Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 463 The Sandstorm of Sequence Four

But this was not Li Wei's strongest attack; it was just a normal performance.

His magic-piercing perception can increase perception by an additional 5 points within three seconds, while consuming 20 points of mental energy to perform super-limit perception on the target and lock onto the target's vital weaknesses! At the same time, it can break through the target's magical defenses from the lowest sequence two to the highest sequence three!
But this is only the first blow, because there are also the bonuses of a five-star enchanted powerful bow, a five-star enchanted armor-piercing arrow, the resonance of fate for all classes, and the level 3 awakening of all attributes!

All of the above are concentrated in this one arrow. Li Wei didn't even dare to imagine how powerful it was, so he didn't actually push his Demon-Slaying Perception to its limit.

Then, before the six-star stone troll could even emerge from the soil, one of the most important magical cores flowing within its body was blasted apart.

Although there are actually four, this most important magic core has almost directly taken away 40% of its power and vitality!

"Roar!"

It finally had a chance to let out a short, frustrated roar, because before the roar was over, Li Wei's second five-star magic-piercing arrow came again. This time, the arrow hit one of its legs, and the second important mobile magic core was blasted apart.

Then, in the third second, the third arrow struck its left chest, blasting the third rapidly moving magic core to smithereens once again!

At this point, it had lost 80% of its magical energy and life force. However, Li Wei's vision went slightly black for a moment because the magic-breaking perception had ended. The perception, which had soared to 19.5, dropped back to 14.5. This was the price, though not high.

"Great!"

Li Wei secretly praised him, and his five-star warhorse moved as if it were his own arm, accelerating directly toward the stone giant that had been blasted to the ground.

Although this guy still has two magic cores left, he is actually severely injured and on the verge of death. These two magic cores are very weak and do not move very fast within his body. At present, they cannot even repair the damage to his body and can only maintain his life.

So when Li Wei took out his five-star enchanted spear, rode his horse forward, and pierced the stone giant with two consecutive spear thrusts, he successfully killed the stone giant with a strength of six stars!

The whole process went incredibly smoothly.

But this doesn't actually mean the stone troll was weak; it just means Li Wei was too strong.

His previous three arrows were basically enough to instantly kill three Li Yues in a row.

The result was that the stone troll's life energy was reduced to 80%, which was equivalent to him actually using his ultimate move.

Activating the Demon-Slaying Perception talent requires 20 points of mental energy, and each resonance of the four life forms consumes 5 points of mental energy and 200 points of stamina. This means that in order to unleash this terrifying three-arrow damage, Li Wei would need to consume 35 points of mental energy and 600 points of stamina. Moreover, he has the advantage of going first. If this were a six-star magical creature with extremely fast dodging and movement, it certainly wouldn't be so simple.

"Boom!"

At that moment, accompanied by a tremendous roar, the stone troll's massive body instantly shattered into more than a dozen huge rocks, all of which were four-star quality rocks filled with magical energy.

Without saying a word, Li Wei put everything into the resource card, not even letting go of small rocks the size of a human head. After collecting them all, he finally found a familiar six-star gold card, but no purple card.

After all, it's just a magical creature.

Li Wei stepped forward and picked it up without hesitation.

[You have slain a six-star stone troll, a common social magical creature in the magical world. You have obtained a six-star gold card.]

[Note: This gold card can be retained for 24 hours, but the magical fluctuations on it will continuously dissipate in all directions. Every hour, the amount of magical dissipation can reach 2%, and there is a very high chance of attracting seven-star magical creatures within a 500-mile radius. However, you can also choose to exchange it for a gold-quality pass token, or to enhance a certain piece of equipment, weapon, code name, or hunting pet.]

-

Without hesitation, Li Wei tried to use the six-star gold card to enhance his five-star enchanted bow, but he failed because he had already reached the weapon's maximum enhancement limit.

He continued to enhance heavy armor, light armor, and spears to five stars, all in the same way, as if five stars was the limit for weapons forged in a low-magic world.

He had intended to continue strengthening Ah Dai, but Ah Dai refused, even saying that he couldn't continue strengthening the five-star warhorse.

Strange, it seems we've touched the ceiling.

Therefore, Li Wei could only choose to continue strengthening the codename Ranger George; a six-star gold card would suffice.

The specific effects become: Perception +3, Agility +30, Health +300, Stamina +300, Hunter Fate +15, Woodcutter Fate +15, Scout Fate +15.

Li Wei's current overall attributes are: Health 1150, Stamina 1050, Strength 70, Agility 98, Defense 135, Spirit 76, Reason 12, Perception 15.
Farmer's destiny number 75, Hunter's destiny number 62, Woodcutter's destiny number 63, Scout's destiny number 48.
Among these, because the hunter and woodcutter's fate has returned to 60, his current perception limit has increased by 1 again, becoming the normal limit of 13 points.

It can only be said that the Ranger codename has too much of an advantage, but unfortunately there is still one last enhancement left. At this time, Ah-Dai has already transmitted the surrounding information. A total of eight stone trolls have awakened, and they are positioned at the eight corners of the area, rushing towards Li Wei to encircle him. However, the seven-star stone troll leader has not jumped out.

