Hu Die Lan

Chapter Twenty-SevenStrategy, Part 4

“Forgot.” Ye Xiu's answer was so simple and unadorned that Chen Guo couldn't find any fault with it. She was just queuing up to grab monsters, not nervous at all. She quickly switched out of the game and searched online for a strategy guide for the Skeleton Graveyard, opening it while asking Ye Xiu, "Which Boss is it?"

"Skeleton Warrior. The main thing is to see how to get his sword with 100% certainty," Ye Xiu said.

"Sword? 100% drop?" For Chen Guo, going to this dungeon at the appropriate level was something that happened five years ago. She still remembered the sword because she occasionally brought newbies and had an impression of it, but she didn't know anything about the strategy guide mentioning such a thing. After all, her memories were basically of using a high-level character to crush everything, so there was no need to look at any strategy guides.

"Yes, just use that as the theme to search," Ye Xiu replied with considerable confidence. Although he had forgotten the specific details, he remembered that there was definitely such a thing because he was the one who wrote it.

Chen Guo quickly added keywords such as "Skeleton Warrior," "Sword," and "100%" to her search. As expected, she found something. Looking at the post's date, it was from ten years ago. Chen Guo clicked on it and immediately exclaimed, "It's a post written by Ye Qiu!" The author's name was clearly One Autumn Leaf. This was no secret in the Glory circle. Everyone knew that before Glory had a professional league, when it was just a pure online game, Ye Qiu was already a very famous expert under that ID. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been strongly invited to become a professional player as soon as the professional league was established.

"Yes, that's the one. Look at how many times you need to hit the loop on the sword," Ye Xiu said.

"Ah?" Chen Guo had never seen this post before, so she didn't know what Ye Xiu was talking about for a moment. She quickly browsed through it and finally found what Ye Xiu was asking about.

"24 times, with a picture of the effective area. Do you want to see it?" Chen Guo said.

"Zoom in and let me see," Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo opened the picture and zoomed in to the maximum. "Hey, look!"

Then she saw Ye Xiu turn his head at lightning speed, pause for less than a second, and then turn his head back.

"Finished looking?" Chen Guo asked, surprised.

"Yes," Ye Xiu said.

"Need anything else?"

"No need," Ye Xiu said. He did remember that there were also requirements for physical attack. Although he didn't remember the specific amount, with the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's 180 physical attack, plus the Strength attribute, he believed Lord Grim would definitely meet the standard.

"Tian Qi, go to the left; Mu Yun Shen, you go around to the back; Qian Li Sheng, retreat a little, the shockwave of the next slash will hurt you." Ye Xiu began to direct the three to move, while he began to look for opportunities to attack from the front. Just now, the four of them were just dodging, and no one attacked without Ye Xiu's instructions. Tian Qi and the others thought that Ye Xiu was looking for a way to deal with the Skeleton Warrior, but they didn't know that Ye Xiu didn't need to look at a strategy guide to deal with the Skeleton Warrior. What he was looking for was a way to get the sword with 100% certainty.

This sword was just a decorative pendant and had no effect on the character's strength, so there was this method of 100% dropping it, but it also required extremely high skill.

Chen Guo had already put down the game in her hand and stood behind Ye Xiu. She wanted to see how Ye Xiu could complete 24 hits on the loop of the sword. She had read the strategy guide. The loop was on the Skeleton Warrior's waist, square and small. From the actual game screen, it was impossible to find at a close range of less than two meters.

Ye Xiu had already controlled Lord Grim to meet him. During his healing of the four, the Skeleton Warrior had already locked Lord Grim as the first aggro. Lord Grim had been dodging left and right, and Tian Qi and the others had been wandering around, waiting for Ye Xiu to finish reading the strategy guide and listen to his instructions to start attacking.

But Ye Xiu's arrangement for the three after understanding the strategy guide was to put them even further away. The three didn't know Ye Xiu's intention, but they only knew to obey. Seeing Lord Grim meet the Skeleton Warrior, they were all nervous: It's finally starting.

The Skeleton Warrior strode forward, the bones all over his body making a dull and harsh friction sound. Ye Xiu directed Lord Grim to meet him quickly, but his eyes were only searching on the Skeleton Warrior's waist. Chen Guo, who was standing behind him, now realized that the actual operation was much more difficult than the strategy guide. The strategy guide clearly cut out the loop for people to see, but in actual combat, the Skeleton Warrior swayed, and the movements unintentionally covered the loop.

The Skeleton Warrior was tall and the sword was long. When he was still two meters away from Lord Grim, he had already raised the giant sword. Ye Xiu was not flustered. In terms of attack speed, his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's attack speed of 5 was definitely above the giant sword. The attack speed of the giant sword was generally the slowest, 1. In terms of attack distance, although the Skeleton Warrior's giant sword was huge, it could not be compared with a spear, which was a long weapon.

Ye Xiu steadily pushed the mouse, and Lord Grim's spear shook out, arriving later but hitting first, stabbing a Dragon Tooth right on. In the Skeleton Warrior's brief small stiffness, Lord Grim had already approached and launched a Sky Strike.

The Skeleton Warrior's weight was heavier than the Dark Night Cat, but not as heavy as the fat-headed spider Bosses in the Spider Cave. After being hit by Sky Strike, the float was neither high nor low. Lord Grim smoothly slashed with his spear, and he heard a "clang" sound. This attack made a different sound from the previous knocks on the Skeleton Warrior's dry bones.

"Hit it," Chen Guo shouted excitedly behind Ye Xiu.

"Just once," Ye Xiu responded casually, flicked his finger, and Lord Grim's spear finished the stab and turned back to chop again. The Skeleton Warrior, who had been knocked to the ground by Sky Strike, was given an additional sweeping attack. Again, there was a "clang" sound, and this attack also hit the loop on his waist.

Ye Xiu was not greedy. After hitting twice, he immediately controlled Lord Grim to jump away. When the fallen Skeleton Warrior got up, he propped himself up on the ground, and a small range of shockwaves spread 360 degrees. In order to prevent unscrupulous players from endlessly tormenting them with knockdowns and sweeping skills, most Bosses had this shockwave attack when they got up.

Chen Guo watched from behind and saw that the loop had been hit twice. At first, she was happy for Ye Xiu's good start, but after thinking about it again, she felt that hitting the small loop accurately twice in just a moment was actually quite terrifying. While she was stunned, she heard another "clang" sound in her ear.

Lord Grim jumped away at just the right time, just dodging to the edge of the rising shockwave. After the shockwave attack passed, Ye Xiu had already directed Lord Grim to rush up again, and a spear was right on the loop.

The Skeleton Warrior flipped his hands and launched an upward slash, but Lord Grim just rolled backward. The giant sword seemed to brush past his body, and Tian Qi and the other two onlookers couldn't even see whether this sword had caused damage to Lord Grim. Only from the shared viewing of health and mana values in their team list did they find that this sword had been completely dodged.
