Chapter 1357 - Chapter 1357 Chapter 1357 Special Scroll

Chapter 1357: Chapter 1357: Special Scroll Chapter 1357: Chapter 1357: Special Scroll This is a true rival, and they have the advantage in numbers.

Although he had teamed up with Edward for a while, it was clearly a thing of the past, and at this stage, there was no need to continue cooperating. Everyone knew that to survive, they would have to rely on their own methods.

Moreover, his direct use of a domineering contract to subjugate the Flying Serpent Demon, along with his killing of the other few people, clearly showed his resentment toward him.

The last time the team split, it might not have been because the others agreed with Edward’s views, but simply because they did not want to side with him.

Recently, Edward also became aware of the function of the Red Crystal Ant Queen and, possessing Rose’s special equipment, he might have the means to control the Ant Queen.

Among the ancient gods, an overwhelming abundance of skills, secret techniques, and equipment shone like stars. Although Li Yao had been reborn and held a technological advantage, Edward, as the leader of the most powerful guild, might not have fewer good items than him.

Prairie Fire saw Edward’s team, no weaker than his own, and his expression changed. Yet he still arrogantly said, “So it’s Chairman Edward, but your presence is futile. Others may fear you, but I do not. You may not be as invincible as the legends say.”

Before Edward could speak, a warrior standing beside him, with a great sword wrapped in lightning, sneered, “Just a fool who doesn’t know how to restrain himself, relying on the money earned by your father and brother, daring to speak against the chairman. You’re not worthy.”

A player next to Prairie Fire also shouted, “What’s there to discuss? Is your chairman so remarkable? It’s only because he rode on the coattails of Fire Bird that he became first in level rankings. Fire Bird has dominated the level chart since its inception, and countless people have tried and failed to claim the top spot. Your chairman joined forces with him for just a few days and became number one. Who knows what you’ve compromised.”

“That’s right, that’s right. To say there’s no foul play, who the hell would believe that?”

The players on Prairie Fire’s side immediately burst into laughter and jeers.

Edward’s supporters were also furious. Edward held absolute authority and credibility, and to insult him was to insult them. They cursed back in a fierce commotion.

“Enough,” Edward’s face remained calm as he spoke up, “If a dog bites you, would you bite back? The innocent are clear of heart, while the guilty mire themselves. No matter who becomes number one, there will always be resentment. Why bother arguing with losers?”

“Yes.” Edward’s side immediately ceased their cursing.

Edward glanced at Prairie Fire, “Hopeless as ever. If your brother knew what you were like now, you’d be in for it.”

Prairie Fire didn’t join in the cursing, not because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t. A few taunts were fine, but if he openly insulted Edward, that would be serious trouble. Yet, he wouldn’t show weakness.

“There’s no need for you to worry about that. And since Chairman Edward is so confident, let’s just wait and see. I will surely kill the Ant Queen.” Prairie Fire sneered, “Prepare for battle, let’s go in and kill.”

…

“The real competitors have arrived this time. I was hoping to save some magic materials and items, but now we must go all out,” Li Yao said. “Did you bring the things I asked you to bring?”

“We brought them all,” the enchantress said with a smile, looking at Li Yao. “But I’m also curious, how exactly did the chairman let Edward become first in the level rankings.”

The Guardian Angel chuckled, “Do we even need to say it? It must be some unwritten rule.”

Everyone burst into laughter, and the enchantress, with a smile that was not quite a smile, said, “I think so too.”

Li Yao was speechless, but still asked, “Seductress, who do you think is prettier, you or Edward?”

“With pure looks alone, I think I have the upper hand,” Seductress confidently replied.

“There you have it, even you and I haven’t broken any unspoken rules, let alone an outsider. Besides, our guild is brimming with beauties. If I really had any interest, I wouldn’t go looking for wild game outside,” Li Yao said.

The usually silent Dark Grey also spoke up, “So that’s how you are, Chairman; your grand image has just come crashing down in my heart.”

Fireworks giggled lightly, “Chairman, I must remind you that I’m a widow, very easy to get along with.”

Mu Zi’s eyes immediately lit up, “Riding the clouds and driving the mist, how do I look to you, Sister Fireworks?”

“I’m not interested in little kids,” Fireworks said with a charming smile.

“That really hurts,” Mu Zi feigned heartache.

“Enough already, there are kids here,” Tong Tong rolled her eyes, “Can we focus on important matters? They’ve already started the fight, and they’re using Legion tactics, no less. It’s not going to be easy.”

Everyone’s attention quickly shifted, and their faces filled with surprise.

They saw the once clear-cut thousand-person team now shrouded in obscurity, as a giant Fire Bird blazed across the battlefield. The central team formed the body of the Fire Bird, with the two flanking teams shaping its wings, and the immense Fire Bird continuously crashed into the ranks of the Red Crystal Ants.

Edward’s side was equally formidable, as one massive, flame-engulfed, phantom gorilla after another also slammed into the Red Crystal Ants’ formation. It seemed like every fifty people made up one gorilla, which then formed a formation and charged wildly.

The smaller teams didn’t have such impressive moves at their disposal.

“Large-scale one-time Legion secret technique scrolls, these people are really willing to spend,” Seductress revealed a scroll in her hand, “Should we use one too?”

Li Yao waved his hand, “Not now, it’s too wasteful. By the way, did you bring the Ancient Dragon Water from Valentine’s Day and the Flame Drake meat, as well as the Acidic Scrolls that can temporarily change properties?”

“Each of us has an equal share of those items, here’s your part,” Seductress handed them to Li Yao. “But are these really useful?”

“Of course they are! The Ancient Dragon Water from Valentine’s Day has a special fragrance that can make the Red Crystal Ants a bit sluggish, while the Flame Drake meat might not boost properties much, but it gives our bodies flame energy. In case we get bitten, it won’t result in fire poisoning, and we can actually counterattack the Red Crystal Ants. As for the Acidic Scroll, it can add a certain Corrosion property to our attacks, which, with your power, will increase the damage dealt to the Red Crystal Ants.”

Li Yao also used a scroll, ate some grilled meat, and then distributed bombs and a mask to everyone, “These two types of bombs are hasty work of mine. One is a Fire Oil Bomb, basically equivalent to a sea of fire spell and also infused with a trace of my Flame of Life. It can spread the fire contagiously in an area. The other is a spiced Smoke Bomb, infused with Wild Demon Pepper Powder. Although this bomb doesn’t cause much damage, inhaling even a bit of Wild Demon Pepper will definitely make you cough violently and your eyes stream with tears. Hence, you must wear the masks that I’ve made.”

Donning a rabbit mask, Tong Tong excitedly took the bombs, “Hehe, why do I feel like these are more useful against humans than monsters?”

Li Yao said with a laugh, “They’re especially effective against ants. They might not be so good with other monsters, but against players, they’re first-rate.”

“Let’s give them a try then. If they’re really that good, I’ll replace my Smoke Bombs with these,” Seductress said.

“Alright, let’s also charge. This will be a moving battle, don’t stray from the group,” Li Yao said…
