Chapter 998: Chapter 998: Delve Deeply Chapter 998: Chapter 998: Delve Deeply “Stop kidding, you make it sound so real,” Summer said indifferently, still unable to see anything special about the tree trunk.

“I’m serious,” Li Yao’s eyes suddenly flashed several times. “See? This is special equipment. We are still being surrounded; I need your cooperation to make it work.”

The two women nodded in realization. They had joined the game later. Although they had caught up in levels and equipment, their foundation was still lacking.

They had heard of these special equipments but had never actually managed to acquire any. After all, these items were extremely precious. The auction house only sold some common special equipment with meager attribute bonuses, but they were prohibitively expensive, leaving no desire to purchase them.

“Alright, but what can we do about it? The height is at least a hundred yards; we can’t climb up there,” Summer said doubtfully.

“That’s where I come in; if you cooperate, it will be easy to get up,” Li Yao glanced up at the tree canopy. “Here’s the plan: I’ll use the Hook-lock Arrow to take Summer up first. Bing Yu, you go all out with firepower to cover us. Once we’re up, Summer will cover from above. Listen to my command, and we will throw Flash Bombs together.”

“With a flash bomb exploding everywhere, can you still see what’s above?” Summer raised another concern. Given the dense foliage and the many carrion crows around, even careful aiming would be extremely challenging. Although Flash Bombs wouldn’t blind them, they would still lose some of their vision.

“Don’t worry about that; I have my ways,” Li Yao said as he switched the form of his arrows. In his mind, he rapidly revisited and simulated the plan: “Alright, once Summer throws the Flash Bomb, grab onto my shoulder.”

The two women nodded; they weren’t the kind to fuss.

“Now, throw!”

Li Yao shouted abruptly, and on his command, all three hurled their Flash Bombs into the air.

As the three streaks of light appeared, Summer immediately grabbed onto Li Yao’s shoulders, and then Li Yao abruptly pulled the trigger.

Pop…

The arrow shot out swiftly, followed by a loud pop. Then, Bing Yu saw the figures of Li Yao and Summer soaring into the sky.

At that instant, Bing Yu also went all out, firing a barrage of arrows in a frantic attack at the crows trying to reach Li Yao and Summer.

The two soared like arrows released from a bowstring. Summer leaned against Li Yao’s back and quickly cast Time Shield for both of them, and provided healing.

Meanwhile, Li Yao, holding onto the rapidly ascending rope with one hand, threw out four Small Sickles with the other hand. The Sickles spun wildly, bringing up a rain of blood before flying right back in front of Li Yao.

As they neared the trunk, Li Yao swiftly retracted his Sickles.

“Let go now,” Li Yao ordered.

There they were, hundreds of yards high, directly below the massive tree trunk. Letting go would surely lead to their deaths.

But Summer didn’t hesitate at all and immediately released her grip on Li Yao.

A flash of admiration crossed Li Yao’s eyes; such decisive women were indeed rare.

Then a strand of Magic Spider Silk stuck to the huge main trunk, lifting Li Yao’s body a bit higher.

He followed with a Shadow Roll to the top of the trunk.

“Faith Leap!” Li Yao grabbed a branch, throwing out another Sickle with his other hand.

At that moment, Summer’s upward force had faded, and she was starting to descend, but hearing Li Yao’s command, her eyes lit up, suddenly realizing Li Yao’s plan. She activated a skill.

Her time flashed past, showing a shadow of wings. Li Yao felt a strong pulling force, but he was firmly holding on to the branch, unmoved.

However, Summer was pulled directly up to Li Yao. He quickly blocked her waist and pulled her to the top of the trunk with force.

“Now you cover me while I go down and get Bing Yu,” Li Yao said as he tied a piece of rope around a tree branch.

He then flipped downward and during his descent, Li Yao wasn’t idle – he initiated a scatter-shot, a barrage of arrows that continuously took down the crows weakened by the flash bomb.

Just as he was about to land, Li Yao performed a Shadow Roll to diffuse the impact.

The sequence of actions was too fast to follow, and they had not expected there to be such impressive maneuvers.

Whether it was Li Yao’s precise Hook-lock Arrow, the brilliant teamwork as they ascended, or the safe landing amidst the slaughter, all their movements flowed naturally and seamlessly, showing no hint of hesitation or awkwardness.

Even the usually indifferent Bing Yu, seeing Li Yao land beside her, said, “Are you even human?”

“Less talking, hurry up,” Li Yao rolled his eyes.

Bing Yu nodded, grabbed Li Yao’s shoulder, leaned on his back, and a hand crossbow appeared in her other hand.

“Not bad, good thinking. We’ll use Firepower Torrent together when we ascend,” Li Yao said as he shot another Hook-lock Arrow, and their bodies soared into the air.

However, unlike last time, their bodies kept spinning as they rose, and circles of arrows followed them into the sky.

Many crows were killed as they ascended.

When they reached the top, Li Yao grabbed Bing Yu, “Faith Leap!”

Bing Yu was immediately pulled by the force of Faith Leap to where Li Yao was holding onto a tree branch.

Li Yao, adhering to the same method, attached himself higher up on the tree trunk with Magic Spider Silk.

This branch was also quite large, resembling a vast overpass. Four or five carriages could run side by side on it without any issue.

“What’s the use of going up here, are we supposed to keep going up?”

The three formed a formation and summoned their pets, and Bing Yu asked.

“No need to, you see that tree hole over there?” Li Yao pointed to a distance and said.

So, the three of them headed toward the tree hole. Bing Yu, smiling, said, “So, how about it? My sister Bing Yu’s chest is quite full and bouncy, right? You seemed reluctant to let go.”

Bing Yu was startled, then a blush swept across her frosty face. Physical contact was inevitable, and all three had tacitly said nothing.

Li Yao paused and with a half-smile said, “Yours isn’t bad either.”

“Pervert,” Bing Yu’s face also reddened.

Li Yao shrugged, and then all three fell silent; Li Yao let out a breath. If it weren’t for the tempting World-level Chief, he really wouldn’t have wanted to get involved in such awkward situations.

After a while, they finally arrived inside the tree hole, and the rotten crows only dared to circle and cry outside the hole, not daring to enter.

The three moved deeper without any hindrance.

“Why aren’t there any monsters?” Bing Yu asked.

Li Yao replied, “Didn’t I tell you, the Mother Tree is dormant now. If you had come during the day, you would know what despair means. Coming here is like entering the world of the Mother Tree, and even a World-level Chief would be helpless.”…
