Chapter 1 Dungeon Run!

Lord Grim took the lead, the main force for pulling aggro. At first, the four monsters were aggroed in the same way. After Lord Grim moved into position to startle the four small monsters, Soft Mist followed. She quickly snatched the position Ye Xiu had pointed out to her, and with a Falling Flower Palm followed by a Dragon Tooth after launching them into the air, all four small monsters were knocked away.

Lord Grim once again used Shadow Clone Technique, but this time not towards Soft Mist's position, but directly towards the direction the four small monsters were flying. Cleansing Mist, Steamed Bun Invasion, and Deception had already rushed to this location when Lord Grim startled the four monsters. They took over the monsters, and in a few moves, they stuffed them into that stone crevice. The zombie monster was at the very back, with three skeleton monsters in front. Swords, spears, cannon shells, and bricks rained down on them.

Before long, the first monster in front fell, and the second skeleton took its place. Of course, the area-of-effect skills that could be used while outputting the first skeleton monster were all used. When the second one came out, its health was already low. After receiving several rounds of attacks, it collapsed. The third one took its place, but it was even weaker. The five of them combined their attacks and blasted it into a pile of bone fragments in just one round.

The three piles of bone fragments were neatly stacked together. The number four zombie monster opened its rotten mouth and gnashed its rotten teeth, wanting to come up and tear them apart, but the five had already run off without a trace.

Ye Xiu's new strategy was to add multiple monster-locking methods to the original monster-kiting strategy.

Usually, locking monsters was a method to pursue stability and safety. It didn't offer any advantage in efficiency. However, the monster-locking used by Ye Xiu in the Graveyard dungeon directly locked a monster to the point of not needing to kill it, naturally saving a little time.

But for a dungeon team pursuing records, monster-locking couldn't be done slowly and repeatedly. It had to be done in one go in the shortest amount of time.

For example, the first wave of four small monsters could be locked by Ye Xiu's Lord Grim alone, but it was far less efficient than the five-person coordination just now. The output speed was even worse.

Perfect and meticulous cooperation might not be necessary for success, but it was necessary for efficiency.

However, there was one place where success depended on cooperation. This place was also the difficulty in the entire strategy, and a place where the five had made multiple mistakes during practice. They hadn't perfectly completed it even once.

When comparing the new and old methods, Liu Hao found that the new method allowed them to avoid fighting a total of 21 small monsters from start to finish, which was 9 more than the old method's 12.

But these were just small monsters. In fact, in the strategy that Ye Xiu had researched, they could also avoid fighting one large monster.

Boss number 2, Zombie Beryl.

Zombie Beryl moved slowly and had immense strength. Players who were hit by it had a very high chance of being knocked away and infected with the zombie virus, and this zombie virus would be transmitted between players.

It sounded scary, but this Boss wasn't actually that difficult to fight. The transmission of the zombie virus wasn't fast, and the damage wasn't high. As long as the team had a Cleric with decent equipment who could clearly judge who had the virus, they could withstand it. Top-tier experts like Ye Xiu didn't even bring a Cleric, as they were confident that they wouldn't be hit by this slow Boss at all.

Although Zombie Beryl was easy to deal with, it had a lot of health, and it would take a lot of time to wear it down. For a record-breaking team, the only thing they could do was desperately output to reduce the time. But Ye Xiu had researched a way to directly lock Zombie Beryl.

It was just that this method was very difficult. So far, the team had succeeded before, but they had never recorded a one-time success.

However, once successful, the time saved would be extremely significant. Under normal output conditions, it would take at least two minutes to defeat Zombie Beryl. But if they completed the operation conceived by Ye Xiu in one go, it wouldn't take more than 20 seconds.

The super-difficult method sounded very simple, which was that there was a pit in the stone wall not far from here. After sending Zombie Beryl into this pit, it would have no way to climb out.

The difficulty was in doing it.

The pit in the stone wall was a distance from the ground, and the five of them needed to continuously use floating skills to raise Zombie Beryl, so that they could barely send it in.

The first time they arrived at this place to try this, the five of them had failed even after juggling Zombie Beryl to death, simply because the coordination and operation requirements were too high. The timing of each person's jump and attack had to be perfectly connected. If anyone made the slightest mistake, the attempt would fail. Moreover, these could only be grasped by individuals, and Ye Xiu couldn't even remind them in time.

Only by doing this in one go could they achieve the true strongest record.

However, everyone wasn't very confident about this. But even if they succeeded on the second or third try, they could still gain a considerable amount of time in this place, which no ordinary dungeon team could surpass.

Liu Hao liked this place. With his Deception here, he would never allow Ye Qiu's team to succeed in one go. This place was inherently prone to mistakes by anyone. But for a professional team like theirs, completing it in one go wouldn't be much of a challenge.

Seeing Zombie Beryl approaching, Liu Hao secretly calculated in his heart.

"Zombie Beryl is almost here! Everyone, keep it up!" Ye Xiu also spoke at this time.

"Keep it up!" Steamed Bun Invasion roared.

"Strive to succeed within two tries!" Ye Xiu said.

"Succeed in one try!" Tang Rou was even more demanding.

