Chapter 70: Upgrade

    Aside from the special elites and bosses, all wild Bullmen were melee monsters.


    The strength of these wild Bullmen was simply unparalleled, and the sharp horns on their heads pointed straight ahead, shing in the cold light. All they needed to do was lower their heads slightly tounch a powerful charge.


    Despite being stimted by Li Yao, the three other teams were still extremely cautious during their monster encounters.


    But Li Yao was different. His tactics of fighting against melee monsters allowed him to utilize his crowd control skills to the extreme.


    With a casual glide of the Fire Bird along the ground, it could lure a wave of Wild Bullmen. With the dance of the Fire Bird, you could see a wave of Bullmen rampaging across the prairie.


    Large patches of grass would scatter, the earth trembled with loud booms, especially when you saw their red eyes and glowing horns. If the Fire Bird were not a boss-level pet, but ordinary flying pet, it would surely be trampled into a meatloaf by the Bullmen.


    Although the Bullmen had high health, under the two ranged skills of the Fire Bird and Li Yao’s Arrow Rain, most were left injured and weak. As the Bullmen approached, they were the target of Arrow Tower’s attack. Combined with Exploding Sheep, Li Yao could kill them with ease.


    Hunters without a good pet had to kite bosses and elites, but with a strong pet capable of tanking, the fight was incredibly easy.


    When facing a boss, the system detected Li Yao as a yer. The boss’s health would not increase, and Li Yao’s output was already very powerful. The damage output of three Arrow Towers was off the charts, and the addition of the small boss Fire Bird, was equivalent to the output of a major guild’s elite team.


    The Bullman Sanctuary was a beneficial secret realm where the monsters inside offered high exp points. Li Yao was able to advance while mowing down all his enemies.


    Because the Fire bird could fly into the sky, he was able to have real-time control of the other teams’ progress, not worried about them getting ahead of him and reaching the cursed altar first.


    Of course, for him, the scramble for the altar was too easy, but not so for the other teams.


    The high attack power of the Bullmen was a great test for tanks and healers, while their high health and defense required high output.


    However, those who entered the Mother Bull Gate were all elite yers who would not be deterred by these circumstances.


    The tactics of both Hell Bridge’s teams and Blooming Flower Alliance’s team were top-notch in strategy and skills. They simply had bad luck.


    They chose to adopt a “Fall Back” strategy, taking responsibility for eliminating single or small groups of monsters, then creating a path while bypassing the concentrated Bullmen.


    From a bird’s eye view, their path looked tortuous, resembling a snake shape. Behind them, many groupings of un-dealt monsters were left behind.


    But Li Yao was like a moving train on a set course, mowing down any monster in his path. All that was left were torn patches of grass and piles of Bullman corpses.


    Resounding Rose was healing ming Red Lips while saying, “Big sister, isn’t this guy too exaggerated? He killed hundreds of Bullmen in such a short time, along with dozens of elites. He’s too abnormal, is he really a yer?”


    ming Red Lips produced an exploding Fireball, sting the Bullmen into a retreat. Her damage was over twice that of the other two yers. Considering personal offence, if Li Yao used the bow and gun to fight, he would not be as powerful as ming Red Lips.


    One Fireball could drain almost three hundred health from a Bullman, she was a formidable yer.


    “That’s hard to tell, his ss must be very unique. Haven’t you noticed the FireBird beside him? Although it looks and moves like a real creature, I have a feeling it’s not truly organic. It should be a machine,” she suggested.


    “Even if it’s mechanical, it shouldn’t be so strong. Could his mount have helped?” Lily also suggested.


    As ming Red Lips destroyed a Bullman with a Fireball, she shook her head and said, “Impossible, no current yer can have a mount. My guess is that the mount has something to do with a task or quest he’s undertaking. Maybe, like me, he’s also performing an elite quest.”


    At this time, the thief girl in their team resumed luring monsters, the tank aggroed the crowd, their teamwork was as smooth as flowing water.


    “He’s still too exaggerated. Did you forget? We also watched the video of him performing the dungeon raid yesterday. Although he was impressive, it was just a small trick. His maneuvers weren’t challenging, given enough time, I could also figure out how to dungeon raid,” Resounding Rose said with dissent.


    ming Red Lips sighed and said, “Small tricks? That’s an understatement. You say that given time you coulde up with them, I believe you could. But you underestimate his understanding of the ss, which is the reason he is powerful. It’s not only about his dungeon tricks.”


    “No matter how powerful, professional teams will not ept Hunters, they are only suitable for outdoors and cannotpete in arenas. Moreover, he killed those people using small tricks. Over time, as everyone better understands the game, he won’t be able to show off anymore,” Resounding Rose was still not convinced.


    “Small tricks, Resounding Rose, you’re really wrong this time. What are small tricks? Why use more force than needed? You say these are small tricks, in the game, can you find many yers who canpare with his archery? How many yers can you find that face a boss that can kill instantly, break more than a hundred moves without making a mistake? Also, how do you know that he has revealed all his cards? For instance, that Fire Bird, haven’t you seen it before?”


    Seeing that Resounding Rose lowered her head, ming Red Lips’s voice softened as she said, “I know that you feel we have been yed and are not content. We can only me ourselves for not being more familiar with the game. Putting other considerations aside, we have learned a lot of techniques from him, and today he taught us another lesson, making me understand the game even better. This person, though seemingly unscrupulous, actually has quite a good character.”


    “Big sister is not falling for him, is she?” Lily teased jokingly, easing the atmosphere.


    Shaking her head, ming Red Lips said, “I am not yet that lovestruck, I just wanted to remind you, in the Mother Bull Gate, Prairie Fire is an ally we should consider recruiting. That’s the best way to deal with Ghost Lily. Hell Bridge has bad character; he’s cunning and sly, hard to defeat. He’s our real enemy.”


    “We understand,” Resounding Rose nodded.


    Li Yao was mob farming all the way. When he was still a few thousand yards from the altar, a golden glow shed over him.


    He finally leveled up to level six. Then, Li Yao didn’t deliberately farm monsters anymore. When the other three teams were still halfway, he had already reached the Cursed Altar.


    The altar was already purified at this time, and Li Yao could gain a temporary bonus through it, such as attack power, or experience buff, or movement speed, again, the attributes gained were random.


    However, Li Yao didn’t go for the Altar. Instead, he set his sights on the three treasure chests. A Gold, a Silver, and a Bronze. They were very conspicuous. ording to the rules, the team that arrived at the Altar could choose to open a chest.


    As Li Yao arrived, the system also made a prompt. The faces of the other teams went pale, they were still a long way from the altar….
