MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 431: Chapter 431 Valley
“General, it’s bad. The patrol officer has been killed, and now they are running away.” A scout shouted aloud.

The Frogman General said coldly, “Chase them.”

“They’re too fast, we might not be able to catch them, they’ll soon shake us off.” The scout continued.

“Then take my sea beast, track their scent, and keep up with them.” The Frogman General was not flustered and said, “Since we can’t capture them now, let’s wait for a bit. With my sea beast, they can’t flee far. Let’s use them to lead us to the prince and trap them all at once.”

“The General is wise.” The Frogman underlings immediately began to flatter.

“Save your words, bring that stupid patrol officer to me, let the sea beast smell him.” The General finished and turned to look in the direction that Li Yao and his team were escaping.

Li Yao and Mistress Li were both carrying Dondondon on their shoulders, swimming rapidly toward the shore.

Soon, Dondondon, who was watching behind, said, “We’ve lost sight of them, and when we left just now, it didn’t look like they were following us. Could they be wary of us?”

Mistress Li also looked at Li Yao with doubt, and Li Yao thought for a bit and said, “Impossible, now that the army has been brought out, how could they easily give up? You guys relax, there are many ways for them to track us in the water, catching up to us isn’t difficult.”

Mistress Li nodded and said, “You’re right, the most effective way for that General to complete his mission is to kill the prince. Although defense is a good option too, it could also lead to unforeseen mistakes and the variables are rather many if too much time elapses. He must be worried about the prince gathering strength and returning to the Tide tribe from elsewhere. Although this may make the prince lose face, the one who frames the prince is unlikely to fare better, I don’t believe a man who can be the Frogman King does not have any tricks up his sleeve.”

“Exactly, let’s get to our positions first, they could attack at any moment.”

The three agreeing unanimously, they left without looking back.

The trio did not return to the original beach, but arrived at a complex, narrow canyon.

Although ten thousand years had passed, people could still clearly judge that this canyon had once been a whole, not separated by the impact of seawater.

Ten thousand years ago, to defeat a leader of the Demon Legion, the evil Titan, the ancient elves had to detonate the Eternal Well, and the leader was defeated.

But the whole world almost collapsed as a result, and the continent was shattered.

In many places, you could still see traces of the fractures from that time, like this winding canyon.

Due to the gentle water surface, the middle position of the canyon remained narrow, with high mountain cliffs on both sides. Climbing was almost impossible.

In the middle of the canyon, you could see a huge cave and a platform on the cliff, which might have been the nest of some powerful birds in the past, but now there was no threat, the cave was empty, and obviously, no birds had come back for a long time.

But because it still carried the scent of the birds, no other creatures dared to settle here.

At this moment, Frog Prince was pulling hard on a rope to pull Dondondon up to the cave, about fifty to sixty yards from the place where they slept, while Li Yao and Mistress Li were also climbing up along the rope.

If it wasn’t for Li Yao’s Angel’s Wing, it would have been wildly difficult to climb up to this cave.

“Ribbit, how is it, where are they? Why haven’t I seen them? Has the plan failed?” Frog Prince became anxious when the three arrived. He couldn’t help but worry, he hadn’t expected success at first, but after hearing Li Yao’s plan, he thought it could work, and it reignited his hope of retaking the tribe.

In the beginning, there was no hope, but now that there was hope, he naturally started to fret.

“You’re a harbinger of bad luck; can’t you say something nice for once?” Li Yao grumbled. If the plan were to fail, they’d need a lot more effort to accomplish their objective, and they’ve procrastinated for half a day already. Finding another location would not be suitable as well.

“So this is Frog Prince, he’s so ugly. Aren’t the princes in fairy tales all handsome?” Dumbfounded Dondondon circled the Frog Prince with her hands behind her back and spoke her mind.

“How good can you expect an actual frog to look? Can you quiet down for a bit?” Mistress Li sighed with her hand on her forehead, exasperated with this child.

The Frog Prince instantly grew irritated and said, “You land-dwelling folks with no taste, I’m still considered the most handsome man in the Tide tribe, countless girls dream of marrying me. And remember your manners, I’m not a frog, I’m a frogman, a noble frogman, do you understand?”

“Even if you’re noble, you’re still a frog.” Dondondon muttered quietly after distancing herself from the enraged prince.

“Alright, quit squabbling, I estimate those pursuing you are nearly here. You should think of how to provoke them into attacking us. If they don’t attack, it’s going to be troublesome for us,” Li Yao said.

“Don’t worry, I know my friend too well, if he can finish me off today, there’s absolutely no way he’ll wait until tomorrow, and regarding the lives of the tribesmen and his subordinates, he never cared.” The Frog Prince confidently said.

Dumbfounded Dondondon suddenly said, “What if they think they can siege us here, they won’t attack, but surround us instead?”

The Prince said, “Impossible, this is Murloc territory, they wouldn’t dare to stay for long. And as long as this one shows his wings, they’ll certainly launch an attack. Just watch me, I may not be good at attacking, but when it comes to support and illusions, no one can beat me!”

Li Yao nodded, he vaguely knew that the royal family had passed down a very special treasure generation after generation, good at transformation and illusions. Some say it was even a Divine Artifact.

But no one had truly witnessed it, so it had become a mystery.

“Alright, I’m going to set up the traps now.” Li Yao jumped down, spread his wings, and flew quickly, constantly throwing out Fog Scrolls towards the area below.

“Big brother, what’s he throwing for?” Dondondon asked.

Mistress Li said, “He’s probably trying to disrupt their vision.”

“There really are many good things on land. With this, my illusions can work harmoniously .” Frog Prince’s eyes lit up, “In the future, we can cooperate and exchange goods including such scrolls, right?”

Mistress Li was stunned; she didn’t know where the Fog Scroll came from, but she was sure that Li Yao had a way to get it. Seeing the Frog Prince interested in it, she said, “To be honest, at this stage, only our leader can get this kind of scroll, I am not too clear about it, but it should depend on your tribe’s sincerity.”

“You help me to reclaim my tribe, this is a huge favor, I don’t like empty talks, all I can say is, let’s see how it goes.” The Frog Prince said sincerely.

Mistress Li nodded, indeed this prince was honest, otherwise he wouldn’t have been tricked to such an extent.

With Li Yao’s return, the group heard the sound of the horn, the Frogman Army was here…
