“Can you still save me?”
“I can’t right now, just stay there for a bit.”
The Cat that Sings died and Li Yi successfully escape from the battle, but those Seven-tailed and Eight-tailed Scorpions that were immune to both physical and magical attacks not only did not despawn, they were crawling all around the ground where the Nine-tailed Scorpion King stood.
“F*ck, why the hell are there suddenly so many mobs?” The Cat that Sings screamed.
Li Yi replied, “I’m guessing it had something to do with you attacking the Nine-tailed Scorpion King.”
All these Seven-tailed and Eight-tailed Scorpions appeared after The Cat that Sings attacked the Nine-tailed Scorpion King. Before then, the Nine-tailed Scorpion King was the only monster in the area.
“Could it be that everytime the Nine-tailed Scorpion King gets hit, one new mob will come out?”
Li Yi took a few steps back, shooting an arrow over at the Nine-tailed Scorpion King. Before the arrow landed, he immediately used Pseudocide, avoiding the aggro.
“Poof!”
[-566771!]
A red damage number appeared above the Nine-tailed Scorpion King’s head. Just a moment later, an Eight-tailed Scorpion squirmed its way from under the Nine-tailed Scorpion King’s body.
‘So that was the case!’
Li Yi finally understood.
This pile of Scorpion mobs was the creation of Sister Cat’s Cyclone Formation.
Every time the Nine-tailed Scorpion King suffers a hit, a new mob would spawn. The Cat that Sings had been at it for a long time, so naturally the number of mobs would have started to pile up.
Li Yi conveyed his hypothesis to The Cat that Sings.
“Then what should we do? Will these mobs despawn?”
“I don’t know, let’s just wait a bit and see.”
Li Yi sat down cross-legged and started to take a break, whereas The Cat that Sings could not bear the loneliness as she started to curse out loud.
That foul-mouthed cat was truly an annoying person to deal with. The reason The Mountain, Jiggly, and Empyrean South did not want to party with her was precisely because they could not take that trash-talking mouth of hers.
Sometimes, even Li Yi would not be able to take it. When that happens, he had no choice but to just mute her completely.
In the blink of an eye, an hour has passed, but these scorpion mobs were all still here, none of them had despawned.
“This b*ch can’t take this no more, Imma go back.” The Cat that Sings groaned as her corpse was covered in scorpions.
If a player dies in the Tower of Remorse, the corpse would not be forcefully sent back to the city after 30 minutes. Dying on the Tower of Remorse was an exceedingly common occurrence, other than lending the aid of the red-robed spirits, as long as they could find the corpse, any player would be able to use and sort of resurrect spell to easily resurrect their party members.
However, The Cat that Sings was lying inside a giant pile of scorpions. If Li Yi used his Dark Resurrection Spell, she would be back on her feet instantly. However, doing that was completely useless. Even if her abilities were double or even amplified by ten times, Sister Cat still would not be able to get out of the scorpion pile alive.
At this point, the best course of action right now would be to wait till these scorpion mobs despawn and then using a Cardiac Pacemaker to save her.
The only problem, after looking at the situation at hand, was that these scorpion mobs seemingly would not despawn over time.
“Can you still do it or not? If you can’t I’ll really leave.”
“Just wait.”
Li Yi closed his eyes to think momentarily, trying to find a solution.
‘How ’bout this? I’ll use my Dark Resurrection spell to resurrect you later, but don’t resurrect yet. Let me aggro all the scorpions away first. Then, you get up and run over to the two treasure chests guarded by the Nine-Tailed Scorpion King as fast as possible.”
“What if the treasure chest can’t be opened?”
“If it can’t open, then it’s just our bad luck. By then, we might as well just suicide home, save us both some time.”
“Ok, I’ll follow your instructions.”
Since the scorpion mobs had not despawned yet, there was really no point in continuing to stall. Why not just take a gamble?
