S-Elite, short for Silver Elite, was a weakened version of Bosses. S-Elites were easier to deal with than Bosses. Be it humanoid creatures or animalistic creatures, they would drop off special items after being killed.

These special items were relatively unique and rare, especially when Bosses in World of Ancient Gods were extremely difficult to kill. With the increasing number of players, the Bosses’ attributes were also increased, making it almost impossible for average players to kill.

In his past life, more precious treasure chests would be locked as players progressed in level. Hence, S-Elites became many players’ favourite target. Killing an S-Elite could help players to make a small fortune. Due to these factors, there were countless of bloodbaths and deaths caused by S-Elites.

Just as Li Yao was about to help out the gnome, he saw a Necromancer in long, black robes.

The running gnome was much smaller than the average gnome. Li Yao did not know if he should feel surprised or excited when he saw the two players. The gnome slipped and fell.

Li Yao facepalmed when he saw the gnome then rolled around on the ground like a giant meatball. Although the player was a gnome, she was smaller than the average gnome.

Most average players would not notice it, but Li Yao, who had ten years of experience could see that the player was definitely a child.

After he had made his assumption, Li Yao was even more confused. Most middle-aged and above adults and children would usually choose neutral factions according to their own needs, and they would be allocated to a different continent.

These players would usually choose to play as Demons, Angels, Barbarians, Amazonians and other races. There were also novice villages made especially for the elderlies, providing various gaming methods.

These methods included living with a different occupation, playing chess, farming and others. Once the elderlies had entered the game, they can play in a body that was physically stronger and more energetic. Even in reality, elderlies who were too old to move could be as lively as a tiger, and a lot of them even played as fighters.

The same applied to children, they had their own specialized novice villages just like the elderlies, with different playing methods and game settings such as gore censorship and cartoonish monsters.

In front of Li Yao, was a child.

Li Yao had mixed feelings, but it was just momentary. The child rolled out of the way and was not that far away from Li Yao. Li Yao wanted to rescue the child but it was too late, he thought that death was inevitable for the child.

The rolling child did not wail in pain, instead she shot up from the ground and struck an earthy-yellow totem on the ground.

Once they entered the totem’s area of effect, the S-elite and two elites were slowed down.

An Earthbind Totem!

Li Yao was surprised again. From what he knew, Shamans had to reach Level 10 and complete a special task to receive their first totem, and that first totem was a Water Healing Totem.

Snap…

Just as Li Yao was still in awe, the gnome placed another fiery red totem on the ground.

A Fire Serpent Totem!

The Fire Serpent Totem began spewing fireballs at the turtle-speed elites.

“Quick, come help me! Dropped items will be divided equally based on what you need, or else we will roll the items. Whoever accepts can join my team!” The gnome shouted as she sent team invitations to nearby players. Her voice was sweet and crisp, which further proved Li Yao’s assumption.

“Such a smart young lady. First showing off her skills and worth, then only form a team.”

Li Yao accepted the team invitation.

“You have joined AdorkableTong’s squad. Team mode is on.”

“HundredFacedWitch has joined AdorkableTong’s squad.”

With the system notification popping up, both of the new squad members began to attack.

Li Yao placed three Arrow Towers and tossed a Spike Trap.

With a bang, the three mobs began to bleed. While the Arrow Towers were firing at the mobs, Li Yao nocked his arrows and began showering the Elite Poisonous Dart Frogs with more arrows.

HundredFacedWitch did not just stand by and watch, she tossed a bone glistening with bronze light.

The skull exploded in shining light, a skeleton warrior emerged with a bronze sword and charged toward the Poisonous Dart Frogs.

Then, the Necromancer began casting spells, and a glowing white bone spear appeared above her head.

AdorkableTong’s eyes flickered with excitement with the sight of it, her hands began to cackle with electricity.

Bam…

The bone spear penetrated the Elite Frog and exploded, then came a chain of lightning. This was the Shaman’s AoE spell, Lightning Chain.

After a round of focused firing, the Elite Poisonous Dart Frogs were killed by the countless attacks.

“Hey little munchkin, how did you become a gnome?” asked Li Yao.