Ye Xiu smiled wryly. How could he not hope to succeed in one try? It was just that this place was too demanding.

"Everyone, pay attention!!" After clearing out the small monsters in front of Zombie Beryl, Ye Xiu said.

Everyone immediately went to their positions.

Because Zombie Beryl moved slowly, it would take some time for it to walk to the stone wall by itself, so players needed to help it, making it roll faster.

"Here we go!!" Ye Xiu's Lord Grim rushed up to aggro the monster, launched it into the air, and blasted it with a Falling Flower Palm. Zombie Beryl flew over.

Soft Mist stabbed out from the side, taking advantage of Zombie Beryl's impending fall, and used a Sky Strike to connect. This was also a Falling Flower Palm.

Steamed Bun Invasion and Deception each used their own methods to step forward and continue the combo. Zombie Beryl was sent over from beginning to end without ever touching the ground. This process was simple, and none of the skilled operators made any mistakes. Poor Zombie Beryl was only a number two Boss, unlike Ice Forest's Ice Knight, who had ways to deal with being continuously juggled.

The last one to connect was Su Mucheng. She kicked Zombie Beryl into the air, and machine-gunned it with the BBQ skill. Zombie Beryl was shot to pieces in the air, its flesh flying everywhere.

If this place could use shot-stunning, then it would be even more likely to solve it in one go. It was a pity that Ye Xiu had repeatedly experimented when using Cleansing Mist, and because of the environment, it was impossible to directly use shot-stunning to send Zombie Beryl into the pit in the air. The shooting angle wasn't enough.

Unfortunately, they could only use this method of five-person coordination to continuously float it in the air.

The BBQ skill ended, and Zombie Beryl fell in mid-air. Steamed Bun Invasion quickly arrived and raised his hand for a hook punch.

Zombie Beryl was hit up again, but Ye Xiu sighed regretfully.

Failed... Steamed Bun Invasion failed on the first hit. Because the team had practiced many times with garbage weapons in this place, Steamed Bun Invasion observed himself after attacking and also said "Oops," realizing that he had messed up.

"Don't stop, continue," Ye Xiu called out.

If they couldn't succeed in one try, then they had to follow up as soon as possible on the second try.

Deception attacked, stepping forward with a Falling Chop. Zombie Beryl, which was hit, tumbled in the air and bounced off the wall.

Perfect execution!

Having experienced Steamed Bun Invasion's mistake, Liu Hao didn't intentionally sabotage this time, because he knew that this wouldn't be a perfect record.

Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist jumped up, and the gun barrel of her hand cannon swung out, using the Gunners's floating skill, "Air Jab," raising Zombie Beryl even higher.

Tang Rou's Soft Mist, who had been in the receiving position just now, also arrived, jumping into the air and performing a Sky Strike. The tip of her spear just happened to cushion Zombie Beryl. This didn't allow Zombie Beryl to continue rising, but it did cause it to pause in the air.

Steamed Bun Invasion, who had just made a mistake, had already leaped high and followed up on Soft Mist's attack with a hook punch. Zombie Beryl rose again, but it had already reached a height that was completely impossible to reach with a normal jump.

A figure flashed past and was already higher than Steamed Bun Invasion, who was already at the highest point.

Lord Grim.

Jumping up, stepping on the stone wall to turn around and jump again. This kind of operation allowed the character to jump even higher.

The previous four had not made any more mistakes. Success or failure was now entirely up to Ye Xiu alone.

Lord Grim's spear steadily delivered, piercing Zombie Beryl, and a beautiful arc was drawn, just enough to smash Zombie Beryl into the pit in the stone wall.

"Success!!" Steamed Bun Invasion shouted excitedly.

"Continue! Don't be careless later." Ye Xiu's voice was still so calm. He landed from the air, and the group continued the next third of the dungeon.

Liu Hao felt a little regret in his heart at this time.

This degree, although not perfect, was not far from perfect. The only extra time was the time lost due to Steamed Bun Invasion's mistake. How much was that? Three seconds, or four seconds?

But could their team succeed in one try? Previously, Liu Hao had never doubted this, because they were a true professional team. But now that he realized the difference might only be three or four seconds, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

"No! It's not just three or four seconds away from perfect! I will conserve my strength throughout the entire dungeon. If I go all out, I can at least grab 15 more seconds. In addition to the professional team's more perfect and smooth performance, the overall record should be able to improve by 30 seconds. Oh, I forgot, there are also Orange Weapons!! This time, the team will also have two Orange Weapons to use... The output will also be greater than the team with only Lord Grim having a Silver Weapon." After carefully calculating all the advantages of his side, Liu Hao finally felt relieved and gave up on deliberately making mistakes in the last third to ruin the record.

The final Boss of the Graveyard finally fell. The performance in the last third of the dungeon could be described as perfect. At the same time, the system announcement was released: Congratulations to Blue Brook Guild players Lord Grim, Cleansing Mist, Steamed Bun Invasion, Soft Mist, and Deception for breaking the Graveyard dungeon record, with a time of 17 minutes, 22 seconds, and 17 milliseconds.
