Final Lord

Chapter 350 High-Level Clouds

Cloud Monster - High-Rise Cloud

Extraordinary Level 3

Attributes: Health: 280
Attack: 30
Defense: 30
Speed: 15
Special skill:

High-level airflow: Immune to air elements and restores an equal amount of health.

Cloud Body: Cannot be killed by physical damage.

Gaseous Cloud (30-minute cooldown): When activated, it converts magic damage into air elemental damage.

High-level Cloud Fury: During combat, for every High-level Cloud monster (high-level cloud) that dies within a three-kilometer radius, place a High-level symbol on yourself.

Remove 10 high-level symbols and kill any random enemy unit within a 3-kilometer radius (ignores health, instant kill).

Wang Bufu looked at the 60 high-rise clouds within his field of vision and took a deep breath.

This monster, known as the Epic Slayer by players in the previous life, was as terrifying as the Bull, or even more terrifying.

The death of 10 high-level clouds does not mean that only one high-level cloud has a high-level symbol, but that all the remaining high-level clouds have symbols!

For example, if there are 100 high-level clouds and 10 die, the remaining 90 high-level clouds can use special abilities to directly kill all 90 units. No matter how strong they are, unless they have an instant-death immunity ability, they are powerless against high-level clouds.

The special effect of high-level clouds is "random killing" rather than targeted killing, which seems like a disadvantage, but sometimes it is an advantage.

Because random killing does not require specifying a target, the caveman's burrowing and the harpy's invisibility are ineffective against the high-level cloud's special abilities.

As long as they are within three kilometers of the high-level clouds, they will be killed by special effects.

Facing sixty extraordinary Tier 3 high-level cloud beings, Wang Bufu's pupils contracted slightly, and his fingertips unconsciously rubbed the belt around his waist.

In his mind, he kept rehearsing the tactics, over and over again.

Wang Bufu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was sharp as if it had been tempered by fire.

"Group them! Fifty groups!"

Fifty sets!
This number startled Blind Cat. In past battles, Wang Bufu had never divided his forces into so many groups!

Blind Cat himself had tried it, and even commanding a group of cavemen often proved extremely difficult for him. Fifty groups... Just how terrifying is the Lord's ability?

"Unfathomable depths!" the blind cat murmured.

Soon, all the cave assassins dispersed swiftly under Wang Bufu's precise command, their movements so clean and efficient as to be alarming.

Their robust limbs appeared and disappeared in the clouds and mist of Baiyun Mountain, and their emerald green venom sacs shone faintly beneath their skin, like a swarm of fireflies secretly glowing in the night.

In just three minutes, these well-trained warriors completed their formation with astonishing efficiency, completely surrounding the high-level cloud legion, much like a Go master setting up an inescapable net on a chessboard.

Twenty-six small, single-unit combat teams, like sharp knives, penetrated key positions.

Ten pairs of teams form the second line of defense.

Two three-person tactical teams serve as mobile forces.

Furthermore, a seven-person elite team conspicuously occupied a key position, acting as bait.

This arrangement was certainly not arbitrary. Wang Bufu's fingers unconsciously traced tactical routes in the air.

His gaze swept over every strategic point, ensuring that every unit was in the optimal position.

Behind this seemingly complex formation lies his profound understanding of monster behavior patterns as a top player.

The key is the difference in value. Countless players in past lives have verified this truth through countless battles:
In the simple mind of monsters, the most primal hunting instinct always prevails.

When melee monsters chase ranged units, they prioritize the closest prey when the distance difference is large, and attract the more valuable target when the distance difference is small.

Very few monsters are exceptions.

"This is the ironclad rule of monster operations!" Wang Bufu's gaze was cold and calm.

He knew these seemingly powerful monsters all too well.

No matter how terrifying their special skills are, they cannot escape the most basic rules of behavior. Just like even the fiercest wild beasts can fall into a hunter's carefully designed trap.

Just like now, those seven-person teams are perceived by the high-level cloud as the brightest torches in the darkness.

Individual soldiers, scattered like fireflies, need to actively search for each other.

This ingenious "value difference" design is the key to breaking the fatal flaw of high-level cloud computing.

The battle begins!
Wang Bufu's expression was solemn. Sixty high-level clouds of the third rank of the extraordinary realm surged in the mist, each exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

He took a deep breath, focused intently, and rapidly planned out each step of his next move.

Not a single mistake can be made, or it could result in huge losses or even total annihilation!

Having not commanded a battle like this in a long time, Wang Bufu felt his adrenaline surge.

"All personnel—execute the tactics!"

At his command, all the cave assassins simultaneously vanished underground. The hard rock before them was like soft sand, instantly breaking open deep passages.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times, even their breathing rhythms were perfectly synchronized, and they moved toward the upper cloud in unison.

The first wave of baiting!
About fifty meters from the high-level cloud legion, half of the individual cavemen suddenly burst out of the ground! Their cheeks bulged, and emerald green venom poured into the sky like a torrential rain, accurately hitting dozens of high-level clouds.

The venom exploded in the clouds, making a hissing, corrosive sound, and the health of the upper-level clouds visibly decreased.

"Roar--!"

The high-ranking cloud legion was instantly enraged. The clouds churned violently, transforming into dozens of sharp cloud blades that roared toward the first wave of cavemen!

They were incredibly fast, closing in on the attackers in the blink of an eye!
The second wave of containment!
Just as Gao Shangyun was about to set off to kill the first wave of cavemen, the soil on the other side suddenly exploded!

Five groups of cavemen (one person per group) leaped out from another direction at a closer distance, splashing venom again, accurately hitting the rear troops of the high-level cloud.

"Om-!"

The aggro of the upper-level clouds was instantly pulled, and a portion of the cloud clusters abruptly changed direction, rushing towards the second wave of cavemen!

The third wave of disruption!
Before the high-level cloud could fully lock onto the second wave of targets, the soil surged again from a third direction! Four groups of cavemen jumped out from completely different angles, their venom shooting out like arrows, once again hitting the high-level cloud's flank.

"hiss--!"

The hatred of the high-level cloud was once again divided, the cloud and mist legion was completely thrown into chaos, and the pursuit route became fragmented.

Just as the first batch of high-level cloud beings was about to wipe out the first wave of cavemen, they burrowed underground to escape the battle!
"Puff puff!"

The soil churned, and the first wave of cavemen simultaneously vanished underground without a trace! The high-level cloud's cloud blades slammed into the mountain rocks, leaving only meaningless scratches.

"...?"

The high-level cloud legions collectively froze briefly, as if pondering the philosophical question, "How did the prey suddenly disappear?" Their cloud-like bodies trembled slightly, clearly unprepared for this tactic.
