Chapter 17 Method

"But if we don't use Scorching Meteor, we're definitely going to wipe out. Only twenty people, how can we deal with so many Manticore?" Ban Xing De Hu Li still couldn't quite believe that Nie Yan could clear sixteen Manticores at the same time without using large-scale magic.

"Actually, you don't need Scorching Meteor, but my method requires a lot from the Thieves," Nie Yan said. Since he dared to bring Ban Xing De Hu Li and others here, he was naturally confident in clearing the dungeon. Skills like Scorching Meteor could only be used once or twice, and couldn't be relied on all the time.

Ban Xing De Hu Li was silent. If Nie Yan could really rely on his skills and the combat power of these players, instead of using an heaven-defying skill like Scorching Meteor, to clear a Manticore nest, wouldn't that mean Nie Yan was more capable than him?

"Then let's give it a try," Ban Xing De Hu Li said. He wasn't the kind of petty person who cared too much about face. He admired talented people. There were many people more talented than him in the Holy Roman Empire, but only he was the Guild Leader!

"Guild Leader, a piece of golden equipment dropped," a team member exclaimed in surprise.

"What equipment? Send it over for me to see," Ban Xing De Hu Li said.

Nie Yan and the others looked at the equipment's attributes. It was a piece of golden equipment, part of the Priest's Holy Blessing Set.

"There's nothing strange about it. The expert-level Augma特 Muddy Marsh has the highest drop rate for golden equipment of all the current dungeons. There will definitely be more golden equipment later," Nie Yan said as if it were commonplace. Having seen so many legendary items, golden-level things were no longer attractive to him.

How Ban Xing De Hu Li and the others distributed this equipment had nothing to do with him. After the dungeon quest was completed, he would naturally receive his share.

Ban Xing De Hu Li sensed that Nie Yan was knowledgeable and had his own ideas. This kind of person was the most difficult to control. It seemed that the plan to recruit him would be very difficult to succeed.

Ban Xing De Hu Li distributed the golden equipment to a Priest in the team, and the team continued to move forward.

Soon, the group arrived in front of the second Manticore nest, which contained seventeen Manticores, about the same number as the previous nest.

Ban Xing De Hu Li looked at Nie Yan and said, "It's up to you next."

Nie Yan nodded, checked the terrain, and looked for a suitable spot. Under his command, the other three Thieves arrived at the designated positions, numbered one to three respectively.

The four people formed a square, standing at the four corners, and then Nie Yan assigned each person's tasks in detail.

The Manticores were leisurely active near their nest, unaware that a group of humans had locked their eyes on them.

"Remember, don't get entangled with the Manticores. When you see them chasing you, run immediately, don't stop. They're too fast. If you don't run quickly, you won't be able to outrun them," Nie Yan carefully instructed.

A flash of understanding suddenly crossed Ban Xing De Hu Li's mind. It seemed that Nie Yan was going to lure these Manticores out separately and defeat them one by one. However, these Manticores moved so fast that it would be too difficult for the Thieves in his team to lure them.

These Thieves could evade the Manticores for a while, but definitely not for too long. If they were caught up by the Manticores, wouldn't they be doomed?

Seeing that all the Thieves were ready, Nie Yan said, "Listen to my commands next."

The three Thieves concentrated their minds and took a deep breath. Nie Yan raised the crossbow in his hand and aimed at the Manticore leader.

Eh, wasn't it supposed to be all four Thieves attacking together? Ban Xing De Hu Li was surprised.

Nie Yan's vision passed through the sights, aiming at the target. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, three arrows shot out, all hitting the Manticore leader. The Manticore leader discovered Nie Yan at the first moment, roared angrily, leaped out of the crowd, and pounced on Nie Yan.

A group of Manticores followed closely behind. Seeing this, Nie Yan turned around and ran.

Nie Yan actually dared to lure so many Manticores onto himself, he really had guts, Ban Xing De Hu Li thought. Unless Nie Yan was very confident in his skills, he wouldn't do such a difficult, almost suicidal move.

"Number Three, attack the last three Manticores!" Nie Yan shouted in the team chat. The Number Three Thief heard Nie Yan's shout and didn't dare to be ambiguous. He raised the short bow in his hand and shot three arrows, bang, bang, bang, all hitting the target.

The three Manticores following behind shifted their target and fell on the Thief, separating from the main force and pouncing on the Thief.

The Thief quickly ran back towards the waiting main force.

Nie Yan ran wildly through the swamp, counting the time silently in his heart. Five seconds, six seconds, seven seconds, he immediately shouted in the team chat, "Number Two, attack the last three Manticores!"

The Thief quickly did as Nie Yan said, raised his bow and shot at the three Manticores, and another three Manticores separated from the main force.

Each time, the Thieves only lured three Manticores, so the pressure on the main force was very small. The melee players stood in front, and the Mages behind them could shoot down these Manticores with just three rounds of volleys.

Nie Yan ran at full speed, dodging the pursuit of the Manticore group. Because Nie Yan was very fast, dodged very nimbly, and used all kinds of tricks, the Manticore group couldn't do anything to Nie Yan for a while.

The three Thieves took turns luring monsters, leading the Manticores away from the main force one by one.

Magic rained down densely, and the Manticores fell to the ground one by one. Nie Yan's method of farming Manticores was undoubtedly successful, but it was all based on Nie Yan's superb escape skills and precise calculations. Others who wanted to do this probably didn't have the ability!

"What speed!" Ban Xing De Hu Li saw Nie Yan flying through the jungle, making the Manticores run around in circles, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Guild Leader, who exactly is that guy?"

The team members muttered to themselves, wondering where Ban Xing De Hu Li had found such a perverted guy.

"Focus on output!" Ban Xing De Hu Li shouted in a deep voice.

The team members immediately fell silent and dared not discuss any further. After a few rounds of magic, they took down a few more Manticores.

"Damn, three more are coming, not enough magic."

"Use magic potions!"

Ban Xing De Hu Li was horrified to discover that every time they had just killed three Manticores, another Thief would immediately lead another three Manticores over, wave after wave, unhurriedly, each time precisely timing the moment.

Nie Yan's timing was really precise, Ban Xing De Hu Li thought in shock.

The team members weren't stupid, they understood how difficult it was to dodge a group of Manticores like Nie Yan did. They also admired him in their hearts, and didn't dare to underestimate Nie Yan like they did when they first met.

At first, the players didn't believe that Nie Yan could lead them through the Augma特 Muddy Marsh, but after this battle, their trust in Nie Yan was established.
