It was an overwhelming victory. By the time Li Yi drove the chariot back, most of the embattlements set up by the Fire Dwarf monsterlings had been destroyed. The few remaining embattlements scattered here and there no longer posed a threat to the party.
The Giant Embattlement returned to normal. Girl Without Underwear and I Love XXX fired their cannons with all their might and managed to knock off another cannon before the Giant Embattlement began to fire.
It was even easier to fight the Giant Embattlement now that it only had three cannons. Everyone could feel the pressure on their shoulders easing up. After five minutes, they successfully blew the Giant Embattlement to smithereens.
They were through!
While the Fiery Chariot still had more than 70,000HP left, they had already obliterated the Giant Embattlement.
“I’ve beaten the Fiery Chariot Dungeon more than ten times, and this is the first time this battle felt so easy……” even I Love XXX had to respect Li Yi now.
Girl Without Underwear went forth and opened the chest, obtaining three pieces of blue equipment. Li Yi also automatically received 3 Soul Crystals.
Li Yi rolled Pass on everything. He would not want this equipment.
“Let’s continue!” Li Yi stomped down twice, revving up the Fiery Chariot.
“With the chariot?” said Girl Without Underwear, surprised.
“Of course. You’re supposed to clear this entire dungeon by driving the chariot. Why else would it be called Fiery Chariot?”
“No way……” When they heard Li Yi’s words, all four female players were dumbfounded.
They had fought through the Fiery Chariot Dungeon many times, but they rarely completed it. Most of the time, they would only reach the first half. The reason was simple; they were not even close to being good as Li Yi, so they kept using Burning Barrier all the way there. As a result, the Fiery Energy buff could not be stacked. After defeating the boss, even if the Fiery Chariot had not been destroyed, they still would not be able to pass through the field of landmines ahead.
A top player had announced on the official site a long time ago that the field of landmines was to prevent players from advancing with the Fiery Chariot. That was why players were advised to throw away the Fiery Chariot decisively before reaching the minefield, or else they would be blown up to high heavens.
“You’ll know whether it’s possible or not after you get into the chariot.”
Everyone boarded the chariot and Li Yi set out.
He did not head straight for the minefield. Instead, he did the same old routine, devouring all the Energy Crystals nearby until the Fiery Energy buff was stacked up to 20. Only then did he drive toward the minefield ahead.
“Ready the two cannons. Aim at the minefield and fire!”
The two women obediently fired their cannons at the minefield ahead.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
“Barroom! Barroom!”
The mines were triggered, leading to a series of explosion. The sweeping wave of air currents stretched for several hundred meters, stupefying the four women.
“We tried something like this before as well, but the mines just never went off. What’s…… what’s happening here?”
Li Yi explained with a laugh, “Your cannons weren’t strong enough, so of course the mines wouldn’t go off. If you want to trigger the mines, the Fiery Chariot has to be buffed up to 20 times.”
Li Yi made it seem easy when he carried them, but in truth, one would have to collect every single Energy Crystal in the dungeon and devour them all in order to bring the buff up to 20.
Using Blazing Barrier even once would render them unable to reach 20 stacks of the buff. That was why Li Yi would rather have the chariot lose HP than use the barrier.
Avoiding attacks required a show of skill, and looking for the Energy Crystals was no different. If he did not have pointers from a strategy guide in the past life, Li Yi would not be able to find all the Energy Crystals either.
All the mines in the field were detonated, and the women cheered. They had run the Fiery Chariot Dungeon more than ten times, but this was the first time they felt so good doing it.
Girl Without Underwear said with admiration, “No wonder the monsterlings after this always spawned in groups of a dozen or so. I see, so we can use the chariot to beat them. And here I was thinking that we needed an Archer……”
I Love XXX winked at Li Yi seductively. “Really impressive, superstar. D’you got a girlfriend? What do you think of me?”
Li Yi chuckled. “I already have seven. If you don’t mind, I sure won’t mind another.”
“Tsk, seven! Who do you think you are, Superman?” I Love XXX glanced at Li Yi’s crotch.
“I’m a whirlwind in bed and a seven-time champion in a night. They call me the Great Wall that never falls.” Li Yi was pretty shameless too.
“Stop fooling around, and focus on shooting!” Girl Without Underwear could not take it anymore. She fired two rounds ahead and interrupted their conversation.
I Love XXX changed her target and smiled at Girl Without Underwear. “We’re just having a chat. Why are you so nervous, Girl? I always wondered about your name. Girl Without Underwear, hahaha, I bet you’re really craving some meat.”
“You’re the one craving meat, I Love XXX. Says so right there in the name. Unlike you, I just dislike being bound up. That’s why I gave myself that name.”
“What, you’re a girl without underwear in real life as well?” I Love XXX let her jaw drop exaggeratedly.
“Focus on shooting!” Girl Without Underwear could not be bothered to explain, so she changed the topic.
20 stacks of Fiery Energy meant that there was plenty of force behind the cannons’ attacks. Those monsterlings all perished with one shot. They made quick work of the battles and gained EXP quickly as well, making up for all the time they lost in collecting the Energy Crystals earlier.
The second boss of Fiery Chariot was a Fire Dwarf carrying a large bazooka. Without a chariot, this battle would be somewhat tiring because the target ran back and forth while shooting. It did not stop for even a moment, and it had high EVA too, so players would have to chase it constantly in order to attack it.
It was much easier with the chariot. They just had to aim at it and fire. After more than 20 shots, the Fire Dwarf mini-boss had been defeated with ease.
