“They’re here!”

Clutch King shouted as he gripped the dagger in his hand.

The Pythons in front of him suddenly picked up their pace, and the dust on the ground was thrown into the air by their swaying bodies.

Seeing this, Li Yi replied indifferently, “Snow Chaser, prepare your Healing Spell. Clutch King, pay attention to your footwork. While distracting the monsters, you must attack at the same time. If I remember correctly, the weapon I gave you has a high toxicity effect. When combined with your Fast-attack Warrior’s highly toxic and bleeding skills, it can deal a very considerable amount of damage over time.”

“Roger that!”

Clutch King said with a smile, his tone incomparably excited. Then, two daggers appeared in his hands, with that, a dark green liquid that gave off an obviously dangerous aura covered it.

Clutch King’s eyes lit up as he watched the Pythons gradually approach him. 

His fighting spirit exploded, and he sprang into action!

He jumped in front of the three monsters and nimbly coiled around them.

Flustered and exasperated, the three giant Pythons continuously chased after Clutch King, each one trying to bite and kill him.

However, every time they were about to attack Clutch King, he would easily dodge them.

Furthermore, as he dodged them, he also made a few scarring cuts on their bodies.

“-323!”

“-674! Vital Attack!”

“-333!”

“-461!”

“-63! Poison Damage!”

“-66! Bleeding Damage!”

“…”

The three Pythons roared, and their venomous eyes turned scarlet red. This filled the air with a savage and violent aura.

The Pythons looked as if they had gone mad, they continuously charged at Clutch King, wanting to kill him even if they were covered in wounds!

Snow Chaser gripped her staff tightly in her hand, and her incomparably beautiful face was filled with nervousness.

Her stunning eyes stared unwaveringly at the battlefield, and white light swirled around her magic staff.

Li Yi could not help but smile.

He could tell that Snow Chaser was nervous, but being brave.

Although Snow Chaser had gone with other teams to level up before, she had only seen low leveled skill plays at most. It was likely that there were other Healing Mages there as well, and everyone needed to be 100% focused on the battle.

Moreover, if Clutch King’s armor and HP could not handle any more of the monster attacks, and if he was not careful, he would be hit. If Snow Chaser was not careful, Clutch King could directly report to the Resurrection Point.

…

“864! Critical Hit!”

The daggers light flashed and drew a half arc. Blood splattered everywhere as Clutch King beheaded a giant Python. Its health bar was instantly emptied as it lay dead on the ground.

After one out of the three Pythons died, Clutch King breathed a huge sigh of relief.

It was a little difficult for him to deal with three monsters in one go. If it had not been for his high agility and the flawless equipment Li Yi had given him, he would have died under the siege of three monsters by now.

“Well… not bad.”

Li Yi smiled and nodded. Clutch King’s performance was very outstanding; he could take on three giant Pythons by himself and still kill one of them without taking any damage.

This battle technique was enough to rank him at the top of the Fast-attack Warriors at this stage.

However, at that moment, a giant Python took advantage of Clutch King’s lowered defense. The monster took this chance to pounce on him and bite down hard on his arm!

“-901!”

“-13! Poison Damage!”

[System Notification: You have been hit by a poisonous attack from the Green-eyed Python. 1% of your health will continue to decrease for 10 seconds!]

“What the f*ck!”

When Clutch King heard the system’s voice, he was stupefied. Not only has he reached critical health, but he had also been hit with a poison attack. What the h*ll!

Clutch King gritted his teeth and retreated quickly. If he was hit one more time, he would be finished.

Technically, he would be meeting death soon anyways as he still had the poison attack effect on him as well.

He figured out that his poison dagger’s poison was not very effective against these monsters, because they were poison monsters and had a certain degree of resistance to poison.

At this moment, Snow Chaser waved her magic staff behind, and two rays of white light shot out and landed on Clutch King’s body.

“+322!”

“+366!”

Clutch King’s health bar immediately shot up, and the amount of health he had lost earlier was now almost full.

“Snow Chaser, you’re awesome!”

Clutch King was quick to praise her. After recovering his health, he once again rushed up and used his agile movement technique to fight with the remaining two Pythons.

Behind him, Snow Chaser squeezed out a smile albeit the nervousness showing.

Seeing this, Li Yi smiled and shook his head, then walked over to her side and gently patted her on the shoulder.

This action gave Snow Chaser, who was fully focused, a fright.

“Snow Chaser, there’s no need to be so nervous. You can still use your skills to observe the situation and work on timing.”

Li Yi gave an encouraging smile.

