Chapter 49: Dog-skin Plaster

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A Wizard was caught up by the Fire Dwarf, and as the sledgehammer descended, he laid on the ground without a doubt.

“That Thief named Old Green, I ***!” The Wizard cursed furiously.

Li Yi turned back and counterattacked. Pulling aggro on the three Fire Dwarfs, he dashed toward the direction of Old Green.

At this time, Old Green was sneering and watching the show not far away. When he saw Li Yi running over, his complexion immediately changed. He turned to flee, but he forgot to deactivate Stealth Mode (the moving speed when in Stealth Mode is only 50% of the normal speed).

Li Yi and Old Green ran side by side, and the Fire Dwarfs soon caught up. When the distance with the monsters was too close, Stealth would immediately lose its effect. Now, this was just too much. Instant Slip-Away and Stealth were cooling down, so he could not even try to hide.

By relying on his SPD +2 shoes, Li Yi quickly increased the distance with Old Green and ran straight to the dungeon entrance before turning around to look back.

Sure enough, Old Green was lying on the ground and had stopped breathing for a long time.

“Want to play tricks? You’re still wet behind the ears. Don’t you know that your teammates can still see you when you’re in Stealth Mode?”

Li Yi could not help but shake his head and turned around to exit the dungeon.

In the team of 50 people, only 5 ran out of the Instance Dungeon alive, and the remaining 45 people all died.

“Healers quickly corpse run into the dungeon to rescue Miss Delicate.”

Hua Feiwu painfully looked at his staff on the ground and was visibly agitated.

The items dropped by players would never respawn, but...

A Fire Dwarf ran over, picked up the staff that Hua Feiwu had dropped, and waved it in his hand for a while before running off happily.

“F*ck!”

The staff was unmistakably gone.

This was the excruciating part of King of Pantheon. Any of the player’s items on the ground would never disappear, but it was very likely to be picked up by NPCs or monsters.

“You have quite a few people who didn’t listen to the command. Before the Fire Dwarfs guarding the Arrow Tower have yet to respawn, your people have fled.”

After some hard work, the 50-person team reunited at the entrance of the Instance Dungeon.

Death and injury were inevitable when exploring a new Instance Dungeon, but each death could bring valuable experience. By discussing with one another, only then can they smoothly pass and advance.

As for Hua Feiwu, losing his staff was like losing his soul. His tone of voice was the same as that of a sulky woman’s, and he placed all the responsibility for the failure of the battle on Dark Empire.

“All of us from the Century Flower Guild are killed, but you have five people leaving the dungeon alive. Miss Delicate, is there a need for me to say anything more about whose side is not contributing?”

“Check the DPS yourself. Look at the 5 from our guild who left the dungeon alive. None of them scored less than your side.”

Hua Feiwu clicked open the DPS statistic screen. After scanning it, he was instantly dumbfounded.

The person with the highest damage output had long been not him but was Dark Wing. As for the 4 from Dark Empire who survived, their damage output were all ranked in the middle, and although they were not high, they were definitely not low either.

“How’s that possible? My Destruction Staff has an extra 100 points of dark damage. He’s just a rubbish Archer. How can his damage be higher than mine?” Hua Feiwu’s complexion changed.

Delicately Cute coldly snorted. “This is the system’s own damage statistics. Neither you nor I could fake it.”

Everyone’s gaze fell on Li Yi, but Li Yi was unperturbed and just smiled at everyone.

He was not leeching off earlier on. In this kind of large party dungeon that had a very high demand for damage output, if you were to hold back your capability and ease up at this time, it could possibly cost the entire team.

Do in accordance with your ability and do your best. This was the prerequisite for a party to win.

Hua Feiwu waved his hand. “Forget it, don’t mention this for now. Let’s study the tactic first.”

The Destruction Staff which was taken away by the Fire Dwarf was still weighing on his mind.

“The strategy this time is similar to the last. However, we have to choose two people to attack the other Arrow Tower to divert its fire.”

Li Yi’s heart relaxed. Leaving his character aside, this Hua Feiwu was still rather capable. Being able to find the right way so quickly showed that he was actually worthy of being a Guild Master.

“I’ll go. Just I alone will do.” Li Yi raised his hand.

Hua Feiwu looked at Li Yi disdainfully. “You? Don’t think that just because your damage output is higher than mine, you can pretend to be an expert. Attracting the fire from the Arrow Tower needs constant movement and positioning. You, as an Archer would die the moment you come into contact with a monster. Though it’s alright for you to die, yet if this causes the party to be totally annihilated, would you be able to bear this responsibility?”

