The people Lan He thought of were naturally Ye Xiu and the others. However, even if they knew that the other party was strong, they couldn't do anything about it. Lan He didn't want to affect the mood of the others. Blue Brook Pavilion's expert team continued to advance. The next two waves of monsters were all under three. With seven people fighting, the pressure wasn't too great. However, in the fourth wave, Flying Brushstroke was sent flying by a Sealed Mountain Bandit's attack. He immediately entered the aggro range of another wave of Sealed Mountain Bandits.
One, two, three, four, five …
However, this new wave had a total of five. After Flying Brushstroke was sent flying, he didn't return. The other six didn't have time to rescue him before Flying Brushstroke died and left the team.
Five. Adding on the four they were already dealing with, there were nine Sealed Mountain Bandits this time, two more than the first wave. As for Blue Brook Pavilion's side? There were only six people left. After a desperate struggle, the six of the nine Sealed Mountain Bandits couldn't hold on any longer. Amidst the chaos of aggro, three of the nine Sealed Mountain Bandits had fallen. The six Blue Brook Pavilion experts, however, had been completely wiped out.
The elites of Blue Brook Pavilion had spent a total of twelve minutes in the newly opened dungeon. This time, compared to the teams that had been swept out as soon as they entered, was still better. Next time, they already knew that they would be facing seven Sealed Mountain Bandits in the first wave. Naturally, they would be fully prepared. This was how dungeon clearing was built up over and over again. However, in Glory, the conditions were harsher. Firstly, if a character died, they would be sent out of the dungeon. There was no way to experience it on the spot. Secondly, there was a limit to the number of times they could enter each day. Sealed Mountain Bandits Hideout was a ten-man dungeon, and each character could only enter once a day. The few from Blue Brook Pavilion had clearly used up their chance for that day.
Just as Blue Brook Pavilion's team had been wiped out, Ye Xiu's Happy team had finished the sixth wave. They had far surpassed Blue Brook Pavilion's progress. Furthermore, the team was complete. This was closely related to Ye Xiu's leadership.
For example, the Blue Brook Pavilion had accidentally lured out nine Sealed Mountain Thieves. Ye Xiu had noticed this potential danger beforehand and warned everyone to be careful. Of course, such a mistake could be avoided.
Ye Xiu had also been observing the uniqueness of the Sealed Mountain Thieves. If he discovered anything, he would tell everyone. The more he fought, the easier it was for him.
After a while, they finally reached the first checkpoint of the Sealed Mountain Thieves Hideout. Naturally, there was a BOSS guarding it: Sealed Mountain Vanguard, Brother Wolf. He didn't know if the name was his real name or just a nickname. Of course, no one cared about this. After all, a name would not affect an NPC's combat power.
Facing such a Boss without any information, of course, they had to be more cautious. The ten of them weren't in a hurry to go forward. Instead, they scanned the surroundings from all angles to make sure that there weren't any elements in the surrounding environment that would cause trouble. Then, they studied the terrain to see if there was anything they could take advantage of. Of course, they had to take a closer look at the Boss. Even though they couldn't check his equipment like they could players, they could more or less determine the Boss' combat class from his equipment and weapons.
After some observation, this Sealed Mountain Vanguard, Brother Wolf, looked quite formidable. On the left side of his waist hung a sword, on the right side of his waist was a pistol, and in his right hand was a two-meter-long spear … In terms of weapons alone, this guy straddled three different professions. Sure enough, he inherited the shameless tradition of BOSSes.
"He probably doesn't know any spells …" Wei Chen spoke up. Brother Wolf looked like a melee genius. He held a spear and chanted spells. This was a trick that only players would do. NPCs were especially loyal to their classes, and they all held weapons that were part of their class.
"Mm. Everyone, keep your distance. I'll probe first. Long-range attacks can provide support when appropriate," Ye Xiu made arrangements.
After Wu Chen observed the terrain, he had already chosen a good spot to attack. For Launchers, who were extremely long-range attackers, it wasn't common for them to need to move around in PVE. Most of the time, they just chose a spot where they could advance and retreat, ensuring that the Launcher could always cover the Boss while the other melee attackers were pulling it.
Chen Guo obviously understood this principle, but she didn't have Wu Chen's confidence. She was already afraid of causing trouble when clearing the mobs, and now she was even more afraid of fighting a Boss. Seeing that Wu Chen's Dawn Rifle had already chosen a spot, Chen Guo didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Ye Xiu's voice floated over at this moment. He pointed at a spot for her to stand, and only then did Chen Guo calm down.
For people like Wei Chen, there was no need for Ye Xiu to worry about them. Seeing that everyone was already in position, Ye Xiu immediately controlled Lord Grim to charge forward.
Brother Wolf's aggro range was quite large, so his reactions were especially sharp. As soon as Lord Grim stepped into the circle, Brother Wolf's body turned halfway around. He immediately raised the spear in his right hand and threw it from such a distance.
