If they are about to pass through Exit B and then block this hole and remove the arcane barrier of Exit A, these earth beasts will turn around and head towards Exit A due to the efficiency-first mechanism.

In this way, they can continue to go back and forth between the two sides.

Of course, this is not the optimal solution. We can fully maximize the efficiency-first mechanism.

For example, when the Arcane Barrier at Exit A is under attack by the Geoverse for almost a minute, releasing the Arcane Barrier at Exit B can waste more of the Geoverse's hard-working attack time, thereby providing more time for the skill's cooldown.

Of course, after registering the spell slot, through the coordination of shortening the cooldown by transcending thoughts, the starry sky bodies do not need to be so stingy.

Just let these monsters attack the arcane barrier for about 30 seconds and then remove the hole on the other side. This will allow the two skills to form a closed loop, so that one person can completely hold these earth beasts.

"Sister Yitong is really smart." Shi Guangqian couldn't help but sigh.

Others including Sugar Coffee also expressed their agreement, and some admired the other party's extraordinary thinking ability, and they could actually come up with such a unique method.

I stuck out my tongue, feeling a little shy. After all, this method was not something I came up with myself. It was more or less borrowed from the strategies and ideas of some predecessors in my previous life.

"But what should we do with the ancient beasts of the earth veins?"

Although the surrounding monsters were dealt with, the BOSS, the ancient beast of the earth vein, was not easy to deal with. After all, it was a level 75 BOSS. Therefore, after Shi Guangqian raised this question, everyone in the team turned their eyes to me for advice.

"That's easy. See those totem poles?"

I motioned the team to look at the center of the cave, that is, the huge totem poles around the Earth Vein Ancient Beast. "As long as all the mages and archers in the team go up, the Earth Vein Ancient Beast's ordinary attack methods will not be able to touch you at all."

“But how do we get up there?” Sugared Coffee looked up at the totem poles and opened his mouth.

"Yeah, I can't get up there no matter how hard I try."

"I heard there are special equipment that can be used to climb walls, but we don't have that kind of equipment."

Although the position on the totem pole is obviously not within the reach of the huge ancient earth beast that is only eight or nine meters tall, this height of nearly twenty meters roughly estimated is obviously not something that a magician or archer can reach.

After all, even the mage's flash spell can only flash a distance of more than ten yards, and it is even more impossible for a shooter with a shorter displacement skill to do so.

"There is also a smaller stone chamber above this cave." I smiled slightly and pointed to the location above the stairs.

The team is now on the plank road in the middle of the cave wall. Going up the steps will lead to the stone chamber I mentioned above the cave.

Everyone in the team, including Shi Guangqian, was still puzzled until I traded some magic scrolls to Shi Guangqian.

"These magic scrolls are..." Shi Guangqian was stunned when he saw the props that appeared in his hands after the transaction was completed.

The others, including Sugared Coffee, were stunned for a moment when they saw the scroll the captain showed them. Then they guessed what I was thinking, "Xiao Tongtong wants us to use this skill to get directly down from the stone chamber above to the totem pole?"

Yes, the magic scroll I traded was exactly the [Arcane Passage]. The distance between the two caves separated by the stone wall was no more than two yards. This data had been revealed in a post in the previous life.

I just used the method provided by the poster to make further improvements.

At this point, I also told the entire strategy for dealing with the ancient beasts of the earth veins. After hearing the specific aspects I said, everyone in the team nodded and began to act separately according to my instructions.

Except for the arcane mage's starry sky body, some of them stayed and went around to the other side of the southeast plank road, bringing the terrain below into the casting range of their own arcane barrier.

The mage, archer, and priest including Shi Guangqian all went up the stairs and came to the stone chamber above. After finding their correct position, they cleared out the nearby monsters and made preparations.

The thief Xishu in the team concealed his body, sneaked around the monsters, and tentatively got as close as possible to the warning distance.

The remaining warriors, including Sugared Coffee, and the front row including the Paladins followed my instructions and came to the open space on the west side. This distance would not alarm the monsters and ancient beasts of the earth veins, while also ensuring that they could arrive as soon as possible by charging.

"It's probably here. Brothers and sisters, let's meet at these two places." After pretending to compare the location on the map, I shouted to Shi Guangqian and others who were also looking for it around us.

As Shi Guangqian approached, he was a little curious, "Is Sister Yitong planning for us to focus on the two totem poles?"

After all, there were several totem poles seen in the cave below, and she thought they should disperse to avoid unexpected situations. Other people in the team had similar ideas.

