Li Yi went in search of Frog Queen to complete the quest. Jiaojiao obeyed Li Yi’s instructions and ran Frogman Quartermaster quests to activate Frogman’s Reputation Value.
Frog Queen was happy to receive the hat but Li Yi was feeling a little helpless after having no quest distributed to him.
He was cut off from Frogmen Tribe’s quests again.
If it were not for Overlord Arrow, he would not bother with Frogman’s Reputation Value. Great, he has bought a pile of Magical Jello but no quest to use them in.
It was impossible to raise his Reputation Value without any quests...
It was crucial for him to increase the Frogman’s Reputation Value as well as obtain that Divine Jade on Frog Queen’s head. To Li Yi, breaking the seal on the orange bow was more important than Overlord Arrow.
He already tried snatching it in broad daylight and that did not work. He even hurled Frog Queen yet the Divine Jade did not come off. It looked like the only way to obtaining it was by killing Frog Queen.
Li Yi retreated a few steps back to pull away a certain distance from Frog Queen and summoned Violent Bear King without startling the nearby Frogman Guards.
He dispersed his frogman Transformed State and held his orange bow up to launch an attack on Frog Queen.
He could read a hundred strategies but nothing beats attempting it himself. He would only understand Frog Queen’s abilities if he personally experienced it.
Pft!
Li Yi shot one arrow right into Frog Queen’s head, dealing a critical [-6,767] damage.
Li Yi’s whole arsenal of enhanced equipment may be of little effect to players but it has a magnified effect on monsters!
Guard Break! Critical Hit! Crippling Strike!
“Croak croak, croak croak croak croak!”
With Li Yi’s Transformed State dispersed, he could not understand what Frog Queen was babbling about.
Frog Queen plucked the Divine Jade off its head as it cloaked endlessly. It was actually using Divine Jade as a weapon and launched an AoE Dark Magic.
A black ball shot from Divine Jade and quickly exploded.
Space Tear!
It has an overall 30-yard attack range.
[-8000]
[-8000]
Li Yi and Violent Bear King both suffered damage but the latter was swift to follow up with a Charge.
Frog Queen did not bother to evade as it let Violent Bear King claw and gnaw at it. It croaked a sound before unleashing another AoE Black Magic, Space Tear.
The skill disregarded any equipment effect, blasting a fixed amount of 8,000 HP off and could be triggered once every 10 seconds. After two consecutive hits, Li Yi drank a bottle of Divine Essence to pull through while most of Violent Bear King’s HP went down the drain.
“Violent Bear’s Protection!”
Seeing he was in a critical state, Li Yi summoned Violent Bear’s possession to boost his HP to 23,231 but Violent Bear King has lost a lot of HP. Hence by the time of possession, his HP could not be buffed to full.
Space Tear!
Frog Queen held on Divine Jade and summoned another round of Space Tear.
It was indeed admirable!
With none of the fancy skills, Frog Queen was invincible with just using Black Magic alone.
“God Mode!”
With that, a visual of Hunter Goddess appeared behind Li Yi. He even activated his Heart of a Clear Mirror and aimed at Frog Queen for a chain of attack.
“Eliminate! Eliminate! Eliminate! Eli...”
The Elimination Arrows were undulating in motion until Li Yi ran out of mana. By then, he has fired twenty-seven arrows!
[-187654]
A terrifying damage value appeared on top of Frog Queen. It angrily croaked and changed its course of attack.
It no longer released Space Tear. Instead, it was croaking about here and there.
“Croak croak croak...”
Ten Frogman Guards appeared!
These were not the same Frogman Guards at the hole but summoned by Frog Queen out of thin air.
The summoned Frogman Guards had 100,000 HP each and their ATK was higher than Frog Queen’s. Li Yi could not dodge in time and was licked by one of them, losing 8,654 HP and almost died.
Li Yi initiated Rocket Propellant, leaving behind a scorching ass as he fled out of the hole.
Frog Queen was too strong. He could not keep up...
“Pseudocide! Camouflage!”
The ten Frogman Guards disappeared after Li Yi attempted these two skills. As for Frog Queen, it gazed around with a silly look on its face before leaping back into its bed for a nap.
He succeeded in breaking away from the battle...
Li Yi remained in Camouflage status for a bit. Then, he took out a jello to munch on, turning into a frogman once more.
Frog Queen was indeed a handful. He would not be able to handle it without a higher HP gauge.
“Jiaojiao, how are you with your quests?”
“Heavenly Robe, how long more before you level up?”
Li Yi contacted Jiaojiao and Windless Heavenly Robe. Jiaojiao was not done with her first quest while Windless Heavenly Robe needed another half an hour to reach Level 70.
Since he had nothing to do, Li Yi went roaming around.
With his quests with the Frogman Tribe dried up, he has to find a frogman who could distribute quests or else he would not be able to elevate his frogman’s Reputation Value. His bunch of Magical Jello would go to waste.
From left to right, Li Yi did not miss out a single frogman in conversation. He patiently sought a frogman who could distribute quests.
“Guild Master, Scarab King’s about to be snatched by someone else.”
Just as Li Yi was out looking for quests, Pretty Good Mood sent him a private message.
