thousand HP.

Eagle Hunting a Hare!

Rip and Tear! Rip and Tear!

Two skills plus a regular attack, and the werewolf captain also fell, his HP at zero.

However, before anyone could ask Li Yao about the fire eagle .

A mournful horn sounded, and a vast number of werewolves flooded out from the outpost. At least a few hundred werewolves charged out, with those in front holding shields, those in the back wielding bows, and even the existence of a Shaman Priest.

Li Yao’s face changed as he packed up his crossbow and began to sprint. While running, he shouted: “Run.”

Ps: Thanks to my friends for their unwavering support. Mario is eternally grateful.

Also thanks to “I Want Peace,” who rumor has it clicked a tip of 5888 because of a hand cramp when he intended to tip 588. The tycoon should take a breather, haha..
