lthough the Main God and the others had the strength to kill the BOSS, when it came to comparing damage output, their two hundred or so people were very hard-pressed to compete with the thousands, or even tens of thousands, of players from the large guilds.
Zhou Chu had also thought of this problem and said worriedly, "Jiang Kai, this first place won't be easy to snatch."
"If you kill even a little slower, we might get wiped as a group!"
He Shishi also said, "Qingyun has to hold off the guards and protect the Main God's people. Being able to hold out until you kill the BOSS is already not easy. There's no way they can go farm damage."
Jiang Kai had been frowning the whole time.
After a long silence, Jiang Kai suddenly raised his head. "Then how about… you guys fight the BOSS, and I farm damage?"
The moment Jiang Kai put forward his idea, it was immediately met with a wave of opposition.
"No way. It'll be more dangerous for us to fight the BOSS. And if there are fewer people hitting the BOSS, the damage won't be enough. If there are more people, we won't be able to hold off the guards."
Jiang Kai continued, "The terrain of Qingfeng Mountain is mainly mountainous. If we can pull the BOSS into a relatively enclosed area, leaving only one opening, it'll be much easier to block the guards."
"Also, you don't need to rush to kill the BOSS. It'd be best if you don't even trigger the first phase. As long as you control the BOSS, we can go farm damage!"
He Shishi sneered. "You make it sound easy. How could we possibly control it for that long?"
"And besides, who can pull the BOSS away?"
A figure suddenly appeared in Jiang Kai's mind. This guy had once been hunted to the point of having nowhere to go, fleeing from Zone One all the way to Zone Eighteen to take refuge with the Main God Guild. As for the reason, it was inseparable from the fact that he had pulled a whole bunch of lords and caused other people's group to be wiped!
Obviously, when it came to pulling a BOSS, no one was more suitable than him.
"Brother Ouyang…" Jiang Kai raised his eyebrows at Ouyang Yi.
"M-me? I'm going? You're not thinking of having me pull the BOSS, are you!"
"Other than you, who else can handle it?" Jiang Kai kept raising his eyebrows at Ouyang Yi. "It's not like you haven't done this before."
"No, no. What I pulled before were lord-level ones. I've never pulled a king-level before!"
Jiang Kai chuckled. "It's about the same. Besides, before you were a fourth-tier Judge, now you're a super fifth-tier Wuchang. You've got to upgrade from lord to king at some point too."
"This…"
"Yes, yes, Ouyang is really good at pulling mobs. When I teamed up with him to carry people while leveling, this guy's weak-point attacks could quickly draw the beasts' aggro!" Ruan Yu said excitedly.
"Ruan Gui, you… you really are my good friend." Ouyang Yi said with a darkened face.
But at this point, there really was no one more suited to the job than him.
Ouyang Yi let out a sigh. "Fine, I'll pull. But after I pull it over, who's taking over?"
"You just keep pulling it!" Ruan Yu said.
Ouyang Yi shot Ruan Yu a vicious look. "Was it just because I stole a drink of your wine last time? Do you really have to kill me like this!"
"Who's taking over…" Jiang Kai frowned. Just as he was worrying about this, he happened to see Ruan Gui and Ouyang Yi fooling around.
Suddenly, Jiang Kai felt as if he had been struck with enlightenment!
That's right. Wasn't the candidate right in front of them?
"If we're talking about someone who can hold out against the BOSS, it has to be Ruan Gui!" Jiang Kai said, looking at Ruan Yu with an expression full of certainty.
Ruan Yu had just been gloating in front of Ouyang Yi, his face split into a grin, but it suddenly froze.
Jiang Kai's words immediately woke everyone else up.
Hu Yan frowned slightly and nodded solemnly. "That's true. With Ruan Gui's skills, as long as he doesn't deliver himself to the door, even a king-level might not be able to catch him!"
"Old Hu, after all these years of friendship, you treat me like this?" Ruan Yu looked at Hu Yan in despair.
"I'm just speaking objectively!"
Ouyang Yi had originally been dejected, but upon hearing this, he instantly seemed to be injected with chicken blood and shouted excitedly, "That's right. Ruan Gui's movement is unmatched in the world! Ruan Gui, I pull it over, you take over. That's the perfect combo!"
"Captain Kai, I…"
"Enough with the 'I, I, I'. It's you!" Jiang Kai said. "Don't be nervous. Hu Yan will be watching over you too."
"Also, leave a few people with control abilities behind, just in case Ruan Gui goes down."
"You don't need to deal much damage. Just keep the BOSS tied down. We'll farm damage, and when it's about time, I'll come back and kill the BOSS." Jiang Kai was very satisfied with his plan.
The others thought about it for a moment. Zhao Tiequan said, "This plan has risks, but the one dying won't be me, so I agree!"
"Damn, that's shameless!" Ouyang Yi stared at Zhao Tiequan in shock. "Ruan Gui, Old Zhao stole your wine last time too!"
Watching these people's true natures come out, Jiang Kai snickered a few times, then turned serious and looked at Ouyang Yi and Ruan Yu.