After eating Sister Cat’s Nine-tailed Scorpion King Cyclone Ritual straight on, but yet its health bar still was displayed. This meant that it was as much of a damage sponge as the Cactus King.
If its HP was actually above 2,000,000,000, could it even be one-shot?
It was improbable!
Based on Li Yi’s individual strength alone, it was definitely not possible to one-shot the Nine-tailed Scorpion King. Unless he finds several people that were at similar levels to him and coordinate their attacks, there was no way of insta-killing this monster.
If the insta-kill failed, then they would be bombarded by a bunch of invincible scorpion mobs. Who could’ve survive?
Since they could not kill the Nine-tailed Scorpion King, all they could do was the next best thing, which was to get their hands on those two treasure chest.
However, whether the treasure chests could be open was still an unknown factor. Li Yi’s suggestion reeked of risk.
All in!
Go big or go home!
Li Yi used Dark Resurrection Spell on Sister Cat before aiming his orange bow and using Overlord Arrow on the group of scorpions.
“Ptschhh——”
Two True Overlord Arrows fired as Li Yi quickly leaped backwards and hightailed out of there.
“Hiss hiss…”
“Hiss hiss…”
As the Seven-tailed and Eight-tailed Scorpions got attacked, they all started to chase after Li Yi. Thousands of scorpion mobs all flooded out of their nest. Soon, Sister Cat’s buried corpse had also emerged.
“Resurrect!”
As The Cat that Sings stood up from the ground, due to the effects of the Dark Resurrection Spell, all the poison in her body has been cleansed. Her own attributes were even doubled.
“Whoooooosh…”
Although The Cat that Sings had a toxic mouth, but her skills were definitely top-notch. As soon as she stood up, she instantly used Cyclone Step and headed over to one of the silver treasure chests. Then, she bent over with her butt up high to unlock the chest.
“Click-click-click-click-clack…”
A blue channeling bar appeared on top of the silver treasure chest. This was a chest with a channeling bar. As soon as the channeling bar completes, the treasure chest will open.
“Hiss——”
The Nine-tailed Scorpion King was not having any of it. It raised its tail up high and whipped it over towards The Cat that Sings.
The Cat that Sings stopped opening that lock as he dove into a combat roll, heading over to the other silver treasure chest. Once again, she bent down and started to unlock the chest.
When the channeling was interrupted, it needed to restart from scratch all over again. As the Nine-tailed Scorpion King waved its tail around, it repeatedly attacked The Cat that Sings. There was nothing Sister Cat could do other than dodging back and forth trying her best to open the chests.
“F*ck this! This is impossible! This bastard keeps whacking me, how am I supposed to get the channeling bar up?”
Li Yi did not answer her. At this point, he had already ran quite a distance, there was no way he could hear Sister Cat’s words.
The Cat that Sings reiterated her concerns once more in the party chat, “F*ck this! This is impossible! This bastard keeps attacking me, do I continue or not?”
“Just continue dodging, help is on the way.”
“Squeak! Squeak!”
As Li Yi just finished, Dolly was already flapping her wings over. In her hands was a giant Universal Key. She was pouting, looking like she was at the verge of tears.
Her little bow had been confiscated by Li Yi. Furthermore, that evil-hearted master of hers even gave her a ridiculous order. He wanted her to bring over the Universal Key all the way over here to open the chest. She was extremely unhappy, that’s why she wanted to cry.
“Squeak! Squeak!”
After Dolly circled around the Nine-tailed Scorpion a few times, she landed over at the treasure chest on the left, pushing the Universal Key into the keyhole.
“Click-click-click-click-clack…”
The blue channeling bar appeared and slowly started to go down.
With Dolly on the left and The Cat that SIngs on the right, the two opened the chests at the same time, not giving the Nine-tailed Scorpion King to take action.
