Chapter 171 Team Strength

Lan He was stunned by Ye Xiu’s words. He recalled when he first interacted with Lord Grim in the tenth server. At that time, he didn't know that the other party was a pro. They had dungeon-crawling experiences together. How did the pro do in the small five-man team? Looking back now, Lan He realized that their technology shocked them beyond words. The problem was that although the level was high, there was no problem with their cooperation. Because of his existence, Blue Brook Guild’s five-man team immediately set a particularly fierce dungeon record. This record was definitely not because there was a high-level player charging and rampaging in the team, but because the existence of this high-level player improved the entire team’s combat level.

Lan He was lost in thought, but Lu Hanwen expressed his approval of what Ye Xiu said: “What you said makes a lot of sense, senior!”

“That’s for sure.” When Ye Xiu said this, who would have thought that his Wudao Jun was actually being forced to roll on the ground by Lu Hanwen’s Liuyun. A cleric fighting a swordsman in close combat? Lu Hanwen wasn’t a noob!

However, the embarrassment Lu Hanwen forced out was only for a few brief moments. Ye Xiu's Wudao Jun wasn't standing there alone! The others around him had already come to protect him.

It was just that these people weren’t from the elite team, and it was really difficult for them to fight Lu Hanwen. In three or two moves, the three people who rushed up had already been blown away by Lu Hanwen using skills with knockback effects. Another one was floating in the air, and then a sword was slashed down, turning him into Lu Hanwen’s cannonball towards Wudao Jun.

Taking advantage of this cover, Ye Xiu’s Wudao Jun had retreated a lot, while still fulfilling his healing duties. However, it wasn’t enough to resist Lu Hanwen’s attack with just two or three characters and a cleric to heal them. These ordinary players couldn’t limit Lu Hanwen’s Liuyun at all. He easily dealt with them in a few strokes, as if they didn't exist.

“Map bombing!” Around Wudao Jun were many ranged classes. They obviously weren’t suitable to come up and fight Lu Hanwen’s swordsman head-on. With a call from Ye Xiu, these ranged classes used area-of-effect attacks. Lu Hanwen also used a Shadow Steps immediately, splitting his character into six. Even Ye Xiu couldn’t tell the real from the fake right away, let alone the others, who guessed randomly and bombed the place, regardless of whether it was the real body or a fake one, trying to bomb as many skills as possible.

The attacks were like a carpet covering the ground. The ultimate effect of Shadow Steps was to make the firepower of the map attacks more dispersed, so as to avoid overlapping damage and causing Liuyun to die on the spot. However, under such coverage, the real and fake bodies of Shadow Steps had been completely exposed in Ye Xiu’s eyes. Although all six were pretending to rush towards Wudao Jun, it was very clear which one was the real body. When Liuyun rushed out, Wudao Jun was already a distant existence to him. A Holy Light of Law descended, although it didn’t hit the real body, it pointed out the direction for the map attacks. Map attacks didn’t need too precise positioning anyway.

“Look, this is the power of teamwork!” Amidst Ye Xiu’s voice, there was another wave of map bombing. Skills from an unknown number of players were thrown at this place. Lu Hanwen had tried his best to escape this range, but it was still not enough. Not all of them needed to hit. Just some of the skills were enough. At this time, Liuyun couldn’t hold on any longer and finally fell.

Wudao Jun walked over, casually picked up the equipment dropped by Liuyun, and looked around the field, “Where’s that someone?”

That someone referred to Lan He’s Lanqiao Chunxue. Even Lu Hanwen couldn’t withstand such map bombardment, let alone Lan He. His Lanqiao Chunxue fell even earlier than Lu Hanwen’s Liuyun.

“Interference cleared, continue to kill the Boss!”

All firepower turned back to Red Turban Hanja. Tyrannical Ambition was also desperately using all the attacks they could to increase their aggro. Zhang Xinjie observed Red Turban Hanja’s health and felt that the difference between the two sides wasn’t very big. Currently, Ye Qiu’s side had the advantage, controlling the Boss’s aggro to increase rapidly, but Tyrannical Ambition also had a good foundation. They continued to maintain their output to ensure the growth of their aggro. Although they couldn’t surpass the other side, at least they wouldn’t be left too far behind. When Red Turban Hanja entered berserk mode with low health, the berserk ultimate move would reshuffle the situation. Perhaps they could win a turning point with the last 10% of his health.

While Zhang Xinjie directed the team, he had already begun to lay out the final winning move. Red Turban Hanja’s health decreased rapidly. Finally, it was only a hair’s breadth away from the 10% berserk health line. The formation around him was obviously beginning to loosen. The players focused here were already preparing to evacuate, just waiting for the final order.

“Withdraw!” The order from Ye Xiu was finally issued. The players who were originally surrounding Red Turban Hanja immediately ran away. Of course, the people from Tyrannical Ambition wouldn’t rush forward at this time. Their people were also retreating beyond the safety line. However, they stopped at the line of danger. This was Zhang Xinjie’s arrangement. Their people were originally on the outer circle, and now they were compressed here, trying to compress the opponent’s evasion space.