"You two don't worry. I've still got a backup plan. Relax."
"The Demon-Slaying Sword?" Hu Yan guessed.
Jiang Kai couldn't help being surprised. As expected of the old fortune-teller. Old Hu really understood things.
The others weren't very clear about the special ability of the Demon-Slaying Sword, but Hu Yan and Ruan Yu knew.
After all, the Demon-Slaying Sword alone could kill a demon-race king-level!
With the Demon-Slaying Sword as insurance, Ruan Yu immediately felt confident. "Alright, Captain Kai. This time, let's really pump up the damage!"
They checked the leaderboard again. Tianxuan's damage had reached a terrifying 21,000, three times theirs. It looked like they had killed quite a few small mobs.
Whether they could reclaim first place would depend on the next BOSS.
This time, Jiang Kai, Zhou Ting, and Zhou Chan carefully studied the terrain and chose the BOSS at Dragon Shadow Peak, the Dragon Python Serpent King.
At the edge of the Dragon Python Serpent King's nest, there was a valley. Three sides were steep mountain cliffs, with only one entrance.
If they could lure it into the valley, the defensive pressure would be much lower.
Also, since the Dragon Python Serpent King had no prior hunting records, there was currently no large guild leading a hunt for it.
After choosing the target, Jiang Kai immediately led the team toward Dragon Shadow Peak.
After half a day of travel, they arrived at the BOSS territory of Dragon Shadow Peak.
Most of them lay in ambush in the designated valley. Jiang Kai and Ouyang Yi went to activate the BOSS, while Ruan Yu waited alone in the valley.
Dragon Shadow Peak was mainly inhabited by snake demons. Unlike tree demons, they normally wandered around their territory, so Jiang Kai needed to help Ouyang Yi kill the snake demons that chased him, allowing him to focus on pulling the BOSS away.
These snake demons all had human heads and snake bodies. Judging by their heads, they all had female faces, hair hanging loose, twisted and ferocious expressions, extremely terrifying.
Jiang Kai killed the snake demon blocking his path and shook his head. "It's over. This is Ruan Yu's type."
Ouyang Yi nodded. "Exactly."
Ahead, a massive open-air rock cave was the BOSS's nest. After taking a glance, Ouyang Yi said to Jiang Kai, "I'm going in, Captain Kai. You've got to watch my back!"
"Don't worry!" Jiang Kai said. "Believe in yourself!"
Ouyang Yi was extremely uneasy. When people fought king-level BOSSes, they always made sure to prevent the BOSS from running around. Once a BOSS got out of control, it would cause massive casualties. Yet here he was, about to pull the BOSS away.
The Main God's style was indeed completely different from other guilds.
Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Yi went in anyway.
As soon as he approached the snake nest, the ground began to shake violently.
The rocks at the top of the nest were smashed open directly by a gigantic beast.
Looking closely, this Dragon Python Serpent King was actually different from the other snake demons. Not only did it have a human head, it also had a human upper body. Only its lower half was still a thick, powerful snake tail.
"Ah!" The Serpent King let out an angry roar and shot into the sky. Its body, dozens of meters long, truly resembled a soaring azure dragon!
Jiang Kai hid in the shadows, ready to act at any moment if Ouyang Yi was in danger!
After bursting out of the nest, the Serpent King discovered that there was only a single person in front of it.
As a king-level BOSS, it probably hadn't expected its entrance to be so lacking in grandeur. It froze for a moment…
"Weak-point attack!" Ouyang Yi seized the chance and launched his attack.
Relying on his class talent, Ouyang Yi's strike left a shallow mark on the Serpent King's tail.
This blow completely enraged the Serpent King. With a shrill scream, it lunged toward Ouyang Yi.
Ouyang Yi turned and ran, shouting in a distorted voice, "Ghost Wall!"
The Serpent King chased for a short distance. With its incredible speed, it was about to catch up to Ouyang Yi, but at that moment, it actually stopped, looked around, then detoured around an empty space in front of it, taking a longer route to continue the chase.
With that detour, Ouyang Yi widened the distance.
"Damn, I've never seen Ouyang use that move before. Is this making the target hallucinate, thinking it's blocked? That's kind of strong!" Jiang Kai marveled inwardly.
With the Serpent King activated, a large number of snake demons suddenly appeared around them,疯狂地 charging toward Ouyang Yi.
Jiang Kai immediately chased after Ouyang Yi, keeping an eye on what was behind him to prevent him from being attacked.
But Ouyang Yi truly was a master at pulling mobs. He actually led the BOSS straight into the valley.
"Ruan Gui, it's yours!" Ouyang Yi shouted.
Very soon, Ruan Gui's arrogant voice rang out.
"I, Ruan Yu, have never been inferior to anyone in my life!"
At that moment, Jiang Kai had already rushed into the valley. He immediately shouted to those lying in ambush inside, "The guards are coming. Close the gate!"
"Hold the BOSS. Everyone else, follow me to farm damage!"
