Chapter 991 - Chapter 991 Chapter 991 Dead Light Mother Tree

Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Dead Light Mother Tree Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Dead Light Mother Tree The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward, as the great ups and downs of life had come too quickly for Ling Feng to react.

After taking the first kill, Li Yao had returned the role of guild leader to the mellow Summer, with both Ling Feng and Bing Yu serving as deputy leaders.

Naturally, Li Yao was just an ordinary guild member now, so how could someone stop a deputy leader from kicking someone out?

In normal situations, if someone was kicked, worst case, one would just have to say some nice words, apologize, and invite them back, and it would be settled.

But now what was the situation? Damn, having them cooperate with Li Yao to complete the next task was just awkward.

Everyone was dumbfounded, neither the mellow Summer nor Bing Yu knew what to say, and Ling Feng was completely baffled.

The rest were hired players; they were even less inclined to say anything.

“Dear friend, I won’t hide it from you, I’ve made a big discovery in Tristram, about rune engineering. My friend, I greatly admire your research on runes. When the time comes, I invite you to join the research, and we will share the results. How does that sound?” The grandmaster didn’t care about the others’ expressions and continued to speak amiably to Li Yao.

If Li Yao didn’t know the backstory of this NPC, he might have truly believed in his grand and magnificent offer, given such an awesome NPC treating you as a friend, no player would refuse.

Looking at the expressions of the other players, one could tell they were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Although they had received the tasks, the master did not show them any good expressions; he had even warned them last time that if they failed to complete them, he would cancel their commission. Now, however, he treated Li Yao completely differently, making them feel the enormous gap between people.

Of course, knowing the NPC’s backstory, Li Yao naturally wouldn’t be fooled but pretended to be very excited and agreed, then went to find the entrance to Tristram.

After saying goodbye, Li Yao left the cave, and the others followed, each hesitating to speak.

The situation was really hard to describe, and Ling Feng was still in turmoil.

They had invested too much in this task, and to have it cut off now was practically lethal.

Li Yao wasn’t an unempathetic person. He turned around and said, “Finding people by myself is troublesome and there’s not enough time. Let’s do this task together. However, to prevent being kicked out of the team at a critical moment again, I’ll create the team. If you’re willing, accept my invitation.”

The mellow Summer sighed in relief and said, “Thank you.”

Saying this, she immediately disbanded her own team, and then they all joined Starfire’s team.

“Just you as the leader, with no deputy, how will you manage the black gold and equipment?” Ling Feng said, very unwillingly.

“If you don’t trust me, you can leave the team,” Li Yao turned and began walking towards the mission site.

“Enough, just stop talking,” said the mellow Summer, holding back her anger. “No matter what others think, I trust the hunter’s character.” Ling Feng was smart before, she thought, so why was he acting like this today? His character and behavior had completely overturned her understanding.

“I trust him too,” Bing Yu added.

The others were speechless; they were hired, and the spoils of battle were none of their business. In reality, it was just a matter between the three employers, and now it seemed, Li Yao was included too.

“But this is our task, why should someone else lead it? This makes no sense.” Ling Feng saw that the mellow Summer actually trusted Li Yao, whom she just met, and argued against her, becoming even more furious.

“Now the task is mine. If you have a problem, go complain to the NPC–I’m also helpless here,” Li Yao shrugged.

Ah pooh…

Helpless my ass! Ling Feng wanted to say something, but seeing both women glaring at him, he suddenly became quiet. Moreover, reason told him that anything he said now would be useless.

“For this step, we need to uncover the city shielded by magic, and it’s not on this map, so we need to speed up,”

Li Yao immediately summoned his mount, the Kodo beast. Bing Yu, without saying a word, directly mounted her Mechanical Tyrannosaurus.

Starfire just summoned an ordinary warhorse, as did Ling Feng.

The three of them were not short of money in reality. Although they couldn’t get premium mounts, the ordinary ones were easy enough to acquire. All it took was money.

It was almost the same for the people in the studio who wanted leveling services; having a mount was essential.

“We’ve been to this place before; it’s a Stone Forest, and there are terrifying monsters there,” Starfire said, frowning as she looked at the map annotations.

“We’ll figure it out when we get there,” Li Yao said comfortably, lying on the back of the Kodo beast. “Since you all know the way, I won’t lead. I’ll have the Kodo beast follow you. I’m going to take a nap. Make sure to wake me up when we arrive.”

Having said that, Li Yao immediately closed his eyes.

The others were speechless, not knowing how Li Yao had managed to get a Kodo beast, but just by looking at it, they knew it was far superior to their mounts.

“Damn it, showing off just because he has a good mount,” Kitty muttered, although she couldn’t help but envy the Kodo beast.

This was simply a must-have for the lazy. By following the team and having someone lead the way, one could take a nap. Known to be fun yet expensive, the size of the map in the “Old Gods” game was huge, and just traveling was utterly boring.

Having a mount was indeed impressive; damn it, not only stylish but also practical.

Originally, these low-level mounts were uncomfortable, not even equipped with better saddles or stirrups, making the ride very unpleasant, and even more so in wind and snow.

Especially when someone was snuggled up sleeping in a sleeping bag alone, they felt utterly miserable.

Therefore, their spirits were not high along the way.

When they arrived at their destination, it was completely dark.

“Hey, hey, lazy pig, you’ve slept half the day; how come you’re still not awake? We’ve arrived,” Kitty said, rapping Li Yao’s sleeping bag with the weapon in her hand.

“All right, stop that. Are you calling me or trying to kill me?” Li Yao emerged from the sleeping bag, stretching languidly: “Ah, that was comfortable. Oh, it’s already dark.”

“Damn it, you’re purposely annoying us, right? We’ve been in the cold wind all the way,” Kitty rolled her eyes.

“It’s great. If I hadn’t been so sleepy, I’d have joined you in enjoying the wind. I love the wind,” Li Yao said with a smile as he looked into the distance.

“Go die,” Kitty said through gritted teeth.

“Look, that reflective forest over there is the entrance to the Stone Forest,” Starfire said as Li Yao approached.

“Dead Light Mother Tree, interesting,” Li Yao squinted his eyes.

“It looks like a forest, but it’s actually one tree. And it’s infested with a large number of rotten crows, which are very troublesome, and there are also the corrupted ones. To get through here, we must clear a path, which is a bit difficult,” Starfire explained. “It seems we should wait until tomorrow.”

“Hehe, let’s see how you sleep later,” Kitty teased.

Li Yao smiled, “On the contrary, it’s only at night that we have a chance to get through.”…
