Chapter 528: The 10th Piece

The shark monster was easily disposed of by Li Yi. Following that, Mermaid Princess vanished underwater in her third attempt to locate treasure. However, compared to her first attempt, her later two tries had evidently performed worse.

In her third Treasure Hunt attempt, Mermaid Princess had returned with only a single Gold Coin.

‘This is remarkably bad…’

Li Yi went to the Sea God’s Palace for a stroll. He snuck into Sea God’s Palace, found Fernando the Siren, and initiated the Naga Camp quest. With that, the Nagas would no longer consider him as a foe.

As for the Frogmen Tribe located within Flaming Dragon Lair, Li Yi visited them nearly every day. Despite that, the rate of the Frog Queen’s Affinity growth was gradually diminishing. However, in order to attain Overlord Arrow, he was forced to endure the grind.

Obtaining an Ultimate Skill was the dream of every class. However, in this game, one needed not just skill, but also luck in order to obtain it.

The frogmen’s daily quests had been completed, and now that Li Yi had gotten his hands on the Reusable Teleportation Stone, it made his life much simpler. He gripped the stone and appeared within the North Pole Continent.

He was back at the nameless snow peak, and the snow eagle’s nest was right beside him.

However, the nest was still empty. It had yet to respawn.

Li Yi shook his head irritatedly. He took out Onyxia’s Dragon Summon Emblem and called her out.

There were two reasons for his arrival at the North Pole Continent. First off, he wanted to locate Emperor Lan. Secondly, he needed to collect Grade 10 frost materials for the Hunter Goddess to synthesize the Inextinguishable Tinder.

After riding Onyxia for some time, he noticed that there were a bunch of snow apes below him. One of them towered over the rest, and it only took a single glance to realize that it was the leader of the monsters.

Following Li Yi’s orders, Onyxia sucked in a deep, deep breath…

A blazing flame that concealed the skies came raining down. Damage counters continuously appeared above the heads of dozens of apes, and each tick of damage was over ten thousand.

[−10231]

[−12311]

[−10221]

The snow apes wailed in agony. They threw snowballs as a counterattack, and the damage the snowballs inflicted was not low by any means. Each snowball that hit Onyxia had dealt over ten thousand damage. However, since Onyxia’s HP pool was a sturdy 100 million, that meager damage was basically insignificant.

Li Yi alternated between Powered-up Arrow and Elimination Arrow to attack. With Onyxia’s massive body as his shield, he went through the battle unscathed.

The group of Level 100 snow apes were quickly and tragically disposed of. Onyxia’s HP had been reduced by 30%, which was a hefty toll to pay.

Li Yi dropped down to collect the materials, and in total, he had collected 20 or so of the Grade 10 material, Snow Ape’s Claw, and some miscellaneous items.

“Goddess, I’ve acquired new materials.”

Li Yi lowered his Orange Quality Bow, summoned the Hunter Goddess, and handed over all the Snow Ape’s Claws to her.

The Orange Quality Bow was connected to another dimension, the one that the Hunter Goddess resided in. Thus, as long as he had the Hunter Goddess’ approval, that dimension could serve as an inventory as well. However, since the space within it was quite cramped, it was not very practical.

Li Yi roamed about the North Pole Continent for a whole day and collected plenty of Grade 10 materials. Despite that, there was still no trace of Emperor Lan to be found.

In the evening, just as Li Yi was about to log out, his mailbox rang. It was from Chen Yang. He had sent an item to him.

‘What’s Fatty planning to do?’

That was what Li Yi thought, until he summoned his robot to open the mail, only to be shocked by Fatty’s gift.

[The Tenth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment]

It was a Sacramental Stone Fragment! Li Yi never could have imagined Fatty finding such a precious item.

Li Yi sent a mail to Fatty, inquiring, “Where did you get your hands on this?”

