"That feels good. Do we still play?" It wasn't that Mowang Feng hadn't gotten two chicken dinners in a row like this before, but it had never been this good, especially with the number of kills in the second round. The four of them had killed almost half of the players in the game.
"No, I'm going to go do an Instance Dungeon. We'll play next time," Lu Li shook his head and refused.
Survival and Escape could only be used as a hobby, or to play with Water Fairy. It wasn't really possible to use it to increase the popularity of the club or simply to make money.
The most direct way to make money was to bring people to win chicken dinners. The low-level rounds weren't difficult at all. Middle-level experts could easily bring three dummies, but the high-level rounds were very difficult. They would be exhausted and the money they earned wouldn't be much. If they had a few thousand dollars, they would be considered rich.
Lu Li didn't rush to say anything to Innocent Child. He felt that there was no need, as long as everyone knew what was going on.
If they really wanted to talk, it would be when the time was right.
When Lu Li returned to the team, the team was at a crucial moment. Sky Moon was commanding the fourth group. The composition of the fourth group was the most complicated. Ruling Sword's people only made up a small proportion. They were basically the core elites of Drizzle Court and Peerless City.
Through Sky Moon's perspective, Lu Li could see that the Boss only had 4% HP left.
4% wasn't much. Let alone 4%, even 1% had happened two or three times. Sky Moon had commanded this group of "rabble", and the best result they had ever achieved was 2%.
Lu Li watched for a moment and felt that there was no more suspense in this battle.
First of all, they had used up too many potions. Those with short cooldowns were fine, but those with long cooldowns were left to the last minute.
Also, in terms of the retention of the players, Sky Moon's view of the big picture was slightly lacking.
However, one thing was for sure. This person had the ability to command. As long as he had enough time, like three to five weeks, there was still hope for him to defeat the little Red Dragon.
After a while, just as Lu Li expected, the team was wiped at 2% HP.
As the Boss's level increased, even 1% of its HP was still a lot. It required enough manpower, potions, and methods to survive.
"Alright, everyone, get some rest. Let's all go eat. We'll go online in an hour." Lu Li did not continue. There was only one afternoon left before the Dragon Slayer's Roar. If they still could not beat it, they could only prepare to fight a little Red Dragon for three to five weeks.
By the time everyone had rested and logged back into the game, Lu Li had already finished his preparations.
First was the potions. He had almost emptied Liang Bing's stock of top-grade potions. As long as he could use them, he took them all. That bag of potions was worth at least hundreds of thousands.
Next, he analyzed the composition of the troops with a few commanders.
The next battle would not be fought by the first team, nor would the other teams. Instead, the most elite players from the four teams with the highest damage output would be selected. This was because the Red Dragon Essence's duration was limited. Only when their damage output reached a certain standard would they have a chance of winning the battle.
The five strongest Thieves in God's Domain. These five Thieves were always at the top of the DPS charts in every battle.
Then, it was the Berserkers, who were also the strongest.
Finally, it was the Main Tank and Healer. Wander was excluded from the new team. As a Defensive Paladin, he could not pull the little Red Dragon at all. This Boss was basically immune to all Taunt skills. Only the Warriors' Heroic Strike and Sunder Armor could quickly accumulate enough Aggro.
Therefore, this team was basically the world of Warriors.
In addition to the Thieves, the main damage output was the Berserkers. There was also a group of Warriors and Main Tanks. The number of Mages and Warlocks was reduced to the minimum.
Other than a few Paladins and Priests, there were very few Shamans and Druids. A Shaman like Sakura Memories, who was a damage output Shaman, naturally improved the Instance Dungeon.
Those who were selected were naturally happy. Only those who were not selected knew how they felt. Some people's classes were not suitable, which was fine. Some people's damage output or healing were not good enough, or they made too many mistakes. This time, Lu Li was very clear. It was all based on the data.
Even Canmeng and Xiaoba Jiang had entered the team based on their own abilities.
Remnant Dream had quite a few physical skills, and her pet could also enjoy the Dragon Slayer's Roar buff, so her damage output was always at the top. As for other positioning and so on, as a fixed member of the First Clear team, even a pig would be familiar with it after practicing for so long.
