MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

All hundred or so of the Crimson Blood Scorpions had been defeated, and their poisonous blood had formed a rancid river.

“How are you going to get out, dumb*ss?”

The Cat that Sings called out at Li Yi.

“Teleport!”

Li Yi’s body vibrated, and he instantly appeared beside The Cat that Sings. He then extended his hand and violently pinched at her cheeks.

“Like this.”

“Hahaha! You’ve admitted to being a dumbass!”

Li Yi and The Cat that Sings was safe for now, as they had already defeated the Crimson Blood Scorpions and confined their poisonous blood to a small area, eliminating the threat that was posed to them.

“You say that there are treasures here, but where?”

“Why the deepest area of the cave¹, of course!”

“And where’s it at?”

The paths before them had zig-zagged and crisscrossed around, and for the pair who had no sense of direction, determining the direction of the deepest region was not a trivial task.

After standing still and observing the paths for a long time, The Cat that Sings had lost her patience. “Can’t we just choose a random path?”

Li Yi narrowed his eyes and observed for a while longer before pointing at the path on the left. “This way!”

The Cat that Sings asked, “How did you figure it out?”

“By looking at its head.” Li Yi gave a simple reply.

Although the path on the left did not contain any Crimson Blood Scorpions, there was an excessively large black scorpion, and from this alone, Li Yi had determined it to be the correct path.

Usually, the deepest region of caves were the most dangerous regions, and this fact is made obvious by the powerful monsters that would impede the players halfway through the map.

The Cat that Sings praised, “How are you so f*cking smart! You make me feel as if I’m in heat!”

“Go scr*w yourself.”

“I just know you want to c*m on my face, f*ck!”

Li Yi did not bother to converse with the vulgar cat any longer. After all, she would always stray from the topic within three sentences, and usually, the new topic would usually be on the sexual spectrum.

Li Yi summoned Dolly and sent her to scout ahead. He then raised his bow and followed from far behind.

The Cat that Sings continued to spew expletives as she followed them. She was constantly trying to rile Li Yi up, but Li Yi was immune to her vulgarities. He was not bothered in the least by her words, which made her even angrier, causing her chest to rise and fall as she tried to contain her rage.

Sister Cat was constantly trying to make Li Yi talk as she was actually quite scared at the moment. She was trying to use words to muster her courage.

Li Yi was aware of this fact, and he was purposely ignoring her.

As the two players continued to defeat the scorpion monsters and delve deeper not the cave, The Cat that Sings gradually spoke less, and she had subconsciously clung to Li Yi’s clothes.

The light within the cave was growing dimmer, and despite how tough Sister Cat was, in the end, she was still a woman. It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid.

The duo had no longer encountered Crimson Blood Scorpions. However, as they continued deeper into the cave, the scorpion monsters they encountered had also grown in size.

“W-W-Wing y-you *ss! T-T-This r-r-r-really i-i-is the p-p-p-path to the d-d-d-deepest r-r-region, huh.”

The darkness of the cave was nearing total blindness, and The Cat that Sings was beginning to stutter.

Sensing that Sister Cat was almost scared out of her wits, Li Yi spoke, “Sister Cat, don’t tell me you’re afraid.”

“Afraid? Me? Hahahaha! Are you f*cking joking?”

The Cat that Sings who was famed for being tough, so, how would she admit something like being afraid?

“Why are you holding me if you’re not afraid, then?”

“F*ck you! I’m only holding onto you because I’m afraid I’ll trip.”

“A ghost!” Li Yi suddenly turned around and attempted to frighten Sister Cat.

However, The Cat that Sings was surprisingly not frightened, and in a straight face, she said, “Pui! You’re the only ghost I see here, p*ssy! I was never one to be frightened by antics like this.”

“Shh…ssh…shh…”

A weird sound could be heard resonating from ahead, and it instantly caused Li Yi and Sister Cat to halt their steps.

“Squeak squeak!”

“Thud! Thud!”

Dolly’s vision was unhindered by the darkness. The moment she spotted her prey, she immediately fired her arrow at it.

The Chain Arrows struck a black mass, and the black mass immediately lunged at Dolly.

It was only after the black mass had approached Dolly that Li Yi could finally see its figure clearly.

It was jet-black, two-tailed massive scorpion, and its size was even greater than an adult’s. When Dolly attacked it, it swiftly used its tails to entangle Dolly and crushed her with brute force.

Dolly instantly returned to egg form.

Although Dolly’s ATK stat was now up to par, her DEF was an entirely different matter…

The Cat that Sings placed an iron-clad grip on Li Yi, and she screamed at the top of her lungs, “What’s the monster? How many are there? Where is it at?”

“Are you blind? Can you not see the huge black scorpion in front of you?”

“F*ck it! Why would I ask you if I could?” The Cat that Sings had a blank look in her eyes as she furiously swore.

“You really can’t see it?”

Li Yi paused for a moment before attacking the Two-tailed Scorpion in front of him/

“True Overlord Arrow!”

A flaming phoenix was launched, and it pushed the Two-tailed Scorpion several meters back.

“Tch-tch—”

The Cat that Sings was still gripping onto a corner of Li Yi’s clothes, and it was up to Li Yi to single-handedly finish off the beast.

After defeating the Two-tailed Scorpion, Li Yi walked ahead to loot the corpse. He had received two Grade 10 materials, the Poisonous Scorpion Stingers, and he dangled both of them in front of The Cat that Sings’ face.

“Sister Cat, can you really not see, or are you just faking it?”

