“Weeehhh...wehhhh...”
“Bzzt...Bzzt...”
“Thud...thud...thud...thud...”
Ever since he had noticed the positive effect Dolly’s bawling had on the number of Void Eyes, the ruthless master, Li Yi lost all self-control. The moment there was a shortage of Void Eyes, Li Yi would immediately smack Dolly’s little butt, causing her to cry...
Dozens of Void Eyes popped up, and Li Yi did not even need to deliberately target them. All he did was use Shoot at Random, and w the speed at which he farmed the monsters was taken up a notch.
Each Void Eye was worth 50 to 100 thousand EXP. Furthermore, due to their low HP, even average players were able to kill these monsters with a single blow, forget a god-tiered gamer like Li Yi.
The only thing players had to beware of when fighting the Void Eyes was to never make eye contact with them. Once the Eyes appeared, players must immediately shift their gaze. If they did not, after 2 seconds of exchanging eye contact, the Eyes would unleash a weakening ray that reduced both a player’s health and stats.
By using Dolly’s wails to attract the monsters, Li Yi could fight easily. He no longer needed to open his eyes. All he had to do was unleash Shoot at Random the moment he heard sounds and his EXP would skyrocket.
As long as players understood the strategy, leveling up in the Shattered Bonewood was 2 to 3 times faster than leveling up in any other map. Furthermore, with Li Yi’s monster luring tactic, his leveling speed was increased to 3 to 5 times faster compared to farming in a normal map.
The Void Eyes would reconstruct themselves 10 seconds after death. However, if players continued killing them, any EXP gained would be reduced by half, and after their third death, they would no longer yield any EXP.
In order to prevent this no-EXP scenario, players needed to constantly be on the move as they fought. After leaving the monsters alone for around ten minutes, the EXP-less Void Eyes would revert to their original state.
Li Yi walked aimlessly around the Bonewood as he fought. The map was in no way small and could accommodate ten thousand players within it at any given moment.
After walking around for seven hours, Li Yi was only a fraction away from reaching Level 190. Additionally, Dolly, who had been bawling her eyes out throughout the entire time was now Level 165!
Initially, Dolly could not hit the Eyes, but after training for some time, her ability to hit the Eyes had steadily increased. Currently, her shots were just like Li Yi’s, always hitting their mark.
Legendary pets were not named that way just for the sake of it, as their ability to learn out of this world.
“Pew! Pew!”
Dolly fired her bow twice, slaying two Eyes elegantly before Li Yi had even used Shoot at Random. A golden glow enveloped her body and whirled around her several times before fading away. At that instant, a string of huge, golden words appeared above her head, [Learned— Overkill Arrow!]
Dolly had learned a new skill!
Back when she was Level 100, she had learned the skill, Ceaseless Arrow Skill, and now, she had learned another one, Overkill Arrow!
Li Yi excitedly checked Dolly’s Skill Pane.
[Overkill Arrow: Instant cast, guaranteed to land an Overkill shot. Deals 3-5 times the damage to its target. Cooldown: 5 seconds.]
‘She’s able to fire an Overkill Arrow every 5 seconds!’
‘That’s amazing!’
‘It truly is a legendary pet!’
“Keke...”
Seeing that her owner was ecstatic, Dolly happily hugged her stomach and celebrated. Then, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she went back to bawling her eyes out.
After the harsh conditioning from her owner, Dolly no longer needed to be spanked to cry. Contrary to her small frame, she possessed a great deal of intelligence, and she knew that by crying, she could avoid experiencing pain.
Another ten or so Void Eyes popped out. Dolly drew back her small bow and with a ‘whoosh’, fired an arrow at a nearby Void Eye.
[?323455]
[Overkill!]
Within King of Pantheon, Overkill was an advanced version of landing Critical Hits. While Critical Hits could only deal around 1.5 to 3.5 times the players’ damage, Overkills would deal at least 3 times the damage.
Without a doubt, Dolly, who had mastered Overkill Arrow, was now an even greater force to be reckoned with.
‘Now that’s how a legendary pet should act.’
Li Yi was extremely pleased with Dolly’s performance.
“Squeak! Squeak!’
Upon seeing the expression on Li Yi’s face, Dolly immediately discerned her owner’s intentions. She flapped her wings, flew beside Li Yi’s mouth, and pointed her finger at her little face.
She was telling Li Yi to kiss her on the cheeks as a reward.
“Go and lure more monsters!”
The cruel-hearted master’s expression darkened, and he smacked her little butt.
“Wehhh...wehhh...”
Dolly’s cries begun once more.
“Kaboom! Kaboom!”
The ground suddenly began to quake, and Li Yi flinched momentarily. He quickly dispatched the newly appeared Void Eyes and grabbed hold of Dolly in his fist.
“Kaboom! Kaboom!”
Another quaking sound could be heard coming from the right, and after paying close attention to the rhythm of the quakes, a familiar sensation engulfed Li Yi.
‘These quakes...they remind me of the brute force attack style of a certain player.”
An idea crossed Li Yi’s mind, and he dismissed Dolly whilst heading towards the source of the quakes.
By avoiding the gaze of the Void Eyes and not attacking them, the Eyes would automatically disappear after 3 seconds. As such, Li Yi’s journey towards the epicenter of the quakes was relatively safe, and he made it there quickly.
A scantily armored human female was standing in a barren field. Her enchanting eyes were sealed shut, and she had relied only on her hearing to send her fists into the noise.