Xiaoba Jiang was even more amazing. Her equipment was very powerful. It was already good enough for others to have one Epic piece of equipment, but now, she had Epic equipment all over her body.
Moreover, she had Enhanced Tranquility and could use Resurrection twice in a row.
Compared to Canmeng, who could play dead and escape, Xiaoba Jiang's Bear Transformation was not weak at all. The little white bear that she turned into had very high HP. It was not inferior to a Bear Tank that focused on Constitution. Although it could not last for long, it could at least withstand one attack from the Boss, which was already very good.
As a support healer, there was no one more suitable than Xiaoba Jiang.
"Although everyone has been chosen, this does not mean that you will definitely be able to follow me to get the First Clear. I plan to use three chances to test whether the people in the team are qualified. If they are not, I will replace them with someone from outside. Everyone, do your best," said Lu Li.
In fact, the reorganized team needed to practice their teamwork.
The three tests of the team was actually using three battles to get to know each other. There was no difference in the nature of the test, but the way it was said was different.
This was the art of speaking. Lu Li had learned it when he was listening in at school. If it was said to get to know each other, the people here would probably relax and lose that sense of urgency. If it was another way of saying it was a test of the team, everyone would be more alert.
In fact, Lu Li hoped that they could defeat the Boss on the second or third try. He did not necessarily have to wait for the so-called last time.
There was no such thing as a last time.
No matter how many times it was, as long as the Boss was defeated, it would be the last time.
"It's too late, friends. Nefarian's corrupted power has already taken effect. I can't … control myself." It was a line that everyone was almost tired of hearing. It was full of pity, but this kind of sympathy had long been buried in the team's repeated annihilations. Now, everyone only wanted to kill him.
"First tank, go. Everyone else, get into position quickly. Let me know after you stack three layers of Armor Pierce," Lu Li announced the start of the battle.
The first tank was World's Best Friend. Weilan Haifeng would pull the aggro at the crucial moment. After this period of experimentation, the aggro caused by the three layers of Armor Pierce was very stable. As for the deeper layers of Armor Pierce, it was not easy to stack them. Secondly, it would waste the time of the Red Dragon Essence. If that happened, the damage output would not be able to keep up.
"Alright!" World's Best Friend shouted.
"Go all out and pay attention to your position. Don't use skills that will make you move too much," Lu Li said.
The main reason they didn't move around randomly was to stabilize the Boss's Cleave. As long as the melee players were hit by a Cleave, they would die instantly. If the melee players made a mistake in their positioning, they would also be hit by the Cleave. The main damage output of this Boss was from Thieves and Berserkers. If a few melee players died, they could start over.
The people here were all chosen. In the eyes of others, they had a lot of face. Naturally, they didn't want to be swapped out.
As such, both Lu Li and Water Fairy were dealing damage. Water Fairy was in first place, while Lu Li was in second place. Other than Moonlight, who was in third place, the rest were all Thieves.
Moonlight ingested a special potion that belonged to Empress Liang Bing. After ingesting it, his health was fixed at 20%. No matter how much you healed him, he wouldn't be able to get back up. However, if he was hit, he would take 10% of the damage. This could be considered a damage reduction potion.
This was very useful for Moonlight. Combined with the special effects of his weapon, it forcibly increased his damage output to a whole new level.
Apart from Lu Li and Water Fairy, none of the other Thieves could compare to him.
The reason why Lu Li's damage was so high was because he had Enhanced Shadowstrike. Water Fairy also relied on Enhanced skills. The other Thieves didn't have as many Enhanced skills as they did, and even if they did, they wouldn't necessarily be Shadowstrike's main damage output.
Moreover, everyone had fought the first stage countless times. Even if they closed their eyes, they would know what to do. Lu Li didn't need to put in so much effort to command them.
"Nefarios' aggro has made me unprecedentedly powerful. Hurry up and run, mortal. The wrath of the Blackrock King surges in my veins!" Lu Li remembered the lines that marked the beginning of the second stage and knew that he couldn't continue to deal as much damage as he wanted.
