Chapter 118 Mutual Assistance

Baozi Invasion's situation was somewhat similar to Wang Jiexi's. However, Wang Jiexi could self-adjust and correct, but Baozi Invasion might not have that awareness. Ye Xiu wasn't sure which direction of development would be more beneficial at this point. After adjusting, Wang Jiexi remained a top-tier player with top-tier style, but many people became mediocre or ordinary after forcibly changing their style.

Transformation wasn't so easy. Although Baozi Invasion was a Glory newbie, he wasn't a blank slate when it came to games. His approach had his own set of ideas and understanding. In this regard, he wasn't like Tang Rou, who was truly a blank slate. But the unfortunate thing was that this girl had a strong personality, which basically limited her style, making it unlikely that she would have major changes. Ye Xiu could teach them the skills of the game, but he didn't have the ability to change people's personalities. Everyone was an adult with a mature mind. Tang Rou's personality wasn't a shortcoming, it just prevented her from becoming an excellent team player.

Ye Xiu watched the performances of these two while thinking about these things. He was multitasking, but his operations didn't slow down. After ten years of Glory, Ye Xiu didn't know how many battles he had experienced. Many things had become his subconscious actions, as if he didn't need to think about them. Some operations were performed naturally, coordinating 君莫笑 Jun Moxiao with Qiao Yifan's 一寸灰 Yicun Hui and Su Mucheng's 风梳烟沐 Fengshuyanmu perfectly.

Taking it down wouldn't be a problem.

It would be a joke if a team that could take down a level 36 wild Boss couldn't handle this level 33 hidden Boss, the Shadow Blade 阿红 A'hong.

The important thing was to allow everyone to get practice in this small dungeon.

Ye Xiu casually played while commanding the team. The focus was, of course, on Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion. Su Mucheng would hardly need Ye Xiu to say much even if she went to the professional arena, and Ye Xiu hadn't misjudged Qiao Yifan at all. He was the opposite of Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion, an excellent team player.

He was good at observation. He would notice the performance of each team member on the field, and then he would do his best to seek cooperation with everyone. His character and awareness allowed him to do very well in this regard.

Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion's previous lack of cooperation was partly due to their unfamiliarity with the hidden Boss. Gradually, as they became familiar with its characteristics, their performance became stronger and stronger.

The effects of the Shadow Blade's various modified skills were quickly adapted to by these two, and they gradually integrated into the team's cooperation.

That's right, they could still integrate now.

But as these two's levels improved and their styles became more and more obvious, the conflict with the team would also become greater and greater. This was what Ye Xiu was worried about.

But in the present situation, it was still a good whole after all. Under Ye Xiu's coordination, the Shadow Blade was gradually restricted and surrounded by the five of them at the foot of the mountain, taking turns attacking.

君莫笑 Jun Moxiao and 一寸灰 Yicun Hui's "Two Ghost Blade Array" never stopped, and several people were always within the barrier range.

The bursts of poison mist that Baozi Invasion's attacks stirred up.

The three magic Chasers that danced around 寒烟柔 Hanyan Rou.

The artillery fire that burst from 风梳烟沐 Fengshuyanmu from time to time.

Various attacks constantly punctuated the Shadow Blade. A'hong's eyes were getting redder and redder, but his performance was always unhelpful. The character was realistically sweating profusely, and his expression was becoming more and more solemn.

"Attention, it's almost in the red," Ye Xiu suddenly said in a deep voice.

"What are the characteristics of being in the red?" Tang Rou asked quickly. They had suffered a lot at the beginning because they weren't familiar with the characteristics of this Boss, and Tang Rou had learned to be clever.

"Sword Shadow Steps," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh? What is that?" Baozi Invasion asked. In this regard, he wasn't like Tang Rou. Tang Rou had helped Chen Guo play some PKs before and had seen many skills. Although she might not know the names, she had seen "Sword Shadow Steps" when 绕岸垂杨 Rao An Chui Yang used it yesterday when Ye Xiu faced him, and Chen Guo had exclaimed. Tang Rou could finally match the name and skill.

But Baozi Invasion had only played this character, and hadn't seen any skills above level 30.

"It's a doppelganger. There will be five in a while, one for each of you," Ye Xiu said. If it were an ordinary player team, they would never dare to hit one doppelganger each during the Shadow Blade's Sword Shadow Steps. But Ye Xiu and his team were strong and dared to use such a bold approach.

"Pay attention!" Ye Xiu, who had been paying attention to the Boss's health, gave a loud reminder at the last moment.

The Shadow Blade A'hong's eyes were already glowing red at this time, and the pupils and whites of his eyes were no longer visible.

"Retreat!"

With Ye Xiu's shout, all five characters jumped back rapidly. The Shadow Blade roared to the sky, and a red light spread out around him.碎石枯草 Broken stones and withered grass flew everywhere, and the surging waves of air surged 360 degrees. Fortunately, Ye Xiu reminded them quickly, and the five of them retreated cleanly, avoiding being flashed by the red light.

Then the Shadow Blade danced his long knife and performed a set of moves. His figure blurred, and he split into four directions. In an instant, he had split into five.

Unlike the Sword Shadow Steps of the Swordsman, the Shadow Blade's doppelganger shadows didn't distinguish between who was real and who was fake. All five were Shadow Blades, which meant that the players had to fight five hidden Bosses at the same time.

