Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Candied Haws

The Power of the Barbarian Bull multiplied the original strength several times. Due to the Eye of the Creator, the mechanical pet and the machines both enjoyed the addition of his attributes.
Otherwise, the Arrow Tower could never cause such high damage. Now that Li Yao had activated the special effect of the belt, even the Ballista was enjoying this temporary boost.
The force of the Ballista was already huge, let alone with a few times strength increase.
There was a sharp breaking sound.
The onlookers couldn’t even see the trajectory of the Steel Arrow, only watching the giant Steel Arrow hit the MT’s Shield.
Poof…
With a light sound, the giant Steel Arrow had penetrated the Shield in the blink of an eye, then sunk into the MT’s body.
But that wasn’t the end, the force of the Steel Arrow was too massive, it pierced through the MT’s body and sunk again into the bodies of the knight players behind him.
Poof, poof, poof, poof…
Four brief sounds, the Steel Arrow disappeared into the distance of the prairie with streaks of blood.
The players’ eyes were filled with disbelief. They looked blankly at the hole in their chest and then collapsed weakly to the ground, their souls turning into white light and disappearing.
While it seemed like a long time, in reality from the moment Li Yao fired the crossbow arrows to the moment the people fell, it was but an instant. When the surrounding two squads came to their senses, those members of the team were already lying on the ground.
Even with the Shield, the MT couldn’t withstand the damage of the Ballista.
But the Ballista, boosted by the Belt’s effect, was notably more powerful. As the Steel Arrow instantly pierced through the Shield and didn’t diminish in power before penetrating the MT’s body, without the Shield to block for him, his hit points couldn’t handle the attack from the Ballista.
If the high health, high defense MT couldn’t withstand it, let alone the fragile professions. Plus, with the heart being transversed, it resulted in the instant loss of life without any doubt.
Crash…
The sound of several players’ bodies falling to the ground startled the two surrounding squads, all eyes were on Li Yao.
“Never thought I could kill multiple with a single arrow, even though they were a bunch of birds, it was satisfying.” Li Yao murmured, then put the Ballista into the Mechanical Space.
It wasn’t until he saw Li Yao picking up the dropped gears of several people and putting them into his backpack that Naihe Bridge reacted, growling: “Prairie Fire, you will pay for your actions.”
“Bring them on. I can kill as many as come, I welcome it anytime. Killing players has a way higher drop rate than killing monsters.” Li Yao calmly said while picking up a Blue Equip and two Green Equips into his backpack and dropping the two White Equip back on the ground. It was as if he was stating something commonplace.
“Pfft…
Furong Rain burst out laughing, she originally wanted to say that Li Yao was bragging, but she then remembered how Li Yao defeated an entire squad with a single arrow, and the rest didn’t even know what his real ability was.
“Okay, I hope you can still talk big when you get teleported out. I’ve put my words here, from today onward, we will not rest until the score is settled between us.” Naihe bridge said menacingly, then no longer looked at Li Yao. As they had not been eliminated, they dare not attack Li Yao, otherwise, they would be eliminated.
If they did, they’d surely lose more than they would gain. But Naihe Bridge is also full of confidence, there are several leveling squads from pursuing flowers outside already, as long as Li Yao went out, he would have no place to hide.
“Be careful.” Flaming Red Lips warned Li Yao, who appeared to be unconcerned, “I’ve seen several groups of Pursuing Flowers during the day. As soon as the Cowherd Closes end, they might gang up on you. You’d better use your mount as soon as you get teleported out.”
“Thanks for the warning.” Li Yao knew it was well-intentioned and nodded politely.
Three squads passed a minute awkwardly, then the Cursed Altar emitted three rays of light covering the three groups of people. Each squad would receive a random buff.
“System: Perfect completion of the Altar Contest, the experience of killing monsters increased by 15%, duration 15 days.”
Li Yao nodded satisfactorily, this buff was quite good, he didn’t need other attributes that much.
“10 days of 10% experience increase, that’s great. Now we can level up to 10 faster.” Lily laughed loudly.
Furong Rain looked at Naihe Bridge and asked, “What’s your buff?”
“Humph.” Naihe Bridge didn’t even bother to answer her.
Instead, Li Yao said, “It should be a 5% experience boost, for a duration of five days.”
“So you have a 15% experience boost for 15 days?” Even the absolute calm Flaming Red Lips couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
Li Yao smiled and said nothing. He had more experience boosts than just from this Altar, but there was no need to tell them.
Just then, a huge Gold Treasure Box, two meters tall and three-four meters wide appeared in the center of the Cursed Altar.
“System: The first stage ended, the second stage will begin in three minutes.”
“System: The second stage, Death Race.”
“System: Death Race Rules, 1. Each squad defends a third of the Altar area, blocking monsters trying to damage the Altar.
Monsters appear in batches, the first wave three monsters, with each wave increasing by three monsters, a leader monster appearing every tenth wave, a boss monster every twentieth wave.
Once a squad kills a group of monsters, all three squads will simultaneously face an attack from the next set of monsters.
The first squad that gets wiped out gets eliminated and won’t get any rewards. The second squad that gets eliminated will each receive a piece of fine quality gear and a common Skill Rune. The third squad that lasts the longest will get rewards depending on how many waves they withstand.
Behind each squad is an Altar with 100/100 durability, if the monsters whittle down the durability, the same failure is judged.”
“System: Enter countdown, please prepare each squad. 2:59…”
At this time, three white energy walls appeared, and partitioned three 120-degree positions, forming a fan-shaped area spread out, separating the three squads into different areas.
The altars were behind them respectively, each guarding one direction.
After studying the rules, the other two squads showed a hint of happiness. By reading the rules, it was clear that it was beneficial for the squads of players, especially the rule about durability. How could a single player defend the entirety of it, as the number of monsters increases, he would no doubt be the first one removed.
“You’ve run out of luck, haha, be careful when you get out, many of my brothers want to play with you.” Naihe Bridge laughed triumphantly. “Idiot.” Li Yao was too lazy to respond, he directly took out the Ballista and placed it next to the altar.
“Arrogant till death, you’ll cry soon.” Naihe Bridge said dismissively.
“You really are, annoying or not? You’re non-stop yapping, like an old woman, you’re not annoying but I am. If you babble again, I’ll appeal to the system and accuse you of noise pollution.”
Li Yao said annoyed after placing the Ballista.
“We’ll see who cries soon.” Naihe Bridge was struck speechless.
