MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 983 - Chapter 983 983

Chapter 983: 983 Chapter 983: 983 Summer sighed helplessly, “Can we stop bragging? Your Engineering is great, and maybe you’re a good commander too. Now you’re talking about combat prowess, what, next you’ll say you’re incredibly good at managing a guild too?”

Li Yao shrugged his shoulders, “Let’s just move on.”

The others chuckled lightly, clearly none of them believed such a person existed.

Although this team was very strong, continuously killing the fallen demons, the number of demon wizards wasn’t small, and the demons they killed would be resurrected after a moment.

These were relatively weaker fallen demons in terms of fighting power. If they were surrounded by other more powerful demons, they probably would have been wiped out long ago.

But fighting like this was extremely annoying since after killing the demons once, they couldn’t gain experience or other rewards from killing them again.

Essentially, they were constantly fighting in vain, so they didn’t want to get entangled in battles and instead, they pushed forward quickly.

The fallen demons outside were also continuously attacking the door, trying to smash it open and get in.

Soon, the group reached the third treasure chest, and this time it took Li Yao only five or six seconds to open it.

The team, which had been uncertain up to this point, was suddenly revitalized, knowing that they had always been stuck at the third treasure chest.

For this Hunter who managed to unlock the Engineer Lock as if it were just a game, it was a shock, and it further spurred their spirits.

Of course, they didn’t know that Li Yao had unlocked countless Engineer Locks in his previous life, he was extremely experienced, and when it came to the astronomy and geography of The Ancient God World, there was hardly anything he didn’t know.

In his previous life, Li Yao was constantly being hunted and was unable to complete certain team achievements for unlocking titles.

In pursuit of stronger titles, he spent an untold amount of time to earn the achievement of The Ancient God World Scholar, and at that time, he was the first player to complete it.

Later, he used the title of Scholar to read many historical tablets and documents that weren’t accessible to regular players, gaining a masterful understanding of the history of The Ancient Gods.

Later still, in search of more achievement points, he studied archeology and, over several years, he had almost traversed every archaeological site and ancient ruin in The Ancient God World.

Although he wasn’t the first to become an Archeological Master, he was definitely the player with the richest experience.

This resulted in Li Yao’s profound knowledge of The Ancient God World’s history and many secrets. Many skills promoted each other.

For example, the Scholar’s extensive reading could help players obtain numerous character clues and also make it easier for them to unlock historical mysteries to achieve archaeological accomplishments.

And knowing archeology revealed many secrets and ancient relics that could also help players discover mechanisms, further rune studies, and even relate to ancient engineering.

Advanced Engineering also helped in better exploring the various ruins of Goblins, Gnomes, Titans, and so forth.

All these skills were mutually reinforcing. Li Yao, as an individual player, had invested too much time and effort to become powerful.

But even so, his luck in his previous life was not good, and he didn’t manage to obtain a divine pet, hence he failed at Divine Enthronement. This was Li Yao’s greatest regret.

“Hey, hey, are you even listening to me? The eighth treasure chest is crucial; are you confident? It took you a whole minute to unlock the seventh chest; was it really that difficult?” Summer said, seeing that Li Yao was lost in thought and reminding him.

“Hmm, understanding the mechanics of the lock isn’t difficult. The key is that the previous lock’s challenge was indeed a bit unconventional. It took me a while to think of the solution, but solving the eighth won’t take as long. These things are random, after all; my luck shouldn’t be that bad,” Li Yao replied, coming back to his senses.

The last treasure chest was in the council hall. The pressure on the team was immense, but fortunately, the limited space in the council hall meant that the team could just manage to cope.

However, Bixuboxu did occasionally launch sneak attacks and even succeeded twice, instantly killing two team members, though thankfully there were combat revivals.

Yet the team became exceedingly cautious; if anyone else fell, they would have to wait a significant amount of time for another combat revival.

They were protecting Li Yao as he unlocked the chest, all to prevent him from being attacked and interrupted.

“Damn it, this boss is just too sneaky and disgusting.”

“The key is that the boss isn’t particularly strong; the main threat is just its Flame Explosion.”

“Anyway, if we can gather all the Rune Keys, I say we just kill this boss and get the first kill achievement.”

“It keeps changing, keeps changing, who knows which one it is, better to play it safe.”

“I also think we should get the first kill,” said Ling Feng, standing firm.

“Focus on the mission, there’s no need for complications,” said Summer lightly, believing that completing the mission was good enough, and the first kill achievement wasn’t so easy to obtain.

“If it were any other boss, we’d have no chance. Although this boss is cunning, its combat strength is weaker. Why not try our luck since we have such a good opportunity?” Ling Feng insisted.

The eyes of the hired team members lit up as they said, “Yes, when the time comes, Bing Yu just has to mark it, we’ll quickly take it down, and there should be no problem getting the first kill.”

“Exactly, this is the best chance to make a name for ourselves, and the rewards for the first kill are much better.” Ling Feng, seeing Summer’s frown, quickly continued, “Anyway, the mission is complete, and we can only submit it in the evening; we still have time now. It’s perfect for getting the first kill; isn’t that what playing games is all about?”

Click…

Just at that moment, Li Yao had unlocked the final chest, and the mission item was finally complete–a fully intact key shining with Rune light.

“Fine,” Summer relented on seeing that Bing Yu was also somewhat tempted.

Seeing the boss agreeing, the other team members were of course very excited.

Then, when Bixuboxu attempted a sneak attack, Bing Yu applied the Hunter’s mark, and everyone began to concentrate their fire.

The boss had a lot of health, but its combat strength wasn’t particularly strong; at least it was not as strong as other bosses of the same level and tier.

Soon the boss’s health had fallen to two-thirds, then the boss began to flee, and the team kept pushing forward, pursuing the boss.

The team had fought their way outside, and Bixuboxu was extremely angry, roaring continuously. All the Demons attacked the team furiously like they were on steroids, significantly increasing the pressure on the team.

Suddenly, moving forward became extremely difficult, but they had managed to get the boss’s health down to half. No one wanted to give up.

As casualties increased, by the time the team was down to seven members, Bixuboxu suddenly collapsed to the ground, and its health dropped even lower.

“Damn it, the boss changed again.”

“I marked it, it’s this one.”

“Damn it, its health is over two-thirds again, what the hell is this.”

The team continuously brought the boss’s health down to one-third, but the boss always switched bodies, and then seemed as vital as ever.

And the team’s combat strength kept decreasing.

“It’s over, we can’t even run now, just respawn at the graveyard,” Ling Feng finally despaired, looking at the endlessly reviving Demons.

It was simply impossible to kill them all; each time the boss was killed, the Demons’ combat strength increased, becoming more frenzied. One by one, team members fell, let alone the boss, they couldn’t even run away…