"Well, there is enough space on the totem poles for us to stand, and these two totem poles are very different." However, I knew that there was no need to do this, and these two totem poles also had important positions in the strategy post.

Because the height of both is lower than other totem poles, the mage and shooter have more skills to output to the BOSS below, and the priest also has the opportunity to heal or revive the fallen warriors and paladins.

Not only that, the distance between the two totem poles is also within the range of the priest's resurrection, so they can take good care of each other, and this is also the most critical part of the plan description in the post.

But there is another key point in this post - at least one priest has learned the skill of invincibility.

I think Shi Guangqian or the other two priests, Liunian and Xingkong Cangqiong, have never obtained such a precious skill book.

However, even if there is no such method, I still have another alternative method.

The team was divided into two groups. Most of the mages and the priest Liunian and Xingkong Cangqiong, who was said to be cousins ​​of Xingkong Tianbo, went to the top of another totem pole, leaving only two shooters and Shi Guangqian on his side.

Although everyone was somewhat confused about this arrangement, they still went their separate ways.

"Sister Time, let me give you this." I sent a trade request to the other party and placed the sacred resurrection skill book that I got from the secret compartment in the secret room on top.

Shi Guangqian originally thought it was some special item and accepted it subconsciously. But when he saw the skill book effect appear in his backpack, he couldn't help but be stunned, "What is this?"

"It may be used next time, just in case."

"But this is too precious..." Shi Guangqian was still a little surprised. As a priest, she naturally understood the preciousness of this skill book.

Before, the whole team was busy helping her and the other two priests learn the resurrection spell. This high-level version of the resurrection spell is much better than the resurrection spell, and its preciousness is no less than the dark gold set.

In fact, she had underestimated it. If it was put in the auction house, it would definitely cause competition among the various guilds. After all, there is no such thing as too many resurrection spells, especially for a single priest. Being able to raise a "god-level priest" can be of great benefit to the team.

Chapter 18 Entering the Battle

"No, this thing is too precious. I can't accept it."

Shi Guangqian shook his head and wanted to return the skill book.

However, since he knew her character quite well, how could he not guess what she was thinking? He did not give her a chance at all and reached out to take out the scroll of [Arcane Channel].

"There's no time left. Sister Time, use it up quickly. Otherwise, there's a high chance that something unexpected will happen, and it'll be troublesome."

Although it was not stated explicitly, it actually revealed a message that the next action must use the skill of holy resurrection, otherwise the plan would most likely fail. As the captain, Shi Guangqian certainly did not want to see this situation.

"Yeah, wait... wait..."

Sure enough, after seeing me tear the magic scroll in my hand and jump in with two shooters, the other side also used [Arcane Channel] as if they had received a signal, and Cleaver Bad Guy and Starry Sky jumped in with the others.

Shi Guangqian was unable to make a judgment for a moment, and had no choice but to use the skill book and follow everyone into the circular passage that appeared on the ground.

The archer has the ability to teleport, the mage and the priest have the ability to flash, and using these two displacement skills, the team members falling from the circular passage found the right direction in the air, and everyone landed on the two totem poles below without any mistakes.

After all, apart from the poor level of equipment, this team was able to become a well-known team in the previous life, so the necessary talents and skills are still there.

Long before this, Xishu, who had been paying attention to the top of the cave at all times, immediately took action the moment he saw his companion falling down. He emerged from stealth, and using his skills to burst out with powerful speed, he rushed towards the group of rock beasts wandering in front.

The sudden appearance of the aura naturally attracted the attention of these monsters, and they all chased after it with roars. As Xishu deliberately avoided it, all the underground rock beasts were attracted to it and became hostile.

Or it could be said that it was not just these groups of ground vein rock beasts. The ancient ground vein beast that was sleeping in the center of the cave was also awakened. It propped up its huge body and stood up from the rocky ground. In the process, its thick limbs fell down with a loud bang, which seemed to shake the ground of the entire cave.

Just as the ancient beast focused its attention on the tiny reptile on the ground and raised its front legs to crush it, the mages and archers who had already formed a formation on the totem pole launched an offensive.

The rapid-shooting magic and sharp arrows hit the thick shell of the ancient earth beast. Although it only took away hundreds of its blood points, it also successfully attracted the hatred of the BOSS.

The ancient earth beast let out a low roar, and swung its limbs to rush towards the team members on the two totem poles. However, such a powerful charge could not shake the totem poles at all.

It was unable to attack the team members on top even after jumping up from the ground. This situation made the ancient beast of the earth vein very angry, but it seemed helpless. It could only pace around anxiously, bumping and slapping the sturdy totem poles to vent its anger.

