Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Nail to Death (Seeking Subscription)
Harpies, too, are an ancient race. In the ancient times, they and their ancestors, renowned as Aenna, the Bird God of The Ancient God World, joined the war against the Demon Legion invading from the twisted Void.
The Bird God was swallowed up in the endless tide of demons and became a hero worshipped by all races. Today, statues and temples of the Bird God still stand at the pinnacle of the world, worshipped by countless ancient elves.
However, many years have passed, and the directionless harpies were seduced and corrupted by a wicked bird demigod. They became bloodthirsty, cold, xenophobic, and raging.
They would attack any race that approached their territory, even occasionally attacking the territories of the three major alliances.
Li Yao was sneaking and gradually approaching the coordinates, surrounded by level-ten harpies.
However, most of the harpies were ordinary monsters, or rarely elite. As Li Yao was now at level fifteen, as long as he was careful, it would be hard for the harpies to notice someone quietly infiltrating.
Harpies also live in a typical matriarchal society, and they are only females. Even though they have feathers and wings, they still hold a different kind of charm. They often capture the males of other races as their spouses.
Their houses are quite simple but clean, often built on either side of the cliff or on large trees.
Li Yao knew very well that later in the higher levels, there would be many missions to redeem the harpies, to return them to the side of the three major alliances, and finally, there would be a special ritual to resurrect the Bird God.
But Li Yao wouldn’t deal with these matters now, but instead, he quickly approached his target. His Fire Hawk had already detected the presence of the enemy.
The elite squads of the Arna Guild were scattered into small teams in the elite harpy monster spawn area, leveling up in teams, or looking for some special quest items.
The Red Wasteland had many complex canyons. This region was very desolate, with only some resilient wild creatures, and few ordinary creatures able to live here.
However, the towering cliffs on both sides of these canyons had become an ideal dwelling place for the harpies, and there were many simple houses hanging on both sides of the canyon.
These canyons are very spacious at the bottom, but quite narrow at the top, some cliffs even being only a dozen yards apart. Of course, some places are also connected together, like bridges.
Li Yao found the location of the Arna Guild’s elite squads, chose a place and climbed to the top of the canyon’s cliff.
There were basically no creatures at the top of the cliff, and the sun was extremely scorching, the terrain was also incredibly rugged and complicated.
And although the cliffs were not high, they were still around three hundred yards tall, which was simply too high for the players, an insurmountable hurdle.
However, for Li Yao who had wings, the ability to jump and Magic Spider Silk, it was straightforward.
Felt, the president of the Arna Guild, is in his prime and at his peak strength. Their squad was very powerful, too.
Felt was both the president and the trump card of the squad. At the moment, Arna was leveling up steadily with the members of their squad, under the protection of the guild’s elites.
It was a tradition. Generally, members of the squad, unless necessary, would not participate in guild battles and the likes, just to maintain their levels and equipment, keeping in the best condition.
The squad members were divided into two small teams, team one and team two, dealing with the elite harpies. Even though he couldn’t hear what they were saying, by looking at their relaxed and joyful expressions, it was evident that their mood was excellent at the moment.
Li Yao scanned around and finally locked onto a warlock who had a succubus by his side. His Flame Spell was not the dark red of a typical warlock, but pure orange.
“A Crimson Warlock, huh, a glass cannon.” Li Yao slowly approached and gradually climbed to the cliff above them.
“The experience here is fantastic, and we can complete guild assignments along the way. It really is a great place.” The main priest of the Cecil Squad, a red-haired woman, laughed and said.
“Mainly because of our president’s prowess, he was able to analyze the advantages of this place. It’s a pity that we also have to allow the other two guilds to take advantage.” Guild Rogue Alberta said while attacking a harpy from behind.
“Mutual benefit, understand? Prosperous Era and Lake Hill are our allies. We not only reap the benefits together, but we also share the risks,” explained Felt patiently.
“Our boss surely is foresighted. For example, when dealing with the Starfire Guild. If we were to handle it on our own, while it wouldn’t cripple us, it would have left us hurting. However, when three guilds work together, the losses incurred are negligible to us,” Tank chuckled, adjusting his position to deflect a spell from a distant Harpy Eagle in the process.
“Exactly, as Louis mentioned, we can now peacefully level up while only sacrificing a few pawns. In contrast, the Starfire Guild won’t have such peace. Prairie Fire might be formidable, but what good is that if his elite members can’t keep up? A guild, after all, is about teamwork, not solitary heroism. Within a month, the Starfire guild will be ruined,” Felt was brimming with confidence.
Indeed, that would be the case if they were to continue on this path. The Starfire Guild wouldn’t possibly withstand this onslaught. However, what they didn’t anticipate was Li Yao waiting for them from above, hunting them down like prey.
Furthermore, while they were busy savoring their victory, a tiger was ready to pounce – a tiger named Li Yao.
Li Yao took a deep breath, pulled out his Flying Eagle Bow, gradually drew the bowstring, and then suddenly jumped off a 300-yard cliff.
With barely opened eyes, Li Yao had successfully locked onto his prey – Felt, the head of the Arna Guild.
“Lads, look up, face the camera, exactly, smiley, say Eggplant,” he taunted.
The team, occupied with the ongoing battle, heard the voice and instinctively looked upwards, but they couldn’t see anything.
But before they could even process their confusion, a yellow Charged Arrow materialized abruptly just thirty yards above them.
“Dodge it!” was the first thought that popped into their minds.
However, it was too late. From the start, Li Yao was incredibly close to them. The Charged Arrow was powerful, especially under the enhancement of Li Yao’s Bull Strength, multiplying the arrow’s strength several times – it was as fast as a bolt of lightning.
By the time they saw the golden light, it was already too late. This time, Li Yao used the Steel Arrow.
When they finally gasped, the Steel Arrow with a golden glow had already pierced Felt’s chest.
Felt’s body was carried away by the momentum of the Steel Arrow. His face showed shock and bewilderment, his expression frozen at that very moment.
His life was immediately reduced to zero, and like a dead dog, he was nailed to the ground by the Steel Arrow.
Li Yao’s fading outline was revealed due to the firing of the Charged Arrow. As he was about to land, he performed a Shadow Roll to cancel out the impact, then summoned Death God 4000.
Click click click…
Li Yao seamlessly climbed into Death God 4000.
“Prairie Fire, it’s actually Prairie Fire.”
“Impossible, how could he be here?”
“It’s Prairie Fire, kill him!”
“Our Guild Leader is already dead.”
A few team members’ eyes turned red in an instant…
