MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Try

“How’s it going? Do you have any ways to get on the platform?” Qin Fengyi asked. The second corridor linking to the third platform was further and there were more mobs patrolling around the corridor.

“Big Bro is much smarter than Tong, he would surely be able to think of a way.” AdorkableTong grunted. “Your fans think that Big Bro can’t think of a way to get through. If they don’t believe he can, they should top up more ingots. But now they don’t even dare to increase their bets anymore, such chickens, hmm…”

Fans that were watching the livestream were baffled for a moment. In fact, it was because a lot of people have overdrawn their CPs for today, and it was almost impossible to take more out now.

“My Heavy Crossbow’s range can reach about a hundred and fifty yards, but with the rope, the force of the arrow will be reduced, I need to think of a way to increase the power of my Heavy Crossbow. Besides, there’s another problem, it is not easy to estimate the rope’s load-bearing abilities, and I don’t know if it can withstand my weight. I can’t calculate it so I will need to try it out.” Li Yao frowned.

“The third platform is about two-hundred yards high, a fall from such a height is enough to kill a Level 10 Elite. Wouldn’t it be too risky to try it out?” Fengyi replied hesitantly.

“It’s fine, I know what I’m doing, I’ll just try it once.”

Li Yao took out his Heavy Crossbow and loaded it with an arrow that was layered with a special arrowhead. Then, he tied a rope to the arrow.

“Big Bro, what’s the purpose of that arrowhead?” Tong asked curiously.

While Li Yao was carefully installing the arrow, he replied, “When this kind of arrow penetrates into an enemy’s body, it will open up and grapple onto the enemy firmly, especially if the enemy you’re facing is an Arcane Guardian that is made of metal. You’ll find out in a minute anyway.”

“But you’re still too far away, aren’t you? How’re you going to close in on the distance gap?” Fengyi asked, intrigued.

“I think I kind of know how.” Tong seemed to have thought of something, but she frowned. “But it’s still too dangerous, it’s literally a matter of life and death!”

“No worries, I’ll try it out. If it doesn’t work, I’ll improve it, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem.” Li Yao’s gaze was still fixated on the opposite platform.

The opposite platform was basically the same level as the dome they were on, they could clearly see what was going on at the opposite platform.

The opposite platform was even bigger in size, and although there were still statues that resembled pillars, there was no dome. There were also a water fountain, flowers and trees on it, like a small garden.

In the middle was a wide, scarlet carpet that extended to the far side of the stairs. It looked similar to the other platforms, but the steps were so high that one could no longer see what was happening above the steps.

All the audience could see were Arcane Guardians roaming all around the sky garden. At that moment, one of the Arcane Guardians at the outermost edge of the platform was slowly patrolling over toward their side.

Whether it was the TV or livestream audience, their eyes were glued to the screen and they held their breath at that critical moment, wanting to see how Li Yao would solve this difficult problem.

The previous method used to clear the Elites and cross to the other platform could not be used here, he had to think of new ways to do it.

Then, Li Yao was seen jumping backward. He was no longer on the second dome and was in mid-air.

His body was seen flying backward at a distance of forty yards, then Li Yao turned abruptly and released the arrow on his Heavy Crossbow.

Bang, clink…

The steel arrow with rope penetrated into the Arcane Guardian’s neck. Then, Li Yao grabbed onto the rope as he plummeted downward due to gravity.

Tong and Fengyi screamed, then they saw Li Yao’s body suddenly stop plummeting as he swung out with the rope in his hands.

The steel arrow dug deeper into the body of the Arcane Guardian. As the weight of Li Yao’s body caused the steel arrow to make an unpleasant sound, the puppet involuntarily took a step forward and was about to fall.

With the power of the rope that was swung like a swing, Li Yao swung to the bottom of the third platform.

With his splintered hands, Li Yao flung out a Snake Trap.

Clang clang clang clang…

Half of the Arcane Guardian’s body smashed onto the platform, causing the platform to tremble from the shockwave. With Li Yao’s swinging force, half of the suspended body of the Arcane Guardian fell down, headlong.

The metallic snake began to fly upward aided by the force of the throw and then quickly wrapped itself around the pillar.

When Li Yao saw the Arcane Guardian go down, he let go of the rope, but he was still firmly grasping onto the rope that was connected to the Snake Trap.

As Li Yao’s body hung downward caused by gravitational force, the rope around the pillar tightened abruptly. The body of the metallic snake circled around the rope and was tied into a dead knot.

Rumble…

The Arcane Guardian’s body crashed into the ground and formed a huge crater on the grass field, it was lifeless.

Just as everyone was about to cheer for Li Yao, they heard the rope in Li Yao’s hand squeak, and then it broke with a snap.

The rope in his hand snapped at the position where the pillar and platform were linked.

Even though they were not there on the spot, everyone unwittingly let out a horrified gasp. As the rope snapped, Li Yao plummeted downward like a meteor.

“Big Brother!” Tong shrieked.

Some spectators and fans were terrified and had their eyes shut.

Then, there was a gasp of surprise and disbelief, it was because Li Yao was not killed by the fall, he was covered in mud and was still alive.

“That’s impossible!” Tina lost her professionalism as a hostess for the first time and exclaimed in shock.

KB looked profoundly at the calm Li Yao, he remained silent.

People watching the live broadcast suddenly began to stir up a ruckus.

