Chapter 154: The Brain Eater (In Sanskrit, a shallow chant commands ten thousand rewards)
If Li Yao planned to turn this place into a hunting ground, the first thing he needed to do was to clear the area of the monsters. They could hinder operations.
Li Yao knew that he would be at odds with the world if he decided to level up by killing monsters, but he knew the queen’s personality too well.
Even though the monsters in MO Hai City were twisted, Li Yao believed that with his current foundation, he would always find suitable monsters to kill.
But there was a problem. Even if he was the top scorer, the camp leaders would not go back on their word and the prize would still be his. However, all impression points would be lost.
The reason they conducted this test was to see who would emerge as a potential leader. They wanted to see the birth of a bug king, not someone who kept his head down and only hunted monsters.
In Li Yao’s view, leaving a good impression on these leaders was even more important than the Angel’s Wing.
And considering the queen’s personality, if he were to really do this, he could basically forget about learning any legacy from her.
The reason the leaders wanted to test him was to see his potential and if he could carve out a path of blood.
So since the beginning of the competition, he had only one option – to forge ahead and carve out a new world.
Li Yao was standing at the headquarters’ highest point. Although other parts of the city were devastated, it was quite intact here, covered in vegetation, showing that only the finest materials were used here.
It took Li Yao almost five minutes to imprint the situation of the mansion in his mind while he brainstormed rapidly to determine the feasibility of his plan and how to deal with sudden situations.
“Prairie Fire God has been standing there for five minutes, what’s he doing?” Xiao Ze asked in confusion because Li Yao had not taken any action and was just standing there.
“It seems like he’s turned this nobility’s manor into a battlefield,” KB mused after some thought.
“Prairie Fire God really has guts. Does he know that many players are converging toward his direction no matter how far away they are?” Xiao Ze said.
Directors constantly switched between scenes that clearly showed countless players rushing towards Li Yao’s coordinates at the place where he had killed a warrior and priest.
Some players who were nearby had already arrived at the coordinates, and they started to search for Li Yao’s whereabouts.
The public channel was a hub for information about the whereabouts of Prairie Fire. Many players were combing their efforts to find Li Yao’s location.
They thought that even if Li Yao walked away, he couldn’t go far. It was unknown how many players were gathering from all directions.
So they thought that Li Yao was caught like a turtle in a jar, they just needed to uncover him, sooner or later.
Of course, there were also players who were not interested in Li Yao; there were quite a lot of them.
They were interested in points. Some acquainted players teamed up and started hunting players in a suitable place.
And such players were not a small number. Due to the congregation of players, it became chaotic in no time.
Xia Yao led one of the most prominent squads among them.
Xia Yao’s elite profession was pet training; in this case, the undead pets themselves were the elite. She could summon elite level undead pets; not just one. It wasn’t hard to imagine her summoning a Skeleton Sea one day.
Daimeng Tongtong’s elite profession was Totem Sa, a specialist in various totems. He was good at control, output, healing, and had numerous output totems.
Tongtong’s sister-in-law, Li Jie, was an ice mage. She almost gave up any skills related to fire and specialized in ice magic. Even among ice magic professions, her level of control was top-notch.
Da Vinci. a full-time supporting role, was a Bard. He was skilled in various types of enhancement magic. He could heal, add shields, increase attributes, and his attack was not strong, but both his self-protection skills and the contribution to the team were tremendous.
At first glance, their team seemed to have no close combat professions, which was a major weakness. But Xia Yao’s skeletons and Li Jie’s control made up for everything.
When they encountered a team of players, they were not afraid. Their close combat characters were often surrounded by skeletons.
Even if the melee broke through the skeleton’s blockade, Li Jie’s control would follow.
Teams with a thief also had no way out. The thieves couldn’t kill anyone in one shot.
Da Vinci’s shields and healing were so annoying that they left the ambush thieves powerless.
And even if some thieves targeted Da Vinci, Daimeng Tongtong’s control totem, healing totem, and various control totems made them impermeable like iron buckets.
After once again dealing with a squad that had tried to attack them, Daimeng Tongtong and Da Vinci collected the spoils while cautiously monitoring the situation around them.
“I wonder how big brother is doing.” Daimeng Tongtong said worriedly.
Da Vinci shared the attributes of the equipment he had picked up, saying,
“Those looking for him are too many. Many people know that we’re with Prairie Fire. They attack as soon as they see us.”
“As long as we don’t face twice as many enemies, they can’t do anything to us,” said Xia Yao.
“Since you all are worried about him, then we should go take a look,” said Li Jie.
“Unless we hide in a corner, it’s all the same to us.”
“Okay, okay, let’s all put on our cloaks. Let’s not attack them for now. We can mix into their team and see how it goes,” Daimeng Tongtong said excitedly.
“Yes, we can try. If it doesn’t work, we can think of something else,” Xia Yao agreed.
Everyone put on their cloaks. As more players gathered, the general scarcity of monsters had been cleared out. Other than enemies on the roof, they didn’t have to worry about the monsters below, which made it much safer.
Li Yao didn’t care about the situation outside. He was clearing the places that needed to be cleared.
There were quite a few monsters in the mansion. He didn’t have time to clear them all out and chose some places that were necessary for his plan.
Devour Brain Plasma

Note: They used to be the beautiful maids of the great duke’s mansion. The demonic torrent didn’t destroy them, but a special curse caused them to mutate horribly.
Li Yao could even see their shattered maid uniforms, but their heads were completely unrecognizable, as if they had grown an octopus tentacle filled with mucus that kept writhing like a snake. It was highly nauseating.
Although Li Yao was careful, he was still ambushed by one of the “Devour Brain Plasma” monsters when he turned a corner. Luckily, he had a lot of health and didn’t die, but it was disgusting.
He was all covered in mucus. That’s why he detested these special and mutated monsters. Sometimes it was impossible to defend against them. Even when he was invisible, they still detected him.
The audience burst into laughter. It was the first time they saw Li Yao in such a plight…
