Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Ice Conductor

Li Yao directly checked the attributes of the boss on the other side to see if it was up to par.

Frogman Patrol Officer

Tier: Level 20 1-star leader

Health: 440,000

Armor: 890

Skills: Maelstrom, Poison Mist, Summon Poison Arrow Frog, Poison Cleavage, Poison Arrow, Fierce Poison Dance

After seeing the attributes, Li Yao gave each of them an Intermediate Antitoxin, saying, “Drink it quickly, this is the best antidote potion we have at the moment. Also, prepare the detoxification potion, and detoxify whenever necessary.”

An Intermediate Antitoxin could neutralize a significant amount of toxin damage, but it could not prevent poisoning, so a detoxification potion was essential.

Like bleeding effects, toxins commonly cause continuous damage. Without antidote potions and detoxification potions, it could be a big trouble.

Of course, if one encounters a potent poison, dying immediately from poisoning is not unimaginable.

“Damn weaklings, since you don’t appreciate my kindness, die here then. I bet the general would prefer your heads. That useless prince is nothing but a stray dog now. We’ll soon catch him and feed him to the fish!”

Of course, the patrol officer was merely bluffing. The prince’s transformations were too unpredictable. It was nearly impossible for them to find him no matter what form he took.

All they could do was establish a detection line. But this kind of detection device couldn’t be moved, so it could only prevent the prince from sneaking back to the Tide Tribe. Searching for him was like finding a needle in a haystack.

The newly established tribe was not without enemies. If they spread out and the tribe got exterminated, then if the prince returned to the Tide Tribe, their plan would fail.

Their strategy was clear: Can’t find the prince? No problem. As long as they dragged this out for three years, the prince’s return would be useless.

“Hydra, Floating Snow, tie him down.”

Li Yao commanded, and then himself, Li Jie, and Tongtong retreated to the other side of the Hydra and began attacking.

“Think you can trap me? Not so easy,” roared the Frogman Patrol Officer. “Kill them from the other side!”

Summon Poison Arrow Frog!

Three Silver Elite Poison Arrow Frogs charged towards Li Yao from another direction.

Meanwhile, the hydra’s Floating Snow had started, and the leading Poison Arrow Frog that had entered the Floating Snow’s range was affected by the slowing effect.

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Shadow Snake, causing the two Poison Arrow Frogs intending to attack Li Yao’s team to suddenly turn around and shoot a poison arrow at the Patrol Officer.

The now dazed Patrol Officer about to attack Li Yao from the other side stopped in his tracks, but upon seeing their crimson eyes, he knew he was being controlled by the Hydra.

He then stopped and began attacking the two betraying Poison Arrow Frogs with his trident.

“Focus fire on the Poison Arrow Frogs first.”

The trio’s attacks were very powerful, and two waves of attacks instantly killed a Silver Elite.

Then the three of them switched their focus to the Patrol Officer, who at this point had also entered the range of Floating Snow.

Of course, the frogmen who came with the Patrol Officer also arrived quickly and joined the battle. They were slower than the Patrol Officer, so they were slightly off rhythm.

“You two flank from the other side.” The Patrol Officer sneered, “Let’s see how you kill them all this time.”

“Kill the minions first, don’t rush to deal with the boss.” Li Yao’s strategy was very clear.

Felling the forty-thousand-health boss quickly was not an easy feat, and it was more profitable to eliminate the minions following the Patrol officer first.

“This Floating Snow is much more powerful than my Blizzard.” Li Jie remarked as she was attacking.

The deployed Floating Snow was incredibly potent; while it didn’t root enemies, it slowed them down so drastically it was akin to turning them into slow-motion. Under these conditions, unless one had movement abilities, catching up to someone was nearly impossible.

But killing the Hydra was also a hopelessly difficult task. The Hydra’s health was substantial; if they ignored Li Yao, his output damage was terrifying.

So, the Patrol Officer had to command his men to encircle the group. Otherwise, he risked being kited to death by Li Yao.

Li Yao also had to focus on the minions. After all, all three of them were glass cannons. If hit by the minions, they might be instantly killed. The minions were annoying. Since the boss couldn’t be rushed down, this was the only decision left.

“No good, our damage is not enough. Tongtong, use Bloodlust.” Seeing that Rapid Shooting was off cooldown, Li Yao, ordered Tongtong to cast Bloodlust.

Bloodlust greatly increased agility, casting speed, attack power, and magic damage. It was the signature skill of the Shaman Priest.

In his past life, there was a saying that it was always welcome to have a Druid who could combat resurrect and buff, and a Shaman Priest, not for damage or healing, but to follow commands and not die before using Bloodlust.

While there was a bit of humor, it demonstrated the overwhelming power of this skill.

With the activation of Bloodlust, all three members’ attack speeds noticeably skyrocketed a notch.

Li Yao immediately activated Rapid Shooting. The firearm in Li Yao’s hand cast a series of shadowy afterimages.

There weren’t that many people who came with the Patrol Officer: two Silver Elites, two Elites, and a dozen or so Poison Arrow Frogs.

The three of them had divided their attacks. None of Li Yao’s targets lasted more than five seconds.

When only three Poison Arrow Frogs were left, the Patrol Officer who had killed the two controlled Poison Arrow Frogs was also approaching Li Yao.

Due to Li Yao’s orders, the Hydra had been constantly attacking the minions and hadn’t been able to focus on controlling the Patrol Officer. Of course, it was hard to control boss-tier entities.

Like this Patrol Officer, for instance. He was highly intelligent, very different from the beast-type bosses who merely relied on instinct to fight.

Of course, higher-tier monsters, also known as Warcraft, have high intelligence too. It’s just that these kinds of beasts were rarely encountered at their current level.

“Li Jie, make things difficult for him.” Seeing the Patrol Officer closing in, Li Yao knew that once he cleared the leg obstruction, he could see all three of them, at which point he would be able to attack directly. The Patrol Officer had long-range attack skills.

“Okay.” Li Jie agreed very straightforwardly. Being an Elite class Frost Mage, she was naturally great at control, and as a Frost Master, she was a master of manipulating ice, a highly versatile profession.

Now they were in the water, giving her an even greater advantage.

The Patrol Officer had already noticed Li Jie and pointed his trident at her.

Maelstrom!

A surge of greenish water rushed towards Li Jie; one look and it was obvious it was extremely toxic.

Li Jie waved her magic wand, and with a crunching sound, an Ice Wall formed just in time to freeze this surge of poison water and form a green ice wall, blocking the Patrol Officer.

That wasn’t it. Another circular Ice Wall also formed a cage, trapping the Patrol Officer within an ice prison.

“Amazing! My sister-in-law is really powerful!” The silly and cute Tongtong clapped her hands in cheer as she turned to see Li Jie’s series of maneuvers.

“Impressive.” Li Yao also expressed his admiration in wonder, it was astonishing that she could manipulate the Frost Mage class in such a short amount of time. Not just technique-wise, her spiritual power was also not weak, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to pull off such impressive operations.

“The main thing is that we’re in the sea, and there’s the Hydra’s Floating Snow. Without those, I wouldn’t have been so relaxed.” Li Jie was already back to cleaning up the remaining three minions…
