Chapter 736 - 699: You Forced Bro to Fight the BOSS!
Now, Da Fei gazed at the small melt caves on the walls and ceiling of the melt cave hall, each the size of a room, and inspiration struck him. Could he stand in a small melt cave to fight the BOSS?
This was called positioning. Whether a professional player or a casual player, everyone knew a common strategy in games called "positioning," where the player stood on a badass terrain, allowing them to hit the monster while making it hard for the monster to hit back. Take the BOSS Earth Dragon, for example. It might not be able to spray the melt cave ceilings over its head, thus creating a positioning spot.
As soon as the idea of positioning came up, Da Fei’s mind began to race.
First, could he stand on the small melt cave? Yes! He had the climbing artifact, Cliff Walker, and Tachiusu was naturally a flying hero and could go anywhere. After using Cliff Walker to reach the positioning point, Da Fei could have Tachiusu hand the Cliff Walker over to Da Fei’s Vice Hero, allowing everyone to reach the positioning spot.
Moreover, the BOSS was asleep, making climbing very safe.
In short, the first prerequisite for positioning was met, that is, they could reach the positioning point. Now, for the toughest and most critical part, how to determine the positioning spot?
Whether Da Fei’s position was the positioning spot was not for Da Fei to say, it was for the BOSS to decide! Even if Elena happily blasted the BOSS a hundred times and the BOSS finally found a chance to counter spray once, Da Fei would be doomed! He could not afford the slightest mistake.
Indeed, the positioning spots detailed in various leveling and monster fighting strategies were determined by experts through repeated practice and sacrifice. Could Da Fei really settle it with one chance?
Moreover, the BOSS could also spew fire from a distance. Usually, attempting to position against a ranged monster was practically impossible; if you could hit it, it could hit you. The only hope was perhaps there was a dead angle in the BOSS’s fire, not reaching overhead. But who could say for sure? Even a cornered dog would jump over a wall. Who’s to say the BOSS wouldn’t jump up and spray at Da Fei?
Da Fei was immediately conflicted. It would be best not to try such unreliable things; trying would only embarrass oneself. However, not being able to fight now didn’t mean he couldn’t fight in the future, right? Besides, for the refined crystal sulfur beneath it, he might gather a large army to wipe it out in the near future. Therefore, studying it more and recording the terrain video was still necessary.
So, how should this BOSS be fought under normal circumstances? While it slept, should Da Fei fill the hall with troops stacked in formation, then swarm in? Only to be sprayed to death in one breath, and have the second tier, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth tier from the passage head in? How tragic that would be! Moreover, it was sleeping over a lava pool, a natural defense line that directly blocked the assault of ground troops, making it indeed tough to fight.
Speaking of which, isn’t this the second Super BOSS Da Fei encountered, starting in a sleeping state, after the Hydra? Such BOSSes, besides giving players enough time for troop deployment, might also have a fatal weakness like the Hydra, right? Could it be that by constantly watching its backside, Da Fei could trigger the God-level Reconnaissance Technique’s Intelligence Analysis Skill to find its weakness?
Just as Da Fei pondered, Tachiusu suddenly alerted, "Lord City Lord, there’s a lot of ground shaking. A large number of troops are pursuing from the passage behind us."
Da Fei jolted with surprise, "No way, how do they know we’re here?"
Tachiusu frowned, "Perhaps footprints..."
Elena sighed, "Or perhaps the scent, the Hellhound’s tracking ability is incredibly strong."
Damn it! As a top-level player with God-level Reconnaissance, could Da Fei no longer enjoy guerilla warfare happily? Moreover, who would have thought that Tachiusu would be so sensitive to the ground, who could ever sneak up on her? God-level Stealth was probably useless against her, her presence was truly a great boon for the army’s early warning!
So, what to do now? Since the other side already determined Da Fei’s position, surely they’d pursue from all sides, adding a blockade at the entrance, wouldn’t Da Fei become the fish trapped in a barrel unable to escape?
The team was full of heroes unafraid of death losing Experience, but it would be a pity for the dozen or so Tiger Wolves Da Fei recruited, plus the two Angels! Not workable, couldn’t sit and wait for death.
The only place to hide now was the small melt caves on the BOSS’s ceiling. Then there’s no discussion needed—gotta hide in there. Da Fei refused to believe the Demon Army would risk disturbing the BOSS’s sleep to catch him. If they dared, Da Fei would go all out—wake the BOSS and perish together, believe it or not?
In short, with so many melt caves, big and small, there was enough room for the Demon Wolves and Demon Foxes to reside. As for the Demon Wolf King, too big, no choices, squeeze in. Then was the hiding spot for Da Fei’s whole family, Da Fei had noticed a few larger melt caves on the ceiling during his observation earlier—there it is.
So, after quickly instructing everyone, Da Fei took out the long-missed Spiderman Artifact ’Cliff Walker Backpack,’ equipped it, then shot a web to the ceiling, pulled, and bounced, expertly soaring over the giant dragon’s head—playing a round of aerial gymnastics. Naturally, Tachiusu flew up and down, passing down the artifact. Before long, Da Fei’s team all reached the melt caves at the hall’s ceiling.
From the vantage point in the melt caves, they had a clear view of the entire giant dragon below. If this were a positioning spot to attack, would that be unbelievably cool or what?
Just then, the sound of clicking footsteps came from the distant passage, indeed pursuers arrived! Da Fei’s heart tightened, holding his breath and not daring to look down. As for the Blood Eagle, it was quickly reeled back, not flying anymore. In short, extreme hide-and-seek!
The footsteps got closer and slowed and softened, clearly, the Demon pursuers were also quite afraid of this sleeping giant dragon.
Then a voice came from the entrance of the hall, "Master, the prey is hiding in the holes in the wall!"
Whoa! Da Fei’s heart shattered! Could there be any suspense at all? Da Fei’s game of hide-and-seek had just begun and already ended in failure, discovered? Could Da Fei not enjoy playing happily? Fine, Da Fei would wake the giant dragon and perish together!
The so-called master snorted coldly, "They can’t escape. Seal all exits and watch them, starve them out!"
"Yes, Master!"
Damn! Da Fei’s heart shattered again, seriously sealing off, already prepared for a protracted war to starve Da Fei out, you guys were impressive! At this point, Da Fei had to admire the Demon pursuers’ strength, once they caught on, his proud infiltrating abilities behind enemy lines were utterly insignificant before their powerful tracking capabilities.
Looks like this time, he had seriously overplayed. Fine, since they were doomed anyway, might as well study how to fight this BOSS before dying, if they could manage to defeat it in one attempt—great. Even in failure, it would at least prepare for future strategies.
Da Fei hesitated to provoke it, but they forced him to fight the BOSS!
