Chapter 1442: Chapter 1442: The Challenge

The audience silently sighed at Starfire’s outstanding talent and courage. In fact, this sort of choice wasn’t unique to Starfire; many teams that entered the second level before her had encountered similar situations.

But the vast majority would not choose to engage in direct combat, since the number of team members was too crucial; even though resurrection was possible, it could only happen once, not repeatedly.

So most teams would take the tough approach, some emerging victorious, while others, facing overwhelmingly powerful opponents, were directly scattered and defeated.

Quite a few teams were unlucky enough to face such fearsome adversaries, leading to their immediate annihilation.

In reality, after each team entered the passage and walked for some time, they could discover forks in the path; there were many choices available to players.

As Starfire accepted the frontal battle, it attracted considerable attention; everyone wanted to see the strength of Starfire’s other players.

After all, the last time Starfire had a collective appearance was at the preparatory competition; so much time had passed since then, and everyone’s levels had improved so much, they were bound to be even more formidable than before.

The opponent’s mount was a rune motorcycle. The so-called rune motorcycle, different from modern ones, has crystal stones as its power source instead of black oil used in modern goblin motorcycles, which could be understood as a combat mount.

As the rune motorcycle’s speed increased, it was enveloped in a dim light, seemingly surpassing the speed of light; the light formed a spinning drill bit, its speed reaching the ultimate limit.

"Little guys on the ground, let me show you my unity of man and vehicle skill," the black goblin Lala yelled.

"Whirlwind Charge!"

"Hmph, do you think you’re the only one with tricks? Let’s see how well you can ram."

As Tongtong spoke, she placed the Earth Elemental Totem on the back of the Cave dweller, which after becoming her mount, Tongtong had also specifically requested a guild Blacksmith make a special Armor for her Cave dweller mount.

Aside from increasing the Cave dweller’s defensive power, several slots were also installed on the Armor, with the sole purpose of facilitating the deployment of various totems that needed to be carried.

For a Totem Sa, especially one who summons Elemental Pets, as long as the totem is not destroyed, the Elemental Pet will not die. Placing a totem in a concealed location on the Cave dweller is indeed quite crafty, something Tongtong had been proud of for a long time.

In this guild competition, with the help of this simple design, she effortlessly, almost effortlessly, became the top-ranking DPS class.

Thwack...

With the totem slotted into the recess behind the Cave dweller’s arm, a high-level boss Earth Element suddenly appeared.

The Earth Element let out a roar, and as it roared, the ground around it began to quake; the terrain constantly changing with the roar.

Initially, the ground in front of the rune motorcycle was flat, but as the Earth Element cast its spell, layers of rock rose, forming consecutive Stone Walls blocking in front of Li Yao.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

The rune motorcycle was like an unstoppable drill bit, furiously spinning; the once sturdy Stone Wall shattered one after another, stone rubble flying like bullets, smashing into the walls on both sides of the passage, the entire corridor roaring with noise.

Rumble...

The rune motorcycle collided with the Earth Element, which immediately showed numerous cracks on its surface; then, like an Artillery Shell, it was blasted backward. If not for the "totem indestructible, element unkillable" rule, the Earth Elemental Totem would have been directly destroyed, but even so, the Earth Element’s health was fast depleting.

The audience gasped in shock; from the rankings, this black goblin wasn’t supposed to be so powerful. Yet, it almost instant-killed a high-level boss Earth Element; the attack was terrifyingly overpowering.

Or perhaps this unity of man and vehicle ability was too godly.

Although immortal, with reduced health, its attributes and power were significantly lessened.

The cyclone drill bit formed by the rune motorcycle only faltered momentarily, then continued charging towards Tongtong.

Li Yao crouched low on the swiftly moving Cave Dwellers, who dodged with an incredible leap, avoiding the Earth Element’s tumbling body and colliding head-on with the rune motorcycle like a drill.

There was no earth-shattering boom, just a sound like glass shattering.

The moment the motorcycle turned into a whirlwind drill and made impact, Li Yao and the Cave Dwellers shattered into pieces, a broken doll-shaped totem dispersing into specks of light.

The Totem Sa’s exclusive elite profession—the Substitute Totem—was notoriously difficult to obtain, and each totem could only be used ten times before it required completing a quest to recharge.

Despite the strict requirements, Totem Sas always coveted this life-saving totem.

As the totemic illusion shattered, Li Yao reappeared behind the diamond, with the Cave Dwellers firmly gripping the back seat of the motorcycle.

Clattering...

The Cave Dwellers pushed against the ground with their legs, a great force carving a deep trench into the rocky surface, slowing down the rune motorcycle.

Snap...

Li Yao released the Earth Bind Totem directly: the speed of the rune motorcycle dropped further, unable to maintain its whirlwind.

Fire Snake Totem!

Li Yao summoned the Fire Snake Totem on the shoulders of the Cave Dwellers, tossing three different Elemental Summons Totems several dozen yards ahead of the motorcycle.

Three elements burst forth, using their bodies to block the Totems that were charging toward the motorcycle and the Black Goblin riding it.

The Black Goblin’s expression changed; on one hand, he maintained the motorcycle’s motion to prevent the Cave Dwellers from getting a chance to attack him, and on the other, he shouldered a rocket launcher.

With the pull of the trigger, three Rocket Bombs were launched in quick succession, exploding in the distance.

Strangely, the explosions from the Rocket Bombs did not erupt outwards but spread sideways like a shock wave.

The three totems were unharmed, but the fragile totems in the distance shattered, and the three elements vanished.

The Fire Snake Totem also spat a series of Magma Fireballs, and the Black Goblin leaned sideways, hanging askew on the motorcycle, continuing to ride.

The motorcycle had even crushed the Earth Bind Totem, its speed surging dramatically.

But at this moment, Li Yao was free; while the Black Goblin dodged the Fire Snake Totem’s fireballs, Li Yao had already begun chanting.

Lava Eruption—a huge Magma Ball was pushed forward by Li Yao, and the Black Goblin’s face twisted in panic.

To deal with Li Yao’s various tactics, he had exerted too much effort, and Li Yao’s timing of attacks was so impeccable that it left him no room to dodge.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t dodge, but he had to make a choice; if he dodged, his motorcycle would be destroyed or fall into Li Yao’s hands.

In an instant, the Black Goblin made his decision, pressing a button on his waist, and a Shield appeared around him.

Boom...

The huge Magma Ball attack was too powerful, and it also had an immense impact. He wasn’t properly seated on the motorcycle but was hanging by a leg, and with the impact from the Magma Ball, he was blasted away.

But the rune motorcycle also propelled itself forward, and at the same time, an electric current was emitted, paralyzing both the Cave Dwellers and Li Yao for a moment...

ps: Today is my birthday, had a drink, feeling a bit muddled.
