Chapter 17: Emperor (2)

Editor: GravityTales

"No problem!!" Seven Fields and the others almost didn't think about the proposal before agreeing. At this moment, the value of this expert had already surpassed those precious drops from the hidden BOSS. They were more worried about finding a way to express their good will. Who would have thought that this expert would come up with this demand? That was truly a relief. Even if he wanted all of the drops, Seven Fields and the others wouldn't hesitate to agree either.

In addition, Seven Fields, this guy, wanted to express his goodwill even further. He turned around and said: "Little Moon Moon. Give the party leader over to brother expert!"

"If you say that again, I'm going to kill you!" Sleeping Moon grinded his teeth.

"Ha ha. Isn't it cute? Why don't you like it?" Seven Fields laughed, but he didn't joke too excessively and immediately followed up: "If you don't want me to call you that, then I won't call you that! Give the party leader position to brother expert."

Sleeping Moon understood his meaning. By giving him the party leader position and then letting him set up the party, they would thoroughly dispel all of his doubts towards them. He would then have complete trust between them. Reaching this step, Sleeping Moon finally understand at last. Stolord didn't need any plots. If he really wanted everything, then with just a word, his three brothers would have no complaints. Sleeping Moon had no other choice, so he transferred the position to him.

In the end, Stolord didn't make any changes and only said "Let's continue", so he continued to lead everyone.

Their killing method didn't change and everything proceeded without a hitch. Ahead, a fork appeared on the main road of the Spider Cave. Everyone knew which one of the roads led to the Spider Emperor's den. Stolord didn't hesitate and directly headed towards the Spider Emperor. The four others followed closely behind.

This side road wouldn't appear in the normal dungeon. On the way, there were a few spider eggs. When the players moved close to them, they began hatching. Extremely small spiders jumped out and attacked the players. Their damage wasn't high, but they were small and nimble, not easy to hit. The four players opened their eyes wide until they almost popped out. It would basically take three to five strikes to hit it once. But for Stolord, with a just a lift of his Parasol, he would hit one after another without fail, cleaning them up rapidly. Seeing that the four others were having trouble, he turned around to provide assistance. The four others all held their breath. Without this person, although they could've reached the Spider Emperor, this road would've taken them an hour.

"Do you think we'll be the first ones to kill the Spider Emperor?" Drifting Water looked forward to the future.

"This depends on our luck. We won't know if we'll meet it early enough." Seven Fields said.

"We were the first ones to clear it, meaning we were the earliest to go into the Spider Cave the second time. Our speed wasn't slow either. Now this is our third round and there hasn't been an announcement for it yet. I feel that our chances are good." Drifting Water analyzed.

"Without strength, even if we met the Spider Emperor, we wouldn't dare to kill it!" Sunset Clouds sighed.

"Luckily we have brother expert." Seven Fields said.

"Right right right." Those two parroted.

"You guys make me sick" Sleeping Moon exceptionally disdained upon how these three were always trying to curry favor with Stolord. He wasn't scared of Stolord hearing of it either.

The three players all felt embarrassed and became somewhat angry towards Sleeping Moon. As for their previous hostility, that fellow was also in the wrong, why couldn't he just move back a step? Seven Fields once again sent Sleeping Moon a private message to educate him. Sleeping Moon obviously couldn't reason over Seven Fields. In the end, he could only show off a "I'm not feeling well anyways" attitude. Seven Fields was getting impatient too. When Sleeping Moon said he wasn't feeling well, Seven Fields told him to just leave the dungeon and get out! And stop causing trouble for them.

Sleeping Moon felt sad and wronged. Did the time finally arrive for those peasants to leave him for the expert?

"We're here." Ye Xiu continued to be at the very front. Seeing that there was another cave in the Spider Cave, he knew that this was the Spider Emperor's den.

"How do we kill it?" Seven Fields asked.

"You guys wait a bit. I'm going to go look up a guide." Ye Xiu said.

The four others immediately went into chaos. What was this situation? To look up a guide when they reached a crisis, what was this sort of last-minute preparation?

"Brother expert, you..." Seven Fields didn't know how convey it. In the end, he saw that Stolord just stood there without any response. He really did go out of the game to look up a guide. The four were at a loss! They had already judged him as an ultra-high level expert, but how could this sort of thing happen to such an expert?

"Could it be… … he switched with someone else?" Seven Fields guessed an idea that caused everyone to be alarmed.