Don’t mention it, this actually worked. A knight from the four guilds rushed towards them in a panic. He saw a row of Tyrannical Ambition people guarding the line and wouldn’t let him pass. They wouldn’t directly kill him, just waiting to see him make a fool of himself. Who would have thought that Zhang Xinjie would suddenly realize something when he glanced at this knight?

“Not good!!” The rigorous and disciplined Zhang Xinjie rarely blurted out such emotions directly, but now he shouted it out.

“Kill that knight!!” Zhang Xinjie shouted anxiously. At this time, he deeply hated that he was just a cleric. Why couldn’t he be a profession with a very strong attack, so that he could rush up and beat this knight flat as soon as possible.

While Zhang Xinjie was anxiously giving instructions, the knight had already turned his back and stretched out his arm, making an insulting gesture towards Red Turban Hanja.

Provoke!

Everyone instantly understood that the other party was too despicable, letting this knight bring Red Turban Hanja over was like rolling in a human bomb!

And this knight had obviously made full preparations. Knight’s Spirit was already activated when he used Provoke, followed by a Heroic Leap, jumping directly into Tyrannical Ambition’s formation at an extremely fast speed. Ordinary players couldn’t react to such a rapid change of position. While they were scrambling to find the knight’s landing point, Red Turban Hanja had already rushed over rapidly. The Boss’s movement speed was never slow.

“Knights, brush him away!” At this time, Zhang Xinjie had to use suicide tactics. However, he had thought of a feasible plan, but what about the execution? The operators, who were only at the level of online game players, were not enough to cope with this situation. When the knight rushed out to sacrifice himself in a daze, the four guilds had already given the order. All the ranged attackers fired at the same time. Red Turban Hanja’s health instantly dropped below the 10% health line. The absolute berserk state was triggered, directly starting with a big move. Where could Tyrannical Ambition escape at this time? When Red Turban Hanja smashed down with both fists, the player characters floating in mid-air were densely packed, along with the swirling energy, along with the earth crust that had been flipped over once, shattered together...

Zhang Xinjie’s Wangshan Yunwu didn’t die, but he knew that everything was over. The damage was too great, and they were no longer able to face the competition from the four guilds.

At the end of the ultimate move, on the ground full of scars, Zhang Xinjie saw Wudao Jun over there at a glance, standing there very conspicuously. As if he saw Zhang Xinjie’s character’s perspective facing this way, Wudao Jun raised his arm, as if waving at him, obviously a useless action that players used to make their characters pose.

“Thanks, Vice-Captain Zhang, say hello to Old Han for me!” Ye Xiu’s voice came.

With everything already settled, Zhang Xinjie quickly sorted out his mood and even replied, “You’re welcome.”

After that, Tyrannical Ambition’s players withdrew. They didn’t make any more struggles, nor did they take any retaliatory actions because of this. Tyrannical Ambition had officially withdrawn from this battle for Red Turban Hanja.

In the berserk state of low health, the Boss would have a continuous increase in attributes, and there would also be a chance to use big moves again. However, if such a perverted big move wasn’t given a warning to players and came out without a word, it would be deliberately making things difficult and not letting players have a good time. In addition to active triggering and blood-red triggering conditions, the activation of big moves in the low-health state would leave players with a basis for judgment and time to avoid. Without any interference, the four guilds killed this low-health Boss smoothly. When everything was dropped all over the ground, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, they thought that two Bosses would refresh at the same time, and they chose level 55, which they would definitely be able to handle easily. Who would have thought that Zhang Xinjie, whom they were most afraid of now, would also run over here. Fortunately, they finally won this time, but it was also a difficult victory. The four guilds each counted their casualties and losses, and they were also full of sighs.

“Pro, what do you need? Take a look first.” Zhan Loulan didn’t forget this matter. They would look for level 55 Bosses because of their needs. At this time, after picking up all the items, they sent them to the discussion group for Ye Xiu to look at first.

“Then I won’t be polite.” The only material Ye Xiu urgently needed at the moment was one that he had already seen in the dropped materials. Naturally, he pointed it out first.

The other four guild leaders saw that Iron Float Phosphorus wasn’t anything particularly special, just one of the many rare materials. Naturally, there wouldn’t be any entanglement. They let Ye Xiu take this material first. Then, using this as a starting point, they skillfully divided the materials according to their principles.

After finishing all this, they gathered the team and discussed the matter.

“So, Zhang Xinjie is really determined to come and farm materials every day?” Zhan Loulan said.

“Alas, there’s no other way! Fortunately, it’s only these two months.” Wu Jinzhi said. After all, Zhang Xinjie was a professional player. Once the professional league started, he would no longer have the energy to devote himself to the game and snatch Bosses like this.

“Pro, what do you think?” Zhan Loulan asked Ye Xiu at this time, but when he looked left and right, Wudao Jun was gone.

Then, he opened his friend list and saw that Wudao Jun was offline. Lord Grim, who hadn’t been seen for a long time, was now logged in. The level 55 upgrade of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had finally gathered all the materials. And this step of the upgrade was all Ye Xiu’s own exploration, without any practical experience, just like the Death’s Hand, it only existed in theory. Although Ye Xiu had also paid attention to all the details, the complexity of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was not comparable to the Death’s Hand after all. Whether it could succeed in one go, Ye Xiu didn’t have a definite grasp in his heart at this time.
