Seeing the patrolling arcane guard about to turn around, Li Yao hastily pulled a peculiar rope from his backpack. It was dotted with a dead knot at regular intervals.

He swiftly tied the rope around a stone column resembling a statue, promptly fetching out a second, and then a third. Only when the third line of rope ladder was dangling from the column did Li Yao swiftly return to the second dome above via the rope bridge linking the second dome to the third platform.

At this very moment, the patrolling elite were almost on the perimeter.

Li Yao also retreated, flying back a good forty yards, then abruptly turned around.

Boom…

With the sound of piercing through metal, Li Yao reeled his crossbow and clutched at dear life.

Much like a replay of the last time, the arcane guard was pulled down by a tremendous force, plummeting and turning into experience for four people. Li Yao, in a blink of an eye, held onto the three rope ladders. Without sounding the slightest bit hazardous, he hung securely on the rope ladders.

Having climbed onto the platform. Li Yao proceeded back to the second platform’s dome via the rope bridge. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, as if they were instances of countless rehearsals, completely devoid of amateurs collisions.

“Boss Dondondon, your blue equipment dropped.” Shadow Dance’s voice came from below, swamped with bitter frustration from picking up the equipment.

“Snort, you don’t have a clue, it’s merely blue equipment, trivial stuff.” Dondondon muttered in a dismissive tone, but her slightly curling lips betrayed her.

The TV station.

Watching each elite getting pulled down by Li Yao in the same manner, Tian Na sighed, remarking: “It’s incredible. Even as a layman, I can spot the pattern.”

KB nodded and said: “The same operation is repeated dozens of times without a single error. He’s a really terrifying individual. But why did he choose to be a Hunter? If only he hadn’t chosen the profession of summoner or hunter, he could definitely have made quite the impact in a team after joining. What a pity.’

“Other guilds have received ready-made strategies, but they can’t get to the second platform. Currently, only a few guilds occasionally succeed in working together, knocking off the elites from the platform. But they can’t do it without a mistake dozens of times. Upon seeing the battle reports of those big guilds, I finally understood how hard their combined efforts were.” Tian Na glanced at the statistics and continued: “Currently, only about ten guild teams have cleared the second platform by one-third. There’s still a long way to go.”

“As expected from the big guilds, they’ll succeed soon.” KB sighed in admiration.

Each guild does not lack high-end players. Although the game just started and their thinking isn’t broadened yet, their skill isn’t even refined. As long as the top players put effort into it, they can quickly break through to the second platform.

“Prairie Fire is leading by so much, these guilds can’t even claim the first-kill for pioneering. Why would they continue when they are incurring such heavy losses?” Tian Na asked in confusion.

“Pioneering competition?” KB shook his head and replied, “Do you really think these guilds care about pioneering competitions? Absolutely not.”

“Then I’m even more confused. Stop beating around the bush and give your analysis to our viewer friends.”

“From the moment Prairie Fire started pioneering the level-10 dungeon, this pioneering competition has lost its meaning. It was bound to be a personal show by the Prairie Squad.” KB sighed: “Especially after the Prairie Squad successfully pioneered the first boss, displaying great flexibility. More importantly, the few pieces of equipment they got are powerful purple equipment. For all these various temptations, the various guilds will not give up. According to the game rules, today’s dungeon pioneered by the Prairie Squad can only become a repeatable dungeon at the earliest tomorrow.”

“This means that they still have plenty of time to kill the boss and get a similar wild boss drop. If it becomes a dungeon, the drop from the monster and boss will be downgraded one level because it is a mere side dungeon made mainly for buffering and transitioning.”

Tian Na finally understood, confessed: “So it’s all for the purple equipment. No wonder they are fighting so hard.”

“For players right now, purple equipment is like a divine artifact. As long as there is no crippling loss, the guilds are willing to endure it.” KB stared at the screen:” “Look, the third platform has been cleared out. Prairie Fire is carefully climbing the stairs. Oh, it turns out there’s a small hall on the stairs, and the boss is in the hall.”

“How are these elites dealt with then?” Tian Na asked.

KB said: “It seems like Prairie Fire wants to enlist the help of his teammates. This time he let Xiayao come to the third platform along the rope bridge. He also summoned an arcane guard, no, it’s an undead. It looks like they want to use the boss to deal with the elites.’

“No, the undead didn’t move. It flashed behind the corner of the column. Why did Prairie Fire run up the steps by himself?” Tian Na was confused.

“Wait, Prairie Fire wants to aggro, but what’s the point of that?” KB too was confused. He had also thought that Li Yao wanted to use the undead arcane guardian leader to clear the elites near the hall up the stairs.

Li Yao ascended the high steps, appraised the patrolling elites roaming inside the hall, and then shot out an arrow with his heavy crossbow.

The startled arcane guardian saw Li Yao, lifting his left arm, a flash of arcane light shone, and a magic bullet flew towards Li Yao.

Li Yao used a backward jumping skill, his backward motion matching the speed of the magic bullet, allowing him to land safely. The magic bullet flew over his head.

Bang bang…

The arcane guard, stepping heavily, was led over by Li Yao. Seeing the arcane guard reach the steps, Li Yao shot another arrow, pulling aggro.

With a few quick Shadow Rolls to create distance, he swiftly turned his head and sprinted. The arcane guard had exhausted his only ranged skill and posed no threat as long as he was not allowed to get close.

Li Yao leisurely notched a bolt with a rope to his crossbow and swung along the edge of the rope ladder, revealing only his head.

Simultaneously, one hand rested the crossbow on the platform and started adjusting the angle.

As the arcane guard reached the edge of the platform, Li Yao pressed the trigger. The steel arrow again penetrated the crepice of the arcane guard. And Li Yao fiercely grabbed the rope.

And from the other end of the column, Qin Feng commanded her undead arcane guard leader to charge forth and trigger an arcane explosion.

Boom…

A shockwave radiated outward. The body of the undead arcane guardian leader collided with the back of the elite arcane guard.

With the force from Li Yao’s pull and the undead arcane guardian leader’s collision, the arcane guard elite tumbled down from the platform.

“Beautiful.” KB clapped excitedly, “Pull the elite over, Prairie Fire wouldn’t have time to return to the dome atop the second platform. However, the force from falling alone is insufficient to pull the elite off the platform. And with Xiayao’s new pet pushing from behind, they perfectly cleared the elite in tandem. It’s many times more efficient than a head-on fight.”

“This is truly amazing. He is leveraging the resources at his disposal to the extreme.” Tian Na also exclaimed excitedly: “Now that the elites are getting cleared, only the last boss remains. What do you think?”

KB was not to be fooled again, cautiously declared: “All I can say is, this boss is an intelligent humanoid boss. It won’t fall for the old tricks. Moreover, it’s a level-12 boss. I really can’t think of a solution. But Prairie Fire is still clearing the elites, maybe he has a plan.”

Tian Na laughed: “It seems you’re already prepared to proclaim him the winner.”

KB started staring at the ceiling, as if something there had caught his interest….
