“It seems our audience is quite enthusiastic,” KB noted.

Xiaoze chuckled, “Mainly, it’s because Prairie Fire is so impressive. Not just the audience, even I was completely engrossed. I almost forget I was supposed to be commentating if you hadn’t kept chatting to me.”

“Yes, Prairie Fire really is impressive. Just like before, every time I think I know his limits, he always surprises us by coming up with solutions from unexpected angles,” KB admitted sincerely.

“Exactly. Having been a professional player yourself, KB, how do you think Prairie Fire would do if he decided to go pro?” Xiaoze asked.

“Honestly, I didn’t believe in him at first. It’s nothing personal against Prairie Fire, it’s just that everyone knows, the Hunter class isn’t for mediocre players, it’s just that current players can’t master it. It’s evident from the fact that guilds and teams don’t put Hunters on the field,” KB explained, taking a breath.

“But as everyone saw today, Prairie Fire has top-tier ability and technique. Among the ten players earlier, there were professional team players. What’s even more impressive is his out-of-the-box thought process. It never fails to amaze, it’s like it opens a new world.”

“So what you’re saying is, you believe Prairie Fire is qualified to join a professional team?” Xiaoze continued.

“Absolutely. Believe me, after the carnival, various clubs and guilds will definitely try their best to recruit him, even at high prices. A new leader of Hunters has emerged. Although not everybody recognizes him yet, I believe soon, he will be the one leading Hunters,” KB predicted.

Hearing KB’s assessment, the audience’s excitement escalated, although he’d retired, his words still carried weight, many believed in his judgment.

They looked up at Li Yao on the screen. Even though many couldn’t reach his level, it was a great sense of achievement to watch the rise of an elite player.

At this point, around thirty players had gathered around Li Yao and his party. They’d seen their strength and joined in on hearing their plans.

Everyone talked and agreed upon some rules. They would protect and monitor each other, and decide who was going first to fight the boss by rolling dice.

After all, the boss was unfamiliar to them, and many weren’t keen to be the first to start.

The one with the lowest number would go first, a method that everyone agreed with.

After all, they had five revival chances. Even if luck turned out bad and got a

low number, dying once wouldn’t have a big impact, especially with a Priest there, who could resurrect instantly, lose an opportunity but get to watch others and gain experience immediately.

Rolling the dice, or ‘roll points’, had a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 100.

The thirty-odd players each tossed their dice, after many rounds, the order was finally settled.

Li Yao’s luck was neither good nor bad, he was somewhere in the middle, with over twenty players ahead of him.

“Big brother, how’s it going over there?” Daimeng Tongtong pinged him.

“We’re good over here, found a safe Trial Ground. How about you?” Li Yao and his team provided their coordinates. However, they were too far to meet up.

“We’re good too, we found a peaceful riverbank, lots of capybaras. Da Vinci and Sister Xiayao are both here, watching others fight capybaras,” Daimeng Tongtong reported.

“Mmm, are you confident?” Li Yao asked, concerned because Daimeng Tongtong was still young.

Daimeng Tongtong giggled, “I was confident at first, now I’m not so sure. The capybaras look so cute but they’re so tough when they fight! Rolling, fleeing, uprooting trees and throwing them, so naughty! Lots of elite players already died, it’s hilarious!”

“Take this seriously, try to pass the first trial. There’s a reward for passing trials, don’t take it lightly,” Li Yao advised.

“There’s a reward? Why didn’t those Generals say so?” Daimeng Tongtong was curious.

“How can you be so silly, of course there are rewards in an elite trial! Just focus on watching the capybara’s abilities and movements, it’s a pretty dumb creature. It’s not hard to kill once you get familiar with it.”

Li Yao reminded her again and added some points to be careful of before ending the private chat.

Li Yao knew well that being an elite doesn’t make one invincible. The key lies in individual skill. The first wave of trials would basically weed out those players who got lucky and became elites.

The players at Li Yao’s location began trying, too.

The first to step up was a Mage. Judging by his robe, he was an Arcane specialist.

Arcane Mages are like spell machine guns, and with his acquired elite legacy, he took the machine gun to the extreme.

Even when he was moving quickly or using Blink, the Arcane barrage never stopped.

Although they couldn’t see the boss’s health, it must have been decreasing rapidly.

Just as the players began to think the boss wasn’t that bad, the Earth Dragon suddenly burrowed into the ground while the Mage stood puzzled. The Earth Dragon violently burst out from beneath him, its sharp horn penetrating him from beneath.

Everyone watching tensed up as a piercing scream echoed, followed by the Mage’s soul transforming into white light and dispersing.

When the Priest used the Resurrection Technique to resurrect the Mage, his face was as pale as ever and his lips were still trembling.

In fact, not just him, all viewers felt a chill, especially when they saw his condition after being resurrected. It was clear that the experience wasn’t at all pleasant.

The second unlucky player was a Warlock girl who paled at the sight. Just when everyone thought she would give up, she pressed her lips together and walked towards the boss.

She was a Demon Art specialist. Her elite class could summon elite-level Demons and allowed her to transform into one.

However, she lacked mobility skills. An elite demon couldn’t withstand even two attacks from the Earth Dragon.

The outcome played out as predicted. Despite her preparedness and attempt to roll out of the way, she still got impaled in the abdomen by the horn and died a gruesome death.

A few players fell one after the other, dying horribly but also accumulating much experience for the subsequent players.

The tenth user was a true Shield Warrior, wielding two shields. These shields were both his defense and his weapon.

This was a specialized elite class that sacrificed some attack power for higher health, defense, and damage mitigation.

He circled around the Earth Dragon constantly, and its normal attacks could hardly break his defense.

However, the Earth Dragon suddenly dashed away. The Shield Warrior avoided it quickly, only for the Dragon to dash back with an even higher speed after half a circle.

The earth trembled in response. The Shield Warrior’s face changed. At this high speed, falling or rolling would mean certain death under the Dragon’s crushing weight.

He drove his two shields into the ground with all his might, a shadowy ring of shields forming around him.. He prepared to confront the Dragon’s onslaught with his shield…
