How come you, who claims to be a mother, only think about "bullying" your daughter all day long? Are you a stepmother?
I couldn't help but roll my eyes and ignored what Red Rose and Meng Qingying continued to say. I pulled out the five thieves with the highest agility attributes from the two elite groups. In order to facilitate command, they were divided into numbers one to five.
Under my arrangement, they entered stealth mode, avoided the monsters' alert range, and quietly hid in different locations designated by me. At the same time, they also listened carefully to the detailed tasks I assigned in the channel.
Some of the desert monsters and sand creatures were moving around casually, unaware that a group of human adventurers were secretly keeping their eyes on them in the dark.
"Sisters, remember, after attracting attention, don't run away immediately. Just follow what I said and stay on the general route. These monsters are not fast, so you won't be in any danger as long as you are careful."
I reminded him in the channel.
"Could it be that Sister Xiaotong wants to lure out some of the monsters separately?" Meng Qingying saw the actions of the people in front of her, and she understood a little but was also a little confused. She thought, "But this kind of situation can easily lead to widespread hatred."
"I believe Tongtong." Shuiyan, who rarely speaks, said silently.
"Hmm, hookah?"
"Since she did this, it means she has the confidence." Red Rose smiled and explained for Shuiyan, looking like a mother proud of her child, "My little Tong never does anything that she is not sure of."
But despite saying so, she still cast a concerned look forward. After all, Red Rose was also very curious about what that little guy with some wild ideas in his head would do to her this time.
Chapter 65: Lighting up the mechanism
Seeing that the thieves were ready, I said, "Next, sisters, listen to my instructions."
The five thief girls took a deep breath and concentrated their minds. I also went into stealth mode and slowly groped my way towards the group of monsters wandering in front of me.
Aren’t there four thieves attacking together?
Red Rose and the others were surprised, as the development was somewhat different from what they had expected.
After approaching the monster group within twenty yards, I took out the crossbow from my backpack and carefully aimed at the few targets wandering around the outermost area.
It’s strange. Playing crossbow is similar to playing FPS games, so why is my record so miserable?
I inexplicably thought of this, but this extra thought did not have much impact. After seeing the predetermined target wandering to a similar route, my fingertips had already subconsciously pulled the trigger of the crossbow.
Whoosh whoosh.
The three arrows hit different targets respectively, attracting their hatred. One of the sand and stone puppets discovered the target first, took a step forward, and rushed towards where I was. The other two sand and stone creatures were not willing to lag behind.
Moreover, their actions attracted a large number of monsters around them.
I came out of stealth mode, but I didn't run away immediately. Instead, I faced the direction where the monsters were rushing and slipped into the gaps created by the difference in their speed.
Even Red Rose and others behind him did not expect this behavior.
Fortunately, although it seemed dangerous, I took advantage of my high agility and did not suffer many attacks from these slightly slow-moving monsters. I got out of the gap and used the crossbow to attract the attention of another group of monsters.
It attracted most of the monsters at the end of the alley. Even the two Fiery Sun Guards looked over and started chasing after it. However, due to the congestion of monsters, they fell behind for a while.
When I turned around and saw this scene, I immediately shouted in the team channel, "Number one, attack the leftmost row."
Number One, who was at the designated position, heard my order and without hesitation, raised the crossbow in his hand and shot multiple arrows.
As a member of the elite group, I naturally have the skills. These arrows all hit the monsters in the direction I mentioned without any omission.
The monster following behind me on the left was deflected and separated from the main group, rushing towards the thief. Number One remembered my previous arrangement and did not turn around and leave. Instead, he followed my example and headed towards the group of monsters.
Because most of the monsters were still targeting me, and her agility was also excellent, she managed to escape, and at the same time attracted the hatred of another small group of monsters.
As early as when the enemy entered the gap between the monsters, I was already counting the time in my mind, four seconds, five seconds, and after counting to six seconds, I spoke again in the channel, "Number two, attack the row on the far right."
The waiting thief No. 2 quickly raised his crossbow and pulled out the monster on one side again as before, but this time it was even easier because of the hatred between No. 1 and me. The monster's hatred was on different people, which made the team more chaotic and slowed down the process.
Next came No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5, so the elite group behind saw such a strange scene: the monster group was divided into five parts and was attracted alternately by the five thieves, and finally merged together along a specific trajectory, and then they were pulled back to the elite group behind.
At this time, I spoke again, but I didn't tell the thieves, but the dozen or so locals I pulled out at the beginning, "Sister Qingying, I leave it to you."
A dozen local magicians, including Meng Qingying, were still confused, but they still chanted magic spells according to the arrangement I said, or to be more precise, spells belonging to the same magic -
Barrier technique.
Similar to the Arcane Barrier of the Arcane Mage, it can create a rock barrier to isolate monsters, but it is slightly more fragile than the Arcane Barrier. After all, it is a low-level spell of level 20.
