Chapter 960 - Chapter 960 Chapter 960 Tide Hunter

Chapter 960: Chapter 960 Tide Hunter Chapter 960: Chapter 960 Tide Hunter After half an hour of fierce fighting, the situation had become extremely perilous.

The number of Starfire members was less than half, and those defending the city walls were stretched to their limits, their faces filled with exhaustion from the high-intensity combat.

Yet the will to fight among the members of Starfire remained fiercely strong, with not a hint of retreat.

“We’re running low on artillery shells and strong crossbows,” the Unparalleled Beauty said to Li Yao.

Li Yao was hunting down players who tried to climb the city wall at the front of the battlefield, singlehandedly guarding a long stretch of wall, allowing no one the chance to scale it.

Li Yao’s attacks were terribly fearsome, within ten minutes under his strong crossbow, those priests attacking the city wall had retreated, daring not to approach any closer, having no luck at all against Li Yao’s crossbow arrows.

Although the attack on the water was fierce, it seemed as if they were truly preparing something, and in reality, the pressure wasn’t that great anymore.

So Li Yao went directly to the Stone City Wall, taking up a position in an Arrow Tower, where his attack range and strength were unparalleled. Coupled with the Thousand Mechanisms Bow, which could instantly kill anyone, he firmly guarded this area.

“How much longer can we hold, artillery-wise? We can probably last another half hour but the barrels are overheating,” said the Unparalleled Beauty.

“They’re going to be abandoned anyway, let them overheat. As long as it doesn’t explode the moment we load a shell, keep firing. How much longer can we use the strong crossbows?”

“The strong crossbows themselves are fine, but we’re running low on supply, it’s been depleted too quickly. The carrying capacity of the boats we purchased was limited. We thought it would be enough, but it seems we were slightly short,” the Unparalleled Beauty said with a flicker of concern in her eyes.

“It’s fine, I suspect the Lizardmen are preparing some kind of powerful move. We’re also ready to retreat at any moment, so right now, go all out with firepower, don’t bother saving any ammunition. Prioritize lethality,” Li Yao said resolutely.

“Alright then,” the Unparalleled Beauty turned, about to leave, then as if remembering something, she said, “If we play our trump card, I think we can hold on.”

Li Yao shook his head and said, “Now is not the time to use it, and it is not the best moment. You will understand my plan once we retreat.”

“I hope you’re right,” the Beauty said, her face full of worry. In her view, if Starfire used that trump card, they could definitely continue to hold their ground and even achieve victory in the defense, as the trump card could completely turn the tide.

She really did not understand why Li Yao was still holding back instead of using it.

However, even though Li Yao did not handle the specific execution and management of the guild’s affairs, he planned the overall direction and policies, as it had always been. She had made a suggestion, but since Li Yao thought it wasn’t feasible, she could only hope that Li Yao’s plan was better.

Li Yao shook his head, not offering any explanation. It wasn’t that he wanted to keep them in suspense, but rather the plan was too crazy, and he feared scaring everyone if he revealed it.

Just then, the voice of the Lizardman Shaman came from a distance: “Prairie Fire, come forth. Let me show you what true devastation is. I want you to witness with your own eyes the destruction of your own guild.”

Following the Shaman’s words, everyone heard a violent noise, like the rush of a tide.

The members of Starfire atop the wooden city wall all cried out in shock, and the audience watching the live broadcast also turned their attention this way, equally horrified.

Li Yao directly activated his wings and flew to the wooden city wall, loudly saying, “Everyone take your positions, leave this place to me.”

Although he said this, a solemn expression also appeared on Li Yao’s face.

In the distance on the great river, a massive wave rose swiftly, growing higher and higher, already towering over the wooden city wall from afar.

Below the giant wave, there was an eerie Array, with many naga, lizardmen, and murloc Priests joining together to form a huge Array shining with blue light.

The neat chanting of spells echoed across the river; with the power of Magic, the wave continued to rise higher and pulled in a great amount of seawater, as if compressing and condensing continuously, making the wave even more crystal clear.

“Prairie Fire, open your eyes wide and watch how your so-called impregnable stronghold is breached,” a Lizardman Shaman said, grasping a blue Bead that swirled like a vortex, seemingly pulling the entire wave that looked like blue Crystal.

“Hunter’s Essence, you actually managed to procure such a thing, a dark gold, one-time-use item, you really are willing to spend,” Li Yao’s pupils slightly contracted, because with the help of the Titan’s Eye, he recognized it instantly.

The Tidestalker, Neptulon, is the overlord of the entire ocean, a Water Element Demigod, who commands the limitless oceans of The Ancient God World.

One of the four elemental Demigods of the Ancient Gods, he once led the Water Element Legion under the Ancient Gods’ banner, fighting and waging war against the Temple of a Thousand Gods’ army, led by the Titans.

However, later on, the Tidestalker turned the tide, defected to the Temple of a Thousand Gods, and even convinced the Stonemother, the ruler of the Deep Rock Continent’s Earth Elemental Plane, to switch sides.

This is why the Ancient Gods were later imprisoned, the elemental Demigods of fire and wind were sealed within their respective Elemental Planes, with the Stonemother remaining silent and hidden for tens of thousands of years–

Only the Tidestalker remained exceedingly active, leaving behind one legend after another.

The Hunter’s Essence is the quintessence left behind when the Tidestalker split his own incarnations among various Races and traveled across the continents; even though these are mere remnants of his body, they still possess very special abilities.

Such a precious item is extremely valuable even after reaching max level. Li Yao never imagined that the other party would actually have such a thing and even use it as a one-time consumable for casting spells.

Li Yao felt the pang of loss and pity. If it had been properly utilized, a dark gold Magic Wand of the ice series infused with such a thing would inevitably be elevated to the rank of a top legend, to call it a true Demigod Artifact wouldn’t be an overstatement. If the Great Mages of Dalaran saw this, they would certainly go mad with desire.

“Damn it, you profligate, you’re practically wasting it by using it like this, not even bringing forth one ten-thousandth of its value,” Li Yao finally couldn’t hold back.

“Profligate? Stop trying to fool us. It’s just something we got from killing a sea monster boss in a secret realm at the bottom of the ocean during a mission. Although it’s a dark gold material, today, if we can annihilate you and your Starfire behind you, it will all be worth it. Then, which other guilds on Earth will be able to stop us from taking over the territory?” the Lizardman Shaman revealed their plan.

Li Yao was speechless; if he had the Hunter’s Essence, he could have incorporated it into the forging of the Thousand Mechanisms Bow, which would have made it far more than just an ordinary dark gold item. Li Yao could only feel inwardly regretful; even with a second life, he could not collect all the desirable items in the world.

“Are you ready to face defeat? I’m about to trigger it,” the Lizardman Shaman suddenly urged the Bead in his hand, and the Priests within the giant Array simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which merged into the Array, causing the blue light to flash across the sky…
