After the group expressed that they weren't afraid of death, they valiantly rushed towards the Icy Cave.
There was a saying in online games: don't be afraid of god-like opponents, but be afraid of pig-like teammates.
Although this was the first time they had formed a party, and Ye Ci knew that they couldn't rely on teamwork, she was already on the verge of breaking down after fighting two monsters.
Of the four party members, only Little Grouper Fish seemed to have some gaming experience, but she only knew how to stand still and cast Fireball.
One Blade acted as if he was the main tank and rushed up to tank the monsters. Icy Cold Little Hands did not heal and only stood together with Stone Slab and Little Fish to cast Lightning Orbs. Little Icy Cold Hands went up to attack the monsters, but he did not pull aggro and his attacks always missed …
If Ye Ci didn't take care of the two monsters herself, they would probably be lying on the ground by now.
"This won't do, our equipment isn't good enough. If this goes on, we'll die." The four of them sat down to recover their health and mana. Little Cold Little Hands sighed, as if he wanted to give up.
"It's only two monsters, don't say such discouraging words." Cold Little Hands immediately glared at him. Little Cold Little Hands lowered his head and continued to eat his biscuit without saying anything.
Little Grouper Fish looked at them and said slowly, "Who's going to be the commander?"
Little Cold Little Cold Little Hands immediately shook his head, "I'll listen to you, I'll definitely listen to you."
Little Cold Little Hands wanted to raise his hand to command, but in the end, he didn't raise it.
Seeing them like this, Ye Ci slowly said, "If you guys don't mind, how about I take command?"
Ye Ci's damage was obvious. Although it was only two monsters that entered the cave, she was the only one in the party who didn't make any mistakes. They looked at each other, and finally nodded in agreement.
"I've been to the normal version of this dungeon a few times, and I've also seen the hard version with others. There won't be any problems. You just have to listen to me and do as I say. "Ye Ci looked at their doubtful expressions and added.
The four of them had no objections.
Ye Ci began to point out the problem she had just seen, "Little Cold Hands, you're a Warrior, an MT (Main Tank, a necessary role in a dungeon). If you want to tank the monsters, use Taunt. Once the Taunt's cooldown is up, use it immediately. You have to remember this. Don't let one sword tank the monster, he's a melee attacker, he's the second tank (the second backup tank, the main tank after the main tank dies). "
"Okay, I got it." Little Icy Cold Hands immediately patted his chest and promised.
"A Blade, you deal damage. Just follow Little Cold Hands, but don't OT (When a monster's aggro towards the damage dealer exceeds its aggro towards the main tank, it's called OT)."
One Blade nodded with a serious expression.
"Cold Little Hands, you're a healer, not a DPS (damage output class). Your main job is to heal the MT. Also, pay attention to One Blade and the others."
Cold Little Hands frowned, looking a little worried, "But my damage output is better …"
"We don't need that much damage output in this dungeon, we need a healer." Ye Ci was quite patient. She only smiled at Cold Little Hands' suggestion.
Cold Little Hands wanted to protest, but under the watchful eyes of the group, she nodded, "Okay, I'll heal."
In the end, Ye Ci shifted her gaze to Little Grouper Fish, "Little Grouper Fish, have you learned Mobile Cast?" She only asked one question.
"No, I don't have enough money." The mention of this poked at his sore spot. The corner of his eyes twitched a few times.
Ye Ci didn't say anything else. She understood this pain. At Level 8, players could learn Mobile Cast. This was a passive skill that every Mage had to learn. It was also the only passive skill that could be learned from a Skill Master.
However, 80% of Mages wouldn't learn this skill at Level 8. There was no other reason other than the fact that it was too expensive!
Ye Ci recalled the time when she saw the price of learning Mobile Cast. Not only did the corner of her eyes twitch, but even the flesh on her body also started to tremble.
It actually cost 20 gold coins!!
For a newbie in the Beginner's Village, this was an unimaginable amount of wealth!
After assigning the tasks to the group, they continued to fight.
Although it was the Hard Mode of Icy Cave, it was still a small Preparatory Mode dungeon. It wasn't that difficult. Although there were three newbies in the group, they were very obedient. They completed the tasks that Ye Ci gave them very well.
With someone tanking the monsters, Ye Ci was too lazy to jump up and down. She stood at the back of the group and attacked with Little Grouper Fish.
The most relaxed one was probably Ol 'Three. It just wagged its tail and acted cute behind Ye Ci. From time to time, it would wander here and there. When the time was right, it even had to feed Ye Ci some meat.
It wasn't that Ye Ci forgot about Ol 'Three's existence. She mainly wanted Ol' Three to increase its loyalty so that it could tank the boss later.
The EXP from the Hard Mode dungeon was more substantial than the Normal Mode dungeon. Before they had even cleared half of the dungeon, Ol 'Three had already reached Level 5. Its loyalty to Ye Ci had also increased from 12 to 23 points.
