MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Turmoil

Translator: 549690339

The 20-plus level elite, who was also the formidable son of Grugh, was facing these decaying Werewolves who were merely at the tenth level. The level gap was more than ten.

However, these decaying Werewolves didn’t back down either, directly unleashing a rain of arrows as soon as they were at a sufficient distance.

Although each hit only caused one point of damage, the large numbers were hard to ignore.

The son of Grugh was provoked. He had completely forgotten about Li Yao and made a mighty leap forward.

With a single swipe of his claw, a Werewolf was sent flying, its life points immediately falling to zero.

The son of Grugh plunged into the enemy formation like a tiger descending a mountain. Apart from the elites, the regular Werewolves were simply no match for him.

Though the son of Grugh was indeed fierce, there were only several hundred Werewolves, holding up wooden shields that immediately surrounded him.

Even with his dauntless spirit, he was still caught up in a bitter struggle.

Li Yao jumped down from a tree to find himself in this chaotic situation. He wasn’t far from them, but at the moment, neither the son of Grugh nor the Werewolves had time to pay him any mind.

Especially the Werewolves. Li Yao even saw one that was constantly howling something. Under his command, the melee Werewolves tightly entangled the son of Grugh.

The ranged hunters and shamans kept releasing spells to bombard the son of Grugh. Although the damage was low, they still annoyed him into a series of roars.

Li Yao stood a little farther away, so as not to be caught in the fray, and at the same time, he directed his gaze toward the outpost, indeed finding traces of Light Faction players.

Snap…

Suddenly, a masked thief behind Li Yao was frozen a few yards behind him. Li Yao turned around in surprise.

He saw a thief holding two daggers that glowed green, crouching as if he was about to unleash some skill.

However, at this moment, he was frozen, his eyes filled with confusion.

Li Yao smirked. He made it a habit to lay traps around him when he stood in one place for a long time. Hunters’ traps, once set, turn invisible, and they can come in handy unexpectedly.

Just like now. Although Li Yao seemed unguarded, he had set two traps behind him. Any thief trying to sneak attack would discover that they were still quite naive.

“Goodbye.”

Li Yao aimed his hand cannon at the head of the thief and pulled the trigger.

Boom…

-325

Instant kill!

The thief’s life points were instantly wiped out and his spirit turned into white

light, disappearing without a trace.

Snap…

The sound of the Poisonous Snake Trap getting something triggered resonated. Li Yao expertly reloaded, pulling the trigger once again.

Along with the sound of the hand cannon being fired, a white light emanated once more. The second thief trying to sneak attack Li Yao from another direction was instantly killed.

Just then, Li Yao heard a slight sound from behind him. Without a second thought, he immediately triggered Arcane Torrent.

The thief behind him had already stabbed his dagger into Li Yao’s back.

Stealing Skills: Activated while in stealth, causing the target to be stunned for three seconds after being hit.

-85-2-4-2-3-4…

Even though he broke the thief’s stealth and his stealing skill failed, this thief was extremely cunning; he instantly turned the failed stealing attempt into a backstab, causing a high damage number.

He even managed to infect Li Yao with a toxin, causing him to continuously lose health. However, Li Yao had low-level poison resistance, so the damage dealt was shockingly low.

This thief was incredibly formidable. Even Li Yao hadn’t been aware of him, and by the time he sensed something amiss, it was already too late. Even if he activated Shadow Roll, he would still be stunned.

Therefore, he decisively triggered Arcane Torrent to knock the thief out, naturally causing the stealing skill to fail.

However, this thief managed to react swiftly, immediately turning a failed stealing attempt into a backstab. Upon encountering such a formidable thief, Li Yao became slightly more serious.

“Damn, are you a tank hustler or a hunter?”

After launching his attack, the thief saw Li Yao’s health bar. He only managed to do a little over ninety damage, but he only managed to knock off a small chunk of it.

Little did he know, Li Yao already had several pieces of purple gear, each increasing his health by more than a hundred points. Coupled with his level ten base of over two hundred, ninety points of damage didn’t mean much to him.

“So, you just think I’m an easy target, is that the reason why you ambushed me?” Li Yao rolled out several Shadow Rolls to create distance between himself and the thief, while beginning to load his ammunition.

The thief stared at Li Yao, cold light flickering in his eyes. “Why ask why? You are part of the Dark Camp, and I am from the Light Faction. It’s normal for us to kill each other.”

As the thief spoke, he suddenly whirled around and hurled a flurry of throwing knives at Li Yao.

Li Yao leapt back, evading the area covered by the flying knives. These knives were meant to mark him.

“You are level ten. Why haven’t you summoned a pet to deal with me?”

“To deal with you, I don’t need one.”

Li Yao made a gesture tagging the thief with the Mark of Death.

“Arrogant.”

The thief said as he threw out a pitch-black piece of ammunition. Amid a cloud of black smoke, the thief’s figure disappeared. Even the Mark of Death was rendered useless.

“Tool Thief.’

Upon seeing the black object the thief dropped, Li Yao determined that he had already started his elite task for the Tool Thief class.

A Tool Thief specializes in using various tools, deft at evading and known for their unpredictable methods. Although their skill requirements aren’t top-tier, they need wits to excel. Without enough intelligence, even the best skills are useless in such a class.

Li Yao swiftly turned around and shot his hand cannon into the sky.

A downpour of arrows—Arrow Rain!

A barrage of artillery shells fell like raindrops. The thief had a rope in his hand, one end of which was tied to a big tree.

Being pulled by the rope, the thief was flying toward the tree — towards the direction where Li Yao was standing just now.

-350

“How could you have discovered me?”

The thief was on the verge of death, his eyes filled with disbelief, but it all happened in an instant.

Even as the Arrow Rain hit him, his figure disappeared once again.

Shadow Step!

Without thinking, Li Yao performed two consecutive Shadow Rolls. The thief’s dagger pierced through Li Yao’s afterimage, while the sword in Li Yao’s hand pierced the thief’s heart from the back.

-28

The thief slowly fell to the ground; his soul turned into a beam of white light.

“What happened? You’ve lost some health.” Zhao Lei was the first to notice Li Yao’s declining health bar.

“No big deal. Just three lame thieves tried to ambush me and I slaughtered them.” Li Yao said casually, then sat down and began to eat bread to recover his health.

“You only lost this much health after getting ambushed by three thieves…” Angel Schutz was speechless.

“Their skills were too poor.”

Li Yao said as he stood up, picked up the loot dropped by the thieves. He threw away the junks dropped by the other two thieves, but the Tool Thief had dropped something that pleasantly surprised Li Yao.

SkyFlying: Launches a magic hook lock to pull oneself to the hook’s location, maximum distance: 50 yards.

This was something that only a Tool Thief who had completed complex quests could get, and other players could only obtain these sorts of things from a Tool Thief.

Li Yao immediately fastened it onto his wrist guard. It was very convenient and definitely more useful than his crossbow, as he didn’t need to climb with this. It was a rare special tool; although it didn’t have any specific attributes, it was extremely practical.

However, Li Yao’s troubles were not over. A group of players slowly approached him.

“So, it wasn’t just a random ambush.”

Li Yao muttered to himself, then slowly stood up…..
