With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 367 Shen Yiyi's Crisis

Suddenly, rapid breathing came through the team's encrypted channel, followed by a woman's voice that was visibly trembling:

"Yaoyao... I'm in area E9, coordinates (312, 774)... I'm surrounded. It's the main force of the 'Blood Wolf Guild,' at least twelve people."

It's Shen Yiyi.

For the first time, a barely perceptible ripple appeared in Ye Yao's eyes, which had always been as calm as a deep pool.

"Yiyi, report the details."

Ye Yao's voice remained calm, but her speaking speed was noticeably faster.

"I'm in a semi-enclosed cave... The entrance has been sealed off by their control skills. They have a high-level barrier scroll, and my teleportation scroll is malfunctioning. Outside... There are four shield guards, three mages, two rangers, and assassins in the shadows... I can sense them."

Shen Yiyi tried her best to remain calm, but Ye Yao could hear the hidden fear in her voice.

"Hold on. I'm four kilometers away. Don't try to break out, hold the cave entrance. How much defensive skill do you have left?"

"Holy Light Shield will last for another three minutes... Healing Prayer has forty seconds left on cooldown... Yao Yao, they're launching a full-scale attack!"

The channel carried the booming sounds of spells being unleashed outside the cave, along with Shen Yiyi's urgent chanting.

Ye Yao had already slid down the rock face, her figure moving swiftly through the shadows.

At the same time, she issued a full-channel command in the squad's main channel:

"Attention all personnel, emergency rescue mission. Yiyi is surrounded by the Blood Wolf Guild in area E9. All team members near area E, move towards coordinates (312, 774), but do not expose yourselves. Wait for my instructions."

"Blood Wolf Guild??" Chen Yan's voice came through the channel.

"Exactly. That's why this will be a tough battle." Ye Yao's voice was icy. "But Yiyi must be saved. Now, listen to my plan—"

She moved with astonishing speed through the dense forest while calmly assigning tasks:

"Li Feng, you're in area D8, right? Go around to the east side of E9 and scout out the Blood Wolf Guild's encirclement. I need to know if they have a second wave of troops lying in ambush."

"Received, will report back within two minutes."

"Zhou Mo, you're closest, at E7. Don't get any closer. Climb the tree and use your Eagle Eye to observe the battle situation at the cave entrance, and report Yi Yi's defensive status in real time."

"Understood. In position... I see, Yiyi's Holy Light Shield has two-thirds of its strength remaining, but at least eight firing points outside are bombarding it in turn."

"Chen Yan, take two defensive team members and slowly approach from the north. Set up an ambush at coordinates (300, 790). If reinforcements come from that direction, intercept them."

"Received, we are moving."

Ye Yao's mind raced. At full speed in her [Shadow Shuttle] state, it would take her three minutes to cover four kilometers.

Shen Yiyi's shield can also last for three minutes.

The timing was perfect.

"Yiyi, listen to me."

Ye Yao's voice traveled through the channel into the cave, calm yet powerful.

"Focus on maintaining your shield and abandon any thoughts of attacking. Once your Healing Prayer is off cooldown, do not use it to heal yourself; instead, cast [Infusion of Faith] on yourself, which will strengthen your shield and your own defense."

Zhou Mo will create chaos in the southeast direction in thirty seconds to draw some of the firepower.

You only need to do one thing: stay calm. I'll be there soon.

"...Understood!" Shen Yiyi's voice was filled with determination again.

Ye Yao continued to move through the shadows, her speed already at its limit.

The surrounding scenery turned into blurry blocks of color, with only the "torches" representing the enemy flickering at the edge of the field of vision.

She bypassed the two areas where fighting was taking place without stopping.

But at the third spot, three players happened to block her path.

There were two warriors and a mage, who looked like they had just finished a battle and were picking up their loot.

Ye Yao didn't even slow down.

【Shadow Walk】—She passed directly through the shadows between the three people, and in the instant they passed each other, her dagger shot out like a venomous snake.

The first soldier's throat was slit, and the second soldier felt a chill in his back as he looked down to see the blood-stained tip of a dagger protruding from his chest.

The mage turned around in terror. Just as he raised his staff, Ye Yao appeared in front of him, pressing her left hand against his mouth and thrusting a dagger into his chin with her right, piercing through his brain.

The three bodies fell to the ground almost simultaneously.

Ye Yao didn't even glance at it and continued walking. The whole process took less than two seconds, and her pace wasn't even disrupted.

This is the terrifying aspect of the SSS-level talent [Shadow Affinity] – she is almost invincible in the shadows.

Movement speed, stealth effect, and critical strike damage all receive huge bonuses, and the cooldown time of all shadow skills is halved.

"Zhou Mo, get ready." Ye Yao glanced at the distance; there was still one and a half kilometers to go.

"Ready. There are three Corrupted Heart Trees eighty meters to the southeast. You can use Explosive Arrows to detonate their spores."

"Thirty seconds countdown. Yiyi, hang in there."

"Received!" Shen Yiyi's voice came through the channel, accompanied by a more urgent chanting.

Ye Yao calculated the time. Her figure flickered like a ghost in the dense forest, each [Shadow Shuttle] covering a distance of fifty meters, with a cooldown time of only three seconds.

With ten seconds left in the countdown, she could already see the skill lights coming from the direction of the distant cave.

Five seconds left in the countdown.

three.

two.

One.

boom--!!!

A violent explosion suddenly erupted from the southeast, and purple spores of the Corrupting Heart Tree flew everywhere, spreading with a strong neurotoxin.

The Blood Wolf Guild members who were besieging the cave were clearly in turmoil, with at least two mages and a ranger turning towards the direction of the explosion.

At the cave entrance, Shen Yiyi's Holy Light Shield had become extremely dim, flickering violently under the fierce bombardment, but it never broke.

Her face was pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat, clearly indicating that she had pushed her magic power to its limit.

"The shield can hold for another fifteen seconds!" Zhou Mo's urgent voice rang out in the channel.

"That's enough."

Ye Yao's voice was like an ice blade slicing through the air.

She had reached the edge of the battlefield, lurking in the shadow of a giant tree, overlooking the situation below.

The cave is located below a cliff, with a relatively open clearing in the woods in front of the entrance.

At this moment, twelve players from the Blood Wolf Guild are frantically attacking the soon-to-break shield.

Ye Yao's purple eyes swept over everyone, instantly completing the analysis:

Four shield guards, positioned far apart, are responsible for blocking possible external attacks—the priority target.

Three mages are taking turns bombarding the barrier with high-damage spells—second priority.

Two rangers patrolled the surrounding trees—they had to be dealt with first.