That's not a good idea!

The six-star Stone Troll is very difficult to deal with. The first three magic cores circulate very quickly and very secretly within its body. Li Wei can hit it with one arrow, but for others, such as Li Yue, it would take at least two attempts. Ordinary five-star classes like Javier, Sith, Jocelyn, and Duan Bowen can only increase their hit rate by increasing the number of attacks.

Of course, there are Hathaway's mental attacks, Thomas's transformation into a stone giant to fight back, and Zhao Xuanxuan's hammer resonance; these are all good ways to deal with this kind of stone troll.

However, they would likely all fall victim to the Seven Star Stone Troll, so this approach wouldn't work; they had to lure the Seven Star Stone Troll out.

Not enough hatred!

"Ah Dai, tell Li Yue and the others to wait a little longer; the hatred isn't stable enough yet!"

Li Wei spoke quickly, while Ah Dai was transformed into a small crow with a very low presence, flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Above the battlefield, which was within a radius of 50 or 60 miles, were 36 four-star hunting pets, all at an altitude of over 10,000 meters.

They formed a fast and efficient communication network, and Li Wei's orders could be relayed to Li Yue in no more than three seconds.

"The seven-star stone troll leader hasn't come out yet. Li Wei is trying to lure it out. Everyone, don't make any rash moves." Li Yue said in a deep voice. To be honest, although she had participated in six cross-border missions over the past few decades and had even led a team to kill six-star magical creatures, she had never actually encountered a seven-star magical creature.

Because these high-level magical creatures are usually hidden deep in the ground.

But now that a seven-star magical creature has spawned right at the start of the game, there's only one possibility left: Jiang Xinran, that bitch, is up to something again. They're too close to the starting positions of the four tyrants, the furthest being only 5,000 miles away and the closest only 2,000 miles away.

In this world of magic, isn't this distance a joke?
She had seen that map before. The furthest marquis, who started as a treacherous minister, was a full 50,000 miles away from their position. That was truly far away from the tyrant, surrounded by cruel officials and sycophants. Wouldn't they be killing people indiscriminately?

So it's precisely because we're so close to the Tyrant that we get to encounter seven-star magical creatures. Otherwise, if we were 20,000 to 30,000 miles away, we'd probably only encounter five-star or at most six-star magical creatures at the start.

As I was pondering this, I felt the entire vast plain outside shaking violently, with the tremors felt for hundreds of miles around. What was happening?

Damn, the Seven Star Stone Troll has been lured out.

Li Yue was shocked, and then realized that Li Wei had killed another six-star stone giant in such a short time!

Only in this way can we lure out the leader of the Seven Star Stone Giant. Li Wei, when did he become so powerful?

At that moment, Li Wei indeed solved the problem using the simplest method.

No matter how cunning the stone troll leader was, no matter how many tricks it had, it couldn't withstand such blatant provocation.

However, this guy is truly terrifying. After emerging from the earth, he is a huge monster, nearly fifty meters tall and as big as a small mountain. When he runs, it even causes a small earthquake!

Li Wei only glanced back once before he was startled; this was something he couldn't handle at this stage.

"go!"

The five-star warhorse was in sync with him, galloping lightly and quickly, reaching a speed of 120 kilometers per hour in a short time, and also managing to pick up the second six-star gold card he had killed.

However, the leader of the Seven Star Stone Giants was truly capable, even able to manipulate the magic power within dozens of miles around him. In less than ten seconds, he triggered a terrifying sandstorm, which, at a speed of 240 kilometers per hour, pressed down on Li Wei, sealing him off and enveloping him.

This kind of magic must be at least Sequence 4, right?
Li Wei's face showed anxiety and fear, but he was actually as calm as a rock. Yes, his five-star warhorse could not outrun the storm. In fact, the storm was only about twenty miles in diameter and was constantly following him, making it impossible for him to open his eyes and distinguish between east, west, south, and north. Even his +15 perception was targeted and suppressed, from +15 to +10!

Straight line -5!
That's terrifying!

If it were an ordinary person—no, let alone an ordinary person, even someone as powerful as Li Yue—if they were trapped in this sandstorm, they would be trapped to death within minutes, like being in a maze, unable to get out.

But Li Wei is different. Not to mention he still has 10 points of perception left, even if he didn't, his Dawn Ranger card's talent, Space-Time Interweaving, would allow him to escape calmly and effortlessly.

Of course, he couldn't run away, because if he did, the hatred would be nullified. So he pretended to be trapped, but in reality, he was going in circles, creating opportunities for Li Yue, Hathaway, Zhao Xuanxuan, Thomas, and the others.

In fact, at this moment, Li Yue had already decisively changed the plan and there was no time for her to become the second monster lure.

What they need now is for their heavy cavalry to advance in full force and kill as many six-star stone trolls as possible as quickly as possible, in order to prepare for the final siege of the seven-star stone troll leader.