"As I said before! How could such an awesome expert not stay in the heavenly domain! Why would he be here alone in this new server!?" Drifting Water said.

"F*ck, it was a true expert that helped play with us, but now that a fake expert's switched in? Wouldn't he have to run off and look at a guide?" Sunset Clouds said.

Brother expert, how could you just abandon us like this? Couldn't you have at least helped us clear the dungeon!? Tears streamed down the three player's cheeks. Sleeping Moon hadn't uttered a word, but he suddenly had another guess. This person had acted so calmly and without a reaction towards him. Didn't he have the same personality as the person he had met when they first bumped into each other?

Right when he couldn't free himself this type of difficult situation. Ye Xiu had already finished the guide and returned.

"Okay." Ye Xiu said.

"Brother expert… … you … …haven't switched players have you?" Seven Fields carefully asked.

"Switched players?" Ye Xiu didn't understand.

"Has this account been played by you the entire time?" Seven Fields asked.

"Yup!" Ye Xiu said.

"Then I don't really understand. Why would such an amazing expert need to look at a guide? Seven Fields said.

"I haven't done this dungeon in so many years. If I didn't look at a guide, I wouldn't remember how to beat it." Ye Xiu said.

"Then before… …"

"I had also looked up a guide!" Ye Xiu said.

The four players were dumbstruck.

"When?" Seven Fields asked.

"After learning skills, I glimpsed at a few. But they were too long, I hadn't read up to the hidden BOSS." Ye Xiu said.

The four continued to be puzzled. They had all studied a Spider Cave guide beforehand. But there was no guide that was similar to how Stolord commanded. What guide did he look at?

Ye Xiu had already begun explaining how to fight the Spider Emperor: "Just a moment ago, I looked at the Spider Emperor's description. To confront him, we can still use the same strategy as we did against the web-spitting one. After surrounding it, we chain-stun it. But here's the difficult part, the Spider Emperor will keep on spawning spider eggs, which can't be interrupted by any skill or effect. The spawned spider will be similar to the ones in the passageway, but their bites will cause a three second Stasis. Everyone knows about the Stasis status effect right? You cannot move or attack, but you can't be hurt either. Although there won't be any damage, it'll break up our formation. So we definitely can't be bitten by those small spiders."

"Then what should we do" Seven Fields asked.

"Let me be in charge of clearing these small spiders. Don't worry about them. So the hardest part will be whether the four of you can continuously chain-stun the Spider Emperor until its death."

"This is the strategy from the guide?" Seven Fields and the others weren't new players. The guides they had seen didn't have this sort of strategy. If there was such a guide, then it would definitely be criticized until there were cuts and bruises all over. Why? Because this could only be done in theory. Four people continuously chain-stunning the Spider Emperor was still reasonable. But to rely on a single person to cleanly kill off all of the small spiders, who would dare to ensure that he wouldn't make a single mistake?

If there was even a single small spider that escaped and bit at any one of the four, then the formation would be interrupted. The Spider Emperor could fly up in the air, drill into the ground, spit webs that pulled them, and spray poison mist. Of all of the hidden BOSSes, it was the strongest. If the four surrounded it and then suddenly, an opportunity to retaliate appeared, then all of them could just die on the spot.

"What do you think? Can you guys do it?" Yet Ye Xiu still asked.

"Hey hey, isn't this a problem that we should be asking you? Can you guarantee that not a single spider will leak out?" Sleeping Moon said.

"Of course. That's why the crucial point is you guys. Four people surrounding it. It's also the highest level Spider Emperor, so coordinating rhythm needs to be fast. I can't help you guys. If you hear my voice and then react, it might already be too slow, so I can only rely on the coordination of you four. What do you think? Is there a problem?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Is there any other method?" Seven Fields asked. Truthfully, the four of them weren't very confident.

"With your combination of class skills, I don't think there is any other." Ye Xiu said.

"This is a method you decided on after seeing our class's skills?"

"Correct."

The four were shocked. They were still wondering what guide Ye Xiu looked at because the several times they had done it, they had never seen a guide like that. Now they knew, Ye Xiu didn't look at a guide to look for a strategy, he was only looking at it to see the BOSSes characteristics. After looking at it, he created a strategy that fit their skills. Without any testing, without any breaking in, just directly commanding, in the end they cleared the BOSSes.

This time what shocked the four of them wasn't the gorgeous character control, the outstanding awareness, or the exceptional leadership. It was the extremely deep understanding of the game. Seven Fields and the others immediately felt that the word "expert" wasn't enough to describe him. Only an even grander term could...