For every fist she sent out, it would be accompanied by a Qi Blast. As for the source of the earthquakes, it was due to the force of her Qi Blasts colliding with the air.
The moment Li Yi spotted her; his eyes narrowed with joy.
‘Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut!’
‘So, she’s been leveling up in the Bonewood, huh. To think that she would stay in the Demon God Castle even though her throne has been taken away from her.’
Maybe it was because she thought that nobody would come to the Bonewood, but Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had the extremely sexy Flaming Dragon Armor equipped.
Her upper half consisted of two metal plates that barely covered her ample bosom, and revealed her luscious, white cleavage. Meanwhile, her lower half consisted of only a pair of metal panties, exposing her glorious thighs.
‘Huge and white, damn this woman’s figure is insane!’
Li Yi ‘gentlemanly’ directed the camera of his recording mode onto Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, and then adjusted its focal length so that it could record the Flaming Dragon Armor’s full glory.
While she slew the Void Eyes, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut never opened her eyes. Several colorful ball-like objects surrounded her and were suspended in mid-air. Every time an Eye popped up, the ball-like objects would automatically attack, assisting Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut in killing the Eyes.
‘Heh, the woman’s improved yet again in the short time since we last met.’
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had sealed off her Stats Panel, and as such, Li Yi could not see her level. All he could do to gauge her current strength was observe the skills she used.
“Boom! Boom!”
Each of Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s fists was like a gale-force wind, and though she could not kill the Eyes as fast as Li Yi could, it was still much faster than the normal players. It went without saying that she could only kill the monsters one at a time with her fists. However, the same could not be said of the ball-like objects around her. Not only could they focus fire on a single target, but they could also split up to attack the surrounding Eyes.
“One, two, three... Nine balls.”
There was a total of nine ball-like objects, and when they split up, they could defeat nine Eyes simultaneously.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut continued sending out her fists, and it was only after no new Eyes appeared that she finally opened her eyes and walked off to a new location.
Li Yi observed her figure from behind and attempted to determine her current level.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had been leveling up in the Shattered Bonewood for quite some time now, and the EXP gained from the Eyes was extremely high. Just from the fact that Li Yi had taken only a single day to go from Level 189 to 190 had proven how easy it was to level up there.
‘She spent months leveling up here, so how many levels has she gained? What about her Territory Power, what rank has it reached?’
When players gained EXP, they could either use it to enhance their Territory, or they could leave it be, allowing the players to level up instead.
Currently, Li Yi had been leveling both his Territory and his levels. He was balancing between the two of them.
‘Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut should be doing the same, right?’
Li Yi took out his Divine Looking Glass and keyed in Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. However, the results were disappointing, as her stats could not be displayed.
The damned item was useful sometimes, but sometimes it was useless. Its inconsistency left Li Yi speechless.
“Come out, Dolly!”
Li Yi extended his hand, and Dolly appeared within his palm. Before she managed to take off, Li Yi clamped her mouth shut.
“Go and carry out a sneak attack on the baddie,” ordered Li Yi to Dolly.
Although Li Yi knew that Dolly did not stand a chance against Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, it was good to let Dolly test the waters as Dolly had Metamorphosis, which prevented her from dying.
Dolly nodded her head vigorously, and Li Yi let go of her, allowing her to fly towards Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.
“Camouflage!”
Li Yi crouched down and blended in with his surroundings.
Dolly was a legendary pet, and as such, she was not inhibited by the restriction that required normal pets to be within 40 yards of their owners. If Li Yi had wished for it, he could even allow Dolly to run off and farm wild monsters by herself.
However, doing so was highly risky. While the ability of legendary pets to leave their owners was good, there was a downside to it as well. Once the pets got lost, they could never return again.
“Thud! Thud!”
Dolly raised her little bow and fired a Ceaseless Shot at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut who was focusing on killing the Eyes.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut did not even turn her head as the nine ball-like objects automatically floated upwards and intercepted the Ceaseless Shot.
Ka-cha! Ka-cha!
The two tiny arrows dropped onto the ground.
“Squeak?!”
Angered, Dolly lifted her little bow slightly upwards and fired a starry arc at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
All nine ball-like objects intercepted the shot again, and Overkill Arrow dropped onto the ground.
‘Such powerful defensive capabilities! The ball-like objects don’t have HP bars, which means they can’t be destroyed. They can also gather around or split up when attacking enemies, which makes them difficult to deal with.’
Li Yi analyzed the battle in private.
“SQUEAK!~”
Dolly was even angrier now. She flapped her little wings furiously and slashed an arc of black light in mid-air (An effect from equipping the Demonic Apex Equipment Set). A mere moment later, she appeared beside Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut with her bow taut.
“Thud! Thud!”
“Thud!”
Dolly was within three meters of Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. At such a distance, even the nine ball-like objects were unable to perfectly intercept her attacks.
Pew! Pew!
[?27677]
[?16664]
Two damage counters popped up from Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s head.
“Hmm?”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut turned her head around and stared at Dolly in surprise.
After killing Void Eyes for several months, the only monsters she had encountered here were the Eyes, and as such, she was surprised at seeing Dolly.
“I-I-Is this ... an angel series monster?”
“Squeeal~”
Dolly cared not for matters like this and raised her bow and fired it instead. However, before the arrow was even shot, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut vanished and appeared suddenly before Dolly. She thrust out her hand and grabbed Dolly within it.
