Chapter 424: Catch Him Alive!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Black Dragon Princess once offered an Ancestral Dragon Ring Search Quest twice to Li Yi but because Li Yi thought it was a trap, he never accepted. After listening in to the Black Dragon sibling duo’s conversation, he understood that Black Dragon Princess was not out to kill him but rather, it was a means of infiltration.
So this was what Black Dragon Princess was after. The entire Shattered Frost City, not Li Yi’s life.
King of Pantheon was different from any regular game. When monsters laid siege and players failed to defend, the city would then belong to the monster’s camp. Unless the players were able to seize it back, the city would forever be under the monster’s possession.
Wind Capital’s Castellan, Wang’er’s Uncle was a living example of that. It was currently the only non-player Castellan in Invincible Continent.
Going head-on with the Black Dragon race would only leave players at a disadvantage. The reason was simple. The Black Dragon Legion could respawn without limit while players would lose their fighting spirit as their level and equipment dropped. It was not worthwhile to go at them with brute force.
Taking the tactical route would be the better choice. Seeing through Black Dragon’s scheme would cut the entire Black Dragon Legion’s potential damage to half. When the said legion advanced towards the city, dispatching an army to block in advance would reduce at least half of these monsters’ HP.
If fighting without a plan would lead to a disadvantage, then planning tactics would earn them a competitive edge.
“Katrana thanks my lord,” Black Dragon Princess was overwhelmed with flattery and immediately offered Li Yi her gratitude.
“Please give way. I’m leaving to handle a quest,” Li Yi cupped his hands in a farewell gesture to the surrounding players.
“Guild Master Dark Wing, you have not answered my question.”
“Yeah, mine as well. My enhanced equipment always ends up broken...”
“Me, me, me, my phone number is 13...”
“Don’t forget about me...”
Li Yi had his brows tied in a knot and it was then when a row of NPC soldiers walked by. Li Yi secretly curled his finger at them.
“What’s going on? Don’t cause any ruckus here!”
The NPC soldiers murmured forcefully, instantly dispersing the spectating crowd.
“My lord, let’s go,” Katrana smiled at Li Yi and took quick paces to leave the city.
Li Yi and Katrana arrived outside the city and followed along a pathway to Black Rock Mountain.
Katrana was walking slowly but he could not just ditch her and fly off because she would then return to the city and the quest would be deemed a failure.
This was actually an Escorting Quest.
While on the way, Katrana tried to start up conversations with Li Yi. She talked about the general history of Pantheon, the origins of multiple races, the whole story of the Dragon’s becoming, etc. She was a jack of all trades.
Only, Li Yi was not the least bit interested in whatever Black Dragon Princess has to say. He could just search it online for whatever he wanted to know.
“The giant dragons are divided into five races, Red Dragon, Green Dragon, Blue Dragon, Yellow Dragon, and Black Dragon...”
“Lady Katrana, what do you think about mounts?”
Li Yi cut Black Dragon Princess off and summoned Holy Light Warhorse out to circle around Black Dragon Princess twice. He wanted to test Black Dragon Princess’s IQ level.
In his past life, Li Yi once owned Black Dragon Princess but it was a shame though, he never had an exchange with that Black Dragon Princess. Similar to Holy Light Warhorse, that Black Dragon Princess did not have self-awareness.
Li Yi has many mounts on him but up to now, only Mermaid Princess has self-awareness and could chat with him at any time of the day. The remaining mounts were just idiots who simply obeyed orders...
“Mounts are a means of transportation and can cut short travel time but I don’t favor mounts. I think flying by my own strength is true strength.” A sense of pride flashed past Black Dragon Princess’ face.
“Do you know how to fly? If you do, can we make haste?”
Katrana folded her arms and shrugged, “I’m sorry, my lord. With the Ancestral Dragon Ring missing, I lost my ability to fly.”
“So you’re saying you can only walk at snail’s pace?”
“Yes, my lord.”
Li Yi was out of ideas. Traveling from Shattered Frost City to Black Rock Mountain by foot took up to a day and a night...
This quest was the pits.
Li Yi looked towards the direction of Blade Peak and seemingly nonchalantly added, “I know of a person, who subdued a giant Red Dragon as a mount.”
Black Dragon Princess’ body quivered, “Augustus?”
“You know him too?”
“Of course I do. He tried to capture me... Mm... capture me to be his subordinate.”
Li Yi was laughing inside. He could tell Black Dragon Princess’ level of intelligence from this answer. It was not at the low end but compared to players, it was still lacking.
Li Yi acted surprised, “Augustus tried to capture you to be his subordinate? I heard his abilities are unfathomable. If he tried to capture you, how did you manage to escape?
Katrana paused and did not answer. Li Yi did not know that his questions were related to a secret of the dragon race. Unless he accepted a quest related to this secret, Katrana would not say a word more.
Katrana kept her head down and hastened her pace ahead. She seemed to realize something and she did not bother to talk to Li Yi anymore.
Li Yi has lost interest in her for now and left a message to Jiaojiao and Flower Underpants to check on them. He was pretty content to learn the level-grinding process went along fine without any mishaps.
“Great, keep up the good work!” Li Yi sent them a group message.
