Chapter 190 - The BOSS’s Shadow Steps (1/2)
Steamed Bun Invasion’s situation was somewhat similar to that of w.a.n.g Jiexi’s. However, w.a.n.g Jiexi possessed the ability to adjust, while Steamed Bun Invasion probably didn’t know how to do so. After all, even Ye Xiu wasn’t sure how to help him develop. After w.a.n.g Jiexi changed, he was still at G.o.d-level, but if others did the same thing he did, they might fall to a mediocre level.
A transformation wasn’t something that easy to do. Even though Steamed Bun Invasion was a noob at Glory, he wasn’t a blank slate in other areas of the game. In reality, he had some understanding of what he was doing. In this area, he wasn’t like Tang Rou. Tang Rou truly was a complete blank slate. But it was a pity that this girl’s personality was so stubborn. She had pretty much figured out her own style already and it wasn’t possible to create a large transformation. Ye Xiu could help by instructing her about the game’s mechanics, but he didn’t have the ability to change her personality. Everyone was an adult so their ways of thinking had matured. Tang Rou’s personality wasn’t anything bad either. It just stopped her from becoming a good team player, that was all.
Ye Xiu pondered over this as he watched the two play. But his playing wasn’t slow even though he was mult.i.tasking. With ten years of experience, he had experienced all kinds of battles. Many of the things he needed to do were done automatically without too much thought.
Taking the BOSS down wasn’t a problem.
They were a team that could defeat a Level 36 Wild BOSS. If they couldn’t beat a weaker Level 33 hidden BOSS, Illusion Swordmaster Ahong, then they’d be a joke.
The important point was that these types of dungeons could be used as practice for everyone.
Ye Xiu directed the team as he fought casually. His focus was naturally on Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion. Su Mucheng rarely needed Ye Xiu to say anything. As for Qiao Yifan, Ye Xiu hadn’t judged him wrong. He was the complete opposite of Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion. His personality and awareness made him an outstanding team player.
He was adept at observing; he paid attention to the performance of every team player and tried hard to coordinate with each of them.
A part of why Tang Rou’s and Steamed Bun Invasion’s performances weren’t too good was because they were too unfamiliar with the hidden BOSS. After familiarizing themselves with the Illusion Swordmaster’s various skills, the two would gradually a.s.similate themselves into the team.
Correct, they could still a.s.similate.
But as their skills continue to grow, their styles would become more and more unique and their conflicts within the team would become greater and greater. This was what Ye Xiu was thinking about right now.
But as of right now, they were still a good team. Under Ye Xiu’s orders, the Illusion Swordmaster was gradually suppressed as he was. .h.i.t blow after blow under the cliffs.
Lord Grim and One Inch Ash’s “Dual Linking Ghost Boundaries” never broke sothe team was always in a boundary.
Waves of poison arose from Steamed Bun Invasion’s attacks.
Three types of Magic Chasers flew out from Soft Mist.
Explosions erupted from Cleansing Mist’s cannon.
They continued to bombard the Illusion Swordmaster with their skills. Ahong’s eyes grew more and more red, his head was covered in sweat, and his expression grew more and more serious.
“Careful, almost red blood.” Ye Xiu suddenly said.
“What happens when he goes into red blood?” Tang Rou immediately asked. In the beginning, she had suffered quite a bit because she didn’t know what the BOSS’s features were. Tang Rou had learned from her mistakes.
“Shadow Steps.” Ye Xiu said.
“Oh? What’s that?” Steamed Bun Invasion asked. He wasn’t like Tang Rou in this area. Tang Rou had helped Chen Guo PK a few times before, so she had seen quite a few high-leveled skills. Even though she might not know the name, “Shadow Steps” had been used in the fight between Poplar Beach and Ye Xiu recently. Chen Guo had even called out the name, so Tang Rou knew what this skill was.
But Steamed Bun Invasion had only played on this account, so he didn’t know of any skills above Level 30.
“It’s an afterimage. There’ll be five soon, one for each of us.” Ye Xiu said. If this were a normal team, then they wouldn’t dare split the team to fight each afterimage one on one. But Ye Xiu’s team was strong, so they dared to fight them directly this way.
“Careful!” Ye Xiu, who had been paying attention to the BOSS’s health the entire time, finally shouted.
The Illusion Swordmaster Ahong’s eyes began to glow red. The white of his eyes could no longer be seen.
