Chapter 437: Battle of the Wolf King (Repayment 1)
Once Li Yao accepted the task, Eileen nodded and said: “Good, let me explain the rules, listen carefully, it’s related to how many pets you can bring, so make sure not to be distracted.”
“Please guide me.” Although Li Yao was well versed with the rules, he made sure to show respect.
“Hmm, the trial is divided into stages, you’ll get corresponding benefits for each stage you pass. But it’s okay even if you don’t reach the high stages, apart from this time, you’ll have a chance to retake the trial every time you level up by five. So, don’t be pressurized, just give your best.” Eileen explained slowly.
“I understand,” Li Yao was very clear, the rules meant that if he failed in the second stage, it didn’t matter. Then, each time he leveled up by five, he would get another chance to retry.
This was a humane setting by the ancient god. Failing now didn’t mean that it couldn’t be rectified in the future.
After all, many people weren’t strong at the beginning and couldn’t achieve good results in the trial. But later, when their strength improved, the previous results were a glaring shortcoming.
Just because one is not a master now doesn’t mean they can’t be a master in the future. This prevents the situation where a master can always suppress others and is one of the most highly regarded settings.
For instance, Li Yao, his strength was not great at the start of his previous life. He gradually improved during the trial tasks when his skills elevated.
“Very good, the trial is divided into three levels: elite level, silver British level, and boss level. For instance, if you choose the elite-level trial and complete the second-stage trial, then you can summon two pets below elite level to fight for you, but still only one pet above elite level. For the silver British-level trial, after completing the second stage, you can have two silver British pets fight for you at the same time, but still only one boss level pet. The boss level trial is the highest difficulty. After completing the second stage, you can summon two boss-level pets to fight. Of course, if you summon regular pets, the number is still two,” Eileen shared extensively. “Do you understand these rules?”
“I understand, the quality of summoned pets is related to the difficulty of completion, but the number of summoned pets is related to the stages completed,” Li Yao replied earnestly, he knew this was Eileen’s special treatment. Normally, she wouldn’t explain so much to those taking the trial, they had to refer directly to the task log. If they didn’t understand or didn’t get it, it was their own fault.
“That’s good. You have the multi-headed snake pet. If you want to summon multiple pets, you must choose the boss-level trial. The first stage is simple. The beast god will let you mentally control a powerful beast for a fight, and you must shoot with a bow and arrow. Whether or not you pass will be judged based on your performance. Scores are out of ten, a score of six or above is passing, but you’ll need to score above nine to be eligible for the next stage of the trial,” Eileen said: “If you understand, let me know and we will start the trial immediately.”
“I get it, let’s start.”
This was a simple task of doing two things at once. Even though it was quite challenging for regular players, it was a piece of cake for Li Yao.
“Second order novice Prairie Fire, you have three chances to fail, three trials, the best result counts.” Eileen could only help Li Yao by explaining the rules clearly, she couldn’t cheat for him. With a wave of her hand, she declared, “Boss level difficulty, first stage trial, begin.”
As the scene changed, Li Yao found himself alone in the arena, with many moving straw men at a distance.
On the other side was an endless prairie, where countless Demon Wolves had formed a huge arena.
A young twenty-level boss-level Demon Wolf and an older leader Demon Wolf stared at each other in the center of the field, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.
“System: After the trial starts, moving straw men will be in motion, hitting lethal areas has damage bonus, eliminating constantly appearing moving straw men. The other side is the wolf king contention, you will use your spirit to control the young Demon Wolf, defeat the old wolf king, and become the new Demon Wolf king. Trial countdown begins: 15, 14, 13 ….”
The elite level trial involves controlling elite combat, silver British involves controlling silver British level combat; Li Yao was not nervous. The Demon Wolf was already his pet; Li Yao directly partitioned his spirit to take over control of the Demon Wolf.
As for the target, he wasn’t joking. With so many years of archery practice, for such a moving target he doesn’t even have to aim, he can hit it precisely just by feeling.
Li Yao checked the Demon Wolf’s skills, they were Stealth, Wild Roar, Claw Strike, Ferocious Bite, Wild Leap, Crazy Scratching Dance, Demolition.
There wasn’t much to say about Stealth, it was the same as that of a rogue. Savage Roar was a buff, increasing attributes. The others were all damage skills.
The trial targets were also random, could be Demon Wolf, tiger, Demon Dragon, or even a Giant.
With the countdown ending, Li Yao immediately activated Stealth.
The old wolf also instantly entered stealth mode, thousands of watching Demon Wolves howled, expressing their excited feelings with roars.
Meanwhile, the straw man targets also started moving. Li Yao began to shoot with his Blue Moon Bow, however, the majority of his attention was on the Demon Wolf.
This field was a prairie, Li Yao watched the waving green grass while observing how it swayed with the wind, trying to be as slow as possible to halt the old wolf from discerning his position.
He could not dare to stay in the same position; if the old wolf pounced on him, he’d be in trouble. The old wolf was the king, unlike him, there was still a slight difference in attributes, he could not afford a head-on confrontation.
Furthermore, Li Yao couldn’t afford to be careless. NPCs were much more powerful than players now, players were too naive compared to the monsters and NPCs created by the system.
Li Yao’s ears also perked up as he moved, simultaneously observing changes in the grassland, trying to locate the old wolf king and aiming to attack first.
The old wolf was incredibly cunning, equally proficient in Stealth. Both of them were continuously trying to find each other’s traces, five minutes had already passed.
The old wolf king hadn’t shown any openings, causing Li Yao to frown. As an old wolf king, hunting skills were imperative and patience was the most important aspect of hunting.
Li Yao didn’t lack patience either, but he didn’t want to keep dragging it on like this.
Li Yao intentionally made a noise as if he had been careless, the old wolf king immediately pounced.
Although Li Yao couldn’t see it, he could still sense the fluctuation in the air.
Li Yao did not hesitate and rolled away continuously after making the noise.
Whoosh…
Thump…
The old wolf swooped in for an attack, landing on the ground with a thud.
Meanwhile, Li Yao, who had rolled away and just managed to stand up, activated Wild Leap.
Thud…
Li Yao controlled the Demon Wolf’s claws to fiercely tear open wounds on the old wolf’s body, at the same time both their forms were revealed.
The old wolf had been thrown to the ground, while Li Yao’s Demon Wolf was ferociously biting it. There were six deep bloody wounds on the old wolf’s belly, from which blood was gushing heavily.
The younger Demon Wolf too had three bloody marks on the left side of its body, blood was flowing freely as well…
ps: Still making it up.
