Chapter 1494

After tidying up the loot,

the group rushed toward the locations of the other two leaders.

Li Yao could slay a Super Dangerous Species;

even the two white silkworms knew of this human's power,

and no longer moved silently, emitting faint 'chirping' sounds.

After walking for about ten minutes,

Tana suddenly shuddered.

"It must be the forbidden zone! The curse the forbidden zone cast on us!"

Poppy looked helpless. "That's just a rumor. Curses and things like that don't seem real at all, do they?"

"Then how do you explain our luck being so bad!"

"First we met so many Moor-Seeking Wolves! Then we met an extremely rare Super Dangerous Species!"

"It must be a curse!"

Spoken without intention, heard without meaning.

The curse of the forbidden zone

could easily be linked to the restrictions set by the Upper City people.

Curses were very mysterious things.

What if it was a skill marker?

That slight tremor from before

was likely not the sound of the labyrinth changing, but the sound made by the Mordo Giant Snake.

It was just that those Moor-Seeking Wolves were unlucky and were discovered by the Mordo Giant Snake first.

Thinking of this, Li Yao felt a bit strange.

The forbidden zone was the entrance to the surface.

It was understandable that the Upper City people would set up some powerful monsters at the so-called 'forbidden zone' to prevent Lower City people from accidentally entering the surface.

But why set a 'curse' to have powerful monsters hunt down Lower City people who accidentally entered the forbidden zone?

Li Yao was very certain

that if he weren't here,

even if Tana and Poppy could survive the encirclement of the forbidden zone's Moor-Seeking Wolves, they would definitely have died at the hands of the giant snake!

"By the way, Li Yao, you're a Beast Tamer, right?"

Tana suddenly spoke up; she remembered Li Yao's two battles, both of which involved letting monsters attack.

"Beast Tamer is about right."

"Then take this, see if it's useful." Tana raised her arm and handed a yellowed book to Li Yao.

She was less than half a meter tall, and even riding the white silkworm, she wasn't as tall as Li Yao.

"Gnar's Rage Battle Formation?" Li Yao flipped through a few pages casually, his eyes becoming increasingly grave.

This was a battle formation that arranged energy through positioning to amplify overall combat power.

Tristana explained: "This is a battle formation we use in Bandle City when we start a war."

"Every soldier in Bandle City has a copy. Some Beast Tamers apply this battle formation to their pets. If Li Yao has enough pets, it should be able to enhance some combat power."

"Isn't this classified?" Li Yao worried that Tana would be punished for taking out a battle formation used by the military.

"Everyone has a copy, so how can it be classified?" Tristana blinked her eyes.

While on the road, Li Yao seriously read through the book.

It was taught in great detail,

requiring at least ten soldiers to initially activate it,

which meant ten chess pieces.

As long as one followed the steps, it was easy to learn; with more practice, one could apply it to actual combat once proficient.

He was still one chess piece short of his current count.

If he counted the void creatures, it would be completely enough.

Activating the chessboard domain during chess piece team battles should be able to play a good role.

"Many thanks!" Li Yao thanked her and then immersed himself in the battle formation.

A professional's mental power far exceeded that of ordinary people,

let alone an expert like Li Yao.

In less than ten minutes, Li Yao had finished reading the entire book.

The system prompt sounded in his mind.

【Professional learned skill: Gnar's Rage Battle Formation LV1】

【Gnar's Rage Battle Formation (SS-tier passive): After ten or more summoned units enter combat status simultaneously, all summoned units gain two types of rage buffs until the end of combat; four-dimensional attributes increase by 5%; damage increase by 5%; all summoned units simultaneously consume 30% mana to launch Gnar's Rage Strike; cooldown 12 hours】

Li Yao's eyes were full of shock.

Although the numerical value of this skill's buff wasn't much, it would take effect on all chess pieces, which added up to a quite considerable number.

The key was

that it came with a skill similar to an ultimate move at the end.

There was no detailed coefficient,

but a Rage Strike that required sacrificing 30% of all chess pieces' mana—

no need to think, the power must be beyond imagination!

"Tana, take this back; I'm very satisfied with this skill!" Li Yao smiled and returned the book to Tristana.

"Li Yao has already learned it?"

Li Yao smiled. "No, just memorized it."

This was a cheat exclusive to professionals.

"I see." Tana put the book back into her backpack; for an expert like Li Yao, it was normal for his memory to be a little better.

Just then,

the stronghold of the other Moor-Seeking Wolf leader was reached.

This time there were no dangerous species, so Li Yao didn't make a move.

Tana and Poppy were the same as last time,

approaching the entrance of the labyrinth room cautiously, then suddenly erupting.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

The group also walked into the room.

Several people also walked into the room.
