Translator: 549690339

“What’s going on here?”

The other three were confounded, they came to hunt monsters, it seemed like they’d provoked an army instead.

“These Werewolves are not to be trifled with, we’re in serious trouble now.” Li Yao managed to grimace as he sprinted.

Entering a civilization level meant order. It meant they weren’t dealing with uncivilized monsters but creatures with advanced wisdom.

In previous games, when the players had gained enough strength, they could wipe out entire towns and kill the world boss.

But in “The Ancient God World, ” the real world boss with its massive health points, defense, and resistance is absolutely terrifying. Even a million players would find it difficult to kill.

In the last world, what was called wiping out a town was actually due to some story development that let to dwindling military power in the main city.

Only with millions of players could they potentially break into the main city, and even then all they could do was cause damage and kill a few players. Occupying the main city was absolutely impossible.

Monsters were the same. At low levels. to accommodate the players. monsters were designed similarly.

But as the level progressed and the intelligence of the monsters increased, they could no longer merely be treated as monsters.

Take the werewolves for example, ordinary werewolves were only a step away from advanced wisdom.

However, some clans had werewolf leaders with mutations, who could mobilise the power of the entire tribe. Just like now, they had actually learned how to charge in formation and use buildings for various defensive purposes. Furthermore, for them, the usual hatred mechanism was already ineffective.

Just like the werewolf who became wary as soon as it saw Li Yao and immediately began to attack when he got close. It was entirely like the guards of creatures with high intelligence.

Most importantly, why were player characters powerful? It was because of their cooperation. But what if the monsters also learned to cooperate? And in the form of an army, with Li Yao’s current strength, if the enemy fired a volley of arrows, he would have nowhere to dodge and would instantly be defeated.

Challenging monsters and an organized army were two entirely different concepts.

“We’re really in trouble this time.” The Angel Guardian was sweating profusely as he realized that hundreds of werewolves had not given up but were closing in progressively.

“It’s fine.” Li Yao took out a scroll from his bag and tore it open abruptly.

A green light enveloped the few members of the group, and their speed suddenly doubled, they managed to increase the distance between them and their enemy like a gust of wind.

Group Speed Boost Scroll: Upon use, it doubles the movement speed of the squad for 15 seconds.

“Rich man.” Zhao Lei complained: “That’s ten silver coins gone.”

“You even bought that? Are you burning money?” Angel Guardian was distressed.

“But it’s useful.” Li Yao shrugged.

“But useless though, it only lasts for a few seconds.” Fruit Knight frowned.

By this time, everyone had followed Li Yao into a dense forest.

“I’m not expecting that this will let us get away, but we’ll temporarily escape the werewolves’ field of vision. That will give us the chance to hide, otherwise, these guys will persist. We’ll be caught up with soon and transformed into porcupines.”

Li Yao turned back to glimpse, having blocked the werewolf army’s view, he halted.

“Yaozi, what should we do? Won’t they pursue us if they reach the forest?” Zhao Lei asked dubiously.

“Grow up, will a group of werewolves that can form an army to deal with us, stop chasing because of a measly forest?” Li Yao said helplessly: “Have you all learned the climbing skill?”

“I have learned it.” “Me too.”

All three nodded in affirmation.

“That’s good.” Li Yao looked up at the towering tree that shielded the sky. He took out the crossbow, fitted a steel arrow linked with a rope, and abruptly pulled the trigger.

Bang…

The steel arrow drilled into the thick branches and leaves above and went deep into the tree trunk. Li Yao tested the strength of the rope and passed it to Zhao Lei, saying, “Climb up fast.”

Without waiting for Zhao Lei’s reply, he filled the arrow shaft again and aimed at another big tree.

Subsequently, he linked three big trees in sequence. The others also understood his intention and climbed up the big tree along the ropes, pulling the rope up after.

The branches and leaves on the top of the tree were amazingly dense. From below, it was impossible to see what was happening above. The group suddenly held their breath.

Whoosh…

After a while, the werewolf army rushed into the forest, chasing into the depths of the forest. It was only after a good while that several of them slid down from the tree.

“Honey, you used to come up with ideas before, why are you not proposing anything now? All your limelight has been stolen by this freak.” Angel Guardian asked while laughing and playing.

Fruit Knight glanced at him indifferently and said: “If you were slightly more reliable, do you think I would like to suggest ideas? Besides, as you said, we have a freak here, why should I waste my brain cells?”

“I…” Angel Guardian was in tears.

“Buddy, it’s not so easy to be a bedside table nowadays.” Zhao Lei patted his shoulder with a face full of schadenfreude.

“Enough playing, let’s go elsewhere. They will return the same way in a while.”

Li Yao took the lead to leave the forest again, went a distance away, and watched the outpost from a small hill.

“What should we do now?” Zhao Lei said, frustrated, “Just the four of us, how can we fight an army?”

“There is always a way.” Li Yao lifted his head and said.

“No way, you still have a plan?” Angel Guardian looked up and down Li Yao: “If you can handle this outpost, I’ll follow you from now on.”

“You don’t have to follow me, but I’m currently planning to form a small team. I need more hands.” Li Yao said: “We don’t need to always be together, but it will be useful when tackling difficult tasks. A group to explore advanced dungeons.”

“I’ll keep my word. As long as you can handle this outpost, anything goes.”

Encouraged by the fact that fruit knight did not object, Angel Guardian perked up enormously.

“We don’t have an army, so we’ll have to whittle them down. However, we can’t just go in like before, they’ll probably send an army straight away.” Li Yao looked at the outpost: “So the rest of the job needs you to scatter.”

“Scatter?” The other three were confused.

“Yes. You guys help me look for elite level Grugh’s children or other boss-level monsters. I’ll handle the rest.” Li Yao confidently said.

“My God, you won’t be dragging monsters to the outpost, will you?” Zhao Lei exclaimed.

“The core technique of the Hunter is kite pulling powerful insurmountable monsters. I am going to lure powerful monsters to exhaust the number of werewolves in the outpost.” Li Yao thought for a moment and continued: “However, there are thousands of werewolves in a clan, and there are definitely more than two or three leaders. Anyway, just take it one step at a time. First, let’s deplete the regular and elite werewolves.”

“Alright, then we’ll go in four different directions to find Grugh’s children.” Angel Guardian agreed.

“Okay, then let’s part and act. If anyone finds anything, do not engage. Private message me and I will rush over there.” Li Yao chose a direction and walked away….