“Hiss hiss——”
The Nine-tailed Scorpion King let out a few weird growls as its body suddenly glowed brightly. Then, as it furiously shook its body, countless Seven-tailed Scorpions and Eight-tailed Scorpions crawled out from below its body…
The Nine-tailed Scorpion King had the ability to reproduce offspring at any given moment.
The Cat that Sings roared out loud, “DON’t STOP! I’LL OPEN IT EVEN IF I DIE!”
“Bwaaaaah…” Dolly was so scared by her scream that she started to bawl out loud. However, her hands did not stop, the blue channeling bar continued on.
When the Nine-tailed Scorpion King was reproducing, all nine of its tails were pointed downwards. At this point, it could not attack. It indirectly helped out Dolly and Sister Cat, allowing them to continue opening the chests.
“Ka-chak!”
“Ka-chak!”
The two silver treasure chests both opened within one second of each other. After The Cat that Sings reached her hand out and swiped the drop, she immediately rushed over to the other treasure chest to grab the other drop.
“Bwahaha, all done! This b*tch can get f*cked in glory.”
“Squeak squeaaak!”
Seeing Sister Cat being happy, Dolly also turned that frown upside down, squeaking out in joy.
“Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!”
The scorpions that the Nine-tailed Scorpion King gave birth to suddenly grew in size, instantly burying Sister Cat and Dolly…
Sister Cat used Stealth, but she failed… She dropped to the ground…
Dolly wanted to fly away, but she failed… She turned back into an egg…
One player and one pet had died being trampled by the feet of the newborn scorpion brigade.
Li Yi who had been bringing the first scorpion brigade for a run did not escape this inevitable fate. No matter if he used Stealth or Pseudocide, he still could not escape from battle. In the end, he was torn to shreds by thousands of scorpions…
Li Yi and The Cat that Sings decided to return to the city, reviving at the Starting Point City’s temple.
The Cat that Sings laughed maniacally. “Hahaha, the stuff that we looted didn’t drop! Big Yi’zi, we’ve really struck gold this time!”
Li Yi pulled out Dolly who had reverted into an egg. After confirming that she was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Cat that Sings placed all the war trophies she had grabbed from the chests on the ground in front of Li Yi.
This place was the internal temple of the Starting Point City. Only the natives of the Starting Point City had access to this room, hence they were not worried about their items being stolen.
The Cat that Sings did not just loot out a couple of items from the two silver treasure chests, she looted a whole pile…
At the very top was a small pile of shiny stones. Taking it closer and inspecting the rocks, they were all called Class Change Stones.
[Class Change Stone: Give this stone to your Skill Mentor along with a small fee, then you will be able to reselect your class.]
[Note: After using the Class Change Stone, your Skill Points will automatically reset. The effect is the same as resetting your Skill Points with the Skill Mentor.]
After a quick count, Li Yi found that there were a total of 15 Class Change Stones.
This was quite a good item. With this item, he could change his current class into a completely new class without changing his current level. The total amount of Skill Points he would still have would also not have any changes, since everything would be reset, so it would allow the player to re-distribute all their points in any manner they like.
To a lot of players,there was nothing worse than regretting playing a class. With this stone, all of their worries would be resolved.
“Regarding the Class Change Stones, I’ll take two of them, you can take the rest.”
The Cat that Sings picked up two Class Change Stones and pushed the remaining to Li Yi.
Then, The Cat that Sings picked up three scrolls and passed them to Li Yi. They were all God Summoning Scrolls, one for the Water God, one for the Fire God, and one for the Wind God.
This item was extremely useful. Frankly, with just one of these, it was enough to annihilate an entire nation.
“I don’t need this thing, you can take it all.”
Next, The Cat that Sings picked up another nameless yellow scroll filled with ancient runes. After taking a few looks at it, he just tossed it aside.
“F*cking useless piece of sh*t, Imma toss it.”
“Toss your f*cking *ss!”
Li Yi quickly walked over and grabbed onto the nameless scroll tightly in his hands.
F*ckign hell, this was a ‘Divine Tome’!
