Hu Die Lan
Chapter 870 Chain of Hatred
Ye Xiu had just stopped Soft Mist from running too far, so of course he could only do the same. Controlling two Gunners was a bit difficult. At this distance, the only skill that could directly drag them over was the Qigong Master's "Grasping Clouds," but Team Happy didn't have that class. That skill was obtained after the class change, so the unspecialized Lord Grim and the Brawler Steamed Bun Invasion couldn't possibly have it.
In this situation, they could only rely on the attack effects of other skills to achieve the desired result. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim jumped high while advancing, and with a wave of his hand, a grenade was thrown. An arc was drawn, and the grenade landed right behind the two Gunners.
Boom!
In the explosion, the airwave surged, pushing the two Gunners forward. At the same time, Lord Grim's Falling Light Blade landed, and the other three blade-wielding melee Bandit Lairs were knocked to the ground.
Ye Xiu was very satisfied with the courage of the NPCs. If these were players, they would easily dodge a grenade thrown from such a long distance. Only NPCs would be so dull-headed as to ignore the skill and take the damage head-on. As the level cap changed, these basic characteristics of NPCs would remain the same. Those who particularly paid attention to dodging damage were high-level NPCs, commonly known as Bosses.
The grenade pushed the two Gunners closer, but after all, the skill's power was small. But at that moment, a missile spewing flames had already descended from the sky, and the landing point was right behind the two Gunner Bandit Lairs.
Boom!
This time, the commotion was much bigger than the grenade. The mushroom cloud that surged upward rose toward the clouds, and if these two Gunners weren't directly blown in front of Lord Grim, it would be a real letdown.
"Well done!"
The MT, busy as he was, didn't forget to give a thumbs-up to someone behind him.
Chen Guo was so envious! How great it would be if she had such skill. But unfortunately, she didn't have the ability to guide a Heat-Seeking Missile to the desired location in such a short time. The one who had just accomplished this was Wu Chen, who had recently joined Happy. Wu Chen's level wasn't considered first-tier in the pro scene, but his foundation was quite solid. However, what Chen Guo liked even more was that after this brother arrived, he basically didn't rush to discuss salary issues, and like the others, he just vaguely settled for a makeshift arrangement. What a great group of employees! Chen Guo couldn't help but think like this sometimes.
"First see my attack target, don't mess up the aggro," Ye Xiu called out loudly. After all, his unspecialized character wasn't a Knight, and didn't have the attribute of generating a lot of aggro. So pulling the monsters only relied on output. Therefore, the requirements for cooperation from others were also higher. If the output classes only focused on their own convenience, the aggro would soon be messed up.
Of the people present, Wei Chen, Qiao Yifan, and Wu Chen certainly didn't need to worry. Steamed Bun and Tang Rou had been mixing with Ye Xiu for a long time, were familiar with Lord Grim's MT mode, and wouldn't make mistakes. Little Cold Hands was a healer, so there was no way he could accidentally heal the monsters. Then there was Chen Guo, Luo Ji, and Mo Fan.
Chen Guo had considerable gaming experience, and was especially self-aware. She knew that her skill level in this team might not be helpful, and it would be good enough if she wasn't a burden. So when faced with some chaotic situations, she would rather not act than make a mess. At this time, a melee was going on over there, and she couldn't align Chasing Haze with the target she should be attacking, so she simply became a spectator.
As for Luo Ji, if he really summoned all his summons as he usually liked, then the team killer at this time would definitely be him. But fortunately, Ye Xiu had reminded him in advance, and with only four summons, Luo Ji could definitely control them properly.
So it seemed that the problem was with Mo Fan. This guy actually directly used the Ninja ultimate skill Shadow Dance. This skill had always been regarded as a group attack and interference skill. Now that it was used, wasn't it the trump card for messing up aggro?
Chen Guo got anxious at the sight of this, and jumped up and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Not in the game, but outside the game, Chen Guo was already glaring at Mo Fan. She could tolerate Mo Fan's usual behavior. Because although he hadn't given any help, he wasn't a burden either. He just ate and lived there every day, and Chen Guo wouldn't care about these small things. She knew Ye Xiu's intention, which was to let Mo Fan truly join in through this gradual contact and life. But right now, at this crucial moment, this Mo Fan actually wasn't listening to instructions and acted according to his own intentions. This was a bit beyond Chen Guo's bottom line.
"Calm down!" In the end, Mo Fan ignored her, but Ye Xiu's voice came over.
"This guy..."
"It's okay," Ye Xiu interrupted Chen Guo, signaling her to look at the screen.
Chen Guo took a look, and was stunned.
After Mo Fan's Deception's Shadow Dance, there were indeed countless shadow clones everywhere. But the aggro hadn't been messed up at all. Because his Shadow Dance was operated very well, and the target he was attacking at this time was the one that everyone was focusing on, not attacking whichever one he bumped into as Chen Guo thought.
"This guy..." Chen Guo knew that she had wronged Mo Fan, but considering that guy's usual indifference to everything, she should skip apologizing to him! But after sitting down again, Chen Guo still muttered as if she was talking to Ye Xiu, "I wronged him."
