I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

"Take a ten-minute break, then continue."

Hua Zitong watched Li Wu's retreating figure and took a deep breath.

She knew that Li Wu wasn't deliberately being harsh on them.

He was forcing them to grow up.

In a place like the realm of the gods, even the slightest mistake could lead to total defeat.

"Is everyone alright?" Hua Zitong turned to ask the others.

"It's nothing, just a little exciting." Zhui Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Then hurry up and replenish your mana and health to get yourself back in shape." Hua Zitong's eyes became determined.

"Our leader can carry us, but we can't be a burden. From now on, give it your all in the battles to come!"

The environment in the second level of the Abyss of Despair is even harsher than that in the first level.

There is no ground here, only countless black rocks suspended in mid-air.

Between the rocks lies a bottomless void; falling in would mean instant death.

The monster has changed too.

They were no longer those enormous land demons, but a group of winged void gargoyles.

Void Gargoyle

Level: 145 (Elite)

Health: 15000000

These monsters are not only tough, but they can also fly. Their attack method involves firing void energy projectiles, which have a strong knockback effect.

In this terrain, being knocked back means falling into the void.

"This terrain is too disadvantageous for us." Hua Zitong stood on a floating rock that was only a dozen square meters in size, her brows furrowed.

"With nowhere to hide, the tanks' defensive range is also limited."

Li Wu glanced at his surroundings.

"No need to dodge," Li Wu said. "Just push them through."

He drew his bow and aimed it at a large group of Void Gargoyles circling in the distance.

[Multiple Arrows Domain]

A golden field unfolded on the stone they stood on.

"Wind Chaser, Shadow, Winter. In this area, your single-target ranged attacks will be tripled. Go all out and shoot those birds down from the sky!"

Li Wu gave the order.

The three men immediately took action.

Zhui Feng fired an ordinary arrow, which automatically split into three the instant it left the area.

The throwing knives thrown by the shadows and the ice spikes of winter also multiplied into three.

A barrage of attacks flew towards the Void Gargoyle.

Although their damage wasn't high due to level suppression, their three times the attack frequency, combined with the control effect, forced the gargoyles to lose their footing in mid-air.

Li Wu was not idle either.

He didn't use a wide-area clearing skill because the monsters here were too scattered.

He used the [Fusion Penetrating Arrow].

Pure white light wove together in the air to form a web of death.

With each ray of light that passes through, one or even several Void Gargoyles are instantly vaporized.

"Be careful to repel them!" shouted the immovable mountain.

A few gargoyles that escaped the net swooped down and fired void energy blasts.

Immovable as a mountain and with steel shields firmly held the front, using their shields to withstand the impact of the energy blasts.

The immense force caused them to slide back several steps on the rocks, their heels already dangling in the air.

"Angelica dahurica, Pinellia ternata, heal them! Winter, use ice walls to block the edges of the rocks!" Hua Zitong quickly commanded.

An ice wall rose from the edge of the rock, blocking the body that was as immovable as a mountain as it retreated.

The white light from the treatment continuously fell on the two tanks.

The team's coordination began to improve under extreme pressure.

Li Wu nodded inwardly as he watched this scene.

He chose this extreme terrain to train their resilience and adaptability.

In the realm of the gods, there will never be a smooth battlefield for them to form ranks.

After clearing out the gargoyles in this area, they need to jump onto the next floating rock.

"It's too far, I can't jump over it."

Zhui Feng looked at the next stone, which was more than 30 meters away.

Li Wu stepped forward, drew his bow, and aimed it at the stone.

【Group Phase Shuttle Arrow】.

An arrow carrying spatial fluctuations struck the opposite rock, and a blue portal opened in front of them.

"Go in," Li Wu said.

Ten people passed through the portal and instantly appeared on the opposite rock.

And so, they advanced stone by stone in this broken, void world.

Time passed day by day.

In the abyss of despair, there is no day or night, only endless slaughter.

Led by Li Wu, this ten-person squad was like a sophisticated meat grinder, ruthlessly reaping the lives of monsters.

Their rankings are skyrocketing at an astonishing rate.

On the tenth day after entering the abyss, everyone reached level 115.

Day 20, Level 125.

Day 30, Level 135.

As your level increases, the disadvantages caused by level suppression become smaller and smaller.

The damage from Chasing Wind and his companions began to show; even their immovable stance allowed them to withstand attacks from more monsters.

The team's overall combat effectiveness has undergone a qualitative leap.

Hua Zitong's command skills are becoming increasingly sophisticated. She can accurately judge the monster's attack intentions and make preparations in advance without even needing Li Wu's reminders.

The two assassins, Night Wind and Shadow, also learned to seize the opportunity to attack when Li Wu was pulling monsters, specifically targeting those magic-type monsters that were hiding behind and shooting arrows.

The entire team operates as seamlessly as gears.

Li Wu's pressure was also greatly reduced.

He no longer needs to do all the dirty and tiring work by himself, and can focus more on studying new arrow signals.

Over the past two months, he has gained a deeper understanding of higher-order languages ​​by combining his insights from the Titan Core Fragments and the Bones of Erling.

He discovered that the superordinate language is actually a "combination formula" of the ciphertext.

In the past, he created the arrow language by piecing together several secret texts based on intuition.

Now that he has mastered these formulas, he can precisely write the desired effect, just like writing code.

His six-character arrows became more stable, and he even began to try to build seven-character arrows.

On the forty-fifth day, they finally reached the bottom of the abyss of despair.

The entrance to the third level is a huge black stone door.

The door was carved with intricate demonic patterns, exuding a chilling sense of oppression.

"Once you pass through this door, you'll reach the final boss."

Li Wu stood in front of the door, looking at the nine people behind him.

The nine people looked somewhat disheveled. Their equipment was stained with monster blood, and their faces were etched with exhaustion.

But their eyes were countless times sharper than when they first arrived.

That was the killing intent honed through countless brushes with death.

Their current level is 146.

I'm only four levels away from reaching the maximum level of 150.

"Boss, open the door." Immovable as a mountain raised the new shield in his hand, which was a legendary piece of equipment they had obtained on the second floor.

"I've been holding back for so long, I also want to see what the master of this abyss looks like."

Li Wu smiled.

He turned around and pushed open the heavy black stone door.