“What rubbish! Of course I can’t see.” Even when Li Yi had dangled the stingers in front of her, The Cat that Sings’ eyeballs did not flinch. It seemed that she really was not faking it.

“Are… Are you okay?” Li Yi’s tone was that of worry.

“Of course I am you wuss.” The Cat that Sings happily chided Li Yi. She could hear from Li Yi’s tone that he was worried for her, and that alone had made her happy.

The Cat that Sings then heaved a sigh, which was a rare sight for her. “It isn’t just me. My entire family has the same condition, we all fucking have Night Blindness.”

“Night Blindness?”

“It means that we can see normally during the day, but we’re blind as bats at night.”

“…”

“When we first came in, the lighting was good enough that my eyes could operate normally. However, I can’t see a f*cking thing! Otherwise, do you think that I like to cling on you?”

“Can it be cured?”

“I don’t know. I’ve tried several times, but it all ended in failure.”

Li Yi stayed silent. He was always impressed by Sister Cat’s happy-go-lucky nature, and as such, he never would have thought that she had such a huge secret…

“Does your sister, Bai Xiaoya have the same condition?”

“Yeah, that bitc… yeah, she does.”

“You don’t know how scary this condition is. It’s fine during the daytime, but at night, just a mere reduction in brightness would make me no different from a blind person. I say, I’ve crashed into walls so many times that I’ve lost count.”

Li Yi then waved his fingers in front of The Cat that Sings’ eyes, and he noticed that they did not budge at all. He then shifted his hand down and hovered it in front of her chest, but still, she did not give any reactions.

Li Yi’s molesting act was extremely nasty, and if Sister Cat were to see it, she would definitely not take it without punishing him. However, as she did not budge at all, it had proven that her words were true.

“Then you need to be careful when you’re going out at night, Sister Cat. After all, you wouldn’t even be able to identify the baddie who r*ped you if you do encounter one.”

“You don’t f*cking say. I’ve never ever stepped out at night.”

 Li Yi peered ahead and commented, “Alright, then hold on tight. It shouldn’t be long before we get some light again.”

“The path to the depths of the cave was filled with twists and turns. Aside from the Two-tailed Scorpion from before, Li Yi and The Cat that Sings had also encountered Three-tailed Scorpions, Four-tailed Scorpions, and Five-tailed Scorpions. Additionally, as the number of tails on the scorpions increased, their strength grew as well.

After moving forward for almost half an hour, the two encountered a black Six-tailed Scorpion.

Dolly had already become an egg, and as Li Yi attempted to solo it, Li Yi noticed something amiss. The Six-tailed Scorpion in front of them was one of the rare creatures that was immune to both physical and magical attacks.

Just like the Demon Dragon within Demon God Castle, it possessed a nigh unkillable body, as both physical and magical attacks were useless on it.

“Sister Cat, we’re doomed.”

“Why?” The Cat that Sings turned to the direction of Li Yi’s voice.

“We’ve encountered a Six-tailed Scorpion that’s immune to both physical and magical attacks. Even my Overlord Arrow can do nothing besides pushing it back.”

The Cat that Sings paused as she processed what Li Yi had said, and she scolded, “F*ck!”

“Territory Release!”

Li Yi extended his Chrono Territory to the max, but even then, it was useless against the Six-tailed Scorpion with unique properties. The scorpion continued charging forward within Li Yi’s Territory, and it was not hindered at the slightest.

“If you really can’t handle it, I suggest that we flee!” The Cat that Sings screamed out.

“Yeah, we’re out of options. We need to pull back. Sister Cat, run backward, there are no walls there.”

“F*ck off!”

The Cat that Sings pointed her middle finger at Li Yi before retreating.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

Dolly’s Metamorphosis was a success, and she had revived. However, Li Yi did not want her to continue fighting, and as such, he had dismissed her. Li Yi then fired several True Overlord Arrows into the Six-tailed Scorpion to push it back.

“Pseudocide!”

Crash!

Li Yi plummeted onto the ground.

System Notification: [You have successfully left the battle…]

The Six-tailed Scorpion stared blankly from afar, and it remained rooted on the spot.

Li Yi continued to wait on the ground. Once the Six-tailed Monster had turned its back to him, Li Yi crawled back up and hurriedly got to The Cat that Sings’ side.

The Cat that Sings extended her hand to grab onto Li Yi. She then asked, “How big is the monster? Can we brute force our way through?”

Li Yi froze for a moment before flinging away The Cat that Sings’ hand.

“What’s your problem?

“I should be asking you that! You’ve grabbed onto the wrong spot.”

“F*ck!”

“The Six-tailed Scorpion is massive, and it’s even stronger than Elites. It’s around Chief-level in strength, which is second only to bosses. Also, it has a strong territorial behavior within its domain.

Back then, when I used my True Overlord Arrow to attack it, I noticed that it would quickly return to its territory. So, I believe that I would have no problem with running past it.”

True Overlord Arrow can temporarily repel the Six-tailed Scorpion. Once the monster was pushed back, Li Yi would run across it, and then use Pseudocide to leave the battle. It was a foolproof plan.

However, how was Sister Cat, a victim of Night Blindness able to run past it?

The Cat that Sings angrily spouted, “Motherf*cker! Don’t you dare estimate me! Just tell me when you start the battle, and I’ll run past it. No biggie.”

“Can you really do it?”

“Of course I can!”

“Fine, give me some time to recover.”

Li Yi then sat cross-legged onto the ground.