“Master, there’re two foreigners stealing our Scarab King!” A similar message from Pale Blue Elegance came soon after.
Li Yi was stunned.
“Did you take a look at their names?”
“Yeap, they did not hide their names. One of them is called Amber Sword Heart while the other’s Alex. Both of them are Southern Continent players.”
“I’ll be there!”
Amber Sword Heart and Alex were both celebrities of Pantheon’s ranking board. Though it was not peculiar for them to be here, their actions of stealing Scarab King was.
Of course, monsters on the wild map belonged to no one and it was survival of the fittest in this game but anyone would be frustrated if someone were to steal their prey, right?
Anyone would be!
Pretty Good Mood and Pale Blue Elegance had been trying to contract Scarab King for more than twenty hours now. They did not stop for breaks. If Scarab King were to be snagged by someone else at this point, they would most definitely be pissed.
“Wait for me, I’ll be there soon!”
Li Yi left Frogman Tribe and opened up the map to find a red marker. He then rushed to where Pretty Good Mood was.
Pretty Good Mood was currently lying on the ground while Pale Blue Elegance gritted her teeth to launch a Soul Staff Technique at Amber Sword Heart.
Swoosh swoosh—
The strike on the soul by Soul Staff Technique on Amber Sword Heart did not even cause the mandatory 1 HP drop. This meant that his DEF more than ten times higher than Pale Blue Elegance’s ATK.
A DEF which was more than ten times higher than ATK would not only block the mandatory 1 HP drop, the person would not suffer any damage no matter how they were hit.
Amber Sword Heart stood there with a blank expression, ignoring Pale Blue Elegance as she tried her hardest in attacking him.
Far in a corner of a passageway, Alex was casting Soul Contract on Scarab King while taking the time to speak to Pale Blue Elegance.
“Girl, tell your friend to stop fighting. You are no match for us so try as you might, you have no chance of winning. It’s best for you and your friend to leave.”
“You’re stealing our monster yet you’re asking us to leave? I’m going to curse you to death!” Pale Blue Elegance was fuming. It has not been long since she started the game but it was her first time meeting uncivilized brutes stealing monsters.
Alex sighed, “We did not steal your monster. We found this Scarab King first but you came to steal from us. We spoke nicely but your friend started attacking Sword Heart. His death can’t be blamed on others.”
“You... I wish you die choking on food and water!” Pale Blue Elegance ran her mouth after hearing Alex’s misinterpretation of facts. She was from a well-to-do family after all so she did not have a proper vocabulary when it came to cursing.
It was then, Pretty Good Mood stood up and summoned Blackfire Elemental to strike at Amber Sword Heart.
Blackfire Elemental’s pure MAG ATK has high damage but the strike on Amber Sword Heart only caused the mandatory 1 HP drop.
He could not break through his DEF...
Amber Sword Heart wielded his sword, two slashes and Pretty Good Mood was back down on the ground.
“Trash!” Amber Sword Heart uttered through his teeth.
“Amber Sword Heart, I wish the girlfriend you find is your long lost blood-related sister!” Pale Blue Elegance felt rage creeping through her skin as she knocked Amber Sword Heart repeatedly with her Soul Staff Technique.
Amber Sword Heart only killed Pretty Good Mood and turned a blind eye on Pale Blue Elegance’s provocation.
Up to now, Pretty Good Mood has died four times while Pale Blue Elegance was untouched.
“Girl, you can stop what you’re doing. You guys are not in our league. Moreover, it was you who steal our monster so if Sword Heart kills you, it’s above reproach,” Alex was still trying to talk Pale Blue Elegance out of it.
Pale Blue Elegance was trembling with anger, “It was you who stole from us yet you put the blame on us? I’ve seen a lot of shameless people in my life but you guys take the cake!”
“Whatever,” Alex shrugged and gave up on talking sense to Pale Blue Elegance.
Pretty Good Mood ran his corpse and came back. This time, he did not resurrect in fear that if he were killed again, he would be forcefully teleported back to Invincible Continent.
Truth be told, Alex and Amber Sword Heart did not intend to steal. Pale Blue Elegance and Pretty Good Mood were on the left passageway contracting Scarab King and it was a blind spot for Alex and his crew. Both parties were contracting for a long time when they realized something amiss.
PK usually happened due to misunderstandings. Of course, there were those with the intention to steal and snatch but this was not the case this time...
However, Alex’s method of handling things was without a doubt, problematic!
Pretty Good Mood was annoyed as he tried to reason when they were being rebuffed but the other party just came charging and finished him off with two blows.
Alex was a hypocrite while Amber Sword Heart was just a pompous prick!
This was the same sentiments shared by Pretty Good Mood and Pale Blue Elegance.
Pretty Good Mood and Pale Blue Elegance may have their thoughts about the other party, so did Alex and Amber Sword Heart. Both camps were against each other to begin with and killing one another was the norm. This was the Southern Continent map after all and if a foreigner dared to step foot here, they must be prepared to be killed.
Talking to an enemy to allow them to retreat was foolish and unnecessary.
These were the thoughts of Amber Sword Heart!
