“I, too, have an Aging Curse that can weaken mobs.”
Aging Curse: Sacrifice 10% of the user’s health. Weakens mobs within the AoE1. Decreases monsters’ speed, damage and armor by 15%.
Both players’ eyes sparkled. “Big Sis, don’t worry about losing your health, I have both healing totem and healing spells,” said AdorkableTong.
“If that’s the case, we will have a better chance in winning.” Li Yao led the squad to find a better terrain while killing mobs.
Half an hour passed and they were yet satisfied with what they had found. Li Yao frowned and said, “I know a cave, but entering the cave would mean a dead end. I don’t know if you guys would like to try it out.”
“Let’s go, let’s go. We can try to lure some mobs there.” AdorkableTong was jumping around with eagerness.
The trio reached and investigated the cave. The cave was quite deep in and was at least sixty, seventy yards in depth.
“It’s quite nice.” AdorkableTong placed 2 totems in front of the cave entrance, then she placed one Healing Totem in their position.
“That is an Explosive Totem. It will shoot out bursts of fire and cause area damage, when paired with my Lightning Chain it will be unstoppable. My Earthbind Totem and Big Sister’s Aging Curse will be able to slow down the stupid frogs. Quick, place your Arrow Towers.” Tong directed Li Yao.
Li Yao did not mind at all. He set the three Arrow Towers in position and placed two Spike Traps at the cave entrance. HundredFaceWitch also summoned a bronze skeleton.
“Wait here, I will lure some monsters here.”
Li Yao ran out of the cave and began luring the monsters. In his first try, he attracted 5 Elites and a few Common Poisonous Dart Frogs. Luring just a few mobs would defeat their purpose of grinding.
Looking at the nine mobs behind Li Yao, HundredFaceWitch was startled. Few days back she mainly killed common mobs to level up. If other players were to see this scene, they would have thought that this was a suicide mission.
Li Yao leaped past the totems and towers, while behind him, the frogs had entered the totems and Arrow Tower’s vicinity.
Aging Curse!
A circle of light surrounded the mobs, slowing their movements.
Bam!
The Explosive Totem began shooting burst of flames and the Spike Trap popped open.
Bzzt…
AdorkableTong casted Lightning Chain at the mobs.
Closely-packed damage numbers appeared continuously on top of the Poisonous Dart Frogs’ heads.
Flame damage paired with bleeding damage, Arrow Tower damage, Lightning Chain damage and Bone Spear damage was an instant overkill. Their panels were filled with numbers.
With the effects of Earthbind Totem, the mobs looked as if they were moving in mud.
Li Yao stepped up with his constant damage output. If the mobs were to break through the spells and traps, the trio would become dinner for the mobs as they had nowhere to run.
When the mobs approached the totems and towers, all of the common mobs had died. What was left were a couple of elites.
Li Yao crouched down and placed an Explosive Sheep. The Explosive Sheep ran toward the entrance.
As the mobs squeezed through the entrance, the sheep exploded into pieces.
Both AdorkableTong and HundredFaceWitch were shocked to see the sheep that had caused more than 500 total damage to the elites. The first two elites at the front absorbed most of the fire damage and toppled over from the sheep’s blast.
“Wow! That is so satisfying, what is that?” AdorkableTong exclaimed in awe.
HundredFaceWitch was speechless. She looked at Li Yao and was also curious to find out.
“Nothing much, just a product I made using engineering. It’s just an Explosive Sheep.” Li Yao replied.
“I didn’t know engineering can be that cool, I would like to learn it too.” AdorkableTong’s eyes twinkled with astonishment.
Li Yao gave a slight chuckle. If it were not for the Eye of Creator, his engineering items would not be as powerful.
The last elite had finally died. “This is unbelievable, if I tell others about what had just happened, they would think that I’m mad.” HundredFaceWitch exclaimed.
“Hehe, the main thing is that the three of us are too strong. It would be perfect if Big Bro and Sis had AoE attacks,” said AdorkableTong. “I heard that those so-called professional team players were all wiped out by a single Level 4 elite, such noobs.”
“They are not noobs, you two are the ones who are crazily overpowered, especially Liao Yuan.” HundredFaceWitch said as she looked at Li Yao’s calm face.
Li Yao felt a sudden jolt. From their earlier conversation, he could point out that both players had relations with big, professional clubs and their inner circles. It was very likely AdorkableTong was the apotheosized Shaman, and HundredFaceWitch that had a Bronze Skeleton at this level was obviously not an unknown player. However, when he thought of the twenty billion players in game and that most professional players did not like to have their faces shown, he was no longer fixated on that thought.
The squad chatted while they sat on the ground to recover their character’s Vitality and Stats.
Soon after, AdorkableTong shot up from the ground and gave Li Yao a pat on the shoulder. “Okay, okay. Time to get to work. Big Bro you should go now, the task to save the world is now in your hands.”
Li Yao was speechless. He got up and went out to lure the mobs again. For the second wave, Li Yao had lured seven elites and a few common mobs. This time it was a little too much for them to handle, they were in low health after fighting the mobs.
“That was too dangerous, five to six elites are enough. It doesn’t matter how many common mobs there are since our AoE attacks are powerful enough to kill them,” said HundredFaceWitch.
“Alright.” Li Yao lured the third wave of mobs that consisted of six elites. Although it was a little strenuous to handle, they did not face any danger at all.