“However, the timing of your two skills just now was a little too late. You were too nervous and lost your judgment. You need to relax.

“Clutch King won’t die too easily. You won’t have to worry about his sudden death if you don’t immediately heal him.”

Snow Chaser was stunned when she heard this and then nodded slightly.

She knew that Li Yi was right; she knew that she was being too nervous.

Snow Chaser took a deep breath, and Li Yi could not help but take another glance at her towering peaks.

After she calmed down, a gentle and quiet smile hung on her beautiful face once again.

“Thank you for reminding me about what I can do. I’ve obviously gone out to level up with other teams many times, yet I can’t believe I’m still this nervous.”

Li Yi waved his hand and said calmly,

“It’s nothing. You just don’t have the experience to focus on healing your teammates as you do now. Other teams usually aren’t this small.

“We just need to learn how to work together. Those teams could be like us, directly challenging high-level monsters and it’ll force them to work together. If we’re not careful, we’ll die.

“This risk is much too high for them to try it out, so they train their skill. They’re here to level up, not to fight monsters and train. If they die, they’ll just lose a level. The loss outweighs the gain.”

Snow Chaser nodded and stared at the battle situation, then replied, “You’re right. I’ll improve my focus and strength as soon as possible.”

When she said this, a resolute expression appeared on Snow Chaser’s beautiful face.

“I definitely won’t become a burden to you.”

“Good luck with that.”

Li Yi smiled and silently retreated behind them.

Not only would Snow Chaser not become a burden, but he also knew that this young girl in front of him would one day become one of the top Healing Mages in Divine Revelation!

During the battle, Clutch King’s movements were nimble and strange. He constantly dived around under the attacks of the two Pythons as he brandished the daggers in his hands yet again.

The two Pythons roared furiously and opened their bloody mouths wide.

In the face of these crazy Pythons, Clutch King was incomparably calm. A moment later, the two monsters died in his hands one after another.

“They’re finally dead. I’ve been fighting them for half a day.”

Clutch King shook off the blood on his daggers and smiled wryly in resignation.

This monster was almost ten levels higher than him, and it was really hard to fight them.

“Clutch King you did well. You killed all three monsters, which is impressive. With your current technical strength, you can probably beat most of the top ten players on the level rankings. Of course, this is under the condition that there’s not much difference between your level and your equipment.”

Li Yi smiled as he walked up to praise him.

Clutch King’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said hurriedly, “How can I be as good as you when we’re on the same level?!”

“Hah!” Li Yi rolled his eyes at him and replied snappily, “Are you trying to compete with me? Have you forgotten who destroyed you in PvP? It’s not that I’m bragging, but it was really easy to destroy you.”

“Hey!”

Clutch King curled his lips a little unwillingly, but he could not refute Li Yi.

He had seen Li Yi’s skills before, and it was true that he would immediately lose.

“One day, I’ll surpass you!”

Clutch King said gloomily. Although he knew it was impossible, one had to have a goal to work towards to, right?

“I’m sure you can do it.”

Li Yi shrugged.

Snow Chaser could not help but cover her mouth and chuckled as she watched the two of them communicate.

At that moment, the sound of rustling could be heard.

Li Yi’s expression changed slightly when he heard the sound. As an experienced man, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

He gave Clutch King and Snow Chaser a signal to stay on their toes.

Out of habit, he removed Deaths Descent from behind him and stood in front of the two of them.

Li Yi’s gaze was sharp as he paid attention to the movement of the wind and grass around him.

Snow Chaser hid behind Li Yi, clutching her magic staff tightly. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the map that had shrunk and hung in the upper right corner of her field of vision.

She was stunned. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

“Carefree Dream! There are so many red dots on the map!”

Snow Chaser reminded Li Yi urgently.

Hearing that, Li Yi checked the system map and was slightly stunned.

“That’s more than sixty of them…”

Li Yi roughly counted the number of red dots and frowned. Each red dot represented an enemy. If an enemy appears on the map, there would be a red dot notification.

Unless the monster hid like the Python they had killed before, the red dot on the map would not disappear.

“Holy cr*p, that’s a lot. We’re going to die! We’re all going to die here!”

Clutch King’s face was deathly pale, and his body was drenched in cold beads of sweat.

The sound of hisses could be heard in all directions, and many giant Pythons emerged from the trees and bushes one after another!

In a blink of an eye, they were surrounded like a fortress!

Many pairs of snake eyes menacingly locked onto the three of them…

Suddenly, all three of them felt a shiver up their spines!