Although there are more advanced hard stone barriers, this was a deliberate arrangement by me, taking advantage of a relatively hidden feature of the barrier technique - if the local magic does not attack the monster and the monster's movement is not absolutely restricted, then these barriers will not attract the monster's hatred.
So after a dozen narrow earth walls rose up among the group of monsters, for a moment they seemed like qualified "guards", organizing the teams of monsters in an orderly manner. It was not until then that Meng Qingying and the others realized my true intention.
Because under this kind of induction, the group of monsters were magically arranged into a magical picture, with the two Sun Guards overlapping in the middle, which meant that only one boss could attack the player in front.
Most of the Sand and Stone Earthmen who were able to launch long-range attacks were isolated at the back of the team, while some in the middle area were directly blocked by the huge bodies of the Fiery Sun Guards and could not attack.
But this is obviously not enough, because even if the sand and stone earthmen on both sides fall to the back, they can still use long-range attacks to bring great defensive pressure to the front-row warriors, so at this time we have to use another skill of the earth magic.
After understanding my thoughts, Meng Qingying and the others took action again.
Ground Sinking Technique.
As the spell sounded, depressions appeared one after another behind the group of monsters. Combined with the existing high ground difference, almost all the sand and stone earthmen at the rear were buried. The obstructed vision shortened the attack distance, making it impossible to make effective attacks.
"So that's how it is. What a good idea."
When Red Rose saw this scene, she immediately gave orders to the elite group around her.
After being reminded by Red Rose, the stunned people in the front row, including Shuiyan, finally came to their senses and rushed forward to resist the monster.
The situation that originally required a great deal of energy to deal with now only requires blocking the monsters on both sides and solving the two bosses in the middle in order. With the front row guarding the pass, the back row does not need to control the output rhythm and can just use attack skills on the monsters' faces.
In less than half an hour, the elite team not only took care of the two Sun Guards, but also cleared out most of the other monsters. Only dozens of sand and stone creatures in the rear had not yet realized the situation and were resisting stubbornly.
So there is no doubt that the resistance of these monsters was quickly overwhelmed by the fierce attack of the elite group.
After the last sandstone puppet was defeated and turned into sand and soil and merged into the surface of the desert, accompanied by a rumbling sound, a shining sandstone pillar rose from the end of the alley.
"Sister Shisha, go and open that mechanism."
"Ah."
Hearing my voice, Shuiyan simply responded, then came to the sandstone pillar and pressed her hand on the mark on the surface.
As the mark lit up, a ray of light flowed down from the top of the gravel pillar and quickly merged into the gravel ground.
The people behind me, including Red Rose and Meng Qingying, looked at me curiously, wanting to see what I would do next. After all, they had tried many times and had not found a way to use this mechanism.
Meng Qingying, in particular, originally thought that Red Rose and the others were exaggerating about the child they often mentioned, but after this incident, she realized that they were not exaggerating.
She had seen many people, but she had never seen a child as smart, mature, and quick-witted as this one. Especially after the first glimpse, she was completely convinced after having a deeper impression of him.
However, to their surprise, after the sandstone pillars were lit up, not only did I not take any action, but I also called on everyone to return the same way and set off towards another road.
Chapter 66: Sandstone Sacred Armor Beast
"Xiaotong, we have tried it. The mechanism on the left cannot open the barrier on the right."
"Yeah, I've tried it several times and it didn't work."
There were doubtful voices from the members of the elite group. Or rather, it was not just them, Red Rose and Meng Qingying were also a little confused.
"Is there some hidden mechanism on the road to the right?"
However, I rejected their speculation, "Nothing, we have finished our work here for the time being, we just need to go there and wait for the barrier to open."
After hearing what I said, everyone's doubts not only did not subside, but became even more severe.
After all, they had done it this way before, even if they didn't use my simple method to deal with the monsters on the left lane, but at least the process was exactly the same. And they had experienced it themselves, and couldn't use this process to break through the barrier.
I stuck out my tongue. "What I meant is that we have finished our work for now, and we need help from the other side for the rest."
"the other side?"
"You'll find out later."
After saying that, I ignored the confused looks on everyone's faces, and led the elite group back to the alley on the right, while contacting Dolan and others in the next copy.
"You guys are pretty quick."
After learning from me that we had opened up the alley on the left, Dolan and Hong Shanhu were a little surprised, but not too surprised. After all, after so many times of cooperation, they have already experienced my methods.
Perhaps there was also the reason that they were helpless against the Sandstone Holy Armor Beast that had stopped the elite group for nearly half an hour. But soon, this helplessness turned into hope.
"Let Sister Yuanye and the others sneak around the BOSS..."
I made detailed arrangements to Dolan and others in the channel.
After hearing what I said, Dolan took action without hesitation. He asked Yuanye Eleven to sneak over with the thieves whose agility exceeded 300, and at the same time, he ordered the front-line professions to charge forward to attract the hatred of the Sandstone Holy Armor Beast.
