Li Yao was not sitting idle either; his Exploding Sheep rapidly scattered around him, avoiding clustering together.
Although Exploding Sheep are inherently stable explosives and typically immune to general impact and long-range attacks, they are still highly sensitive to fire magic.
If the Exploding Sheep are too close to one another, the current manufacturing materials make them susceptible to a chain reaction of explosions.
"Running is futile. This is a standard arena and, no matter how vast it may seem, it has its limits," Illusion God warned. Having noted Li Yao's sniper gun, he wasn't going to provide him with an opportunity to use it.
Like all summoning professions, he himself was relatively weak, and while confident in his ability to withstand a regular bow and arrow attack, he did not dare to risk the sniper gun. Thus, even when approaching Li Yao, he made sure to keep the Iron Stone Demon at the forefront of his defense with skeleton marksmen at his side.
