Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Digging a Pit (Extra 400 monthly tickets)

“Hahaha, your face is full of slime, sorry, allow me to indulge in some evil laughter, hahaha.” KB burst out laughing at the sight of Li Yao’s disheveled state, frankly, he had gotten quite the face slap from Li Yao earlier. Now seeing Li Yao embarrassing himself, he was thoroughly enjoying the schadenfreude.

“You’re such a dirty boy.” Xiao Ze chided, but the quivering corner of her lips betrayed her amusement.

Upon the audience’s enthusiastic demand, the footage replayed, showing Li Yao cautiously sneaking around.

It was smooth sailing all the way until he reached a turn, where Li Yao got distracted by a boss-level monster in the distance, not paying attention to his surroundings.

A brain-eater, with its head covered in slime like a tentacle, had caught hold of Li Yao. If it wasn’t for Li Yao promptly activating Intimidation and bouncing the monster off due to his high health point, he might have died under the deathly smooch of the brain-eater.

“Wait a sec, Yi Yao’s move should be counted as sneaking, right? Why was he still discovered?” The host asked in confusion.

“As for a thief-like sneak, judging from previous observations, it is clearly inferior to a real thief’s sneak. But Yi Yao seems to have done some research on a thief’s sneak. He’s so practiced, and moves so lightly, almost as if he’s not exerting any effort. It really is beyond comprehension.” KB explained.

“Huh, it’s a real mystery how he knows so many techniques. The vast majority of thieves don’t even do as well as him. The discovery this time was mainly because a boss in the distance caught his attention and the brain-eater was just around the corner, making no sound at all. The two were too close. Even the sneak of a real thief would be detected, let alone Prairie Fire’s, which is not even as good as an actual sneak.” Xiao Ze explained.

“I think I’ve finally figured out what Prairie Fire’s plan is.” KB suddenly announced.

“What?” Xiao Ze was puzzled.

“Haven’t you noticed? The way Prairie Fire is clearing out monsters is quite systematic. Although I can’t see why he’s clearing some monsters here and others there, you see, he’s even disturbing the stone pillars at the main gate. It looks like he’s digging a pit.” KB said earnestly.

“You’re saying, Prairie Fire is treating this place like a battleground? That can’t be, look at this.” Xiao Ze gestured at the light screen: “Look, according to the system analytics data, over twenty thousand people are converging in this direction. In the vicinity, there are already over a thousand searching for Prairie Fire.”

Seeing the staggering statistics, the audience collectively gasped, taken aback by the sheer number. But it also gave them a sense of the value of Angel’s Wing.

KB said Li Yao was digging a pit, but the question was, how? There were already a thousand people there, with more on the way. The number was simply terrifying.

Yes, they admitted, Li Yao was formidable, but those elite players weren’t lambs. Even if they weren’t a match for him one-on-one, with that many people, they could simply crush him under the sheer weight of their numbers.

“Prairie Fire is playing a big game this time.”

“Feels like he’s committing suicide. He really thinks he’s a god.”

“Why don’t you go and rant when Prairie Fire was flexing his prowess just now?”

“What’s the point of talking to someone like this? They only ever complain.” The spectator stands had turned into a mess.

“I know it’s hard to believe, but look, what’s he doing?” KB pointed at Li Yao on screen.

“Is he setting up a trap?” Zhao Li hesitated before guessing.

“He’s clearly setting a trap, but what’s the use of these traps without any skill effects?” Xiao Ze frowned.

“That’s a question for Prairie Fire. Who can guess what he’s thinking?” KB said helplessly: “Look, he’s haphazardly clearing out monsters. If he’s farming points, he would simply farm them directly. Why is he hopping around? And then setting up some simple, seemingly pointless traps. You tell me, if this isn’t digging a pit, then what is it?”

“But this pit, isn’t it a bit too big? If he’s not careful, he’s going to bury himself.” Xiao Ze glanced at the time and continued: “He’s been preparing for half an hour already, his points have been surpassed by others.”

“This just further proves that he wants to play a big game. I smell blood in the air. Even though I still find it hard to believe that he can deal with this many people.” KB said.

“Let’s just wait and see.” Xiao Ze felt a hint of anticipation.

Not just her, all the spectators were eager to see how Li Yao would handle this major crisis.

As long as Li Yao remained cautious, the brain-eaters posed minimal threat to him. Having cleared out quite a few monsters and set up some traps, Li Yao checked the time. An hour had passed since the trial began.

Even worse, a few players had already surpassed his points. To his surprise, Tie Niu was in third place. Clearly, the guy was a killing machine, but Li Yao wasn’t surprised.

Tie Niu’s superfast teleportation was even more freakish than a Mage’s. His elusive movements made it difficult for any monster-or player-to get to him. Especially in this kind of setting, the continuous rapid teleportation was nothing short of a god-tier skill.

“Everyone’s really pushing their limits, huh. I can’t afford to fall behind.” Li Yao whistled. The Fire Hawk appeared mid-air and flew towards the sky.

The Fire Hawk circled and cried out loudly in the high sky.

The image of the Fire Hawk was too conspicuous, similar to a fire god in the sky. The sky was already pretty gloomy here, the Fire Hawk was extremely eye-catching.

The players around the Duke’s mansion immediately noticed the circling Fire Hawk, causing a commotion in the regional chat.

The perimeter wall of the Duke’s mansion was more or less a city wall, approximately eighty yards high, a veritable sky mark for players.

Moreover, there were several guards with their bodies bloated and torn apart on the wall. Aside from the main gate, the other three directions were just a smelly moat full of rotten fish. The players could even see large fish covered in sharp spines, just from their appearances, they looked quite menacing.

After observing for a while, the elite players gave up on the idea of scaling the wall and began looking for the main gate.

The huge metal gate of the main entrance, however, was shut. Only the side door had a small crack, as if torn apart by something.

One player spotted the crack in the side door and saw that the doorway was over twenty yards in length, and the crack was only wide enough to let one player through.

In just a short time, a dozen players had gathered there. They had clearly been searching for Li Yao nearby.

Through the crack, they could see Li Yao in the distance. But no one acted rashly, the crack was too narrow. Going in would make them easy targets for Li Yao.

Snap…

With a soft sound, a spike trap was triggered, and the cracked entrance was now bristling with spikes.

A thief looked up in disbelief at Li Yao, only to see Li Yao waving at him, saying: “Adios, mate. Safe travels.”

Snap, snap, snap…

The three arrow towers set up along the edges of the passage immediately mowed down the thief.

“So we do indeed have a pioneer here. I salute to those who dared to go first. So, anyone else willing to deliver themselves into the jaws of death? I could use some more points.” Li Yao called out to the people outside…
