“Nie Yan, brother, has a good eye for finding such a good spot!” Huang Hun said admiringly. He had much more experience than Yu Lan, Bai Kaishui, and others. After all, he often followed the leader, Ban Xing de Hu Li, to run difficult dungeons, and he knew a thing or two about the techniques for dealing with them.

“Tell me, what's his intention?” Although Yu Lan was the leader, their team was only a mid-tier one, and they weren't very skilled at running dungeons. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been wiped out in the simple-difficulty Tree Demon Forest dungeon.

“When running a dungeon, one task is to find a suitable spot to attack a single monster in a group, attracting one or two monsters to break away from the group, so that the group of monsters can be defeated one by one. Generally, this task is done by a thief with a crossbow. You probably all understand this. The eighteen Tree Demons in front are very close together. Once you disturb one of them, the others will follow. This must be the difficulty of the expert-level dungeon. Even the small checkpoints are so difficult to deal with. I observed for a while and couldn't find a suitable place to start. It wasn't until Nie Yan climbed up the tree that I suddenly understood. That's the best spot! If you don't have excellent eyesight, you can't find it! If our team had a thief like that, our chances of survival in the dungeon would increase by at least 30%.” Huang Hun explained, without concealing his admiration for Nie Yan.

Yu Lan was silent. She thought she was capable of leading a team well, but it turned out she was still a bit naive.

When Yao Yao looked at Nie Yan, a strange light flashed in her eyes. Nie Yan's position in her heart had been upgraded. He was the most admirable person besides Sister Yu Lan.

“However, even if you find the best position, it takes a lot of skill and agility for a thief to attract a small number of Tree Demons away from the group. A slight deviation could lead to a wipe. Even those elite thieves can hardly avoid making mistakes.” Huang Hun looked at Nie Yan and said nervously.

Nie Yan stood among the branches, put his dagger on his waist, took out a crossbow, and held it on his left arm. He looked through the sights at the group of moving Tree Demons in front of him. A trace of hot sweat seeped from his forehead. At this time, Nie Yan was also extremely nervous. He held the lives of all nineteen members of the team in his hands!

The air froze. Nie Yan felt as if the surroundings were blank. All that was left in front of him was the crossbow in his hand and the target in the sights.

Time passed by, second by second. He was still waiting for an opportunity.

Most of the Tree Demons were standing still, only one or two would move occasionally. The distance between each Tree Demon was only about two yards, which was an extremely dangerous distance.

The eighteen people behind were all watching Nie Yan's every move. They hadn't felt anything before, but after listening to Huang Hun's explanation, they realized that their lives were in Nie Yan's hands. Once the Tree Demons in front discovered them and surrounded them, this Tree Demon Forest dungeon was closed. Where could they escape to?

Nie Yan stood on the tree branch, holding the crossbow, motionless, like a still statue.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

Nie Yan's eyes, the sights, and the distant Tree Demons formed a straight line.

An occasional breeze blew through the forest, and leaves fell like raindrops, like butterflies fluttering.

Nie Yan glanced at the falling leaves blowing in the wind. The wind speed was moderate.

Nie Yan suddenly raised the crossbow, pulled the trigger, and the crossbow trembled violently. After firing an arrow, the direction suddenly deviated sharply. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, three arrows shot out, and the directions in which the three arrows flew in the air were not a straight line, but shot in three different directions.

“It's over, Nie Yan's hand is shaking!” Huang Hun said in shock. He knew that the hand must not shake or be nervous when the crossbow was fired. A little mistake could cost the whole team their lives.

The person firing this arrow, no matter what profession, must first have a strong mental fortitude, because this arrow determines the fate of the whole team. Under this high level of psychological pressure, even highly skilled veterans may make mistakes due to nervousness. The result of a mistake is undoubtedly a wipe.

It seems Nie Yan's mental fortitude isn't strong enough, Huang Hun thought.

Hearing Huang Hun's words, the hearts of everyone in the team were in their throats.

“Bai Kaishui, get ready, block position 289.288.212!” After firing the arrows, Nie Yan didn't even look to see if the three arrows had hit their mark. He turned around and jumped down from the tree branch and ran towards the team.

Huang Hun and the others looked towards the Tree Demons' activity. The first arrow passed through the Tree Demons and hit a tree trunk in the distance. The second arrow hit a short tree to the west. Neither arrow hit a Tree Demon. The two arrows pierced the bark with two dull thuds, alarming the nearby Tree Demons. More than a dozen Tree Demons searched for the source of the sound.

The remaining arrow hit one of the closest Tree Demons. Two Tree Demons discovered Nie Yan and pounced on him, baring their fangs and claws.

The two Tree Demons quickly broke away from the Tree Demon gathering place, fell behind, and chased after Nie Yan.

Only two were attracted, without alarming the other Tree Demons!

“Damn, amazing, miraculous.” Huang Hun exclaimed. The others didn't see what was going on, but he did. Nie Yan was holding a repeating crossbow, and the three arrows hit three different positions. The first two arrows distracted the other Tree Demons, and one arrow attracted two Tree Demons. When Nie Yan used the crossbow just now, his hand wasn't shaking, but he was violently changing the shooting direction! He had only heard about this superb technique in legends.

The same crossbow, used by different people, has completely different effects!

Huang Hun secretly recorded this video. Without the person's consent, this video cannot be published on the website, but it can be circulated among friends. He thought he should show it to the leader, Hu Li.

What is a top-level thief!

The entire process of pulling monsters can be used as a textbook by most thieves.

Dealing with only two Tree Demons is not a difficult task. Bai Kaishui blocked the position and stopped one Tree Demon. Nie Yan stunned the Tree Demon chasing behind him. All the melee players surrounded him, and the mages fired spells together. Boom, boom, boom, the spells landed on the Tree Demons and exploded.

The Tree Demon swept its arms, knocking back the melee players. Bai Kaishui roared and didn't retreat, performing a shield bash.

“The key to shield warriors is that the impact doesn't have to be fierce, but it must be stable. No matter what, the center of gravity cannot be forward.” Nie Yan glanced at Bai Kaishui's attacking posture. To be honest, Bai Kaishui's skills were not bad, but he was still several levels below the master in Nie Yan's mind.

In fact, there were countless people who were stronger than Nie Yan in his previous life. Now everyone is just entering the game, and various combat skills are still being explored and familiarized with. But Nie Yan is different. He played as a thief for ten years, and various combat skills are already deeply ingrained in his mind. There is a saying that practice makes perfect. After ten years of accumulation, Nie Yan's skills have far surpassed any current player. These amazing techniques that Nie Yan is now displaying will be used by any master ten years later. Nie Yan is not sure about using some truly difficult techniques. Those are the real unique skills!

Bai Kaishui adjusted his attacking posture. Before, he was not very convinced by Nie Yan, but the move that Nie Yan showed just now, although he didn't see it clearly, did shock him. He naturally included Nie Yan in the ranks of super masters, and he believed what Nie Yan said even more.

After Bai Kaishui adjusted his stance, although the Boss's attack was fierce, he stood more firmly, his steps were firm, and the pressure he was under was greatly reduced.
