Chapter 179: Sudden Emergence of Aid

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Dismiss, summon, dismiss, summon. After trying multiple times, Explosive Ape finally got it right and did not attack Li Yi, instead choosing a new opponent in Icy Giant Worm.

The battle restarted. It had taken just a few hits for Icy Giant Worm to dive back underground. Upon receiving the notification from the System, Li Yi was frozen in place.

“Chit! Chit!”

Explosive Ape unleashed a three-hit Violent Strike combo at Icy Giant Worm. Although the damage was minimal, it did successfully disrupt Icy Giant Worm’s skill.

With Icy Giant Worm’s skill now disrupted, it simply stood there motionless. Li Yi took the chance to attack with full force.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Icy Giant Worm dived into the ground as the icy surface exploded. Upon seeing this, Li Yi quickened his movements, making sure to avoid all explosive attacks.

Icy Giant Worm’s freezing skill was the hardest to handle. However, its other attack tactics could easily be overcome if one was quick enough to react.

Icy Giant Worm’s HP was not much, at just 1,500,000. Furthermore, it would attempt to freeze an opponent at every 100,000 HP interval. Explosive Ape’s continuous use of Violent Strike handled the first 700,000 HP without a problem. However, what came next was pure tragedy.

Icy Giant Worm had just crept back into the ground when Explosive Ape used Charge on Li Yi, clawing and mangling him.

Goddammit! Betrayed again.

This could not be helped. Eventually, Li Yi had to Camouflage in order to break away from the battle. He then retrieved Explosive Ape.

He could not continue unless Explosive Ape was able to properly cooperate. A slight error on his part could offer Icy Giant Worm a fatal hit, thus wasting all his previous effort.

Looking at the time, he had wasted more than seven hours by now. Even if he were to give Icy Giant Worm another go, he would not be left with enough time for Monica.

Exit it is!

After giving it much thought, Li Yi made a difficult call and decided to stop his dungeon crawl.

If his predictions rang true, Not Gray Wolf and the others would be keeping watch just outside the dungeon. The result would be disastrous should he be forcefully teleported out once the dungeon’s time limit was up.

As he returned to the dungeon’s entrance, Li Yi summoned Violent Bear King and made his way out after opting for Violent Bear’s Protection and downing a bottle of Invisibility Potion.

“Twuuush... Twuuush...”

Li Yi had only just appeared at the entrance when the HP displayed above his head dropped at an extreme speed. Not Gray Wolf and the lot really played dirty. They had their subordinates continuously planting damage-dealing skills by the doorway. Freezing Trap, Sea of Fire, Blizzard Spell...

This instantly made the Invisibility Potion ineffective. Fortunately for Li Yi, he was buffed with Violent Bear’s Protection, or else he would have been instantly wiped out.

Li Yi immediately retreated back into the dungeon.

The time limit was still counting down, so he was allowed to stay inside for a little while longer. However, Ice Crystal Crown dungeon’s cooldown period was three days. Once the time limit was up, Li Yi would no longer be able to enter.

This bunch of shitheads.

Li Yi helplessly sighed.

“Dark Wing, come out and face your death. Stop your futile struggle.”

“We have over ten thousand men here, waiting for you. You’re really quite a big shot.”

“Yeah, come out already. I’m running out of patience.”

There were at least three hundred players spamming Dark Wing in the regional channel.

Over ten thousand men?

Li Yi’s jaw dropped at the number.

He had only got a glance when he had exited the dungeon earlier. Although he did not see everyone, he could roughly estimate that there were at least a thousand of them. Ten thousand was an impossible number, but a thousand or two sounded a lot more reasonable.

With this, Li Yi consumed a bottle of Advanced-Level HP Recovery Potion while he still had Violent Bear’s Protection before dashing out.

Once he was at the dungeon’s entrance, he whistled to summon Explosive Ape. The moment it appeared, it Charged towards the enemies in the distance.

Waves of attack headed straight at Explosive Ape whilst Li Yi took the opportunity to unleash Fire Impact to bolt 20 meters away, quickly vanishing behind a rock.

Explosive Ape was quickly taken down, but Li Yi managed to escape unscathed.

“Where is he? Where did he go?”

Over a thousand Western Continent players ran around in circles while searching for Li Yi. They could not believe that he had completely vanished before their very eyes.

“He’s still here! He’s still here, don’t make any sudden movements!” Not Gray Wolf yelled out loud.

Li Yi had killed many more players earlier, which had directly increased the number of enemies gunning for his head.

Although they could not see his exact coordinates, his current general whereabouts could be seen from the remarks on his name.

Not Gray Wolf ordered, “He’s still in Blade Frost Canyon. He must be using some Invisibility Potion or something. Activate your Sensory while you cast whatever magic. Let’s smoke him out!”

All 2,000 of them played their hand all at once. The entire scene was grandiose – Sea of Fire here, Blizzard over there. Spike Trap placed one after another, enclosing most of Blade Frost Canyon.

“Still not coming out? You can run but you can’t hide!” Not Gray Wolf was immensely pleased with himself, acting as if they had already killed Li Yi.

Various spells were unleashed for ten minutes straight. Yet, the goal of smoking out Li Yi still came out negative.

Because of this, Not Gray Wolf was feeling down. “How odd. It says here that he’s still in Blade Frost Canyon. Why can’t we find him?”

“Guild Master, I heard that there have been quite a few bugs in King of Pantheon lately. Could this be one of them?”

