Li Yao shook his head and said, “I can’t guarantee success right now, but we can at least give it a shot.”

“We understand. Just tell us how to do it quickly,” the Guardian Angel interrupted Li Yao.

“Exactly. Last time you said the same thing, and yet we passed the challenge in one go,” Qin Feng Yi laughed.

“Alright,” Li Yao admitted, “you have heard of the ‘Arcane Tank’, right?”

“Yes, it’s a tactical approach in which a magic user assumes the role of a tank due to a specific boss,” Broad Sky said.

“Correct, and my approach is similar to the principles of the Arcane Tank, I call it the ‘Hunter Tank’. In this attempt, we won’t use the Fruit Knight to pull the boss,” Li Yao explained slowly.

“You will pull the boss? Can that work?” Sister Li asked doubtfully. “Arcane Tanks usually appear in the situation where a certain boss can’t cause substantial damage to some magic classes. But remember, you can’t resist the Blood Crow’s Flame Arrows.”

“I am clear about this. But I have a strategy and you will understand when the time comes,” Li Yao waved his hand saying: “What we need to talk about now is your task. I guess this boss battle will be quite protracted, the boss will probably summon many silver elites, so I need you to hold all the lesser monsters if they don’t bother me, I can whittle down the boss myself.”

“I don’t doubt your abilities, but we might not be strong enough to do that. Normally, a Fruit Knight can withstand up to five elites under the support of two healers, and a Stone Demon can handle three or four. This makes only seven monsters. But you need to understand that our killing speed won’t keep up with the boss’s summoning rate. Let alone holding them all, we might break down by the fourth wave. It seems like your plan won’t work,” Broad Sky explained.

“Hmm, your analysis is correct. But have you ever taken notice of the topography of the boss’s hall?” Li Yao asked back.

“The topography?” Broad Sky thought about the layout of the boss’s hall, then suddenly his eyes lit up: “Are you talking about utilizing those spots?”

“What are you two hinting at?” Da Vinci asked curiously.

“Haven’t you noticed? There are many small recessed caves in the boss’s hall, which seem like the small rooms where coffins or offerings are kept in some type of tomb. I’ve noticed that some recessed areas are quite narrow, allowing only three people through. If all of you attackers can move to those recessed areas and the tanks can lure the monsters and hold them outside the recesses, guess what will happen?” Broad Sky excitedly explained.

“Actually, each tank only needs to bear the attacks of two to three elites. The ones behind can’t reach them,” Sister Li finally got it.

“But what about the monster pulling? There will be many monsters at the entrance. What if monsters respawn inside the hall?” Da Vinci asked confused.

“That’s easy. Let Shadow Dance and I handle the monster pulling from outside, while you concentrate on attacking. In case the tanks are in danger, Broad Sky or Stone Demon can take over for a while. I believe the plan is quite feasible,” Sister Li confidently said.

“Yes, that’s what I was thinking,” Li Yao nodded in agreement, and then used a knife to give everyone some of the grilled meat: “Eat quickly, it can add some attributes. Then we will begin.”

“Wow, it’s not only delicious but also adds attributes. What is this meat?” Stone Demon cheered.

“It can surprisingly increase 15 stamina and 5% of movement speed. Where did you get this recipe from? What’s its name?” exclaimed Broad Sky.

He couldn’t resist the temptation. Other than the main tanks, other classes mostly have only a few hundred hit points. An extra hundred is the equivalent to transforming a Blue Piece of Equipment into a Purple Piece, which is highly beneficial.

“This is called Secret Earth Dragon Meat, the main ingredients are the honey of level 10 Emperor Bees and boss-level Earth Dragon Meat,” Li Yao smiled, this recipe really did exist in the game, but requires many military exploits to obtain. He made it according to his memory from his past life, and without the recipe’s enhancement, the effect was slightly worse.

“Okay, I will remember,” Broad Sky then sent the recipe’s name back to the guild. Then there will be the rear support department searching for it and he doesn’t need to worry about it any more.

“Okay, I’ll start now. Everyone but Sister Li, get ready at the second recess on the left.”

Seeing his teammates ready, Li Yao prepared his Charged Arrow.

Wham…

-785

The Blood Crow’s defense was clearly much weaker than the corpse that was set on fire. Li Yao estimated that his regular attacks could cause around six hundred damage.

“Foolish adventurers, your constant deaths are pointless.” The Blood Crow raised her Flame Crossbow and ferociously shot an arrow.

Everyone focused their eyes on Li Yao, wanting to see how he could withstand the boss’s attack, maintaining this so-called Hunter Tank.

Arcane Shot!

As the Blood Crow shot her Flame Arrow, Li Yao’s Legendary Long Bow also shimmered with an arcane glow.

As if time had stretched out, everyone saw a pale blue light and a fiery red light collide.

Boom…

A loud explosion rang out, both arrows exploded and fell to the ground.

“Holy shit, that’s amazing!” exclaimed Broad Sky.

“The boss’s Flame Arrow looks stronger than the commander’s arrows, why could it block the Flame Arrow?” asked Stone Demon after being surprised.

Qin Feng Yi said, “The Flame Arrow has an exploding effect and exploded when it encountered the Arcane Shot.”

“But a normal arrow wouldn’t be so easy right?” Big Stone continued.

“Normal arrows, definitely won’t be as strong as the boss’s, but that’s not a problem, you’ll understand when you see it,” Qin Feng Yi replied.

“Weak little insects, you do have some skills.”

A moment of surprise flashed in Blood Crow’s eyes, but her hand didn’t stop re-loading her heavy crossbow, this time using a steel arrow.

A glint flashed in Li Yao’s eyes, his bow and arrow shimmered with a yellow light, at the same time Blood Crow’s crossbow was released, Li Yao released the string of his bow, and a Level 1 Charged Arrow collided with Blood Crow’s steel arrow.

Even though the arrow Li Yao shot was military grade, it still couldn’t withstand the power of the steel arrow. It broke instantly, yet the steel arrow continued swiftly on its path.

However, Li Yao didn’t move at all, the steel arrow flew past him.

“God damn, it actually worked?” Stone Demon gapped.

“So this is the Hunter Tank? Damn, who else could use it but him.” Broad Sky was also stunned. Even though he had seen Li Yao’s videos, watching them and witnessing in person were completely different experiences.

“Even if it can’t break the steel arrow, the impact can change the direction of the steel arrow,” explained Qin Feng Yi. But just doing that won’t be enough, this method can only be used for defense. If the Blood Crow can’t be attacked, there would be no point at all.”

Everyone then realized the same, that’s right. They were waiting to deal with the minions. If the boss could only be attacked by him alone, and he was constantly just firing arrows back and forth at the boss, he wouldn’t be able to harm the boss at all. What was the point then?

What method would Li Yao use, just like his first probing arrow and second lethal shot against Li Yao, an attack he usually couldn’t dodge or else the next second the boss would be killed…
