Chapter 159: Walking the Dog (Additional updates with 500 monthly tickets)
“Still coming at me, huh? Then you’re gonna get it.” Li Yao notched his bow once again.
Concussive Shot!
Happily Fruity Bean’s count dropped in an instant.
Because of the Hand of Protection, he hadn’t lost any hit points, but this effect doesn’t make him immune to control effects.
Next in line was Li Yao’s Charged Arrow, which didn’t cause any harm each time, but every arrow caused Happily Fruity Bean to step back a few paces.
Happily Fruity Bean looked unhappy. His Hand of Protection had already lasted for ten seconds, but he was backed into the Spike Trap again. His pride was really on the line.
The audience was having a great time watching, this was a real Hunter, aggravating others so much they screamed, that others could not touch him. Nothing could be more vexing than this.
Elite gamers outside the crevice were torn. They wanted to seize the opportunity to enter, but the sight of bodies strewn around the tunnel made them lose courage.
Arrow Rain, Exploding Sheep, Dizzy Hand Grenade, in such a confined space, they were unusually effective, there was no room to avoid them in the narrow passage.
Moreover, the damage caused was horrifying. Those who had piled in earlier were heavy blooded and high defense professions, yet they still fell flat. It must be even worse for physically weaker professions. Arrow Rain and Dizzy Hand Grenades alone would be enough for them.
“Give me five yards and I’ll sanctify you,” Happily Fruity Bean roared, finding himself between a rock and a hard place.
He’s never held back from player killing (PKing), least of all against Hunters. The Hunters he picked on were powerless under his assault. They weren’t trash professions, but in his view, the current Hunters were garbage players.
Originally, he admired Li Yao’s skills. But it was only admiration. Flashy as it was, it felt unreal – he thought Li Yao was just showing off.
However, when he finally faced Li Yao, he felt powerless. The feeling of not being able to touch his opponent was driving him mad.
“Is that so? I’ll wait for you for a few seconds to sanctify me.” Li Yao launched his Charged Shot while laughing.
“You’re too arrogant.” Happily Fruity Bean’s eyes were practically bleeding.
In his view, Li Yao was just being dismissive; he wasn’t even going all out against him. He didn’t consider him a threat, as long as he took one more step, he would be in range of his Sanction Hammer.
However, Li Yao would not risk his life jokingly. Happily Fruity Bean’s body froze as a Mechanical Snake coiled around his legs.
“Gave you the chance, but you couldn’t do it.” Li Yao’s Charged Arrow fired again.
Happily Fruity Bean, his legs bound, was knocked down. Before he could get
up, a Death Black Arrow and a Concussive shot already hovered above his head.
Immediately after he got up, his speed was incredibly slow.
Li Yao kept attacking while retreating, maintaining the same distance from Happily Fruity Bean.
“Poor thing, a short-legged Knight picking on an average Hunter is fine, why mess with the Prairie Fire God? Happy always looks down on others, he’s done for this time.” KB said, enjoying Happy’s misfortune.
“You just enjoy his misfortune.” Xiao Ze shook his head.
“I have no choice, it’s not as if I can be the only one that suffers, right?” Seeing Happily Fruity Bean’s Hand of Protection disappearing and still not being able to touch Li Yao, KB was grinning from ear to ear.
“Why doesn’t this Paladin use any skills?” Zhao Li asked curiously: “Don’t Paladins also have long-range skills?”
“Yes, paladins do have long-range skills, but to be precise, they have mid-short range skills. Generally around 15 to 30 yards away. But look, Prairie Fire God always keeps more than 30 yards away from Happy” Xiao Ze explained.
“I see, so doesn’t that mean this Knight is going to die to kiting?” Zhao Li asked.
“Dying to normal kiting isn’t a big deal, but look at Happy’s unpleasant face and you’ll know he’s feeling worse than having a hot turd, do you know why?” KB responded with his own question.
“Why?” Zhao Li was curious: “Prairie Fire God is so strong, he’s already killed so many people, dying doesn’t bring shame, right?”
“Sigh, yes, Prairie Fire God is too powerful. There’s no shame in dying by his hand, but you have to understand. Prairie Fire God always keeps a distance of 30 yards, why is that? Can’t he move further or faster? No, let’s not even mention that Prairie Fire God still has backflip and Shadow Roll. Just the slowed down target from Concussive Shot alone allows him to create greater distance.” KB explained.
Seeing Zhao Li’s confusion, Xiao Ze added with a helpless smile, “Prairie Fire has many strengths, and his techniques are beyond question. He just loves to toy with his opponents. Knights are essentially short-legged. Happy’s Hand of Protection, although long-lasting, was still forcefully dragged out by him over time. Then look again, Happy always feels that if he takes one step, he can cast Sanction Hammer to stun Prairie Fire, but he’s just one step short no matter what. It’s as though they always lack that one step. No wonder Happy’s furious.
Upon hearing the commentator’s explanation, the audience was in an uproar followed by fits of laughter. This Prairie Fire God was way too wicked.
No wonder Happy was so angry.
“Don’t disturb me when I’m walking my dog.” Li Yao caught a glimpse of more gamers entering the crevice and immediately unleashed an Arrow Rain. An Exploding Sheep also wobbled past the Spike Trap area, scaring the incoming gamers into hastily turning back.
Li Yao’s attack was terrifying. His AoE (Area of Effect) damage could instantly wipe out over half of a physical weaker’s health. How are they supposed to play?
“Dammit, walk your sister!” Happily Fruity Bean felt he had been patient enough, but was going crazy over Li Yao’s “Don’t disturb me while I’m walking my dog”.
“So audacious, daring to heal right in front of me.” The sight of Happily Fruity Bean stopping to heal stopped Li Yao in his tracks. “You have no Shield while healing. Goodbye.”
Li Yao halted and loosed an arrow without looking back. Happily Fruity Bean was helpless, even though he kept blocking arrows with his shield, Li Yao’s damage output was still too high, and he couldn’t hold out for long.
Not healing was certain death, but the area had no shelter. If he turned and ran, he’d die even faster.
In a serious dilemma with neither forward nor backward being options, Happily Fruity Bean felt like crying. Dammit, he had crushed so many Hunters, why had he never before encountered one as infuriating as Li Yao?
Apart from defensive and healing skills, he couldn’t launch a single attack and was almost injured on the inside.
An arrow pierced through Happily Fruity Bean’s throat as he prayed for a Holy Light heal. His health was already low and without his shield blocking, he was hit squarely and was instantly killed.
With his pride, he couldn’t bring himself to beg for mercy. Of course, begging had no use, so he gladly embraced death.
Thump…
His body shattered as well, leaving a shield-wielding skeleton. This was the second skeleton he had summoned. Like the first one, the skeleton scrambled off to the side, where the outside gamers could not see it.
“What do we do?”
At this point, there were two to three hundred gamers outside…
