Chapter 328: 328, The Phantom Duel of the Snow Leopard (End) Detestable European Emperor_1
Sky Dragon was significantly luckier than the other players on the same map.
Just as she entered the map, she spotted two monsters about 10 meters away, a light green [Cunning Forest Spirit] and a light blue [Greedy Forest Spirit] respectively.
However, she didn’t rush to attack. Instead, she glanced around her surroundings first.
After making sure that there were no other players nearby, she stridently commanded her Howling Moon Wolf and panda to attack.
The monsters inside the illusion were like hidden treasures, their power was similar to regular mid-level monsters.
The attributes of Sky Dragon’s Howling Moon Wolf Snowy increased by 50%, and her Panda Dumpling was a pet with extremely high attributes.
So, in just over ten seconds, she successfully eliminated the two monsters and obtained two illusion equipments: [Phantom Moonbow] and [Phantom Cunning Rabbit Boots].
Based on the players’ experience in the previous rounds, the illusion equipment could increase a player’s total attributes by around 20%. Weapons could increase more, reaching up to 30%.
That is to say, with these two pieces of equipment, Sky Dragon essentially obtained the buff of 10 layers of Breath of Blood! Her attributes instantly pulled ahead of the other players.
How could she not take advantage of such a headstart?
Sky Dragon immediately made a bold decision – she commanded the Howling Moon Wolf Snowy to howl.
The resonating wolf’s howl could be heard in the distance, attracting several players’ attention.
Amongst these players, the Snow Leopard could recognize the howl of the [Howling Moon Wolf] and deduced that it was a player’s pet. However, most of the other players lacked this discernment.
It’s like humans, from their legs alone you can’t tell the difference between Lin Zhiling and Yang Mi.
Hearing the wolf’s howl, the players thought it was a wild monster’s cry and moved towards Sky Dragon.
About twenty players moved closer to Sky Dragon.
However, due to the differing distances these twenty or so players had to travel, their arrival times varied from a few to several tens of seconds apart.
This time difference gave Sky Dragon a chance.
She hid in the dark, lying in wait and used her equipment advantage to continuously kill the incoming players.
The two pieces of equipment gave her a 50% increase. Panda Dumpling was a legendary pet, and the Howling Moon Wolf had a boosted combat force under the moonlight.
Once a player was targeted by her, they were usually defeated in under ten seconds.
Moreover, as she killed more players her buff level kept increasing and her moves became smoother, the snowball kept growing bigger and bigger.
The players, like the “gourd attempting to save its grandfather”, blindly walked into the tiger’s mouth, and Sky Dragon, like the “snake demon”, eagerly accepted them all.
Only when she had stacked to 10 buff layers, and the players could smell a strong bloody scent from afar, did they stop their “suicidal” actions and began to watch from a distance.
After lying in wait for a short time without any more players taking the bait, Sky Dragon launched an offence herself.
Under her command, Snowy and Dumpling fiercely attacked the watching players one by one.
When these players retreated, her buff had stacked up to 12 layers and she had obtained the third piece of illusion equipment.
Only eight minutes into the fantasy showdown, stronger players like the Snow Leopard were just starting to amass a 3-layer buff. Sky Dragon was far ahead of all other players.
Having tasted success, Sky Dragon decided to continue with the same strategy.
She then had the Howling Moon Wolf give out a pretend dying howl.
This mournful howl echoed across the entire map. The players who hadn’t come previously thought that it was a boss type monster’s dying howl and hurried over to Sky Dragon from all over the map.
The Snow Leopard noticed that something was wrong and also promptly came to inspect the situation, only to see Sky Dragon arrogantly commanding her two legendary pets.
Sky Dragon swept her gaze over the first few players who arrived. Her eyes immediately landed on Snow Leopard.
Although she didn’t know who this leopard belonged to, the fact that the showdown had just begun eight minutes ago and many players didn’t even have a single buff layer. Only the Snow Leopard had 3 buff layers. She naturally needed to eliminate this biggest threat first.
“Snowy, Dumpling, attack!” Sky dragon issued the command, while her arrows “swooshed” towards Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard changed his expression and tried to dart away.
“Dumpling, taunt!” Sky Dragon’s voice came again.
Upon receiving the order the Panda Dumpling let out a cute growl towards Snow Leopard, causing him to uncontrollably turn towards Panda Dumpling.
But he reacted swiftly.
In the fleeting 0.5 second of being taunted, he promptly used the item’s attached skill [Self-Serving] to remove the taunting effect.
However, the Panda’s taunt still interrupted his escape process.
Snowy, the Howling Moon Wolf quickly got close and bit towards his arm.
Sky Dragon’s arrows followed in quick succession.
Knowing that he was outmatched, Snow Leopard tried to escape with a stealth skill, but was quickly exposed by Sky Dragon’s [flare] skill.
The ensuing battle was a foregone conclusion.
Snow Leopard was indeed better at controlling his character than Sky Dragon, but Sky Dragon possessed three more pieces of equipment and 9 more layers of the buff, which was equivalent to having an additional 115% in attributes!
Furthermore, Sky Dragon disregarded all others and stubbornly pursued him, leaving Snow Leopard with depleted health and ultimately eliminated from the magic map.
Seeing Snow Leopard’s unexpected defeat, the live chatroom was noticeably quieter. Many viewers were incredulous.
Some users started to discuss in the live chat:
“How did she manage to get 3 pieces of equipment and 12 layers of buff in 8 minutes?”
“Who knows, but it’s really amazing!”
“The invincible Snow Leopard has fallen.”
“Who is this little girl? Does anyone know?”
“You don’t even know this? The girl with the Howling Moon Wolf pet, it’s so obvious.”
“That’s right, she must be from Boss Ke’s guild, [Sky Dragon]. She frequently appears on the rank charts, and she’s always among the top three archers.”
“Oh, it’s her!”
“Ha, I’m a member of the Yellow Turban Army, Sky Dragon always declares that she is destined to be Boss Ke’s future girlfriend. She even went head to head with Dave, she’s so cute!”
“Oh, so she’s Boss Ke’s girlfriend, no wonder she’s so powerful, Boss Ke must have given her a lot of powerful equipment right?”
“Of course, she’s his girlfriend, so only we understand.”
Seeing these comments in the live chat, Su Yu at the Mage Tower, was at a loss for words.
To be honest, he had never given Sky Dragon any equipment. Every piece she had was acquired through her own efforts in dungeons or purchased at high prices.
The only privilege he had given Sky Dragon was to let her play the main storyline of the second expansion pack, and even that hadn’t started yet.
The live chat really does know how to make stuff up! They speak as if they know everything even when they don’t.
Snow Leopard lost his interest in live streaming after he was eliminated.
He said into the live streaming camera, “Alright, that’s it for today’s live stream. I will stream again when there are interesting events.”
After saying this, he switched off the live stream immediately.
