Another knight player also rushed forward, pushing a small monster into a crevice in the rocks.
But despite the fine manipulation.
There was still a gap between him and professional players like Su Mu Cheng and Huang Shao Tian.
Soon, he was hit...
For professional players tackling this BOSS, the probability of taking damage is absolutely no more than 20%.
While these guild members could only withstand the damage and continue to complete their objective.
As long as they don't die before they start fighting the BOSS!
As time ticked by, second by second.
From over one hundred small monsters, they started to decrease one by one.
The eight-minute mark was getting closer.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump—
The entire screen trembled slightly with those heavy footsteps.
Obviously......
The Zombie BOSS was here!
...
...
Between the two forests.
A huge, axe-wielding zombie stepped into view, slowly approaching.
Each step felt heavy, a palpable pressure on everyone.
"I'll go tank the BOSS, you guys continue to push the small monsters," Guan Shan Yue said.
"Yes."
"Understood."
Tian Wei Liang, the Assassin, immediately charged out.
Facing the sparse line of Skeleton Archers shooting at him, he easily dodged all the attacks with precise movement.
As he passed by.
Puchi.
He slashed the Skeleton Archer's throat, taking it down.
Immediately causing the members of the Ba Tu Guild to be stunned.
"Holy crap!"
"Even some pro players can't do that Z-shaped dodging?"
"Guild Leader, what's Z-shaped dodging?"
"A directional change during movement, move left, move right, while also continuing to move forward."
"When done too quickly, the movement range becomes very small, the character makes a sudden change in direction in an instant, and it doesn't look like moving, it just looks like a little shake."
"Brother Tian Wei Liang, this is a real pro..."
"It looks so cool."
"And, he's moving around, slashing at the Skeleton Archers and killing them in place, without slowing down, it's so unbelievable..."
...
...
"Roar————"
When Guan Shan Yue reached five meters from the Zombie BOSS, he realized just how big this BOSS was.
That gaping, tooth-filled maw, with eyes that looked like they would pop out, along with its entire body, almost took up the entire screen.
Its attack range was also incredibly long.
After a roar, it swung its axe at Tian Wei Liang.
The ground shook again.
After dodging.
Tian Wei Liang rolled and moved closer to the zombie.
The Zombie BOSS was still quite intelligent, it did a 180-degree sweep, directly throwing the just-rising Tian Wei Liang off his feet, dealing 15% of his HP.
While it's slow, it's not easy for a single person to take it down.
Guan Shan Yue didn't even bother to try and deal any damage, and started to engage in a dance with the zombie.
At the same time, he took a glance at the time...
"It's 9 minutes and 30 seconds already, haven't you guys cleared the small monsters yet?"
...
...
"Big Brother, I have five left, estimated 20 seconds."
"Big Brother, I still have a dozen left, estimated one minute."
"..."
The gap was truly apparent.
He was taking them down one by one, it was unclear how many he'd already cleared for them, yet they were still going over time, with no end in sight.
Ye Du Han Tan was anxiously urging them to speed up in the back.
Finally......
At 10 minutes and 8 seconds.
The Knight and the Gunner finally finished and rushed over.
"I'll go grab aggro first, Knight, pay attention to the timing of the push, Gunner, pay attention to pre-emptive strikes...Let's kill it!"
With a command.
Guan Shan Yue rushed forward to grab aggro.
With a slide tackle.
The field BOSS swung its axe, missing completely.
The Knight directly launched a charge skill at the BOSS.
Boom.
After colliding, the Knight and the BOSS moved forward together in a straight line.
The first wave of cooperation was quite perfect.
The Knight actually pushed the BOSS right in front of Tian Wei Liang, with its back to him.
And Tian Wei Liang was not at all polite.
A jump slash, knocking the BOSS into the air.
He directly unleashed a practiced "Slit Throat" + "Assassin's Art.".
The BOSS's HP instantly dropped by 15%.
Even if it was only 15%, it was still very satisfying.
This BOSS was known for its high health and high defense.
Boom——
The Gunner fired.
Bang!
The first shot hit directly.
Pulling the aggro of the BOSS.
...
...
It wasn't so easy after that.
Everyone's skills were on cooldown.
They continued to engage with the BOSS.
At 11 minutes and 30 seconds.
The Battle Mage and the Swordsman finally arrived.
Now things became much easier.
"Cooperate a little better, use your stuns and knock-ups in turns, try to give me as many opportunities to attack the BOSS," Guan Shan Yue said.
"Yes."
"Understood."
The Battle Mage found their chance.
A level 5 skill, "Dragon Tooth," a direct piercing attack, stunning the BOSS for one second.
Guan Shan Yue did not disappoint them.
Puchi.
A strike in the back.
Without the "Slit Throat" skill, it only took away 8% of its HP.
Then.
The Swordsman followed with a "Back-Uppercut" knock-up.
"What are you, stupid?" Ye Du Han Tan yelled.
However.
Before he finished scolding.
Tian Wei Liang, the Assassin, jumped, then jumped again in midair, directly surpassing the height of the knocked-up BOSS.
Another "Slit Throat" + "Assassin's Art."
"Holy crap!"
"You're amazing, Big Brother!"
"He actually dared to do that."
"Normal people can't even figure out where to jump after two jumps, how did he time it so precisely?"
"He's really got the skills and the guts!"
"No matter how tricky the angle, as long as there's a backstab opportunity..."
"This Assassin is terrifying."
...
...
14 minutes and 5 seconds.
The Zombie BOSS fell to the ground, a tomb appeared on its body, emitting a glow, waiting for three seconds before it resurrected in place.
Everyone took a look at the time.
They all felt a little anxious.
"I don't think we can do it."
"The BOSS appeared eight minutes ago, it's been six minutes already."
"There's only two minutes left..."
"We're done for, we're done for!"
"Big Brother, can we really still make it?"
...
...
"Don't look at the time, just cooperate with me fully, let me do the damage," Guan Shan Yue said.
"Roar————"
The BOSS zombie was ferocious and menacing as it resurrected.
But it looked rather pathetic.
As soon as it stood up, it was hit with Tian Wei Liang's "Slit Throat" + "Assassin's Art."
The Gunner fired a level 10 skill......
Gatling Gun: Five rounds of cannon fire in a straight line.
The Battle Mage landed a "Dragon Tooth," knocking the BOSS into the air.
Guan Shan Yue backstabbed and used basic attacks.
Followed by the Swordsman's follow-up judgement.
This second round of cooperation was clearly better than the first.
The most important thing was that these guild members were significantly better than the members of the Death Heatwave Guild.
With a little grinding, they could be a team.
"The dungeon record is 16 minutes and 24 seconds, ten seconds left on the timer."
"The BOSS has 18% HP left."
"Eight seconds."
"Seven seconds."
All the members of the Ba Tu Guild standing in the back counted down in unison, extremely nervous.
Ye Du Han Tan clenched his fists, his breathing becoming heavy.
He was desperate to slap Jun Mo Xie in the face!
"Six seconds."
"Five seconds."
"The BOSS has 12% HP left."
"We're not doing enough damage, Big Brother, is your "Slit Throat" cooldown ready yet?"
"Three."
"Two."
Puchi——!
"One."
11%→0%
Before the countdown reached one, Tian Wei Liang, the Assassin, with one "Slit Throat" + "Assassin's Art," emptied the Zombie BOSS's HP.
The screen froze!
...
...