But the four of them were still hesitant because this time they couldn't completely depend on him. The four had to do their part alone. Originally, they weren't any great experts, merely experienced players that were better than new players. When Ye Xiu asked whether they could do it or not. They truthfully didn't have much confidence.

The four hesitated, but Ye Xiu didn't urge them. The five of them just silently stood there outside the Spider Emperor's den. But at this moment, a system announcement suddenly flashed over their screens. The first Spider Cave hidden BOSS kill had already been completed.

Seven Fields clenched his teeth and thought It'd be best not to think of the first kill at this moment. Even if we went through a dungeon on an ordinary day, if we met a hidden BOSS, then it's not like we wouldn't even try and just give it up. If we really couldn't do it, then we could just quickly leave. One benefit of beginner village dungeons was that force quitting a dungeon could be done. Although the character still had to be resurrected, there wouldn't be any experience loss. Beginner village all in all took good care of new players.

"Shall we try it?" Seven Fields looked towards his three brothers. The three players showed fighting spirit after seeing the system announcement. They all agreed in unison.

"Bring it on!" Seven Fields represented his brothers and declared their choice to Stolord.

"Four people is enough to use this strategy. Recall what your rhythm was the last few times. Now just make it a bit faster. Don't think about it, feel it." Ye Xiu said.

"Understood."

"I'll start the battle." Ye Xiu said this and directed Stolord to the den entrance. He didn't enter. He just took out his Parasol and lifted it up once. He then suddenly turned around and retreated swiftly.

"Done?" The four were stunned.

"Done." Ye Xiu said.

The four were all scratching their head in puzzlement. How did he start it? They didn't see anything. They all thought that Stolord would enter. Who knew that he would just stand at the entrance for a bit? This type of initiation could only be done by long-ranged classes!

"Did he bring a gun?"

"He must have."

While they guessed, a shriek rang out from the den. The Spider Emperor that had been in a nice nap had been forcefully woken up. Everyone felt the entire cave shake and knew that the Emperor was about to come out.

"Disperse to the left and right. Be careful!" Ye Xiu yelled. Seven Fields and the others separated left and right, two on each side. The Spider Emperor spat out poison and directly pounced onto Stolord.

Stolord didn't retreat and instead moved forward. He rushed forward to meet it. Right when it looked as if he were going to be pounced on, suddenly, his body lowered. With a whoosh and a bang, he slid across the Spider Emperor's belly.

"I told you he brought a gun!" Drifting Water shouted. The bang was a sound produced from a basic gunner attack.

The sliding Stolord then leaped up into the air. With a flick of his wrist, the lance stabbed into the Spider Emperor's butt. Using the Spider Emperor's pouncing power, he sent the Spider Emperor flying into the four-man formation.

"Up!" Ye Xiu yelled. The four acted with confusion. Prior to this, they had thought that Ye Xiu needed a bit of time to bring the monster into the trap.They hadn't thought that the Spider Emperor would've been brought to them so directly and efficiently.

"I'll start!" Seven Fields shouted and moved up to attack.

"Then me." Sunset Clouds moved up.

Drifting Water went next.

"..." Sleeping Moon had to go next.

After Sleeping Moon finished, Seven Fields cried: "My skill's still on cooldown."

"Too quick." Ye Xiu's Stolord had already dashed up to use a Dragon Tooth keeping the Spider Emperor stunned.

"Hurry up and get familiar with the rhythm." Ye Xiu directed Stolord to the just recently spawned small spiders.

"Okay!" Seven Fields looked. It turns out that the Emperor didn't immediately lay out all of its abilities when the fight began. It started out quite slow giving them some time to ease in. At this point, the great expert could still deal with a small amount of spiders while simultaneously helping them continuously stun.

"It's still too fast." After the round was over, Seven Field's skill was still on cooldown.

"Don't be nervous. Grasp the rhythm." Ye Xiu reminded.

"Fast, Drifting Water went too early."

"Still fast, it's still Drifting Water."

"It's still fast. This time it's Little Moon Moon. Drifting Water's rhythm was good. You've adjusted well." Ye Xiu helped observe who was doing well while busily hitting down the small spiders.

The Spider Emperor's life continued to drop. The spawn rate increased by one, two, three.

"Okay, this round's rhythm was good that time. Grasp it well!" Finally, this round, their coordination was just right.