Frightened by the opponent's momentum, the mages and shooters, who were originally a little worried and nervous, were completely relieved after seeing this. Their offensive output became unreserved and even more unscrupulous.

However, due to the existence of a special mechanism, when the ancient beast of the earth vein was unable to attack these people, it let out a low roar and turned around, and it seemed that it was about to recover from the battle.

Fortunately, the warriors and paladins, including Jiatang Coffee, who were waiting nearby, knew that this would happen after I reminded them, and immediately rushed over to contain the actions of the Earth Vein Ancient Beast. With a target to attack, the Earth Vein Ancient Beast was able to avoid being out of battle and recovering health.

It was just because Sugared Coffee and the others didn't use any taunting or aggressive skills under my instructions, so the hatred of the ancient earth beasts was still directed towards the mages and shooters, and they didn't have much desire to attack these people.

Otherwise, the melee front row of less than ten people would not be able to hold out for long against the full-force attack of a level 75 boss. However, even so, with the occasional trampling and beating of the ancient earth beasts, their health fluctuated and looked very dangerous.

However, with the treatment of three priests in the team, they can be resurrected even after death, and the safety of those in the front row can still be guaranteed.

On the other side, the thief Xishu, who attracted the hatred of the underground rock beasts, used his various acceleration skills and displacement to successfully lead these monsters to the southeast side and plunged into the complex corridor terrain in front.

After walking around the corridor for a distance with this group of earth vein rock beasts, Xishu heard an increasingly loud rumbling sound behind him. He knew he couldn't stay any longer and immediately rushed towards another exit.

The moment he rushed through the exit, the spell that had been chanted by the starry sky body on the stone plank road next to him also ended, and a transparent arcane barrier spanned the middle of the exit, blocking the group of earth vein rock beasts behind him.

Seeing this sudden barrier, the Earth Vein Rock Beast immediately turned and rushed to the other side without thinking.

However, just as they were about to arrive, due to the cooldown bonus attached to the spell slot and the cooldown reduction of Mind Transcendence, a new arcane barrier blocked the group of monsters.

Just as I expected, the Starry Sky Body used the combination of two skills to successfully trap the group of earth vein rock beasts in this terrain. No matter how hard the ancient earth vein beasts that were under fierce attack on the other side called out, they could not break through this logical mechanism that seemed to have formed a closed loop.

It seemed that all the threats were resolved invisibly, but Shi Guangqian didn't think so.

"Sister Yitong gave me this sacred resurrection. She must have a purpose in it."

Shi Guangqian waved his staff to cast an offensive BUFF on his companions beside him, looking at a figure not far away who was casting dark magic at the ancient beast below, and thought to himself.

After all, as a priest, she only used ordinary resurrection to revive the soldiers who died in accidents, and she had no need for the skill of Holy Resurrection. But since the other party forced her to learn this skill without any explanation, there must be some special situation.

Just as she was thinking this, the ancient beast in the ground below suddenly behaved strangely.

It seemed that because it was unable to attack the annoying mage and archer on the top and could only passively chase the warriors and paladins below, or perhaps because it lost a lot of blood under the fierce attack, the ancient beast of the earth stomped its front legs heavily and roared angrily.

Along with the roaring sound, all kinds of traps began to rise from the ground in the center of the cave, mixed with flames, ice, lightning and poisonous fog.

If it were an ordinary team dealing with the ancient beasts of the earth veins here, they would probably have a hard time. They would have to avoid the attacks of the monster guards, and at the same time, they would have to parry and avoid the attacks of the BOSS while guarding against the traps that pop up around them.

However, Sugar Coffee and the others were not too worried, because all the back-row professions in the team had reached the top of the totem pole, and their melee professions were more flexible in movement than the back-row professions.

Although the damage of the trap is very high, they only need to hold the ancient beast from time to time to prevent it from leaving the combat state. They do not need to pay attention to protecting the back row at all times like other teams. They can focus more on avoiding traps. Even if they accidentally step on it and lose most of their blood, they will be quickly healed.

However, there were no accidents on the warrior's side, but the mage and shooter on the top of the totem pole suffered.

Although the ancient beast of the earth vein cannot attack the player on top of the totem pole, I mentioned before that it is just that ordinary means of attack cannot attack it. As a level 75 boss, how could it not have unusual means?