“Hehe, pretty amazing, eh? I found this in the Western Continent when I was digging for treasure. Yeah, from the treasure maps you gave me earlier.” Chen Yang was extremely pleased. The fatty had always lived under Li Yi’s protection, and he had long sought to repay his debt. Thus, the moment he discovered the fragment, he made sure to immediately deliver it to Li Yi.

The item was extremely precious, Li Yi knew this. From the datamined results of Pantheon’s official page, the Sacramental Stone Fragments’ worth were appraised at 10 stars, which was the highest possible value.

[The Tenth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: Additional 5% Crit Rate. Chance of dropping items on death decreased by 50%. This item does not need to be equipped, and its effects would activate the moment it Is placed into the inventory. (When used with the second piece, item drop rate on death will be reduced to zero, and no items, nor equipment would be dropped.)]

“Thank god I have Ice Queen. This summon beast is god damn broken. With a single skill, everyone around me is immediately frozen, allowing me to dig the treasures at my own pace while they’re still thawing out, haha…”

“My man! Keep on digging!”

“Definitely!”

Li Yi liked to solo bosses, and Fatty liked to dig for treasure. Thus, the Natural Summoner class was extremely appropriate for him. The class had Invincible skills, its pets could prevent others from disturbing them, and when used together, his safety was much better guaranteed compared to other classes.

Out of the 10 Sacramental Stone Fragments, Li Yi already had three of them on hand, which was the first one, the second one, and the tenth one. From now on, he no longer lost experience on death and had a hundred percent guarantee that no items would be lost on death. His level of overpowered-ness was self-explanatory.

Li Yi logged out with a heart filled with joy.

That night, just as the clock struck midnight, Li Yi walked out of the house and dash straight into Jiaojiao’s chambers.

“I’ll leave the door open for you tonight.”

Li Yi remembered those words clearly.

He tugged and pulled the door with all his strength and came to a tragic conclusion. The door was locked…

The next day, Li Yi continued his search for Emperor Lan and Grade 10 materials the moment he logged in.

The North Pole Continent was just too enormous. In order to cover the entire map, one would need to fly non-stop for seven days and seven nights, and that was considering players traveled on a high-speed mount like Onyxia. If it were a normal mount, it was possible that one might take over a month to complete the journey.

There were no clues as to where Emperor Lan had gone to. Asking the friendly North Continent NPCs produced no clues as well. Thankfully for him, Onyxia was extremely useful. She cooperated with Li Yi and made collecting the Grade 10 materials a cinch.

It was now noon. The skies were filled with snow fractals. Li Yi was riding atop of Onyxia and was flying slowly at a low altitude, in search of his target.

He was in the heart of the North Pole Continent, which was also the coldest region. The monsters below were extremely powerful, and their levels ranged from Level 100 to Level 200, a major difference in strength. Were he to encounter any insanely powerful ‘landmines’ 1 , and enraged them, the ensuing results would be terrrible.

Dozens of Superior Ice Spirits were wandering below. These high-level elementals ranged around Level 150s, and each of them was an elite. Each one’s strength was leaps and bounds greater than Level 100 purple-named bosses.

These Superior Ice Spirits were not to be trifled with, or, the consequences would be deadly. This was a hard-taught lesson that Li Yi gleaned from his past life.

Onyxia slowed down her flight, and after safely making it past the Superior Ice Spirits’ region, she landed in an open plain.

The plain was home to many carrot-looking ‘snowmen’ monsters. They were relatively weak, and they dropped the Grade 10 material, Ice Crystal Snowflower.

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!

Li Yi shot three arrows in succession, and a ‘snowman’ crumpled onto the ground.

“How brave of you, mortal. You dare to trespass into icemen territory! Prepare to face the wrath of the Ice Spirits!”

Just as Li Yi was crouching down to pick up the materials, a howl of anger sounded from afar. The snow drifting down from the skies were instantly frozen and rained down like daggers.

‘Sh*t! I’ve angered one of the spirits!’

Sensing a bad omen, Li Yi turned tail and ran…