“If it’s just to attract the attention of the tower, I can take on this responsibility.” Li Yi nodded his head seriously.

Hua Feiwu was provoked by Li Yi. Just as he was about to reprimand him, Delicately Cute came forward. “I agree to let Dark Wing go.”

“Well... Alright then.” Since Delicately Cute opened her mouth, Hua Feiwu could only nod.

“I’ll go too.” Old Green stepped forward and volunteered.

He really was like a ghost that lingered on and was unwilling to leave. Li Yi did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

He remembered that this was the case in the previous life. Even though Old Green died again and again, this fellow was absolutely not convinced no matter how you killed him. He would perilously stick closer to you, like a dog-skin plaster ¹ that could not be shaken off no matter how you try.

‘Is the same situation from the previous life going repeat itself?’

Li Yi sighed helplessly.

“Alright then. Let’s send one person each from our two guilds. But I’ll be brutally blunt here. Before we have taken down this point, if there’s anyone who wants to play dirty tricks, I’ll absolutely not let him off.” Hua Feiwu glared at Old Green fiercely.

The Wizard who had earlier died due to Old Green playing Stealth had been berating non-stop. If it was not for Delicately Cute resolving the matter, there would not have been any peace until now.

Old Green’s expression was indifferent as if he did not even hear Hua Feiwu.

The party stormed forward again, splitting into three groups as they rushed toward the checkpoint.

“How ’bout we discuss for a bit? Let’s just temporarily put aside our grudges and wait ’til we’re out of the dungeon. I’ll honestly stand still and let you kill me once. How’s that?”

Li Yi tried to communicate with Old Green while running in the direction of the Arrow Tower.

“Just once? If I don’t kill you a hundred times, we’re not over yet.”

“C’mon. I’m discussing with you now to temporarily put aside all grudges and wait ’til we’re out of the dungeon. You can even kill me 200 hundred times, and I won’t have a problem with that.”

“Tell you what. No way. I’m definitely going to kill you in the dungeon.”

Old Qing coldly snorted, and his Instant Slip-Away sped up, looking for little monsters to cause trouble for Li Yi.

Li Yi was speechless for a moment.

Hearing Old Green’s tone, it was as if he himself was afraid of him. Fine. Since he would not agree even though he tried to properly discuss with him, there was no other way but to continue playing.

When Li Yi had reached the foot of the Arrow Tower, Old Green was leading two Fire Dwarfs running over to him.

“Are you being silly or just plain stupid? Even Hua Feiwu knows to look at the bigger picture and keep the overall goals in mind. What ’bout you? You’re willing to bring down the whole party to die along with you just to get revenge.”

Li Yi had said what was needed to be said and spoke no more. He kept running and shooting to pull aggro. Old Green only dared to pull two, but he dared to pull a group.

After pulling aggro on ten Fire Dwarfs, Li Yi felt it was almost enough. He immediately turned back and ran toward Old Green. At the same time, Old Green was being chased by Fire Dwarfs and could not escape, so he could only brace himself and charge head-on.

“If I’m to die, we’ll all die together!” Old Green yelled ferociously.

“Want to play tricks with me? You’re still way behind. Go die by yourself. Brother’s not going to accompany you.”

Just as the two were approaching each other, Li Yi called out his Mutated Small Wild Boar to transfer aggro and quickly evacuated from the side.

The Mutated Small Wild Boar resisted for a while, but Old Green was instantly killed by the Fire Dwarfs. Li Yi, on the other hand, had escaped safely to the other side of the Arrow Tower and was outside of the Fire Dwarfs’ range of sight.

Hua Feiwu and the rest were already attacking the other Arrow Tower. Li Yi saw the tower at his side aimed at the main tanks that were pulling aggro at the front, and he knew that the situation was getting worse. He immediately fired an arrow at the Arrow Tower and run out of the tower base at the same time, exposing himself within the shooting range of the tower.

If you stood at the foot of the Arrow Tower, you would not be attacked by it. This was because the shooting range of the Arrow Tower was the same as that of the Archer’s. Once coming into close range, both would not be able to fire any shots.

Li Yi exposed his body within the shooting range of the Arrow Tower. His intention was obvious – to attract the Arrow Tower to attack him!

“Tat tat tat tat!”

The Arrow Tower discovered Li Yi and directed its huge Fire Arrow launcher at Li Yi.

“Chhhhh—”

A huge Fire Arrow drew out a stream of flare and aimed at Li Yi!