If it really continued like this until the end, it was obviously an impossible battle. Fortunately, Sword Shadow Steps had a time limit. For the Shadow Blade, the time was 20 seconds. As long as the players survived the 20 seconds, the five remaining shadows would merge into one again. However, the damage during this time was borne by the five Shadow Blades separately. After the five merged into one, the total damage value wouldn't be added together, but would be divided proportionally. This meant that the damage caused by the players during this period was only one-fifth.

This would obviously prolong the battle time. The Shadow Blade's Sword Shadow Steps would never be used just once, and would be repeated over and over again until his life was completely exhausted.

For ordinary player teams, the strategy here was to focus on dodging and defending when the Shadow Blade split, not trying to cause any damage at this time, because the damage was only worth one-fifth in the end. When the Shadow Blade merged again, the team would continue to intensify their output. But Ye Xiu's team was tough, they didn't care if you split or not, they would still fight the same.

At this time, the five Shadow Blades that were split up were also very intelligent, and each grabbed a target and rushed up.

The Shadow Blade on the left rear swung his sword and slashed a 拔刀斩 Badaozhan at Baozi Invasion. Baozi Invasion rolled to avoid the sword light, and before he could get up, he threw a handful of sand in his face. Although the Shadow Blade was a Boss, he still had to briefly lose his sight. Baozi Invasion seized the moment when the Boss was spinning around in place while blinded, and went up and smashed the back of his head with a brick, stunning him. Then he coated his weapon with poison and took out poison needles, and stabbed the Shadow Blade fiercely.

The Shadow Blade on the right rear slashed a 崩山击 Bengshanji at 寒烟柔 Hanyan Rou. Tang Rou had suffered from this move before, and when she saw it again, she didn't retreat but advanced, and the character jumped up and rushed up again.

But this time, Tang Rou accurately calculated the height of the Shadow Blade's impact wave and avoided the impact of the 崩山击 Bengshanji after it hit the ground. With a flying spear, she used a 圆舞棍 Yuanwugun to stab the Shadow Blade. She swung her arm in a large circle in the air and slammed the Shadow Blade face-first into the dirt. She had suffered here before, so she had to pay him back hard here. Tang Rou was such a girl who refused to admit defeat.

The Shadow Blade on the left front directly used 三段斩 Sanduanzhan to slash at 风梳烟沐 Fengshuyanmu. Su Mucheng immediately had the character lightly jump up and fire a cannon, blasting the Shadow Blade in the face while her character retreated with a flying cannon. But the Shadow Blade was a Boss, and this cannon couldn't interrupt his 三段斩 Sanduanzhan. Three sword lights chased after 风梳烟沐 Fengshuyanmu, but each sword light was always a little bit off from 风梳烟沐 Fengshuyanmu, who was flying backwards. Su Mucheng was obviously very steady.

On Qiao Yifan's side, he took the initiative to attack the Boss. After throwing down an Ice Array, not only did the frost attack the one rushing towards him, but it also froze the one in the center rushing towards 君莫笑 Jun Moxiao into a large ice cube. In this situation where they had already decided to fight on their own, Qiao Yifan found an opportunity, but he still sought cooperation with Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu also understood and used a Blade Array when Qiao Yifan dropped the Ice Array. He circled the two of them in the array, and then 千机伞 Qianjisan used an Anti-Tank Gun in gun form. The attack wasn't on himself, but on the one rushing towards Qiao Yifan. The Shadow Blade staggered from the three shots. Qiao Yifan used this time to cast a spell, 月光斩 Yueguangzhan connected to 满月斩 Manyuezhan followed by a Ghost Slash, and the three slashes heavily flung the Shadow Blade away.

At this moment, the satisfaction in his heart didn't come from hitting the Boss, but from the cooperation with Ye Xiu.

Great God! He actually took the initiative to use a move to cooperate with him under his guidance. This made Qiao Yifan feel that he wasn't just an extra, but a part of the team like everyone else, and everyone was interdependent. This was the feeling of a real teammate, and this feeling was super wonderful.

After helping Qiao Yifan block the Shadow Blade on his side, Ye Xiu's 君莫笑 Jun Moxiao shook 千机伞 Qianjisan again and turned it into a spear. He faced the Shadow Blade with a 天击 Tianji. The Shadow Blade continued to slash with his right long knife, but his left hand used his left knife to parry 君莫笑 Jun Moxiao's 天击 Tianji. Ye Xiu wouldn't be tricked by this little trick. The spear "哗" suddenly retracted, and the Shadow Blade's left hand knife blocked empty. 千机伞 Qianjisan had been folded into two sections and hung on 君莫笑 Jun Moxiao's arms. He rolled on the spot to avoid the right hand knife, and with his arms spread, he hugged the Shadow Blade and threw him out.

After the Judo skill was cast, 千机伞 Qianjisan became a spear again. Ye Xiu was about to let 君莫笑 Jun Moxiao continue to pursue when he suddenly heard a crisp "Ding Hu" sound outside his headset.

Ye Xiu always kept the sound effects of the game very low, because he often needed to hear this sound.

At this time, when he heard it, Ye Xiu couldn't help but curse, "Damn it."

After so many days of working the night shift, he had helped customers deliver drinks and cigarettes many times. Finally, today, at the most critical moment, Ye Xiu was called for service by a customer at the internet cafe.

Ye Xiu quickly took his left hand off the keyboard for a moment, connected the service and asked, "What do you want?"

"Huh?" The four people in the team answered first. Ye Xiu didn't bother to take off his headset.

"Get two colas." The customer's voice then came from the service desk.

"Wait a moment," Ye Xiu said.
