MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks Chapter 875 - Cactus King

Chapter 875 Cactus King

If there was one thing on Sister Windcloud Nine’s mind, that would be the magic words for Brother Windcloud Nine to regain consciousness.

“I recite the magic words everyday yet he isn’t awake.”

“Then continue to recite. I told you, these magic words won’t work 100 percent, it all depends on your luck.”

“But… But…”

“It’ll work if you’re sincere. Sister Nine, you’re not sincere.”

“I’m sincere, very sincere…”

Li Yi traveled together with Sister Windcloud Nine, without a direction. They blindly selected a direction and just followed the path as they went.

The magic words Li Yi told Sister Windcloud Nine were useless but with the memory he has of the past life, he recalled the incident of Brother Windcloud Nine regaining consciousness well. If it progressed on without any mishaps, Brother Windcloud Nine coming round would just be a matter of time.

Telling Sister Nine about the magic words was providing her sustenance. As for the content of these magic words, well, that was Li Yi playing the fool with her.

“Are there any more magic words? Just tell me already…

“Is there anymore? I really want to learn…”

While on the way, Sister Windcloud Nine kept bugging Li Yi on the new magic words.

The party members were communicating with each other through the channel. The majority of them were separated and only a handful were gathered together.

Jiaojiao, Little Elf from the Magical Realm, and Qian’er were together while Fire Ice and The Cat that Sings were travel buddies. It was basically the same situation with the others, teaming in three or four but unaware of the direction they were going.

Fortunately, Li Yi’s party was so much in the lead that there had not been a second party arriving in this map. They could rest their focus on the monsters in this map instead of finding themselves distracted dealing with other players as well.

There was a huge variety of monsters in the desert, ranging from Level 180 large-sized carnivorous rats, level 190 sand scorpions, to the most dangerous monster — a sand-plodding plant, Cactus King.

Cactus King was a rare monster, making it hard for players to find it as well as avoid it because it range of activities spread throughout the desert map.

It was either by luck or misfortune for Li Yi and Sister Windcloud as they had not been on the road for long when they encountered Cactus King.

Cactus King has a huge build, towering at over thirty meters. Its vivid body was covered with thorns. Its facial features were rather hilarious to look at and its wobbling body when in motion added to the comical effect.

Li Yi retrieved his Orange Quality Bow and told Sister Windcloud Nine, “Be careful, step back.”

“I have Sacred Sword.”

Sister Windcloud Nine may be horrible in gaming controls but she has guts. She was not going to back down on Cactus King.

“Thousand Needle p.r.i.c.ks!”

Szh szh szh szh szh…

Unconcerned what its preys were talking about, Cactus King lowered its head and blasted the needles on its body towards Li Yi and Sister Windcloud Nine.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

Sister Windcloud Nine summoned Tuhr Sacred Sword but before the sword could materialize, her body was completely covered by and buried deep within the needles fired by Cactus King

[-1]

-1 damages kept appearing on Sister Windcloud Nine’s head.

Li Yi was swift to take multiple leaps, dodging cl.u.s.ters and cl.u.s.ters of needles, saving him the fate of becoming a ‘hedgehog’ like Sister Windcloud Nine.

“Ouch, ouch…”

Sister Windcloud Nine collapse on the ground, screaming.

As Li Yi evading the incoming p.r.i.c.ks, he reminded Sister Nine to adjust the pain sensory in the game.

“Oh oh.”

Each needle of Cactus King shaved 1 damage point away but because the number of needles was a great deal, one attack could cost million in damage. However, there was a restriction to Thousand Needle p.r.i.c.ks and that was inability to kill a target. Therefore, regardless the target’s HP, they would still remain alive with 1HP.

Currently, Sister Windcloud Nine was hanging by the thread with 1HP but she was paralyzed on the ground from being p.r.i.c.ked.

Cactus King’s p.r.i.c.k attack lasted over twenty seconds, only stopping when the needles all over its body were gone. It then lifted its head to access the situation.

Soon, the needles on Cactus King began to grow.

Cactus King moved its rather farce steps towards Sister Windcloud Nine who was motionless. Thousand Needle p.r.i.c.ks could not end its target so it has to head up there to finish the job.

‘True Overlord Arrow!”

Li Yi who was long waited aside was not going to let it kill Sister Nine. With True Overlord Arrow locked and loaded, Li Yi fired and repelled Cactus King back by two steps.

Its body was too huge interfered with True Overlord Arrow’s inertia.

“Tch tch tch tch…”

Cactus King let out cries and swung its fist at Li Yi in display of prowess before making its way to Sister Windcloud Nine.

“True Overlord Arrow!”

Li Yi fired another round of True Overlord Arrow, repelling Cactus King by two another steps.

“Tst — Tst —”

Li Yi activated G.o.d Mode to fire dozen of True Overlord Arrows. Although it was not enough to display Cactus King’s HP but it was forced to retreat dozens of steps, saving Sister Windcloud Nine’s life.

Cactus King has high HP and more blood than Golden Eye. Moreover, this thing was sly. Upon discovering that it could not overcome its opponent, it would crawl into the sand to escape. Hence the reason why only a handful of players were able to kill it.