“That’s way too easy. I always figured that the dungeons in King of Pantheon were too difficult, but now it seems to be quite simple. “Girl Without Underwear was ecstatic again.
Knowing how to beat the stage and going in without knowing were two completely different things. The dungeons in King of Pantheon were slightly difficult, but once a player knew how to beat it, anyone would be able to do it quite easily.
Girl Without Underwear went to loot the body but only received a piece of blue equipment. On the other hand, Li Yi received another Soul Crystal, but the quest complete notification still eluded him.
“There’s one final boss left, let’s go!”
Li Yi started up the Fiery Chariot and headed off again.
The Fiery Chariot had around 30,000HP left. Although it looked precariously low, the cannons’ superior firepower meant that the Fire Dwarf monsterlings simply could not reach them.
It seemed dangerous, but in truth, they were perfectly safe.
The monsterlings posed no threat whatsoever. A few minutes later, Li Yi successfully drove the chariot to the final battle.
The final boss of the Fiery Chariot Dungeon was a giant Fiery Chariot. It looked just like the one that the players drove and even had five Fire Dwarfs manning it, but it was several times larger in both size and HP.
“Girl, crawl into the cannon in a bit. I’ll send you onto the giant chariot, and you kill the Fire Dwarf controlling the temperature decompression valve.”
“Me, crawl into the cannon? Are…… are you sure? Every time I fight this boss, I just run there directly.” Girl Without Underwear was stunned.
“If I say it works, it works. Get in there now, it takes too long for you to run there. If we get stream-rolled even once, that could be it for us,” commanded Li Yi quickly.
“Oh, okay.” Girl Without Underwear crawled into the cannon, still confused.
“I Love XXX, watch out for Girl’s HP. If she’s low, fill her up. Once she’s full, fire away.”
“Alright.” I Love XXX nodded.
Li Yi walked onto the embattlement and aimed the cannon with Girl Without Underwear in it at the giant Fiery Chariot.
“Bang!”
“Aaahhh—”
As Girl Without Underwear screamed, the human bullet was successfully shot out, landing perfectly on the giant chariot.
[−1,000]
Girl Without Underwear took damage but I Love XXX immediately used a Healing Spell.
“Kill the monsterling at the decompression valve! Everyone else, continue what you were doing!”
The ammunition was fitted into the cannon. Li Yi shot one round and then quickly jumped down from the embattlement, returning to the cockpit.
Girl Without Underwear was slashing away at the monsterling on the giant chariot. The giant chariot had 1,000,000HP while the Fire Dwarf monsterling only had 30,000. It was much easier to just kill it.
“Once you’re done with the valve, kill the monsterling in charge of moving the ammunition!” Li Ti continued to issue commands.
Li Yi was doing the jobs of two people at once. While he drove the chariot to avoid enemy fire, on one hand, he was also running to the embattlement to shoot the cannon. Everyone else cooperated very well too. Nobody made any mistakes, so the battle went relatively smoothly.
Since the giant chariot constantly had its Defensive Barrier activated, the players’ cannons could not reach within the chariot. That was also why Li Yi shot Girl Without Underwear over there.
They worked together from the inside and out. Soon enough, the giant chariot had fallen to pieces. The monsterling in charge of the decompression valve was killed, so with no one on the giant chariot placed in charge of the decompression, the chariot would explode every few seconds. Each explosion took 50,000HP. By the time the monsterling in charge of transporting ammunition was killed, the giant chariot’s Defensive Barrier had also been destroyed. Li Yi ordered Girl Without Underwear to return, and they aimed at the giant chariot with two large cannons, shooting wildly.
“Activating the final action, the Simulated Ultimate Weapon……”
When the giant chariot’s HP dropped beneath 10,000HP, the Fire Dwarf monsterling driving the giant chariot pressed the red button on the chariot.
The giant chariot transformed, becoming something like a Fire Dwarf walking upright. This was the Simulated Final Weapon.
Attacking its body would not deal it any damage. The Simulated Final Weapon’s only weakness was its back. The only way to damage it would be to attack its back.
Girl Without Underwear said, “Do you want me to go down and fight? I’ll pull ’em from the front and you guys attack from the back?”
“Get down there, yes, go!” Li Yi nodded vigorously. Whether they had the chariot or not, having the main tank pull from the front was the only correct way to fight.
Girl Without Underwear leaped down from the chariot and used Charge to rush up to the weapon, pulling it from the front.
Li Yi drove the chariot to the back and began to launch an intense cannon attack on the weapon’s back.
There was no need to drive at all anymore. They just had to shoot.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The power of the Fiery Energy buff stacked 20 times was quite formidable. The weapon had 100,000HP but it died within a minute.
“Pring clang bang! Boom!”
The weapon began to fall apart. Without exception, all five of them received the achievement, Fiery Chariot.
The only way to obtain this achievement was to win the dungeon while driving the chariot and keeping the chariot intact.
Girl Without Underwear reached out her hand to loot the remains of the chariot. Li Yi immediately received a system notification.
“Ding!”
[Congratulations! You have collected enough Soul Crystals. You may now return to Blood Moon Village and hand in your quest to Uravi.]
It was finally done!
Li Yi heaved a long sigh.
“My luck’s only average this time, I got one more piece of blue equipment.”
Girl Without Underwear walked over to him. Li Yi looked at her face and instantly froze.
When Li Yi shot Girl Without Underwear away earlier, she had to take off her Horn Helmet because it got stuck. Now, a delicate little face was revealed to Li Yi.
‘Teacher Zhang Yan……’
Li Yi recognized her immediately.