Teased by the little bug that turned back several times in front of it, the Sand and Stone Holy Armor Beast roared angrily and took another step, rumbling through the narrow road and charging towards the dozen or so players.
ridicule.
Those warriors and paladins quickly took up defensive postures and used their skills to temporarily draw the hatred of the Sandstone Holy Armor Beast. Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, Yuanye Eleven and others who had been waiting nearby immediately emerged from stealth.
Although the Sand and Gravel Holy Armor Beast was huge and occupied the road, it did not completely occupy it. There were still some gaps on both sides. Yuanye Eleven and the others passed through these gaps and rushed towards the back of the Holy Armor Beast.
With his powerful agility, he instantly crossed a distance of more than ten yards and then turned quickly.
"Xiao Yuan, there." A rather mature and tall thief noticed that five shining crystals appeared at the limbs and the center of the body of the Sandstone Holy Armor Beast.
Yuanye Eleven was also very observant and instantly discovered the existence of these crystals. "Ah, they are real."
The reason why they were a little surprised was that the elite group had thought about starting from behind the Sand and Stone Holy Armor Beast several times before. Perhaps there was a special mechanism at the back, or there was a weakness behind the Holy Armor Beast, but in the end they all returned empty-handed.
At this moment, everything was clearly following the previous process, but there was such a change, which really made people curious.
"Be careful of this big guy's skills."
However, Yuanye Eleven also knew his purpose at the moment, and temporarily put aside the doubts in his head. He used the skill of instant step and said, "Sister Momo, you guys help stop the monsters around. Xiaoyue, let's attack together."
Because just after they broke through the defense line of the Sand and Stone Holy Armor Beast, the Sand and Stone Holy Armor Beast, which was unable to turn around, stomped on the ground with great force. Along with the invisible impact brought by this trampling, dozens of Sand and Stone Golden Armor Beasts as high as level 75 broke out of the ground and surrounded Yuanye Eleven and others.
"receive."
However, with agility over 300, how could the skills be so weak? Several thieves reacted very quickly and used their skills to avoid the stun effect of being trampled, while coordinating with each other.
The six thieves fended off the golden armored beast that was charging towards them, while Yuanye Eleven and the thief named Xiaoyue immediately took out crossbows from their backpacks and aimed at the location of the five crystals.
Whoosh whoosh.
Several crossbow arrows shot out.
The crystals were very fragile and could be completely destroyed by just two or three attacks. Coupled with the excellent hit rate of Yuanye Eleven and Xiaoyue, the five crystals were all shattered in less than a few minutes.
Roar--
As the five cores shattered, the Sand and Stone Holy Armor Beast let out a mournful cry. The sand and soil on its body flowed away violently, and in a moment it had shrunk to half its original size.
Not only that, the front row who were originally bearing the attack of the Sand and Stone Holy Armor Beast also made an important discovery.
"Hey, I'm actually moved!"
"And its defense is a bit low. I can deal close to three-digit damage."
Noticing the commotion ahead, even Dolan and Hong Shanhu couldn't help but get excited, and quickly ordered the elite members around them to attack them.
The defense of the shrunken Sand and Stone Holy Armor Beast was much weaker than that of an ordinary boss. Within ten minutes, it turned into broken sand and stone and fell down with a loud bang, leaving only a pile of glowing dropped items on the ground.
After letting Yuanye Eleven and the others pick up the spoils, Duolan was a little confused, but couldn't help asking, "What should we do next?"
After all, they had been stuck here for several days, and now that they had suddenly broken through, they were indeed a little uncomfortable, or at a loss.
I smiled slightly from far away in another instance, "The five crystals should be among the dropped items. Install these crystals into the grooves of the stone pillars in front of the road."
Sure enough, after hearing what I said, Yuanye Eleven and others also found those broken crystals under the body of the Sand and Stone Holy Armor Beast.
I just thought that there would be special circumstances regarding the stone pillar I mentioned, but when Dolan and Hong Shanhu arrived with the elite team, they found that there were no monsters around that needed to be dealt with, and there were no obstacles ahead.
It seems that there is no need to use the stone pillars to open any mechanism, but since I said so, there must be some reason. With this idea in mind, Dolan and the others installed the broken crystals one by one into the five grooves of the stone pillars.
shhhhh--
When it was embedded in the groove, a faint light emerged from the stone pillar, as if an unknown force emerged and magically repaired the broken crystals. Then, a burst of light emerged again and flowed quickly from the top to the ground.
After waiting for a long time and still no movement, Dolan and Hong Shanhu couldn't help but feel very confused. When they were about to ask in the channel, they noticed the exclamations in the team channel.
There was no movement on their side, but on the other side, they had already cleared the monsters on the road and arrived at the end of the alley on the right.
The many members of the First and Second Groups, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the barrier that had troubled them for a long time slowly dissipate, revealing the spacious road and magnificent buildings behind it.
Chapter 67: Collaborative Instance
The so-called collaborative copy is a very special copy. As the name suggests, it often requires cooperation between two or more copies to move forward continuously.
