“Bear the storm.” The Harpy Queen spread her arms, her body shimmering with light, and five tornadoes spread out from her center.

“Be careful to dodge the skill; it’s not that hard to avoid it,” Ye Mu warned, healing his team at the same time.

When the boss unleashed the tornado, his healing spell fell precisely on the tank, not only refilling the tank’s health bar perfectly.

But also, he didn’t suffer from the issue of the boss releasing a skill while his spell was halfway through its casting.

Under such circumstances, if he didn’t abandon the spellcasting, the healing might be wiped out in a split second. If the healing spell was interrupted, it was more likely that the tank’s health was insufficient and he would be killed by the boss.

Don’t think it’s an exaggeration, it’s indeed possible. That’s often how things go in the real world.

Countless teams have wiped out when the boss’s health was only 0.5% left, such examples are aplenty.

The difference between regular high-level players and professional gamers often lies in these nuanced details. These seemingly trivial details require long-term training and practice, and they are often crucial factors determining success or failure.

“Flash.” Unparalleled Alluring Queen drew a pattern with her hands, facing the incoming tornado. Her figure immediately disappeared, flashing to another side and went into stealth.

The other players also swiftly evaded. At this time, Li Yao’s bullet, after the second ricochet, rushed over like lightning.

Just as Ye Mu was also trying to dodge the tornado towards the left, his right side blocked by a Magician.

As a result, it seemed as if Ye Mu had run himself into the sniper bullet.

Thud…

Feeling a sudden pain in his back, Ye Mu looked down just in time to see a fleeting afterimage zoom towards the MT’s back.

Then, dozens of yards away, other players who had their attention focused here were stunned to notice their Guild Master Ye Mu and Prosperous Wild Knight frozen in place, their life-force rapidly dropping to zero before they collapsed to the ground.

“It’s Prairie Fire, they’re behind us,” Prosperous Wild Magician roared, his eyes bloodshot.

Not only him, everyone’s eyes were red.

“Main team members spread out, abandon the boss fight, the others get rid of Prairie Fire for me,” he said, his calm tone barely concealing his fury.

Li Yao put away his sniper rifle and leaped into the air. Every one of the small team fighting the Harpy Queen were among the top players in their respective fields.

With the boss down to half health, they had all grasped the boss’s combat mechanism and each had a countdown timer in their heart, calculating the boss’s next move or action.

Supported by the commander’s notifications and realignments, they were able to smoothly deal damage without missing even a second of damage-dealing time due to the boss’s skills. This was what truly defined a top-tier team.

Having observed for quite a while, Li Yao, apart from studying their casting and evading habits, was also observing and simulating the boss’s combat mechanism.

To predict the boss’s next move, all you needed to do was understand the boss’s mechanism and simulate it—if your spiritual power was strong enough, simulating the boss’s actions was easy and far more accurate than simple estimation.

Predicting the actions of players was more difficult; even if you understood their casting mechanism and evading habits, you might not be able to predict their actions.

Li Yao had his experience from his previous life and a thorough understanding of the whole situation; he could roughly predict their actions by simulating the boss fight and everyone’s actions. This required not just observation but also knowledge of the manifold techniques of different classes and skills at different stages. His brain made estimations based on these simulations.

To get where he was now, Li Yao had no idea how much time and effort he had spent.

All players rushed towards the direction pointed out by Prosperous Wild Magician. Only the players on Li Yao’s side saw a golden figure soar into the sky. Only then did they come to their senses.

“Li Yao is over here, at nine o’clock.”

Rustle….

All the players turned around and prepared to cast their spells, but it was already too late. Li Yao had already taken off.

If they had spotted Li Yao from the get-go, they could have blasted him to smithereens with their instant attack spells. But now that Li Yao had taken off, casting spells was obviously too late.

Instantaneous spells usually had a limited range and wouldn’t do much good; they could only watch helplessly as Li Yao flew out of their attack range.

“Indeed, it’s not simple to get the Prosperous Guild to where it is today,” Li Yao remarked, hovering in the air above the crowd, pointing a finger at them, “But, unfortunately, I’m still the better one. This is the first time, hurry and resurrect your guild master, I’ll arrive for the second time soon.”

“Prairie Fire, you’re good, very good…” Prosperous Guild Cousin was shaking with rage. They had thought their defense was watertight, yet Li Yao still found a loophole. Moreover, while they were fighting the boss, he killed both the healing guild master and the guild’s tank with one shot.

Now, other teams don’t dare to take over this boss fight.

“Of course I’m good, and I’ll be even better in the future,” Li Yao declared, rapidly flying off into distance, “Babe, you’re too naive to plot against me.”

Li Yao’s voice faded with his figure. A luminous green arrow tip appeared at Li Yao’s previous location, attached to a thin steel wire over a hundred yards long, one end of the wire wrapped around Unparalleled Alluring Queen’s wrist.

“Interesting guy.” Unparalleled Alluring Queen revealed a smile that could charm all beings. The steel wire quickly retracted around her wrist, showing remarkable flexibility.

Li Yao, knowing there was a Rogue Shade, had naturally left a safeguard. He’d released a Sonar Arrow before making his move, precisely to counter the unpredictable Rogue Shade. Moreover, considering Unparalleled Alluring Queen’s extraordinary techniques, he was even more on his guard.

Li Yao flew a certain distance away, leaving the battle. He immediately activated his hidden effect. Those resilient Prosperous Guild players immediately stopped in their tracks in annoyance.

Li Yao sent this video clip to Qin Feng Yi. Seeing this, the others with Li Jie exhaled in relief. They had no intention of asking Li Yao to live-stream, for fear of distracting and affecting Li Yao, they needed him to give his all since such an endeavor was truly perilous.

Soon, Ye Mu was revived, his face dark as thunder.

“Sorry, I took your favor but failed to keep Prairie Fire here,” Unparalleled Alluring Queen apologized with a charming smile.

Not to mention the other players, even Ye Mu was taken aback before he reacted. Faced with this charming beauty, even someone like him, who prioritizes benefits over everything else, couldn’t harbor resentment.

Instead, he reassured her, “Don’t blame yourself. It’s mainly because this Prairie Fire is too powerful. Where the hell did this freak come from?”

“A freak?” A peculiar look flashed in Unparalleled Alluring Queen’s eyes…
