Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Muddy the Water
Li Yao was utterly oblivious to the fact that he had become a person of interest, with people sent out to find him.
Of course, even if he did know, he wouldn’t care. Not to mention that Li Yao wouldn’t be afraid of them grouping up against him. Considering this situation, if they dared to gather so many people, if discovered by the Ogres, not even Li Yao would need to lift a finger as the Ogres would send their troops to eradicate them.
At the Warcraft Level, monstrous creatures are no longer confined to their territories. They won’t just foolishly wait for you to attack. If they sense a threat, they’ll have their ways of dealing with it.
This is the real reason why Li Yao has been so cautious towards Warcrafts. Attempting to charge into an enemy camp is a surefire path to suicide.
However, now is the time of trials, the time when the enemy camp is most vulnerable. If a few days go by, there may not be this good an opportunity again.
If Li Yao were simply attempting to level up, killing Ogres during the nightly trials would be ideal since it’s more chaotic and lacks the defensive structures of the Ogres.
But he is after the Touch of Darkness, moreover, he needs to save people. He must kill the Ogres in their camp.
Now, the Ogres in the camp fall into two categories: either the powerful adult Ogres, or the elderly and children.
The Ogre side consists of crude, sizeable stone buildings, toweringly enormous, forming a colossal Stone City view from afar.
High-ranking individuals and the core members reside in variable, enormous caves carved out of mountains.
Li Yao decided to engage in guerrilla warfare, to throw this place into chaos. He learnt the language of the Ogres to be able to understand their various words; otherwise, it would be extremely inconvenient.
Li Yao initially set up a sniper rifle on a hillside, far away from the Stone City. He directly aimed at an Ogre guarding a large road, and then pulled the trigger.
The Ogre felt a gory hole at its neck, it could not even utter a sound. Li Yao didn’t stop and kept rapid-firing.
Three shots, each leaving a gaping hole on the neck.
Naturally, Li Yao couldn’t instantly kill an Ogre with over a million health points. A bleeding wound will heal within a few or a dozen seconds. If it is not instantly lethal, the wound will quickly mend.
But Li Yao didn’t give the wound a chance to heal. Continuous three shots all hit its neck. It was no longer a bloody hole. The Ogre’s neck was shortened, and its head rolled off.
This particular mechanism is lethal for humanoid creatures because they can’t survive without their heads.
This is why Li Yao prefers attacking the neck rather than the forehead.
Unlike in reality, where if the brain dies, the person dies, it’s more complicated in the game. Because of health points, a strike to the forehead is at most a fatal attack causing a lot of damage, but as long as there are health points left, it won’t result in death.
However, the game has its rules; if the head falls off, naturally death will follow. Similarly, if the Warcraft’s Crystal Core is lost or isolated, death will also occur.
This is the hard-earned experience from countless people in his past life, the only difference here is that Li Yao is the only one able to use it at this stage.
Seeing their comrade getting killed, the adjacent Ogre Warriors were filled with rage and resentment. They couldn’t believe they had died like this. Immediately, they roared in anger.
Ogres used to have only one head, but after evolution, the likes of Ogre Silver Heroes grow a second head, which would make it difficult to kill them so easily.
But these Ogres are ordinary ones. Their strength might be equivalent to a regular monster’s boss, but they are not even elites.
Killing an Ogre with over a million health points in only three seconds, if any other players saw this, they would be outright petrified.
However, only Li Yao knew that without this sniper rifle, without the accumulated strength, one would probably need to be above level 50 to employ this method.
It’s this rifle that elevated his strength to such a horrifying level to be able to perform this method.
Similarly, melee attacks on Ogres would leave wounds, but if the strength is considerable, attacking continuously on the same location before the wound heals could also achieve the same beheading effect.
With the roar of the Ogres, the camp abruptly got riled up, as if a boiling pot, and Ogres within also stirred.
Through a clear view from the Firehawk, a large number of Ogres immediately started rushing towards the exit, with the elderly and children returning to the stone structures under the reprimand of the adult Ogres.
Li Yao was not idle, he shot another three bullets and killed the second Ogre.
The Ogres near the exit had already rushed out and spotted Li Yao’s hiding place.
Wu La La La…!
The Ogre said a bunch of something, subsequently, many Ogres started running towards Li Yao’s hiding place.
Their bodies were simply too massive, causing the ground to tremble along with their strides.
Li Yao, now in his Ancient Elf Bloodline Form, stayed put like a shadow within the shadow. The Ogres could not see him at all; they could only deduce his location based on the sound of gunfire and the bullet track.
Li Yao continuously shot and killed five to six Ogres. By now, they had already reached within a few hundred meters.
Li Yao, like a shadow, left the spot and ran to a farther location. All he left behind was an artillery platform and a Pierce Arrow Tower.
Li Yao shot, this time he used a propelled arrow. The Ogres had completely lost track of Li Yao.
Enduring the pain of the Arrow Tower, they reached the first spot, but couldn’t find Li Yao. They could only smash the artillery platform and the Arrow Tower in anger.
Then angrily, they rushed towards the next direction, only to arrive at a spot where Li Yao had left behind Exploding Sheep. Whenever the Exploding Sheep went off, only then would Li Yao pull the trigger again, using propelled arrows, causing the Ogres to be led around by circles within the forest.
With their roars, another wave of Ogres entered the forest on the hillside.
They had no idea where the enemy was, and furthermore, they had no idea how many enemies they were facing.
Li Yao stayed here, leading the Ogres about for an hour, killing more than a hundred Ogres. Now, the Ogres were going mad, whereas Li Yao was somewhat reluctant to part, as the experience gained from killing Ogres wasn’t as much as from killing an actual boss, but was still plentiful; he is already close to level 25.
However, for the Touch of Darkness, he can’t keep playing like this any longer. Otherwise, if the Ogres lose too many of their own, they will inevitably retreat. After using this tactic, it wouldn’t work as well the next time.
Li Yao left several Exploding Sheep in the forest for the Ogres. Accompanied by occasional explosions, Li Yao had already soared to mid-air, and flew into the tribe while being invisible.
After about ten seconds, Li Yao had hidden behind a building.
Li Yao identified a place; it was where the Ogres stored their sun-dried food.
Scanning through, they were all animal meat. Naturally, there wouldn’t be any human meat here; even if there was, they wouldn’t let these commoners eat it.
“Let the chaos start from their food storage.” Li Yao revealed a smile, found a gap, and slipped into the food storage…
