Chapter 618

A brilliance that only professionals could see spread out.

An Epic-grade leather armor.

He didn't know if it was because of the Abyss monster,

but the attributes were quite a bit better than average Epic gear.

Li Yao turned back to look at everyone.

It seemed no one was suitable, so he threw it into his storage ring.

Soon,

Tristana walked to Li Yao’s side carrying a huge black ball and spread out her right hand.

"This is the snake gallbladder, and these are two teeth."

"The snake gallbladder can be sold for a lot of money; you guys take the teeth first."

Poppy touched her chin, puzzled:

"Two teeth, two Mur-seeking wolf chieftains; it seems the map wasn't wrong."

"When the Mushroom Guild explorers came to open up the land, they shouldn't have encountered the Mordo Great Snake."

"Dangerous species generally don't move their positions at will."

"Why would it suddenly appear here?"

After packing up the spoils,

the group rushed to the locations of the other two chieftains.

Li Yao could slay a super dangerous species,

and even the two white silkworms knew the strength of this human.

They were no longer silent, emitting faint 'chirping' sounds.

After walking for about ten minutes,

Tristana suddenly shuddered.

"It must be the Forbidden Zone! The curse the Forbidden Zone cast on us!"

Poppy looked helpless. "That’s just a rumor; how could a curse like that be real?"

"Then how do you explain such bad luck!"

"First we encountered so many Mur-seeking wolves! Then we encountered an extremely rare super dangerous species!"

"It must be a curse!"

Speaking without intention, listening without intention.

The curse of the Forbidden Zone

was easily linked to the restrictions set by the Over-City people.

Curses were very mysterious.

What if it were a skill label?

That slight tremor earlier

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

It was just that those Mur-seeking wolves were unlucky and were discovered by the Mordo Great Snake first.

Thinking of this, Li Yao felt strange again.

The Forbidden Zone was the entrance to the surface.

To prevent Under-City people from accidentally entering the surface,

the Over-City people set up some powerful monsters in the so-called 'Forbidden Zone'; this was understandable.

But why set a 'curse' to make powerful monsters hunt down Under-City people who accidentally entered the Forbidden Zone?

Li Yao was very sure

that if he weren't here,

even if Tristana and Poppy could survive the siege of the Forbidden Zone’s Mur-seeking wolves, they would definitely have died at the hands of the giant snake!

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

Tristana suddenly said; she remembered Li Yao’s two battles, both of which involved letting monsters attack.

"Something like a Beast Tamer."

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

Her height was less than half a meter; even riding on a white silkworm, she wasn't as tall as Li Yao.

"Gnar’s Rage Formation?" Li Yao flipped through a few pages, his eyes becoming increasingly heavy.

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

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

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

"Is it not classified?" Li Yao was worried that Tristana would be punished for taking out a formation used by the military.

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

While on the road, Li Yao seriously flipped through this book.

It taught in great detail,

requiring at least ten soldiers to initially activate it—

that is, ten chess pieces.

As long as you follow the steps, it’s easy to learn; with more practice, you can apply it to actual combat once proficient.

He was still one chess piece short.

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

Activating the chessboard domain during team battles should play a good role.

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

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

let alone a strong person like Li Yao.

In less than ten minutes, Li Yao had finished flipping through the whole book.

A system prompt sounded in his mind:

[Professional learned skill: Gnar’s Rage Formation LV1]

[Gnar’s Rage Formation (SS-grade passive): After ten or more summoned units enter combat state simultaneously, all summoned units gain two types of rage amplification until the end of the battle; four-dimensional attributes increase by 5%; damage amplification increases by 5%; all summoned units simultaneously consume 30% mana to emit Gnar’s Rage Strike; cooldown 12 hours.]

Li Yao’s eyes were full of shock.

Although the numerical value of this skill’s amplification was not much, it was effective for all chess pieces; added together, it was a considerable number.

The key was

that it finally came with a skill similar to an ultimate move.

There was no detailed coefficient,

but the Rage Strike that required sacrificing 30% of all chess pieces’ mana—

without needing to think, the power must be beyond imagination!

"Tristana, give this back to you; 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." Tristana put the book back into her backpack; for a strong person like Li Yao, having a slightly better memory was normal.

At this time,

they arrived at the other Mur-seeking wolf chieftain’s stronghold.

This time there was no dangerous species, so Li Yao did not make a move.

Tristana and Poppy, just like last time,

approached the labyrinth room entrance cautiously and then suddenly erupted.

The battle broke out instantly.

The group also walked into the room.
