Chapter 266: Hatred Value (Dragon’s Reverse Scale: cute owner adds more 9/10)
Li Yao played a guerrilla war with the magicians in the puddles and caves, fully embodying the essence of retreating when the enemy advances and harassing when the enemy retreats.
In this way, although the Silver Heroes around Li Yao couldn’t hold on, at least the magicians in the first cave were all killed by him.
“System: You triggered a special ability in a special scene. By continuously hunting demons, you feel an unusual power engulfing you. You suddenly discovered that hatred for demons has long been lurking in your ancestral bloodline. You have obtained the power of hatred.”
“System: You are instilled with the power of hatred, the hatred system is activated, currently hatred level is 5/5, recovering one point of hatred level every 10 seconds. Skills consume mana and corresponding hatred level, attack increased by 5%.”
Li Yao was stunned, then greatly overjoyed.
The hatred value is an ability unlocked by hunters when they change their class to Demon Hunters, an elite profession. Hatred is the energy system of Demon Hunters.
However, the hatred value that boosts the magic of hunting demons is rather powerful, whereas the effect of this unexpectedly triggered hatred system is much weaker.
After changing class to Demon Hunter, the hatred value is one hundred, and the attribute bonus is insane. In the early stage, a Demon Hunter is a real firepower torrent turret.
A common beginner hunter either chooses an elite profession like Beast King, relies on pets, or chooses a Demon Hunter. But a Demon Hunter requires a great deal of equipment support to exert its full power. At the beginning, they can only be used as stationary turrets for a short period of time, sacrificing mobility.
The hatred system that Li Yao has opened is relatively inferior. It only starts with five points of hatred, with only a 1 point recovery every 10 seconds, and a slight 5% damage bonus, which seems trivial. After all, some skills consume more than 1 point of hatred.
But Li Yao knows clearly that this system can grow. When Li Yao has killed a thousand demons, the system will be further strengthened.
After a few upgrades, this skill will be powerful. Even if Li Yao gives up being a Dark Ranger and changes his class to a Demon Hunter, this hatred limit and damage bonus will stack.
In his previous life, no one really understood how this system was triggered. They only knew what demons triggered it, but some Demon Hunters didn’t trigger this system after years of demon hunting and leveling up, which was absolutely pitiful. It was reviewed by players as the hardest and most difficult condition to trigger.
Li Yao put down his thoughts and began to probe. He couldn’t see how many magma caves there were.
Li Yao hadn’t cleared this dungeon before and didn’t know that he would kill so many monsters the first time he conquered it. But he couldn’t enter the other two entrances, so he had to keep killing all the way.
At first, Li Yao kept killing in a few magma caves using the migration mode. With the expansion of space, he finally had room to move around.
Li Yao also gradually reached the limit of the number of Silver Hero Skeletons. The number of cave magicians in the back was increasing.
“System: You have killed a thousand demon creatures. The hatred system is strengthened. The constant will is 10/10. Every 8 seconds, 1 point of hatred is recovered, and damage is increased by 8%.”
Then Li Yao killed a few thousand demons, but still didn’t get any enhancement prompts. But in the blink of an eye, a day passed. Day and night were no different here.
Apart from eating and resting, Li Yao spent most of his time clearing out the Evil Shadow Sorcerers in a magma cave.
The next day, Li Yao received a private chat from Tongtong.
“Hehe, since you didn’t come, we hit the jackpot this time.”
Li Yao laughed and said, “What skills did you get that made you so happy?”
“You guess.” Dumbstruck Tongtong couldn’t contain her excitement.
“Well, let me guess, um, the special skill of an Elemental Shaman. Considering your current level, if it’s an NPC reward, it should be calling the Ghost Wolf, right?” Li Yao pondered and said.
“You’re so boring, how did you guess it right away?” Dumbstruck Tongtong said, “But there’s more. I also learned how to transform into a Ghost Wolf. I’ll definitely run faster than you next time.”
“Yes, yes, Tongtong is definitely the best.” Li Yao asked, “What about the others?”
The Soul Wolf transformation indeed is a good escaping skill. It’s similar to the Druid’s travel form transforming into a Money Leopard, very fast.
The Shaman’s Ghost Wolf transformation has a certain stealth ability and also two skill attacks. Summoning the Ghost Wolf is a very practical and powerful skill, not only for offense. Overall, Dumbstruck Tongtong really is lucky, she just reached over ten levels and she has already learned this kind of special skill.
“Sister Feng Yi got Bone Armor, Sister Shuiguojie got Summoning the Holy Light Warhorse, Da Vinci Missy got a new music score, adding agility. And Sister Weiwei, a mage, got an Ice Barrier.” Dumbstruck Tongtong said all in one breath.
“Impressive.” Li Yao was envious after hearing this. The Bone Armor can summon a six-faced bone shield, blocking any six instances of damage. Summoning the Holy Light Warhorse is a strong monster-pulling skill, it can, of course, be used for charging, escaping, etc., although the summoning time isn’t long, it definitely is one of the most useful skills of the Sacred Teaching army.
The others were also good. Each one made quite the harvest. After flaunting to Li Yao for a while, Dumbstruck Tongtong hung up the private chat satisfactorily.
Li Yao continued to follow behind hundreds of Silvers to clean up the monsters. He was more relaxed now. After clearing all day, he had a clear understanding of the monsters’ skills and coping mechanisms, and was becoming increasingly comfortable in handling them. Li Yao guessed he was about to reach his true destination.
“Something not very big nor very small happened today.” Sister Li said, “Yesterday, our Thunderclap assassins from the Assassin Hall made a move, catching the three big guilds off guard, causing heavy losses.”
“That’s a good thing, did the three big guilds retaliate?” Li Yao heard the implied meaning.
“Yep, just now, a not very big nor small scale battle came to an end.” Sister Li said.
“I’ve been grinding so much, I’ve gotten dizzy. I didn’t look at the guild channel.” Li Yao held his forehead.
“So I didn’t tell you, the three big guilds formed a hundred-person team specifically against us, causing a lot of loss. I also sent the Assassin Hall to mobilize collectively. Both sides had a big battle in the wild, in the end, we narrowly won. You should take a look.” Sister Li sent over a video.
The chaotic battle of nearly two hundred thieves. On one side were the elite profession thieves from the three big guilds, and on the other was the Starfire Guild’s Assassin Hall.
They claimed to have narrowly won, but in the end, there were only three or four thieves left in the Starfire Guild, the rest had all hung once. However, picking up the equipment dropped by the other party was a small advantage.
“Don’t be too happy just yet. The three big guilds had this broadcast live, but were left egg-faced by us once again. They must be embarrassed and enraged by now. I guess they’ll target us with big moves in the next few days. And it won’t be as simple as before then.” Sister Li reminded.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll be back as soon as possible, sorry for making you worry.”
A spark flashed in Li Yao’s eyes. He must hurry up. Li Yao looked at the big door in the distance that was shut. The instance was just ahead…
