Chapter 658: Chapter 658: A World of Ice and Fire
Everyone aside from Li Yao was plagued with the question, “What is going on?”.
The viewers bombarded the chat with questions, leaving the hosts at a loss. They were just as clueless about the situation.
Xiao Ze could only shake his head helplessly, “From their conversation, I would guess that this void is unique. Under normal circumstances, even without touching the ground in the void, you would die. Numerous people have tested this. However, the headless knights didn’t die. This suggests that you can float down there, but the distance is not short. Only in this way could summoning creatures not be dismissed or resummoned.”
The others agreed with his speculation. It’s the only explanation that made sense given the current situation, but with the lack of information, no one was quite sure.
“Is that all you’ve got? You’re weak.”
As Li Yao spoke, another explosion occurred, sending the summoned creatures lurking behind the headless knights flying.
The result, naturally, was the same, and for a moment, the opposing team fell silent.
But after hearing Li Yao’s provocation they became even more enraged.
However, their march also stopped. No one dared to face Li Yao who seemed to control the path of death.
Iron Barrel sneered, “No need to hold back anymore. Dismiss the skeletons, and each of us will summon two Iron Stone Demons.”
The two necromancers nodded and threw out a pair of purple weapons, and two Iron Stone Demons immediately appeared.
They continued their actions, once again dropping the plates of armor, and another two Iron Stone Demons appeared.
Two defensive Iron Stone Demons were in the front, two weapon-summoned Iron Stone Demons at the back. With heavy steps, they thundered towards Li Yao.
“I dare you to blast these Stone Demons down too. Once the Stone Demons ensnare you, we’ll see how you stop us,” Snake Princess taunted. “You’re just a petty trickster, thinking you’re all that.”
“Then watch closely. I’ve got plenty of tricks up my sleeve.”
Four Stone Demons, regardless of their health and defenses, were stronger than the boss by a significant margin. Even though the weapon-summoned Stone Demons had low attack power, killing them with Li Yao’s bow and arrow alone would cause basically no damage to the purple-equipped summoned Stone Demons.
Even the effect of Armor-breaking Bullet wasn’t significant. Stone Demons were not hollow. Their bodies were solid like rock.
The summoning power sacrificed by a piece of purple equipment couldn’t be easily killed by his arrows.
But Li Yao stuck to his old tricks, sending out metallic dragonflies which caused a series of intense explosions.
But the bomb that could knock off a headless knight only made the Iron Stone Demons sway a little, and the blood volume decrement was minimal.
The opposing team burst out laughing.
“What’s that Chinese saying? Out of tricks? That seems to fit well. Did you really think your bombs could do everything?” The Snake Princess not only laughed but also mocked Li Yao.
But Li Yao ignored all of that and continued to release his metal dragonflies.
“What’s he trying to do? It’s not effective at all,” Gent said confused.
Because they had clearly seen that the explosions could only inflict dozens of points of damage. Faced with Stone Demons with nearly half a million blood volume, it was like nothing more than a drizzle.
“It looks like we gave him too much credit. I don’t think he deserves the title of King of Hunters,” Harry sighed.
Xiao Ze calmly retorted, “The outcome isn’t out yet and you’re jumping to conclusions. Beware, you might lose face later.”
Harry made a face, “I’m really looking forward to that outcome, unfortunately, I can’t think of any reason for what he’s doing.”
“That’s why you could never make it as a pro-player.” Diamond Tycoon mocked.
Everyone knew that Harry had tried to become a pro gamer a long time ago, but his spiritual power and control skills were mediocre, so he never succeeded.
He later gave up in despair, and instead became an entertainment host. His style was so popular that he became one of the world’s top hosts and commentators in his 40’s.
Even though he is spectacularly successful and in the limelight now, his gameplay skills remain his Achilles heel. These shortcoming were not merely his inability to play well, but also his inability to fully comprehend certain techniques and operations. Even when observing others, it didn’t guarantee proper understanding, leading to occasional misinterpretations during commentary.
So his peers in the industry would call him the world’s number one entertainment commentator. It sounded like a compliment, but Harry hated being addressed that way the most.
“We’ll just have to wait and see.” Harry’s mood was clearly soured, but considering the situation, he didn’t dare to lash out. But his gaze at Li Yao became colder and more disdainful. In his eyes, the so-called King of Hunters was just a joke made up by the Chinese. No matter how capable he was, he was just showing off for the audience. How far could someone like this go?
Li Yao didn’t care about what others thought. He sent out metal dragonflies one after another to explode. When the four Stone Demons were approximately three hundred yards from Li Yao, their originally black bodies had turned red from the explosions. Although the explosions didn’t cause much damage, the high temperature had turned them fiery red.
“Go…..”
Li Yao shot out a Poisonous Snake Trap with several snake shadows swirling around it.
The moment the Poisonous Snake Trap flew into the air, it disappeared from sight, presumably entering stealth mode.
Just as it was about to descend, over a dozen blue metal snakes wrapped themselves around the Stone Demons.
Click, click, click….
With the blue metallic snakes twining around, the four Stone Demons abruptly ceased their advance, their bodies turning into ice at an astonishing speed.
Four red hot Stone Demons were being encapsulated in blue ice crystals. The sight of it was incredibly weird.
Those who were paying attention noticed, the body of the Stone Demons started to show signs of cracking.
“Break!”
Li Yao had a sniper rifle in his hand at some point, and he promptly pulled the trigger.
Pff, Pff, Pff, Pff…
A series of four sounds echoed out. Due to the narrow road, the four Stone Demons were aligned in a row, just like skewered meat.
Crack, crack…
Following the penetration by the Armor-breaking bullet, the four Stone Demons instantly shattered into numerous pieces.
“Fragile as glass.”
Li Yao said dismissively, even though that was essentially what had happened. He had just casually taken a few metal dragonflies from his bag and fired off a shot, destroying four pieces of Level-25 Purple Equipment in the process.
If it had managed to impose any predicament on Li Yao, that loss would have been bearable. But they had lost four precious pieces of Purple Equipment and achieved nothing. Snake Princess’s mocking had abruptly stopped. She couldn’t believe her own eyes. She even rubbed them to see if it was an illusion.
“The game isn’t over yet. Don’t stand there gaping. Send in the Fire Spirits.” Iron Barrel coldly commanded…
