MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Mutated Centaur
 

Cleaning up just this outpost took far too much time; the monsters’ health was incredibly high, coupled with the time for attrition and pursuit, it had already darkened inside the dungeon.

However, the monsters in the dungeon did not have ferocious properties, and their attributes would not increase in the dark. This was why they could explore the dungeon at night, and visibility in the dungeon was relatively high.

These were usually specific mirror spaces where, even at night, the moon was extraordinarily round and bright.

They usually didn’t feel anything while exploring, but as soon as they relaxed, they would feel tired and hungry.

The members didn’t hold back, they logged off one after another and soon they were logging back on.

They were even more urgent than Li Yao. Although they guessed they had gotten the upper hand, until the first kill was confirmed, everyone’s nerves were on edge.

Li Yao was already accustomed to all kinds of high-intensity explorations, he logged on the earliest and launched a fire eagle to scout the terrain first.

Once all the members were online, Li Yao reorganized the team and they began to clear the second outpost.

With experience from the first outpost, the members gained experience and confidence, and due to the accumulation at the first outpost.

Li Yao has also summoned hundreds of silver skeletons, which made the battle much simpler.

They easily took down the second outpost, then the third, the fourth, and the fifth…

Until all the outposts were cleared, as usual, a crystal would appear at every outpost.

Soon, six beams of light converged, forming a bizarre array.

Although the outposts were relatively easy to clean up, they still consumed a lot of time. It took two days and two nights to clear just six outposts.

“We finally took down the last outpost. We are so tired. Is this really a 25-player dungeon, and not a 100-player one?” the Guardian Angel collapsed on the ground without caring about his image as the last centaur fell.

The other members were not much better off, they all sat on the ground to rest. These two days of intense combat had exhausted them.

“We got the last crystal, but, the array has already started. What’s the use of these crystals?” Sister Li asked, seeing Li Yao put the sixth crystal in his bag.

Li Yao shook his head and said, “Not sure, one crystal activates one altar but then comes back to me, probably related to the first boss. Not enough clues yet, can’t say for sure.”

“System: You probably have discovered a big secret. With the activation of the six watchtowers, a surge of extreme evil is spreading over this land. You look up to the sky and find a strange hexagonal array appearing in mid-air.”

“System: You have activated the array, releasing the power of the Evil God. The bloodline power of the Centaur of the Evil Hoof Tribe has completely disappeared, mutating completely. The Centaur Chief is furious and sends out his troops to exterminate. Please prepare, you have one hour.”

“What’s going on?” Everyone was startled and stood up.

Li Yao wasn’t surprised and said, “This represents our dungeon exploration progress, stop resting, let’s build a fort at this outpost.”

“Looking at it now, our progress is not wrong. The video they gave for reference seems inadequate.” Feng Yi was referring to the video they received later. It was also a dungeon exploration video.

“Yes, basically worthless for reference. Although their fight looks tough, it does not feel like a war dungeon at all. It’s identical to a level-10 Evil Cave. If so, it doesn’t qualify as a war dungeon at all.” Sister Li agreed.

The Unparalleled Witch said, “Everyone wants to take a shortcut. I did not expect this war dungeon to utilize mannequins. It’s deceitful….”

Li Yao nodded and said, “Cannot say for sure, it might be a setup from the Evil God. We won’t know until the end if our path is completely correct.”

“Now that you’ve said it, we need to hurry up.” Dumb Pupil said seriously, “Those fools, two days and they haven’t found a trace of the second boss. What if they find and kill it today? And the equipment they drop is so good, better than the purple equipment dropped by small monsters.”

They also dropped quite a few items, but at most one piece per person. The attributes were good, but they couldn’t compare with a boss drop.

As for the progress of other guilds, it was no secret. According to the information Feng Yi got, except for the Devil Guild which killed the second boss, the others seemed to be stuck in a maze, without a trace of the second leader.

On one hand, the terrain was complicated; on the other, they couldn’t find the path to the second boss at all.

The video from the Devil Alliance was heavily edited and could be quite misleading, which was why the other guilds were stuck.

“Nevermind the other guilds for now, president, tell us how we need to prepare.” New member Mu Zi said.

“You people dig traps around this altar. Now the altar is activated, I don’t think they will be careful about it. I will fix the crossbows at the vent of the altar. Only in this way can we maximize damage.” Li Yao explained.

“Do you have enough crossbow bolts?” Sister Li asked the most concernable question.

If it was defense, some melee and thieves couldn’t go out to fight, otherwise they would surely be killed instantly. They usually output by using hand-crossbows, but the output was quite small.

So, Li Yao wanted to set up a large crossbow to allow them to contribute. The upcoming impact was bound to be strong, Li Yao did not want to be wiped out because of a lapse.

Following Li Yao’s command, everyone started to prepare, digging traps around the altar hall.

Li Yao took apart some brackets and fixed the large crossbows at the vent, even made some extra vents.

He mastered advanced engineering, was very handy doing these things, and quickly fixed six large crossbows.

He also placed lots of crossbow bolts underneath, then divided the melee and thieves into groups. Six people were in charge of firing, and several others were tasked with transporting the crossbow bolts.

Then in the traps around, filled with blood-soaked spikes. He wanted to hide them, but obviously time was not enough, the deafening hoof sound was thundering over.

“Boss, the centaurs are here. I estimate there are around three thousand. And these centaurs have clearly mutated, many have become two-star silver ranks. The one leading is a three-star silver rank.”

Li Yao nodded and said, “I see, come back and control the second crossbow. Your job is important, your accuracy directly affects whether we can withstand this onslaught.”….