He had to put more effort into commanding. As a result, his damage output plummeted, quickly falling out of the top five.
"Hachi Chan, revive World Best Friend. Is there anyone who died over there who can revive?" Lu Li took a deep breath. He had the urge to curse at the sudden death of these people.
Fortunately, he knew he couldn't lose his temper. If he did, the atmosphere of the team would be completely different.
"I'm sorry," World's Best Friend said in a low voice.
Lu Li didn't say anything. Now wasn't the time to blame anyone. He calmly said, "Let's continue. Hachi Chan, give me another one. I'll revive one too."
"I beg of you, hurry up and run. Run before I lose my mind. The black flame is burning in my heart. I have to release him!" The first to be ignited was a player with mana, Huadi Liqing. He ran to a safe position and waited for his death.
However, as the number one damage output Mage in the guild, he continued to attack while retreating. He occupied the top five damage output positions until the moment he died.
"Second Tank, pay attention to the explosive zone. Third Tank, pay attention to your positioning and use Heroic Strike. Okay, cover the Main Tank's position. Third Armor Pierce. Okay, that's it. Everyone, continue to deal damage." Lu Li was a little nervous.
This time, they didn't lose many people before entering the third stage.
Could they pass it in one try?
It wasn't impossible. Lu Li discovered that when people weren't so worried about their losses, they were able to perform exceptionally well in a more relaxed atmosphere.
However, Lu Li didn't say too many words of encouragement. This was only the third stage.
He had already seen 1% of it several times.
The only thing he told everyone to do was not to be stingy with their potions.
7%!
A small mistake occurred and shocked Lu Li. Fortunately, Weilan Haifeng acted in time. As the number one Main Tank in Dawnlight, he naturally had some tricks up his sleeves.
5%!
"Fire, death, destruction. You mortals, let Lord Nefarian's power … No, I want to fight. Alexstrasza, help me, I must fight to the end!"
Alexstrasza, the Guardian of Life, was the mysterious and ancient Red Dragon Queen. She had the power of the Titans and used the flames of life to protect the young world of Azeroth. She was as old as the mountains and was one of the three Dragons that fought against the demons in the Ancient War.
The little Red Dragon was said to be one of Alexstrasza's spouses and one of her most powerful generals.
Although he had fallen, his mind was still clear. When he was awake, he would cast the Essence of the Red Dragon on everyone. Everyone immediately felt refreshed.
Lu Li knew that they had to kill the Boss within the time limit of the Essence of the Red Dragon. Otherwise, the later stages would become more and more difficult.
"Boss, it seems like there's hope," someone said hesitantly.
Then, everyone looked at the composition of the team and felt that there was hope. After fighting the little Red Dragon so many times, even if they didn't know how to command, they at least had the foresight to do so.
"Calm down, you. Hurry up and run. Don't be greedy," Lu Li ordered the people who had been lit to run faster.
That person was shocked and quickly ran to the designated explosion zone to wait for death.
"Don't get distracted. Just know that you're doing well. If we can defeat the little Red Dragon this time, everyone's guild points will triple," Lu Li said in a low voice. He didn't mind promising more guild points, although guild points were very precious at the moment. If he gave too much, it would cause inflation. If he found a guild and exchanged it for real money, it would seriously increase the guild's burden.
2%!
Success or failure depended on this one move. Lu Li adjusted the team and planned out the people who had to be saved and the people who didn't matter whether they died or not.
They had to make choices. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to last until the end.
What made Lu Li most confident was that the healers were relatively well preserved. The Darkmoon Card hadn't been used, and the Soul Stones that the two Warlocks had tied to the Priests hadn't been used either. This meant that there were three more healers at the back.
1%!
Even less, even less!
"Thank you, I … am finally free!"
Listening to the Boss' last words, Lu Li was a little stunned. It was over just like that?
It wasn't a bitter battle as he had imagined. There were even some tricks and potions that weren't used. The little Red Dragon that had stalled everyone for two days was defeated just like that?
