Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 567: Why?

"Damn it!"

The three Sky Eagles cursed, but they also began to ascend. Sure enough, the Great Frost was still extremely terrifying at this altitude. Even though the temperature on the ground had already soared to twenty degrees Celsius above zero, the ice was melting, and the earth was turning into a swamp, the sky above sixteen kilometers was still densely packed with icicles.

"Keep going, don't stop! Listen to me, eighteen kilometers. Everyone push yourselves a little harder. At this altitude, I'll try to use my ultimate move and scan with Perception. Because Li Wei might have also raised his altitude, understand? He has the purple-gold Magic Potion on his side, and he definitely has cold-resistance potions too. We must overestimate our enemy."

"Remember, we are in the equivalent of an aerial dogfight right now. Our Perception is our radar; we can't activate it carelessly. Pay attention to silence and stealth, and also mind the performance of the 'fighter jets.' Brothers, hold on. Fuck, it's so damn cold! Make absolutely sure to maintain your condition. Under these circumstances, it's very likely that we'll all only have the chance to shoot one arrow. But our damage is overflowing. If we use our ultimate moves, instantly killing Li Wei will absolutely not be a problem."

Old Cat was in immense pain. The cold did not diminish his headache; instead, it grew increasingly severe.

However, he was still able to endure it, and he guided his teammates with a relaxed tone. This was a reflection of the strength of a top-tier thief.

"Seventeen kilometers now, Old Cat. That's enough. We really can't ascend any higher. Our wings are frozen solid, and we can't fly anymore. This is already our limit, and it's definitely the limit for Li Wei and his hunting pet too. I'm certain of it, Old Cat. If you dare to issue reckless commands again, I'll gouge out your eyes once we get down!"

"Alright, alright, brothers, calm down. Let's stay at this altitude then. Hold on a little longer. Maintain cruising speed at this height, no need to be too fast. And don't worry about Li Wei's ground troops. Unless he's an idiot, it's impossible for him to be flying right above his own ground forces. That would mean he'd also be affected by the Illusion-Piercing Killing Intent."

"Right, let's just do that!"

Old Cat did his best to placate his teammates. He also knew this was incredibly difficult, but it had to be done. Otherwise, if they couldn't seize the upper hand and strike first, people would actually die."Old Cat, latest news. The ground is about to engage the enemy. The Legion Skill of the Blazing Legion led by Li Yue is accumulating power. They've discovered the Neanderthals' Giant Crocodiles. But the time was too short. Even though the accumulated water is two meters deep, the ground hasn't thawed enough to form a swamp, so the terrain factors don't affect them much. It's estimated that those fifty-one Giant Crocodiles will be completely wiped out within thirty seconds. Fuck, as expected of a Golden Side-Quest storyline boss! Too strong."

"Calm down, George. These kinds of boss battles are just like this. Don't rush it. Fighting a boss is like cooking a delicate dish; you have to pay attention to the heat. Bosses can instantly kill people. You need to be patient, little by little, just like coaxing your little lover. Feel its rhythm, perceive its needs, and understand its skill bar. We cannot make a mistake in this step. Trust our boss; he participated in intercepting and killing Duke Brennus nine years ago."

Old Cat relaxed his tone. The more critical the moment, the more stable one's mindset needed to be, even though his headache was getting worse.

In fact, he was rather hoping to keep dragging this out. It didn't matter how many people died, nor did it matter whether Li Wei's ground troops were annihilated or not. This time, his only goal was to kill Li Wei's hunting pet, and it would be best if Li Wei was on it as well. That would mean mission accomplished.

He was a Legendary Ranger, a Golden Thief!

He was incredibly experienced, he had an Artifact Bow in his hands, and he had the confidence to back it up.

"The battle has started. As expected, the firepower of Li Wei's ground troops is extremely fierce. Twelve Legion Skills were unleashed in a single wave... Alright, I guessed wrong. Those fifty Five-Star Giant Crocodiles were finished off in one second, and that Six-Star Giant Crocodile only lasted for three seconds. This isn't right. The damage output of Li Wei's ground troops is too high. These numbers aren't right!"

At this moment, even George was frowning heavily. Even with twelve Legion Skills, the damage couldn't possibly be that high.

"Calm down, George. They have an alchemist; maybe they took a magic potion that increases critical strike chance..." Old Cat didn't finish his sentence because he didn't know exactly what level this alchemist under Li Wei was. No, even if it were a master-level alchemist, they couldn't be this extravagant. The preciousness of many magic potions didn't just lie in their preparation, but in the scarcity of the materials!

"Fuck! Latest news. That Blazing Legion of Li Wei's isn't a tier-four legion; they're a tier-five legion! This is bad!"

"Calm down, George. Don't panic! It's not a big problem. Next, we need to find Li Wei's hunting pet and take them out to secure air superiority. Who cares if it's tier-four or tier-five? Without air supremacy, it's all a dead end!"

Old Cat cursed. What a pig teammate. Why panic at a time like this?

However, truth be told, this Li Wei was indeed a bit excessively strong.

A tier-five legion? What the hell was going on? Could it be that the legion commander, Li Yue, had some important item on her?

An Imperial Centurion Token?

Under the current grand storyline setting, that would indeed provide a massive boost, allowing a tier-four legion to exert the combat power of a tier-five legion.

Hmm—

"Zhao Fei, focus on covering me. I'm going to use my ultimate move to scan the area. It will last for a full five seconds and cover a radius of ten kilometers. If Li Wei is in this area, or even within a radius of at least twenty kilometers, we'll be able to spot him. And you three older brothers, get ready as well. Activate your burst, accelerate. Our battle will very likely end within a few seconds."

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

At this moment, those three Druids also quickly replied. This wasn't like any other time; they had to concentrate all their power and unite as one. If there were difficulties, they had to advance; if there were no difficulties, they had to create difficulties and advance...

Right now, both Zhao Fei and George drew their respective Artifact Bows and nocked a precious Six-Star Origin Anti-Magic Arrow. As long as Old Cat's Perception scanned Li Wei, they could instantly fire as long as he was within ten kilometers. Under the enhancement of the Artifact Bow and the Origin Arrow, a distance of ten kilometers meant destruction upon discovery.

Ignoring distance!

Let alone a Legend, even if an Epic came, they would end up stone dead!

"Open!"

In that instant, Old Cat's ultimate move was activated. His Perception was enhanced across all amplitudes and channels. At this moment, his eyes even began to bleed, but the effect was truly powerful, comparable to a scan with 42 points of Perception!

Anything, anything in the area below this altitude within a ten-kilometer radius was revealed in minute detail.

Huh?

There seemed to be a slight sensation, as if a target suspected to be Li Wei had been discovered. But it was very blurry; the interference caused by the Great Frost at this high altitude was too immense!

Wait, the Great Frost. Fuck!

"He's above us, even higher—"

Before this sentence could be shouted out, and before the message could be sent, Old Cat's body, along with the Druid he was riding, exploded and were killed instantly!

There was no suspense at all.

And almost at the exact same time, Zhao Fei and George also sensed Li Wei's position.

Fuck your mother, you actually went up to an altitude of thirty kilometers. Damn it!

This completely exceeded their shooting range. No, wait, but how did you do that?

Flee quickly!

Just as this thought flashed through their minds, countless Frost Bolts shot out from the thick clouds, instantly killing Zhao Fei, George, and those two Druids high up in the sky.

Even in death, they didn't know why.

Where did the Frost Bolts come from? Aren't you a Ranger?

Moreover, the power of the Great Frost at an altitude of thirty kilometers was almost comparable to its peak state.

Why?

This is so damn unscientific!