With the needles on Cactus King grown, it bowed its head and aimed at Li Yi to unleash.

“Thousand Needle p.r.i.c.ks!”

Szh szh szh szh…

These raining needles were denser than Li Yi’s Shooting Star Arrow Hail. Li Yi leaped and ran to evade a few times before teleporting to behind it.

Cactus King’s ATK SPD was too quick and if Territory was not release to use Teleport, it was possible he would be p.r.i.c.ked.

It did not matter whether it was one needle or a clump of needles, the end result remained the same — total paralysis. The poison in the body would only vaporize after the poison needle on the body disappeared.

If Li Yi was struck, then TPK was at stake. Sister Windcloud Nine has lost her fighting ability so it was all up to him.

“Dark Wing, keep it up…”

Sister Windcloud Nine groaned on the ground.

While dodging these needles, Li Yi teased her, “I’m sure you’re younger than me? Call me Brother, Brother Yi.”

Sister Windcloud Nine acknowledged and shouted, “Brother Yi, keep it up!”

“Call me Dear Brother Yi.”

“Why?”

“It’ll help your husband recover.”

“Dear… Dear, keep it up,” Sister Windcloud Nine lowered her voice.

Li Yi shuddered and was almost p.r.i.c.ked. He swiftly waved his hand, “Stop stop stop, don’t call me that. It’s too corny. Just switch to what you call me before.”

Cactus King was strong but it was a one-way street in attack, using only two skills. One was Thousand Needle p.r.i.c.ks while the other was Stomp You to Death. Apart from these moves, it has nothing else.

Evading these two moves, defeating Cactus King was just a matter of time.

At the end of Thousand Needle p.r.i.c.ks, Li Yi blasted several True Overlord Arrow, repelling Cactus King back dozens of steps, to distance it away from Sister Windcloud Nine so it has no chance to use its ultimate Stomp You to Death skill.

By the eighth Thousand Needle p.r.i.c.ks it fired, its HP bar was finally in display. 1800 million HP was remaining and it was quite a number.

Li Yi’s double Chrono Stinger Arrow could reduce 600 – 700 million HP but it was still a huge gap from 1800 million. Hence, he did not opt for Chrono Stinger Arrow and continued on his attack with True Overlord Arrow.

“Sha sha sha sha sha…”

Cactus King’s body submerged and quickly disappeared within the sand pile.

It escaped.

“I still can”t move, I can’t move.”

Sister Windcloud Nine was still looking like a hedgehog covered in needles.

Li Yi walked up and summoned Dolly. Together, they plucked the needles off Sister Windcloud Nine.

Soon, the needles were pulled off Sister Windcloud Nine but her skin was covered in sufferable red dots.

The paralysis poison within her has yet to clear so she was still impeded of movements.

“What am I going to do? We can’t summon mounts in the tower, right?” Sister Windcloud Nine panicked. After a while, she added, “Why don’t you go first, I’ll be here admiring the scenery.”

“Alright.”

Taking up the offer, Li Yi turned to leave.

“Hey hey…, are… are you really going?”

“Why not?”

An image emerged in Sister Windcloud Nine’s mind.

She, lying alone on the sand, motionless with the afterglow of sunset resting on her face. Ah, a beautiful scene.

However, it was then, a half naked man of the Giant race came running from afar and pounced onto her, ripping her clothes apart with a ferocious look…

Sister Windcloud Nine shuddered at the thought, “No no… No, no… Don’t you… Wait wait wait until I regain movement.”

Li Yi was stunned, “Huh?”

“Just wait wait for me… Thank you…”

Sitting and waiting beside, Li Yi checked the party’s chat records. The others were in the situation as he was. Up to now, no one has succeeded in walking out of the desert.

The current death toll was nine and among them were The Cat that Sings and Fire Ice.

Without coordinates and a sense of direction, this has presented the largest obstacle for the party to clear the stage.

Sister Windcloud Nine’s body was p.r.i.c.ked by several million needles so it would take at least three hours to clear the poison in her body.

As Li Yi was bored, he browsed the official forums and came across a rather peculiar affair.

“Feast your eyes and prepare to gag! Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut kills Big Boy in one strike. Attached is the video, please watch!”

Li Yi turned on the video and saw Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut surrounded by a powerful drive, standing in a nation under the control of Big Boy, destroying its buildings. It was not long before the grinning Big Boy appeared but Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut wasted no breath and pounded her fist at him to finish him.

The video was short and clear. Big Boy did not stand a chance against Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.

In the eyes of others, this was just a PK video between the game experts but in Li Yi’s eyes, it was a different thing.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut almost never destroyed any city in the past life yet in present life, she took initiative to destroy Big Boy’s city?

As far as Li Yi could remember, there was no vendetta between Big Boy and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut so her action was out of the ordinary.

At the end of the video, Big Boy dropped a scroll which was quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed by Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. The video showed until there before it ended.

It was Divine Tome!

It struck a nerve in Li Yi.

Sister Windcloud Nine suddenly cried out, “… No, don’t come over!”

Danger!

Li Yi abruptly stood up.