Ye Xiu saw it clearly and immediately rolled to the side. When he turned around to look again, he didn't see anything like qi or energy. Brother Wolf had already leveled his spear and was charging towards him.
It turned out that he had just swung his spear and not used a killing move. Ye Xiu had made a small mistake, but it did not affect his mood. Since it was the first time, it was better to make such a mistake than to be killed by the Boss.
Brother Wolf's spear was two meters long. He strode forward and held the end of the spear with one hand. When he got close, he swung it down. This swing wasn't a Battle Mage skill, so it should be considered a normal attack. But an attack from the Boss couldn't be underestimated. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim didn't move to the side to dodge or counterattack. Instead, he directly rolled on the ground. He rolled three times in a row, moving several units away in an instant.
At first glance, this dodge looked too exaggerated. It was as if he had been frightened. But as the spear landed, everyone could see how wise Ye Xiu's decision was. After the Boss' spear hit the ground, it made a muffled sound. Then, a powerful shockwave spread out from the ground. The ground was instantly covered in cracks. If Lord Grim had just moved aside a little, who knew what would happen to him after being hit by the shockwave?
But taking a beating wasn't Ye Xiu's style. After the attack, Lord Grim raised his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. With a bang, an Anti-Tank Missile skill was activated and three missiles flew out.
The BOSS's IQ was much higher than the monsters'. Most of the time, they would use dodging to dodge attacks. At this moment, the three missiles flew over, but Brother Wolf didn't dodge. He swung his spear and was instantly engulfed by the explosion. The missiles were actually swept away.
But at this moment, Lord Grim had already used a Slide Kick. Brother Wolf's spear flew into the air. There was nothing below it. The Slide Kick had finally kicked its target.
Depending on the timing of the Slide Kick, it had a chance of knocking down the target. But Brother Wolf didn't move after taking the Slide Kick. Ye Xiu wasn't surprised. After Lord Grim's Slide Kick, he jumped up. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hands split into two. He held it horizontally across his arms and used a Back Throw on Brother Wolf.
Under the level suppression, even a grab type skill could be resisted. At this moment, Lord Grim was unfortunately met with this resistance. But Ye Xiu's reaction was also godly. He activated the skill and got close. The other side didn't move. He immediately realized that the skill had been resisted. Without another word, he gave up on the attack and dodged.
Brother Wolf's reaction didn't disgrace his reputation as a Boss. He pushed out a palm with a Slide Step. It was the Battle Mage's Falling Flower Palm. This Brother Wolf wielded a spear. Sure enough, he knew some Battle Mage techniques.
Brother Wolf's Falling Flower Palm had a large AOE. It looked like Lord Grim wouldn't be able to dodge it. At this moment, a white light fell. It was An Wenyi's Little Cold Hands, who had prepared a healing skill beforehand.
Everyone inwardly praised An Wenyi for grasping the perfect timing. But who would have thought that Brother Wolf's Falling Flower Palm wouldn't hit Lord Grim. As soon as he got close, he realized that something was wrong and immediately retreated. Ye Xiu's super fast reaction allowed him to completely dodge Brother Wolf's counterattack. An Wenyi's seemingly perfect healing could be said to be an error in judgment … …
Clearly, in terms of judgment, An Wenyi couldn't compare to Ye Xiu.
After dodging the attack, Lord Grim changed directions and circled around to Brother Wolf's side to attack. A Level 70 character and a Level 75 dungeon boss were locked in a one on one battle. Any other normal player would have been shocked enough to eat a mouse, but Happy and the others weren't surprised. Even Chen Guo was able to maintain her composure.
After exchanging a few blows, everyone could see that even Ye Xiu was having a hard time. Little Icy Cold Hands also had a few chances to use his healing skills after this.
But as they fought, Ye Xiu gradually familiarized himself with Brother Wolf's specialties. After observing for a while, Wei Chen and Wu Chen also began to provide support. Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash was no longer in his original position. Instead, he went up to support the battle with Ghost Boundaries.
Baozi's Bao Ozi's Invasion had also pulled himself to a Brawler's mid-range attack range. Brick in hand, he circled around Brother Wolf, looking for the back of his head. It wasn't easy for him to succeed, but before he could cheer, Brother Wolf had already recovered from the dizziness. Bosses already had system-subsidized resistances, and now there was the level suppression. Although this type of CC skill could still have an effect, it was too short. It couldn't do much damage. At most, it could interrupt the opponent's attacks.
"Okay, it's about time. Everyone, get ready. Pay attention to my instructions. When I say disperse, find a direction to retreat in at least four units away. Move quickly, "Ye Xiu instructed.
"Understood." Everyone responded. The impatient Tang Rou immediately ordered Han Yanrou to charge forward. But Mo Fan's Deception was even faster than her. Arrows flew out, and in an instant, several consecutive attacks landed on Brother Wolf.