Not Gray Wolf shook his head. “I don’t think there’s a bug for this.”

Although he said this himself, he was 100% certain.

Could he really have escaped?

He had called more than half the guild’s elites over. There was no doubt that he would face great humiliation if he could not take care of one measly Archer even with such immense firepower.

Half an hour passed as over 2,000 men searched Blade Frost Canyon high and low. However, the search for Li Yi came up empty.

“Guild Master, it’s highly likely a bug, I think...”

“You think, you think. You people saw it yourselves. He hid behind this rock. I don’t believe that he’s able to escape the watchful eye of two-thousand of our men.”

Not Gray Wolf lost it and viciously reprimanded his subordinate. He then issued another order, “If Dark Wing’s not found by today, then nobody is allowed to leave else you risk total point deduction!”

All 2,000 of them immediately erupted into a heated discussion.

The majority of them believed that Li Yi had fled while a tiny portion of them still agreed with Not Gray Wolf’s view. They firmly believed that Li Yi was still in Blade Frost Canyon.

Thus, the 2,000 men stuck around, leaving Li Yi in bated breath.

When Li Yi ran behind the rock, he immediately did a frontal lunge before tumbling to the side and running as fast as he could to a nearby crack where he quickly concealed himself with Camouflage.

It was there that he overheard the exchange between the people. During the earlier mass-skill blitz, a Blizzard crashed into his hiding spot. Luckily, the caster was not all that powerful and Li Yi was left with one-third of his HP.

The coast was currently clear but leaving Blade Frost Canyon was a monumental challenge.

If he were willing to give up, then leaving was not a problem. But that would be a setback and a waste of time. Moreover, he would not be Li Yi if he did not make Not Gray Wolf have a taste of his own medicine. Even if he made it back safely, it would be without alacrity.

Li Yi observed the situation in the dark, mulling over the events to come.

There was simply too many of them...

“Brother Yi, where are you?”

“Guild Master, are you still in Blade Frost Canyon? What’s the situation like?”

“Dark Wing, old brother, report your coordinates, we’re coming.”

Li Yi was about to take a chance and try to rush it when he received a PM from his friends. Chen Yang, Pretty Good Mood and Confused Fox all sent him messages at the same time.

“You’re here in the Western Continent?” Li Yi was dumbstruck.

Confused Fox responded, “We saw your one-on-one challenge with Brother Windcloud Nine. We saw your one against three hundred too. We knew something must have happened since you hadn’t been back since, so how could we just turn a blind eye? Dark Wing, old brother, I have brought over 2,000 men, all elites of God Creator Guild. Am I not a good friend?”

“Little Drunk Cat’s 1,000 strong army of elites will be there immediately!”

“Dream Guild’s Shangguan Bailu with an army of 3,000 men will arrive soon.”

“Holy Pure Eh tagging along with over 200 members of Holy Light Glory Knights!”

“Dark Empire’s Chu Tiange and Delicate with 500 men heading your way...”

“Savage Tribe, Milk Dipper Solitary arriving with more than 4,000 savages!”

Message over message was sent to Li Yi. So much so that he simply knelt over.

Perhaps he was so used to being a lone wolf in his past life that he had always resorted to taking care of matters by himself. Take this as an example, although he was unable to communicate with Pretty Good Mood and the rest in the game due to their distance, he could have simply gone offline and given them a call.

This life was different from his past. He was alone in the past, so he always alone in whatever he did. However, in this life, he made many friends, all of whom would jump to his rescue without the slightest hesitation.

“Where are you guys?”

“10 more minutes before we reach Blade Frost Canyon!”

“Great! Once in the canyon, kill at sight. They have about 2,000 men in the canyon and around the entrance. Be careful.”

“Relax, we’re here to completely f*ck them over!” Pretty Good Mood was in high spirits, which was evident in the reply.

Elites from various guilds of the Eastern Continent, as well as some idle players, formed a party of over fifteen thousand men as they marched in full might toward Blade Frost Canyon.

The fate of Not Gray Wolf’s 1000+ Western Continent subordinates was instant death at the order of Pretty Good Mood.

Pretty Good Mood yelled, “To the canyon! Brothers, for the love of our Guild Master’s asshole, charge!”

“What’s heading to the canyon got to do with our Guild Master’s asshole?” A newbie of Little Drunk Cat asked with a confused look on his face.

“How would I know? Enough nonsense now. Onwards, charge!” Pretty Good Mood scolded him jokingly while leading the pack from the front.

Blade Frost Canyon quickly erupted into turmoil. Not Gray Wolf himself had gotten word of the attack as he grit his teeth.

“Heed my call and start rubbing your Return City Stones. We are vastly outnumbered, we can’t beat them.”

Not Gray Wolf was the first to rub his Return City Stone while the rest quickly followed.

Li Yi smirked while watching them trying to make a run for it.

“Tsst! Tsst! Tsst! Swoosh!”

A Powered-Up Arrow was fired straight at Not Gray Wolf’s head, instantly taking him out.

“Dark Wing! Get Dark Wing first! Get him before we leave!” Not Gray Wolf shouted.

After hearing this, the men stopped rubbing their Return City Stone and launched a kamikaze attack on Li Yi.

“Violent Bear’s Protection!”

“Maylia’s Wind Shield’s Protection!”

Li Yi was ready to risk everything. He raised his DEF to its max and evaded the majority of the incoming damage with Fire Impact. Thus, he began duking it out at the bottom of the canyon.