Chapter 19: Holy Resurrection

Along with the roar of the ancient earth beast, various traps rose up on the ground. At the same time, the huge tail behind the ancient earth beast swung violently, throwing out the huge stone on the top and smashing it quickly in the direction of the totem pole.

After being thrown out, the stone balls quickly condensed and regenerated, proving that this is a renewable resource that can be used infinitely.

The huge flying rocks were as powerful as meteorites, and their destructive power was undoubtedly extraordinary, but there was simply no extra space on the totem pole to hide.

This ancient beast obviously possesses a certain degree of intelligence. If it were an ordinary BOSS, it would definitely target the side with the greatest hatred, that is, me with the highest DPS. But it is different. The direction of its attack seems to be the top of another totem pole.

Obviously this is because group hatred is prioritized, but it is also included in my calculations.

Even with the shields set up, the mages and priests on the other totem pole could not withstand the huge damage from the stones, and their health was instantly emptied.

After all, the opponent is a boss who is about 20 levels lower than them. If it is a magic profession of the same level, they may be able to barely block it, but for their team whose equipment and level are at the lower level among the current players, it is obviously a devastating blow.

But this does not mean there is no hope. Shi Guangqian immediately resurrected and pulled up Xingkong Cangqiong, who had the highest healing power. However, just when Xingkong Cangqiong was about to pull up Liunian, I called out to him, "Wait, Sister Cangqiong, pull up the others first."

But after pulling up the others, I told the two of them not to revive Liunian. Although they were confused, they did as I asked. Liunian was confused but also happy to be free. He did not choose to return to the city as I said, but lay there and switched his perspective, watching the forum and paying attention to the game.

The reason for doing this is purely because of the next plan.

The poster of the previous post called this ancient earth beast one of the easiest bosses to deal with.

The reason for this joking name is that, in addition to doing as he said allowing the back-row professions to completely unleash their output, unlike other bosses who have to be cautious to avoid OT, another point is that the traps summoned by the ancient beasts of the earth are actually of the nature of indiscriminate damage.

Therefore, under my instructions, a group of warriors and paladins including Sugar Coffee deliberately led the ancient beast around the ground with traps, and with the output of the resurrected mage and priest, they soon brought it down to 80% of its health.

Having reached this amount of blood, the ancient earth beast made a new move. It stomped its front limbs hard on the ground. With a rumbling sound, a huge magic circle appeared on the top of the cave. Then dozens of meteorites fell from it and hit the ground, covering a large area of ​​the cave.

“Sister Coffee, please hide near those totem poles.” I immediately gave the order in the team channel.

Although the attack range of the ancient earth beast is very wide, it is not difficult to dodge it because it falls at an angle, using the cover of the totem poles. I guess this is the idea behind the design of these totem poles.

It was easy for the warriors and paladins below to dodge, but the team members on the totem pole were just as unavoidable as before.

Moreover, this time the attack was not like the previous ones that only attacked the location where Xingkong Cangqiong and the others were. Because it was a range attack, it naturally covered the location where Shi Guangqian and I were.

I don't need to worry because I have various ways to save my life, and the other two shooters also have the skill of feigning death. However, Shi Guangqian and the mages and priests on the other side have no way out.

If the priest and the mage were all killed, then even if the remaining team members still had some fighting power, they would definitely not be able to kill the ancient earth beast with 80% of its health left, and the only result they would face was the destruction of the entire team.

But, that only applies to them before this.

Recalling what I said a few minutes ago, Shi Guangqian, who had already understood my plan, looked at the stone above his head growing bigger in his pupils. After counting three, two, one in his mind, he immediately used the divine resurrection skill on a corpse that had been lying on the totem pole on the other side for a long time.

Boom.

The falling meteorite brought with it a violent air current, and its destructive power could be roughly seen from the corpses lying all around. Except for me who used soul counterattack, and two shooters who used feigned death to avoid fatal injuries, no one survived.

However, there was a slight deviation. Liunian, who was resurrected at the moment the meteorite fell, miraculously escaped the disaster. It's not really magical. The key is that he used the brief few seconds of invincibility of his teammates through the Holy Resurrection to avoid the damage from the boulders.

Liunian was stunned for half a second, as if he was surprised that he was unharmed, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly pulled up the Starry Sky Sky next to him, and then Starry Sky Sky Sky pulled up Shi Guangqian, and the three of them then went on to resurrect the other team members.

At this point, these people finally understood my plan.

Every once in a while, the ancient beast of the earth vein will throw the stones on its tail to attack the group of people with the most hatred targets, and every 20% of the blood volume lost will automatically trigger the large-scale meteorite attack just now.