It was then Katrana stopped at her tracks and pointed up, “My lord, there seems to be something going on there!”
“Don’t let him escape! Camp him!”
“Brothers, go go go go, gang rape that motherf*cker...”
There were sounds of players cussing and chiding up ahead.
Katrana stayed where she was, not moving an inch.
This Escorting Quest was this troublesome. If a situation arose, the NPC would stop walking.
“I’ll take a look!”
Li Yi urged Holy Light Warhorse to gallop over.
In the small pathway ahead, Scumbag Wang was riding a little black horse and leading his men to pursue a person.
Scumbag Wang’s little black horse was moving sluggishly while his men were worse off. Some of them had mounts while others were running. The person taking off in the front was riding an orange wolf battle mount. They were traveling in lightning speed, almost sweeping Scumbag Wang’s pack off their tail.
“Not Gray Wolf, I’ll f*ck your woman. Stop if you have balls! Don’t run if you have balls!”
Neck and neck with Scumbag Wang in pursuit of Gray Wolf was a short fatso. This person was none other than Huashan’s No.1 ruthless brute, Defiant Mountain Gun.
“Scumbag Wang, idiot Mountain Gun, chase me if you have balls. You’ll never get away with it once I rid of you!” Not Gray Wolf was caught up in his thoughts as he fled, he was rather pleased with himself.
Gray Wolf has had it recently. He was tortured by Scumbag Wang in Wailing Grotto and when he went offline, he was tortured by his wife. Red Wolf gave an ultimatum to kill Scumbag Wang to Level 0 or Gray Wolf would be stuck going down under for the rest of his life.
Gray Wolf was so scared that he pulled out the big guns to fight Scumbag Wang and his men multiple times but regrettably had his plans foiled due to Bloody Rose’s butting in. He dropped three equipment as a result and dared not return to the Western Continent. If Red Wolf were to ever find out, he would permanently be positioned down under.
Gray Wolf never took kindly to his subordinates. He brought over 400 men to Invincible Continent but after a two-week killing spree, each and every one of them left him.
It was not because these group of people was not loyal but this guy really needed a class in management. He berated and beat his people. All of them were in equal positions as players so who would put up with this attitude?
Fortunately, Bloody Rose was not always online. Gray Wolf plotted for long before luring Scumbag Wang and his men out.
Gray Wolf turned back as he ran, noticing Scumbag Wang’s team completely scattered. Those running with their two legs were completely left behind at the back and only those with mounts were keeping up with a struggle.
Gray Wolf was thrilled and ordered his mount to stop. He stabbed his quarterstaff on the ground and with that, ten over White Skeletons crept out from the ground.
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
The shadow of two figures sped over. The first shadow was Scumbag Wang but his target was not Gray Wolf, instead, he was aiming at these White Skeletons.
The other figure belonged to Defiant Mountain Gun. He charged and slammed into a thick tree right next to Gray Wolf.
“Wham!”
With Defiant Mountain Gun’s eyes rolled back, he was overcome with dizziness. Scumbag Wang was in a tight battle with the White Skeletons. Although he was slicing fast with his kitchen knife, his HP was dropping at a steady speed. He had one foot in the grave.
“Nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk...” Gray Wolf let out a roar of laughter, “Scumbag Wang, f*ck your mother. Today’s your day!”
“Your wife’s shriveled ass!” Scumbag Wang ran his mouth as his hand kept slicing. He even stuffed a bottle of Low-level HP Potion down his mouth to recover 30 HP.
“F*ck your mother!”
“Your wife’s shriveled ass!”
“F*ck your mother!”
“Your wife’s shriveled ass!”
Now, this was a PK. That heated cussing while in battle really intensified the atmosphere.
Bang—
Just as Scumbag Wang was about to drop dead, a yellow-furred violent bear came crashing the party. A Sweep by it pulled aggro from these White Skeletons but it was quite to follow up with a Berserk Charge directed at Gray Wolf.
“A good aim at Charge but I don’t remember befriending a bear friend?” Scumbag Wang scratched his head.
Yellow-furred violent bear clawed and scratched at the Dizzy Gray Wolf and it was not long before Gray Wolf’s HP hit the bottom of the barrel.
“F*ck, how did this thing end up in the outback of Eastern Continent?”
Gray Wolf threw a cuss but quickly cast Phantom Footprints and summoned Headless Horseman.
His intention was to have Headless Horseman restrain the yellow-furred bear so that he would have the time to finish off Scumbag Wang.
The successfully summoned Headless Horseman went on slashing at yellow-furred violent bear. By right, yellow-furred violent bear’s aggro should be pulled away but strange enough, yellow-furred violent bear simply ignored Headless Horseman and still went for Gray Wolf.
Yellow-furred violent bear raised its paw up high, about to end Gray Wolf when a voice was heard from beneath the tree, “Don’t kill him, catch him alive!”
Yellow-furred violent bear and Gray Wolf both paused.
It was then, a short fat shadow swooped in and pressed down on Gray Wolf.
“Since you dare show your face in Eastern Continent, I’m gonna rape you today!”
The short fat shadow was none other than Defiant Mountain Gun. This person was dead set on riding Gray Wolf and began to take off his pants...
