Chapter 1236: Chapter 1236: The Hunter Chapter 1236: Chapter 1236: The Hunter Li Yao, though standing at a vantage point, was in full view of many of the alien warriors within the area, just as the spectators saw him.
At this moment, Li Yao seemed to completely merge with Prairie Fire from the game, as if he truly belonged to the magical world of hunters.
“Damn Earthlings, foolish and arrogant.” That was the thought of the alien warriors who saw Li Yao, and they quickly made their way towards him at the first opportunity.
They seemed to have an unspoken agreement: whenever there was an Earthling competitor, and they spotted one, they would temporarily cease fighting and prioritize eliminating the Earthling.
Li Yao's eyes were now covered in blue light; he withdrew his gaze from staring into the starry sky, just as he could see the realm of the Moon God when he looked at the moon in the ancient gods. Here too, he could extend his sight clearly.
“Is it really the same as in the game?” Li Yao scanned his surroundings and said, “Very well, then let's try my Infinite Range Arrow.”
In fact, Li Yao's hidden ability, his melding into the shadows, was not weaker than that of the Scorpion's. It was not impossible for him to decide the battle's outcome at the last moment.
But Li Yao did not want to do this; he intended to finish this competition in the most violent way possible, to prove the strength of the new mech with this competition.
“Then, let's start with the first one.” Li Yao took out the Thousand Mechanisms Bow and drew an arrow onto it.
The audience was stunned, not knowing what Li Yao was planning to do. Edward and the gaming experts suddenly stood up in shock. They had a vague idea of what Li Yao was about to do, but it was so astonishing that it was hard to believe.
“Has he gone mad? The nearest target is at least three kilometers away. Using today's precision sniper rifles, accurate aiming is not an issue, but with an unassisted bow and arrow, it is simply ludicrous,” the General frowned.
The middle-aged official shook his head slightly: “It seems you don't understand anything about Prairie Fire in the game. He has a very famous skill called Infinite Range Arrow, an impressive technique that needs no scope.”
“You can't compare a game to reality like that,” another official said.
“It appears that up to now, you do not agree with Professor Shen's research on Divine Metal,” the middle-aged sighed.
“It's not that we don't agree; it's just too far-fetched. And the new mech team members, this…” The officer had not finished speaking when he witnessed an almost death-defying scene.
Charging power + Infinite Range + Silent Arrow!
The audience saw a trace of dark light vanish, followed by the camera panning. A lion-man was swiftly racing through the Stone Forest; he was the closest to Li Yao and was quickly approaching.
However, before he knew what was happening, he felt intense pain, and then his body flew backward. A dark arrow was stuck in his body, the arrow having pierced through him, with only the tail end caught by his Heavy Armor. Just a small section was visible, with the arrow having gone through his body and pinned him to a large tree behind.
“I forfeit.” The lion-man, spitting out a mouthful of blood and feeling the numbing power from the arrow, immediately shouted.
The crowd could hardly believe their eyes; from such a distance, there was still such formidable power, and more importantly, it really hit the target.
With the slow-motion replay, the audience finally saw the trajectory of the arrow clearly, and it was then that they truly confirmed that the arrow was indeed shot by Li Yao.
A teleportation column of light lit up, and everyone knew that this meant another person had been eliminated.
“Second,” Li Yao nocked another arrow, his bow drawing taut again. Despite being immersed in the game-world, which, especially towards the later stages, mirrored the same brutality as reality, a game was still a game. Players killed could resurrect, and slain monster NPCs were merely virtual data. Yet true combat still left him feeling uncomfortable. He had not taken any opponent's life, merely badly wounding them, but the psychological shock of it was something only he fully understood–it was not as tranquil as he appeared.
Thud…
A boar-headed humanoid charged wildly, a deranged boar crashing through the underbrush, his feral eyes fixated only on Li Yao above in the treetops. However, an arrow pierced his body without warning; he spouted a gush of fresh blood without even comprehending what had happened.
The arrow was simply too fast, and Li Yao had released a Silent Arrow, truly noiseless.
Barely lifting his head, the boar-man caught sight of Li Yao's eyes, flickering with blue light. Although too far away to speak, he knew Li Yao was watching him, and seeing another arrow nocked, he realized everything. “I forfeit,” said the boar-man reluctantly, knowing that if he did not, what awaited him would be true death.
The third to fall was a Lizardman, his gaze filled with fear as he looked towards Li Yao. He was at least fifteen kilometers away, yet the arrow had completely penetrated his body. His scales, which he took pride in and which could rival armor, were of no use whatsoever.
At that moment, copious amounts of blood poured from the wound, and he collapsed to the ground, powerless, grasping the badge of the competition to forfeit.
Next, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth–one after another, a beam of teleportation light lit up, causing those rushing toward Li Yao to be filled with confusion. The only thing they could see was Li Yao continually drawing bow and nocking arrow.
As the beams kept rising, a chill set in among everyone, and they no longer dared to boldly charge at Li Yao. Instead, they continuously sought cover. Even so, while the intervals between the appearances of beams grew longer, they did not cease.
A leopard woman was sprinting and leaping swiftly between branches and boulders, even more agile than a true cheetah. In such a complex environment, she moved like a Charming Shadow, a true hunter, and the most lethal assassin. Up to now, she had already effortlessly taken down several enemies.
Indeed, taken down–for, in her heart, there were only life-and-death fights, no such thing as a competition. To her, only the dead enemies were the good kind.
At this moment, her gaze was firmly locked onto Li Yao, and she was one of the few who had not held back their moves.
“The agile leopard woman,” Li Yao finally focused his attention on her.
The leopard woman seemed to feel Li Yao's gaze, suddenly filled with an inner chill, a warning that appeared only in life-or-death moments.
She trusted her instincts, her body suddenly rolling out of the way.
Thud…
In the instant she rolled, an arrow grazed past her shoulder, ripping a slash in her leather armor, and also inflicted a fine wound on her.
“Damn, what kind of archery is this?” The leopard woman dodged a second arrow with a backward lean, then immediately crouched behind a huge boulder.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief when her body hair suddenly stood on end…