“That’s the end of Liao Yuan for today.”

“I know right, his technique is sh*t and he wasted everyone’s time, what’s there to see? Time for us to go.”

“What kind of nonsense is this, did I just waste more than an hour for this?”

However, no one cared about these comments, and the chat box at the side of the screen was flooded with messages.

“Why didn’t master Liao Yuan die?”

“Damn, I can’t believe what I’ve just seen with my eyes.”

“Can some experts please explain to us why didn’t Liao Yuan die from a hundred yards’ fall?”

“Same, can someone please explain? Could it be some kind of bug?”

“Although it didn’t work, master Liao Yuan’s plan was fine, the only problem was that the rope wasn’t strong enough.”

“Master Liao Yuan is so mighty and powerful, but I’m seeking for an explanation.”

In the TV station, Tina was also bombarded with countless messages. “KB, please enlighten everyone, even I don’t understand what I’ve just seen.”

“Liao Yuan is truly a genius! His understanding of being a Hunter is at an extreme level.” KB’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the footage that had been slowed down several times. “Look, everyone, he’s using the Hunter’s Back Leap skill. It was the same skill book dropped by the previous Boss. It allows him to jump backward by forty yards.”

“As you can see, he tried to turn around while leaping backward. And by the time he reached the leap’s peak, he turned around to face the third platform and was able to shoot the Arcane Guardian’s neck with just an arrow.”

“I’m sure that everyone knows that if he wasn’t able to hit the Arcane Guardian in that split second, he would have fallen to his death, but he aimed and shot the neck of the Arcane Guardian in that critical second. There is a certain explanation as to which part of the body should be hit.”

“This method is ingenious. Look, the force of Liao Yuan’s body falling yanked the Arcane Guardian down. You can see that the force was great, and as the Arcane Guardian fell onto the ground, half of its body was still on the platform. The fall of Liao Yuan’s body weight dragged the Arcane Puppet off the platform.”

“At the same time, Liao Yuan used his specialized Snake Trap and tossed out a metallic snake to wrap around the platform’s pillar. By using the Arcane Guardian’s body, he was able to offload a lot of force and grab onto the second rope. His plan was simply ingenious and perfect, but unfortunately, the rope wasn’t able to hold on to much weight.”

Tina interjected, “Wouldn’t it be better if he shot the steel arrow at the chest of the Arcane Guardian? It would hold on better and maybe the second rope wouldn’t break off that easily.”

“You’re right, that’s what I was trying to say, but the arrow must be shot at the neck. That’s because If it was shot below the chest, the Arcane Guardian is less likely to fall, and even if the offloading succeeds and the rope doesn’t break, Liao Yuan will be in battle mode. How is he going to get up there with the Arcane Guardians still up there? So, the Arcane Guardian must be pulled off the platform, which was the reason why he had to shoot it at its neck.” KB explained.

“I see, so that’s how it is,” Tina finally understood the logic behind it. Looking at the text, she asked again, “One more question from the audience, since master Liao Yuan’s Snake Trap is so special and it can also fly, why can’t he just have the metal snake fly and carry the rope directly over to the pillar and wrap itself around it? Or why not use two ropes?”

“That is simply impossible, this was part of the problem with the skill’s mechanism. The metal snake can’t carry such a long rope, it was a rope of hundred yards in length. Didn’t you guys notice that after Liao Yuan threw out the rope and trap by himself, the metal snake had an instant burst of force strong enough to wrap the rope around the pillar twice? After that, the metal snake started to weaken. If I’m not mistaken, this trap can restrain an enemy for one to two seconds. As for the two coils of rope, look at how big they are. How is he able to take it out of his backpack when both of his arms were busy holding onto the rope, let alone throw it out?”

“Okay, so here’s the question that everyone is most concerned about. Why didn’t master Liao Yuan die after falling from such a height, was it a bug?” Tina asked the most crucial question.

“Of course it’s not a bug, everyone look at the clip closely. When Liao Yuan was about to fall to the ground, he used Shadow Flip.”

In the clip, when Li Yao was about to reach the ground, he used several continuous Shadow Flips. Then, his body was propelled for quite some distance before he started rolling on the ground. Although he had lost more than half of his Health, he did not die.

“Shadow Flip is a forced skill that guides Liao Yuan’s body to move laterally, and with a few Shadow Flips, the force of his descend became a horizontal thrust force. Hence, this is the result that all of you have seen. For your information, the Mage’s Flash and Cold Barrier can allow them to fall from high grounds without dying, so can Paladin’s Holy Shield, so this is simply not a bug. Of course, this is only theoretically possible, it’s best to not try it out. A lot of Mage experts from guilds tried to use Flash in such situations, most of them died.”

“That sounds awesome! Although it didn’t work out, but I can still feel my blood boiling!” Tina exclaimed.

“Yeah, it’s too bad. I’m impressed though, the plan was okay, but God forbid. If he can’t solve the offloading problem, they won’t be able to get up the next platform.” KB sounded a little bit demotivated.

Similarly, the spectators were unsatisfied. Although everything happened in just a short while, but the series of actions gave them a thrilling sensation.

“Big Bro, are you okay?” Tong was lying on the platform looking down at Li Yao.

“I’m fine, I just thought of a new solution. I don’t know if it would work or not, but it is worth a try again.” Li Yao replied.