Soon, the group reached the boss, Shator.
The entire dungeon wasn't much different from the Normal Mode dungeon. The only difference was that in the Normal Mode, the three bosses didn't work together. In the Hard Mode, all three bosses worked together. Not only that, but the rat-headed boss also brought along an Elite Spider.
This dungeon mainly tested the players' DPS. If their DPS was slightly lower, a rat-headed boss and a spider would be enough to wipe out the entire group.
Last time, Ol 'Three died because the spider was spitting poison from the side.
"I'll make the arrangements. Later, Little Cold Hands will tank the rat-headed boss and the spider. Remember to pull the spider and rat-headed boss with their backs facing the DPS. Cold Little Hands, you'll be responsible for healing Little Cold Hands. Make sure the tank doesn't fall. A Blade, you'll deal damage behind the rat-headed boss. Don't stand together with Little Cold Hands. Don't increase the pressure on the healers. In a while, focus fire on the spider. Kill it first, then go after the rat-headed boss. "
The four nodded, then asked in unison, "What about you?"
Ye Ci smiled and pointed at the kobold and Shator, "I'll pull their aggro first. After you guys kill the rat-headed boss and the spider, focus fire on the kobold and the boss. Do you understand what I'm saying? "
Although the four of them understood, they still had doubts in their hearts. A Huntress dared to say that she would pull the boss? Wasn't she a little too arrogant?
Pull the monsters.
Everything went according to plan. Little Cold Hands and Ye Ci rushed towards the three bosses at the same time. Little Cold Hands used Taunt on the rat-headed boss and the spider, successfully pulling the aggro of the two monsters to himself. He then turned around and threw the monsters' backs to Little Grouper Fish, A Blade and Cold Little Hands.
Ye Ci then released Ol 'Three and had it attack the kobold. Ol 'Three used Taunt to pull the kobold's aggro. Ye Ci threw a Hunter's Mark on Shator's head and immediately shot a Viper Needle.
Critical hit! -210!
Ye Ci thought that she would need to shoot a few more arrows to pull Shator's aggro, but the first arrow was a critical hit. In an instant, Shator's aggro towards Ye Ci rose to 200%. It charged towards her with red eyes. As it charged, it spat out a breath towards Ye Ci.
This was one of Shator's skills, Frost Mist. Players who were hit by it would be inflicted with a Freeze debuff (negative attribute), reducing the player's movement speed by 50% for 10 seconds.
Generally, any player that was hit by the Freeze Effect would be dead for sure. Generally, any player that was kited by the Freeze Effect would be wiped out.
Frost Mist's channeling time was 1.5 seconds. The moment Ye Ci saw Shator's channeling time, she kicked off the side of the mountain and used the inertia to launch herself into the air. The Frost Mist brushed past her shoes. She nimbly turned around in the air and shot a Viper Needle at Shator's head.
Another critical hit! -221!
The whole movement was done in one go, clean and efficient.
Cold Little Hands and Little Grouper Fish happened to be facing Ye Ci's angle. They watched Ye Ci's movements in a daze. They even forgot what they were supposed to do. They hugged their staffs and watched as Ye Ci kited Shator.
Ye Ci observed the situation of the party while kiting Shator. Suddenly, she noticed that Little Cold Little Hands's HP was dropping rapidly. She then noticed that Little Cold Little Hands and Little Grouper Fish were staring at her in a daze. She quickly shouted, "Cold Little Hands! Main Tank's HP! Little Grouper Fish, quickly attack! "
The two of them finally realized what was going on. They hurriedly started healing and attacking!
Little Cold Little Hands was so scared that his face turned pale when he saw that his HP was rising again. Due to the delay, no matter how hard Cold Little Hands tried, Little Cold Little Hands' HP bar was hovering between 5% and 40%. Little Cold Little Hands' heart was pounding along with his HP bar. He was sweating profusely.
Seeing that the party had stabilized, Ye Ci continued to kite Shator without any pressure. She also healed Ol 'Three at the same time.
Finally, the rat-headed man and the spider fell. The dungeon was basically no longer difficult.
The four of them were agitated by Ye Ci's skills. They immediately pounced on the rat-headed man like poisonous snakes and gave it a good beating. In a few minutes, it was reunited with the cynocephali.
Following that, the party rushed towards Shator. At this time, Shator's HP was already at 30% after being kited by Ye Ci. The party rushed over and after a few rounds, Shator fell to the ground in less than ten minutes.
As the party leader, Little Cold Little Hands received a system notification the moment Shator fell. [Your party has achieved the World's First Clear in Icy Cave on Hard Mode. Do you agree to announce the names of your party members?]
First Clear! First Clear!
Little Cold Little Cold Hands rubbed his hands excitedly. He immediately turned his head to ask Ye Ci for her opinion. After the battle just now, Ye Ci's position in his heart had changed from an unreliable Hunter to an expert player!