"It's not entirely that. This guy still wants to cause some trouble," Ye Xiu said.
"What!"
"He wants to steal the aggro!" Ye Xiu said nonchalantly. Through the game's voice system, everyone could hear this, of course.
"Don't mess around," Wei Chen said with some dissatisfaction after hearing this.
"Hehe, you have to ask me if you want to mess around!" Ye Xiu said, and his hands kept operating. Chen Guo stole a glance at Mo Fan over there, and his expression was also particularly serious. This kid was probably still brooding over Ye Xiu's torment back then. Stealing aggro was just to surpass Ye Xiu, and as for the chaos that this would cause, this kid probably didn't care about it at all. Did he even have such a thing as team spirit in his heart?
Chen Guo wasn't interfering much anyway, and was just slacking off to her heart's content. It wasn't so easy for Ye Xiu to use Lord Grim as the MT either. The 5-level level suppression meant that the attack effects of various skills often couldn't achieve the expected results, and he was pulling a total of seven monsters at once, so he definitely couldn't just tank the damage. In a real ten-player dungeon, when pulling so many monsters, it would definitely require the main MT and the off-tank to work together. Now, Lord Grim wasn't an MT class, but he had to tank seven, which was entirely Ye Xiu accomplishing it with his skills.
"Don't just focus on attacking, pay more attention to the characteristics of these Bandit Lairs," Ye Xiu said while busy.
The NPC monsters in the dungeon couldn't be varied. They were basically just a few types, and then they appeared repeatedly. So this first wave of battle was the most difficult. Only this battle unfolded in complete unknown. After this battle, the understanding of the new dungeon and new monsters began to accumulate gradually, so it naturally became smoother and smoother.
The melee with these seven Bandit Lairs lasted for three minutes. After Ye Xiu controlled the rhythm well, old guys with enough experience like Wei Chen didn't strictly follow the arrangements. He also began to use a style of play that was more suitable for his class, thereby reducing the burden on the team. The first wave of battle ended smoothly. They were just small monsters, so there was no need to talk about feelings. The consumption was neither too much nor too little. After making slight adjustments, the team continued to move forward along the road into the stronghold.
At the same time, those organized by guilds, those who were friends of players, or those who were bored and came to sightsee. In the Bandit Lair dungeon, without exception, they all fell on the seven monsters that chained aggro as soon as they entered.
It couldn't be said that they were all wiped out. But it was really a bit difficult for players to pass this stage completely unharmed like Team Happy.
Take Blue Brook Guild as an example. Their most elite members, led by Guild Leader Chun Yi Lao, personally came to explore this dungeon.
There was a level suppression of 5 levels. Exploring a ten-player dungeon was the limit. Trying dungeons with higher player requirements was a bit too disrespectful to the system. As for the top-tier hundred-player dungeons, there was no need to mention them. Even now, their big guild teams didn't dare to say that they would definitely pass a level 70 hundred-player dungeon. Getting ninety or more people out of a hundred who went in was already considered a very good record.
Right now, facing seven level 75 dungeon monsters while suppressed by five levels, the top guild elite group gathered by Blue Brook Guild's five great experts had only managed to eliminate these seven monsters at the cost of two members being killed.
"The pressure is so great..." After the battle ended, Ru Ye Han said with lingering fear.
"We definitely can't get through, right?" Bi Yan Fei said.
"Get through? If it's still like this below, it's hard to say whether we can even see a Boss," Ru Ye Han said.
"Let's sightsee..." Bi Yan Fei was depressed. The two great experts of Blue Brook Guild had lost their fighting spirit at this time. Of course, this couldn't be blamed on them. Challenging a ten-player dungeon with a five-level gap, they had long been mentally prepared for this. But they also thought that they would be wiped out by a Boss they didn't understand. Leveling up with small monsters was still possible, but they didn't expect to be defeated by the first wave of small monsters.
"Probably only professional players can clear the ten-player dungeon right now," Ru Ye Han said.
"At this time, there shouldn't be any professional players still online, right?" Bi Yan Fei said. Although they could see that the Blue Brook Guild, whether it was Sorcerer or Troubling Rain or Cloud Piercer or Soul Speaker, all these team characters were online at this time, they were clear that these characters couldn't possibly be controlled by the actual players. The account cards had already been handed over to the guild department, and they had all been leveled up by substitutes these days. And at this time, wanting to pursue the speed of leveling up, running to the new area was certainly not a wise choice. These professional characters from Team Blue Rain were all staying in the original area, farming level 70 dungeons.
They were originally level 70 characters, so farming level 70 dungeons of course gave experience. Pursuing rapid leveling was the current kingly way. All the characters of the professional teams were sweeping level 70 dungeons to level up at this time. In these 11 days, these characters would only use the most efficient leveling methods to level up first.
"Then there definitely won't be any teams completing any first kills tonight, right?" Just as Ru Ye Han finished speaking, Lan He in the team immediately thought of someone... Was he leveling up or farming dungeons?
