MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Luring the Snake out of the Hole
Li Yao came fully prepared. If you want to dive into a common lake or river, you just need to make sure you have a Breathing Potion. But when you want to dive into the sea, you’re faced with immense underwater pressure.

If you run out of the Breathing Potion underwater, you can still hold on for a while, but if the water pressure is high, it may restrict your actions and sensitivity. If you’re in the deepest parts of the sea, you can be crushed by the pressure.

Li Yao hadn’t expected that he would get two Sealing Sea Pearls when he came, so he made sure to pack Breathing Potions and Pressure-Resistant Scrolls.

Pressure-Resistant Scrolls are special scrolls that neutralize the pressure at the bottom of the sea. They are indispensable when diving if you don’t have any special tools.

“Alright, alright, stop messing around. Take these Breathing Potions and Pressure-Resistant Scrolls. Remember to use them when the cooldown is over,” Li Yao handed some over.

“Wow, what a beautiful underwater world! Thank goodness I came.” Tongtong was still somewhat emotional.

“Stop playing around, start dealing damage already! Can’t you see we’re still fighting monsters?” Sister Li said.

Tongtong stuck her tongue out at Li Yao and quickly stopped dwelling on her previous worries. She then began to release Lightning Chain.

Tongtong was very smart. She had only released the Healing Totem. She did not use Flame Totem or Flame Spell.

“Uncle, can I summon my mount to fight with us? The mount you gave me is really strong.” Tongtong asked.

“Sure, just let it drink a bottle of Breathing Potion and attach a Pressure-Resistant Scroll to it, and you’re good to go,” Li Yao said. The mutant cave dweller mount was still of very good use to the players.

If one learned the skills of the Beast Tamer, they could even raise a young one to adulthood and evolve it into a true leader. However, this takes a lot of time, and few people are willing to try it.

Normally, people directly seek out leader-level battle pets or mounts and then raise them to higher qualities. That’s the best way to go.

Of course, that was the situation in the last life. At this stage, only a small number of players can own leader-level summons or pets.

As for those who can make an intermediate-level leader into a pet, there are probably only a few in the entire game who can do so. The ability to have multiple intermediate leaders at once is likely exclusive to Li Yao.

Tongtong is known as Totem Sa, with her totems accounting for nearly half of her battle power.

There are three talent branches for Shamans: melee with claw fist weapons for Enhancement, magic healing for Restoration, and Elemental, which releases various spells.

Detailing these talents, Tongtong belongs to the Elemental branch which can summon three kinds of totems as well as few special totems.

For instance, Elemental Shamans cannot summon a healing totem, especially one that can release Healing Chain. Tongtong is considered half a healer.

In addition to Elemental Totems, she can summon Earth Element and Fire Elemental Totems. Unlike normal summons, these pets are attached to their totems. The totems have only 100 health points, and once they disappear, so does the pet.

However, as long as the totem is placed somewhere safe, the summoned elemental pet is immortal. Both its pros and cons are quite obvious.

Even Fire Elemental Totem was summoned this time. Although it kept producing smoke in the water, the totem was intact and could not be scrapped by the sea.

In coordination with the Wind Totem, which can release Wind Blades, they didn’t even need to use all their energy, but their combat power was still off the charts.

The cave dweller mount, exclusive to goblin, comes with a special seat that secures the rider so they won’t fall off.

Tongtong can output damage comfortably from above, and the cave dweller mount, while not as powerful as their team leader, with the assistance of a Healing Totem, grows stronger as the battle progresses.

“Damn you, land dwellers. We have always kept to ourselves, why are you invading our territory?” A leader dressed in equipment, surrounded by lightning orbs led a group of frogmen and rushed over.

“Look, Tongtong, your kind has come,” Li Yao teased.

“What! I’m not a lazy toad!” Tongtong immediately directed a lightning orb towards Li Yao.

Li Yao dodged with a Shadow Roll. “Big Brother, you’re the one who looks like a toad now,” Tongtong said, laughing.

“Stop messing around and start killing this group; otherwise, it’s going to be a problem once they come over here,” Sister Li said helplessly.

Li Yao nodded, activated Rapid Shooting, and quickly cleared out the frogmen and Poison Arrow Frogs. The three of them swiftly gathered the loot, while Li Yao quickly gathered the toxins from the Poison Arrow Frogs.

The hydra watched with fiery eyes. It knew that Li Yao was preparing for its evolution, and it was ready for it too. Li Yao was aiming to evolve a snake of poison this time around.

“Damn you, you bastards! Why the hell are you invading our territory?” the frogman yelled from a distance, but none of them paid any attention to him, which infuriated him.

He, the Patrol Officer of the noble Tidal Tribe, was actually being ignored by these vulgar and shameless land creatures. This was a great loss of face in front of his underlings.

After Li Yao slowly harvested the last Poison Arrow Frog’s materials, he said, “We are here on Prince’s orders to kill rebels.”

The frogman patrol officer looked surprised and asked, “The Prince? Which prince?”

Li Yao laughed, “Don’t play dumb. You bunch of scumbags sold out your prince for your own benefit. You went as far as hunting and exiling him and even blocked his way home. Tell me, which prince am I talking about?”

“He’s a royalty who never cared about his people’s life and death. He’s brutal and ruthless, full of bloody impulse… How could such a person deserve to be our future king? We just don’t want him to bring disaster on our Tidal Tribe. Don’t be fooled by him.” The frogman patrol officer looked full of righteous indignation.

Tongtong asked doubtfully, “Is the prince really that bad?”

“Naturally, it’s true. My sister was tortured to death by this beast, and I was just one of the victims. Only because we had no other choices did we rise in rebellion and put an end to his tyranny. How about this, lead me to the prince. Our general will definitely be grateful. What can such a rushed guy give you now?”

“Why do I feel like he’s lying?” Tongtong said in a puzzled tone.

“It is all lies.” Li Yao scoffed coldly, “Enough nonsense, I promised to kill all of you traitors. The prince gave me his transformation pearl. Do you guys have that?”

“Dammit, the transformation pearl is a treasure passed down through our Tidal Tribe. That useless waste can’t even utilize half of its power and yet he dares to give it away. It’s preposterous.” The tidal patrol officer pointed at Li Yao, “I don’t want to waste my breath anymore. Lead me to the prince, and you will benefit. Otherwise, you’ll all stay here. No one will escape.”

Li Yao noticed another frogman stealthily running back to the tribe. He pretended not to see it; there was still a fair distance to the tribe from here, so going there and returning would take some time.

“I’m rather interested in killing traitors like you.” Li Yao waved and announced, “Fight starts now. The three of us can get on the announcement board together.” ….
