Chapter 116 - An All-New Strategy (1/2)

After the four monsters rushed out, they immediately headed towards Lord Grim. In the next second, the four monster grouped together.

To be more accurate, they weren’t together. But they were all heading towards the same target and just happened to meet up at the same place.

Although Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion had skill, they were still beginners in terms of knowledge and experience and were completely indifferent to the current situation. However, Su Mucheng and Liu Hao quickly saw through it.

This was gathering the monsters in one move. Just by relying on his pathing, he was able to perfectly gather up the monsters in one move.

This gathering calculated for the monsters’ positions, the monsters’ movement speed, pursuit path as well as how they chose to change directions. Afterwards, by controlling the character’s movements and pathing, in the blink of an eye, the monsters would move into the necessary position.

This was a strategy that needed them to pay extreme attention to the details!

However, although this method of gathering monsters was beautiful and flawless, killing off these four monsters in this way wouldn’t improve the time by much, right? If everyone just swarmed them and forcefully attacked the four monsters separately, they could also instantly gather the monsters and they might even be a bit faster.

Su Mucheng and Liu Hao both had the same doubts in their heart.

Lord Grim, however, had already started moving.

Shadow Clone Technique!

Lord Grim’s fake body was left in his original position while his real body had already instantly flashed over to the other side. However, the monsters were still headed towards his original position. Players could rely on experience to determine the real body in Shadow Clone Technique, but monsters couldn’t. This skill had a 100% chance to trick monsters. The four monsters continued to charge towards the fake body.

Falling Flower Palm!

The real Lord Grim immediately unleashed a blast. The four monsters smashed into each other and flew out. One of them wasn’t hit strong enough. It looked as if it were about to fall, when Lord Grim stabbed out with his lance and the monster flew high up into sky. A Dragon Tooth thrust forth and this monster flew forward farther than rest.

The four monsters were hit onto a stone wall. Dungeons! Most of them had a closed off s.p.a.ce, whether it be a mountain, a forest, a precipice, or a wall. There was always some sort of barrier that led players towards a certain direction. They couldn’t let you just casually go around the monsters.

The four monsters smashed into the wall. Lord Grim’s quickly rushed up. Steamed Bun Invasion roared and was about to go up too to battle when Ye Xiu yelled: “Watch first.”

Steamed Bun Invasion immediately halted. He spun around in his original position and said to Hateful Sword: “Don’t move! Watch carefully.”

Liu Hao had already learned well. He definitely wouldn’t reply back to Steamed Bun Invasion.

Lord Grim rushed up. One player versus four monsters, which were easily suppressed. Originally, there was a small, narrow crack in the stone wall. Lord Grim’s previous Falling Flower had blown a monster into it and his following Dragon Tooth knocked another one into it. After rus.h.i.+ng up and using two or three moves, the monsters were stuffed into the crack. Although it was a 1v4, it was more like a 1v1.

“This…… it could be considered a pretty good method for clearing the dungeon. But for setting a record, how will this save time?” Liu Hao was puzzled, extremely puzzled. But he didn’t say anything and only silently watched.

One of the monsters fell. The second one stepped out of the crack. In a short moment, it was killed and then also fell. The third monster stepped out, was killed, and then fell. And then afterwards……. afterwards there was no more!

Besides Ye Xiu, the other four players all looked at their screen with wide eyes. They had all seen in awe that the fourth monster, a zombie, was stuck in the stone wall. Although it bore its fangs and brandished its claws, no matter how it struggled, it couldn’t get out.

What was jamming it were the broken bones of the previous three skeletons. After the skeletons in the Boneyard were killed, they would immediately turn into a pile of bones and merge with the ground into a solid chunk like a scar. At this moment, the three skeletons were killed by Lord Grim on the same spot in the stone crack. The three piles of bones built on each other and the pile couldn’t be considered very tall. However, the clumsy zombie couldn’t get out no matter how hard it tried. It could only spin around in circles.

D*mn! So it could be done like this!!! Liu Hao was dumbstruck. Like this, when they pulled four monsters, they could kill one less, which would definitely save a lot of time.

However, to do this, he would have to do a lot more movements. Although he would save time from killing one monster less, would that time be wasted on those extra movements? Liu Hao was currently pondering over this issue, when he heard Ye Xiu say: “It’ll be done like this. However, as a record-setting party, we have to coordinate together and use the shortest amount of time to complete these moves. I’ve roughly calculated it. If the coordination is smooth, then we’ll be faster than normal parties by at least 10 seconds.”

10 seconds. This didn’t seem very amazing. But throughout the dungeon, if there were six of these ten seconds, then there would be a 1 minute advantage.

1 minute. If another party didn’t know of such a method, then it’d be extremely difficult for them to make up for it in other areas. Besides better equipment to increase their damage, there was no other method.

A chill arose in Liu Hao’s heart. He believed that situations similar to this definitely wouldn’t arise just this one time in the beginning.

Just as expected, whether it be similar or different situations, there were always a few excess movements that utilized the dungeon details. And in the end, they all went around monsters that couldn’t be avoided with the original methods.
