Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Clues of Bloodline Connection
Li Yao had initially let this matter rest, after all, such a Skill Book requires too much luck, and there isn’t any real guide to it.
It is merely a plotline unintentionally triggered through the dialogue between players and NPCs. It barely counts as a task.
But to his surprise, this newly sworn brother knew precisely this kind of clue. Li Yao immediately became alert and said hastily, “Then tell me all about it quickly. This is a great thing to improve our strength.”
Young Khan nodded and said, “I know about it naturally. Moreover, as your strength increases, this kind of enhancement becomes increasingly significant. I originally intended to keep this secret for my son, but seeing how devoted my brother is to this skill, I’ll share it with you.”
Li Yao hesitated for a moment and said, “Oh, I don’t know what to say.”
Young Khan waved his hand and said, “It’s not that mysterious. I don’t even have a partner yet, let alone a child. Besides, you might not even get it. And even if you do, my brother will surely become a powerful person by then, so you can then lend my son a hand.”
Li Yao nodded and said, “If there comes such a day, it’s my bounden duty to take care of my nephew.”
“Hahaha, your words are enough.” Young Khan restrained his laughter and continued, “Although you are very strong right now, the beasts there are almost of a Tier-3 power range. It might be difficult to deal with. You can go there later.”
“Yes, I will certainly be careful.” Li Yao nodded seriously. There was no need to say this was what he would do.
After all, there is only one chance for such a clue. If it fails, no one knows what will happen. Even though he is strong, the chance of failure is quite high when faced with a higher-level power.
“It seems my reminder is superfluous. You are obviously wiser than me, brother.” Young Khan said in a low voice as he saw the people had dispersed, “My father once got two clues. He gave one to Mark and the other to me. However, since I didn’t tread on the path of a Hunter, it wasn’t of any use to me. As long as you are above level 25, find a Hunter’s Camp at Black Rock Mountain. Then, summon me and I will help guide your way.”
Li Yao respectfully bowed and said, “Thank you, brother.”
“What is there to be thankful for? You’ve also drunk a lot today. You have to deal with our clan’s business tomorrow. Get some rest. Once everything is settled, we brothers can hold a night talk.” Young Khan said seriously.
“Understood.” Li Yao saluted and then headed for his own tent.
All the people of Starfire were already waiting there.
“Brother, have you got the information about the skill?” Tongtong asked curiously.
Li Yao nodded and said, “I have. It should be very reliable, considering that Mark has already received one. The clue that the old Khan left for his son must be more precise and reliable.”
“So, we must take down the First Kill. Otherwise, everything we have done will turn into a mirage.” Sister Li mused.
Li Yao nodded, “We must take this First Kill. No one can take it from us.”
Li Yao became more anxious. The stakes for this First Kill were not just about fame and prestige. It involved too many other aspects.
The importance of Dark Touch was self-evident. Although its attributes were not the best, it always played an unexpected role at critical times.
The clue for Bloodline Connection was not something to be come across easily. In the past, Li Yao did not find any clue for this Skill Book even after numerous years of effort. In his previous life, one could say he was incredibly unlucky.
Now he has finally stumbled upon this clue, and it must be seized. If this clue is lost now, who knows whether he will come across it again in the future.
Even if the above two points were put aside, the relationship with the Evil Hoof (Rift Hoof) Tribe was also crucial.
If he couldn’t take down the First Kill this time, then everything they are doing now would be nothing but a mirage.
The only thing they would get would be some equipment. Only the First Kill counts in the storyline and historical records. Everything else will be considered a Projection Seed Day.
As for the equipment, if really Li Yao wanted good equipment, he could simply farm some Level 20 bosses on his own, and the equipment would be absolutely top-notch.
Li Yao boosted the morale, and then everyone dispersed.
The next morning, under Young Khan’s lead, Li Yao arrived at the central altar.
Young Khan said, “This altar was built by my father after he absorbed the power of the Nightmare. It was to compete for the Nightmare God’s trust with those Ancient Trees. Hence, from time to time, my father physically entered the Dream to fight for the Nightmare God. Eventually, he obtained the trust of the Nightmare God, who placed his Projection Seed here.”
Tongtong curiously asked, “If that’s the case, then why not just destroy it?”
Young Khan gave a bitter smile, “It’s not that easy to deal with the Nightmare God. The projection of my father is as strong as his physical body. The Nightmare God seemed to have cursed him at some point, and my father cannot leave this altar now.”
“What happens if he does leave?” Unparalleled Enchantress asked.
Young Khan sighed, “If he leaves, my father will lose all his sanity. If anyone approaches the altar, he will also lose his sanity. We later discovered it was my father’s projection that was gradually taking control. Now, my father is lucid for less and less time each day.”
“In the end, gods are indeed not that easy to deceive.” Unparalleled Enchantress sighed.
The centaur elders all fell silent. Indeed, they originally wanted to trick the Nightmare God, but the Nightmare God turned the tables on them, and now they were trapped.
“It is very dangerous inside. Be sure you know what you’re doing.” As Li Yao and his group were about to enter, Young Khan said.
“I’ve thought it through. Our mission here is to deal with this stronghold of the Nightmare God.” Li Yao pushed the door open as soon as he finished speaking. The group from Starfire walked in, and as Li Yao was closing the door, he said, “Seal the door again. Don’t open it unless you see a green light beam rising.”
“Take care, brother.” Young Khan waved his hand, and the elders started casting their spells to seal the entrance to the Nightmare God’s altar again.
“Prepare for battle.” As soon as Li Yao entered, he saw Nightmare Monsters rushing at him.
However, their numbers were not large so his team easily blocked them. Although these little creatures were mere shadows, they were not any hindrance at all.
They advanced smoothly, and Li Yao said, “We should be close to the core of the altar now. Feng Yi, tell me about the situation with the other teams.”
Feng Yi responded, “Only one team has made it past the boss’s Divine Armor, but their damage output was not enough. As I heard, they are currently gathering attributes and equipment. They should be able to get past the first boss. The other top teams are a bit behind but have all upgraded their equipment. The first boss won’t hold them back.”
Feng Yi’s words gave everyone a jolt. This meant they still had plenty of time to secure the First Kill…
