Chapter 118: Mid-Air Coordination

Start!

Lord Grim led the way forward. He was the main force for pulling monsters. At the start, the four monsters were pulled in the same way. Except this time, once Lord Grim alarmed the four monsters, Soft Mist immediately went up. She quickly rushed towards the position Ye Xiu indicated for her to go to. A Falling Flower Palm into a knock-up into a Dragon Tooth and the four monsters flew backwards all together.

Lord Grim used a Shadow Clone Technique. This time, he didn't head towards Soft Mist's position. Instead, he directly flashed over to where the four monsters flew to. Cleansing Mist, Steamed Bun Invasion, and Hateful Sword had already rushed towards that direction when Lord Grim was pulling the monsters. They swiftly hit the monsters into the stone crack. The zombie was in the very back and the three skeletons were in the front. Sword, lance, cannon, brick, all wildly greeted them.

In a short moment, the first monster at the head was killed and the second skeleton went up. When killing the first skeleton, all of their AoE skills were sent out. So when the second skeleton came out, its life wasn't full. After a few rounds of attacks, it also fell. The third skeleton went up and came out even weaker than the second. In just one round of the five players' combined attacks, the skeleton was blasted into a pile of shattered bones.

The three piles of shattered bones piled on top of each other and the fourth zombie monster bore its teeth and brandished its claws, trying to tear them apart. But the five players had already ran off and vanished.

Ye Xiu's so-called new strategy built upon the basis of going around monsters by increasing the number of stuck monsters.

Under normal circumstances, the stuck monster were there in order to pursue dependability. But strategies that pursued safety couldn't be considered when pursuing efficiency. Ye Xiu's method of getting a monster stuck in Boneyard directly trapped it so that they wouldn't need to kill it. This naturally saved a lot of time.

But for a record-setting party, they couldn't slowly and unhurriedly keep trying to trap it. They had to use the shortest amount of time to trap it on their first try.

For the first wave of four monsters, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim could successfully trap one by himself. However, it would be far slower than the five of them coordinating together. In terms of damage output, they were even more incomparable.

Perfect and careful coordination, perhaps wasn't necessary for success, but it was necessary for efficiency.

However, there was one place where they needed coordination to succeed. This was also one of the difficult parts of the strategy. Over the course of the five player's practice, they had always made mistakes over the course of their practice. To this day, not a single perfect run had been achieved.

When Liu Hao compared the old and new strategy, he calculated that the new strategy would be able to avoid a total of 21 monsters, while the old strategy avoided only 12 monsters, a difference of 9 monsters.

However, the monsters weren't the only ones that could be avoided. In reality, with Ye Xiu's researched strategy, they could even avoid a BOSS.

The second BOSS, Zombie Bailey.

Zombie Bailey moved slowly, but had matchless strength. Players hit by it had an extremely high chance of being hit back and being infected by the Zombie Virus. Moreover, this Zombie Virus could be transmitted between players.

It sounded scary, but in reality, this BOSS wasn't difficult to beat. The infection speed of the Zombie Virus wasn't fast and it didn't do a lot of damage. If a party had a Cleric with decent equipment, as long as the party knew who had the Virus, the Cleric could stop the infection. For top-tier experts like Ye Xiu, who didn't need Clerics, they were confident that they wouldn't be hit by the slow-moving BOSS.
